When Tash walked in wearing the short, sparkly silver dress it took their breath away, she looked stunning, her hair was loose tumbling down her back in a riot of golden red curls and she had even put on a little makeup. Standing by the dining room door she hesitated when they all turned to look at her in astonishment,‘’I’m sorry Kelly, I’m ridiculously overdressed, I’ll go and change’She blushed to the roots of her hair and turned to flee hugely embarrassed, it was Luigi who jumped up and stopped her,‘Please join us Natasha, you look amazing, it is us who should be ashamed we cannot hope to match your beauty’He kissed her hand and sat her between him and Antonio who was completely blindsided by the stunning woman. Luigi chatted with her for a bit until she settled and did not look like she was going to run back to her room. The maids served the food and there was plenty of wine and champagne Kelly told Luigi to keep Tash’s glass topped up and the ploy worked. She got a little tip
So they told him and then explained why she had insisted Kelly’s whereabouts were kept a secret when he turned to go he said,‘Kelly had nothing to fear from me, and I am quite sure that by now Tash has told her that the Twins are dead, she need live in fear no longer both of them are free of those barbarians.’ John-Joe replied earnestly,‘ Well that is good news all around, they were pure evil but Romero’The Don stopped as he was about to leave and turned to face them.‘We are coming with you’Romero nodded and they quickly packed a suitcase with the necessities following him into the limousine that raced through town to a small airport where his private jet was waiting to take off. It taxied down the runway as soon as they had fastened their seatbelts and an hour later the pilot received his clearance to land in Mexico. It was late afternoon when they got into the two black SUVs headed out of the airport and set off into the countryside for Luigi and Kelly’s ranch.Tash stood loo
All his beef and lamb would be bought for the ‘Family’ at top prices, the other goods he produced would also be found by purchasers. He was setting them up for life, they would become extremely rich and he promised it would be in a legal written contract. Luigi was stunned he had worked for the Mafia most of his adult life and he had never known a Don, least of all, THE Grand Don, to do so much for one of their workers.‘Dopo quello che hai passato amico mio credo che la mafia ti debba un grande debito’ [After what you have been through my friend I believe the Mafia owes you a great debt.]Romero told him and smiled,‘Ne avrai bisogno se continui a creare Figli così belli e sani’ [You will need it if you keep creating such fine healthy Sons]Luigi smiled back proudly it had just been confirmed that the baby in Kelly’s womb was another boy,‘Temo che saranno le mie figlie ad averne bisogno se saranno qualcosa di simile alla loro Madre’ [I fear it will be my daughters who need it if the
‘Mr Guesippe, can you please check this for me’The Nurse asked the Consultant to check her work and he frowned and then said to her,‘Would you mind lying back down young lady I just need to check something’Tash lay back and he ran the scanner over her stomach clicking buttons and adjusting things before turning to them.‘Well that is a turn-up, not something we see every day for sure’He said and Romero frowned,‘What is wrong? Why did you do all those checks?’He asked anxiously and the man laughed,‘I had to be sure. I am pleased to tell you in about five months maybe a little less, you will be welcoming identical Twin boys into your family’They were stunned into silence,‘Twins?’Tash began to cry in earnest,‘No, no this is wrong, it cannot be. I never let them penetrate me, I am so sorry.’Romero scooped her up and held her tightly,‘Stop, stop my little beauty it is okay, baby, they are my Twins’She hiccuped and looked at him,‘Your Twins?’‘My Papa, he was a twin, and his
She did now know that being Romero’s wife excluded her from these events, she was supposed to organize events for others not attending Capo events. Franco, Romero’s second took it upon himself to ‘educate’ her on her role. None of it worked, Tash was ill during all of her pregnancy, and every morning she was sick, it was rare but not unusual for this to happen. The hospital kept a close eye on her so on top of all her other duties she had weekly appointments with her Obstetrician and she was exhausted. For the first few weeks, Romero helped her but by the time she was seven months he was called away more often than at home, there was a big deal going down and he was required to supervise it. She missed meetings and appointments all she wanted to do was sleep and she resented Franco telling her what to do. Tash had a temper and she exploded after Franco tried to tell her something for the third time,‘Will you fucking back off’She screamed at him making all the Capos and servants stop
He held them both and felt a profound sense of love so deep he could not explain it, Kissing their downy heads he said softly,‘I will protect and love you always ‘When he went to see Tash she was in an induced coma they had decided it was for the best to let her rest and recover from the birth and allow her body to heal.Tash woke up a few days later feeling strange something was missing, she was disorientated and weak and her Consultant decided it was in her best interests not to say anything about the Twins until she was stronger. They were week old when her mind cleared and she remembered,‘What happened?’She asked looking at the Obstetrician Consultant and then running her hands down her almost flat stomach,‘My, my babies’She whispered with a sob and Romero caught her in his arms,‘Oh baby girl don’t worry, they are fine, more than fine they are thriving, we just wanted you to get better before we explained.’She sat back looking at him frowning,‘Why don’t I remember?’The
