Six
Alessia wiggled her nose. When that didn’t eliminate whatever tickled her, she lifted her hand and rubbed her finger under her nostrils. Whiskers. She blinked, turning her head slightly, and found herself staring into captivating green eyes. She’d snuggled her face next to his. “Titus.”
“Daddy,” he reminded her.
“Did I fall asleep?” she asked.
“Yes, Little mate. I think you’ve finally run out of questions.”
Alessia remembered assuring him she had nothing else to ask him at least six times. Something else would pop into her mind a bit later. “Is it morning?”
“You got a few hours of sleep, Alessia. You need more. How about if I put you to bed?”
“You held me all night? You could have plopped me on the couch and gone on to bed. I bet your arms are asleep,” she said, pushing herself away from his chest, embarrassed that she’d imposed so much on him.
“I was exactly where I wanted to be.”
Titus kissed her forehead tenderly. He didn’t seem annoyed, but more delighted to hold her. Before she could say anything else, he stood and carried her out of the room. He had passed the staircase before she asked, “Can I get my duffel?”
“Hopper is waiting for you in our room. Gio carried your bag up before he retired.”
Instantly, Alessia was fully awake. She stared at him in disbelief. “He didn’t go through my things, did he?” Embarrassment blended with anger that someone had touched her stuff. She didn’t have much—just Hopper and some clothes—but no one needed to rifle through them.
“Gio did not unzip your bag. He will wait for you to give him permission to take care of your clothing.”
“Oh. Sorry.” Her anger dissolved as fast as it had appeared.
“You have no reason to trust me yet, other than this attraction between us. Hopefully, you will learn I am here to ensure your safety and happiness,” Titus said softly. He was walking toward the east wing of the house.
Instantly, remorse crashed over her. He was right. “No one is in my corner, Titus. I’ve not had a single person who has my best interests at heart for a long time.”
“That changed when you crawled over the bar and into my arms.” At closed doorway, Titus bent his head to press a light kiss on her lips. Instant heat flared between them, taking her breath away and sending a shockwave of arousal through her.
“I don’t understand this.”
“Do you need to, Little mate? Why question the pleasure you experience?”
She stared at him as her mind processed his statement. Why was she resisting? She threaded a hand through his thick, dark hair and pulled his mouth to hers. The instant they touched, she craved more.
Alessia squirmed against him, trying to get as close as possible.
Without interrupting their kiss, Titus rotated her body so her torso pressed to his with her legs wrapped around his waist. This time instead of his fingers playing between her thighs, he tugged her hard to his pelvis, pressing her back against the wall.
His rigid cock glided along the seam of her pussy.
She couldn’t mistake his arousal or his generous size. Damn!
Tentatively, she rubbed her pussy along his length.
Alessia moaned into his mouth as she reacted to the intimate caress.
Titus flexed his hips, pressing firmly against her.
He stroked one hand down her spine to cup her bottom.
Holding her in place, he coordinated their grinding movements together, sending delicious sensations through her.
Her panties soaked through with her arousal.
“Your scent is intoxicating, Little mate,” he growled.
Alessia didn’t understand how his touch and kisses made her feel so much. Perhaps the mate bond affected how turned on she was. She pushed that from her mind to focus on the heat building inside her. Her desire demanded satisfaction. “Titus, please,” she whispered.
She wanted more. She needed him.
“Daddy,” he demanded in that rough tone that sent shivers through her.
“Daddy,” she repeated, “Make love to me.”
Her head spun slightly as he opened the door and carried her into a large bedroom.
The click of the lock behind her told Alessia that Titus had ensured their privacy as he settled her against the heavy barrier.
As her feet sank into the thick carpet, he held her caged to the dark wooden door as he kissed her fiercely, not holding back his passion.
Alessia matched that avalanche of desire, revealing how much she wanted him as well.
Titus feverishly unfastened her pants and shoved his hand into her panties.
He groaned at her wetness as he explored her pink folds.
Shivers of delight sizzled through her as she widened her feet to grant him freer access.
So good! Alessia rose to her tiptoes, pressing her pussy into his fingers.
Titus drove a finger into her tight channel, drawing a moan of excitement from each of them.
Needing to touch him, Alessia stroked her hands over his torso. Titus was chiseled with muscles. She slid her fingers under his shirt and pushed the material up as she traced the powerful grooves on his abdomen.
Ripping his mouth from hers, Titus reached over his head and yanked his shirt off. Immediately, she explored his chest. Her fingers slid over a long, dangerous scar on his torso. Sad for the pain he must have suffered, Alessia leaned down to press her lips to the old wound.
“You have on way too many clothes, Little mate.” His gruff voice revealed his passion, thrilling Alessia.
She reached for the hem of her sweatshirt to get rid of that garment, but he tugged her fingers away. Meeting her gaze directly, Titus said, “Daddy’s job.”
His words sent a thrill through her. Alessia wondered if spontaneous combustion was actually a thing as the heat inside her flamed hotter.
She lifted her arms as he whisked the warm garment from her along with her T-shirt.
His gaze focused on her small breasts in the lacy bra she had chosen.
Alessia inhaled as she thrust her shoulders back, hoping to enhance her meager curves.
“You bewitch me, Alessia.” He glided a finger across the decorative edge to the center clasp between her breasts. Titus popped that open and glided the shoulder straps off her arms as he focused intently on the display in front of him.
“Fuck, Little mate. I may never unlock that door again,” he threatened and roughly unfastened his pants as if his cock were strangled inside the tight denim material.
