“Who’s playing mind games?” She asked innocently.
Dad motioned me over, and I smiled, walking over and taking the seat on his other side. He wrapped his arm around me, kissing my forehead gently. I leaned my head on his shoulder, a strong wave of nostalgia washing over me.
I glanced around the room. Dante was lying down, his head on Mom’s lap, fast asleep. Kat was watching TV with Sky, but she looked lost in thought as she leaned against Alejandro, who was sitting on the floor next to them. His eyes met mine, and I smiled at him, wondering what he was thinking.
You look fucking beautiful, Amore Mio,he said through the link.
Thanks,I replied, crossing my legs smoothly and giving him a good view of my thigh.
The ache between my legs had faded earlier, and I was ready for another round all over again. I was satisfied when his gaze fell on my legs. I hid my smirk, leaning my head on Dad’s shoulder whilst giving my man a good view.
Keep teasing, and I’m fucking taking you out of here right fucking now.His eyes met mine, and my core knotted in pleasure.
It sounds tempting…
“What time is Maria getting here tomorrow?” Mom asked, bringing us both out of our conversation.
“Afternoon,” Alejandro replied, his arms around Kataleya, who fiddled with the hem of her dress.
“How is Delsanra doing?” Dad asked.
“Not as good as Dante,” Alejandro replied quietly, making my heart thunder.
“What?”
“I saw her earlier on the video call,” he said. His eyes met mine, and I knew he could feel my guilt. Goddess…
“Don’t blame yourself,” Mom said quietly.
“Things will get fixed,” Dad added confidently, glancing at Azura, who was listening with enrapt attention. She gave us a cute smile, and I chuckled.
“Goddess, you are such a little minx,” I teased. “You know, I was thinking in the kitchen, who does Zuzu look like? Her hair is so dark compared to the rest of us, it’s just like how Grandma’s used to be.”
Dad tensed and looked at me, confusion and shock clear in his eyes. I raised my eyebrows, realising the tension that had fallen in the room. I glanced at Mom, who looked slightly pale. What did I say? Azura tilted her head.
“That’s true… Liam’s hair is like Mama’s real hair, Kiara’s is like Daddy’s, then whose is mine like?”
Amore Mio…I glanced at Alejandro, who was frowning with concern.
“Like Grandma Jessica’s,” Mom said with a smile. “Like, look at Skyla’s eyes. They aren’t like her Mom or Dad’s.” I nodded.
“Yeah, her eyes are a lot greener than ours,” I replied, glancing at Mom. Azura nodded in agreement before she got up and hurried over to Skyla.
“Let’s watch something different.”
Amore Mio, that question was a bit fucking odd, don’t you think?Alejandro’s voice asked through the link.
What do you mean?It wasn’t odd. I was just wondering where Azura got her dark hair from…
He looked at me but didn’t say anything more. Strange. I glanced at Mom and Dad, who were clearly conversing through the mind-link. Did I say something wrong? I was about to ask Alejandro when Claire mind-linked me.
Luna, dinner is ready. I will feed Dante whilst the rest of you can eat at the table.
Okay, thank you, Claire.
“Dinner’s ready,” I said out loud.
“Are you okay, Kiara?” Dad asked when we stood up. I smiled warmly and nodded.
