There had been updates from Lettie about the guard, though. And he did manage to pull through, but it sounded like there would be some lifelong impacts for the poor guy.

“Don’t worry about him,” Aurelio had said, wrapping an arm around me, and pulling me against him. “We take care of our own. Even if he can’t work, he and his mom will be provided for.”

That didn’t lessen my guilt, though, as I imagined a young, healthy man suddenly debilitated from his injuries because he’d tried to save me and my son.

My only hope was that Luca and the rest of Aurelio’s family would be able to somehow handle this situation before Warren attacked again. Maybe they’d catch him off-guard and handle the whole thing without any injuries.

That, at least, was the hope.

We were pretty secluded up at the safe house, with only the rotation of guards around.

Despite the situation, though, it was like a little oasis to me. And, hopefully, to Aurelio as well.

I knew, objectively, it was maybe not great how we were playing house, were acting like a little family.

Especially if, when this was over, it turned out that Judah and I would need to… start over on our own.

To be fair, Aurelio wasn’t putting out any signs that he was sick of me, or us.

If anything, he was even more affectionate with me. And not just in bed. Or in the kitchen. Or in the bathroom, the laundry room, the living room, or any of the other places we’d had sex in the house when Judah was napping or sleeping.

He was always just finding a reason to touch me, to kiss me, to pull me close to him, or in for a hug.

There was no reason for me to be worried he wasn’t interested in this thing between us continuing.

I just couldn’t shake the worries. Or the insecurities. Some part of me wondering if he was only into me because I was there, because I was convenient, or because the sex was good.

Great.

Mind-freaking-blowing.

I’d been half-worried that my sex drive had gone away because of Warren or, even, because of pregnancy and motherhood. I didn’t know how the hormones worked, but I’d had no drive until Aurelio.

Now that I had him, though, I could barely resist climbing him all day long. I swear the only thing that held me back was the presence of my son.

“One… two… three… seven…” Judah counted as I ran through the house in my socks, looking for a hiding space that I hadn’t already used.

I yanked open the unused bedroom closet, to find Aurelio already sitting there on the floor.

“Oops,” I said, starting to close it, but he reached for me, grabbing my wrist, and yanking me inside, then closing the door with a silent click. “What are you doing?” I whispered, even though Judah was still murdering his countdown, making me aware that we needed to work a little more on numbers.

Aurelio was grabbing me, pulling me onto his lap, my back against his chest.

I was wearing just one of his shirts that I’d grabbed to put on when I’d climbed out of bed a few hours before, and I hadn’t bothered to dress yet, loving the feel of his big shirt on me, the smell of him still clinging to it.

“His terrible hiding skills are only eclipsed by his bad seeking skills,” Aurelio said as his fingers slid up my thigh, then into my panties where I was already getting wet for him. “We have a little time.”

“We can’t,” I insisted as I felt his hard cock against me while his fingers toyed with my clit.

“Yes, we can,” he countered, moving up onto his knees as he pushed me onto all fours, then drew my panties down my thighs, his hand going to my ass, giving it a squeeze.

“Maybe we can,” I agreed as he freed his cock, then slid it against me, making me arch back and stifle a whimper.

“Are you sure?” he teased as his cock rocked against my clit. “Maybe we should wait,” he added as his hands grabbed my breasts, squeezing, then twisting my nipples, making white-hot pain-pleasure course through me.

“Oh, my God. Just shut up and fuck me,” I begged, too far gone to feel any shame for pleading for his cock.

There was no use.
