“Yes sir” Maria abandoned the clothes she was still tending to and immediately disappeared in the direction of the nursery. His eyes are dark when he e holds a hand out to me “Come here.” My heart skips in my chest but I keep dancing slowly as though I am unaffected by the tone of his voice and the look in his eyes. Stark hunger. I feel heat in my cheeks, spreading down my chest, making the tips of my breast tingle. Now that we’re alone I exaggerate the movement of my hips bending slightly to fold two more clothes before I turned to him, looking at him from beneath my lashes “Want to dance with me swetie?” Any ounce of patie

Niko left moments after Caela calmed down that day, with him gone, I took a cold shower to calm down my raging hormones and made a note to inform Andrea to prescribe birth control the next time she comes by. For now, I placed an order for condoms. Scrolling to the bottom to click onextra largefeeling silly but something tells me Niko won’t hearwaitthe next time he has me beneath him. Best be prepared. The children must be having it in turns because Calea is up napping while Angel seems to think his lungs need the exercises, It's Saturday and the ladies are here for a visit, Maria has taken Sebby to the kitchen for a snack. And I try

Upstairs, I get a bottle and glass from the kitchen before making my way to the bathroom, I start the bath while undressing. Tossing in some bath bombs and rose oils to help me relax. I put my hair up in a loose bun, shoving about half a dozen bobby pins to hold it in place, and pour a generous portion of wine before stepping into the hot water. My headache felt better almost immediately. I make quick work of that glass and pour another one, sipping slowly this time. My eyes fall shut and I lean back against the tub. I must have dozed a little because when I opened my eyes Niko was kneeling by the tub, one hand disturbing the now lukewarm water “Sleeping inside the tub baby, should I ask Maria to start watching you again?” I poke my tongue at him before picking up my glass and drawing a sip of sweet wine. “I didn’t mean to doze off” “Maria tells me you weren’t feeling well” his fingers play with water but I'm so far away I dont feel anything.“Just needed a power nap is all.” I shru

I grimaced, “My goodness, was there an accident? I hope no one got hurt?” Fires are nasty, I shuddered just thinking about one I saw on the news a few weeks back, another reason I don’t watch the news, it’s full of sad depressing things, and while I feel for the innocent people getting hurt, it’s a lot to take. I paused looking back at Vincent my heart pounds in my chest. “An-and what does that have to do with Niko?” I was just asking about him and Vincent mentioned an explosion my brain began to work ten steps ahead was he-did he- I blinked repeatedly trying to find my voice, I ask slowly “…You think he was there?”No longer trying to smile, Tommy takes my hands, his eyes sharp “We don’t know, he was meant to inspect some shipments-“ His words do nothing to calm my rising anxiety, the floor moves from beneath me, only Tommy's hands on my arms around me or I'd have fallen, my stomach tightens and bile rises in my throat I pull from him “But he’s not answering his phone, you think so

“Here, let me take him” Maria offers, stretching her hands for Angelo, I shake my head, hugging him closer. Needing the comfort of holding my baby."You are agitating him Lola" She comes to take him again but I turn with him him my arms though I know she is right.“Shhh, my baby” I kiss his hair, “Mama isn’t crying okay, I’m sorry” he blinks wide blue eyes at me, blurry from tears. I lay his head to rest on my shoulder, patting his back gently, the action soothing me as well. My eyes fall shut and I pray. God, please bring him home to me. With a hand on my side, Maria leads me back to the chair. “I’m sure we will hear from them soon” and I nod in reply.Every few seconds my eyes fall to my phone, I want to pick it up and call Vincent but I reason that they may be in the middle of it and I could be distracting.It’s almost an hour later when I hear voices travel in through the partly opened door. Ivan goes to investigate the noise.My heart jumps to my throat, I get up slowly, my han

We kiss, my fingers tunneling in his hair, one hand grips the nape of my neck, the other bunches in my dress, pulling upward, he leans fully into me, thrusting his hardness into my belly. My mind finally returns to my body and I pull back slightly, “You are injured, w-we shouldn’t” His hands glide down my throat, the one on my nape combes through my hair, his soft lips place a sweet kiss on my right cheek, then the left, my hands grasp his sides softly, avoiding the bandage so I don't hurt him as he kisses the tip of my nose, a sigh leaves me, eyes falling shut as he kisses my lids then my forehead, his nose dragging over my skin and hair as he pulls me into him until there's not an inch of space between our bodies. “We absolutely should” He coaxed, hands caressing my skin lightly, my body awakens, the fright and upset taking a back seat as heat spreads across my skin, down my belly, settling between my legs. His skin feels so warm beneath my fingertips, and my palms go around his

