Maddox’s words come back to me about him hating all women. It certainly looks that way.

The boys walk through to the kitchen, and I drop my earphones off my head onto my neck. “Geo, can I ask you something?”

He watches me as he chugs an overfilled glass of water then swipes the back of his hand over his mouth. “Sure.” He takes off in the direction of the bathroom, and I wonder did he mean sure, later? But fuck waiting for him. I have waited long enough this morning.

Maddox grumbles something under his breath, but I don’t have time to find out what.

“Where are you going?” I ask, following along behind Geovani.

“I called first shower,” he says like that explains why he’s in such a rush to get into the bathroom.

I follow him in, and he shuts the door behind me, a sexy-as-fuck smirk on his face. “Why do I feel like you just won something?”

He lets out a low chuckle. “Because I did.” He winks at me, stripping his shorts and underwear off in one move. I have seen him naked plenty of times before, but the sight of him in the buff still makes me drool a little. “Take a picture, Red,” he mutters like the smartass he is before jumping under the spray. It must be cold as fuck, but he doesn’t seem to care. He lets the water fall over his face, and I avert my gaze, knowing I have been creepy enough.

I take a towel and place it on the counter then hop up onto it so I can wait for him.

“What did you want to ask me?”

I chew the inside of my mouth. “I know you’re probably trying to keep your sister as far away from all this shit as possible, but do you think Catherine might be able to help us?”

The intense heat in his stare could melt glaciers. “Red,” he warns.

I sigh heavily. I knew this would be his reaction, and I get it. If I had a sister, I would be just as protective. “They wouldn’t need to be seen with me or anything. I just want her to have a look around in her records, see if there was anything else she mightbe able to find about my ma. I feel like we’re missing something important. Why did she work for Enzo for so long? She must have known how terrible he was with what we know about how he treats women. Why would she stick it out, knowing the risk to her and her family?”

“He might have threatened her with her life. Or maybe she was just as thick in it all as he is. I know you don’t want to believe that she could be that terrible, but look at Valentina, she certainly is.”

I stand, pacing back and forth. “I don’t believe it. I know my memory of her is hazy because I was so little, but she was a good person, I can feel it in my heart. She was nothing like Valentina.”

He motions for me to come toward him, and I take the towel, thinking that’s what he’s after, but he tosses that aside and pulls me under the cold spray with him. “Geovani,” I squeal, getting all soaked.

He chuckles darkly. “I’ll warm it up if you stay in here with me.”

I slap his chest playfully. “You better, asshole.”

He adjusts the water, and a flood of warmth comes over my skin. He peels the layers of my clothes off me, first my sweater, then my dress and underwear, till I’m standing bare-skinned before him. Then he does the most unexpected thing ever and pulls me into him closer so he can hug me. My tits press into his chest, and I embrace him back just as tightly, appreciating a minute of tenderness from him. Then he slaps my ass and the moment is broken. “Please tell me this pregnancy has you horny as hell. Because I’m fucking desperate for you this morning, Red.”

I pull back from him. “So fucking horny.” I smirk back at him, challenging him to make the next move. His hands run down my back until he gets to my ass where he squeezes, lifting me up and pressing my back into the cold tile wall, his lips ravishing mine. In one swift move, he impales me with his cock.

I moan into the room, his sudden fullness feeling so damn good as my pussy walls clench around him. I have been dying for one of them to touch me again, but since they found out I was pregnant, they have been different. Like they are worried they might break me or something. I was getting desperate, and if I hadn’t followed him in here to ask for a favor, I would have been ready to beg for a good dicking.

“Fuck, you feel so good, Red,” he says, pumping in and out of me.

I lick my lips, watching the place where we join as his massive cock enters me repeatedly, tingles running right through me. His mouth moves to my tits, sucking on my sensitive nipples. My fingernails dig into his shoulders. “Harder, Geo.”

His brow shoots up in question, and he pulls away from my tits with a pop.

“Please, I need it. And don’t stop sucking, it’s heavenly.”

A low rumble comes from him, and I know I don’t have to ask him twice. His lips are back on me, working my nipple with his tongue, slightly grazing over my sensitive flesh with his teeth as he does.

Then abruptly he pulls out of me and brings me back to standing. I turn around for him, shoving my ass back, and he’s right back inside of my pussy, screwing me roughly just the way I need him to. My moans of pleasure fill the air, along with the steam from the shower.

His hand moves around to my clit, spreading my juices all over my most sensitive spot. My eyes close in pleasure, and without warning, I scream his name as a mammoth orgasm rockets through me. His teeth sink into my shoulder as he pumps me roughly a few more times before he’s filling me with his own release, my body still spasming around him.

He slaps my ass before pulling out of me. I turn round and snuggle back into his solid chest, enjoying the way his big strong arms wrap around me. “Thank you,” I whisper into his chest.

“For fucking you?” he asks, confused.
