“Do me a favor. Get dressed up to hang with Uncle G today. I’m going to send Uncle Jace to come pick you up. I’ll have a surprise waiting. Don’t worry about your dad. I’ll help him with his sads too.”

“Thank you, Uncle Gio. I love you.”

“I love you too, princess. Always.”

I hang up and stare at nothing. The gaming studio was finished a few days ago. There’s nothing stopping Lizzy from moving in with Dante.

“Lizzy moves in today. Jace, I need you to go see Detective Rossi, drop him that package and make sure he comes in to see Dante this morning with an update. You know what to have him say. After you see him, pick Bella up and bring her to the office,” I say as I feel him and Ny enter the room.

“Rossi is the one handling Bethany’s investigation, right?” Ny asks.

“Yeah, he’s a friend of ours.”

“Cool, you need anything from me?” Ny asks as she comes and stands before me.

I stand, towering over her and look down into her eyes. She looks up at me, searching my gaze. She’s combed out her hair and has it up in a ponytail now, making her look so much younger.

Do I need anything? Yes, I do. I need her to help me calm the fuck down before I leave out of this apartment for the day.

I grasp the back of her neck and crush her lips with mine. She yields to me as I devour her mouth. The feel of her palms against my skin is like a soothing balm.

I kiss my way down her neck, nuzzling her skin. She smells so good. I drag my lips back up to her face, covering her mouth to breathe her in.

Before spinning us to face the bed, I pull my towel from my waist. Swiftly, I bend her over the side of the bed and run my tip through her already wet pussy. Good, I need to fuck this frustration away.

Tapping my cock between her cheeks, I then slowly push down to slip inside of her. I grind my teeth as her tight heat sucks me in.

“Oh my God, Gio,” she calls out.

I slap her ass and start to pound into her, reaching between her legs to rub her nub. Once she starts to cream all over me, I grunt and lick my lips. Grasping a tight hold of her waist, I bend my legs for a new angle and work my hips until she’s sopping wet.

My gaze lands on the tat between her shoulder blades. It’s sexy as fuck on her. I place my hands on her shoulders and hold tight as I lift a leg and plant my foot on the bed while I continue to thrust until she lifts up on her toes, legs shaking and juices running down her thighs. It doesn’t take long for her legs to turn to jelly.

“Babe,” she whimpers as she tries to close them.

I slap her ass and watch as it jiggles. Fuck, she’s already convulsing. I pull out and drop to my knees. Then I dive face-first into her sweet-smelling core.

It’s like having a taste of the finest chocolate-covered caramel. The more she keens and whimpers, the deeper I push my face in. I rub her nub with my thumb as I hum and groan in satisfaction.

“Yes, Gio, yes,” she cries as she rocks her hips.

I knead her ass cheeks while holding her open as I devour her heat. Her juices coat my tongue like a fine brandy. I grin into her center as she punches the bed and moans into the sheets.

Needing to feel her around me, I stand again and take hold of her hips as I thrust back in. The way she ripples around me makes my eyes cross. My mouth falls open as I look down at her in awe.

Alternating slapping her ass cheeks one after the other, I pump deep inside her. When she tries to run, I chase her pussy down relentlessly. She reaches back to hold me off, but I knock her hand away and hold her up to take it.

“Gio, please,” she cries out. “Oh my God, you’re so deep.”

“Take it, take all of it,” I command.

Her tight pussy rains down on me as I chase my own release. Not ready to come, I pull out and turn her around to toss her onto the bed. She sits up before I can climb on after her. I throw my head back as she dives in, grabs my hips, then takes me into her mouth.

“Fuck yeah, Ny,” I grind out through my teeth.

Closing my eyes, I allow her to work her magic. I hold my hand behind her head and rock into her warm, wet mouth. Jace’s heavy footfalls cause me to open my eyes and look toward the door.

He’s fully dressed. He gives a nod and leaves. Before he’s forgotten altogether, I note he looks more like himself now.
