I've made a conscious choice not to ever put a woman in that same position. I avoid them, plain and simple. I won't have the blood of one on my hands. End of story.
But there's something about this woman…
Dio. This is madness.
"Mattia Agostino," I introduce myself, my tone soft in contrast to the thundering beat of my heart. "What's your name, cara mia?"
"Aurelia R-Roscoe."
Aurelia Roscoe.
Jesus. She really is Tabitha Roscoe's daughter.
"Do you know who I am?"
She licks her lips and nods. "You work for Rafe Valentino."
"Yes. Your brother. I'm here to take you home."
Fear flickers across her face before she steels herself, sitting up straighter as she turns to face me fully.
"No." Her voice shakes. "You need to leave. Now."
Cazzo.
She's going to fight me. Of course, she's going to fight me.
Her resistance only makes me harder.
"I can't do that, cara mia. Not before I get you to safety."
"I'm not going anywhere with you."
Her defiance amuses me. She's a frightened little mouse, but she isn't timid. She's feisty, with a fire in those ocean-blue eyes that could rival the depths of hell. She doesn't deny that Rafe is her brother, though. She knows.
How long has she known?
I'd love to ask her that question, but now isn't the time.
"You aren't safe here, Aurelia. Brio intends to use you to get to your brother. You need to come with me. I can protect you."
"Why should I believe you?" she spits the question at me like venom.
Because I'm the monster who'll keep you safe from every other monster in this city.
I don't voice that thought out loud. Instead, I step closer, slowly, careful not to spook her even while enjoying the way her pulse hammers in her throat.
Would it react the same way if I wrapped my hand around her throat and squeezed while I fucked her? Would she come all over me?
A shout downstairs distracts her momentarily, pulling her attention from me.
I lunge forward, clamping a hand over her mouth before she can scream.
She goes rigid, fighting like a little hellcat as I haul her into my arms. She kicks and scratches, trying to bite my hand as she struggles to free herself. It's no use, though. I'm a helluva lot bigger than she is, and she's right where I want her.
The way she struggles shouldn't excite me, but it does. I want her to fight the same way while I'm balls deep inside of her.
"Relax," I command roughly, holding her close to my chest. "I'm not going to hurt you, cara mia."
