I don’t respond because what she’s saying is all true. I treated her like shit, yet she still wants me. I don’t deserve her. She kisses my lips and I sit her down on the counter.
I hike up her dress, pulling down her pink lace panties.
My dick gets hard as I unzip my pants. Grabbing her thighs, I thrust inside of her and she groans against my forehead.
“D-Devious, you feel so good. So good.”
Someone turns the knob, speaking in Greek. I pound into her harder and harder, then about fifteen minutes later, my dick tingles and my balls tighten as I shoot my load all in her warm pussy. As I pull out, she grabs her panties, sliding them on her hips. The door jingles and someone beats on the door again.
I point to the window. “We go out the window.”
She stands on my hand and I push her towards the square shape window, and she disappears, then I jump on the counter, onto the window still, falling on the concrete. Roselyn laughs hysterically. I stand up, dusting off my dress shirt and denim jeans, then I hold out my hand. “Now let’s go to Art Space. I want to show you some artwork and drink wine, then take you back to the hotel and fuck you rough, like a husband’s supposed to.”
Roselyn
MY MIND IS STILL REELING in on what happened last night. After we left the Art Space, we had sex while we were drunk, outside on the balcony, talked about the future, and our plans in the next five years. Never in a million years did I think I would have so much fun with Devious yesterday, and it was one of the most fun days in my life. Devious had a business meeting and told me to stay put with no phone or laptop for communication. I’m bored out of my mind. I didn’t think it would be this hard to earn his trust. I thought by being nice and doing what he says then he’d give me a little more freedom.
The hotel room comes with a kitchen, so I head to it and grab a bowl full of grapes. Devious said tonight he’s going to make me dinner and we’re going to explore the ruins of Delos. I stand outside of the balcony, taking in the beautiful city. I’m thinking about this being a vacation spot for us. Whoa, pump the breaks, Roselyn. I need to stick to my plan and earn his trust so I can leave him. Not think about future plans with him. Not believing I can fall in love with him. After all the shit we put each other through, no way I’m sticking around him. We’re toxic, especially Devious. He does things to get what he wants, and what makes me so different from him? I tried to kill the guy on our wedding night. Shaking my head, I have to be on my shit, when it comes to Devious because he has a way of sweeping me off the feet. I breathe in the wet air from the ocean, glancing at the blue sky. I’m going to work hard at earning his trust so I can leave him. Just because he’s taking me on the trip it doesn’t mean anything. So, I need to watch my back.
Devious waltzes into the room with a gigantic smile on his face. This is the first time he’s smiled since I’ve been around him.
“What? Mr. Devious is smiling. The world must be ending,” I say, jokingly nudging him in the gut.
“I’m happy I got the hottest woman on my side.”
“How did the gun trade go?”
He lifts his eyebrow.
“What? I was eavesdropping on your conversation. You were using some of the code words Papa says and I pieced it together.”
He shakes his head. “Don’t ever eavesdrop on my conversation. You shouldn’t know what’s going on in the mafia.”
“Right. My job is to lie on my back and bear your children and take your abuse while you dictate everything I do. You’re so fucking controlling and possessive and it pisses me off. You know, take me to Delos.” I say, as I pivot on my feet, heading towards the front door, but Devious catches my arm, pulling me close to him. His hard chest brushes against mine and he wraps his arms around my waist. He moves a few strains out of my face.
“You want me to treat you like an equal then I need you to be on your best behavior. You want to earn my trust then you have to give me reasons to. Trust is earned, not given, Nymph. It doesn’t happen overnight.”
I push him away from his grip, putting some distance between us, then I place my hand on my hips. “It’s all about you and what you want. I’ve done everything you ask. I’m trying my best to get in good graces with you, Devious. But nothing seems to work.”
“You tried to kill me, Roselyn.” He rubs the side of his temple.
“Because you were going to hurt me! I feel like all you do is take and I get the little crumbs of you.”
He stares at me with confusion on his face, then he says, “If you were getting the crumbs of me, trust me you wouldn’t come to Santorini with me, I wouldn’t be taking care of your Nonno and I wouldn’t let you warm my bed. I wouldn’t take you out on a date to a fancy restaurant on the day the man I looked up to was buried. I was in so much fucking pain and all I thought about was how sad you were and wanted to cheer you up. And I never given two shits about anyone’s feelings when it comes to mine, not even Shelby’s. I’m sacrificing myself for an ungrateful woman who committed treason and tried to kill me. I would’ve taken
