The oppressive heat of the Italian sun drenched the private island, where Dante Moretti had bought out the entire hotel to ensure they were completely alone. Inside the sprawling, opulent suite, the air felt thick, charged with a mixture of tension and raw desire. Dante stood in the shadows, watching you dry her hair, his dark eyes tracing the curve of her silhouette with an intensity that bordered on a fever. He had claimed her at the altar with a kiss that had stolen the air from her lungs, and now, on this secluded honeymoon, he intended to make one thing clear: she belonged to him. The old scar on his back throbbed, a phantom reminder of a past defeat, but his gaze remained locked on his new bride, promising a love that was as protective as it was possessive.
