Bruno gives me a warm hug. When Alessio tries to do the same, he swings his arm like he’s going to deliver me a slap, but I raise a finger. A cloud darkens his face.

He’s about to say something. “I’m busting your balls,” I tell him, “okay?”

He can do that, give me a slap, and I love it when he does, but now is not the time. Breaking into his rhythm like that, I got through it without a confrontation. I believe I may be getting the measure of Alessio.

I make a mental note not to get complacent. The son and heir of a mafia family knows he can do anything, and he can get away with it. Once a line is crossed, there’s often no going back. Keeping our interactions on the good side of the line may be like walking a tightrope, but my life could easily depend on it.

Bruno tugs on his sleeve.

“Let the two young lovebirds have some time to themselves.”

There’s a note of sarcasm as he says, “The princess and her little prince.”

“You’re all my princes,” I tell him sternly. “And, yes. I want to be with Carlo for a while now.”

As he turns for the door, Bruno says, “The guestrooms here are comfortable.”

That makes me wonder if there are bathrooms. I could definitely do with a shower.

“It’s probably best if we all are in our own rooms by morning, though,” I tell him, with an eye on Carlo. I think he would be saying the same thing, if he had got his breath back yet.

Alessio’s feet drag, but he and Bruno eventually find their way to the door.

Taking to the couch for one dirty, slutty cuddle with Carlo before I get a shower, I’m happier and more contented than I have been in so long, just to take him into my arms. Have him rest on my thighs. Watch as he looks up, dreamily at me.

I get a thrill stroking his hair.

“When I got here this morning, everybody in this house — okay, I only saw Alessio and Bruno, and Mrs. Jago. But I’m sure that you all thought I was going to be your plaything.”

Carlo nuzzles in my lap. “And I so want you to be our plaything.”

He’s adorable, dozy like this. “And that’s exactly what I want, Carlo. More than I ever wanted anything.”

“You want to be our fuckpet?”

“Yes. I want to be the toy, the plaything, the anytime fuck buddy for all three of you.”

“Oh, yes.” His eyes flash. He finds the strength to rise up and kiss me. It’s so delicious. “Our princess.”

I put a finger on his lips. “Just as long as you all understand,” Such gorgeous lips. “I’m in charge.”

He stifles a laugh, but he keeps his composure.

“Of course.” I can’t tell whether he’s playing me or not. “Princess Fuckpet.”

Since it’s Carlo, it’s safest to assume he’s playing me.

He says, “You picked me to stay with because you already know the other two better, isn’t that right?”

I pinch his arm. “No. Carlo, are you being jealous and letting your insecurity show?”

His eyes sparkle. “Maybe. Maybe a little, anyway. But it’s true, isn’t it?”

“It’s true that I have spent more time with the other two, and gotten to know them better, yes. But I think you already know that.”

His head turns and he looks at me a little sideways. “What makes you say so?”

“You all talked about me. Either before your council of war or after it.” I look in his eyes, “Or, for all I know, I could have been the subject of it.”
