Bloody Heart: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Brutal Birthright Book 4)
Bloody Heart: Chapter 45

Dante drives Raylan and me directly to the nearest hospital. It’s a tiny clinic in Sarasota, where the only other patient is a kid with a broken arm. He looks thrilled to have some kind of entertainment at hand, besides his own aching arm. The staff are a lot more suspicious. They separate me from the two men, asking a barrage of questions that make it clear they don’t believe Raylan’s story of being shot in a hunting accident.

They let me use the shower at least. I stand under the hot spray for forty minutes, watching dirt, twigs, leaves, and blood swirl down the drain. I start crying again, seeing the cuts and welts all over my body. Remembering the feeling of fleeing for my life.

But I also remember what it felt like to have Dante’s arms wrap around me as he lifted me into the air, pressed safely against his chest. I’ve never felt a more powerful sensation of relief, gratitude, and safety.

Dante’s arms are the safest place in the world. The only place I’ve truly felt secure.

I would face any danger, as long as he was with me.

Once I’m clean, and the doctor has stitched up the worst of the cuts on my feet and legs, the hospital lends me a pair of scrubs to wear. They’re soft and faded from a hundred washings, and quite honestly, they’re the most comfortable thing I’ve ever worn.

It takes longer for them to sew up the wound in Raylan’s side. They have to put a couple pints of blood in his arm, and Dante and I check into the only motel in the town, so Raylan can rest and recover overnight.

The motel room is tiny, last decorated in 1982 most likely, with wood-paneled walls, mustard-yellow drapes, and a scratchy wool blanket.

To me, it’s the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in, because I’m staying there with Dante. We eat at the kitschy little family restaurant next door, both of us ordering double stacks of pancakes and bacon, which turn out to be surprisingly delicious.

Then we go back to our room, and Dante throws me down on the creaky, lumpy bed that groans alarmingly under our combined weight.

I look up into Dante’s face—into his fierce black eyes.

“I’m sorry,” I tell him, again. “I should have told you about Henry.”

“I should have to come to London,” Dante says, seriously. “I should have never let you go so easily. I should have tracked you down that year, or the one after, or the one after that. I was prideful and bitter. I was a fool.”

“I’ll never lie to you again,” I promise him.

“I’ll never fail to find you.”

He kisses me. His lips are rough and warm. His huge, heavy arms envelop me completely.

He moves his hands down my body, gently squeezing and massaging the aching muscles of my neck, shoulders, chest, and back. He finds every tight and knotted place, and he presses out the stress and pain of the last twenty-four hours. His hands are so warm and strong that they force out trauma from my flesh, leaving a deep, contented pleasure in its place.

My body has been in so much pain that it seems impossible that I could become aroused again. But as his palms brush over my breasts, I feel my nipples responding to his touch. A warm flush spreads from my breasts down to my belly.

Dante takes my breast in his mouth. He sucks gently on the nipple, lapping it with his tongue. He trails his tongue all the way down my navel, to the little patch of skin right below my belly button.

The skin is tight, but if you look closely, there’s few silvery lines, the last ghostly remnants of the stretch marks I got in the final month of my pregnancy.

“I never noticed those before,” Dante says. His voice is soft, with a tone of wonder, not anger. “I bet you were the most beautiful pregnant woman.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“If you wanted . . .” I say, my voice catching in my throat. “Maybe I could be again . . .”

Dante looks up at me, his hand tightening around mine.

“Do you mean that?” he says, huskily.

I nod, tears pricking at my eyes.

“I’m not on the pill,” I tell him. “In fact . . .” mentally I count back through the days since my last period. “Now could be a good time.”

Dante presses his face against my pussy and inhales my scent. Even with his dark, dark irises, I can see his pupils dilate with lust.

“You do smell fucking phenomenal,” he growls.

He runs his thumb down the slit between my pussy lips, feeling my slick wetness. My pussy is thrumming with anticipation, my clit already swollen and sensitive, even though he’s barely touched me yet. My heart is thumping, and I feel that anxious anticipation, the desire coiled inside me like a spring.

I can smell the scent of Dante’s skin, even when he’s down between my legs. It smells intoxicating, enticing, irresistible . . .

My body wants him. Craves him. Needs him.

I’m sure it’s true . . . I’m fertile right now. Ovulating. Biologically driven to mate with this man who is the biggest, strongest, and most ferocious that I’ve ever seen.

“Cum inside me,” I beg him. “Make a baby with me, Dante.”

His eyes are two black pools of lust. He rips off his shirt, revealing those thick slabs of muscle on his chest, shoulders, and biceps. The dark hair on his chest arouses me, as do his tattoos, and even the scrapes and cuts from our time in the woods. Evidence of what this man did for me, risking his life to save me.

He unbuttons his jeans, dropping them down his hips, revealing that heavy, thick cock, that springs up, already fully hard and seeking the warmth and wetness between my legs.

He grips the base of it, positioning it at my entrance. Then he drives into me in one long, firm thrust.

I’m so wet that his cock slides all the way in, all the way to the base. We’re pressed together, face to face, chest to chest. Dante supports himself on the thick pillars of his arms, pinning me down to the bed. Clenching his ass cheeks, he drives his cock into me again and again.

I wrap my legs around his hips, my ankles linked behind his legs. I grind my clit against him with every thrust. It’s so swollen and sensitive that each thrust sends a wave of pleasure pouring over me.

“Cum inside me,” I beg him again. “Get me pregnant.”

Dante wraps me up in his arms and fucks me harder, driven wild by my request.

“You want my baby?” he grunts in my ear. “You want to carry my child?”

“Yes,” I moan.

That’s all it takes. My desire for his seed makes him explode inside of me. I feel his cock pulsing as he shoots rope after rope of cum deep inside my pussy, right at the entrance of the cervix.

The twitching of his cock and the thick, hot sensation of his cum brings me to orgasm as well. My pussy clenches around him, squeezing and contracting, drawing his cum deeper, all the way into my womb.

Dante kisses me deeply, wildly, erotically.

I kiss him back, certain that his seed will take hold.

We’re going to make another baby. Intentionally, this time.

And Dante will be with me every step of the way.
