by Jane Henry
“What if I don’t give you a choice?”
She grabs me by the tie and yanks me over to her, kissing me full on the lips to cheers and cat-calls around us. A moment later, we’re getting back into our limo with a cup of gelato in each hand. We only have a ten minute drive to our new home, a large, rambling villa on the outskirts of one of Piero Russo’s vineyards. We’ll only be here for a little while, though. Mia starts school in a few weeks, and I’ll be going with her. I’ll be her bodyguard, but this time it isn’t punishment but a choice. I won’t let wearing my wedding band keep her away from her hopes and dreams.
It was a smallish wedding for the family, but my family joined hers as we took our vows and Piero Russo gave us his blessing. We’ve settled things in Boston, leaving Mia out of all the details. Suffice it to say, she’s almost as safe there now as she is in Calabria.
We got an apartment right on the waterfront. Safe. Private. Ours. I’m almost happy to leave Calabria this time, because all that matters is that Mia will be with me.
She gleefully licks from one cup to the next, and I gaze at her, not even bothering to hide my admiration. I watch her tongue capture the light yellow lemon flavor, then the chocolate. So beautiful. She leans in to taste mine, and I pull it away. “Not so fast, little girl. You need to ask permission before you lick mine.”
She grins and pouts.
“And no pouting,” I say, shaking my head. “Even married women like you can get turned over knees.”
Her brows furrow.
“Are you giving me a dirty look?” I ask.
She flushes pink, bites her lip, and shakes her head. So fucking beautiful.
“Please, sir?” she asks, giving me that pretty grin that does me in every time, her words like a spell. Magic.
“Please what?”
“Please let me lick yours.”
My cock stirs at that, her sweet voice laced with innuendo that never fails to undo me. We make quick work of finishing our gelato so we can move on to bigger and better things, and by the time our limo pulls onto the long driveway to our new home, her hair’s tousled and I’ve managed to find my way through the miles of lace.
“Enzo,” she pants. “Oh God. Are we home yet?”
Hell yes, we are. The limo comes to a stop, and my chest swells with pride.
“Yeah, baby. Home.”
Home is wherever she’s by my side.
Also by Jane and Loki: Criminal
He's everything I hate. And he's going to break me.
I thought I could take the law into my hands. I was wrong.
When I trespassed in the territory of the FBI's most wanted, I thought I'd earn respect, maybe even a promotion. Instead, I was caught.
He's going to strip me of everything -- my clothes, my pride, my limits. He's going to make me endure discipline and worse than that, pleasure.
I can't help myself.
I'm falling in love with a monster.
Everything about him is just plain... criminal.
