Chapter Twenty-Eight

Rocco

I drive slowly toward the cabin, and my grip tightens on her, worried she won’t hold on to me properly as I drive the winding roads toward my lair.

After Hallie came again while I fucked her ass with my thumb, she was like Jell-O, and the last thing I wanted was for my girl to get hurt.

If she thinks she can leave me, then she’s about to learn otherwise. I’ll just keep her here until I fuck my baby into her and she has no choice but to accept me into her life.

Besides, the clock is ticking, and before long, my father will want me to step up and play happy fucking families with a girl I have no intention of touching, let alone marrying. The thought repulses me and sends a tsunami of hatred through my body. I belong to Hallie, and she belongs to me. Nobody touches us but each other.

I turn onto the side road and smile at the camera, knowing it will open the concealed entrance to my property, obscured by the naked eye with strategically planted trees.

“Nearly there, Little Red,” I whisper as I lift her hand to my lips and kiss her fingers while weaving through the forest.

When my cabin comes into view, Hallie straightens. “Where are we?”

I park my bike, cut the engine, and push out the kickstand. “My cabin.”

“I can’t stay here.” Her head darts around, and she looks adorable as panic sets in.

I chuckle at her cute defiance. Especially when she crosses her arms over her chest and pouts.

“Of course you can.”

I lift her from the bike like a child and place her on her feet. She grabs my arm to stabilize herself, then just as quickly detaches from me with a huff. I allow her the petulant act for now, knowing we have a lot to iron out between us.

“I-I can’t stay here tonight, Rocco!” She stomps her foot, but I ignore her outburst and head toward the door. I glide my hand over the security screen at the side of the door, and the moment it unlocks, I step inside.

Immediately, the tension falls from me, and I relax in my space. The fact she’s here with me is the perfect scenario I’ve been waiting for.
