But my excitement didn’t last because as soon as his eyes dropped to my lips, he looked away, pulling back and taking his sweet warmth with him.
Disappointment twisted like a snake in my guts, but I wouldn’t back down.
Even though it was just my first time seeing this man, I wanted him. He was fire and ice and I wanted him to burn and freeze me. And I always get what I want. I would go an extra mile if it meant getting it.
My therapist had said it was a coping mechanism, a defense I’d built after what happened years back.
But Lillian could go shove it. She didn’t know anything. I just pay her for nothing.
“Running away, II mio futuro marito?” I asked, taking off my heels and carrying them in my hand as I slowly walked after him, not trying to catch up. “Though the view of your back is just as tantalizing, so I can’t complain.”
He said nothing, just kept walking. Then, “Do you want this marriage, Belladonna?”
I had to bite my lips to keep a moan in. I don’t think my future husband would appreciate it, but it wasn’t my fault when he said my name with that sexy voice of his.
“I didn’t at the start,” I said slowly, still staring at his back. “But now I do.”
“What changed?”
“I met my husband. You see, I’m trying to get into his pants, but he’s playing hard to get.”
He scoffed, and I wanted to see what expression he was making–if he was even making any–but I kept walking slowly. Why? I was thinking of my next move.
“Neither of us wants this marriage, Kade,” I said, my voice soft. “But it’s inevitable. Our families have chosen for us, because they think they know what’s best for us. We’re going to be stuck together for who knows how long, so why don’t we make this easy for ourselves?”
Night was slowly taking over now and it was getting hard to see, but I knew he slowed down so I finally caught up with him. But I wasn’t planning to walk beside him.
I moved so I was standing in front and he stopped walking, looking down with his eyebrow raised.
“I’ve missed your face,” I said, a teasing smile on my face.
He scoffed, and I finally got to see his reaction. He didn’t look so cold anymore.
“You’re the quiet type I see.”
“Is that a problem?” he asked, placing his hands into his pockets.
I shook my head. “Not at all. I talk enough for the two of us. Why don’t we make our first meeting memorable,

Kade?”

I stepped closer, placing my hand on his chest, feeling his steady heartbeat.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” I went still, my eyes widening. “Is it because you can’t get it up?”
I almost can’t see his face because it’s gotten dark, but I could swear he looked amused. “Do you really believe that?”
Good, Bella. You’re making progress. You’re tearing his walls down. It was more thrilling than I thought it would be.
“Of course not.” I took another step closer and this time I pressed my chest to his, wishing there weren’t clothes between us so I could feel his bare skin. “So what’s the matter, Kade? Do you hate me that way? Or can you only get it up for one woman?”
He went still, so still that his chest wasn’t even moving.
Oho!
My mouth was just rambling, but I hadn’t really thought there was another woman. That was interesting, but it doesn’t matter. I was the one getting married to him in the end.
“Wow,” I purred, my fingers slowly trailing up his arm. “That was a plot twist I didn’t expect. So who’s this woman, Kade?”
“She’s no one,” he answered, his voice hard.
“Hmm.” My fingers continued their trail until they reached his neck where bare skin was, and I could finally touch his skin without any clothes in the way. Dio, I wanted to see him naked so bad. “I don’t believe you.”
“I don’t give a fuck what you believe.”
“Don’t be so rigid, now.” My fingers moved to his throat, feeling it. What would he do if I wrapped my fingers around it and squeezed? Will he strangle me back? Just the thought alone made my stomach dip in pleasure, warmth pooling. “There’s no need for that. I don’t mind if there’s another woman. I’m the one getting married to you, so there won’t be a reason for me to get jealous. You know what?”
My fingers stroked his jaw, feeling how strong it was. “Close your eyes and imagine it’s her touch you’re feeling. Imagine it’s her voice you’re hearing.”
I still felt his eyes on me, and there was nothing I wanted more than to see his face. “What? Not going to?”
He grunted, and I only knew he closed his eyes because I couldn’t feel his hot gaze on me anymore.
“Good boy,” I purred, and he shivered. He shivered! That made me pause, trying to think if I imagined it, but nope, he really shivered. But I said nothing about that and just kept touching him, my hand moving to his chest, trailing down between it before they moved to his left pec. I just touched it lightly but then I grabbed it, squeezing it.
We both groaned.

“You should be wearing a bra, marito,” I breathed, squeezing his pec in my hand. He was packed, alright. I would kill to see him naked.
“Shut up,” he groaned.
My finger moved to his nipple, circling it until it grew hard.
“Are you hard down there, Kade?” I whispered, my body growing heated. “Are you thinking of her as I touch you? Thinking it’s her hand on you?”
He said nothing, but the reaction his body was giving me was enough as an answer. My hand moved from his chest and went down, straight down to his dick and I cupped it.
He groaned deeply, the sound so sexy.
“You are,” I breathed. “You’re hard.”
