“Do you think I’m going to leave you over this?”
He doesn’t answer. He doesn’t have to.
“Daddy, I’m not going anywhere but where you go. I have shit to sort out, and I’m hurt and confused. But I want — I need — you beside me through this. I know I’m shutting you out right now because I have to work some of this out, but the only reason I haven’t run screaming into the hills is because I know you’re with me. That you’ll be here while I figure out what I’m thinking and feeling, and you’ll be here after, too. I love you, so you’re stuck with me.”
“Stuck only because I want you glued to my side.”
“You say the sweetest things.”
I slide my arms around his waist, careful not to touch his injury. I lean against him, but only on the side that doesn’t have bandages. His good arm tightens around me as he kisses my forehead.
“I wish I could fix all of this for you,piccolina.”
“I wish you could too. But this feels too big. Too far beyond our control for either one of us. For people like us, that makes it a thousand times worse. We both love being in control. Except, the only time I don’t feel like I have to be is when I’m with you. But I know you have no more control over what’s happening than I do. That must be driving you mad.”
“I want to crawl out of my skin.”
“I wish I could give that sense back to you, so I could feel calmer.”
His hand slides down to my ass and squeezes mercilessly. It hurts, and I’m instantly wet. His fingers dig into me, and I know he’s leaving marks. Marks I’ll relish seeing because they remind me we’re all right. That we’re together no matter what.
“No matter what happens, little girl. You are mine. We will work through this, whether it’s together or you telling me what you need. But don’t doubt that I will hold on to you and never let you go.”
He says the exact words I was thinking.
“Do you have any idea how much I want to suck you off right now?”
That surprises a deep chuckle from him.
“Not even a clue. How about you tell me?”
“I want to submit to you and suck you while I’m on my knees. But I also want to know I’m the one giving you pleasure. That you’re mine, despite finding out my family is who they are.”
“There’s the tiny amount of control you need while letting me have most of it.”
“Yes.”
“Do you know how much I want your ass over my lap while I spank you?”
“So that I remember you’ll always take care of me. Daddy, I need both, but we’re not alone. We’re at your parents’.”
His hand fists my hair and holds my head in place.
“I don’t give a shit where we are. If this is what you need, if this is how you need us, then take your fucking clothes off,piccolina. I expect you naked and over my lap in the next thirty seconds. I’m going to spank you until you can’t move without thinking about how I own you. Then you’re going to get on your knees and suck my cock. But I won’t come in your mouth. I won’t come on those magnificent tits. I’m going to come in your cunt because I can. Because it’s mine.”
If any other man ever said he owned me, I’d walk away and never look back. When Shapiro said it, I wanted to claw his eyes out. I know Enzo doesn’t see me as a possession, but he knows what I like to hear when we slip into these roles. I know he likes to say it because how we act when we are together is the one thing he can control without the real world fucking it up.
“I want that, Daddy. But I’m scared you’re too hurt for that. Seriously, Enzo.”
“I won’t push myself if for no other reason than I don’t need Auntie Carlotta or Maria coming back in here to sew me up again. I don’t need to feel that shit again, and I sure as hell don’t need them knowing why I opened my stitches. But you know neither injury is as bad as we feared. They’re little more than nasty cuts.”
The bullet I thought lodged in his shoulder actually only grazed his collar bone. I think it bled so much because it was so close to his neck. That’s what made him pass out. Not the pain. The one that grazed his ribs just pushed him over the edge. He has a few stitches, but he’s more bruised than anything else.
He slides his fingers over the top button of my shirt and tugs.
“Take this off before I rip it off you. Then we really will have questions to answer.”
I unbutton the top two, then whisk it over my head. I unfasten my bra. He snags it before it falls to the floor. Then the rest of my clothes are in a pile. He tugs my arm until I face away from him. He moves my arms, so my wrists cross at my lower back. Then my bra straps are binding them. I don’t know how he does it with only one hand. His hand wraps around my throat when he’s done.
