“Like I’d ever let you fall, Beautiful,” I assure her with a smile.
“So you keep saying.” She kisses my cheek. “Going to carry me intoourhouse now?”
“So, I get to live here too?” I grin.
“Basque Casserino,” she whispers into my ear, “if you keep giving me a hard time, I’m going to beat your ass in front of the guys.”
“Capisco, Signora.”I understand, ma’am.
She buries her face into the crook of my neck and giggles. I chuckle as I carry her up the stairs to the front door. One of the guys opens the large mahogany door and I carry Felicity over the threshold into our new home.
It’s a home that hasn’t been lived in since her maternal nonna Carmella. The very woman who the home was built for. It is a mini Italian palace. A person can’t stay here and not feel like royalty.
“Benvenuto a casa, mia regina,” I say, looking down at my queen.Welcome home, my queen.
“Benvenuto a casa, il mio re,” she replies, looking up at me and smiling.Welcome home, my king.
Her words are music to my ears. To be viewed as a king in her eyes is gratifying. I’ve waited a long time to hear those words.
“You look happy,” Felicity smiles.
“Beyond happy, Baby.” I kiss her.
“Won’t regret it?”
“Regret what?” I frown, making her laugh.
“Having my brother… your boss as a brother-in-law?”
Fuck. I hadn’t really thought about that. Nico is going to be part of my business life and personal life for eternity. Whether I like it or not.
“Judging by your face, I’m guessing you didn’t think about that!” Felicity busts out laughing. “Want to make a run for it? I’d understand.”
“Not a chance. You already said yes. Don’t try to make excuses now,” I grin and wink.
“Holding you to it, Mr. Casserino.”
“You can hold me to it, future Mrs. Casserino.” Felicity blushes at my words. “Do you like being called the future Mrs. Casserino?”
“I’ll like it more when the wordfutureisn’t part of the sentence,” she admits bashfully.
“Soon, Baby. Soon.” I kiss her again and then carry her farther into the house.
We toured the house with her in my arms. She attempted several times to wiggle out of my arms but I refused to let her down. I enjoyed carrying her around our new home.
“Are you going to put me down?” she says, gaining my attention. I laugh and shake my head.
“I will once we get to our room,” I reply, walking up the stairs.
“You could have taken the elevator,” she reminds me.
“Yeah, but that isn’t very manly,” I chuckle. She rolls her eyes and lays her head on my shoulder.
“I’ll let you get away with this manliness today but don’t get used to having your way with me,” she stifles a giggle.
“Fair enough, amore mio.”My love.
“You won’t get tired of me?” she asks, catching me off guard.
