Then, I pressed my lips to her ear. “You’ve been a very, very bad girl. And you need to be reminded of where your allegiance lies.”
She let out a shuttering breath. “You. It will always lie with you.”
I wrapped my hand around her throat. “Time to prove it, then.”
She squealed as I tossed her onto my bed, then quickly harnessed her legs and ankles to it. I watched her skin flush as she tugged at her restraints, but it was the widening of her eyes that caused me to place a calm hand against her bare calf.
“Char,” I said.
Her fearful eyes met mine. “Please, don’t hurt me.”
I concealed my anger toward Lorenzo well enough. “Char, it’s just me. Are you listening?”
She blinked, and her eyes seemed to clear. “Hey. Yes. I am.”
I cocked my head. “If this gets too intense—or you need a breather—just say so.”
She nodded quickly. “Yeah, yeah. I can do that.”
I slid my hand away from her skin. “Now, where were we?”
I didn’t like how she flinched. I didn’t like how scared she looked. I loosened the binds around her wrists and ankles a bit, and I watched her release a breath that she had been holding. Lorenzo would get what was coming to him. He’d pay for what he had done to my precious, beautiful Char.
After I was done worshipping her.
I watched as he eyed me carefully, his stare raking over my body. And while a big part of me was still fearful this would get bad very quickly, the way he smirked proved otherwise. He shed his clothes for me and let my eyes linger against his naked form, my eyes beholding the beautifully-etched muscles that wrapped around his solid bones. His broad shoulders tapered into chiseled arms as his waist tapered into a pair of hips I wanted to mark with my own teeth. The veins in his forearms and thighs bulged, teasing my tongue as I licked my lips. I’d never beheld the sight of a man so beautiful, so luscious that all I wanted to do was spread my legs and let him have me.
I felt my panties wetting as he placed a knee on the bed.
“I can already smell you, Char, eager and desperate to be filled.”
I nodded my head quickly. “Yes. Yes that’s—exactly how I feel.”
He smacked the inside of my thigh. “You don’t make the rules. I do. Got it?”
His eyes danced between mine and I nodded. “Got it.”
“Good. Now, stay as still as you can and don’t make a sound. Otherwise, I might just have to blindfold you for it.”
His hand crept up my leg and I curled my lips over my teeth. His fingertips fiddled with my drenched panties, and I bucked against his hand. He paused his movements and my nipples puckered in anticipation for what was to come.
Then, he dipped his fingers beyond my panties and parted my folds.
“Oh, shit,” I whispered.
He paused his movements and smacked my thigh again. “Seems like someone can’t even follow simple directions.”
My eyes flew open. “Please, don’t stop. Teo, please, I’ve dreamt of you for so long, and I just--.”
He pushed himself off the bed and stormed toward his wall. I craned my neck to try and see what he was doing, but it was too dark over in the corner to make out his movements. When he emerged, though, electricity shot through my gut.
In his hands were a blindfold, a ball gag, and a clit stimulator.
My body began shivering as he tied the blindfold behind my head. He placed the ball gag into my mouth and I was already drooling on myself before he even got it tightened. I felt his cheeky grin and the way his eyes ran along my body, probably surveying the work he had just finished. And in that moment, I wanted nothing more than to kiss him.
But instead, he gave me something much, much more precious.
“Char, I have something I want to say to you, and I want you answer honestly. It’s only ‘yes’ or ‘no’, but take your time choosing.”
I nodded, but I couldn’t speak for obvious reasons.
“I want to make you a promise. No, a vow. I want to make you a vow I promise to uphold with everything I have and everything in my power. But, it requires a vow from you, too.”
I nodded again to let him know I was listening.
“I will always keep you safe, Char. I will always come after you. No matter where you are, no matter who has you, and no matter what life you choose, I will always be there to make sure you have everything you could possibly need. Money. Safety. Food. Reassurance. Whatever it is you need, I will always be there to provide.”
I waited on baited breath for my part of the deal. Then, his lips fell to the shell of my ear.
“So long as you vow to always serve me, to always stand at my side, and to always see me as the man I am rather than the monster people paint me to be.”
I wanted more than anything to say the words. To look into his eyes and have him see the sincerity of my promise to him. But instead, I nodded my head as vigorously as I could. I continued nodding, and nodding, and nodding some more, until he chuckled and kissed my forehead.
“Good woman. You’re a good fucking woman, Char.”
Tears of joy and happiness crested my eyes as his lips slid down my cheek. Down my neck. I felt his lips nibble at my pulse point and it caused me to moan against the ball gag. I bucked my hips as his hand traveled down my stomach. He slid his fingertips beneath the hem of my shirt, teasing my skin and pushing goosebumps across the entirety of my body.
I’d never felt more alive than in that moment, with Teo in command and our vow bonding us for life.
I felt the bed shifting before my legs were thrust into the air. I gasped as spittle spilled down the corner of my mouth, making its way for my neck. I heard Teo growl before my panties were ripped away from my body in a cacophony of pain and pleasure that tugged at my gut.
Then, I felt his cock pressing against my entrance.
“Sweet fuck, I’m so glad to have you home,” he growled.
