There is no way out.
Realization hits me.
I ran from one cage only to run headfirst into another.
Chapter20
Nico
“Hansen has the chopper ready,” Dante drawls, striding into my office.
I sigh, running a palm across my mouth. It’s been a week since the night on the beach and the last thing I want to do is leave Ocean and Romeo - especially after the progress we have made – but I have no choice. There is urgent business in the city that needs my attention. I can’t put it off for another day.
“I want you, Marco, and Enzo with me. We leave in thirty minutes.” I tell him, pushing out of my chair.
He nods. “Will we be staying in the city?”
Rounding my desk, I move past him, throwing over my shoulder. “Not planning on it. But if shit doesn’t go according to plan, then we might have to.”
I don’t hear his response; neither do I care. I have more pressing matters to attend to right now, namely Ocean and my son. If my calculations are right, she will be feeding him right now. Climbing the stairs, I move along the landing toward her bedroom door. I frown. Her bedroom. That doesn’t sound right. Now that we are… well, whatever we are, I would prefer we haveourbedroom. I won’t spend a night without her while in our home, not now that we are moving forward with our relationship. With that in mind, I make a mental note to have the staff move their things into my suite. Knowing my littleTesoro,she will protest, but she should know by now that she doesn’t have a choice in the matter.
Coming to a stop outside her door, I push it open without knocking. As I guessed, she is in the big Chesterfield chair that overlooks the grounds, beach, and ocean. Romeo is in her arms as she feeds him from her breast. My gaze drops to her plump tits, my mouth watering at the hardened nipple my son doesn’t have his mouth on. My cock swells in my pants. Its sick really. Getting turned on while she nurses our son, but I have no control over it.
“What are you doing?” she hisses, trying to cover herself.
My jaw clenches that she even dares try to hide herself from me. I thought we were past this. Thought she understood that I am her life now. Kicking the door shut, I close the distance between us. She glowers at me but it’s more adorable than anything else. I bite back a laugh at her attempt at being aggressive.
Dropping down in front of her, I stroke a finger down Romeo’s soft cheek. My chest constricts. I don’t think I will ever get used to the fact that I’m a papà. “If you ever try to hide from me again, I will remove all of your clothes, so you have no choice but to walk around naked.” My gaze never leaves my son as I say all this.
She gasps. “You wouldn’t.”
Glancing up at her, I shoot her a sardonic smile. She is right. I wouldn’t, if only for the fact I don’t want anyone else seeing her perfect body. She doesn’t need to know that though. “Oh, I would, so I suggest you don’t test me. Now, I came to tell you that I am heading to the city for business. I should be back later tonight if everything goes to plan. If not, I will be home tomorrow. I trust you will behave in my absence?”
She sighs, covering the nipple Romeo was just latched onto. He is asleep so obviously done with feeding. Lifting him gently, she holds him up to her shoulder. Her hand comes to his small back where she rubs soft circles. Her blue eyes shift back to me. “I’m not a child Nico, so stop treating me like one.”
“Your disappearing act last year says otherwise.” I deadpan, straightening to my full height. Not that she would get far if she ever tried to run again. I smirk, my mind going to a couple days ago.
“Ow,” Ocean whimpers, rubbing at a spot on her neck.
My gaze drops to the movement, but I keep my face blank, not wanting to give anything away. You see, last night I plied her with a sedative. Not for nefarious reasons – depending how you look at it - but because I didn’t want her to be awakewhen I pierced her skin and inserted the tiny tracking chip I had specially made for her. It was so small, I injected it just below her ear, with a syringe the doctor on my payroll provided me. Though it’s for my peace of mind, it’s also for her safety. If my enemies ever find out about her, then they will do all they can to try and take her from me, to use her as bait. And it’s not just Ocean that is at risk. My son is also a target, which is why the doctor injected one into him. It’s not something I wanted to do when he is so small, but it is necessary. His little cry pierced my heart, but it only lasted a couple of minutes and then he went back to sleep. The pain I felt from having to do such a thing soon turned to satisfaction at knowing I will always find them if anything ever happens.
“What’s wrong?” I ask nonchalantly, even though I already know the answer.
She frowns. Her beautiful face screwing up. “I don’t know. I have a really sore spot just below my ear. Maybe I was bitten by an insect or something. Can you check to see if there is a mark?” ‘Or something’ is right, but she doesn’t need to know that.
Closing the distance between us, I run a finger up her neck and over the spot I inserted the tracker. There is no mark and had I not injected her myself, I would question if anything was beneath the skin. “No. Nothing.” I press my lips to her temple. “Take an antihistamine and some Tylenol. I’m sure that will get rid of any pain if it is a bite.”
“Nico?” Her soft voice brings me back to the present. Ocean rolls her eyes in exasperation then pushes up from the chair. Taking Romeo out of her arms, I pad to his crib, pressing a kiss to his little head before gently placing him down. An unfamiliar emotion slithers through me when I look at him. Worry maybe? Fear of leaving them. Of not having them in my sight. For the first time in my life, I don’t want to leave this place. I want to stay cocooned in the little bubble that I have created with my family. Where I can keep them safe.
Though none of my enemies are aware that Ocean or Romeo exist, I know it will only be a matter of time before they find out. They are my weaknesses and I know, without a doubt, anyone out to hurt me will try to do it through them. I can’t have that. Which is why I need to keep them here, hidden. Safe. At least until the Bratva and Romanos are dealt with.
“You know why I left,” irritation laces her whispered voice.
Turning, I pin her with a look. “That’s beside the point. Now, enough about that. My cock is hard and needs attention before I leave.”
She reels back, no doubt at my quick change of conversation, her mouth dropping open, in shock. She shakes her head, then spins, moving toward the door. “No. No way. I am not yourwhore, trapped in this bedroom and ready to service you whenever you demand. Just go, Nico.”
Grabbing her wrist, I pull her small, soft body into mine. “I’m not going anywhere until my dick is empty and my cum is inside you.” Gripping her hips, she yelps when I lift her into my arms. Striding to the bed, I drop her down, quickly climbing on top of her. She blinks up at me, wriggling her body from side to side. My heavy weight pins her to the bed, stopping any escape she might have planned. Snaking my hand down, I trail my fingers up her thigh to her panty covered pussy, enjoying when I find her wet. “I don’t even have to touch you. You’re always soaked for me. Willing and ready to go,” I murmur.
