He lifts me up slightly before pulling me down into his next thrust. I fall forward, muffling my moans into his neck. Roman seems to be done letting me lead. He powers upward unrelentingly, fucking me hard enough to make me scream. But I don’t. Because we’ve got a baby in the living room and an aunt who most definitely knows what we’re doing and was kind enough to take our daughter and give us the much-needed space.
Roman kisses me on the lips, whispering softly, “Come for me,lupacchiotta.”
His voice spurs me on, the perfect trigger as I detonate. I feel boneless and utterly sated as I fall against him, taking soft gasping breaths. He’s not too far behind me.
“Elena,” he groans, coming as well.
Once I start to take in full breaths, I kiss Roman’s cheek and climb off him.
“I need to take a shower,” I inform him.
“I’ll take one with you,” he offers.
My eyes narrow. “No, if you get in there with me, we’ll be in there for the next hour. And I simply don’t have time for that.”
“Fine,” he says, letting out an aggravated huff.
I grin as I skip over to the bathroom. Twenty minutes later, I’m freshly showered, dressed, and ready to go. Roman pulls on his boxers and his shirt before following me out the door. Kiara’s watching a TV show with the volume incredibly loud. She turns it down when she notices our presence.
“I see you’re done,” she says with a mischievous smile.
“That really wasn’t necessary, Kie,” I state, gesturing at the TV.
“I decide what’s necessary. Who knows what I’d hear coming from that room,” she says, shuddering dramatically.
Not wanting to get into it, I reach for Cassie. She giggles as I lift her up, throwing her in the air, only once because her daddy’s a control freak who scares easily. My darling child is more than four months old and is growing rapidly. And while I’m a little sad, I’m also fucking grateful that she’s so healthy.
“Hey, baby,” I say softly.
She reaches for my face with her tiny hands. Her hands are so soft. After holding her for a few more seconds, I hand her to her father, who had been watching us with an inscrutable expression. His face softens once she’s in his arms, though. I reach on my tiptoes to look at Cassie’s face.
“Mommy has to go somewhere. And Daddy’s going to drop you off with your Nonna,” I tell her. She smiles like she understands. I look up at her father next. “I’ll see you later?”
“Yeah, I’ll come pick you up when you’re done.”
He places a quick kiss against my lips and after I turn to the last person in the room. Kiara’s watching us with a disgusted expression.
“The three of you are so freaking perfect, it’s a little nauseating,” she says on a sigh.
I laugh. Roman rolls his eyes.
“I’ll see you later, Kie,” I tell my best friend.
She waves at me, a clear dismissal as she leans back against the couch to continue her show. After one last look at them, I head out the door.
Surprisingly, Tony’s already waiting for me in the car downstairs.
I arch an eyebrow once I’m seated inside. “Since when are you so punctual?”
“I’m always punctual,” he retorts.
It’s right on the tip of my tongue to name at least three occurrences that prove that’s not the case, but I shove it all down. We’re on a path of reconciliation; it would do me best not to pick a fight.
“Of course. Silly me. You’re great at arriving to places on time, Tony. The best.”
His brown eyes narrow. “The sarcasm is greatly not appreciated,” he says, although I notice the small smile on his lips.
We don’t say much else as he starts the car, driving us toward our family home. My dad called us both and asked to have lunch with us. I’m equal parts nervous and hopeful. I haven’t seen him in weeks. Roman told me to give him time and that’s exactly what I’ve been doing.
