“It’s my job to protect you,” Matteo mutters, his gaze locked with mine, “and I failed.”

The rawness in his tone causes tears to prick my eyes, but I blink them away, knowing now is not the time. He needs me to be strong, to help him work through all the emotions he’s struggling with. 

Before I can argue that he didn’t fail, he flips me over onto my hands and knees. I’ve barely steadied myself when a loud crack hits the air at the same time his palm lands on my left butt cheek. 

“Do you have any idea how scared I was?” he breathes out, his voice shaky. “Thinking I was never going to see you again.” 

His hand connects with my right cheek, and I hiss at the painful pleasure his smack emits. 

“I told you not to leave your guard, but you didn’t listen,” he chokes out. 

And it hits me … 

He’s not mad at me. He’s mad that he couldn’t protect me. He’s mad at the lack of control he has. He doesn’t know how to deal with the feelings he has for me. And I get it because I’ve never felt so strongly for anyone the way I feel for Matteo.

“Matteo, I’m sorry,” I cry out when he spanks me again. 

“Sorry wouldn’t have stopped you from being killed,” he says, rubbing the area he just smacked. “It doesn’t stop the ache that I feel in my chest every time I think about you sitting in that metal chair, tied up.” 

Another smack and then another. The pain has now turned into pleasure, the area between my legs tingling, as if he has a direct line to my p****, and with each smack on my a**, I get more and more turned on. 

I wait for another swat to come, welcoming it, but instead, he reaches over and tugs on my hair, pulling my head back so I’m forced to look at him. 

“I don’t know what to do with these feelings,” he croaks out, his nearly black eyes boring into mine. “I want to burn this f*cking city down to find the person who took you. I want to send you away so you aren’t a part of this world anymore …”

He brings his face close to mine, tightening his hold on my hair, and I sniffle back my tears as realization hits—I was taken, and I could’ve been killed. Up until now, I was numb from what happened, but seeing the devastation in his eyes, hearing them in his words, I feel every raw emotion. 

“But more than anything,” he says, “I want to hold you so fucking close and never let you go. I love you, Dani, and I don’t know what the hell to do with that.” 

He leans over and captures my mouth in a drugging kiss that has my heart racing in my chest and my legs clenching in want.
