“Of course. When I saw them walking around, I thought it was strange, so I wanted to get their attention and keep them close.” She smiled and looked down at the kids. “They’re so sweet. They were holding hands when I found them.”

“Well, at least they listened to one thing I said. I told Angelo to hold his sister’s hand.” We laughed and I thought about asking her to be our nanny. I knew Vinny would be mad, but the woman had just found my kids and kept them safe. What more did he need besides that to know our kids would be ok with her?

Catarina saw me lost in thought and said, “Well, I better get going. I’m glad I got to see the kids. Bye, you guys.” She waved and started to turn to walk away. I needed to stop her. That was it. In that moment, I made a decision for our family that I thought would be best.

“Catarina, wait!” She stopped and turned around. “I wanted to ask you something…” I hesitated briefly not just because I was nervous to ask, but I couldn’t hear the kids again. I looked down and around and saw them walking away, again. “You guys!” I snapped my fingers and pointed to my side. “Now.” Sometimes, I think those kids will be the death of me. “I’m sorry, Catarina. One second...” I looked back at the kids again. “You two will not move from my side. Angelo, grab my shirt and do not let go. I mean it. I need to speak to Ms. Catarina.”

Once the kids were by my side and holding onto me, I could breathe a little easier and focus on what I wanted to ask Catarina. I took a breath and said, “Vinny told me you were looking to become a nanny and I know that was about a year ago. I wondered if you would consider beingournanny.” She looked stunned, so I said, “You don’t have to answer now, but I hope you’ll think about it. I’m opening a boutique and between that and the kids and their activities and just trying to keep up with the house, I’m drownin’ a little bit. Today, you finding the kids and talking to them, that is why I know they’ll be safe with you. I don’t expect you to stay with us forever, but just until you find something more permanent, it would give you great experience.” She stopped me from talking because I was rambling on.

“Bianca, I don’t know what to say. Thank you for trusting me with your kids enough to want me to be your nanny. Kids wander off all the time. I’m glad I was here. I think I would say yes, but I’m really looking to have a live-in situation.”

I interrupted her. “Oh, I know. We have the room and I think you being a live-in would be perfect. It’s just what we need. And you know the kids already, so they’re comfortable with you. And you knowus!”

“Oh my gosh, is Vinny ok with this? I mean, I would have to leave my position at the restaurant.”

I waved it off, “Oh, he’ll be fine with it. Trust me, honey. We need you.” I smiled at her with a hopeful smile.

“Well... I don’t need to think about it. Yes! I would love to be a nanny to Angelo and Gianna. And I would love to move in. Can we schedule some time to talk about the details? You know, my last day at the restaurant and when you officially want me to start. Expectations and all that?”

“Of course. Oh my god, I’m so happy this will work out for us.” I went in to give her a hug and then I turned to the kids to see if they’d been paying attention. They were busy looking at toys on one of the aisle endcaps. I knew if I said anything to them about it, they would blab to Vinny before I could get a chance to talk to him, so I just smiled at them and said, “Ok, kids. Tell Ms. Catarina bye.” They said goodbye to her in unison. I reassured Catarina, “I’ll call you soon, ok?”

“That sounds great. Bye kids!” She waved and smiled while we turned, heading back to the cart I abandoned in my panic.

Vinny

When Bianca told me about Catarina being our nanny, I was pissed. Catarina hadn’t said anything off or out of line since the incident at the pizzeria when she fell, but I still had concerns. “You what? Bianca...I said I wouldthinkabout it. I can’t believe you went and made this decision without me.”

“Vinny, listen. I just knew it was perfect. With her finding the kids when they wandered off, it was like fate stepping in and saying this is who is supposed to help us right now.”

“As true as that may be, you made abigdecision without me. How fucked is that?” I tossed my cup in the sink.

“Vinny, language!”

“Stop. The kids are asleep and they’re out like a light. Seems they had a big day. Got lost and then got a newlive-innanny.” I started to walk past her, when she grabbed my arm.

“Vinny, please. Don’t be like that. I felt like, in that moment, I was making the best decision for our family. You followedyourdreams of opening the restaurant. I just want the same opportunity. And I can’t do that without help. You know that.” She stepped in close to me, running her hands over my chest and looked up at me with those dark eyes. “Come on, Vin. What can it hurt? Let’s give it a three-month trial. If it’s not working out, then we’ll part ways. We can talk to her about it. Think about it, yeah? This means more time for me and you.” She gripped my cock through my jeans and started unbuttoning my shirt.

“Bianca…” I said her name in a low gravelly voice. She pulled my shirt out of my pants and finished unbuttoning it. Then unzipped my pants and reached her hand inside.

In a sweet, sultry voice, she tempted, “There… See? You can’t stay mad at me. Imagine it. More time for me and you to do this, anytime and anywhere we want.” She kissed my chest as she jacked me off in my pants. My head tipped back as I let out a groan and leaned down to kiss her neck. I reached around her back, grabbing her ass with both hands.

“Bianca, I wanna take you on this table, right now.”

“So...take me then.” Her voice was dark.Fuck.She pulled her hand out of my pants and tossed her arms around my neck. I lifted her up, wrapping her legs around me and set her down on the table. I dropped my gaze to her chest. She was wearing this button up white shirt that was almost see through. Reaching up, I pulled her shirt open, yanking her bra down so I had full view of her beautiful fucking tits. I reached under her skirt to pull her panties down, only to discover she wasn’t wearing any. “Are you serious?”

“What? I took them off when I got home. I knew I was going to need to convince you to forgive me. So, do you? Forgive me, I mean?” She looked at me with a mischievous smile and it was sexy as hell.

“Let’s see. I’m not sure if I do, yet.” I reached down and grabbed her pussy, sliding my fingers back and forth before I dipped two of them inside, causing her to pant. “Breathless?”

“Vinny…” she moaned my name.

“No more decisions without me, right?” I continued working her as she bit her lip and moaned a little louder.

“Yes, Vinny. Oh god…”

“No, baby, just me.” Leaning over her, I took one of her nipples in my mouth and bit down just enough to make her gasp. “Ok…I forgive you.” I pulled my hand back, bringing it to my mouth to taste her, then pulled her up to kiss her.
