Give it time, I thought. We'll sort this shit out. She'll figure out where she belongs and where she doesn't soon enough. Same as what she'll figure out about how to handle that fucking name.
“I wish it didn't have to be like this,” she whispered, closing her eyes. “I wish we'd gotten together differently, without this forced marriage and my Dad being an asshole.”
“Fuck wishing, babe. Fuck it right into the ground.” I reached for her hands and squeezed them both. Hard. “We're together, right? That's all that matters. I took you by force and pulled your heart out. Had to do it the hard way because I don't do shit easy. And you know what? I'd do it all over again without a second thought because you're here, you're mine, and you're not going anywhere. I'd twist your heart to pieces as long as it's in my hands, and you've got room for my crazy ass inside it.”#p#分页标题#e#
I gave her another kiss. Wasn't gonna hear any more words out her lips or kiss away any tears falling from her eyes.
“Now, go get ready.” I turned her by the shoulders toward the large bathroom. “We got a flight to catch in two hours. Suitcase is already waiting next to your shelf in the closet.”
The helicopter ride tired her out. Or maybe it was just the hangover from having my cock tossing her around 'til daylight. Anna was still snoozing on my shoulder when we touched down on the helipad, on top of the casino's fiftieth floor, a quick walk to my private suite's special entrance.
Didn't know how the hell she managed to smell so sweet, and it was all natural too. Sure made my fucking dick strain in my pants. My cock wouldn't quit throbbing, hungry as hell, like it had forgotten all about last night's fucking.
It made it hard to think on the long ride in, but I managed.
My boys got out first and scoped things out. It wouldn't take Rossini long to figure out where we were heading. If he didn't know we were in Jersey now, then he'd know soon enough when I sent him my invitation.
“It's all clear, D.” Boris' thin accent crackled over the radio on my belt.
Anna stirred, rubbing her eyes. I threw an arm around her as the pilot hopped out and opened our door.
“We're here already? Damn! I wanted to see the skyline.” Her lips puckered sourly.
“Plenty of time for that shit later, babe. Best part about being rich is riding the skies whenever I damn well please. Come on. I'll show you to your room.”
Nikolai stalked the building's perimeter. He nodded to me as we passed. It was good to have six eyes on the rooftop with my bodyguards and me, instead of just two, but I wasn't taking anything for granted.
If I'd seen the faintest glint of a sniper on any of the towers nearby, I would've thrown my wife to the ground so fucking fast she'd slap me across the face from shock. Too bad, though. Better taking a few bruises with piss and vinegar than winding up dead.
Inside, I relaxed. Anna's eyes went wide when she saw the huge suite where we were staying, easily its own apartment. A menu was laid out next to the liquor cabinet, everything from lobster to filet mignon, and all complimentary. Being owner has its perks.
I let her wander about while I washed my face and combed my hair. The cool water felt good, refreshing, soothing the horny devil in my skin. Took the edge right off staring into the hot, bloodthirsty eyes of the man looking back at me in the mirror.
My fists tightened. Fuck. I wished I could've given her a proper honeymoon – something better than this glitz and glamor under the knife, knowing it might come down and slash our world to hell at any time.
Only gotta draw blood one more time, I thought. Kill that fuck and mop up the minions. Then you can give her the world.
I was about to open the door when I heard her humming. The soft serenade coming from the little reading alcove nearby told me she'd finally settled in. And after several days of pure fucking hell, my girl was content, safe and happy in my presence as a kitten purring her heart out.
My cock started to get hard again for the tenth time since we left New York. I shook my head, forcing away the lust. There'd be plenty of time to have her beneath me later, after business was done.
I popped the door and strode out, heading for the elevator. Had to collect Boris outside and get down to the VIP lounge, where I had a war room of sorts hidden behind the lavish bar. The call I'd set up this morning was due in five minutes.
“Hey!” Anna yelled out to me as I walked past her, looking up from the thick leather volume she'd plucked from the shelf. “Where're you off to? Can I join you? I'd love to see the casino floor!”#p#分页标题#e#
“Not now, babe. You're staying put.” I focused stern eyes on her. “Got business to handle.”
