Page 127 of Bride By Initiation

He finally caves, giving Sean another angry look and me a sad one, full of disappointment. He mumbles, "My beautifulfiglia," shaking his head, and they leave.

My heart aches. As mad as I was at him and my mother, I wouldn't ever want to hurt or disappoint them on purpose. Now they're in pain, and I caused it.

Dante asserts, "Bridget, time to go."

She glances between Fiona and Sean, tears still falling. "Everything I did was for you two. I wish you'd believe me."

Sean sighs. "We do believe you, Mom. We've always believed you after things came to light."

"Things that we still have questions about," Fiona adds.

Pain, fear, and horror wash over Bridget's expression.

I don't understand it. I only know what Fiona and Sean have told me, but it's not much. Bridget claims she had to hide them. She wasn'tallowed to go back to Chicago and was only allowed to be in New York at her father's. If she had come back to Chicago or seen the O'Malleys after Sean Sr. died, then they would've been killed. She insists she did everything she could to keep them safe.

The O'Malleys forgave her when they found out she was threatened, and they also convinced Sean and Fiona to do the same.

However, Sean and Fiona have always wanted more details about who the people threatening her were and what happened to their father. She's never provided them with that information, nor has anyone else. So I can understand their frustration.

"Bridget, let's go. Come on," Dante orders as kisses her forehead, then he gives Sean another angry look. He glances at my neck, then shakes his head. He leads Bridget out of the house.

Fiona doesn't move.

I step next to her. "Fiona."

She whirls to face me. "What does my dad have to do with this?"

I shake my head and shrug my shoulders, lying once again. "It was just his drawing Sean remembered and suggested we put on us."

She stares at me, as if she can see right through me. "You know what's crazy, Zara?"

The hairs on my arms rise. "What's that?"

"I've trusted you my entire life. I never thought you were a liar, but now I clearly see I was wrong." She glances over at Sean. "And you?" A tear falls down her cheek. She scoffs. "You two deserve each other. Congratulations."

"Fiona!" Sean and I say at the same time.

She leaves the apartment, and I stand frozen, wondering how our actions could hurt so many people.

The Next Day

Tingles tease me, and I groan. "Just like that, my pulse."

Zara smirks, slowing her rotation down. "What about this?"

"I said not to stop." I slap her bottom, but it's not very hard.

She tousles my hair, her pussy circling my cock at the same tormented speed, and then swipes her tongue against my lips.

I grab the back of her head and force her to keep kissing me until she's whimpering and quivering around my erection.

I grab her hip, mumbling, "You little brat."
