I began to knead her breasts with one hand while sliding the other down to her button. I pinched, tugging it up and down. She instantly placed her hands on top of mine, moving with me as she cried out in pleasure.

“Valentino, I love you.” she panted.

“I love you too, Isabelle.” I placed my lips against her neck, gently kissing her soft skin.

She rolled her head toward me. I immediately kissed her zealously. I was falling deeper in love with this woman every day. She was everything I craved and needed in someone. There was no one who even came close to comparing to her.

I pulled away only long enough to command her to ride me. She swiveled her body, facing me. We both moved in a rhythm together, our breathing was becoming shallower as we both moaned in each other's mouths between kisses. I leaned away, pressing my lips to her ear, kissing, sucking, and licking her everywhere my lips and tongue would reach.

“Cum,” I growled as I filled her.

She erupted on cue, screaming out in pleasure as we both exploded with focused intensity.

The next morning, I left Isabelle a note telling her I needed to run out for a while. My brother did end up spending the night at my house and I called both Blaine and William, demanding a meeting with them immediately.

Alessandro and I arrived at a small coffee shop close to my house. They were quite busy, but I called ahead to make sure they would reserve a table for us on the patio. When we arrived with Giacomo by our side, he stood nearby as we made our way through the morning crowd.

Blaine and William were already seated at a round table for four, waiting. They glanced up from their menus with wide eyes as we approached. William stood, patting us both on the back as he greeted us. I took a seat on his other side.

“Alessio Greco in the flesh,” Blaine joked as he stood, shaking his hand, pulling him into a quick hug.

“Blaze,” Alessandro joked as he stepped around him, taking a seat.

We picked up our menus, silently studying options even though I always ordered the same coffee and pastry every time I came to this particular café. A young, brunette waitress approached our table, smiling.

“Good morning, gentlemen.”

We quickly placed our orders and she disappeared in a hurry. I noticed William had not taken his eyes off me since we got here. He was waiting for it. He knew something big was coming. Tilting his head, he propped his elbow on the arms of his chair, his fingertips stroking his chin.

“Spit it out, man,” Blaine blurted suddenly.

He was on to me as well. I never called morning meetings at cafes. Meeting in private was important to me and we usually had breakfast on my back patio when business was involved. However, this morning I wanted a change. I felt like a new person in many ways.

William nodded, “Your brother is here so I can only assume this is about Felipe, but it’s too public.”

Alessandro's eyes darted toward me. I took a deep breath, shaking my head. His eyes narrowed and I knew that he would not forget what he just heard. Alessandro did not miss anything.

“Well what the fuck is it?!” Blaine blurted.

Before I could reply, the server returned with our order, arranging everything neatly on the table in front of us. After thanking her, she sashayed away, checking on other tables around us. I sat silently for a moment, staring at my cup before lifting it to my lips, taking a sip as the three of them stared at me, waiting for me to speak.

“I am going to ask Isabelle to marry me,” I smirked before taking another sip of my cappuccino.

24 Mamma

Three weeks had passed since I told my brother and two best friends of my plans to propose to Isabelle. They were all happy for me and even offered to help me come up with the perfect setting. As nice as that was, I needed to do this myself. It had to be perfect.

The media began to get wind that a woman was living with me. The paparazzi camped out in front of my home on the other side of the wall. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, they tried to get any glimpse of her. Magazines were offering us money to do exclusive interviews and I continuously declined.

Trying to come and go from the estate in private was hard enough but once they were focused on my love life it was a damn circus. It was unheard of for me to be in a relationship and I went from being New York's most eligible bachelor to untouchable overnight.

We started using a private back entrance to come and go from the estate, hoping that they would not catch on. Thankfully, so far no one had. It was much easier to use a decoy for the front.

Isabelle spent a lot of time on the grounds of the property, away from the streets. She was still a bit nervous to venture out with Felipe missing and the media frenzy, so she worked from home. She insisted that she needed to work, so I let her.

I sat at my desk in my office building, waiting for my first meeting of the morning. Since Isabelle now handled my schedule, I told her I needed time to myself to catch up on things I had missed in the office. She did not to book any meetings for me until after 1:30 p.m, so it gave me some time. One of my employees, Asha, knocked on my office door.

“It's open!”
