Yours On The Dotted Line Chapter 31
I wake up in a different bedroom than I’m used to, but I can smell Dante’s cologne, so I know I’m still in my house. There’s an arm slung across my waist, holding me close to a hard body. I feel warm breaths tickling my neck, a soft snore buzzing in my ear.Then my eyes snag on the clothes strewn across the entryway—and it all comes rushing back.FUCKED. DANTE.Oh my god.And now it’s his arm wrapped around me.Shit. This was not in the plan. I wasn’t supposed to do this so soon. It was supposed to be about getting pregnant, not... five mind-blowing orgasms just because it felt good.I facepalm—hard.No time to wallow. I need to get the hell out of this bed. I glance at the clock. I have about an hour to get dressed and to work. I just can’t deal with this right now.I slowly wiggle out from under Dante’s arm, pausing every few inches to make sure he doesn’t wake up. He stirs a few times and once tries to pull me back in, but I manage to replace myself with a pillow. I’m out of the bed

For a second, I just stare at him—shocked, a little turned on… then a lot angry.I plant both hands on his chest and shove him back. “What the actual fuck is wrong with you?” I whisper-yell. For one, I don’t need an office audience. And two, the angrier I get, the quieter I get.I’ve been told it’s unsettling.Good. I want to unsettle him.“Newsflash, asswipe. You don’t get to disappear for two weeks, come back drunk to fuck me, and expect me to be head over heels,” I hiss.“You’re my fucking wife. When I bed you, I expect you to be there when I wake up,” he nearly shouts, getting right in my face.“And why the fuck is that? You don’t own me! We’re married on paper. That’s all. We can’t even stand to be around each other for more than a few hours!”He grabs my upper arms and yanks me flush against him. “You know we’re more than that, cara mia. This thing between us has been building since the beginning.” He leans down, whispering against my lips, “And I’m not going to let you walk away

“The hell you will,” Dante spits, rage lighting up his features.“Fucking hell,” I mutter, shutting my laptop. “Dante, I really don’t have time for this. This is a business meeting with someone who just happens to be an old friend—”“Friend?” Gabbi cuts in, a smirk spreading across his face. “Is that what we’re calling it these days?”A growl rumbles from Dante’s chest, and I roll my eyes.“One, Gabbi—not helpful. Two, Dante, cut the shit. This is my job. A job, I’ll remind you, that your father gave me. So back the hell off, go do whatever it is you do during the day, and we can argue about our sex life at home,” I snap.Grayson snickers from the door where Gabbi brushed past him. He stage-whispers, “That’s my favorite little ballbuster.”Gabbi’s still wearing that smug, shit-eating grin like he knows something we don’t. And Dante? Dante looks like he’d murder everyone in the room if he could.Which… makes me wonder why he’s this pissed about me leaving this morning.Well. That and a

I don’t know how Gabbi does it, but he gets us a table at Daniel’s. I know Daniel is supposedly a great friend of Gabbi’s family and all, but the place has a waitlist that’s months long. It makes no sense that Gabbi can get us in on such short notice.But here we are—in the opulent kitchen, seated at the coveted chef’s table.The second Daniel sees us, he comes over and sweeps me into a hug, kissing my cheeks in the European way.“Quinn! It’s been so long. Look at you—beautiful as ever. Isn’t she beautiful, Gabriele?”“More beautiful every time I look at her,” Gabbi says, and I can’t help the blush that rises to my cheeks.But Daniel doesn’t stop there. He adopts a stern expression. “How could you not come see me in all this time?”“I’m sorry, Daniel. It just... hurt, you know?” I tell him softly.“Oh, I know, sweet girl,” Daniel says, kissing my cheeks again. Then he turns to Gabbi with an even more stern look, shaking a finger in his face. “It’s your fault I haven’t seen my favorite

Josiah was waiting for me when Gabbi and I came out of Daniel’s together. Daniel had packaged a cooler of desserts for the workers at my office and made me make two more reservations within the next month to ensure I’d see him again.“Hey, Josiah. What’s going on?” I ask as we step out of the restaurant. He’s always around, but usually in the shadows. I typically see him in the mornings right before I leave and then again in the evenings—not in between.“Nothing. I was just told to make sure you got back to the office okay,” Josiah says, giving me a smile, then glaring at Gabbi.I roll my eyes. “Let me guess—Dante?”Josiah gives me a wide grin. “The Don would also like for you to call him ASAP.”That gets my attention—and gives me the perfect reason to leave Gabbi’s company. I loved him long ago, but his constant flirting and innuendo… it’s too much. Especially after I already told him no.I turn to Gabbi. “I’m sorry. I should really head back alone if I’m supposed to speak with Rafel.