The second he filled me to the brim, my tears unleashed. I cried tears of happiness and tugged at my restraints as my back arched with every wave of pleasure that crashed over me. His dick felt outstanding. Hearing his sounds once more reminded me of the light at the end of the tunnel that I had finally reached.
But when I heard that buzzing, my movements stopped.
“Teo?” I asked through the ball gag.
He chuckled. “You sound so cute when you can’t talk.”
He pressed the vibrating apparatus against my swollen clit and I bucked ravenously against his cock. He wasn’t even moving, I was literally fucking myself with his cock as he continued to chuckle and watch me go. I felt my tits bouncing for his viewing pleasure. I felt my orgasm quickly mounting. And when my back arched, I prepared myself to fall over the edge.
Before the vibrations ceased.
“No, no, no, no, no,” I whispered.
He snorted. “Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. You’ve been a bad girl, Char. And for that, you will be punished accordingly, and thoroughly.”
He tossed my legs over his shoulders and bent me in half, so much so that he spanked my ass cheek as it rose into the air. He plowed into me, his headboard bashing against the wall while I moaned like a maniac. My neck was covered in spit. My eyes rolled back so much that it gave me a headache. And as I approached my second end, I felt him slowing his movements.
“Damn it!” I yelled through the ball gag.
He kissed my cheek. “Such a mess for me, you are. But, I’m nowhere near done with you yet.”
He twisted me into every position and removed my binds just to bend me over the edge of the bed. And every time I grew close to my end, he backed off. He chained my arms above my head and teased my tits with his tongue. His fingers filled me, stroking my swollen nub that I thought would simply burst from the tension.
“Teo, please,” I whimpered.
“I never thought your begging could get any better until I stuck that thing in your mouth.”
Around and around
and around we went, coating his room in our mark. My juices dripped onto his carpet and imprints of my sweaty back plastered itself against the wall whenever he pinned me to it. I rode his cock while he sat in his massive leather chair and I fell to my knees just to lick myself off his balls. He peppered me with kisses and contorted my body in ways that should have hurt but didn’t because of the ecstasy rushing through my veins. The birds outside stopped chirping and the evening quickly descended upon us. And when I finally collapsed against the bed after hours of glorious torture, I couldn’t even close my legs without needing release.
Then, he slid to the floor and parted my legs.
“Teo?” I murmured softly.
He kissed my pussy lips. “I think you have finally earned your ending, hmmm?”
I felt his juices dripping from my entrance as he slid two fingers inside of me. My eyes bulged as he stroked that little pebbled spot, causing my clit to stand on end once more. I growled behind the gag like a wild animal. I bucked ravenously against his face the second his tongue descended against my skin.
And less than a minute later, I soared into the heavens.
With Teo’s muffled name dripping from my sweat-and-spit-soaked lips.

Mateo
Char sighed. “Oh, wow.”
I chuckled as I traced faceless designs around her belly button. “Feeling better?”
She looked over at me. “I’m sorry, Teo.”
My eyes met her. “For?”
Her eyes grew sorrowful. “For not giving you the benefit of the doubt.”
I propped myself up on my elbow. “Not quite what I was gunning for, but I’ll take it.”
She giggled. “And what were you gunning for?”
I crawled on top of her and spread her legs wide open. “Possibly a, ‘I’m so sorry for leaving you for someone else and I swear to never do it again’.”
She slid her hands up my arms. “Don’t keep me locked up as a prisoner and I won’t.”
“And if I free you, only for you to leave?”
“You have to understand that my life is back in the States. And if we stand any chance at taking down my mother, eventually one of us is going to have to go back.”
She had a point. “We’ll talk about it later. Right now, I just want to enjoy you.”
I dipped down to kiss her lips, but what I received in return was a guttural growl. My eyes whipped open and I saw the pain wafting behind her own, so I hopped off the bed. I scrambled to get my pants on before throwing open my bedroom door.
Then, I put my fingers in my mouth and whistled.
“I need a doctor! Now!”
My head of security rushed up the steps. “Got someone calling now, Mr. Emiliano. What else can I do in the meantime?”
Anger surged through my veins. “Have your men prep the apartment upstairs to outfit a hospital room, if necessary.”
He nodded. “On it.”
I peered over my shoulder and saw tears glistening in Char’s eyes. The way she held her head and her stomach worried me beyond belief. And now, more than ever, I wanted Lorenzo’s head on a fucking stake in my front yard. I wanted to burn his entire family to the ground and dance upon their ashes.
So, I strode to my office and started planning.
“Mr. Emiliano?”
My head of security stuck his head in and I didn’t bother looking up. “What?”
“The doc’s here. Want him to take Char up to the apartment?”
I peeked up at him. “Is it ready like I asked?”
“Almost.”
I looked back at my computer. “Have him take her there when the room is ready. And don’t let either of them out of your sight.”
He nodded. “Yes, Mr. Emiliano.”
The first thing I did was make a list of all the threats currently swimming around on my plate. And the biggest one was Rosana. I had to find a way to deal with the fact that she knew way too much about how my empire operated. And now that she was a scorned woman who had been tossed out on her ass, I had to assume that she’d start selling that information for a price.
