Page 23 of Dare To Free Us
Her long dark hair framed her face, making her golden eyes glow behind impossibly long lashes. She came up to me and kissed me passionately as I took her in my arms. I breathed in the smell of her perfume, loving how she always smelled so classy.
“Hello, Beautiful,” I whispered against her lips.
“Hello, handsome.”
We pulled apart slightly. I looked down at her and thought there was no man luckier on earth. To know the love of this woman belonged to me was beyond words. Sometimes I would worry I was still dreaming, like I did so many times when we were forced to be apart.
“What can I do for you today, Mrs. Russo?”
She stepped away from me and dumped her ridiculously large purse on the couch in the sitting area. She was smiling again and though she did it often, this one was filled with mischief. “I got you something,” she said excitedly.
I smiled big enough to hurt my cheeks. My girl was something else. Shopping for a man who has enough money to buy anything can be difficult but somehow Arianna always came up with the best gifts with real thought behind them.
Arianna reached into her purse, pulled something into her hand then hid it behind her back when she stood up. She closed the space between us with an excited smile lighting up her face. I smiled down at her as she stepped right into my chest. “Here,” she said holding up two slim pieces of paper, putting them right in my face. Not paper, tickets.
“And what is this,” I asked, taking them from her hand.
“UFC tickets for the fights at the TG Garden next month,” she beamed proudly.
My heart swelled with the thought I knew she had behind it. I rarely took time off or did many things to spoil myself. UFC was a passion of mine that I shared with Luca for years but hardly took the time to go see them live. The last UFC fight I went to see was when Luca was still here and the reminder that he wouldn’t be going with me saddened me for a moment, but the love in Arianna’s eyes brushed that away. I would have never looked up the fights or bought these for myself. That was always Luca’s department to keep track and get tickets before asking, thereby giving me no choice. Not that I’d ever complained.
“Thank you,” I said, leaning down for a kiss. “But it’s not my birthday,” I added teasingly.
“I know, but you brought home flowers for me three times this week. It made me feel like I needed to dosomething. Did I do good?”
“They’re perfect. But it’s not a competition. I like bringing you flowers because you love them.” I put my arms around her and pulled her in tight as Arianna slid her hands up my chest. She loved fresh flowers. It was the only reason I paid a thousand dollars a week to keep the house full of fresh bouquets. She was always buying me things at random. “So you came all the way here to give me these? You didn’t have to.”
“Well, it’s not the only reason,” she said coyly and put that secret smile on display.
“And what is the other reason,” I asked with an arched brow. Arianna stepped out of my hold, a slender shoulder lifted as she made her way to my desk and leaned back casually.
“I just wanted to see how your day was going. Maybe, see if you were hungry.”
It wasn’t uncommon for her to call asking if I would grab a bite to eat with her. I was often busy and Arianna always got the small leftovers of my time. She never complained— well not never— but I hated that my work caused me to choose between her and duty sometimes. Probably one of the reasons for the tickets, it forced me to take time off.Clever little minx.“I could eat. Where do you want to go?”
“Actually,” she drawled, as she scooted up onto the desk. Then she spread her legs wide, her heals nearly reaching the corners. “I thought you might want to eat here.” A sinister smile crossed her face as her eyes turned to liquid gold.
I looked between the two most perfect thighs in the world so see her naked center calling to me. Reaching for the hem of her dress Arianna lifted it to her waist so the light could shine on her pretty pink flesh.
I got hard so fast my head swam. Everything about her drove my body insane but her sex drive was something else. She wanted sex all the time, and never refused when I’d wake her up in the dead of the night because I woke with a hard-on or came home late wanting to make love to her.
She was sneaky and devious. Calling me in the middle of the day to tell me dirty things or surprising me with new sexy outfits. Or would show up in my home office naked when she knew I was on an important phone call to “bring me a drink”. And damn if I didn’t end my call and fuck her on my desk every time. I’d spank her and call her a bad girl which she would specifically ask for.Pussy whipped for sure.
In public Arianna was shy, but in private she was insatiable.
“Mrs. Russo, how did you know exactly what I’ve been craving,” I asked as I stalked towards her.
“Just a wild guess,” she answered when I stepped between her legs and tossed the tickets on my desk.
I chuckled, unable to help myself.
Arianna looked up into my eyes, exposing her slender neck like a sacrificial lamb. “Are you going to get on your knees for me, Mr. Russo?” she purred.
Arianna knew I bowed to no one. She was the only one I would dare be submissive to and honestly it was rare. I liked control and power even in the bedroom, but every once in a while, I played her little game.
After all, this woman did have power over me that no one else did. Everything I did was for her and our future. She was my purpose. An amazing woman that even though I could give her the world didn’t care about my money or reputation at the end of the day.
I loved her more than my own life. My heart never had and never would belong to another. Without her, there was no light in my world.
