“Mine,” I growled. “You’re all mine. My wife. My property. All mine.”

She pulled away slightly, locking eyes with me.

“You’re my property too, then,” she murmured.

“I’m yours,” I vowed before slamming my mouth against hers, kissing her hungrily.

She was circling her hips in my lap, driving me fucking mad. I moved my hand down her body, my fingers finding her wet pussy, and traced her swollen clit.

“Manuel,” she moaned. “I need you inside me.”

She lifted herself up and grabbed my cock between her dainty fingers, my ring staring back at me, and we both watched as she sunk lower.

“Cazzo.” I clenched my jaw at the sensation, wrapping my hand around the back of her neck as my cock disappeared inside her pussy. “Take what you need,amorina, or I’ll lose all control and fuck you into oblivion.”

Her breasts pressed against my chest as she pushed her fingers into my hair, gripping me as she rode my cock.

“You’re mine now too,” she groaned, riding me harder, making my every fantasy come true.

I grabbed her hair and pulled her closer, my lips brushing against hers. With a growl, I began pounding into her, imprinting on her heart and soul. The way she’d already staked a claim on mine.

“I’m yours, Athena.” My voice came out guttural as I watched her ride me, her long hair a mess and her lips swollen. I thrust into her, her arousal dripping down on my thighs. “You’re a fucking vision.”

Her lips found mine as I fucked her harder, our grunts and moans mixing. She was getting closer, and the sight was taking me right along to my own release.

“Oh… my God,” she moaned, her eyes fluttering shut and her muscles contracting around my cock like a vise. “Manuel… Manuel, I’m coming.”

And she took me right along with her.

“Cazzo,” I groaned against her lips, my dick twitching with my release.

For a moment we remained still, her body shuddering against mine as my cock settled inside her hot pussy.

I’d never get enough of her.

“Athena,” I whispered, and she looked at me with those mesmerizing green eyes, a satisfied smile on her lips. “You’re everything I’ve ever wanted.”

She sighed, bringing her forehead to rest against mine. “I’m starting to think you’re everything I needed.”

This was love. And I would hold on to it with all my might.

ATHENA

Icouldn’t breathe. I couldn’t see the sky.

The invisible hand tightened around my neck and I thrashed against the barrier, my arms and legs bound and desperate to be set free.

“Please.” I tried to scream, but I couldn’t find my voice. Tears blurred my vision. My lungs burned. I was dying… I didn’t want to die.

“Amorina.” I stopped, let the voice caress me. “Wake up.”

I wrenched my eyes open with a gasp, my sweat-drenched skin pressed against Manuel’s warm body. My eyes darted around wildly, searching for the sky, but I couldn’t find it.

“Athena, what is it?” I couldn’t peel my gaze off the curtains where the moon and stars were supposed to be staring back at me.

He cupped my face, his nose brushing against mine. “Athena, look at me.”
