“IVF?”
She leaned in and lowered her voice. “It means you won’t have to fuck me in the dark.”
My jaw clenched.
Deidre leaned back in her chair and quietly spoke to Orlando. “Lanny, I told you this was going to get interesting. Five bucks says Ally draws blood first.”
“Lanny? You’re giving me a nickname?” They whisper-spoke to each other behind our backs. “Are you good for the money?”
“Yes. And you’ll need to come up with a nickname for me. Make sure it’s a good one.”
Ant leaned forward. “Would it be rude to change seats?”
“I’ll trade with you.” Deidre slid back in her chair.
“Deidre?” Allegra scolded.
“Don’t worry. Now everyone is focused on me rather than you two. Obviously, you haven’t noticed you’re drawing attention. I’m sure they’re wondering if you’re going to stab him with one of your knives or kiss the smirk off his mouth.” Her eyes widened. “We can bet on that, too,” she enthusiastically said to Orlando.
“Deidre!”
She burped. “Oh.” She covered her mouth.
“How much have you had to drink?” Allegra gripped her wrist.
“I won’t drink anything else.” She leaned down. “I’m taking one for the team. If mom is focused on me, she won’t see how mean you’re being to Marco.”
“I’m not being mean. I’m proving a point.”
She snorted, scooted back from the table, and lifted a brow. “The dress proved your point.”
I agreed. The dress begged to be stripped from her body, as much as her mouth tempted.
Ant and Deidre changed seats as the antipasti course was served. Meat, cheese, and nuts filled charcuterie boards. Several were placed on the table, along with olive oil drizzled over tomato bruschetta.
Deidre sat between Orlando and Emilio and immediately engaged in a quiet conversation. My jaw tightened. I’d warned Orlando. The three appeared extremely comfortable with each other. I would deal with that tomorrow.
Orlando allowed his dick to do his negotiations, and Deidre was too much temptation. Sixteen was too young, andLannyhad a job to do.
I doubted responsibility to his family was suddenly going to become important to him. Not with a beautiful, half-drunk girl looking at him as if she’d offer her underage, illegal pussy up on a platter for dinner.
Unlike the woman next to me. Fuck me and the unfortunate circumstance of being overheard.
Salvatore stood and lifted his wine glass. “Tonight, is a special celebration.” He raised his glass to me. “Welcome to my home.”
“Your home and hospitality are most appreciated.” I slid my chair back and stood. “Our families have known each other a long time.” I lifted my glass. Seeing Allegra now, I wished I’d put a little more effort into the proposal. “Years of friendship have brought us to this day.”
I set my glass down on the table. I stood over Allegra and held my hand out to her.
Her wide eyes met mine. She swallowed and slid her trembling fingers into mine.
“You can stop this,” she whispered as she stood. “I won’t be a good wife for you.” Her long lashes lowered. When she lifted her gaze, the stubborn set of her mouth had me wanting to kiss her until her mouth bruised and I’d shattered her resistance.
Deidre leaned closer and hung on every word.
Sliding my fingers under Allegra’s hair, I wrapped my hand around her neck, pulled her intimately closer, and rested my cheek against hers as I spoke into her ear. “You’re a liar, topolina.” I softly kissed her cheek. “I won’t just fuck you in the dark. As my wife, I’ll fuck you wherever and whenever I want.”
“Do you expect me to wait while you finish with the other women in your bed?” Her breath rasped against my cheek. “Giada doesn’t like to share, and I won’t share you with Francesca.”
