A Trillionaire’s Revenge

"Mrs. Carrington?" I hear, accompanied by kisses, wake me. I giggle, turning to the other side of the bed.

"Wake up." Luke says. "Noooooo!" I reply as I use the pillow to cover my face. He removes it and drags the duvet off my body. I gasp, getting up immediately, "I'm naked!" I try grabbing the duvet from him but he's not having it.

"Fine." I say as I get up, heading for the bathroom. He drags me back and gives me a back hug. I hold his hands in front, as I place kisses on each of them.

"I'm so tiny, compared to you." I say

"Exactly. The perfect fit." We move to the window opposite the right side of the bed and the sunlight falls on us.

"The weather's so nice today, I feel like going for a run and having a picnic by the lake." I say, caressing my ring.

"I want to do anything you want to do, my love."

I break the hug, turning to face him, "Right after we shower. I smell like you."

He raises his brow, playing a small laugh, "So you don't like that? Really, wow? My feelings are hurt."

I laugh too, "No, silly. What I meant to say is, I smell like sex." I lean in for a kiss and he grabs my bare rump as he begins to kiss back.

Luke is already in the shower and the water is already running as I join him. I touch his back and he becomes aware of my presence. I walk into the water, pressing my hair down.

"I promise to always love you, no matter what." He says, as he cups my jaw.

Nothing can make me unlove you. You are my last love and my one and only." My mind drifts off to the first time Luke raped me,
