By Virtue I Fall (Sins of the Fathers #3)(62)

Author:Cora Reilly

We抎 fucked. Twice.

I抎 taken Anna抯 virginity and had asked her for exclusivity, how she put it. I wasn抰 sure what had gotten into me. I抎 never cared if any of the women I抎 been with had slept with others. Naturally, they抎 been married after all. But with Anna? The mere idea that she might be with someone else made me want to kill the person.

Just the thought that she抎 be Cliffy抯 one day made me want to kill the fucker now.

Part of me considered confessing everything to Dante. Not because I was trying to be noble and come clean with my Capo. I simply hoped he抎 decide to cancel Anna抯 engagement to Clifford.

Of course, self-preservation and rationality made me opt for lying. When Anna would marry Clifford in a few years, she and I had probably long lost interest in each other. Risking her reputation and my life only because I was obsessed with her now was absolutely idiotic.

I waited in the car for her in front of her fashion school as usual but when she got into the passenger seat this time, our interaction was strained. Usually, she said something provoking and I answered in turn, but this time she only smiled tensely and I couldn抰 come up with something witty either. Fuck, this was the first time I acted like an idiot around a woman after sex.

I started the car, glad for the sound of the engine. We didn抰 talk the entire car ride. Once back in our apartment, I prepared a strong coffee for us.

Anna cleared her throat. 揑 don抰 like this. I want things to return to how they were before we had sex.?

For a moment I thought she wanted us to return to not having sex, and I was most definitely not in favor of that.

Anna rolled her eyes. I supposed my expression must have given my feelings away. 揙ur teasing and banter. I don抰 want it to become awkward between us just because we抮e having sex regularly.?

揂re we having sex regularly??

揑 hope that抣l be the case. Don抰 you??

I pulled her against me. 揇o you even have to ask??

She flashed me a grin. 揟hen everything抯 settled? We act like we used to but with the added bonus of regular sex??

揊ine with me,?I drawled, slipping my hand up her skirt and into her panties. I began fingering her. 揗aybe we should define regular,?I murmured, enjoying the feeling of Anna becoming slick around my fingers.

揇aily,?she said breathlessly.

揇aily,?I agreed before I hoisted her up on the table for easier access to her pussy.

After a round of sex in the kitchen, we had dinner, before we opted for a second round in the bed.

It was almost nine o抍lock when we relaxed beside each other, both sweaty and exhausted from a particularly long and intense session of me taking Anna doggy style.

Anna yawned.

揟ired??

揑 didn抰 get much sleep last night, did I??

揑 was hoping it would be the same way tonight??

Anna shook her head with a laugh. 揑 can抰 go another round. I抦 too tired, and I need to be fit tomorrow. We抮e getting our first semester assignment in resourceful fashion design. It抣l account for a third of our course note.?

揑抦 here if you change your mind,?I said as I crossed my arms behind my head.

Anna抯 expression shifted but I wasn抰 sure why. She sat up and slid to the edge of the mattress.

揥hat are you doing??

She laughed as if the answer was obvious. 揑抦 going to bed.?

I didn抰 say anything. I抎 thought she抎 spend the night and now that she didn抰 I felt?disappointed.

揝leeping in the same bed will only make it awkward, right??She laughed again.

揚robably.?

揌ow was it with other women??

I didn抰 particularly like talking about other women with Anna. It felt strangely disrespectful, which was complete bullshit considering Anna had caught me in the act. 揟hey shared their beds with their husbands, so the topic never came up.?

Anna shrugged. 揑 don抰 have a husband yet, so theoretically we could share a bed if that抯 something you want.?

揥hat do you want??

Neither of us wanted to do the first step.

揑抦 fine either way.?

揗e too.?

Anna nodded resolutely then got up. 揑 suppose then I抣l go to my bed. It抣l make it easier to keep it simple and uncomplicated, right??

揜ight.?

She picked up her bathrobe from the floor and headed for the door.

I growled, fucking tired of our games. 揝top.?

She turned with cocked eyebrows. 揥hat??

揋et back into bed.?

揥hy??

揋et. The. Fuck. Back. Into. Bed.?

Anna rolled her eyes but hurried back and practically leaped under the covers. 揂ll right. Don抰 get your panties in a bunch.?

I extended my arm and Anna pressed against me.

揗aybe we need to discuss additional rules of our affair.?Calling it an affair didn抰 sit well with me at all, but I had absolutely no clue what else to call it. We weren抰 in a relationship. You couldn抰 go into a relationship with a set end date. And I wasn抰 the type for relationships, had never been.
