"You'll need to, at least until it's safe. I can’t think of kids right now,” I insist. A part of me regrets I made him pull out in the first place, but I know my father would take his wrath out on my child if he discovered I was pregnant.
“Like I said, we go as soon as they open because I'm not pulling out again,” he counters stubbornly. “I want deep inside of you as your pussy drains me.”
I sigh despite his crooked smile.
I get this excited twinge in my belly as he talks about being inside me. “If I agree to that, will you give up trying to force me into marriage?” I bargain, quirking my eyebrow as I stare him down, pulling the towel off my head and scrunching out the damp strands. I'm hoping he will take the offer and at least work with me.
“No, that's already done. We will be married tomorrow,” he announces, ending my hopes. He basically leaves no room for discussion, but that doesn't stop me from trying.
“No, we won't,” I insist. In return, Antonio pretends not to hear my denial and kisses my forehead.
“I need another one of your shirts,” I tell him. Sleeping naked won't bode well for any plans of actual sleep. “I hope Marco brings my clothes tomorrow.”
Antonio takes the towel and again dries off parts of me that I'm sure were dry—but he seems to be making other parts very wet. Damn it. I know he's finding reasons to touch me. I can't say I dislike it, but I know where this leads and what he’s trying to do.
Sadly, it’s working.
“You seem to care for your brother. Are you close to the others?”
“No. I never have been with any of them. Although of all my brothers, I like Marco the best,” I confess. “My father never wanted a daughter. I was a disappointment, not worth his time, for that matter. Yet, Marco checked on me and tried to help when he could. Honestly, he's risking death to help me escape my father now.”
He tosses the towel aside, picking me up as he stands. A squeal of surprise bursts from my lips as Antonio cradles me with one arm around my back and another tucked under my legs.
“What are you doing?” I ask, wrapping my arms around his neck.
“Carrying you to bed.”
“I am quite capable of walking,” I insist.
“Lina, I've wanted you in my bed for a long time. Now that I have you back, you'll have to give me this,” he grumbles intently before putting me down gently on the covers.
“Can you get me one of your shirts?” I ask again. It’s unnerving to sit here fully naked while we talk.
“No. I want us skin against skin," he says. The way his voice pitches low and gravely makes his words sound like a sexy threat. Visions of the way he took me earlier flash through my mind.
“That’s not exactly safe,” I point out shaking my head. “You didn’t even wait for me to wake up the last time, Antonio.”
"Are you complaining?" he asks, quirking his eyebrow at me as he levels me with his stare. His eyes promising my answer determines what comes next.
Do I dare poke the bear and lie? No. I don’t want to lie to him.
“No, I loved it. You know I did.”
“Fucking—”
“But it can't happen unless you agree to wear a condom.”
He glares at me, telling me exactly how he feels about that.
I bite my lip to keep from laughing even though he's got a mean glare that I wouldn't want to get from anyone else. I know he’d never hurt me, though. That’s exactly why I smile.
“I will need a shirt and my underwear, Antonio.”
“Not possible, sweetheart. I ripped your underwear. Plus, I want to hold your breasts in my hands while we sleep.”
“Damn it, Antonio…”
“Don’t worry. When your body gets my cock so hard I need release, I'll let you suck me off instead,” he bargains as if making a great deal.
“That's awfully magnanimous of you,” I laugh.
“Woman, I’ll have you know that it’s a great sacrifice. Your pussy should be made of gold with a shrine for me to worship on.”
“Oh God, you’re horrible,” I giggle.
“Once you get back on birth control, you will have to make it up to me.”
Rolling my eyes, I lift myself up so I can pull the covers out from under me. “You're crazy.”
I pull the sheets and things over me, snuggling down into them, as I settle my head on the pillow. He wastes no time, climbing into bed, snuggling beside me, and molding his body against the back of mine.
I close my eyes, letting out a heavy sigh. “I’ve missed you, Antonio.”
“You belong in my arms, Lina.”
A smile plays on my lips, my eyes still closed. “I want to believe you.”
