going to come with you,” I warned and grounded my hips against her, the wet sounds of our joined bodies loud in the cocooned bed. “Deep inside you, so you’re entirely filled up with my cum, and when you face the Council, it will drip down your thighs.”

“Oh my God,” she cried out, so loud, the soft sound of the escorts pleasing the councilmen paused for a brief second. Lily’s eyes squeezed shut. She clutched me to her and convulsed with the violence of her second orgasm. “Please, I need to feel you cum inside me.”

I was a goner the second those breathy words left her lips. The base of my spine tightened. With a roar like a conquering heathen, I planted myself to the root inside her and came.

Again, our climaxes were met with leering calls and applause from the old men gathered around the bed, ruining the bliss of our post-coital glow.

“Come, child,” Paolo Vitali called from beyond the veil. “Present to us your bedclothes and the evidence of your union.”

Lily bit her lip, her eyes wide with panic. I brushed my hand over her forehead into her hair and anchored her with a sharp tug.

“You’re fine, my poisonous Lily,” I murmured against her lips. “There’s blood to show, and no one will be any the wiser. They’ll leave the room after you’ve shown them what they want to see.”

“The wrong man is in my bed,” she hissed, careful to keep her voice low.

I cocked my head, studying the sweet blush in her cheeks, loving the way she still clung to me even after our fuck. “Maybe, but I think the right man is in your heart. If you want a different kind of life than the one your father has bought you, you’ll go on your honeymoon as planned. I will find a way to meet you there.”

“Are you serious?” she gasped. “There’s no way.”

“You let me worry about that,” I ordered, punctuating my words with a hard kiss before I rolled off her and started to strip the sheets off the bed. “Now get your sweet naked ass out there. The pervy old guys want to see my cum and your blood on your pretty thighs.”

She hesitated for only a moment before collecting the sheets. A thin layer of sweat and lust coated her naked body.

Before parting the veil, she paused to look over her shoulder at me and whisper, “If this is the last thing I do, I’m glad it was with you.”

And then she slid out from the curtains, naked and beautiful and mine.

A moment later, a raucous cheer erupted from the men, and I knew it was done.

Liliana was saved from death and disgrace.

Now, I had to make sure I would be, too.

CHAPTER TEN

Lily

I’d never been inside the High Council’s chambers, but the fact that I still had Frankie’s cum dripping down my inner thigh as I sat before the Council seemed on brand with the shit show of my life.

Papà sat near the center of the elevated curved benches, right beside Uncle Vanni, my cousin Renata’s dad. Growing up, she’d described him as cruel and vicious. I’d never talked to him long enough to confirm her assertion, but gossip ran rampant in Sicily.

Mamma’s best friend Luna once whispered about how Uncle Vanni had forced his wife Margot, a frenchwoman who’d had the misfortune of marrying into my family, to have a threesome with them.

The hottest orgasm of my life, Zia Luna confessed over a cup of Lavazza.

I’d run to my room and looked up the words “threesome” and “orgasm,” falling down the rabbit hole of Pornhub for a solid hour before Papà knocked on the door to check on me. The same Papà currently staring at me like I’d chopped off his arm and fed it to one of Carole Baskin’s tigers.

“Do you know why you are here, Liliana?” Uncle Vanni’s voice boomed across the chambers.

Representatives of every major mafia family flanked him on the raised bench, including my husband’s and paramour’s. The sight would have intimidated me, had I not been so resigned to my death. Maybe that was why I hadn’t bothered holding back during the deflowering ceremony.

If it was going to be my last time, I wanted it to feel good.

And it did.

Holy shit, it did.

They say sex follows love.

I wondered what follows sex.

Probably nothing short of a miracle.

I sighed, drawing it out as if it’d change my fate. “No.”

“We will ask a series of questions about the events
