Tommy was standing there. With the letter in his hand. Reno hurried in, and then stopped.
“She wants space,” Tommy said. “She’s asking for time to think, and to decide.”
“To decide what?” Reno asked.
Tommy looked at Reno.
Reno exhaled. He knew what. Then he remembered. “Tree says she didn’t leave all that long ago. They may still be at the airport.”
Tommy looked at Reno and started to run. He started to take off after her and his child and smother Grace again.
But he couldn’t do it. Not this time. Not with his precious baby girl involved. Not if he loved them.
He would give her space. Eventually he would go to her and do everything in his power to make their marriage work and keep his family intact. But it was going to take time this time. For the sake of his wife. For the sake of his daughter. He was going to have to give her real, hard time.
EPILOGUE
“On your march,” Buddy Wellstone said, his hand in the air. “Get set,” he added, as his hand began to come down. “Go!”
And they were off. They were in the backyard of Reno and Trina’s new home in Vegas, a three-acre mansion not far from Sal and Gemma’s estate, and it was their first Saturday in the new place, and the inaugural year of the brand new Gabrini Games.
And the sack race was the first of the games.
Jimmy and Val, in a sack together, were the fastest out of the gate. They were hopping like they were born to hop. But Sal and Gemma, in a sack together, were right on their heels. Trina’s parents were in a sack too, but they were practically walking rather than running. They had no hope of winning. They were just happy to be there.
Trina and Dommi were hopping in their sack together, but it was obvious they weren’t going to catch the leaders. But Reno, with his baby girl Sophia in his arms, and Tommy, with his baby girl Destiny in his arms, brought up the rear.
But not for long. Their competitiveness came bursting through and they hopped pass Trina and Dommi as if the twosome was standing still, causing Trina to scream not fair and Dommi to beg his mother to run faster.
“You’re too slow,” he said, with his competitive juices flowing too.
“You aren’t exactly a bullet yourself,” Trina replied to her son, as she laughed and hopped and pushed her completely healed body to the max for the first time in weeks.
Jimmy and Val won the race, with Sal and Gemma a close second, and Tommy a close third. Reno could have competed for third, but when he saw his wife and son struggling, he eased up and allowed them to pass him. He even waited on his in-laws, who eventually made it up to him, and allowed them to finish ahead of him too.
It was an odd feeling to Reno. He was dead last, and Sal was going to give him grief about it, but because his wife was her old self again, and he had finally found the kind of home befitting his beloved family, he felt like the clear winner.
After the race, they all sat around the picnic tables that the caterers had set up around the lawn, and feasted on a hearty meal. Reno sat at the head of the table, and Trina sat opposite him, at the other end of the table. They ate and laughed and enjoyed the bright Vegas afternoon.
Reno looked at Sal and Gemma. Lucky bastards. Gemma didn’t have any of the scars of that hellish night at Scrolls, thanks to that fateful decision she made to stay home and prepare for her court case, and for that Reno was grateful. He couldn’t explain it, but he loved Gemma with a love that was almost as strong as his love for Trina and Sophia. She was special. And although he’d eat nails before he admitted it to Sal’s face, he was pleased Sal found her. They made the perfect couple. And they both deserved a break. It was temporary. They were Gabrinis after all. But at least their new marriage was off to a positive start.
Reno looked at his oldest son. He was laughing and feeding Val, and Val was laughing and feeding him, and although they had a rocky start to their marriage, they were doing so much better now. Val was a good girl, despite that little seductress routine she tried to pull on him, and Jimmy was fortunate to have her. But they were going to have to work at staying together. Because even he could see they had their issues. And given their youth, it was not going to be easy. But he was praying for them.
And Tommy. Reno’s eyes wandered to the man who was his best friend in this world. He and Tommy had an unbreakable bond, and he hated what he was going through right now. He and Grace were not on the mend. They were working on it, and sharing custody of Destiny, but they still had a long way to go.
Sometimes Reno wondered if they would ever get there. Grace wanted out, he believed. The trauma she’d gone through in their short marriage, and that shooting she endured just after the birth of her first child, spooked her. Reno believed she wanted out, but she didn’t have the heart to tell Tommy that. Because she knew, like everybody knew, that Tommy still wanted her. And Tommy still believed he was going to keep her. But to his credit, Reno thought, he was giving Grace the space to make up her own mind. Once and for all.
But it was ironic to Reno. Of all the Gabrini women, he always suspected that it would be Val, not Grace, who would be the one to cave. Simply because Val was so young and so unaccustomed to their way of life. Grace wasn’t exactly born into this lifestyle either, but she had been with Tommy long enough to know what to expect. But yet, Val was by her husband’s side and as happy as a lark. Grace was back in Seattle, running her company, and making up her mind.
