“I know. I know. Business comes first.” She sighs softly but I hear slight resentment in her voice. My chest tightens. Though Mamma was born into a mafia family, I know full well she hates this way of life. She was primed from the moment she wasborn and had no choice but to become the mafia queen she was groomed to be. It was instilled in her from a young age, that thefamigliawill always come first. That doesn’t mean she has to like it. “I have a couple of busy weeks but when things quiet down, I will come and spend the weekend with you and Allegra,” I tell her, hoping it will make her happy.
“That would be nice, Nico,” she says softly, the sadness in her voice now replaced by excitement. Though my mamma is constantly surrounded by guards and the staff, I know she is lonely. It doesn’t help that my papà spends most of his time in the city, fucking other women and taking care of business.
I scowl, though she can’t see it. “Well, it’s settled then. I need to go, Mamma. I will talk to you soon.”
“I love youmio figlio.” She murmurs in way of a goodbye before ending the call.
Tossing my cell on the bed, I towel myself dry. Padding to my closet, I grab some boxer briefs, pants, a black dress shirt and my black Italian loafers before making quick work of dressing.
Once dressed, I pick up my cell, shooting off a message to Christopher, telling him to be ready in fifteen minutes. It may still be early, but I know for a fact that Ocean starts her shift at 8 a.m. and there is no time like the present.
I won’t waste another second. I am seeing my girl.

Pushing through the door toBellissima, a smile curves my lips when I spot Ocean at the counter. She nibbles her lip in concentration, staring at the computer screen as she holds the landline up to her ear.
“I have you down for a waxing appointment with Saskia on Thursday at 5:45 p.m.” Her soft, velvet voice drifts throughthe room, hitting me straight in the cock. Fuck. Why does this woman have such an effect on me? It’s bizarre really, though I am past caring or questioning it.
As if sensing me, her head lifts, gaze locking on me. Those blue orbs widen in shock before narrowing. A scowl crosses her beautiful face, as she shoots me a contemptuous look. Guess my absence the last couple of days didn’t go unnoticed. I smirk at her reaction; at the way she challenges me. No one would dare look at me the way Ocean is right now. And I have no doubt in my mind that if Ocean really knew who I was, she also wouldn’t be looking at me the way she is right now.
Ending the call, she places the phone on the holder before she looks at the computer screen and taps her fingers on the keyboard. My cock hardens and I smile wider, knowing exactly what she is doing. She is trying to ignore me, pretend that I’m not here. Unfortunately for her, I am.
Sauntering across the marble tiles, I close the distance between us. She still doesn’t look at me. I sigh. Gripping her arm, I pull her around the counter, so she is standing in front of me. Her breath hitches, but still she keeps her eyes on the floor. Wrapping a finger around her chin, I lift until her eyes meet mine. Blue on blue.Mine.
“Did you miss me,Tesoro?” I tease, bending slightly so I can brush my lips against hers.
“No.” she scoffs, her voice defiant.
My eyes narrow in on her. She may say no, but her face tells a different story. Vulnerability, hurt, anger. She probably thought me fucking her the other night was a one-and-done type of thing. It usually would be. But not with her.
My tongue darts out, running a slow path up her cheek. I grin, when the pulse point in her neck turns erratic and her chest starts heaving. “You’re lying. I think you did miss me, baby, and that is why you have an attitude now. It’s okay to admit itbecause I missed you too. I missed your perfect lips. I missed the way your cunt feels wrapped around my cock. I. Missed. You.” I enunciate in a seductive whisper.
She moans, melting into me and I know I have her. “Where have you been?” she breathes.
I press a kiss on her hair. “I had business to take care of.”
Stiffening, she huffs a laugh, pulling back from me. She twists her fingers together, a nervous, vulnerable gesture if I were to guess. “I thought…” she trails off, her cheeks turning red in embarrassment. Gathering herself, she takes a breath and continues. “I thought. Well, I thought that after we… You know.”
I know what she is trying to say without saying it and she just confirmed my earlier thoughts with her jumbled words. Bundling her into me, I drop my lips to her ear, putting her at ease. “You thought that it was a one-time thing. That I got what I wanted and ghosted you?” I voice what she couldn’t say.
She nods, looking up at me with her big sapphire eyes. “Yeah.”
I laugh, but it’s humorless. I almost wish that were the case. Unfortunately for her, it isn’t. I am sure that by the time this is done, she would have wished it were the case also. I frown, my chest aching at the thought that eventually, one day, even if it is in the future, this will all be over. No matter how much I want to keep her, she deserves more than what I can give.
Pressing a kiss to her nose, I say. “You don’t get rid of me that easily,Tesoro. Now come on. I will get your shift covered. It’s been too long since I had my cock buried inside you.”
Reaching for her hand, I pull her toward the staff area so that she can grab her bag. I also need to inform Macy that Ocean will be gone for the day. It’s an asshole move and will probably leave my manager short-staffed. But Macy won’t question me and will pick up the slack no matter what.
Because I’m the boss and I can do what the fuck I like.
Chapter 22
Ocean
My back arches as Nico hits a spot so deep inside me, I see stars.
The sound of skin slapping, and the smell of sex permeate the room. A noise, bordering on animalistic, leaves my mouth as he thrusts into me so hard, I hit the headboard.