‘Rest baby girl, I will send Kelly up in a little while, right now you need to sleep’He was right she curled up under the duvet and was asleep before he left the room and that’s how the next few days went, if she wanted to see Kelly she had to do as he instructed. Kelly was warned that she could only stay for an hour at a time and she understood when she saw Tash, she was exhausted even though they chatted excitedly as soon as she sat down after half an hour her eyes were closing.Strangely she did not ask to see the Twins and Romero did not suggest it, she was so fragile he wanted to wrap her in bubble wrap and keep her away from everyone and everything. The Twins were a month old before she felt strong enough to challenge him, she was feeling much better and fed up with being cooped in their room.‘I want to come downstairs today’She told him as he was about to leave and he stood in the doorway his eyes narrowed,‘I will ask the Consultant to call and check you are well enough. If
He snarled at them and the sassy Lawyer stepped forward and handed him another Court Order.‘Actually, you have no rights, Sir. Your ex-wife has filed for divorce on the grounds of your own physical and mental cruelty. She has told us how you have kept her in a locked room since the birth of your children and that you have kept her away from them. That alone is grounds to have you arrested and charged.’Romero stepped back unable to process what he had done, he knew he had gone too far and he had intended to apologize and beg her forgiveness, he wanted them to be a family. He had fucked up, here had royally fucked up, and just as the FBI turned to leave she delivered her killer blow,‘Oh and Sir the young lady was adamant we told you this, if you break any of these limitations she has put in place then she will turn state evidence and give us all the information we need to destroy your whole organization’They left his office and he sat with his head in his hands Franco said nothing b
Lifting his head he locked his eyes onto hers, ‘No, Tash, no, you are wrong, you are the most important thing in my life, you are the very air I breathe. Baby girl you are my everything. I love you with every cell in my body.’ He kissed her again more savagely pressing her to him determined to break the ice she had built around her heart and she could feel his arousal. She wanted to give in to him, her body screamed for him to ravish her right there in front of his Capos she did not care but she pushed him away, ‘How many times have you said that to me Romero and how many times have you broken my heart?’ He growled then did what her body had been craving he picked her up and slung her over his shoulder taking the stairs two at a time he demanded, ‘Your bedroom’ With a squeak of alarm, she pointed and he pushed open the door and tossed her onto the huge four-poster bed then slammed and locked her door. Leaning against it he growled again, ‘Take off your clothes’ He ordered and s
He hiked up her skirt and pushed her legs apart,‘Good girl’He said and thrust his hard cock into her, Tash cried out, she was so wet and aroused she almost came as he thrust harder slamming into her so deeply he hit her g-spot and she shattered around him squeezing him until he followed her into orgasm. He picked her up and carried her over to the bed tugging off her dress he lay her down and trailed kisses down her body. He moved over her breasts and down her belly spreading her legs he licked and sucked and nipped and bit until she was writhing beneath him.‘Please, oh God please,’She begged as he raked his teeth over her clit,‘Do you want to come little Duchess?’He teased as she arched her back and gripped his biceps,‘Yes, please yes yes’She bucked and raked her nails down his back,‘Come for me now Natasha’Her scream of pleasure could be heard by his guards and they smiled at one another, they had been under no illusions as to why the hot little Duchess had turned up at th
Slipping into the cubicle she hitched up her dress and removed her sodden panties, leaning against the door she gave herself the relief she craved coming hard against her fingers. Half an hour later she opened the door and rejoined the royal party cool and composed with not a hair out of place she made her way to the Royal Couple and made her excuses relieved when they gave her their permission to leave early. She allowed the footman to show her out to her car just as Havard came back into the room and spotted her. Getting into the chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce she told him to leave immediately and there was nothing Harvard could do as the car slid silently away into the night.‘You can run little English Rose but tomorrow I will take what is mine.’This is what Romero saw as the handsome Norwegian Prince helped the beautiful English Duchess into the royal carriage and then climbed in to sit beside her. The British crowds cheered as the carriages passed them and Romero flipped open his
