As Vini lay in the circle of his arms that night, Nico struggled with what he’d decided. This decision might change everything for them, but he had no choice.
“Vini. I need to go hunting.”
Her body stiffened next to him. The breath flowing over his bare skin halted. The fingers tapping lightly on the skin just above his navel stopped moving. He could almost hear the thoughts going through her head.
“I want you…I’m asking you, stay here. Max will be with me. A few of our guys will be here with you. Watching the house.” At her intake of breath, he went silent.
“Someone tried to kill you. Kill my husband. And you’re asking me to sit this one out? Is that what you’re saying?” The clipped tone of her voice warned him to tread lightly. His wife was pissed.
Oh well, so be it. “I’m not going to argue with you. I can’t be worried about you when I’m out there.”
Her body jackknifed in the bed. Her smooth, dark skin glistened in the moonlight streaming through their bedroom window. If this wasn’t such a serious conversation, he’d take her in his mouth, picking up where they’d left off earlier.
“What you’re not going to do, is try to make this about me. This is about you trying to control the situation again. Keeping me behind the scenes.” She paused and looked away. Turning back to him, the words from her mouth tore at him. “I feel like I’ve failed you.”
“Baby, no—”
“When I walked into the club that night, all I saw was another woman in the space where I belonged. It didn’t matter that I knew you were focused on taking over parts of Diego’s business. Had been for months. That even though we both play our roles when needed, we always come back to each other. My brain didn’t register everything going on, even if I was seeing it with my own eyes. My hurt and pain were overwhelming me. Suffocating me. No matter what you said to try and make it better, I felt it was my fault. That it was my punishment for all the people I’d hurt.”
As she continued speaking, Nico sat up in bed, pressing his back against the headboard. His hands itched to reach out to her, pull her into his arms. But he held back. This conversation had been a long time coming. Her soft voice held so much hurt, he could feel it on his skin.
“After that night, I felt my world crash around me, and I realized something.” Reaching her hand out to him, she rubbed her fingers against his arm. “Things don’t always go easy for us, but I’ve come to accept that. I’ve had no choice, really. But listen to me, I don’t regret the way we grew up. Our lives have been fun, crazy, dangerous, and exciting all rolled up into one. No matter what, I wouldn’t change a thing. And because of that, I know that losing our baby wasn’t our fault. It wasn’t…my fault.”
As she began to speak again, he put a finger up to her lips. “Vini, baby. Stop talking. I had no idea you were feeling that way. Why didn’t you tell me? No, don’t answer that. Now it’s your turn to listen to me. I’ve never blamed you for what happened, and if I knew you’d blamed yourself this much, I would have nipped that shit in the bud.” Wiping away the lone tear that fell down her cheek. “Sweetheart, please don’t cry. It was a terrible accident. And as you know, that scumbag was handled in jail. No one hurts our family and gets away with it. Not even me.” Sighing, he took a chance and pulled her close. Wrapping his arms around her lush form, he kissed her forehead. “I love you, Vini. We’ve wasted so much time.”
“At first I was angry with you. Felt you’d finally gotten tired of me and wanted to move on with your life.”
Lifting her chin with his finger, he smiled down into her soft brown eyes. “I will never get tired of you. I love you more every day. Even when you get that crazy gleam in your eyes as you’re holding that damn 9mm in your hand. You’re the only woman who understands me. And I’m the only man who will ever be with you this way, who will fuck you until your voice goes hoarse from screaming my name, and the only man who will ever lick your pussy as your juices flow and your eyes roll back in your head.”
A smile came over her face as she pulled out of his arms and climbed onto his lap. Her warm sheath resting over his rapidly hardening cock. “I won’t be apart from you anymore. I promise the next time I lose my shit, I’ll come to you first. I’ll ask questions first, shoot later.”
“Does that mean I can finally have my wife back?”
Leaning down, she kissed him deeply, her tongue snaking its way into his mouth. Tugging his bottom lip between her teeth. Her nibbles against his flesh forced a moan from his lips.
“You’ve always had your wife. I was just getting my shit together so that I could get back to the person I needed to be,” she said in a soft tone.
“I never want to be away from you again,” he kissed her neck as he adjusted her body over his thick cock. He wanted to slide inside her body again. He needed to fuck her. If she’d let him, he’d try his damndest to place another baby inside her belly. Because he wanted children, with her.
“You promise?” she hissed, sliding her slick pussy over his thick rod.
“Damn, baby. Yes. Yes, I promise. Never again.” Lifting his hips, he pressed her down at the same time. As he surged inside her, they both grunted at the sudden connection of their bodies.
“Yeah, baby. Just like that,” she moaned. “Nico… Nico…”
“I love it when you say my name. You’re so wet for me,” he grabbed the globes of her ass, kneading the flesh in his palms. Damn, he’d missed her so much.
“Nico… Promise me something,” she whispered.
“Anything. Whatever you want.”
“Promise?”
“Yes. Anything. I promise,” he mumbled as she twisted her hips. Her hands grabbed the back of his neck, pressing their bodies tight.
“Take me with you when you hunt down Diego. I want to gut that motherfucker from stem to sternum. No one messes with my husband and lives,” her smile was big and her eyes were filled with the excitement of the coming carnage. “Now fuck your wife and make me beg for mercy.”
Damn, he loved this woman. And then he proceeded to do just that.
