He grits his teeth and fucks me over and over again. His cock swells, and he stills, hovering over me, his gaze firmly on mine as he slides back in and groans my name. He buries his head in my neck and holds me against him. “Fuck, baby, that was—” he pauses almost as if he’s trying to figure out what to say.
“Amazing,” I breathe as I close my eyes. “So fucking amazing.”
He chuckles as he pulls out of me. I wince as pain hits, but I can’t move. I’m too damn exhausted. “Amazing doesn’t even come close.”
He’s right, it doesn’t. I never expected that I’d want more from this. I truly thought we would have sex and then he would leave, but the look in his eyes and his declaration of claiming me let me know that he and I are feeling very similar. I just don’t know how to deal with it all. I’ve never had a partner. Never had someone to rely on. I love Nell and Teagan. They’re my girls, my sisters. I’d die for them. But I’ve always been the strong one. The girls went through hell and needed me to be the one they leaned on. I don’t know how to be anything but strong.
Dario… He’s like a fucking tornado, and he’s going to want me to give him everything. I’m not sure how to do that.
I hear him move away from the bed, and he returns a few moments later. “I’m just going to clean you, baby. Just lie back and relax. I’ll run a bath. You’ll need it. It’ll help with the pain.”
I feel something wet and warm touch me, and I open my eyes to see Dario kneeling between my thighs as he cleans me.
“I’m too tired to move,” I tell him, closing my eyes once again, my heart pounding at the sight of him taking care of me.
It’s too much, way too much. I’ve never had anyone do that for me before. He’s getting under my skin and burying deep.
I don’t know if I can let this go any further. No matter how much I’d love for it to.
I have no idea how to be what he wants. I don’t even know who I truly am.
ELEVEN
DARIO
She’s fast asleep. She’s exhausted. I never intended for it to go that far. I never came here for that. I wanted to be here with her, to let her know that she’s not alone. But I couldn’t hold back. The moment she told me what she wanted, I couldn’t say no.
I reach for my cell and call Beppe. “Boss,” he answers.
“Busy?” I ask, hearing music in the background.
“I’m in Jefferson City. Tonight was recruitment night.”
I grin into the darkness. I forgot about that. Tonight, Beppe and the rest of the men who are moving to Missouri with me are recruiting new members to join the ranks of the Famiglia. “How did it go?”
“Better than expected. We’re doing extensive background checks on the guys, but from the reaction we got tonight, it looks as though Missouri could be bigger than Indiana.
Fuck. That’s a lot of recruits. Elio’s done a fucking great job expanding Indiana. If we’re able to grow Missouri, it means the Famiglia will be the second biggest family in the US, behind the Gallagher’s.
“Good. When are you back?”
He pauses. Beppe isn’t stupid. He’s far fucking from it. “What’s going on?”
I give him the low down on what happened today, letting him know that Lorenzo was hit, and Nell lost her life.
“Fucking bastard. Who the fuck was it?”
“He’s taken care of. He was paid to do it. He has no idea who it was that paid him.” Such fucking bullshit. There’s no normal fucker taking a job without knowing who’s paying you to do it. Just no fucking way.
“What do you need?”
“What I ask from you, Beppe, is not to be repeated to anyone.”
“You know I would never do that,” he says fiercely. “I’ll never betray the Famiglia, Dario. More importantly, I’ll never betray you.”
“I know, but this is confidential.”
I hear him moving, the music getting lower and lower as he does. “I’m listening.”
