But Sabrina wasn't the only one who couldn't hold back any longer. Marco's loins ached for release. He brought his hands back to her hips and continued rocking his body against hers until all of the pleasure and sensation culminated into one perfect moment of orgasm.
He closed his eyes and held himself inside of her as his body exploded with ecstasy. His cock swelled and his balls clenched, releasing all of his sexual tension and passion in just a few short seconds. After the intensity had passed, he opened his eyes and took a breath, feeling dizzy with bliss.
“You're amazing,” he said, shaking his head in awe.
Sabrina laid on her side and Marco crawled up next to her. They cuddled up, entangling their naked bodies. A cool evening breeze blew in from the open window, falling lightly upon their skin. It felt refreshing to Marco and the smell of the nearby ocean was nostalgic. It reminded him of home.
He kissed her forehead and wrapped an arm around her back, pulling her close. They were silent for a while, just enjoying the sound of the waves outside in the distance. Marco was still in shock that his life was coming together in such a positive way. Things were really falling into place for him.
“I'm glad you're mine,” he whispered, as he affectionately touched Sabrina's bare shoulder.
“Me too.” She lifted her gaze and smiled. “I'm really excited to see Orsino Island and to meet all of your family.”
Marco nodded. “It's going to be wonderful. Orsino is a paradise. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you.”
Sabrina snuggled her face toward Marco's chest and giggled. She seemed just as excited as he was about it.
The fact that she's willing to accept my unusual circumstances says so much about her. She's uprooting her entire life to come with me and that's not something an average woman would do, he thought. This girl is worthy of everything I have to offer. She deserves to be a princess and spoiled with the greatest of all things. I hope that I'm able to offer her all that she desires in life.
Marco grabbed the edge of the blanket and wrapped it over the two of them. Then he relaxed into the bed. His mind was filled with the best of thoughts. He especially looked forward to the following day, when he'd get to introduce the woman he loved to both his father and his country.
And what better way to show her off than at the ball Magdalena has arranged? He thought, as he drifted off into a deep sleep.
Chapter 17
Sabrina
Sabrina's face was practically part of the window of the car as she and Marco were driven up the long and winding paved driveway toward the Palace. After a nine-hour flight, the two of them were finally on Orsino Island and she was about to see the castle that Marco called home. She was beyond excited about it, but also desperately nervous. This wasn't just about seeing where her lover lived, this was also about meeting his family. That by itself would have been enough to make a girl nervous, even in a normal situation. But this situation was anything but normal.
“Are you
okay?” Marco asked, reaching across the backseat to touch Sabrina's shoulders.
She nodded, but inside she felt nothing but turmoil. Her heart was pounding out of her chest and her hands were clammy. When she turned to face Marco, she was greeted by his warm and reassuring smile.
“I can tell you're nervous,” he said, bringing his had affectionately down her back. “But I assure you, there's nothing to be nervous about. You're going to love it here. I promise.”
Sabrina smiled and scooted close to him. “I already love the island. It's beautiful here. Reminds me a lot of Hawaii, actually. I'm not nervous about that, but I am a little bit anxious about meeting your family.”
“My father is going to adore you,” he said. “Trust me. It will all work out.”
Except for the fact that I'm the last person they'd expect to be your girlfriend, Sabrina thought.
“I hope you're right.” She fidgeted with her hands as she spoke. Then she turned to face the window once again. Her jaw dropped as the palace at the top of the hill came into view.
The massive structure stood tall against the blue sky and appeared to be at least as wide as a few city blocks. It was made of white marble, which was beautifully complimented by the red-colored roof and an ornate gold design surrounded the building, just below the roof line.
It's like the White House, only far more intricate and dazzling, she thought, taking in the view.
She glanced over to Marco and then back toward Orsino Palace. She couldn't believe her surroundings. Her reality was quickly becoming more grandiose than anything she could have ever dreamed.
The driver pulled the car up to the front of the Palace and an armed guard in a black suit opened the rear door. Sabrina smiled nervously as she stepped out. Marco was close behind her. He placed his hand on her lower back and led her toward the stairs.
“Welcome to Orsino Palace,” Marco said, leaning toward Sabrina. “I'm glad you're here with me.”
Sabrina's heart beat wildly as they walked up the grand staircase that led toward the front entrance. Armed guards lined the edge of the stairs. They stood at attention, their facial expressions completely stoic as they kept their black rifles in hand. They appeared to be ready for anything.
The two got to the top of the stairs and approached the massive front door. One of the guards gave Marco an affirmative nod.
