All Chapters of Taking Her Home: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

MaxAs I shut the door to the room Ivy was in, my room, there was a knock on the door. I knew that it would be her parents. What I didn’t know, was how they would act. I had called them only after she had seen the doctor which probably was stupid, but I wanted to know she was okay before I called.I opened the door and was met with the face of Vincent Bellandini. He looked pissed. “Sir,” I greeted him, stepping aside to let him and his wife in.“Where is my daughter?” Mrs. Bellandini asked. Her voice gave away that she was worried sick.I started to answer before I heard thedoor to the other bedroom shut. “She is in here, Aunt Becs,” Gia answered her. I watched the woman follow her niece to the room Ivy was in, shutting the door behind them.“What the hell happened?” Vincent asked me as soon as he was sure the door was shut and the women weren’t coming back out. I sighed a

IvyI woke up with a smile on my face. The me from hours earlier, would have slapped it off my face and told myself to stop being sappy, but I couldn't for the life of me. It wasn't until I started stretching, that I realized Max was gone. I listen to see if I can find out where he is. Shower? No water running, but I can hear voices outside the bedroom and I know one of them is my fathers. I decide I am done resting. Hopefully they have some information so I can go take care of this problem.I open the door, and everyone stops talking. Gia and Nico are sitting on the loveseat together, mom is on the couch looking like she is more worried than she was when she had come to check on me, my uncle Dom is in the corner of the room, leaning against the wall looking every bit the scary man that he is when someone messes with his family. My father is of course standing in the center of everything. He appears that he was in the middle of giving orders, but I can

Ivy“Ivy, will you tell me what the hell is going on?” Gia asks me as I look over the bar in the main room of the suite. A full bar is needed for the way the people coming like to party. I sigh and keep working, hoping she will drop it. “Ivy,” her voice is firm telling me that she isn’t going to drop it.“Fine,” I groan, “Carlos got an ID on the guy that tried to kill me.” I look down at the bar in front of me. I know for my plan to work I have to keep myself calm and I’m not sure that I can do that.“Who?” Gia sounds scared. I know this isn’t her thing, but I also know she will stand by me.“One of Uncle Dom’s men.” The gasp is loud causing me to cringe. “Everything will be fine. Max and Nico are going to talk to people and see what they can find out. I don’t just want the guy that did it, I want to know why.”“I

IvyThe sun shining through the window is what wakes me up the next morning. I roll over to cuddle deeper into Max, but he isn’t there. With furrowed eyebrows, I sit up and look around the room. The bathroom door is closed but I can see that the light is on. Holding my breath, I listen. The shower is going.With a smile on my face, I throw back the blankets. The cold air hits my still naked body as walk into the bathroom. The shower door is fogged up giving me only a slight view of Max’s silhouette. I don’t say a word as I walk toward the shower.Easing the glass door towards me I see Max standing there with his back to me. His naked ass looks amazing with water running down it. I bite my lip and can’t help that my eyes stayed glued to it. “You going to come in and stop letting all the cool air in?” Max’s deep voice breaks my concentration. My eyes snap up and connect with his. He is smirking at me over his shoulder causing me to roll my eyes. I turn around and shut the door. When I t

MaxA party. “Fuck,” I swear under my breath as I button my suit jacket up. I have to pretend to not be with Ivy, which is only one thing I’ll hate about tonight. I haven’t had her near me for a whole two hours and I’m not liking it. I want her in my sights at all time.“Her dad has people watching her,” Nico reminds me for probably the tenth time since I separated from Ivy.“Tellme you’re not worried about Gia,” I raise an eyebrow at her.“Touché.” I run a hand down my face and begin pacing. “Calm down though, you are making me nervous, and we all need to be on our game tonight. As you pointed out, I don’t want anything happening to Gia anymore than you want something happening to Ivy.”“You’re really falling for her, huh?”He nods, “Best arrangement ever.” I can tell he is trying to hold back a smile so I smile wide at him so he just gives in. In our word a lot of men don’t want to show they care or love their families. Sometimes it’s because they don’t want to look weak and other t
