“You think Javier will approve of the deal?”

“He will. He’s getting a discount working with the Melccionas while still working with a reputable family.”

“You’re more confident than I am. I don’t know.” Em shakes his head in disbelief. “Something about Javi has me thinking he’s agreeing too easily or doesn’t plan on saying yes in the end and just has you going on the run so he can fuck with you.”

“Fuck with me how? What is he going to do? He wouldn’t risk anything happening to his product, trust me on that.”

“I guess.” I can still see the skepticism in his eyes, but he doesn’t question me further.

Chapter 26

“What smells so good,farfalla?” I ask, walking into the kitchen. I was over at Emilio’s going over plans for tonight’s run and any contingency plans, just in case.

Mia gives me a warm smile and I’m struck by her beauty all over again like it’s the first time. She looks so at ease and comfortable in my apartment, and I can’t wait to see her in the home she creates for us. “I just took out the loaf of bread I baked to go with dinner. How does honey garlic chicken sound?”

“Delicious, baby, but I won’t be home for dinner tonight.” Her smile falters and I wrap my arms around her, kissing her until she sags against me. “I’m sorry. I have something important to take care of tonight or I wouldn’t dare turn down a meal made by my beautiful wife. I’ll be home late, so don’t wait up for me. I’ll wake you up with my mouth on your sweet pussy, though, if you don’t mind.” I kiss her again, and she hops up into my arms, wrapping her legs around me as I set her on the counter.

“I don’t mind. I insist, actually.”

“Good.” I nuzzle her neck, inhaling her floral scent that makes me think of her running through a field of wildflowers with a wide smile as she calls over her shoulder for me to catch her.

“I ordered a few things for the house today,” she tells me, scratching her nails through my hair. Damn, that feels good.

“You did? What did you get?”

“I decided to start with the living room since I didn’t get a chance to have a tour of the upstairs yet.” Her cheeky grin has my dick remembering exactly why I didn’t get a chance to show her the entire house.

“I can take you back there anytime to finish the tour.” I wink. “I’ll also give you a key and the security code so you can go whenever you’d like, too.”

“Thank you. I had fun searching for the perfect things today.”

“I’m glad, baby. I hope you bought some expensive things, too.”

She smirks, running her finger down my jawline. “I did.”

“Good. Now, I have to change for my meeting. You want to come watch me?” Mia bursts out laughing and pats my cheek.

“Yes, husband, I’d very much like to watch you undress and then re-dress. It’s a free show I wouldn’t pass on.”

I lift her off the counter and carry her to our bedroom, loving the feel of her wrapped around me like a coiled snake.

I place her down the bed and she sits cross-legged with her eyes roving over my body with a cute little grin while I undress. I leave my briefs on and she frowns, making me laugh.

“Don’t worry,farfalla. I’m all yours later.”

“You don’t have time for me?” She pouts, looking at me with sad puppy eyes and a frown.

“Oh, no. Don’t give me that look. I have to meetyourfamily in an hour. I don’t have time to fuck you, shower, and get over there in time.”

“What if I told you I’ve been thinking about you all day and could easily come in a minute if you fucked me hard enough.”

Groaning, I hit my forehead against the doorframe of the closet. “Mia,” I say painfully, my cock already begging to be inside her. “You’re killing me.”

“I’m sure you need to focus during your meeting tonight, right? That might be difficult if you’re not taken care of first. My family might notice and want to kill you.”

I look at her from beneath my lashes and she grins victoriously, scrambling off the bed and shedding her clothes in two seconds flat before running to me and jumping back into my arms.
