As their intense connection ignited, Diego's smoldering golden eyes sparked a fire within Jacqueline. "Three years ago, the moment I laid eyes on you, I wanted you. Now, that desire has intensified," he confessed, his voice low. "I've felt the same, Diego. I've waited so long for this moment... Sometimes, three years feel like an eternity. Touch me, please," she whispered hesitantly, her body trembling with longing. "I will, my love... And I won't stop until you ask me to," he vowed, his words filled with determination. "Then don't ever stop," she breathed urgently, her hips involuntarily moving against the sheets, acutely aware of the growing ache within. "Never," he confirmed, his promise firm. "Are you making a guarantee?" she questioned, seeking reassurance. "A certainty," he replied, his gaze unwavering. To Diego Francisco Martinez del Río, a charismatic and enigmatic Mexican aristocrat known as the Duque de Altamira, Jacqueline Maxwell appeared as a quirky gypsy, living in humble circumstances in a trailer, even raising his beloved niece, Azura. The thought of it appalled him – she was poor but undeniably beautiful, with potential to transform into the ideal duchess. With Azura adoring her, he decided to offer marriage, combining it with the responsibility of providing a better life for the child and his late sister's legacy. Jacqueline, however, knew Diego well – his allure masked a ruthless nature, and she suspected his intentions were purely for personal gratification. Marriage seemed a pragmatic solution to secure Azura's future, despite the knowledge that Diego's true intentions might not extend beyond their physical connection.
