It was the first time I had ever seen him.
I don't blame my mother for keeping the truth from me about my father; she was ashamed, and not sure what to think since she was being told lies by Mr. DeLaurio.
“I feel like everything’s my fault for loving Marshall, but I was young and stupid. I was in a bad marriage,” Shannon explained, asking for forgiveness with her eyes.
“Did he love you too?” I asked.
She shook her head. “No. He was always faithful to your mother.”
I almost felt sorry for Mrs. DeLaurio; her pain was palpable.
“Al wanted to punish me and your father. He hired Hannah, and then told your father that you were his son.”
“Why?” I asked.
She said what I already knew. “Because he’s the devil incarnate. He really can’t stand to see anyone happy.”
“Yeah.”
“The more he saw me pull away, the more he wanted to ruin Marshall.” She stirred her cup of coffee, lost in memories. “Now, this was years later, after you and Rhiannon were both born, I no longer loved your father, but Al didn’t care.”
“Why did he kill her?” I asked, almost choking on the words.
“Because she found out, everything.” She took a deep breath. “And she was going to expose him.”
I ran a hand through my hair to keep from punching something. Anger, and hopelessness raced through me.
“Anything you need, please let me know,” Shannon said. Before she walked away, she glanced over her shoulder. “Oh, and Xavier, I love my daughter. I haven’t always been a good mother to her, but I want to be now. I want to see her happy.”
And, that’s when the beginnings of a plan fell into place.
Al DeLaurio’s jealousy had driven him mad. And I couldn’t let him get away with ruining our lives.
So, I built my empire up slowly, and maybe sometimes I didn’t always have the best judgement with business dealings, but I was always one-hundred percent fucking loyal. Loyal to giving Rhiannon the life I knew she deserved. And punishing that dick of a father of hers forever.
There’s nothing more powerful than a man in love. And I have been in love with Rhiannon since forever. And I’ll be in love with her for just as long.
So, paying people to infiltrate the DeLaurio mob was my first act. Next, I cut a deal with the Feds as soon as I had a leg to stand on. Then, the plan was set and put into motion. While DeLaurio was so busy coming after me for having his daughter, I was busy greasing the wheels on an already well-oiled plan.
Keeping Rhiannon in my grasp long enough to do so was the hard part. That girl is a fighter. With a light inside her that will never go out. Her father tried to dim it, Ian almost did, but I’m here now to fuel it and let it shine every day until it lights the fucking sky on fire.
It wasn’t easy. Took many years to get back to her, and to get to where I could take care of my princess the way I wanted to. But I'm here now, in her home, in her bedroom, on her bed about to show her all the ways I love her.
“You almost ruined everything,” I whisper. My hand travels up her dress, to her silky thighs, and I trace over the lace of her soaked panties.
“No, I didn’t ruin anything.” She smiles, her hand tracing over my face.
“Well, you did ruin one thing,” I breathe out.
“What did I ruin?”
“Me.”
She leans over, our lips meeting, and I open myself to her.
I pull her to straddle my lap, and with both hands on her hip, I grind her down onto my heavy cock. “Feel that? This is how much you ruin me.”
“Xavier,” she moans as her body continues to grind against my hardness.