They settled into a routine, the children had their private tutor and a huge castle as their playground instead of Capos they had servants and it was only a matter of weeks until their American accents were replaced by the cut glass accents of the Royal family. Lady Natasha became a recluse, she caught up with everything that was required of her regarding the castle and then just stopped. They would find her sitting in the library an open book untouched on her knee gazing outside at nothing, she never smiled and rarely spoke to anyone it was clear she was suffering. Her eyes were red-rimmed and her skin was grey, she did not eat much and she never went outside. Danilo and Reuben were worried she was fading away before their eyes and they could not understand why Romero did not come for her and their children,‘What is fucking wrong with him?’Reuben exploded as they watched Lady Natasha drift from one room to another like a little lost soul.Romero did not come for her because he had
Romero was on his feet,‘Nothing, nothing is more important than her, she knows that she knows she is my life, I love her so much.’‘Do you?’John-Joe countered,‘Then why have you ignored her for six months? Why have you kept her away from her children, again? That’s not how you treat someone you love Romero especially someone as fragile as Natasha, after all she has been through for you.’Romero, Franco, and Luca stared at the old man before he could tell them more one of the Capos came running into the office dragging the Nanny with him, Danilo and Reuben had taken the children, and she was dumped a couple of miles away.’He indicated the Nanny was crying,‘What the fuck?’Romero grabbed her and shook her,‘Tell me exactly what happened,‘She started to cry harder and Franco peeled his hands off the terrified girl,‘It’s okay, Louisa, we know it’s not your fault, please take a breath and try to explain.’She looked at the second and then at Romero,‘We were at the park, we go most
It also meant she was not seeing her children again, after all the problems she had struggled past she had built a wonderful relationship with them. She loved them and was fiercely protective spending all her free time playing with them. She taught the boys to swim and then bought ponies so she could take them out riding with her. She had worked hard to become a good Mama and in return her children adored her because she was not afraid to get down to their level and play. It seemed that Romero had ripped that all away from her again but when she returned from riding out with the ranch's cowboys she had come to a decision.‘I’m not going to let him do that to me again.’She said determinedly her emerald eyes flashing,‘If he doesn’t want me, well that’s up to him but he is not keeping my children this time. I have done nothing wrong and I am their Mother.’Marianne tried to intervene,‘Tash doesn’t do anything you might regret, you don’t know why Romero hasn’t come to the ranch, he may
He whispered to the older man,‘Let her stay with my Marianne, she’s a strong girl, she won’t be a victim, I promise she just needs a little time.’He gave her the space to recover but the nightmares did not stop they got worse and everyone's sleep was broken when her screaming started. It was exhausting for all his staff, the servants were tired before they started work and his Capos could barely concentrate, the only ones who slept through it were the children. Thankfully, all the children slept through peacefully undisturbed and carried on their days without a care playing nosily in the park he had created for them to enjoy in safety. Christmas was a subdued affair, they all put on a front for the children and the house looked like Santa’s workshop they had so many gifts but the adults were tired and their tempers frayed a little at times. It wasn’t what any of them had wanted and it was Kelly who approached him on the second of January, they were all beyond tired with huge gray
Almost leaping out of his arms she ran into Marianne and John-Joe's eager hugs,‘You stayed, you stayed’She cried happily before turning to Kelly and Luigi,‘OMG, this is going to be the best Christmas ever.’She was laughing and crying and hugging them until Romero stepped in and scooped her up again,‘That’s enough baby girl, you still need to rest. Come on, we’ll see these guys at dinner tonight.’He carried her up to their room ignoring her pleas to stay a little longer and placed her on their bed,‘Rest’He commanded and chuckled when she pouted at him,‘You are lucky you just got out of the hospital or I would put you across my knee for that.’She looked up at him through her golden lashes then bit her bottom lip teasingly,‘Oh, I don’t think you should be making promises you can’t keep Romero, hospital or no hospital.’Tash squealed in alarm as he crawled up the bed over her body his eyes locked onto hers,‘I always keep my promises.’He growled and kissed her hungrily,‘Now g
She managed softly frowning at him and he rewarded her with his gorgeous sexy smile,‘I thought I’d lost you, baby girl.’He kissed her again and she smiled up at him,‘No, you will never lose me.’She said her eyes drooping and he stroked a finger along her bottom lip,‘Rest now beautiful, I’ll be here when you wake up again.’She drifted back to sleep and he stood up turning to find Kelly and Luca crying in each other arms,‘Go home, let them all know the good news, and in the morning send Franco back with the children.’ Romero did not leave her, he was so scared of losing her again that he could not bear to let her out of his sight, she would open her eyes and smile at him.‘Hello again’He grinned at her,‘I’m not leaving you alone’He told her,‘When I leave you alone you get into far to much trouble so from now on you are staying by my side.’She reached up her hand and stroked his face,‘I love you.’She whispered resting her cheek into his palm, she could only stay
