Niko rises off my lap like a corpse in a creepy movie, throwing his legs to the side at the same time he fishes out his phone from somewhere. “Damn it” he cursed under his breath. He pulls his jaw to the right, then the left, popping bones, he shakes his head once. Phone to his ear he growls “Get up here now” His fingers fly around the keypad in rapid sessions, shooting out messages is my guess. My brows go up and I wonder who it is that has him reacting so strongly. I get up slowly. My eyes flew between Niko and Maria. And did she say, Madam Salvatore? ...Isn’t that supposed to be me? Or Eva? I shake my head, no, that’s wrong. “Where is she?” Niko asks the same time I ask “Who is that?” “At the entrance, as per your orders, the guards cannot allow armed men into the premises and she refuses to be without her men” “This is a cluster fuck, how the fuck did she get here without my knowing, fuck, fuck!” Niko mumbles to himself, eyes still on his phone, a scowl on his face. Who
** “Your Nona seems nice” I lean into the door, looking at my husband as he dresses, Valantina just left and he came straight up, phone glued to his ear in conversation with Matteo, I could only catch bits and pieces of the conversation as I followed behind him upstairs. He grunts in response, slipping his hands through the sleeves of his black shirt and doing up the buttons. “You were upset” I state, still wanting to know why everyone seemed wary of her presence, though she was a far cry from what I’d been expecting, she didn’t seem bad, just serious. “I don’t like surprises. She wasn’t supposed to be here for about a week” My brows go up, “Then you were expecting her” another grunt as he slips on his cufflinks, folding down the collar of his shirt. “You didn’t think I had to know we were having a visitor?” I questioned as Niko fastened his watch to his wrist and then turned to me. “Why?” I push off the wall, my long dress sweeping the floor as cross my ankles. “Oh, I don’t
Valentina turns to me and I feel cold from the glare of her ice-blue eyes, “What did you say?” I clear my throat, heat spreading up my cheeks at how flippant I had been, I lick my lips nervously, and my eyes fly to Eva beside me, she is quiet, I don’t think she has moved once since we started. Trying to be as polite as I can, I look to Valentina so she knows I didn’t mean to offend. “I don’t have anything against the name Valentina or even Isadora, I quite like it, nice name, I have a younger cousin who goes by that name, we call her Dora.” Fuck, I’m rambling, I look up from my glass, trying for a smile “But we can add that to the list for any future babies,” Thea included, not Tomasa though. She looks at me for a moment then turns back to Niko “Names have meaning, a good name from our line, one with good meaning not some coined version” She makes a face as though she tasted something foul. “Change it” That didn’t seem like a suggestion anymore, it was an order. Still, I hold o
“I’m sorry Niko but your Nonna is a bitch” I pace the length of the room, my hands at my hips, trying to calm down. Valentina just left and the others tickled out of the room one after the other, Tommy saying something about being famished. His eyes follow my movement, the chair turned to the side, not saying a word, in fact, he seems content to stare at me while I seeth silently. “Nothing to be sorry about, I always thought she was a bitch myself”I pause "Why are you looking at me like that?”“Your ass looks delicious in that dress”I give my husband an unimpressed look. “You cannot truly be thinking about sex right now”“Why not?” He corcked a brow. with his hair combed back, his features look sharp, his blue eyes piercing. I stop my pacing and walk up to where he remains seated, I'm so wound up I want to throw a fit, its times like this his cold personality angers me. When I’m close enough, he pulls me by my arm until I’m between his parted thighs and then sits me on one lap.
The door opens a head with brown curls peakes in before he enters the room fully, followed by a low whistle” Was this you Eva? Damn” Tommy eyes the destruction with keen appreciation. His long legs eat up the space easily and before I know it he is lowering down to the couch beside me. I take note that Eva and Matteo are no longer touching. “Are you all planning on how to get back at Nonna? Why did nobody call me?” at my surprised look je pushes his hair from his eyes with a careless shrug, “She wants to take my girl, that’s more than enough offense in my book” “We aren’t planning to get back at Valentina, I was just telling Lola to avoid her, you will do the same” “But why…” he practically whined, throwing his large arms around my shoulders in a hug. “I don’t think that’s necessary, Niko said no so we should be golden” “It's cute that you think that’s enough to stop Valentina,” Tommy says with a pat on my head. "Pretty sure she sacrifices virgins every night and drinks their b
Angelo is sleeping on my chest, just months ago his little body could ball up on my chest but now his hands and legs hang over my sides, his head resting on my breast. They are growing up so fast. To imagine that a year ago they were inside me. My hand drops to his back.“Caela” I called softly. She turns to me, lips parted and struggling with Angelo's toy car happy to be alone with it, the both of them were fighting over it before Angelo had given up, deciding on a nap instead. Caela would have fought over her beloved giraffe until next year before letting someone have it. When I smile at her she turns back, slamming it on the couch and giggling by herself. “Caela” I called again and she turned immediately, eyes wide. I shake my head with another smile. When she turns away from me I say “Valentina?” Waving the car in front of her, she tosses it to the other end of the couch then struggles unto her hands and knees, crawling towards it. “Vale?” I try again. Nothing. “Isadora?” T
“Hm-not much” I stammered, my eyes jumping around nervously, I wondered what he would do if I made a swift escape, in his current mood, probably chase me. His head tilts to the side in silent challenge. “We didn’t get to the gun part-" I decide to add "But he said to shoot to kill” Niko nods in agreement, walking around me, he says, “He’s right about that, don’t pull your gun unless you have every intention to use it.” I follow him with my eyes, my feet still rooted to a spot. Whenever he gets like this, anyone with the right sense will find a place to hide. “And if you do, aim to kill” Now behind me. “What else did your friend teach you” I winced at the way he gritted the word friend. My... I really fucked up. I didn't plan any of it, the thought of learning how to shoot came to me this morning and the more I thought of it, the more it seemed like a smart idea. The mansion is guarded like Fort Knox, but like I told Miguel, one day I might be the only thing standing between my
“Oh my, yes!” I gasped. “Niko…”My core clenches at the onslaught of pleasure gathering between my legs. I scream his name when the wave comes, my head trashing, hair flying about at the intensity. He doesn’t stop, just keeps pounding into me as I ride my orgasm.A broken sound leaves me, I blink back more wetness in my eyes.“Oh…” I squirm beneath him, rolling my hips up into him, knowing I'll have a rug burn on my back but I need more of him. It gets too much, looking at his face eyes dark with pleasure, I tug on my wrists, “Please let me touch you” “No” he punctuated that with a particular vicious thrust and I screamed he repeated the action, hitting a sensitive spot inside me again and again intense pleasure swirled from my hips spreading over my limbs and I felt like I might disintegrate.“Oh…fuckkk” I stand right at the edge, on the precipice as my orgasm crests, about to fall over when he slips out of me. My entire body quakes, my pussy clenching around nothing, as I blinked,
