Adriano could not disguise his fear of rejection.

He stood upright, his back pressed against my body, my hands encircling his chest where his heart thudded.

"Of course. He's been crazy about her since he saw her enter the door," I acknowledged, glancing at my wife.

"Are we still talking about dogs or is it about the owners this time?" asked Ana María, making Nikita laugh again. That woman missed nothing.

"For the purpose, it's the same," I admitted without embarrassment. She nodded in satisfaction and Nikita's smile lingered. God, she was beautiful!

Ana called Adriano, warning him it was bath time, that he had to do his homework, and she, meanwhile, would start on dinner. She reached out to the boy who was reluctant to leave. He could have stayed all night there, watching the animals interact. My son grumbled quietly.

"Ana is right, Adri, go with her. The sooner you bathe, the sooner you'll finish your homework and then you can watch the dogs some more." I ruffled his hair.

"Okay," he sighed, unconvinced.

Before leaving the room, Adriano stopped, turned around, and called out to his aunt.

"Nikita." She looked back at him.

"Yes?"

"Thanks for bringing Brutus a friend. I know Lady Killer is a guardian and the real reason is to protect us, but..."

"We all need someone of our own kind to understand us," she preempted him, winking.

He liked the answer; I could tell by the gesture he made with his face. Was it possible that aunt and nephew would really click?

My cook urged him on, and they both left.

I pulled my wife close by the waist and pressed her against me. She looked exhausted; perhaps I had demanded too much, considering the circumstances. Her fingers flew to the back of my neck and caressed it with her nails.

"You made him happy today," I told her.

"It was good. His face lit up, I thought having a guard dog might help ease his nightmares." I hadn't even considered that.

"It might. But seeing how hot Lady Killer gets Brutus, we can't forget to give him the contraceptive pills, or we'll fill the house with dogs in a few months."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of her, and in the end, the trainer said it was more convenient to give her injections."

"Whatever, but let's not forget, I see us starting a kennel."

"Forget about the dogs. Are you going to tell me now what you talked about in the meeting?" Her nose slid down my neck, causing the muscles in my back to tense.

The hands that were on her waist reached down to the roundness of her buttocks.

"If you keep doing that, my brain goes straight to the basement," I confessed, pressing my erection against her belly.

Nikita playfully pushed me away to free herself.

"If you behave, maybe later I'll give your parts the inspection they need. But first, I want to know what you discussed when I wasn't around." My wife was not one to be satisfied with a few caresses and a promise of wild sex.

"How about we leave it for tomorrow? You look exhausted."

"Do I look too tired to talk and not to fuck?" she questioned, moving her hand to my groin.

"You know that part operates on its own, amore, if you don't want me to touch you, I won't."

"Your dick is as free as my mind. I think I can handle both, conversation and wet sex in the spa. How about a jacuzzi with champagne and if you satisfy my curiosity, I'll blow you?"
