Dante Villa

Alexei POV“Holy crap,” Talia whispered to herself as we got out of the car and stared up at the house Dante had casually described as cozy during our drive up to the villa but cozy, that was one word for it.The house was massive, sitting beautifully against the hillside with an incredible view of the lake stretching out beyond it.It had the same kind of warmth and solid, luxurious feel as my house in New York, though everything about this place felt more open and connected to nature.The architecture, the spacious design, the heavy wood and stone details...it reminded me of home, only with a much more peaceful setting.Talia slowly tilted her head back, taking it all in.Dante watched his daughter carefully. He was trying his best not to let her see how nervous he was, but it was obvious to me that he wanted her to like the place.....he wanted both of us to like it. “Alexei mentioned you like log cabins,” Dante said.Talia blinked and looked at me. “Yeah, but this place could eat m

It's Settled

Alexei POV Talia moans against my lips, and I take my time, tasting her ...touching her and appreciating every second of the privacy that we rarely get these days.I’ve missed this more than anything, but I haven’t wanted to push her either. My cock is a pulsing beast in my jeans, and when I finally pull away, Talia and I are both breathless, hungry, and needy. “Why did you stop?” she murmurs, trying to drag me back to her.“We can’t.” I rest my forehead against hers.“Alexei.” She sighs out in frustration. “You’ve been treating me with kid gloves ever since I came home.”“Because I don’t want to rush anything.” I brush her hair back out of her eyes and kiss the new scar on her forehead. The constant reminder that I almost lost her.“I think it’s time,” she whispers against my lips.“Time to put the past behind us and move forward but I’m scared.”“I know you are, sweetheart.” I stroke her hair and cradle her against my chest, a silent promise that I’ll always protect her that I’ll

Alexei Is Back

Viktor POVWhen Alexei called to tell me he was coming, I couldn’t stop my excitement. It had been almost five months since he left.Five months didn’t sound like such a long time when I said it aloud, but when it came to my brother, it had felt like far longer.There were some people you could go months without seeing and barely notice their absence but Alexei had never been one of those people.He was my brother, my family, and whether we said it out loud or not, his absence had been felt by all of us because things had changed considerably since he left.Aria was already heavily pregnant, and Ivan had taken over many of the things I would normally handle because I had made it a priority to be there for my wife.I didn't regret that decision for a second and watching her pregnancy progress while knowing she needed me had made it impossible for me to stay away for long.When I told Aria that Alexei was finally coming to visit, the reaction on her face wasn't what I expected.She look

Alexei Left

Aria POVHaving Alexei back in the house felt surprisingly nice. I hadn't realized how much I had missed him until he was actually sitting at our dining table again, talking to his brothers and laughing with everyone as if he had never been gone.For the longest time, I had simply gotten used to his absence. Life had continued, and with everything that had happened, I never really stopped to think about what it meant to have one of the brothers missing from the house but now that he was back, I found myself enjoying his presence more than I expected.I actually missed him and, strangely, I was getting along surprisingly well with Talia too.I had expected things to be awkward between us, especially considering everything she had been through and the complicated circumstances that had brought her into the family.Instead, we seemed to be bonding naturally and there was something easy about being around her maybe it was because we were both women surrounded by these impossible men and t

Three Months Later

Viktor POV Three Months Later Noah was sitting in his shark floaty that looked as if the thing was going to swallow him whole. He gave Aria a toothless grin while I pushed him through the water because two weeks from her due date Aria wasn’t as mobile.She leaned against the edge and watched everything with a happy expression. Alexei and Talia came back for summer break and they lounged on the sunchairs, keeping an eye on their son.Sometimes I wondered how things would have been, if my brothers and I were alone. Would we have moved on just as easily?With the children and Aria pregnancy, the future beckoned stronger than the past ever could.We still worked our asses off to guarantee the blacktop success but we tried to spend as much time as possible with our family. Seregi and Ivan had taken over more responsibilities, which allowed Alexei and me additional free time.Aria suddenly released a sharp breath and cradled her belly under the water surface. “What is it?”She shook her h

Ethan, Trouble Maker

Aria POV Noah rolled over on his stomach and pushed onto his knees then braced himself on his hands, shoving his butt into the air.At only ten months, he was already hellbent on starting to walk with his bum in the air, he peered up, unsure how to straighten. He grinned when he saw me watching and my heart exploded with love.“Viktor!” I called. Two days past my due date, I had trouble rising from the sofa without help, much less bend down to pick up Noah. Viktor hurried into the gaming room, alarm on his face. “Contractions?”I shook my head, stroking my belly. “Massimo seems pretty content in there. I really hope he comes soon. I feel like I’m bursting any day now.”Viktor slowly came over and spotted Noah still in his awkward position. He picked him up and raised him up over his head, much to Noah delight. He wasn’t a very vocal baby, definitely not as loud or boisterous as Ethan.“He was trying to stand,” I said. Viktor came toward the sofa, sank down beside me and set Noah down

Home birth

Aria POV Five days later, I gave birth to Matteo in a guest room of our mansion with Talia and Viktor help, the homebirth I’d always dreamed of.All pain was forgotten as I marveled at the little boy on my chest, at his crumpled face. He was a big baby with brown eyes and dark brown hair.Talia kissed my cheek. “He’s beautiful, Aria.” She was covered in sweat and blood, but was smiling.Viktor stood beside the bed, watching the doula who’d supported us, only ever so often glancing my and Matteo way. “Why don’t you try if he latches on?” Talia asked.Matteo was already squirming toward my breast and making small sucking motions. Talia helped me and after a few tries, he finally latched on.The doula left fifteen minutes later and shortly after Talia did too. Viktor bent over me, kissing my forehead. “You are so strong, Aria.”I raised my gaze from Matteo and smiled at Viktor. He gently covered Matteo back with his palm. “I’d always condemned people who accepted their fear, who didn’t

Mrs Conti

Alexei POV “I don’t understand.” Talia glares at me, her fingers digging into my jacket. “Where could you possibly have to go without us?”“One day, sweetheart.” My lips graze her forehead, and she shudders beneath my touch.“That’s all I’m asking.”“One day for what?” she croaks. “I don’t want you to go anywhere. I need answers, Alexei. You promised me that you would be opened to me in everything.”“Talia,” Dante interrupts, saving me from having this conversation right now. “Alexei has to go. He won’t be gone long. In the meantime, you can help me pick out some furniture for the house.”Talia looks set to argue, but I give her a quick kiss just as Ethan comes flying into our path, tugging at Talia leg. “Can we go swimming now?”“Take the boy swimming.” I squeeze her hand in mine. “And don’t be too pissed off at me. I’ll be back just as soon as I can.”Talia calls after me, but Dante steps in and gives me a moment to make a quick exit. It’s not that I want to leave her behind, but t

You Are Mine

Talia POV I’m sick with worry for the next day and a half but Dante knows where Alexei is. The times I’ve asked him directly, he’s told me it’s not a woman’s place to know “these dealings” in this man’s world, which is bullshit.I vacillate between anger and paralyzing fear. Anger at Dante and Alexei for their secrecy, fear that he’s gone to do another job but what if there’s more after this one? Frustration and worry have me in the kitchen at four in the morning, pouring myself a glass of vodka. I stand at the glass doors and look out into the vast back garden, the trees of the forest behind which is a twelve-foot solid wall topped with barbed wire.I wonder if either man would let me, though. A sound from inside the house has me turn toward the living room through which I can see the foyer. I hear the front door open and two men speak in hushed tones in Russian, and I find myself exhaling, thanking God.The door closes and quiet footsteps head to the stairs.I set my glass down o
