He looked over his shoulder at my ’65 Buick Riviera and smiled. “I really did choose the right side to be on.” He winked, tossing me his keys in return. “I’ll call you later.”
“Elio,” Sienna reached up and ran a warm hand along my jawbone, “I need you.” Her voice whispered close to my ear.
Vinni grinned, and I knew he’d heard her.
“Come on, Ugo, that’s our cue to leave.” He chuckled. “Come on back to our place. I bet you could use a beer.
“Sienna,” Ugo looked unsure, “we really should discuss what this all means.”
“We will.” She glanced up at me quickly before shook her head at him.
What the hell was that?
As they drove away, we headed inside the guest house.

Savage was the only word to describe our behavior toward each other. We ripped each other’s clothes off in desperation, our lips crushed together, our hands were everywhere as we both panted with need. It was intoxicating. Once we finally reached skin, our bodies bonded with heat, and our frantic friction sent us both over the top in an explosion of pure ecstasy.
I hugged her to me and gently put my hand around her neck. I rubbed my thumb against her rapid pulse. I could feel her.She’s here.
“I thought…” I paused a moment and felt again the terror that had taken me prisoner earlier. “I saw so much bloodshed in my future,” I admitted. “You ground me. You stop me from diving into parts of myself that I don’t always like.”
“It was a terrible day.” She snuggled into me. “So many awful things happened. There was a point when I didn’t think I was ever going to see you again.” A tear fell from her gorgeous navy eyes. “But we’re here now, and I need toknowwe’re here, together. Make me feel you.”
I bent down and lifted her up, her legs wrapped around my waist, as I carried her into the bedroom and lay her on the master bed. I drew my body over hers and wasted no time sliding inside her. We both let out a moan as I moved her hands up over her head then kissed down her neck, across her collarbone, down to her beautiful breasts.
“Home,” I breathed as I sucked on her perky nipples and flicked my hips, needing more friction as I grew harder and harder.
Her hands wiggled out of my hold, and she threaded her fingers through my hair, then over my shoulders, then dug her nails into my back.
I hissed and roared, throwing myself upward at the delicious pain that came with that.
“You like that?” she growled in my ear.
“Mm,” I grunted like the primal animal I was with her when we were like this, “you’re going to make me lose control.”
“Oh, yeah?” She reached down and cupped my balls and rolled them through her fingers. “We wouldn’t want that, would we?” I was completely at her mercy, and she knew it.
I grabbed her sides and quickly rolled over, taking her with me. She straddled me as I palmed her breasts and watched her start to rock back and forth.
She moaned, and her hands fell to my chest, clawing at my pecs as her climax grew. Her hooded gaze hooked onto mine, and just as she fell apart, I reached up and pulled her head to mine so I could swallow her moans of joy. She shook and squeezed her legs as it tore through her, and the entire time, I devoured her mouth, wanting more.
I lost track of how many times we both came that night, but when we were too tired to do anything more, I wrapped my body around hers and slipped back inside, and we didn’t move until morning.

I woke to the sound of a car door closing. I quickly peeled myself from her and glanced out the window to make sure it was Vinni. I blinked and rubbed my tired eyes and glanced at the clock. It was nine already. I leaned over and kissed her shoulder to whisper it was time to get up, then went out to let him in.
“Unshowered, in jeans and a t-shirt.” Vinni scoffed as he came in and put a couple of bags on the table. Then he dropped into a chair and made himself comfortable. “So, is this what vacation-Elio looks like?”
“You had sex,” Niccola stated with his normal bluntness as he walked in. “Good.”
I laughed and rushed to help Mama as she neared the door loaded down with bags. Papa also followed with his arms full.
“I cried last night, happy tears.” She hugged me and sniffed. “Oh, look at me getting all emotional again.”
“That was quite the night.” Papa dropped his bags on the table with a huff, and I knew this whole situation had taken a great toll on him. “I’m just so glad she’s all right.”
