“I know, Salvatore.”
“You know?” A bitter laugh crawled up his throat. “You know what I felt when I got a phone call from the man in charge of protecting you to let me know you were hurt. When I had to hear that you had to fight a piece of shit and break his nose to get away. When Yannis told me that another man wanted to take you with force? You fucking know all of that, Grazia?”
His words hit like shards of glass, but I didn’t let the pain shake me.
My legs took charge and I ran the short distance across the room, jumping in my husband’s arms and he caught me, holding me close to his chest. I could feel him shaking, so I wrapped my arms around him and held him tight.
“I know you’re angry and you have every right, but please, Sasa, yell at me tomorrow. Tonight, I need you to love me.” His hand moved to my hair and he stroked me slowly. “Make love to me.”
“Grazi, you’re shaken up.”
“Nothing happened. He didn’t… he didn’t even kiss me, but he pressed his body against mine and he touched me on… on my leg. No one has ever… no one but you.”
“I know.”
“No, you don’t understand. I want it to be just you! Make love to me and wash that touch away. Sasa, please.”
“You don’t have to beg me,Tesoro.” With his hands fixed on my hips, he lifted me so I could wrap myself around him. “You never have to beg for me to love you.”
He walked me to the bed and threw his body over mine. I embraced the feeling of his weight pushing against me and the shape of his toned muscles. My husband was a beast and he made me feel protected. Ever since I could remember, he was always there looking over me. It was why I loved him so fiercely.
His kiss came down on me like raining fire, igniting my senses. With my mouth wide open, I explored his tongue and welcomed him to taste mine. It’s been so long since he touched me last and I got to taste his manly essence. I felt starved and desperate to get as much of him as I could.
We both ran out of air and Salvatore broke the kiss, making me release a weak howl.
“What is it, Grazi?”
“I missed you, that’s all. I want to feel your skin.”
Complying with my silent plea, Salvatore rushed to throw away all his clothes and sit gloriously naked above me. He removed my clothing too and when he returned to the bed, I pressed myself against him, getting high on that feeling of having Sasa all over me.
“Please never do that again.” I whispered, biting back tears.
“Grazi, look at me.” He didn’t wait for me to do it and grabbed my jaw to turn my face toward him. “Do what?”
“Don’t ignore me again.”
“I can’t ignore you. You’re all I see all the time.”
“You didn’t speak to me for two weeks. You didn’t touch me.”
“I was mad.” His nose nested in my hair. “I didn’t want to put my hands on you in anger.”
“Just don’t do it again. It was horrible.”
“For me too. You think I liked pushing my wife way? No, but you just… you keep leaving and sometimes I have to let you go and it’s killing me.” There was a shadow of pain in his words and I felt it in my heart. “I don’t want to kill your dreams, but your dreams are killing me.”
“What?”
“All I could think for two weeks was what’s going to happen when you join the Scala for good, or when people are going to ask for you all over the world. You’re not just a ballerina, Grazia, you dance like an angel. People will sit in line to come worship at your feet and I don’t know how to share you with the world.”
“Oh, my dear,” I took his face in my hands gently, “I’m all yours. I’ll always be just yours.”
The green eyes I loved so much darkened deeply. “Someone tried to take you away from me today.”
“Wash him away. Wash his hands away with yours. Please.”
“Where?”
