“Lucas wanted to father my children. That was a hard limit for him. The rest of us were okay with a communal family. When we couldn’t agree, things unraveled.”
The wheels start to turn. I know how possessive Gio can be. Would he be okay with me having a baby by Jace?
I do want children someday. I know for sure Jace wants a family. We’ve talked about it enough.
He wants children of his own someday. He’ll make such a good father. His eyes sparkle when he talks about it. I’ve never had that conversation with Gio.
Images of dark-haired little boys play in my head. I would love nothing more than to have a baby with Gio someday. Jace would make cute babies too. Can our friendship evolve into that type of family? I’m almost afraid to even think about it. I don’t want to lose what I have all over again.
“Relax, Ny. Breathe. No decisions need to be made today. The most important thing is to be honest and consider everyone’s feelings. You have to know yourself before you can service a unit.
“Your self-confidence and knowledge of self will mean a lot to who you are to the boys and who they become to you. Gio has a lot to learn about himself, but I think he will surprise everyone.”
I absorb her words and save them for later. I’ve always gotten the impression from Jace as if he’s waiting for something—me to break up with Gio or for Gio to give in. Whatever it is, I have the feeling I will have to face this someday.
“Tell me about this Ming. She’s your friend from back home. What brought her here with you?”
“Gio summoned her.” I roll my eyes. “She’s cool. I trust her with my life. She became a friend when I needed one. You know?”
“I see. What are your plans, Nyla? Are you going to go to college? What are you doing for you?”
I wrinkle my brows. “But I thought you would want me to help Gio. I never thought about what I’d do. I’ve been waiting for your call.”
She cups my face in her hand. “You will help Gio. This I’m sure of, but don’t forget yourself. He and Jace are taking online law classes, why shouldn’t you? You can still do something with your life too. You’re as smart as my son, if not smarter. You can be your own earner. And the best part is, he’s never going to ask you to kick up to him.”
I laugh and smile. “I guess you’re right. I’ll think on it. It would be nice to have something to call my own.”
She pats my hand. “Good.”
CHAPTER20
Passion and Fire
Nyla
“Gio,”I squeal as I run through the barn.
I’ve been running from him for about twenty minutes. He’s chasing after me because I ate the rest of his mozzarella Ava made. It was so good; I couldn’t help myself.
“Come here. I blinked for one second and you stole my food right off my plate. I’m going to kick your ass, Ny.”
I giggle as I run faster. I go to turn the corner, but he wraps his arms around me and tackles me down into a pile of hay. The wind is knocked out of me, but I can’t stop smiling.
He kisses all over my face as I lie beneath him, panting for air. “If you say you’re sorry, I might have mercy on you,” he says in my ear.
“What if I don’t want mercy?” I say as I look up into his eyes.
He takes my lips and kisses me passionately as he palms my ass and rolls us so I can straddle him. Things heat up quickly as he pushes my dress up. He breaks the kiss to look me in the eyes.
“I thought I was crazy. You don’t have panties on,” he says while frowning up at me, even as he fingers my wet slit.
I shrug. “They’re not always needed. Thongs chafe.”
He rolls his eyes but wastes no time reaching to release his zipper. I lean over him to kiss him again. Grabbing the back of my neck, he deepens the kiss while using his other hand to guide himself inside me.
I gasp into his mouth as he thrusts into me. He grasps my throat as I start to ride him slowly. I look him in the eyes and that dark intensity is there.
He grabs my ass with his free hand, guiding me on his length. I bite my lip and start to circle my hips because it feels like the right thing to do in this moment. He groans and tightens his hold.
