I watched her body shudder, lips parting. “Stop, I don't want anyone dead, I didn't even want you to kill Tony.”

“No?” Tilting my head, I eyed her curiously. “That's not what your eyes said, but good thing it wasn't up to you. He deserved it, Ivy. And now he's burning in hell where he belongs.”

Arching her back off the tiles, her head rocked in my hand. “And where do you think you'll go when you die?”

A deep laugh rolled out, my tone low and thick. “You don't scare easy, do you? You're not afraid to die, you're not afraid of me. What are you afraid of?”

Turning her chin up high, the base of her skull pressed harder into my palm. Her lips plumped up, tongue running across the bottom. Her voice started to come out, but I stopped it.

I didn't want to know. Ivy didn't need to fear a thing as long as I was here. No one would touch her, no one would even look at her crooked with me around.

Crushing my lips into hers, I kissed her hard. My hands drove deeper into her hair, tightening and curling around the wet locks.

And Ivy kissed me back. She started off tempered, cautiously letting me control the intensity. But she didn't try to stop me.

Her mouth opened, tongue finding its way to mine. The passion turned on, heating into arousal, lust, desire.

The water drenched us, making our kiss liquid fire. Gripping the neck of my shirt, I yanked it over my shoulders and threw it to the floor. Ivy held on, kissing and licking, never letting go.

“I won't let anyone hurt you, Ivy.” Whispering into her mouth, I spoke the truth. “I won't let it happen, not now, not ever.”

And I meant what I said.

Never again.

Feverishly, her hands stroked my hair, raking my scalp. Her wet body pressed against my chest, hardened nipples pricking my skin. My cock thickened, turning rock solid. Popping the button on my jeans, I tugged the heavy material down over my legs, kicking them off. My cock bounced free, standing firm and aching to feel her.

Dipping into her neck, I kissed and nipped her skin. Planting kisses up her throat, I bit her lobe, and licked the shell of her ear. The sexiest moan slipped out of her mouth, head rolling off to the side.

With one hand in her hair, I dragged the other down over her ribs, and stopped at her hip. My fingertips dug into her skin, holding her tight as she rocked and gyrated against my thigh. Licking her collarbone, I made my way to her tit, taking her nipple between my teeth and biting it softly.

Ivy's hands scratched down my back, piercing my spine. I could feel her nails in my skin, and I knew I'd still be able to see her pleasure tomorrow if I looked at my back.

I was so fucking turned on, so hard and eager to slide deep into her hot cunt. Stroking up her slit, I felt her arousal. She was wet and warm, her pussy pulsing against my finger and clenching at nothing.

Flicking her clit, Ivy moaned louder, her legs trembling to hold her body up. “You're so fucking wet. Fuck.” The air-filled words met her hair as I cupped her cheeks and kissed her head.

“Dante, I . . .” Moaning again, she gasped as I slipped a finger into her heat. Her thighs clenched around my arm, back snapping square.

“You like that, Princess? You want to feel a real man?” Fingering her cunt, I let her juice drip over my wrist. “I'm going to fuck that pussy, I'm going to make that mine.” Quickening the pace, I brought her right to the edge of coming.

“Ah! Mm, Dante! Fuck!” Her head fell into my chest, tits rising and falling with need. “Dante, you need to know—”

“Shh, Sweetheart, just enjoy this, enjoy right now.” Slipping in a second finger, I fucked her with my hand. Her legs shook, goosebumps jumping off her skin.

And just as her body was about to crash and explode, I yanked my touch away. “Not yet, not yet, Princess.”

Flashing her bright eyes, her thick lashes fanned like canopies. “Dante—”

“Don't talk, just tell me you want this. Tell me you want this and that's all I need.”

Biting her lower lip, Ivy nodded, her fingers gripping around my shoulders.

Scooping my hands under her ass, I lifted her up, pushing her back against the wall. Kissing her hard, I positioned my cock against her pussy, and slid in slowly.

Burying her head into the side of my neck, a pained moan hit my ears. “Are you okay?” I whispered into her ear.

Nodding, she lifted her face, and stared into my eyes. “Just go slow for me.”
