He shoves me onto the bed, crawling over me to secure my other wrist.
Having only my feet free, I kick and twist, but one by one, he locks me to the frame. I’m now spread eagle across the bed and panting with rage… and an inconvenient desire raging beneath the surface.
“Since you refuse to disclose your whereabouts, whenever you aren’t taking care of Jinx, this will be your fate.” He stands beside the bed, watching me contort myself.
“This isn’t how you treat your daughter’s nanny!”
“It is when my daughter goes into a panic because you aren’t around when she wakes up from a nightmare!”
“Jinx had a bad dream?” I stop fighting, concern for the little girl overriding my anger at Sansone. “Why now? She hasn’t had one in months.”
Could it be that she saw me getting the mask and it brought back memories of the night I rescued her?
“Is she okay now? I need to see her.” I fight my bonds again, this time to assure myself Jinx is fine. “Please, let me see her.”
The icy anger in Sansone’s face thaws but he’s no less resolute. “I calmed her until she fell asleep. But you don’t get to appease your guilty conscience until I release you.” He crawls over me and uses my suspended arm as a pillow before closing his eyes.
“Sansone…” I breathe deeply to moderate my tone since I can’t let him know his proximity is messing with my body. “Why does my punishment require your supervision in my bed?”
He opens one eye to peer at me before saying in a bored voice, “Jailers need to be close to their prisoners.”
“You’re not afraid this will affect my assessment of you?”
He chuckles at the one piece of leverage I have. “How I treat you has nothing to do with my ability to parent.” He rolls over until his body is above mine.
Too close… He’s too close.
Without my say-so, my body revolts. My pussy clenches air in anticipation of something that isn’t going to happen, and my nipples harden in wait for the barest touch from him.
“If you’re honest with yourself, you know that when I fuck you and erase those men you were with tonight from your memory, staying by my side will become your priority.”
He smiles when my nostrils flare.
Does he know it’s not from anger but a mixture of fear and temptation he may be right?
God help me because, although I’ve overcome a lot in my life, I don’t know if I can survive Sansone DeLuca. And although I understand the danger, the devil in me keeps whispering, how much damage can he do in a month?
CHAPTER 13
Sansone
Baldwin Academy is a private pre-K to twelfth-grade school with a reputation for excellence. Although not ideal students, Valentino and I attended, and I want my daughter to benefit from the school’s name and resources. As with many institutions with blue pedigrees, Baldwin will sell their souls to increase their endowment. And today, I’m the buyer.
The head of school, Dr. Jakob, usually a busy man, comes rushing to meet us, although we don’t have an appointment. While we tour the campus, my mind wanders back to the few minutes of bliss I had this morning. It was almost enough to make me forget my anger at Zakiya’s nerve. Why would she flaunt that she fucked three guys when I was right there?
My blood boils with affront, but I remind myself of the steps I’ve taken to ensure that shit doesn’t happen again. The most entertaining moment was after I released her and she attempted to slug me.
Before her fist connected, I intercepted the punch and folded her arm behind her, bringing her body flush to mine. Her soft curves cushioned me in a way I wanted to explore with fewer clothes on. Since I could afford to be patient, I leaned down towhisper in her ear, “I don’t mind your violent tendencies, but you’ll pay a price. Any time you try to hit me, I’ll extract a kiss as punishment.” I release her to watch as she fights her desire. “Consider this your only warning.”
Anticipation licks at my skin at the memory. She won’t be able to help herself, and I can’t wait for the moment she lashes out at me and I take those lips that have haunted me since we first met. My punishment will not be gentle or sweet. Not when she’s given what belongs to me to others.
We return to Dr. Jakob’s office and sit in front of his desk. Although I listen with half an ear as Zakiya drills him on their staffing for special cases like Jinx, I study Zakiya’s facial expressions. Now that she doesn’t hide her face with oversized sunglasses, something else compels me to scrutinize her. A suspicion grows, but now’s not the time to explore. The longer I’m in her presence the more my curiosity about her reasons for choosing the plainest way to present herself grows. Also, the desire to finally uncover what she’s hiding.
Despite being in a meeting where Jinx and a stranger can see me, I let my imagination run wild. I don’t hide my lustful gaze as I watch Zakiya advocate for my daughter. Something as simple as ensuring Jinx gets adequate support shouldn’t make me want to lay her out and explore every bit of skin she hides with her clothes. To see the full expanse of her beautiful mahogany complexion is at the top of my list of things I need to experience in this lifetime. I harden at the prospect and I lick my lips while imagining her taste.
The head of the school clears his throat, but I’m too busy stripping Zakiya in my head to care what he’s saying.
“Mr. DeLuca!” the head of the school exclaims, causing me to jolt out of the fantasy I was only now beginning to enjoy.
