“Then we’re not hurting anyone. We belong together. This is our family.”
Gio
I stand out of sight, listening to every word they say. I rub at my bare chest, then place my hands in my sleep pants pockets as my thoughts race.
“All I want is to hold on to the family I have. You, Gio, Lizzy, Elijah, and Gwen. If I got a baby somewhere in there, life would be perfect, but I don’t think that’s for me. He doesn’t want that.”
“I think you’re wrong. At least, I hope you are. You want to keep your family. I want a family of my own. It’s our only wish. Something tells me they’ll be heard, and we’ll have it all.”
I inhale sharply and pull a hand down my face. A part of me longs to give Ny what she wants. I’d love to watch her swell with my baby.
Maybe in a few years this will be over, and I’ll come back to this. I didn’t know she would want this so badly. Or maybe I’ve always known and that’s the real reason I know I can’t fail.
My children will belong, and their mother will be respected. It’s all or nothing. Meaning, I’ll burn all this shit down and there will be no families if mine can’t live in peace.
I nod to myself and turn to head to start dinner. If it’s a baby Ny wants, against my better judgment, a baby she will get.
CHAPTER 32
Her Pleasure
Gio
Six months later…
I walk into the house fuming. Dad wanted to join me and my brothers for a baseball game. I had Yankees tickets and he thought it would be a great idea to surprise the guys so he could bond with his sons.
It’s their sixteenth birthday. They’re good kids, they deserved this. The last six months have allowed us to become closer like Nonno wants. They text me every morning and come into the city most days to be with me in the office. I can see in Dante’s eyes a passion for business, I like that. I’m going to guide it.
Why am I pissed? That motherfucker Riccardo picked Dario up before we could leave for the game. I just missed them. Dante said that cocksucker knew I was on my way and talked Dario into spending the weekend at his place.
Offering him some big gift. Of course, at sixteen, Dario jumped at receiving some special gift. I’ll have to talk to him about that. It means he can be lured into anything. I can’t have that.
“Hey, what are you guys doing back here so early?” Ny says.
I look up from my phone to find her in a tank top and panties while watching TV, with a book in her hands. A smile comes to my face. I don’t know how she does that shit.
She never picks one. As if the TV needs to watch her read. I could never focus like that.
“Riccardo fucked the night up,” Jace says.
“How?”
“He took Dario with him. The game wasn’t the same. Dante was agitated. My mood wasn’t any better.”
“Aww, that sucks. You guys want to watch a movie with me?”
“Let me change,” Jace says.
I shrug out of my suit jacket and take off my cuffs to roll my sleeves up. Kicking off my shoes, I then pull off my socks and stuff them in my shoes before I take a seat next to her on the couch.
Ny bites her lips as she places her head on my shoulder and slides her hand into my shirt. I open two more buttons as she glides her hand across my pecs. I flex my chest and look down at her face. She lifts her gaze to mine and smiles.
“Is that better?”
“Whenever you’re near, it’s better.”
I pinch her chin between my fingers and lift her face to take her soft lips. She climbs to straddle my lap, her hot pussy searing me through my pants. I cup her ass and pull her into my erection.
She moans as I kiss her neck and slip my hands into her panties. I find her wet folds from behind and start to finger her.
She claws her fingers against my face, bringing my lips to hers. I nip and bite at her lips. She soaks my fingers as she rocks her hips against my digits.
“Gio,” she whispers and throws her head back.
I bite at the tops of her breasts exposed by her tank top. I’m hard as a rock. It’s been weeks since I’ve been here. When I got here this morning, she was busy with schoolwork. As bad as I wanted to throw her up against the desk and fuck her on it, I held back to allow her to get the paper done. I don’t think there’s anything that can stop me from fucking her now.
At least that’s my thought until Jace plops down on the couch beside us. I roll my eyes and start to pull my hand from her panties.