I’m some ways, sex with Niko last night felt like being together again for the first time. I look at him now sprawled on the bed, a hand thrown over my middle, his face peacefully in sleep, long lashes against his cheeks.A push a strand of wavy hair from his forehead before moving back and out under his arm. I should let him sleep.Last night must have been hard. I send up a quick prayer in thanks that he is here with me. With our children before crawling out of the bed. A wide smile pulls at my lips as I see the discarded clothes on the floor. Not like I needed that to remind me of what happened last night.My body is all the reminder I need.I still feel him deep inside me.It was brilliant.Fuck. How I missed him.I am so glad we’re together again. I pick up my bra and lace panties on the floor followed by my dress. “Definitely skipping my work out this morning” i murmured. in the bathroom, they go in the hamper and I relieve my bladder before brushing my teeth.Smiling like a fo

I squirm against him, said pussy wet and throbbing for him, my nipple two aching points, I lean into him rubbing my breasts against his hard chest to gain some relief. “I know what I want for my reward” “Anything” he swears. Biting my lower lip, breathing in lungs full of his heady scent my eyes lower “You should stay home and take care of me today” When he nods his fingers trailing my dress up my thigh I add “And tomorrow” “Now you’re just being greedy” he chuckled against my neck, shrugging off his shirt, it falls to the floor behind him. The vibrations from his bare chest to mine make me squirm. I chase his lips with my own bringing his palm to my chest, cupping one aching breast with my hand over his, his fingers squeeze me of their own accord, and I gasp in pleasure into his mouth. Throbbing so painfully I feel close to combusting when his fingers find my nipples. His other hand slipping underneath my dress he pushes me against the only bare wall in the closet, “How do you

My uncle was right, everything will change from now on, the Grecos, Mendoza, and the Oriente arms of the New York Families are no more. Though we weren't particularly friendly with the other two, it wasn't required for the business. The Greco’s however have always been closely allied with the Salvatores, it wasn’t because of that friendship that Julio was my father's right hand and his father before him, as capo it was my decision to choose my right hand, but for decades, that honor belonged to the Greco’s, until Julio fucked it up. With them gone, there is a gap, in the prominent families, and someone needs to take over for the business to run smoothly. As things settled, I just wanted some peace to be with my family, my children, I already missed so much. It was something I would never retreat, I kept them safe. I did what had to be done, even though it hadn't been my Knife in their throat or my orders. My actions lead to their deaths. And their deaths created a power vacuum, one

**“We have to leave here, get to another safe house we don’t know who else- this place has been compromised” Arms wrapped under my arms trying to pull me away. I was staring blankly at the Man I'd grown so close with. I didn't know what to do.“We can’t leave him here” Tears spilled down my cheeks. “You think I want to leave him? He was like a father to me, but I have to protect you, he would want you to get to safety”“Miguel…”“Now Lola, Now." he shook me "We have to-“ a phone ringing cuts off the rest of his words. Miguel bends down and searches through Matteo’s jacket to retrieve his phone. I crawl back to him lifting his head into my lap, spatches of blood stained my jeans as I run my fingers through his hair. “Please Matteo open your eyes,” I begged softly.He couldn’t be gone. He felt warm despite the blood pooled on the ground beneath him, he couldn’t be gone. He couldn’t...“It’s Matteo…” I hear Miguel say to the other person on the phone “He’s gone” is all Miguel says

I straightened at the sound of a car pulling closer. I know it isn’t Miguel as he’s in the next room, slowly tiptoeing to one of the windows and pushing back the curtains, “Lola don’t do that-“ “It’s Matteo” I gasped in recognition at the dark hair and family face of the man that exists the drive's seat. “It’s Matteo” I repeated “He’s here!” I announced as my heart began to race in my chest. “Stay here, stay down” Miguel ordered, as he headed to the door a gun in hand. I remained at the window, clutching my rounded belly with a shaky hand, the other fisted around the thick curtains as I tried to listen to their exchange. It went on for about half a minute but it was too long and then Miguel crossed back to the porch, he disappeared from my line of sight, and I moved to the door. The bottom of my oversized jeans dragged on the floor over my bare feet as I had left the zipper undone to accommodate my large bump. I’m standing behind the door when it opens and Miguel says “It’

