“I swear, Twitch, if you let me stumble into something I will never forgive you.” I threaten as Twitch guides me by the shoulders. After we left the party at the Renzetti mansion yesterday we went down into the holding cells and closed one horrendous chapter of our lives.
Ending the lives of Popov and Ivan should have bothered me. It should have stained my mind. But in all honesty, I slept like a kitten that night. That might have beenthe side effect of making love multiple times though. Either way, I slept easy knowing they were no longer alive to hurt me or anyone I love. This morning Twitch woke me up claiming to have a big surprise for me and he couldn’t wait for me to see it.
“I’m not going to let you fall, doll. Okay, right here. Don’t move and don’t look!”
“Gah! I’m not but hurry up before I test out this blindfold’s knot.”
I wait a few moments as I hear him rustling with something, his jacket maybe? Finally after way too long, Twitch says, “Okay, take off the scarf.”
I pull the blindfold off and my eyes land on Twitch who is down on one knee with a velvet box opened. “Let’s do this thing again, yeah?”
I laugh with tears in my eyes, “Yeah, let’s do it.”
I watch him pull a ring out and slide it on my finger. I gasp and cry when I see it’s an exact replica of the rose ring he’d gotten me the first time, only now there’s an engraving along the side.
“Amore Eterno.” Everlasting love.
“It’s beautiful, Luca. I can’t wait to marry you!” I throw my arms around his neck and notice for the first time that we’re standing in front of a beautiful mansion. It is a dark grey brick home with blood red trimming and a black roof. The front lower level of the house has nine floor to ceiling windows while more windows decorate the second level. The sidewalk we’re standing on is lined with red roses and it leads straight to the front door. The grass is beautifully trimmed and bright green and behind the house I can see a very old oak tree standing tall like a sentinel.
“Where are we?” I ask as we pull apart. I look around trying to figure out who lives here. Maybe Sia and Gavi?
“This property was my mother and father’s. It’s where Sia and I were born and where we lived until our parents died. The mansion was burned to the ground but the property stayed in Andino’s hands.”
He continues speaking while we make our way up the path and to the front door. I look inside and see the warm lights on and marvel at the beauty of the home.
“When you were taken from me, I was thrown into a deeper depression than when my parents were killed. It was more painful than when Sia was taken from me. The love of my life, the only woman to ever understand me, was taken from me just as I asked her to be mine.”
Tears leak from my eyes but Twitch wipes them and continues.
“I didn’t think I could continue living. I’m ashamed to say that I almost gave in to the depression and ended my life but then, Andino gave me this property and I found the documents Lopez gave to you. I used the money and had this mansion built. It’s the home I grew up in. Built from memory and photos, this is the home I remember, only now, it’s modernized. Bulletproof walls and windows, built in security systems and dog kennels in the back for our guard dogs. This is the home that our children will grow up in. Building this mansion while you were missing was one of the things that kept me going. Envisioning you swollen with my child while laying in our bed is what made me fight for you.”
I can’t stop the flood of tears rolling down my face as Twitch opens the door. The inside is even more glorious than the outside. Marble floors with flecks of silver and soft grey walls with white molding. The fireplace is lit with faux flames, since it’s still warm outside. The modern furniture consists of light blue and silver colors along with a faux fur rug.
Once again, I throw my arms around Twitch’s neck and lock my ankles behind his back. I scatter kisses all over his face before latching onto his lips. Twitch pushes me up against the nearest wall as my fingers tangle in his hair. Being the tender-headed man that he is, he hisses and threatens against my lips.
“Pull my hair again, Sil, and I’ll tie you up for a spanking.”
“Ahh, don’t threaten me with a good time,bello.”
Twitch dips his head to my neck but before he can bite me in punishment, Sia’s voice comes through the front door.
“Cut it out you horn dogs, I have the kids and a surprise for Pony Boy.”
I try to squirm out of Twitch’s hold but he quickly bites my neck before letting me go. “Ouch! The mood died so that bite hurt! You better run when your sister leaves.”
The asshole just laughs at my threat and opens the door for Sia. Before she can even get through the door though, a beautiful white doberman bounds through and jumps all over me.
“Oh! I’m so sorry. She’s crazy. I wanted to drop her off right away. She needs training, obviously. Luca, don’t ever ask me to care for a fucking maniac like that dog again. I love her but I’m not going to be chasing after anyone like that again.”
“She is trained… In Italian.” He gives Sia a smirk before giving a command. “Giù, ragazza!” Immediately the white beauty sits while Sia sighs in exasperation.
“Why didn’t you tell me that, Luca? Asshole.”
“Cause you’re a brat, Sia and because I missed out on teasing you growing up so get used to it.”
I smile at their banter. He’s right, he did miss out on the sibling act so I can’t blame him for fucking with her. Seeing her cheeks redden with her Romano fire has me smiling even bigger. She’s a spitfire. I like her.
“Alright you guys, that’s enough fighting. Sia, you want to come in and get something to drink or eat? Twitch was just going to give me a tour, maybe you’d like to come along?”
