Crimes of the King

"Antonio please-" I begged as my legs hit the desk behind me, casuing me to become pinned between the hulking man and the cold oak, my breath hitched as he leaned closer to me.

"Stop me if you want, but I know you don't want that. When will you understand you're mine Valencia?"
