“It’s never like that with anyone, Kenna,” he tells me as he sets me on my feet. “You are far beyond any other woman. You match me in every single way.”

I feel giddy like I’m some sort of school girl. But I smile at him and give him a soft kiss, letting him know just how much his words mean to me.

He returns my smile and turns me around so that I’ve got my back to him, shocking me when he reaches for my shampoo. I stay still and let him wash my hair, it’s the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, and the most personal. Not only does he wash my hair, he washes my entire body. I have never felt as loved as I do right now.

Once he’s finished, I escape the shower not saying anything; my throat is clogged and I’m on the verge of tears. I reach for my towel and wrap it around my body.

“Babe?” he questions as he shuts the shower off.

“Yeah?” My voice hoarse. I keep my head down, not looking in the mirror ahead of me as I don’t want to see his face, to see the confusion and hurt in his eyes.

Within seconds he’s standing in front of me, he puts his finger under my chin. I don’t look up, I can’t. He’s too close. He adds pressure and lifts my face, and my eyes meet his. “Babe, what’s going on?”

I shrug, “I’ve never had anyone do anything so sweet for me. I’ve known you for a few weeks Dante and you’ve already shown me more love than I’ve ever experienced.”

His face darkens but he quickly masks it. “Well, babe, you’d better get used to it. You’re the only person who gets this side of me,” he growls as he lowers his mouth down onto mine. His tongue sweeps into my mouth and he takes my breath away. It’s quick but still amazing. “Your family are assholes, they’ve treated you like shit for years and it stops now.”

I smile at him. He’s my protector, my perfect, amazing man. “God, I love you,” I tell him and his face transforms with a wide smile.

“Love you too, babe.” He lifts me in his arms and walks me toward the bedroom. “Time for sleep, tomorrow is a new day and I’ve got to have a meeting with my father and the other men.”

He sets me on my feet and hands me my pajama shorts and tank top. “What about Romero?” He’s now one of my men and we’ve decided not to tell his father about it as that motherfucker will be dead soon. It’s none of his damn business anyway.

“He’ll be coming with me. Until that asshole is dead, Romero will act accordingly to Famiglia.”

I frown. “Even when he’s married to Holly, and he’s our Underboss he’s still going to be very much part of the Famiglia,” I tell him and he watches me carefully. “Having him be our Underboss is a way of strengthening the link between the Clann and the Famiglia. He’s still your guy, he’s still your brother.”

His eyes soften. “I know,” he says softly, but I’m not sure he does.

“Have you spoken to him about his upcoming nuptials?”

He shakes his head, “He’s been very tight lipped about it all. I’ll talk to him tomorrow after the meeting with Dad.”

I pull on my pajamas and climb into bed, Dante’s just moments behind me. When he climbs in, his arms go around me and he pulls me into his body. “Sleep, babe,” he commands and I scrunch my nose up at him, causing him to chuckle. “Go to sleep, I’ve got you.”

I yawn and sink further into his embrace. “Good night, husband, love you.” I mumble as my eyes close. It’s not long until I fall into a deep sleep.

I wakeup to Dante’s mouth on my pussy, his tongue doing things that make my toes curl in pleasure. My fingers tangle into his hair and I tug as I grind against his mouth.

“Damn,” he growls and the vibrations of his words against my pussy sends shivers throughout my body.

I release his hair and grab hold of the sheets. “Dante!” I scream as my orgasm crashes through me.

He moves on the bed, positioning himself at my entrance, and thrusts into me. My orgasm is still rocking through my body as I’m clinging to the sheets.

“Morning, baby,” he whispers as he fucks me.

I smile at him, he’s face soft and his eyes still sleepy, he looks gorgeous. “Morning, darling.”

His eyes flash and I realize it’s the first time I’ve called him anything other than Dante. I’m lost in his gaze as I fuck him back, our bodies slick with sweat as we fuck mercilessly. Our breaths coming out in pants as we try and find our releases.

I come screaming his name once again and he groans in my ear as he releases inside of me yet again. It’s only going to be a matter of time until he knocks me up. I’m not so sure I’m ready for a baby, but I agree that I want nothing between us. If I get pregnant, then we’ll be happy and have our own little family. If I don’t, then it’s okay as it gives Dante and I longer together to learn everything there is to know about each other.

“Are you going to be okay?” he asks after a couple of minutes and I smile. He’s worried.

“Yeah, I’ll miss them, but we’re going to London next month for Danny’s wedding, and then a couple of weeks after that, we’ll see them all again as Holly and Romero are getting married.” I hate saying goodbye to my family, but I know this time that I’ll be seeing them soon. It won’t be another six months like last time.