I am a very strong woman. I think that’s evident by my take-no-prisoners attitude in deals, how I work with others, and the way I’ve handled this whole marrying-into-the-Luciano-family thing. But I love me a man who can take charge in the bedroom.And Dante seems like the man to do it.My pulse is racing, my lips suddenly dry as I look Dante in the eye and start to unbutton my blouse. He watches every movement I make, his gaze hungry as my bra and full cleavage are slowly revealed. I pull my shirt out of my skirt and drop it to the floor. I quickly unzip my skirt, and it falls to the floor as well. My bra and panties follow in quick succession. I’m about to step out of my heels—just letting my panties rest on top of them—when Dante stops me. “Leave the heels on. Go stand in front of the sofa.” I bite my lip and do as he says. Dante follows behind me, though his pace is much slower—like he’s stalking me. It makes something quiver low in my belly, and I can feel the slick between m

It’s Sunday at 7:00, and we’re sitting down for the meal with Dante’s family, as outlined in the contract, for the first time.After Dante’s act of jealousy with Gabbi—and the subsequent transcendent sex a few days ago—he pulled his disappearing act again. I haven’t seen him, haven’t even heard from him beyond the text reminding me about dinner tonight. We even came to his parents’ house separately.Honestly, I don’t know why I was surprised. This is Dante’s MO. He lets a little bit of his feelings out and then proceeds to do everything he can to deny it. It honestly isn’t surprising, just... disappointing.Too bad for him, he missed the window where I was ovulating, so there’s no more guaranteed sex for him this month.I’ve made the decision that I’m not going to deny myself sex with Dante. A girl has needs, and Dante definitely knows what he’s doing in the bedroom. But I’m also not going to feel obligated to sleep with him outside of what the contract mandates.Why should I punish my

The Don stares at me and, on the inside, I’m freaking the fuck out. The man is scary, and he’s put me in charge of a major deal for his company. And if there’s anything I’ve learned about people you're making money for—it’s that you don’t fuck with the money.But on the outside, I keep my calm, businesslike mask in place.Don’t ever let them see you sweat.Wiping his mouth and taking a sip of wine, the Don asks, “And why aren’t you pursuing a relationship with Gabriele? You were in love, weren’t you?”I put my fork down and wipe my mouth with my napkin, buying time to ease the spike of anger that runs through me. Pushing back in my seat, I turn toward the Don.“I’d love to say that that information is none of your business, but I suppose you could argue that any extracurricular relationship I might have would be your concern most of all.”Dante grunts at that, and I can feel his glare on me—but I ignore him. Just like he’s been ignoring me since we had sex.I’m not petty. I’m practical

Bora Bora. Our final night. Our favorite kind of storm.“DANTE!” I scream, my fingers curling into his hair, holding him against me as I ride his face.His mouth is locked onto my clit, sucking and tugging just right, while his fingers curve inside me with that relentless, perfect come here motion.I’ve only ever squirted with Dante—and even then, it’s rare. It takes that crushing, desperate kind of need, the one only he can stir up. It’s different than a typical orgasm—pressure building until it feels like I might break—but the release… God, the release is so fucking good. It leaves me limp. Soaked. Ruined in the best way.He knows what he’s doing to me right now. From the way his fingers stroke my g-spot, he’s trying to make sure I’m blissed-out and limp when he finally fucks me.His moan vibrates through me, and I clench hard around his fingers. I can feel the wave rising—hot and fast and inevitable.My grip tightens in his hair, probably painful by now, but he just groans louder, d

Back in Bora Bora. The water. The fire. The man I love.Dante chases me into the ocean—not that I can get very far. Or want to.He’s stripped off everything, tossing his clothes in a careless heap on the sand. The last thing I see flying is his Versace watch, sailing somewhere in the general direction of his pants.Then he’s sprinting into the water after me.I make it to about hip-deep before Dante catches me.“Fuck, cara mia, you’re so sexy,” he growls, his hands immediately on me. He starts with my stomach—tender, reverent—before sliding down to my ass to yank me against him, then up to my breasts, cupping them through the water. “I need you.”“You have me, baby,” I murmur, teasing. “What are you gonna do with me now that you’ve caught me?”He chuckles darkly. “Anything I want.”His hand fists in my hair, pulling just enough to tilt my head back. Then his mouth crashes onto mine, full of heat and dominance.God, I love when he takes control like this. It melts me, makes me ache to g

One week after the spa day. Four and a half months pregnant.“Mama! I want to go play in the pool! Let me go!”Freddie is squirming all over the place, trying to break free from my arms so he can bolt out the kitchen door into the backyard of the Luciano estate.Okay, I can’t blame him. I’ve been holding him for five solid minutes, not quite ready to let go.“Topina, you have to let him go. We’re going to miss our flight,” Dante murmurs against my shoulder, his breath low and warm, sending a shiver straight down my spine.“You own the plane,” I pout. “What’s the point of owning a private jet if you can’t leave when you want?”I know he’s right, though. I need to let Freddie go.But this is the first time I’ll be away from him for longer than a weekend—and he’s always just been a short drive away, staying with Grayson and Rocco, or Emily and Josiah, or Nonna and Nonno. This time, I won’t be able to just jump in the car if he needs me.I finally let him wiggle free, and he sprints outsid