She could also team up with someone and add her family’s forces to theirs.
I raked my hands through my hair as I leaned back. I knew that killing Rosana would get rid of the threat of her aiding my enemies, but I didn’t want to stoop to that level. And not that I couldn’t take him, but I certainly didn’t want to piss her parents off. I knew they’d understand why I threw her out. After all, it was more accepted for a man to step out of his marriage here on the islands than a woman. That would play in my favor, but not for long.
And it damn sure wouldn’t keep Rosana in check.
“Fuck,” I murmured.
I also had pushback from Ronnie and Lorenzo that I knew was eventually coming. Though, I was shocked I hadn’t already heard from the man. Lorenzo, with his hot-headed ways, should’ve already come after me. So, the fact that he hadn’t already stormed my home the second he found Char missing struck me as odd. Nevertheless, there was a possibility he was planning something big.
So, I had to make sure to prepare for bigger.
“Mr. Emiliano?”
The head of my security knocked on my door and I stood. “Good. I’m glad you’re here. I want to talk about the new guard patterns--.”
“I’m sorry to interrupt, but the doctor wants you upstairs, ASAP.”
He didn’t have to tell me twice for me to start booking it. I climbed the stairs three at a time until I burst through the upstairs door that led into the apartment Char once occupied. And when I rounded into her bedroom and saw her hooked up to I.V.’s with tubes up her nose, I froze.
The doctor came to stand beside me. “I have her knocked out with some pain killers. It’s the least she deserves with the pain she’s in.”
I slowly looked over at him. “What the fuck is going on?”
He sighed. “It didn’t take long for me to realize that she had an unchecked concussion. Her brain has been swollen and pushing against her skull for at least a week. And while the concussion itself has died down, it’s created a cascade of effects she’s going to have to ride out.”
I blinked. “So, you’re telling me there’s nothing you can do for her right now?”
He shrugged. “Except make her comfortable, which I have every intention of doing. See, the cure for a concussion is rest. If it’s really bad, fluid might need to be drained off the brain. But because she didn’t get treatment for it, there’s no telling without an official scan as to how much damage was done.”
“If it makes any difference, we were having sexual relations before I called for you.”
He turned to face me. “I know it’s uncouth, but might I ask you a few questions about her movements and what you did to her? It’ll give me a great idea as to what kind of condition her brain is in.”
I was very uncomfortable with the questions he asked, especially since I was divulging intimate details of Char I wanted no one else to know. In any other situation, the man would’ve already met a fantastically bloodied fate for even asking such a thing.
But, for Char’s health, I’d do anything to make sure she was all right.
The doctor clicked his tongue. “Well, the vigorousness of the sexual activity is probably what prompted the swelling again, which means there are probably a few lesions that have to heal with time.”
“Lesions? Will she have permanent brain damage?”
“Like I said, I’ll have to get my portable machine in here to do a scan. But, I’ll be coming back tomorrow to do it. Right now, I want her to rest.”
I held out my hand. “Thank you, Doc, for coming so quickly.”
He shook it. “You made the right call. But now, it’s simply a waiting game until her body heals. And they all heal at various paces.”
I dropped his hand. “I know when she wakes up she’s going to ask if she can work. Or do something. Or get up.”
He nodded slowly. “I wouldn’t let her
get up without help. If she starts feeling dizzy at all, she needs to get off her feet immediately and stay off them. I don’t see any issue with work, if her work isn’t physically vigorous.”
“She’s an attorney.”
“Ah, well in that case, she can work unless—again—she’s feeling dizzy.”
I patted his shoulder. “I’ll let her know, thank you.”
“Mr. Emiliano, I know a man of your stature doesn’t always enjoy being told what to do, but I think it’s pretty obvious that rigorous sex is out of the question until her brain can heal.”
“I don’t want to do anything that puts her in jeopardy, period.”
He smiled kindly. “Good. Make sure she listens to her body. If she’s one to push herself? Make sure you’re paying attention to her and make her get off her feet if you feel she’s getting sick but doesn’t want to say anything.”
I looked back at Char. “How long will she be out?”
He started packing up his things. “Probably until this evening. She should be up in time for a 6:00PM dinner, but if she’s not up by then, let her rest. She needs it.”
After escorting the doctor out my front door, I turned my eyes to the ceiling. The idea of working this evening while she was here, all drugged up and in pain, killed me inside. But, it had to happen. I pulled out my phone and sent off a quick text message, making sure the plan formulating in my head for tonight would work.
And after I got the ‘okay’, I started getting ready.
Time to put this all to bed indefinitely.
When I opened my eyes I found myself in a familiar room, but I heard foreign beeping sounds all around me. I turned my head and a blinding pain shot down my neck, causing me to pause in my tracks.
And when I groaned, I felt the bed to my left dip.
“Char, can you hear me?”
Teo’s voice tugged a grin across my cheeks. “Hiya, handsome.”
He chuckled. “How are you feeling?”
I yawned. “Tired. And my neck hurts.”
“Do you know where you are?”
