He glares at me as I grab a chair and put it before him. It's taking every ounce of control not to put a bullet in his head and leave this place, but killing him would be too easy. I take a seat on the chair.
“Who paid you to do this? I’ll pay you ten times what they’re giving you” He tries to reason, finally realizing how serious this is.
"Ten times?" I ask, pretending to be interested.m
"I'll pay you twenty, no thirty times, please.." William starts laughing, which makes me laugh.
“You hear that Gio, he’ll pay ten-thirty times.”
“I heard him, William; I guess his daddy’s very rich.”
“That's right; my father is the mayor, we can give you anything you want. So if you let me…..ahhhhhh” Before he can finish, I shoot him in his left leg again. He howls in pain as I put my gun back in my waist.
“I could buy and sell you a
The men meet, ohhhh.
I size him up as he approaches me—he is around 6,5, muscular, and certainly attractive. The bitter taste of jealousy settles over me as he reaches out to me for a handshake. I take his hand and shake it, squeezing it harder than usual, but his face remains relaxed. “Good Morning, Mr.Caputo, I hope I’m not imposing, but when Brandi told me she was cooking, I had to show up. I love her cooking as much as I love her....” He stops and smiles. As much as he loves her, what? They seem like they are more intimate than friends. What is she thinking inviting a man she is fucking to my house? I want to punch him in the face but instead plaster a fake smile on my face. “Not at all, follow me. The kitchen is through here.” I clench my jaw as I walk into the kitchen. I head for my seat as she gets up
Brandi I stand frozen, feeling as if I have an egg on my face as I watch him kiss someone else. Finally, he pulls away, and I realize I know this woman, Carina; she works at William’s sex shop or whatever the fuckk it is. I clench my fist, my chest burning with the bitterness of jealousy. He hasn’t answered my calls all day, nor has he replied to any of my texts, yet he shows up here with some woman and kisses her after telling me that he loves me. I frown as he stares lovingly into her eyes. Well, I guess we don’t have to worry about telling Gianna anything. It’s all for the best; I tell myself hoping I’ll believe it, but I can’t help feeling down and angry. I should confront him; I should tell him off, but what would I say to him? Why are you kissing her? I don’t own him. I frown and head back to the bar, deciding not to make a fool of myself. “Why did you turn back? J asks as I take a seat beside him.
Giovanni “I love you.” Time feels as if it’s stopped with only those three words from her lips. I never knew how much I needed to hear her say it until she did, and now all I want is for her to repeat it. She loves me; she loves me. She’s finally told me that she loves me. I slip my tongue out of her slowly and lift my head to meet those brown eyes. Eyes that use to empty before but are filled with warmth as she smiles at me. “Do you love me?” I ask, almost like a whisper, afraid to ask any louder because she may deny it. She bites her lips and averts her eyes. “Did I say that?” she asks, refusing to look at me. “You did.” “Perhaps your hearing is off; you are getting up in age.” “Did you just call me old?” I grab her jaw and kiss her roughly for a few seconds before pulling back. “You’ll pay for that tonight,” I whisper once I
The sensation between my legs stirs me from my sleep. I already know it’s him, so I keep my life eyes close as his tongue runs over my slit. I spread my legs wider as he buries his face in my core. Soft moans escape my lips, and my waist begins to thrust involuntarily. He licks his way up to my clit and starts sucking on it as he drags his fingers over my hot dripping center. My toes curl up as the pleasure mounts: my heart race, and skin burns from his touch, as he thrust his finger deep into my core. I cry out in pleasure, my legs shaking uncontrollably as he drives me wild with his tongue. I thrust my hips to match the stroke of his fingers, almost at my breaking my point. He moves from my clit and starts French kissing my vertical lips while he slips another finger into me. This pleasure threatens to drive me insane. I have had great sex before, but this is unlike any feeling I’ve ever felt. Is it because I love him…. “Hmmmmmm,”
Giovanni She turns and heads towards the door, and I quickly follow her. Admiring how her ass looks in those white pants. I groan, feeling the stirring in my loins. The urge to throw her over my shoulder and leave my mark on her is strong, but I know that will make her angry. So instead, I follow her into the kitchen as she grabs a cup of coffee; she takes two sips and heads to the door. “Aren’t you going to eat something? “I’ll grab something on the way.” “You should eat before you leave….”She sighs and spins. “Giovanni.” “Tesoro.” “Bambino, I’m an adult and have been for 8 years now. So I know how to take care of myself.” “I know I’m just….” “Worried. I know, but I’m fine, ok?” I nod reluctantly. “Good, I have to go.”
