Share Us
“Yes. Carmine, Luca, and Matteo are. But Marco and Lorenzo are still single. That doesn’t matter. We take turns guarding the women in our family.”
“But I’m not family.”
He tucks hair behind my ears and shifts me to draw me closer.
“Sinead, the way people in this world decide things differs from the rest of the world. A lot of it is instinct. But a lot of it is taking in a shit ton of information, analyzing and processing it immediately, and deciding, knowing we can’t take it back. We’ve known each other less than a month, but I know what I want. I’ve thought about it nonstop. I’ve considered the good, the bad, and the ugly about us being in a relationship. I’m thirty-one-years-old and haven’t had a serious girlfriend since high school. I dated a little in college and after, but I always knew it was for their short-term company. It was never going to be serious. You are a different story. I will never force you to stay. The ‘if you leave, I’ll have to kill you’ bullshit is for the movies. You aren’t trapped with me. I want you to want to be with me as much as I want to be with you. If that changes, then you walk away whenever you want. But I pray you won’t.”
“You told me the other night at the club that we’d be monogamous from the start. You didn’t just mean sex, did you?”
“No, I did not.”
“You really do want me heart, mind, soul, and body.”
“I won’t share you, Sinead. Ever. If you want someone else, then we end it. You will never share me.”
“And if you want someone else?”
He kisses my neck as his hands grip my hips.
“There won’t be anyone else. If I haven’t found a single woman in thirty-one years that I would let into my life like I have you, I won’t find another. I won’t look for another.”
“You sound as though this is all an absolute.”
“It is on my part. I get you aren’t there yet.”
“How do you know that? I haven’t said I’m not.”
“You haven’t said you are.”
“Gabe, you make it sound like you want something beyond just long-term.”
“I do.”
“Something permanent?”
“Not right this very moment. But that’s the direction I want us to go.”
I stare at him, then I lean forward and kiss his cheek just in front of his ear before I whisper.
“If that’s the case, I’ll take my chances with the Bar. I don’t want to wait to be in a real relationship with you.”
“Piccolina, nothing will keep you from me. Not the fucking Bar Association. Not this case. Not whoever is trying to ruin me. Let them try.”
His hands grips my bare ass and squeeze.
“No one is taking me from you, Daddy. We belong together.”
As I lean back, he grasps my chin and turns my head. His kiss consumes me. He doesn’t let go of me, and I don’t want him to. It goes on and on, and I can’t breathe. But neither do I want to end it. When he releases my chin, I let him know I don’t like it. But he flips me around until I’m on my back again. His hand caresses my hip down to the back of my thigh, over to the front and up to my pussy.
“I wasn’t joking earlier. Do not wear panties again, Sinead. I will rip them off you and spank you if you do.”
My nipples tingle from that command.
“Yes, Daddy.”
I believe him too.
“Do you have other rules, Daddy?”