He wrapped his hands around her rib cage and lifted her feet high off the ground, putting her breasts at his eye level.
She grabbed at his shoulders to steady herself before realizing he supported her completely.
Leaning forward, he wrapped his lips around her nipple and sucked the peak firmly into his mouth.
Her head lolled back, knocking into the wood as he thrashed his tongue over her sensitive flesh.
Her fingers tightened on his powerful muscles as her heart beat faster.
“Titus!”
“Daddy,” he reminded her roughly and nipped at her to underline his request.
“Daddy!” she yelped.
He released her breast with a pop of suction and lowered her, so they were eye to eye once again. Titus gave her a look that sizzled her to the core. His green eyes, dark with desire and want, seemed to see right through her. “I need you naked now, Little mate.”
She nodded eagerly. Alessia didn’t allow herself to hope for this to last. No one ever risked or survived her family for that long. She wouldn’t, however, miss this chance for today with Titus.
“I need you, Daddy.”
He shook his head once, as if struggling for control before meeting her gaze. “I’ll never let you go, Alessia, if I make you mine. Do you understand?”
“I’ll stay with you as long as you want me, Daddy,” she promised.
“Forever, Little mate. I want you for an eternity.”
She wanted to trust him with every fiber of her being.
Could he really be willing to stand up to her family?
Unable to trust herself not to say too much about the future, Alessia nodded, accepting his demand.
She wouldn’t hold him to the declaration made in the heat of passion.
He didn’t understand how powerful Enzo was yet.
“Stop thinking, Alessia.”
Her eyes stared into his green gaze now darkened with passion. “Yes, Daddy.”
He eased her back to her feet. Alessia leaned against the door for support as he stepped slightly away.
Holding her gaze, Titus dropped to his knees before her.
He pressed kisses along her torso as his fingers quickly dealt with her jeans.
After pushing them down her legs, Titus tapped one toe and then the other to signal her to lift her feet one at a time.
As she followed his silent directions, he shucked off her shoes and pants.
Dressed only in skimpy lace panties, Alessia shivered as he scanned her hungrily. He leaned forward to press his nose to her mound and inhaled deeply. Her body responded with a gush of juices, since she was turned on by his obvious attraction.
“I’ll buy you a million scraps of lace to replace this one,” he promised and ripped the delicate underwear from her.
Alessia would let him destroy everything she had if he’d relieve the need building to a critical level inside her. “Please,” she whispered.
Titus rose to his feet and pushed his jeans to mid-thigh. As she stared in disbelief at his thick erection, Titus encircled her waist with one powerful arm to lift her. He pressed her to the door and urged, “Wrap your legs around me, Alessia.”
Without hesitating, she followed his demand. He fit the broad head of his cock against her and thrust inside, filling her completely and stroking over sensitive places she’d never experienced before. Alessia panted slightly, trying to regain her breath. He didn’t give her a second to recover.
Titus withdrew and pressed inside again. Going slowly now, Titus drew her attention to every thrilling sensation as he stretched her tightness for a second time. Alessia tightened her fingers on his shoulders as her eyes closed to concentrate on the pleasure he provoked.
“You feel so good, Alessia. I could get lost inside your sweet pussy.”
She nodded. He rewarded her by cupping her breast and rubbing his thumb across her nipple.
A whisper escaped from her lips as she arched her chest, sounding almost like a purr.
With the tip of his tongue, he traced the pulse beating along the side of her throat as he rolled his hips against her, pushing her arousal higher.
He nipped at her lightly, not breaking the skin but reminding her of his predatory nature. Alessia squeezed her inner muscles around him. His groan made her repeat the motion.
“Naughty Little mates get spanked,” he growled, grinding his hips at the end of his strokes and setting off a flurry of thrilling sensations inside as he pressed directly against her clit.
She tensed around him on a hairline trigger.
Holding her breath, she was afraid to move and lose the promise of pleasure that lurked so close.
“Like that idea, do you?” he teased. “Soon, Alessia.”
That threat pushed her over the cliff into a massive climax. She clung to him rocking and bouncing herself against him. The low sound that emerged from his lips as she spasmed around him made her feel powerful and desirable.
Titus wasn’t silent like her other lovers had been. He shared his pleasure with her in sounds and words. Each bit of praise and encouragement assured her he enjoyed this as much as she did. Encouraged to be brave by his response, she daringly whispered, “Daddy, more. I won’t break.”
“Fuck!” Titus bit that sensitive place where her neck and shoulder intersected. That sting of pain launched a delicious burst of delight inside her that pushed Alessia immediately into a second climax.
His thrusts quickened, driving her pleasure higher with each stroke.
A repeated banging sound registered, but Alessia couldn’t concentrate on anything except the magnetic man she clung to.
He sucked on her neck, sending electric pulses of pleasure through her.
Alessia came over and over in his arms until her mind blocked everything out except for the exquisite delight he lavished on her.
With a roar, Titus emptied himself into her pulsing channel.
His tongue soothed over her skin, and Alessia came apart again in his arms. She slumped against him.
Her senses overloaded with that last climax, and she became completely boneless in his embrace.
Titus rested his forehead against hers, breathing hard.
“I’m never letting you go, Alessia. You are mine!”
“Yes, Daddy,” she whispered. Darkness wrapped around Alessia as Titus held her securely to him. Confident of her safety for the first time in years, she abandoned herself to sleep.
