I came up behind her, placing my hands on her hips. Nina leaned her head to the side as I nuzzled her neck. Damn she smelled good. She jumped when I nipped her skin, then pressed my growing dick against her ass.

“Zar, have you ever slept with anyone in this room,” Nina asked, moving her hips.

I groaned. “No, but that’s going to end today.”

Nina squeaked as I twisted her around, picked her up, then sat her on the dresser. She spread her legs wide, inviting me into my new paradise. Nina grabbed my shirt and pulled me into her heat. I took her mouth, kissing her with wildly. She moaned against my lips as I grinded into her. Nina grabbed for my belt buckle.

There was a light knock on the door before it was opened. GeeGee stepped inside, catching us red handed.

“Balthazar, leave that girl alone. Nina, come on we’re going to help Althaia with dinner,” she said.

I placed my forehead against Nina’s and whispered, “We’ll finish this tonight.” Nina snickered as I helped her off the dresser. She gave me a soft kiss before she went with GeeGee and left me with a raging hard-on.

Once I got my dick under control, I left my room. Hearing voices coming from Alistair’s room, I paused at his door.

“Alistair, you have to fix this. You can’t expect me to stay married to you. You don’t know me and I don’t know you. This is insane,” Hailey hissed.

“No, it’s not! I’m doing this to protect you and Devyn! Think about it Hailey, with both of your last names changed, your step-father can’t find you and if he does, then he’ll have to deal with me. I’m giving you a chance to start over, fresh. For Devyn, too, now she’s surrounded by people who will never hurt her and will do everything in their power to make sure no one else will. You saying we’re getting a divorce is off the table, so you better get used to your last name Mrs. Kourakos,” Alistair stated. The room went silent. I backed away from the door, not sure if they were getting ready to come out. I didn’t want to get caught eavesdropping on their conversation.

Mother and GeeGee kicked the chef out of the kitchen, so they could cook dinner for the family. While the women were getting acquainted, Father gathered the men in his office. I knew he and Grandfather wanted to talk about the Trent situation.

Grandfather sits in the wide back leather seat next to Father’s desk, lighting a cigar. He pulls on it hard, then blows out a thick puff of smoke.

“Your father and I will be accompanying you back to Dallas. I will be setting up a meeting for tomorrow afternoon with Salvatore Ganino. There are unspoken rules that every crime family abides by. It seems his has forgotten those. I think it’s time we remind them. I will request that he brings his grandson to the meeting.”

There was no way Trent and I could be in the same room. “Grandfather, if I see Trent, I’m going to kill him.”

Father chuckles. “I’m sure you will son and you will get your chance as soon as the meeting is over. Just have some patience.”

We stayed in the office for hours going over the meeting and catching up before Mother summoned us to the grand dining room. Grandfather went ahead and set up the meeting. We’ll be meeting with them at noon at one of Trent’s developing strip malls. I sent the address over to Hendrix, Frankie, and Mike letting them know to stake it out and have some men in position before the meeting takes place. We’ll be going straight there when we land.

We met the ladies in the dining room. My mouth watered as I stared at the Moussaka, roasted lamb meat with Tzatziki, Yemista, Greek salad, Soutzoukakia, Dolmades, and Briam. The delicious aroma from Momma and GeeGee’s home cooked meal, had my stomach doing summersaults.

“Balthazar stop drooling, and sit down,” Mother said, laughing.

I took my seat next to Nina, while Father and Grandfather sat at opposite ends of the table. Father smiled as he stared at everyone at the table. It used to just be him, Mother, Alistair, GeeGee and me at the table but now it was filled with our extended families. He may have to buy a new table because after I marry Nina we will be adding to ours.

After finishing the savory dinner, everyone went into den. Grandfather stayed for a while, then left saying he would be back in the morning before we leave. When the conversation turned toward Alistair and Hailey’s marriage, I took Nina upstairs, ready to finish what we started earlier.

“Is everything set,” I ask Hendrix.

Our flight back to Dallas landed about ten minutes ago with my men waiting on us. We have about thirty minutes to make it to the meeting. I wanted to check with Hendrix to see if our people were in place.

“Yeah, Mike insisted that he and his men stakeout the mall. They have been posted up since before sunrise. If Ganino tries anything, it would be a grave mistake on his part, because Mike’s team look like a bunch of crazy G. I. Joe’s gone rogue. What’s really up with him and his people,” Hendrix replies.

“I’m still trying to figure that out. Where are you now?”

“Frankie and I are parked at a gas station about a mile from the mall. When we see you guys pass, we’ll jump in behind you,” he answers.

“We’ll be there soon,” I tell him, then hang up.

I nod my head as Father looks over at me. Grandfather smiles while Alistair has that crazy look in his eyes. I guess I have to talk to him about keeping his finger off of his trigger until its necessary.

“Alistair, do not shoot anyone unless they shoot at us first,” I tell him. Grandfather chuckles. “Do you hear me, Alistair?”

“I hear you, Zar! Now, leave me alone while I get my mind right,” He sneers, cracking his neck.

“Alistair, your mind has never been right,” Xander kids, cracking up. Father, Grandfather, and I laugh right along with him. Alistair tries to keep a straight face but ends up laughing, too.
