Chapter 219

• When it was done, I stayed silent and still as I waited for him to get off of me. My face and thighs stung where the tree bark had abraded my skin and from the corner of my eye I saw one of his men rub his palm down the front of his pants. Mortification filled me as Enzo’s lips pressed against the back of my neck, exposed by my braids falling to either side, and a chill ran down my spine. And then I felt his hand—the one that was on my hip— slide around to dip between my legs…
• Immediately, I began to struggle. “No. No!”
• His other arm came around my throat and he straightened, taking me with him until we were on our knees with my back against his front. He was still inside of me. I dug my fingers into his arm, trying to pull it away, but I couldn’t make him budge. All around us, Luca’s soldiers watched as Enzo shoved my jeans further down my legs and his fingers found me. “All of these men are going to watch you come,” he told me. “Hear you scream my name.”