GiovanniI pull my head from the water and breath deeply. I watch Gianna and Carlos in one corner laughing. Lynn and her girlfriend Bella are by the pool catching some sun. I don’t know when they became a staple for Sunday dinner, but apparently, they are friends with Gianna and Brandi. Speaking of my woman, I glance at her by the grill in her two-piece, and man, it’s taking everything in me not to kick everybody out so I can spend the day making love to her, but she would be upset if I did. Since it was her idea to have this impromptu barbecue, we are currently throwing. She says it’s because she misses Gianna, but I think she’s trying to take a break from all the sex we’ve been having. For the last two days, we’ve barely left the bed, and right now, I regret agreeing to this party. Our eyes meet, and she smiles before turning back to the grill. She gorgeous can make my tool hard and my heart soft with just one look into those beautiful brown eyes. How did I get so lucky
*****I’m sitting in my office trying to sort through the paperwork. It’s been three days since Brandi opened up to me, as I’ve been doing everything I can to ensure she knows how much I love her. One of those things is visiting her office every day, well that’s more for my benefit than hers. I smile. Just thinking of her makes me so happy. I can’t wait to get this day over. I review the last document, sign in, drop it on the pile, and press the intercom.“Jill, I’m finished.”" Okay, I’ll come to get them.”I stand up and grab my jacket as she walks through the door.“In a rush?”“Yeah, I have plans.”“On the 17th floor?”She asks with a knowing smirk. I had been going up there every chance I get, but after yesterday Brandi banned me from coming until the day was over.“I’m not answering that; send the files,” I reply.“Do you
Gianna Two hours ago I walk out of the closet with a necklace in my hand and head over to Carlos, who is on the bed watching tv. “Babe help me?” “Huh?”He looks up and sees the necklace " Oh, sure thing, babe.” He says. He jumps up from the bed, takes it from my hand, and places it around my neck. He spends a couple of seconds fastening it. “Done.” “Thanks, sweet—-” Chills run through my body as his warm lips touch my neck. “Baby,” I moan softly, wanting to give in but know I can’t. I shift slightly, hoping he stops. “Babe, I have to meet Br
BrandiI sit in the chair waiting for the make-up artist to finish her work as my heart thunders in my chest. This is it. I’m getting married—I glance at the clock. Twenty minutes. I have been prodded, plunked, and tucked all morning, and now all I have to do is put on my dress and walk down the aisle to the man I love.“You’re still doing her make-up?” G asks as the door opens with a bang and she comes rushing in. She has been in a frenzy since this morning.“Hey, G. You look amazing,” I say as I admire the champagne, maid of honor dress she’s wearing. She stops and grins, then twirls to give me the full picture.“Don’t I—-wait. Don’t change the subject. Why is she still doing your make-up? It’s almost time.”“I asked her to change the eye shadow to something lighter,” I explain.“Oh, but we only have eighteen minutes.”“I’m almost done.” The make-up artist states.G paces back and forth. “How soon is almost? We only have seventeen minutes, and we need to get her dress on and do last
Meanwhile Brandi I pull the covers tight and reach for a handful of popcorn as I focus on the TV. After cleaning yesterday, I have been flipping between crying and watching movies and TV shows. Except for two hours today, G convinced to me get my hair done because the wedding is tomorrow. I hope it is tomorrow, but I’m still uncertain what will happen because I haven’t spoken to Tes since I told him he has until Sunday to figure it out. I don’t know what he’s thinking, even suggesting postponing the wedding. How could he think I need more time? I’m so angry and hurt, I want to hate him. I should hate him right now for putting me through this, but I can’t. I miss him. I ache for his arms holding me. I miss his smile in the morning. I miss our family. I sniff as tears stain my cheeks. “Are you okay? Do you need anything? Ice Cream?” Gia asks, pushing the tub of butter pecan to me. I sigh and grab the spoon and take a big bite. “Better?” I nod before taking another bite. “Your father
GiannaI pull in through the gate and look around, stunned at the lawn covered in furniture. What is all this? I wonder as I park the car. Are they moving? Neither Dad nor B said anything before this. I slip out of the car and grab my purse before heading to the door when I see Martha approaching.“Ms. Gia.” She says, smiling when she sees me.“Hey, Martha. Are Papi and B moving?”She shakes her head. “Mrs. Caputo woke up this morning, asked us to move the furniture outside, and started cleaning.” She explains.Mrs. Who? I furrow my brows when I realize she is talking about B. I guess she will be Mrs. Caputo in a couple of days. It feels so strange for her to marry Papi, but now I’m okay with it. Happy even, since he makes her happy, and they gave me two of the cutest brothers in the world. I smile, thinking of their chubby cheeks.“Ms. Gia?” Martha calls, pulling me from my thoughts.“Oh, B asked you to move them out?” She nods.“She was in a frenzy this morning about getting the hou
