Chapter 13

Giovanni

I was already pissed about the bastard I had locked down in my basement. He'd crossed me and been working for Evan. He'd fed Evan information and that's when he followed Selina home and attacked her. I get home expecting to find Rose in my bed like I ordered her to, but she wasn't. I would have to show her what happened to bad girls who disobeyed.

I folded my belt in half and smacked it against my palm. I smiled to myself watching her body jerk at the sound of the leather hitting my hand. The spanking wouldn't be the real punishment. My cock strained against my zipper as I watched her shiver, chill bumps spreading on her back. She didn't know when I would begin, and that's how I liked it. It's all about the element of surprise.

Making her wait was the worst kind of torture I could give her. I wanted to strike when she the least suspects it. That's when the suspense builds up and tears at your soul.

She turned to look at me, but I cracked the leather on the soft skin of her back. “Did I say you could fucking move?”

She let out a cry and whimpered. “N-no, sir.”

I pulled my arm back and struck her cheeks. A red mark began to form on her ass making me twitch at her muffled scream. “Count for me.”

“One, thank you sir.” Her thighs were already quivering, and I was only at one. The fun had only just begun.

Her body called to me—to own her and possess her.

And I would.

I struck her again, but this time harder than before. She writhed and screamed into the pillow arching her back. “Two, thank you sir.”

My eyes traveled down to her thighs making my cock throb harder. I could see a trail of wetness traveling down the inside of her thigh. My little flower was on fire with desire. I massaged her ass and struck her again. She rocked her hips moaning out. “Oh! Three, thank you sir.”

“Are you going to be my good girl?” I brought the leather down on her ass so hard, it echoed off the walls.

“Y-yes, sir. Four, thank you sir.” She was on edge and could barely speak.

With the final smack against her ass, she screamed out in pain. “F-five, thank you sir.”

I placed the belt on the bed and picked up a bottle of cream. I squeezed a portion in the palm of my hand and leaned over her body. “You look so beautiful like this, marked by me. Now, I'm going to apply some cream to your ass.”

I rubbed my hands together and massaged it into her reddened cheeks. I could hear her crying when my hands came in contact with her skin. “Shh sweetheart, let me take care of you.”

She was perfect in every way. The way she took her punishment like a good girl. It's as if she was a natural at being submissive to me. She was made for me and all fucking mine. I stripped my shirt off and pulled her into my chest. Tears streamed down her face as her bottom lip quivered. “I-I'm sorry.”

I cupped her face, wiping her tears. “It's over now. Since you took it so good, I'm going to reward you. Would my little flower like that?”

“Please sir, I'll be your good girl. I need you so bad right now.” I loved hearing her beg me. That word sir and please was making me painfully hard.

“Tell me what you want. I want to know what you desire from me.” I knew what I wanted to do, but this wasn't about me right now. It was all about her needs and I would gladly give it to her.

She blushed as she looked into my eyes and bit her lip. “I-I want you to fuck me.”

Fuck me, she was literally killing me.

I fumbled with my pants freeing my cock. I pumped myself and rolled her on her back. “Open up for me and let me in. The big bad wolf wants to come inside.”

Pressing the tip to her slit, I slid between the lips and slid inside. I wrapped her legs around my waist and steadied myself. I untied her wrists throwing my tie to the floor and thrust deeper. “Touch me, I need to feel your hands on me.”

“Giovanni, your cock feels so good inside me.” She moaned running her fingers down my chest. My nipples hardened when her nails brushed against them.

I crushed my lips against hers claiming her mouth. Just like I was doing to her body. Her nails dug into my back and scraped downwards. It just drove me to thrust deeper inside and bury my head in her neck. I grunted out her name feeling my release coming soon. “Rose, come with me.”

Her thighs tightened around me and threw her head back and forth. “Yes, fuck.”

I collapsed and pulled out of her rolling off her body. I pulled her by the waist pressing my chest to her back. I kissed the side of her head and whispered to her. “Go to sleep.”

I left her in the bed after she fell asleep to sneak downstairs. I stepped into my office and poured me a drink. Sitting at my desk, Luca stood there with his arms crossed over his chest. By the smug look on his face, I could tell he heard everything that happened behind the closed doors of my bedroom.

Good.

That's what I wanted.

Any man that even so much as looked at Rose after seeing my name on that collar would pay severely. I would be the only one that touched her. She belonged to me now.

I took a sip of my whiskey and raised my eyebrows. “Well, did you get anything out of him?”

“Still not talking—says he doesn’t know Evan.”

“Then give him a little persuasion. He'll crack eventually.” I turned in my chair forgetting the marks Rose left on my back.

“I knew it! You're banging her. I should've known when I seen that collar around her neck. Did you even tell her where the diamonds came from?”

“No,” I hissed. “And you're not to tell her.”

He laughed nervously, “About that, I may have mentioned something about that. I thought you had already told her.”

Fuck me.

First, he mentions Caterina's mother and now this.

“Jesus, can you just leave, so I can fix this. Wait, what did she say?”

“Nothing really. She just seemed surprised and extremely confused.”

I crept back in my room and slipped in next to her. I brushed the hair out of her face and stroked her cheek. “What is happening to me?”

She stirred feelings deep within my soul. Emotions I claimed to never feel again. Not after I lost Caterina's mother to this corrupted world. I've tried to fight the urges with Rose, but lost that battle once I laid eyes on her. I closed my eyes and held her in my arms. Now that I've had her, there's no way in hell I was letting her go.

She was mine.
