He wraps his arms around me. “You did good. Nico says you were the one keeping our family together in my absence. I’m proud of you.”
I’d never admit this to anyone, but the most useless tears fall from my eyes, wetting my shirt. I return the hug, feeling for the first time that I’m Father’s little girl—loved and seen.
“You are my lifesaver little black sheep.” Father says casuing me to sob a bit harder.
It’s me; I am both.
CHAPTER 33 — MR & MRS
Carmine
Today has been a roller coaster, and I’m fucking drain—physically, emotionally, and mentally. All of the Bencivengas are back in the hospital room, so I’m ready to go home. I nod to Gaia and start saying my goodbyes to everyone.Gaia’s mother tells her, “When you come home later, can you bring—”
“Sorry,” I interject, taking Gaia’s hand. “Her home is with me. I only let my wife stay at your penthouse because of his situation. Bencivenga is awake and recovering now, so I’m taking my wife home.”
Gaia blushes and tries to hide her face.
Surprisingly, Bencivenga himself is on my side. “Carmine is right. The newlyweds have been kept apart too long because of me. Gaia, you go home with your husband. Arianna, get whatever your mother is asking for.”
“He wakes up and turns me into his errand girl,” Arianna mutters.
Once Gaia and I are in the car, I tell Gaia everything about today—every bit of information I learned from Sal and from Bencivenga. Her father may treat Gaia like a fragile person, but I know how strong she is. I do not plan on keeping anything from my wife because our marriage will be built on complete honesty from now on.
I'm relieved Gaia isn’t sick to her stomach or pulling away from me about the father-turned-older-brother shit. But she is worried I accidentally handled the conversation with my mother incorrectly. Using whatever she has been learning in school, she coaches me.
“You need to say things like, ‘It’s not your fault, you don’t need to apologize, and you were a victim.’ Keep assuring her of your love. Your mother was probably ashamed and that’s why she couldn’t tell you. You can never truly understand the behavior of a victim. So just be kind to her.”
I nod because I’m sure she’s right. And since my wife is studying psychology, I think I’m going to get psychoanalyzed a lot. But maybe I need it.
I also need something else, pulling her in for a kiss and rolling the divider up in the car so the driver can no longer see us.
When we get home, I pick her up outside the door.
She giggles. “What are you doing?”
“Carrying you over the threshold,” I say with a surprising amount of pride. This causes my wife to blush, hiding her face in my chest. I decide to tease her, “Now you are shy, but didn't you care before?”
“Before?”
“When you were riding my cock in the back seat, those beautiful tits bouncing in my face.”
Playfully, Gaia hits my shoulder and pulls her husband in for a kiss. I carry her over the threshold, then let her up for air, setting her on her feet.
Gaia looks around the interior of the room, gathering her confidence. “It feels like I am home. Where I desperately want to be.”
Speaking of desperate wants my cock stands to attention. Already unzipping my pants, I bring out my cock, which is already hard and ready for her. It only grows harder as I watch Gaia take off her clothes, leaving only her bra and panties. Guess taking those off will be my treat for later.
She looks so fucking sexy though that I can’t resist stroking my cock. Gaia slaps my hand away and I laugh. “What was that for?”
“That’s my job.” She gets on her knees and I move my cock closer to her waiting lips. I try to push into her mouth, but she resists, keeping everything closed up. Gaia won’t open her mouth, no matter how much my dick coats her lips with pre-cum.
“Gaia,” I groan. Gaia looks up at me as I shake my head. “Open nicely for your husband.”
Still, Gaia won’t open. Unexpectedly, she stands, looking like she’s about to leave the room.
“Princess!” I groan, about to bust. “What game are you playing?”
She reaches for my cock. “No games just wondering if you mind relenquishing ownership of this to me?”