Brandi Twenty minutes ago I examine the sample of Birch wood on my desk. I like it, but I’m not in love with it like I am with the soft maple. I sigh. Why did the supplier have a shortage of the only wood I like? Well, it doesn’t matter. I have to choose one of these before the call. Shannon likes the ash, but ash is not durable enough and I want people to pass these on to their kids, not throw them out. I need another opinion. Maybe I should have had Tes stop by with dinner and help me decide. I pick up my phone to call him but hesitate when I remember how tired he was today. Tes is already stretched thin with taking care of the boys, last-minute wedding prep, and getting his company ready for his absence during our honeymoon. Although he never complains, I’m sure he is exhausted. His only being able to have sex once last night is proof. That man never falls asleep before going at it at least twice. It’s a good thing this project is almost complete. Once we’re done with picking th
I need to find a doctor, but how do I do it on such short notice? I pull out my phone to call Jorge my assistant.“Good Morning Boss. Are you coming into the office today?”“No. Jorge, I need a doctor.”“Oh, for what? Is Mrs, okay? My nephews?” He says, reacting as his usual dramatic self.“Fenice is fine, and so are the boys. I pulled my back last night and need to get it checked out. Can you find me a doctor? I need it today.”“I will be right on it.”“Thank you.”“You know. I had a problem once. I was in Colorado when my boyfriend at the time got a little rough. He was hitting it from the back. He can be a little rough.”“Jorge, is there a point to this story?”“oh right. So my back gave out. We were snowed in so I couldn’t see a doctor. I did yoga for two days. My back felt brand new by the time we left.”“So you’re saying I should try yoga?”“Exactly. I bet it will have you feeling brand new or you can go see those pill pushers who’ll pump you full of drugs and overcharge you.” I
GiovanniWilliam pulls into the driveway and sighs. We chased her as far as the traffic cameras could track, but we eventually reached a dead end when she took a back road with no cameras. She’s smart. I give her that and she is also striking to look at. I can see why William is enamored with her beauty, even though she is a thief.“What did she say to you?”“Huh?” I furrow my brows.“Brandi said she found you two together. Did she try to sleep with you?” He asks through clenched teeth. I can tell the thought of that pisses him off.“She walked in and pretended to be lost, then she fainted so I would catch her. I told her to drop the act and Fenice walked in. I don’t know if she would have tried.” My voice trails off as I see him getting noticeably angrier.“Don’t worry. You’ll find her.”“How many men will she have fucked and used by then?” His eyes flash angrily.“What does it matter?”“They are touching something that’s mine—” His voice trails off when he realizes what he’s saying.
I push the stroller towards the store about to go meet Amber and G, who invited herself last minute when she called this morning. “B.” I hear her call from behind. I turn slightly and see her coming fast, waving. “You brought them!” She squeals after seeing the stroller. “You wanted to see them. Here you go.” I push the stroller towards her and hand her their bag. “What’s all this?” “You asked me to bring them, so you’re going to look after them. I’m here to shop. Boys, your big sister will take care of you. Be nice.” I say, blowing each a kiss and then heading through the door of Hermes. “Wait. I don’t know.” I hear her behind me. “B, you can’t do this.” I sigh as she struggles to open the door while pushing the stroller. I roll my eyes and walk back to the door and hold it open while she pushes it inside. “Why didn’t you bring one of the nannies?” “They are off on weekends when Tes and I are free. You wanted me to bring them, so you’re the nanny today.” “What? All I wanted t
Brandi“Tes come on.” I fold my arms as I wait for him to exit the car. We went shopping, and he agreed we would each pick an outfit we wanted the other to wear and we get to choose the occasion it would be worn. He picked out a white dress and a matching lingerie set. The dress is to be worn to his birthday dinner next Tuesday and the lingerie for tonight. I picked an outfit for our date in the park. Dark washed jeans, a tight-fitting t-shirt with a black leader jacket, and combat boots. He has been complaining since he stepped out of the dressing room, but a deal is a deal. “Tes, come on,” I call again, growing impatient.“I don’t think is a good idea. I should go home and change.” He says, still sitting in the car.“We made a deal. You picked my dress and that string you want me wearing tonight. If you want to see me wear that tonight, come out of the car.” He frowns as he steps. I smile as I look at him. He does not know how good he looks, but I’m sure he’ll turn a few heads.“I
Brandi I take a sip of the shot, trying to pace myself because I already feel a little too good, and I know I’m on my way to being drunk for the first time in my life. I look at the shot and then watch as Gianna downs another one. Tonight reminds me of high school when she would get wasted, so I would have to take care of her. I guess some things never change. I put the glass down on the bar top. “No, no, no. What are you doing?” “I have already had five. You’re on your seventh.” “Eight. I brought you here to get drunk and party our asses off.” “One of us needs to stay sober and make sure nothing happens.” “We’re in Uncle Williams’ club surrounded by security. Nothing will happen.” “You never know-” “B, he’s gone. You can relax.” She says as she picks up and hands me the shot. She doesn’t say another word, instead; she turns back to the bar and orders more shots. I look at the shot in my hand as her words play in my head. I know she is talking about Colin. It’s true that in th