Four months pregnant. One week from our anniversary.After my spa day with Bianca, I went to Freddie’s preschool to pick him up. He runs straight out the door and launches himself into my arms.“Mommy! Mommy! I’m so excited!” he cries as I catch him and hold him tight.I won’t be able to pick him up much longer. At four months pregnant, my OB-GYN would probably have a heart attack if she saw me carrying him right now. But it’s something I know I’ll miss. I’ve decided to carry him until our anniversary next week—when I hit the five-month mark.Yes, it’s completely arbitrary. But I made the decision. And I’m sticking to it.“Hello, amore. How was your day? What’s got you so excited?” I ask as I shift him on my hip and start walking toward the car.Josiah, standing nearby with Emilio, clucks his tongue when he sees me carrying Freddie. But he doesn’t say anything—smart man. Experience has taught him that arguing with a pregnant woman is a fool’s game.“School was great! Conner found a b

One month later…When I first met Bianca, I thought she was stuck-up, petty, and materialistic. I honestly would’ve bet money that she’d want a black-tie affair—no kids allowed—in the most expensive and exclusive venue in all of New York.Now that I really know her, I couldn’t have been more wrong.Yeah, the girl loves to shop. And yeah, she’s never been spotted without her red-bottomed shoes and a Kate Spade bag. But when it comes to what really matters? Bianca is all about family.“Honestly, Quinn, I’d love to just go down to City Hall with the family and then go out for dinner. But you know Papà won’t allow that,” she groans.It’s been a month since my brother proposed, and despite Emilia’s best efforts to drag Bianca into full wedding-planning mode, she’s managed to dodge every attempt so far.Today, we’re having a spa day. Facials, massages, pedicures, and soon manicures. And while we’re soaking our feet, I plan to get to the bottom of this.It took years for Stefan to get to the

Three years later…“Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday, dear Freddie! Happy Birthday to you!”My beautiful little boy—Frederico “Freddie” Dante Luciano—is three years old today. We’re surrounded by family, friends, and sugar-high toddlers, standing in a place I never thought we’d reach.Of course, the second we finish singing and Freddie blows out his candles, he immediately shoves his whole hand into the cake and shouts, “It’s chocolate cake! Mommy got me chocolate cake!”“Oh, Freddie! That was for everyone! You can’t put your hands in it,” I scold gently.“You say that like you don’t have two other cakes in the kitchen, cara mia. Let the boy enjoy his cake,” Dante says, wrapping his arm around me and kissing the top of my head.“Then you can be the one to put him to bed tonight,” I reply, earning loud laughter from Emily, who’s holding her and Josiah’s two-year-old daughter, Violet.“MAMA!” Freddie shouts, not at all pleased with my attention being elsewhere

Quinn’s POVRocco stares at me, completely gobsmacked. “W-w-what do you mean?”I roll my eyes. “Do you really think Grayson wouldn’t tell me everything? Especially after I caught the two of you fucking in the bathroom! Why are you keeping my best friend a secret?”“I’m not!” Rocco insists—but it’s clear neither of us believes that.I don’t even dignify it with a response. I just fold my arms over my very full boobs and even fuller belly and glare at him.“I’m not ashamed of being with Grayson!” he repeats, eyes wide and desperate. “I just…” His words trail off, like even he doesn’t know how to explain it.I glance around and realize we’re in an office. Thank God. I can’t stand for long without the baby pressing on my hips and making my legs go numb. I grab a chair and sink down, eyes locked on my brother-in-law as he begins to pace.“My family knows I’m gay,” he starts. “I came out to Bianca and Dante when I was fourteen, my mom at fifteen, and the Don when I was seventeen. And surpri

Quinn’s POV“It started right after Dante found you—when we were all meeting up at the hospital,” Grayson tells me.We’re sitting in the front seats of my car. He hasn’t looked at me once since we got in. I can tell he’s worried about how I’ll react to the story.That alone makes me sad. That he thinks I wouldn’t be happy for him. That he doubts I’d be on his side.“At first, we were just at the hospital at the same time. I noticed Rocco took his coffee the same way I did, so I started picking up drinks for both of us. Then he started bringing pastries. One thing led to another… and we ended up in a heavy makeout session, dry humping against the alley wall behind a café.”I blink. “And you weren’t going to tell anyone?” I ask. “Didn’t you think we’d be happy for you?”“It’s not that…” He sighs. “At first, we kept it quiet because of everything going on—your kidnapping, the baby, your dad… We didn’t want to add more chaos. And then it had been so long. We didn’t know how to bring it up.
