The king of Ashes Chapter One Hundred and Fifty : A Different Kind of King
(Alessandro’s POV) I held her in my arms, my body still buried deep inside hers, the two of us breathless in the armchair, the city of Paris glittering outside the window, a silent, unmoving witness to our desperate, beautiful reunion. Her heart was hammering against my chest, a wild, frantic rhythm that matched my own, and I grinned into her kiss, my queen, my wife, my beautiful, insatiable Isabella. “Never better,” she whispered against my mouth, her lips swollen and red, and I groaned, because I was exactly the same, I was never better than when I was with her. I held her like that for a long moment, just feeling her, feeling the slick heat of her body, the tight, perfect clench of her muscles around me, and I knew, I knew I was not done, I was not even close to being done. “I love you,” I whispered, the words a rough, honest sound in the quiet room. “I love you,” she breathed back, her fingers tracing the tattoo on my chest. I pulled back, just enough to see her face
The king of Ashes Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Nine: The Taste of Paris
(Alessandro’s POV) The ride back to the penthouse, with the streets of Paris blurring past our window, was a sweet, delicious kind of torture, the car a small, private bubble moving through the most beautiful city in the world, and I could not, I would not, keep my hands off my wife. She was sitting beside me, her new, ridiculously expensive bags forgotten on the floor, her face flushed and her eyes sparkling from the champagne we’d had at the boutique, and she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I loved her, way too much to make sense. I was never crazy about this, about the simple act of touching, but with Isabella, I found that sometimes it was all I wanted to do. My hand, which had been resting on my own leg, moved to hers, my fingers brushing the silk of her new dress, and I watched her breath hitch, a small, tiny sound that was just for me. My hand slid higher, past her knee, my palm pressing against the soft, warm skin of her inner thigh, and she shifted in he
The king of Ashes Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Eight : A Normal Life
(Isabella’s POV) I woke to the smell of fresh coffee and the soft, buttery light of a Parisian morning, and for a moment, I didn’t know where I was, for the sheets felt like silk against my skin, and the room was vast and beautiful. And then it all came rushing back to me, the wedding, the jet, the candlelit bath, and the Eiffel Tower sparkling just for us, and I remembered, I was in Paris, I was on my honeymoon, and I was Mrs. Isabella De Luca. I stretched, a long, happy, contented stretch, my body feeling wonderfully sore, a delicious, private reminder of the night before, of the way Alessandro had loved me, slowly, tenderly, as if he was worshiping me. He was already gone from the bed, and I could hear his low, rumbling voice from the next room, speaking in quiet, fluent French on the phone, probably already handling business, already being a king, even here. I smiled, wrapping the silk sheet around my body, and I padded to the window, looking out at the beautiful, gray-blue
The king of Ashes Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Seven : The City of Lovers
(Alessandro’s POV) I held her in the warm, rose-scented water, her wet, naked body fitting perfectly against mine, and the world, for the first time in my entire, godforsaken life, felt completely, and utterly, still. There were no ghosts here, no kings, no Dons, and no prisoners, there was only the soft, flickering candlelight dancing on her skin, and the steady, peaceful beat of her heart against my chest. I, the King of Ashes, was just a man, holding his wife, and the profound, simple peace of that truth was a feeling so new, so powerful, it almost brought me to my knees. I leaned in and kissed her, a long, slow, and endlessly tender kiss, a kiss that tasted of wine, and roses, and a future I had never believed I would live to see. She sighed against my mouth, her arms wrapping around my neck, her fingers tangling in my wet hair, and I felt her love, a tangible, living thing, wrap around me like a shield. “This is not real,” she whispered against my lips, her voice a sleepy
The king of Ashes Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Six: The City of Light
(Alessandro’s POV) The grand party at the Citadel raged for hours, a magnificent display of our new, absolute power, and the air was thick with the scent of a thousand white roses, the sound of music, and the low, respectful murmurs of men who knew, finally, who was in charge. I stood with Isabella, my wife, my queen, at the center of the room, her hand in mine, and I accepted the congratulations of Don Gallo, the fearful nods of Don Caruso, and the cold, dead stare of Lorenzo Falcone, a man who was now a ghost in my world. Isabella was magnificent, a vision of grace and strength, her smile warm, her eyes shining, and she was the perfect, beautiful counterpoint to the cold, dangerous king at her side. She was my light, my peace, and I had never been more proud. As the night finally began to wind down, long after midnight, when the last of the Dons had departed, leaving only the scent of champagne and flowers, Isabella leaned her head against my shoulder, a small, weary sigh es
The king of Ashes Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Five : The Vow and the Proclamation
(Alessandro’s POV) I stood at the altar of the small, quiet church, the late afternoon sun streaming through the old, stained-glass windows, painting the dusty air in colors of deep blue, rich ruby, and brilliant gold. I had faced down armies, I had stared into the eyes of murderers, I had blackmailed the most powerful men in the country, but nothing, nothing, in my entire, violent life had ever made me feel as terrified as I did in this one, silent moment. My hands were shaking, a small, humiliating tremor I could not control, so I clasped them behind my back. Lucian stood beside me, not as my consigliere, but as my best man, his old, wise face softer than I had ever seen it, a small, proud smile on his lips. Across the aisle, Anya, her eyes already shining with happy tears, waited for Isabella, her role today not as a hacker, but as a maid of honor, a sister to the queen. There were no guards, no Dons, no guns, for this was not a meeting of power, it was a vow. This small,
The king of Ashes Chapter One Hundred and Eighteen: The Sins of the Father
(Alessandro’s POV) The sharp, ugly crack of the slap echoed in the vast, silent penthouse, it felt louder than a gunshot, more violent than any explosion I had ever witnessed. Isabella stumbled back, her hand flying to her cheek, but her beautiful, happy face was not one of confusion, it was
The king of Ashes Chapter One Hundred and Seventh : The Morning of the Vow
(Alessandro’s POV) I woke to the soft, golden light of dawn and a profound, unnerving silence, the space beside me in the bed was empty. For a single, heart-stopping second, the old, familiar panic seized me. The wars, the ghosts, the constant, gnawing fear of loss it all came rushing back
The king of Ashes Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen : One Last Night
(Alessandro’s POV) I held her in the darkness, my confession of being "terrified" of this happiness still hanging in the air. She rose up, her beautiful face illuminated by the moonlight, and placed her hand on my heart. “It is not fragile, Alessandro,” she said, her voice a firm, unshakab
The king of Ashes Chapter One Hundred and Fifteen: The Calm Before the Vow
(Alessandro’s POV) The first morning of our new world was quiet. I woke with the sun, a habit I could not break, but for the first time in as long as I could remember, I did not wake with a jolt of anxiety, my hand reaching for a gun that wasn't there. There was only the soft, warm weight of
