Page 73 of Taking Adalisa

Smiling, I rub my thumb in a circular motion as I fuck her, slowly waking her up as the pleasure takes over. Her eyes flutter open, and she looks at me.

“Matthias,” she moans, her chest arching as she grips the sheets. “Please.”

I pick up the pace, letting pleasure take over. Adalisa clenches around me, making me throw my head back as I let out a growl.

“Shit.” I take a deep breath. “I’m like a fucking teenager.”

“Please, Matthias,” she begs. “Please, Daddy.”

My eyes lock onto hers as I lose control, thrusting into her with more passion, more force.

“Come, Adalisa, come for Daddy,” I grunt, trying to hold myself back.

Her eyes roll back as she clenches around me, letting pleasure take over as she comes undone, I soon follow her. I slow my thrusts before pulling out and lie down right next to her.

“You can wake me up like that more often,” she mumbles, wrapping her arm around my chest.

CHAPTER 29

ADALISA

“Are you sure this is okay?” I ask Margery as we walk around the compound.

My brother is still out there, and he obviously wants to come after me. Why else would he have been in the middle of a grocery store, staring at me? He wants to finish what he started all those years ago. I can feel it in my gut… it might also be indigestion, but I think he is here to finish what he started.

“I do this every single day, and nothing has ever happened. It’s going to be perfectly fine.”Margery waves her hand in the air. “And besides, there are guards watching to make sure everything is okay. We are completely safe.”

But I can’t help but have this feeling in my stomach, telling me everything isn’t going to be okay.

“Why didn’t you ever tell me about your brother? You told me you were an only child.” Margery looks at me.

I sigh. “I wanted to, but I was trying to forget about him. It isn’t easy remembering everything he did to me,” I mumble. “I wanted to, but there would have been a lot of questions, and I wasn’t ready to talk about it.”

“That’s why you never came over to the house for a meal,” she realizes.

I nod. “Exactly. I didn’t want to say I couldn’t eat it because I bet you cook wonderfully. I didn’t want to have to explain, and you look at me like I’m crazy.”

“I would have never.” Margery stops walking to look at me.

I raise an eyebrow. “Are you sure about that?”

She takes several seconds to think about it. If Margery told me she couldn’t eat food she didn’t prepare, I would think she was crazy. I thought she was crazy for thinking she saw Ethan.

“Okay, I would have totally thought you were crazy,” she giggles.

We continue to walk, taking in the fresh air surrounding us. There aren’t many places in New York City that have land around the property, but I’m grateful for this space. We can hear people walking and talking on the other side of the wall, but besides that, it’s peaceful.

“If I could live here, I would,” I tell Margery. “So quiet, yet you can hear the hustle of the city.”

“That’s what I told Ethan when he first showed me this place. This wasn’t where we were supposed to live, but he saw how much I loved it and decided this was ours.” Margery looks around.

We walk in silence for several minutes, just enjoying each other’s company while being outside. Soon, I’m going to have to go back to work and won’t be able to do this as much. Maybe I can convince my boss to get another manager so I can work fewer hours. That is, if Matthias is okay with that.

“I’m so glad you’re safe,” I tell Margery. “I’m sorry I didn’t believe you at the beginning.”

“It’s okay, I didn’t believe myself either. Not until he showed up and took me,” she chuckles. “I wouldn’t have believed myselfif I were you, so don’t feel bad at all. I understand completely and don’t blame you for anything.”

I take a deep breath and let it out. I didn’t think I would be able to apologize properly, but I’m glad she is okay.