But speaking of Gabrini women. Reno looked at Trina. The Gabrini queen mother. His woman. And his heart swelled with love and pride and gratitude. She came so close. The doctors said she came closer than they could imagine. But she made it through.
He looked at her gorgeous brown face, as it radiated elegance and natural beauty in the Vegas sun. She wasn’t done yet. Not on his life. She still had a lot of living and loving and caring to do, and he was going to make certain she did it in style.
She stood up, with Sophie in her arm, and went behind Dommi’s chair to help him clean up the food he had just spilled. Reno stared at that curvaceous body he knew so well. He was getting a hard-on just looking at that body, and thinking about the pleasure it always gave to him. And when she completed assisting Dommi, and looked up before heading back to her seat, he made eye contact with her. He didn’t make a gesture. He didn’t so much as nod his head. But it was enough. He stood up, and headed into the house.
Trina handed little Sophie to her mother, and headed in the house too.
“Reno?” she called out when she entered. When she got no response, she headed upstairs. At the end of the hall were the double doors of the master suite. She opened those doors. And there was Reno. Naked as a jaybird, and lying on the bed.
Trina smiled. He had been going easy on her since her recovery, but she knew that was going to change. She sensed that it was about to change right now.
“Lock the door,” he told her. “Dommi will come knocking soon.”
Trina locked the door. “Okay, so,” she said playfully, “what is this about? You wanted to see me, right?”
“You’d better get naked and get your ass in this bed,” Reno warned her. “Or else.”
“Or else what?”
“One, two, three,” Reno said, slowly counting.
“You didn’t tell me what you would do if I didn’t obey you.”
“Four, five.”
“Reno!”
“Six.”
Now Trina was worried. And she began to take off her clothes with an auctioneer’s speed. She threw off her blouse and bra, stepping out of her shoes as she did.
“Seven, eight.”
She pulled down her jeans and panties.
“Nine.”
She stepped out of them with such a swift kick that they went sailing across the room. And then she sailed to the bed herself and jumped into it. And on top of him.
“Ten,” he said, wrapped his arms around her, and looked at her. He began to rub her behind. “You just saved yourself a very se
rious ass whipping,” he said.
Trina laid her head on his chest. By the way he was rubbing her ass, she was the one feeling whipped.
Reno moved one of his hands between her legs and began to massage her. She looked up at him. He kissed her long and lovingly. They closed their eyes and relaxed to the kiss as the world around them became concentrated in their one room.
And everything slowed down. It was the heart of the matter for both of them. Reno rubbed her ass, and her back, with one hand, and continued to massage her internally with the other hand. And their hearts could not have felt more certain. They were in love, they were in lust, they were happy. Genuinely happy. Tomorrow might be tough again. Tomorrow might bring even greater challenges for them to face. But they were going to face them together. And they felt unbeatable together.
Reno laid her onto her back, moved down between her legs, and began licking and then eating her. She closed her eyes and lifted her chin as she felt the force of his tongue deep within her. Reno had the kind of sensual power that always reassured her. He was going to give her the sex of her life. And he never failed to deliver.
Like now. He was eating her so hard and licking her so lovingly that she began to move around on the bed and wrap her legs around his naked body so tightly that he became immovable.
But that didn’t make him ease up. He pulled her closer and ate her even harder. She moaned her feelings because it felt so wonderful, and even though it felt as if she couldn’t take it, she did. She wanted it almost as badly as he wanted to give it. And he gave it. Repeatedly. He pulled out all the stops and put it on her good. Her vagina was red, and already inflamed, by the time he sat up, and put his dick inside of her.
“Aaah!” she said with clenched teeth when she felt the full force of his penis going in. She grabbed onto him and he grabbed onto her and they made long, passionate love. Reno’s buttocks were squeezing hard as he pushed with greater and greater force into her, and her vagina was encircling his shaft with a tightness that made the friction feel like fire. His tight ass pushed out and in, out and in as he fucked her long and hard.
Trina held on, and enjoyed his sex, until crossing over took on an entirely different meaning. Because she crossed over. Reno took her to the land that time forgot. Time had stood still. Because all she could think about was this man she had in her arms. This big, strong, beautiful man who fathered her children, who loved and protected her, who made her feel as if she was the most beautiful, most desirable, the luckiest girl in the world.
And she was. When they came, and she felt that surge of release that always elevated her cum, she knew just how lucky she was. Just how fortunate.
She was in tears as she held onto Reno Gabrini. The right one. The absolute right one for her.
