She was going to fucking kill me if this continued. Technically, it would be murder because I’d tried to escape.

Lucrezia froze and moved back until she stared down at my dick straining to get to her through my boxers. She tentatively reached down and traced her fingers along its length, only to snatch it back when I hissed a warning.

She swallowed. “I’ve never seen a man’s penis before.”

She really was going to end up killing me. Her eyes were locked on my groin and I swear my dick was going to attempt to do tricks just to get more of her attention.

“Does it hurt when I touch it?” Those huge eyes of hers met mine and the look in them made me want to claim her and hide her far away from the rest of the world.

I bit into my bottom lip when her fingers fluttered over my hard flesh again. “The opposite of hurt.” She must have been a snake charmer in a previous life because my serpent was practically purring at her touch. “Lucrezia!” I almost shouted when she squeezed.

“What?” Her brow was furrowed but she was still transfixed on watching my groin.

“My body is not a petting zoo!”

A slow, sensual smile spread across her lips. “No one has ever been aroused by me before.”

I seriously doubted that. There was no heterosexual male who wouldn’t give her a second or third look. Shit, I was surprised that Lucas had managed to keep her hidden from lust-filled advances this long. The man must have had to triple his security level lately.

“Lucrezia, this isn’t a game. We’re living in the real world, not fantasy. If you get hurt, people I care about will hate me. I don’t have that many people in my life to be able to afford to lose them.”

She had the audacity to crawl over me until our noses almost touched. “Then don’t hurt me.”

I narrowed my eyes at her. “Sitting on my dick doesn’t help.”

Lucrezia grinned and ground her soaking wet panties onto my dick. Fuck it all to hell and back, I was only a man with the willpower of one. Without speaking a word, I rolled her onto her back and ripped those lace panties, pushing my boxers down. Lucrezia gasped but her legs fell open. I desperately wanted to sink deep inside her, but I restrained the beast that paced inside me. Instead I rubbed my hard length through her pussy lips to stimulate her clitoris.

Her nails dug into my shoulders, shredding my skin and making my back arch. My lips met hers in a kiss and said everything that I refused to voice. Yesterday she didn’t know how to kiss, today her lips met mine without hesitation.

“Ash,” she moaned into my mouth and like the fool that I was, I pressed her deeper into the mattress.

I descended into the madness that Lucrezia created, dragging her with me. The cold, detached Dom who existed in the Twilight Rooms evaporated and in his place was a creature controlled by emotions and chaos. Something about this woman destroyed the rigid laws I abided by. She carved her initials in my heart with those sharp nails of hers and left me breathless. I had experienced every type of pleasure this world had to offer, but nothing matched what this woman made me feel.

The sensation of my dick sliding through those moist lips sent tingles racing up my spine. I ignored the niggling voice that screamed that she was too good for me. Nothing would stop me from experiencing feeling her surrounding me with her heat. I couldn’t resist her anymore.

She arched under me, her heels digging into my ass while she trailed those nails down my spine. “Ash!”

Hell, yeah…

Pleasure danced down my spine and my balls tightened in anticipation. Lucrezia’s entire body stiffened as she screamed her orgasm into my mouth. My cum erupted from me to coat her ass, my hips grinding into hers.

Sanity crashed into me in a cold wave of reality.

“Don’t,” Lucrezia said in a low tone. “Don’t regret what happened, Ash. Silver tarnishes so easily that most people don’t want to use it in jewellery, yet it’s one of my favourite metals to work with.”

I closed my eyes and just lived in this one moment because there was no way I could ever let this happen again. Someone as pure as Lucrezia deserved to be with someone who matched her goodness. The darkness that dwelt inside me would slowly smother her essence and destroy her to leave her nothing but a shell like Mum.

I would never do that to a woman. It was the reason why I planned on remaining single forever.

Summoning all my courage to create the illusion of the man everyone knew, I finally pushed myself onto my arms to take my weight off her. Lucrezia watched me warily as if she expected me to lash out at her. She was more vulnerable than I ever imagined and not the girl that she portrayed to the world. It seemed that both of us had excellent acting skills.

“Don’t look at me like that,” I warned.

“Like what?”

“Like I’m the type of man who’ll come and rescue you from your ivory tower.”

“I thought you were more the type to have his own personal pleasure tower.”
