Giulia has been my wife for six years. It is time she stopped seeing her brother as an authority in her life.
"Do you?" She crosses her arms over her chest.
She does that when she's mad because she knows how much I enjoy seeing her naked tits. My wife is a firecracker and I love her.
"I do."
Giulia rolls her eyes. "Does that mean youaren'tgoing to cart me back to Las Vegas as soon as I'm dressed?"
"We can stay until Sunday, like you planned."
"Good. I didn't want to reschedule my appointment."
"About that. Are you sure you are ready to try for another baby?" I'm not taking anything for granted with my wife again.
Her hands sliding away from her breasts, she sits up in the water. "Aren't you?"
"My willingness to be a father again is not in question."
"I want more children, Raff. I just didn't want them too close together."
I kneel beside the tub and cup her face because I can'tnottouch her. "I know. What I'm asking is if it's still too close? You don't have to take the IUD out yet. They're safe for five years, aren't they?"
"Actually, the copper one I have can remain in the uterus for up to ten years."
Neri is only three. "Which means that the only thing that matters is if youwantto remove it."
"I decided to have it removed before my trip, remember?"
"But did you make that decision because you want another baby right now, or because you felt obligated to fulfill our father's agreement?"
She doesn't answer immediately, which lets me know she's thinking about it. I don't assume either way. I'm done making assumptions with my wife. Which is why I'm asking.
"I want another baby. I'd like our children to be close enough to share their childhood."
A feeling very much like joy surges through me. "Okay, then. I will accompany you to your doctor." As well as a full compliment of my men.
"Lara said she would talk to Matteo about using some of Severu's people for the detail."
"I brought enough guards to keep you and our son safe." Giulia has a four-person security team with her, including Lara. I brought an additional eight.
I'm taking no chances with my wife and son's safety.
Neri is overjoyed to see me when Giulia and I finally leave the room. We play with our son until lunch time, though I have to take a few calls and answer some emails. It's not as bad as it would have been a year ago, when I started training a both a junior CEO for our legitimate businesses and promoted one of my men to consigliere, giving us a council of three.
My man acts more as my second in command. Eventually, my father is going to have to hand the reins over officially. But until he does, I will make the necessary work arounds.
He and I don't see eye-to-eye on how to run the business, but he is still my father and the don. I made my vow to him the same as every other made man.
GIULIA
I knew having Raff with me to get my IUD removed wasn't the best idea, but there was no leaving him behind. I tried, suggesting he take the time to get some work done.
I swear sometimesnois my husband's favorite word. That must be where our son gets it from.
"You are not going into the exam room with me."
"I went to your appointments when you were pregnant."
