“If you think stopping is an option, you’ve lost your fucking mind. I don’t care if it hurts. I need you.” She urges me deeper and lifts her hips before I can stop her. The movement has me losing my balance and I bottom out inside her glorious cunt. My body goes still when she sobs in pain. Her chest heaves as the reality of what just happened overwhelms her.

I press my lips to her neck as her body trembles underneath me. I begin to massage her clit between us again which helps her relax back into what we’re doing. Nina’s pelvis begins to rock with the motion of my thumb as her arms wrap around my back, her nails dig into my skin as she urges me on. She’s so fucking tight, her walls begin to convulse around me. I groan as I rut my hips into her.

“Bella, I’m not going to last, I need you to come with me,Amore Mio.” I force out through gritted teeth as I try to hold back. She screams out a second later as her cunt squeezes my cock, strangling my length. I can feel the piercings dragging against her tight channel more than I’m used to, and the sensation sends me over the edge.

“Gio –” my name is cut off as I thrust inside her harder than I had, the movement taking her by surprise before I still, emptying myself into the condom.

“Nina!” Her name comes out in a guttural moan as my vision goes fuzzy. “Fuck!”

I collapse on top of her, our chests heaving against one another as we catch our breaths. When my brain restarts after the incredible fucking release, I prop myself up onto my elbows to stare into her eyes. I realize there are tears streaming down her cheeks. My instinct is to pull out quickly and apologize but the expression on her face isn’t one of regret or hurt, it’s one of an all-consuming peace.

“Hey,” I gently press my mouth against her bruised lips. “What do you need?” I ask as my cock pulses inside her and she moans into the kiss.

“More of that, every day for the rest of my life.” She admits, her cheeks flush as she fights a grin.

A familiar voice calls my name pulling me from my slumber. I groan as reality begins to fade into the forefront of my consciousness. Pleasure and pain radiate through my entire body with every stretch I take as the memories of last night replay in my mind. My muscles are so deliciously sore. I feel like a new woman, in a way I suppose I am. When my eyelids flutter open, I catch sight of Giovanni fully dressed in one of his beautifully custom-tailored suits. Incoherent sounds pass my lips as I try to pull him back into bed with me. A deep chuckle reverberates through his chest as he looms over me.

“Good morning,Amore Mio.” He whispers the greeting just before his mouth gently presses to mine for the briefest of kisses. “I’m sorry to wake you,Bella. I just didn’t want you to wake up and me not be here without an explanation. I have some –” his words die on this tongue briefly. I can practically see the wheels turn in his head as he contemplates just how much he is going to tell me before he makes a decision to be truthful. “I have a few more people to question in order to find out how deep things are with your father before we take him out.”

A blissful sigh escapes my lips as he drones on about my father. Is it sad that I don’t care what happens to the man that provided half of my DNA anymore? Not that he ever cared about me, that much has become clearer than an invisible dog fence over the time I’ve been free and with the Ludovico family.

“As long as you come home to me, do what you need to.” I sigh, full of contentment. “Although, I don’t know that I’ll be doing much moving today anyway. After that last position, I’m pretty sure any flexibility I possessed has now vanished.” My skin heats when I realize what I’ve said aloud. Giovanni chuckles darkly, the gleam in his eyes tells me he’s thinking of every dirty thing he did to me last night.

His lips ghost against mine before he pulls away and stands to his full height. I prop myself up onto my elbow as I pull the blanket snug around my bare chest. Not that anything was showing before. His wicked smirk melts my insides as he retreats toward the door. Before he closes it behind him, he calls across the room to me.

“Rest up,Amore Mio. I have so much more planned for you tonight.” The sensual tone of his voice bathes me in anticipation. I feel my skin prick as goosebumps cover my entire body.

Once I'm alone with my own thoughts my brain is on full steam ahead, unable to stop thinking about what more there could be for him to do to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm ready, willing, and able. The curiosity is going to have me on edge all day. With the realization that I won't be able to fall back to sleep, I throw off the blankets and sit up to stretch my muscles. The cool breeze from the ceiling fan sends a chill through my still naked body. I scramble to the bathroom ready to warm up in the shower while I reluctantly wash off the evidence of last night's events.

I step through the doorway of the kitchen to find Vanna sitting at the island as usual, but she's on her laptop today. Jade is bouncing around like the ridiculously productive woman I've come to know and love. My lips curve up into a grin as it dawns on me that I love this family. I try to walk as discreetly as possible toward them.

Jade glances in my direction for a second with a knowing smirk before she goes back to her task. Meanwhile Vanna’s gaze lands on me and she arches a brow. As I slide into the seat next to her she wraps her arm around my shoulder and chuckles.

“Well, it looks like he finally staked his claim. Are you ok?” Her sweet maternal instinct to care for me makes me feel lighter. I do need to talk because so much has happened in the last twelve hours alone.

A breath whooshes from my body as I exhale deeply before I proceed with the events that lead to this morning.

“Yes, we had sex. It was amazing and terrifying. He's so big and he's got piercings. Is that normal? How many times in one night is normal? Is it normal that I'm so sore?” I rapid fire my questions at her one by one. Jade chokes on the coffee she's sipping as Vanna stares at me with her mouth agape. My gaze darts back and forth between the two women with confusion when I'm met with silence. “What? Did I do something wrong?”

“Jesus, what is with these boys and piercings?” Vanna mumbles under her breath. “Sweetheart, I love you like you're my blood, but this is just not a conversation I can have about my son. Let's call Brittany and get her over here so you can talk everything out. Ok?” She offers as she pulls me in for a tighter hug as she picks up her phone and quickly taps on the screen. Presumably to send a message to Brittany.

My skin heats as I realize that my instinct to share everything with them isn't the best idea in this situation. Vanna must notice my embarrassment because she places the device back on the counter and turns to face me. Her hands cup my cheeks and she offers me the sweetest and warmest smile as I shrink into myself.

“Hey, don't do that. You didn't do anything wrong. You didn't know. If it were anyone else, I'd have the conversation with you, but as a mother, the last thing I want or need to know about is my child’s sex life. I was only eighteen when I had him and sometimes it's hard to believe he's grown enough to be having sex.” She shakes her head with a slight smile as she appears lost in a memory. “He was my little Leo through and through, between his generosity and his need to protect those he cares about. You're in good hands, Nina.”

A strong vibration tickles my butt-cheek as a text message comes through my phone I forgot in my back pocket. I giggle to myself as I pull the device out to find a message from Giovanni.

Giovanni:

How are you feeling?

My lips curve up into a bigger grin as I quickly type back a response.

Nina:

Sore, but good. Ready to find out what you have in store for me tonight.

Giovanni:
