Adalina Salvatore

Eden Salvatore wasn't the saint I thought he was. The bastard knew exactly what he was doing and he had his priority straight. When he set his mind on something, to hell with it all because he was going to fucking get what he wanted. It's either his way or his other way.

We barely made it home. I saw a glimpse of it before he decided that he couldn't take it anymore and pulled me into a random ditch somewhere on the construction side. Scandalous.

But, I wasn't going to complain.

He stared at me, brushing the fallen strands of my hair out of my face and tucked it behind my ear. I watched him carefully, following his movement and anticipating his next.

A small gasp escaped from the depth of my throat when he raked a hand through my hair, tugging me forward him by the back of my head. He closed the distance and I could feel his heart beating through our connected chests. I felt like I was home.

" May I? " he whispered, staring down at my lips. I tilted my chin forward and matched his gaze.

" Tell me what you want? " I asked, slowly bringing my hands up his chest and stopped at the back of his neck.

He cocked an eyebrow, leaning over to whisper in my ear. " I want so many things, darling. I've been so patient. "

His words alone almost left me breathless as they sent shivers down my spine. But, it was the tip of his tongue licking the inside of my earlobe that sent me over the edge. He suckled the skin underneath my ear, gently biting down before he made his way down to the side of my neck while his hands wandered under his jacket I was wearing and along the curves of my body.

My fingers tugged the back of head, pulling him closer as I threw my head back slightly. He set my home on fire and now he had moved on to do the same to me.

" I want your heart racing and your skin on fire. I want you to experience heaven in my hell. " he whispered between the kisses.

His hand trailed up my arm to my shoulder. He played with the strap of my dress, slipping his fingers under and it was driving me wild. He pulled it slowly down my shoulder, freeing the swell of my breast. I threw my head back, gasping for air when his mouth met my flesh, sucking and licking like he was starving.

He stopped for a moment, nuzzling his face into my chest. " Christ, I'd do anything for you right here. " he mumbled under his breath.

I chuckled, playing with his hair. " How can you be adorable and hot at the same time? "

He brought his head back up to kiss under my chin, my jaw, my cheeks and everywhere except where I wanted him to.

" Eden. " I groaned, grabbing a fistful of his shirt, pulling him closer even when I knew it was impossible to get any closer than this.

" You still haven't answered my question. " he said, hands wandering back down until his fingers grazed the hem of my dress.

" Kiss me. Kiss me, goddamn it. "

Suddenly I was on my back, laying on the ground of the miserable ditch despite the fact that our house was a couple of feet away. But, who was I to deny my husband's kink or whatever the hell this was.

His entire body hovered above mine and his eyes. God, his eyes. They were the most beautiful pair I had ever seen and when I thought it couldn't get more beautiful than that he proved me wrong. Especially when those eyes were looking at me like that.

I wanted to scream and I thought I did as he grabbed the back of my thigh and wrapped my leg around his hip. He dipped his head down, staring into my eyes before placing a gentle kiss on the corner of my mouth. I groaned in frustration. I placed my hands on either sides of his face and pulled him down to my mouth again. I felt his smile on my lips as he lightly ran the very tip of his tongue around the outline of my lips before crashing down into a full kiss.

I melted into him. He was gentle, so gentle. His hand brushed down the skin of my arm again until he found my palm. Our fingers intertwined as he brought it up and placed it above our heads, keeping me in place.

Then like something finally snapped, he all but shoved his tongue down my throat while his other hand hiked up and under my dress. I groaned into the kiss and he swallowed it.

He was everywhere. His hand roamed my bare stomach, teasing the under of my breasts with his thumb and I was burning all over. I gripped onto the back of his head and shoulder, arching my back and pressing my hips against his. Hard. He was so hard.

I almost gulped and choked on my breath but he held me in place and barely let me breath. " Damn your wound. I want to fucking choke you and shut you the fuck up. " he grunted into the kiss.

Heat pulled between my legs as I groaned back in response, silently agreeing with him. My hands travelled down his shirt, lingering under it, touching and feeling the structure of his abs. It hit me then that I had never even seen him shirtless. The damn thing needed to come off.

" Take off your shirt. " I pulled his head away, breaking the kiss. He stared at me, unimpressed before came crushing down again.

" Tear it off for all I care. We stop when I said so now shut the fuck up. " he bit down my lower lips, smacking my ass then started kneading it.

" Can I take off your pants too? " I asked again. He glared at me. " I'm sorry. Punish me. " I added.

