“You want to deprive me of seeing my grandson every day?” Ma’s brows were high on her forehead, an expression of hurt on her face, but I knew she was guilting me. And dammit, it was working.
“Ma,” I sighed. I was relenting, and they both knew it. I couldn’t say no to Ma, and if I was honest, she was right: we did need our own space.
Silence stretched between us, but it was Navy who broke it by asking, “Can you give us a tour?”
Her lips were lifted into a smile, her excitement clear to see and…fuck, I couldn’t let her down. I couldn’t tell her that I didn’t want to take this from Ma, but…
Goddammit. Why did this have to be so hard? Why couldn’t I put my foot down and tell the two women who meant the most to me that there was no way we were going to live here?
“Come,” Ma said, grasping Navy’s hand and leading her to the guesthouse.
The front porch had been redone and painted white, a two-seater swing hanging from the rafters. Ma opened the door and rushed inside, but I just stood there, sure that this wasn’t the same placed I remembered.
Oak flooring covered the wide hallway leading to stairs and funneling off into several doorways. Ma and Navy were going into each room at lightning speed, but I took my time. A door on the right led into a sitting room complete with plush, comfy-looking sofas that took up half of the space, and a huge TV on the wall. Open double doors led from that room and into a large kitchen complete with another area with a second sofa and a dining table. Patio doors led out into a yard that has a swing set and raised flower beds.
I heard Ma and Navy make their way upstairs as I walked through the kitchen where the cupboards were a shiny white, all the appliances we’d ever need displayed on the countertops. Moving back toward the front door, I then took a quick look in the other room, seeing what could only be described as a den crossed with a playroom. There were so many toys—too many toys.
“Do you like it?” I heard Ma ask Navy, and at her words, I took the stairs two at a time, seeing four more doors up here.
The first door was a bathroom, the second a bedroom with a double bed inside, then the third was a main bedroom, twice the size as the other bedroom, complete with a walk-in closet and its own bathroom. It was way bigger than my room at the main house.
“I love it,” Navy said, her voice oozing happiness.
I finally found them in the last room—the nursery. A mural had been painted on all of the walls, Dario’s name front and center. There was no doubting that Sofia had done this. Stars were painted on the ceiling, giving a gentle glow as the sun started to set.
“Wow,” I murmured, trying to take it all in.
A crib sat against one wall, a rocking chair in the corner. Furniture all customized drew my attention, but it was the photograph of me, Navy, and Dario that had me moving inside. We looked like a proper family—a real one. And this house…this house made it feel all the more real.
“What do you think, Dante?” Ma asked, her voice tentative. I wanted to tell her yet again that we couldn’t take it, that it was too much, but my gut…my gut was telling me this was where we were meant to raise Dario, where we could build our life.
“You didn’t have to do this, Ma.”
“I know I didn’t.” She paused as I stepped toward her. “I wanted to.”
I didn’t hesitate as I wrapped my arms around her, then pulled Navy into the hug.
I’d come home a couple of months ago, not having a single clue what had been waiting for me, and now, I wasn’t sure who I would have become if Navy hadn’t run into me that day with her pregnant stomach.
I’d changed. I was a better man. A loyal man. A man who had things to live for. A man who protected his family at all costs.

DANTE
“More,” she begged, grinding her pussy into my face. We’d been waiting four weeks for this.
Four weeks of not being able to touch her the way I wanted to.
Four weeks of teasing and touches.
Four weeks of waiting…and waiting. And now, finally, I could touch her.
I could lick her.
I could fuck her, just the way I wanted to.
I dug my fingers into her ass cheeks, bringing her back up off the bed as I feasted on her pussy like it was my last meal.
