“Gio?” She whispered in disbelief as I pulled her head back from my chest, her make up down her face and her hair soaking wet, she still looked as beautiful as ever.
“What were you doing?” I growled, unable to keep the hurt out of my voice that she might have been trying to end it all. That she might not be able to handle this life.
“I-I was- holding my breath,” she stuttered. Her eyes filled with tears and her bottom lip trembled. My eyes scanned her stunning green irises with those ember sparks.
“Why?” I asked more softly.
“I was t-trying to stop the panic attack,” she whispered, and I exhaled loudly. Our eyes locked and I felt overwhelmed with love and admiration for this woman. She was my entire universe, and I could never let anything happen to her. I would not survive losing her ever. I now knew just a fraction of hurt mamma must be living with every day.
I leaned forward to capture her lips with mine, melting the world and all my anxiety away as she wrapped her arms around my neck and threaded her fingers through my hair, deepening the kiss. Within seconds, she was clawing at my soaked shirt, and I was frantically undoing my trousers and standing up in the bath to remove them before diving back down and pulling her onto my lap. She gasped into my mouth as I entered her quickly, needing her to wash away the horrors of the day. She needed me too. That much was clear. In this moment, all we would feel was each other. Our love. Our connection. Our pleasure. It was what we both needed more than the air we breathed. Wrapping my arms around her tightly, I moved in and out at a pleasurable pace as the tears rolled down her cheeks and I kissed her passionately.
A Wedding or a Funeral?
Olivia
Idug my nails into his toned back as the euphoric feeling heightened to the precipice of pleasure. This was my safe place. Being in his arms. Feeling him inside me. Every touch, every kiss, every breath mixed with mine was calming me and the world was fading away. It was just him and I.
I gripped my hands in his hair as the water splashed around us when he quickened his thrusts to push us both over the edge of heaven. We both cried out at the same time, gasping and panting our orgasms into the room.
I lowered my forehead against his and closed my eyes, trying to hold onto this moment in time. I didn’t want to face reality. I didn’t want to come back down to Earth and face what I had done.
“Bambola?” His silky, soft voice beckoned me back. “Are you okay?”
I slowly shook my head against his, never opening my eyes. I was scared of what I would see. I had killed a member of his family. What if he never forgave me? What if this changed everything?
“Liv, look at me. I am right here,” he whispered. Reluctantly, I opened my eyes and was met by his beautiful pools of brown that shimmered with so much love. It made me immediately want to cry again.
“I- I killed him. I killed Toni. I’m so sorry!” I whimpered as I let it all flow out of me, shaking in his arms. He gripped me tighter to him, before cupping my face in his hands forcing me to hold his gaze.
“You have nothing to be sorry about Olivia. You saved Max’s life. Toni was trying to rape Cami. That asshole deserved everything he got. You rid the world of a monster.”
I released a shaky breath as I let his words sink in. Is that really what happened? He was trying to rape Cami? It suddenly all made sense. The guilt dissolved and was replaced with so much anger. How dare he do that to her? And then try to kill Max!
Seeing my change in mood, a small smile played on Gio’s lips as he leaned forward and kissed me briefly.
“My little badass bambola,” he smiled.
I wasn’t ready for jokes yet. This was all still too serious. Even if he was a monster, he was Sal’s consigliere and there would be extreme consequences for killing him, I was sure. Sal didn’t strike me as the type of man who would forgive something like this easily. “What about Sal? He will find out and he will- “
“He will do nothing. A dead man can do nothing.”
I froze hearing his harsh words and the seriousness of his tone. I pulled my head away from his to search his face for meaning.
“What do you mean?”
His nostrils flared and he closed his eyes momentarily, clearly trying to get some control over his sudden fury. When he opened them again, I saw his darkness. It should have scared me, it would anyone else, but I knew it was not directed at me. It would never be directed at me.
“Sal killed Vinny. He orchestrated the entire thing. Him and Toni worked with Francesco to frame the Leones for killing my father.”
My mouth dropped open, and I gasped. Max was right. It was all Salvatore. Everything this family had been through was because of him. “I am going to kill him, Liv.”
My stomach flipped as the fear of Giovanni taking on Salvatore caused dread to infect every inch of my body. I had seen first-hand how ruthless his uncle was and clearly the lengths he would go to get what he wanted. “I am so sorry Gio. But he is Boss! How are you going to do it without him knowing you are coming for him? Please tell me you have a plan Gio and you aren’t just going to pull your gun out and shoot him in the head? What about all his loyal soldiers? What about the commission?”
My mind was working a thousand miles a minute as the panic started to flood through me. He brushed my hair away from my face with a small smile. “Shh, I have a plan. Don’t worry. It’s going to take some organising, but it will work. I know it will. The water is getting cold, let's get out of here and find Max and Cami and then I will explain everything.” I nodded slowly, my mind still whirling with everything that had happened today. As I stared up at my gorgeous man all I could feel was grateful. He was alive and back in my arms. That was all I cared about right now.
“Turn around and let me wash your hair,” he commanded. I did as he asked, his large hands massaging my scalp and then tenderly rinsing it off with the shower head. I closed my eyes as I let him take care of me, knowing he needed it as much as I did.