“That puta was whoring around dirtying the family line-“ she gurgles, choking as red spills from a thin line across her throat. A hand flew to her neck eyes wide in shock. No one was allowed to speak of that, I took pains in ensuring it remained that way. The consequences would be devastating. I look at the blade in my hand then swipe the napkin beside her tea set to wipe the little blood at the end. I turned around and came to a stop at the dark figure at the entrance. Fuck. “Is it true what she said?” I observe his stance, the pistol hanging loosely at his side, my brows furrowed as I tried to figure out how long he’s been standing there, how much he heard, I let out a sigh, “Tommy…” He sucked in a deep breath, his empty hand clenching into a shaky fist. “Did you know?” Tommy asked calmly. I grit my teeth and wipe the blade once more, then I return it to the sheath strapped to my wrist, soothing down my sleeves to keep it hidden. I turned to my brother fully and asked “Wh

Bang! Bang! Bang!!! Gunshots sound as I make my way down the hall of an Italian-styled penthouse. The enemy tries to return fire, but they are quickly overwhelmed by my men. Martino Greco led me to Valentina's hideout like a mouse to the cheese. Pained grunts and shocked yells followed by the thuds of bodies heating the ground, and then quiet. Hmm. I walk in smooth strides past pools of blood, bodies littering the polished wooden floors noting the soldiers Valentina called from her mansion in Italy, I frown at the sight of a falcon tatted on one of the fallen men’s forearms, seems she hired some mercenaries also. Splendid. Last night Valentina sent her men to Mendoza and Orinete households while they slept and took them out in one swell move. It is why I can break in with little to no resistance, half of her man power is gone. Danilo inclined his chin at me then motioned up silently a gun in hand, corked and still at the ready. Chase and Emilio stand beside him each o

I stared out the window on the ride back. Like the two times we’ve gone out, I remain in the car while he checks the property, when he signals all clear I open my door and move to the back to get the kids. Miguel goes around the other side and gets started on Angelo’s seat, he undoes the strap holding the child to the seat and then unhooks the chair fully so he can take it inside. “Want to tell me what happened at the clinic?” he questions as we walk. I shook my head nothing. “You don’t really expect me to believe that do you?” “What makes you think I did anything." “Excluding the fact that you looked guilty as hell when we got back, there’s a tear glued to your lashes" he pointed one end of his bottled water at me, "Why were you crying” We entered the cabin and I unstrapped the kids to let them run free. “I just needed to use the bathroom quickly” I paused helping Angelo to his feet. “I called him” I admitted. His expression remains unchanged. “You don’t seem surprised

NIKO That evening I left using one of the hidden exist. There's a car parked under the bridge, I pull up behind it, leaving the engine still running as I look out the window, moments later a male form, wearing a black oversized coat blowing the wind takes long steps in my direction as far as his short legs can carry him, the side door opens and he drops down beside me, the smell of tobacco that follows him where ever he goes fills the car. I make no effort to his my frown. Excluding the fact that it was a shitty habit that kills the liver, I imagine it would make stealth impossible if they can smell you from a mile away. And I preferred to leave no traces, unless it was a warning that is. I have half the mind to ask him to exit my vehicle before he saturates it with his unpleasant smell but I need him tonight so I decided to play nice. “How did it go?” Martino Greco smacks his lips once, “Just as you expected boss, Maxim sent another offer, I did as you said while showing some

LOLA I’ve been teaching my twins simple words and pointing out items around the house for them. I once read that kids need contact with other people and other kids to stimulate growth, and I’ve been doing what I can to fill that role. "Nana" Angel mumbled pointing at the banana when Miguel walked past eating a banana last night.It is also his favorite fruit. Micaela liked peaches.I also roped Miguel into watching some soap operas airing every evening with me so I’d have something to look forward to and someone to discuss with. Soap operas were always better when you had someone to discuss them with. He acts like he hates them but I swear he secretly enjoys them. He finds it hard to understand the motives of the main antagonists and often wonders why the ‘good guys’ give so many chances.No one is that inherently good. Miguel had said when the main female character got played for the fourth time in twenty episodes. It's plain stupidity. he added his two cents, I shook my head with

NIKO -Months later... “Who can we count on?” Tommy asked his chin on his jaw. In front of me at the other side of the desk Matteo cleared his throat and the other turned to him, “Brenadi, Orisi, Ajello, the Sances are a given" he tips his head. With Chase one of my trusted enforcers the head of the Sances family, it was a given, I trusted him to keep his house in check, the others however, "The others will need more convincing" Matteo added voicing my exact thoughts. “That’s four out of twelve” Vincent grunted unable to hide his displeasure. “How can Valentina have eight over us, the bitch has been in Italy for almost three decades," Tommy growls. “Exactly, lots of families owe her favors, she ran this family before us with an iron fist and she never fully removed her claws while my brother was capo, that’s nearly four decades of loyalty from the New York families. "Enough time to amass a fortune's worth of secrets and debts to call in, moreover, a number of the men are too sca
