To find her on the couch, patting Storm on the stomach and singing, “Belly, belly, belly bongoes,” with each pat.
My lips curved up immediately at the sight.
A spot of joy.
Yeah.
That was a good way of describing her.
Even if, objectively, I knew she wasn’t mine, that she wasn’t going to be mine.
“Thanks, Ma,” I said, not sure what else I could say to her. “I gotta get going, though.”
“Of course. Yeah. Say hi to Millie for me,” she said. “Love you.”
“Love you too,” I said before hanging up, then silencing my damn phone.
If someone from the Family really needed to get in touch with me, they could come to my place. I needed to avoid the calls and texts from several dozen people who would suddenly want to know all the details of my personal life.
Grabbing a change of clothes, I made my way downstairs, heading toward the bathroom as Millie curled up with Storm.
I suddenly wanted to have her curl up with me, her arms on me, her head on my chest.
“Fuck,” I sighed as I closed myself in the bathroom, staring at myself in the reflection as I waited for the water to warm up.
It wasn’t long, though, before my gaze was drifting behind me. To the wall where I’d propped Millie up. Where she had her leg over my shoulder as I buried my face in her pussy, devouring her sweet taste, finger-fucking her until she was shaking and crying out.
On a grumble, I tossed off the rest of my clothes, and climbed in the shower, reaching down to start stroking my cock, trying to ease the ache that had been at the forefront of my mind since the moment I’d walked into the bathroom to find her wearing nothing but her panties.
When I climbed out of the shower a while later, I was trying to convince myself that it was good she was injured, that we couldn’t get more physical.
Shit was too complicated already.
I still didn’t even know her history, for God’s sake.
Still, as I passed her, stopping to drape a blanket over her body, I admitted to myself that there wasn’t anything I’d wanted quite as much as I wanted her, though.
And I had no fucking idea what to do with that realization.
CHAPTER TEN
Millie
“Millie!” a voice shouted just a second before hands grabbed my shoulders, shaking me until the nightmare finally released its hold on me, making me snap back to the present. “Christ,” Silvano said, eyes wide, chest heaving.
Like he’d run down those steps to get to me, trying to rouse me from the depths of my horror, before finally deciding to just grab me and give me a solid shake.
“Sorry,” I said, hand going to my chest, feeling the way my heart was knocking against my ribcage.
A cold sweat had broken out across my skin, chilling me.
Storm was at my feet, whimpering.
“Bad one, huh?” Silvano asked, moving to sit beside me, his warmth making me want to curl up into him. The most I allowed myself was to lean closer, then reach to pull the blanket up over me.
“Yeah,” I admitted, taking a deep breath.
“Wanna talk about it?”
