Chapter 13 - The Claim
Roman didn't take her to the east wing. He took her to his master suite in the central tower—a vast, dark room dominated by a king-sized bed, high stone windows, and the faint scent of cedar and rain.
He carried her through the doors, his arms locked under her thighs, pressing her against the heavy oak door as it slammed shut behind them.
His mouth claimed hers with a fierce, possessive intensity that took her breath away.
Sadi wrapped her legs around his waist, her hands tangling in his dark hair, pulling him closer as his tongue swept into her mouth. The crimson dress was ripped down the side with a sharp tear of silk, Roman’s broad hands finding her bare skin, mapping every soft curve, every heavy dip of her waist and hips.
"Roman," Sadi gasped against his lips as he carried her toward the bed, tossing her onto the soft mattress.
Roman stood over her, his chest heaving as he ripped off his shirt, tossing it onto the floor. His broad chest was covered in dark ink, scars, and heavy muscle—a body built for war, now standing before her in total surrender.
He climbed onto the bed, crawling over her like an apex predator, his heavy weight settling between her thighs.
"Look at me, Sadi," Roman ordered, his voice a low, gravelly rasp.
Sadi looked up into his dark eyes, her heart hammering against her ribs, her body slick with heat and desire.
"You are not small," Roman growled, his hands cupping her hips, lifting her slightly to align her with his body. "You are grand. You are mine. Say it."
"I'm yours," Sadi whispered, her fingers digging into the muscle of his back as he pushed into her, filling her completely.
The pleasure was instant, sharp, and overwhelming. Sadi arched her back, letting out a loud, breathless cry that echoed off the stone walls of the master suite.

Roman didn't hold back. He moved inside her with heavy, rhythmic thrusts, his mouth finding hers, his calloused hands gripping her thighs, holding her fast against him as he drove them both over the edge of sanity.
In the dark, secure fortress of the Rossi estate, the maid who had spent a lifetime trying to shrink finally found the man who wanted every single inch of her.