" Just shut the fuck up. "

My fingers fumbled on the buttons of his shirt as I struggled to take it off and kept kissing him at the same time. At this point we were sharing oxygen and everything else.

" Porn. Free live porn. What the fuck? The house is literally right there, you horny royal fucks. " Thane screamed on top of his lungs.

We broke apart so fast, I was so scared that my husband's neck was going to snap in half. Eden slumped his whole body on top of me as he sighed into my shoulder blade. I wrapped my arms around his head, closing my eyes. I wanted to cry and die.

" I'm going to kill him. " he murmured into my skin.

" I think he can totally see up my dress. " I whispered back.

He sat up and covered me with his body as he turned toward the traumatized bodyguard. Eden started barking at Thane to get the hell out of here before he strangled him alive and dumped his body in this same ditch. Thane gagged at his boss before he ran like hell for his life.

Chuckling, I sat up and hugged him from the back. " Let's go home, my prince. "

He rubbed his temples but nodded his head. Standing up, he offered his hand toward me and we did the walk of shame back home.

We really should have lived in that ditch. Because the moment we stepped inside the castle he couldn't disappear fast enough behind the door of his study. I glared at his back before running up the staircase to our bedroom.

The place didn't look as bad as I thought it would be. Shutting the new double door closed, I quickly got out of the dirty dress and stalked into the bathroom. My body sank into the bathtub, I closed my eyes leaning my shoulders back as lukewarm water started to fill the tub.

I still felt his hands on me and the taste of his lips. I almost got straight out of there because in some ways the water was washing his touch away and I didn't want that. He was unpredictable and I wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly turned cold and distant again.

I was a fool to go along with every other tricks of his. But, it felt so real, so perfect to have him all over me. It was too good to be true and I had never felt such things.

Doubts and unwanted thoughts creeped up mind, I sank lower until my head was under the water, just like I was diving head first into his hellfire.

I really could fall in love with him that if I wasn't already halfway there. Maybe I didn't mind breaking my own heart for him.

The sun was fully up when I stepped down into the kitchen. I rampaged through the newly renovated cupboards and drawers, looking through the fridge and turned it inside out for some sort of ingredients because I was so fucking starving.

And, I was stressed so I desperately needed to eat before I went crazy.

Groaning at the lack of things I found, I noted that we needed to hire a new housekeeper and maids soon because I only knew how to cook so much and it was a miracle that I hadn't burnt this kitchen down.

I completely abused the pancake mixed. Gripping the pink spatula I found in my deadly grasp, I raked my brain trying not to think about him. That insufferable irresistible jerk.

God, I missed him and his mouth.

" What did the poor bowl ever do to you, Adalina, darling? "

I screamed bloody murder as the bowl slipped from my elbow and dropped to the floor, splashing the mixture all over me. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before turning toward the bastard.

He casually leaned on the doorframe with his hands shoved in his pockets, looking freshly cleaned with a lazy smile on his face. I almost dropped to my knees for him.

" Asshole. " I glared, throwing the spatula at his head.

I didn't wait to see if it hit him as I turned around to the kitchen sink and turned the water on. Again, the universe wasn't on my side today. The thing didn't even work, in fact the water shot straight at me soaking my shirt.

A breathy chuckle boomed behind my back. I cursed him in my head. I looked down at my chest and just like I had guessed everything was out. " Is Thane still here? " I asked.

" I kicked him out. " he answered and my lips curled up into a smirk.

I turned around slowly, leaning my back into the kitchen sink. His eyes dropped to my wet shirt and lingered there for a bit. Clearing his throat, he snapped out of it and walked over to the drawer and grabbed a small towel for me.

" Here clean your hands. " he pointed at my coated fingers.

I looked at him dead in the eyes as I brought my hand up and put my fingers in my mouth, sucking on it. It was almost as sweet as he was but the looks on his face was worth it.

" Eden, you're not blinking. " I said, grabbing the towel out of his hand.

He narrowed his eyes at me accusingly. " You stopped sucking. "

I was about to answer when he stalked forward and lifted me off the ground. He bent me over the kitchen sink, pushed my hair out of my face, gently spreading my legs apart.

I swallowed. Crap. Crap, I set myself up straight into his claws. " Erm. What are you doing? "

He ran his finger tips slowly up and down my thighs. " I'm going to kill you myself one of these days. " he grumbled before crashing his lips on mine.
