“No.”
“Then why come to me with all this bullshit?”
“Don’t forget who you are. I’m still your capo, and you will follow my orders. Is she pregnant yet?”
“I don’t know.”
“I will organize some test kits to be sent to you.”
“Don’t you think it’s a little early to be testing her?” Marcus asked.
“If you’re fucking her every single chance you get, she will be pregnant by now. There are means of finding out if she’s pregnant sooner rather than later. We don’t have any time to waste.”
“What is the rush?”
“Our family needs this. The Davis fortune cannot be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. It was bound to our names years ago, and we lost it. We’ve fought all this time to bring it back together, and Laura is the final piece of the puzzle and the sons you will have will flourish. We’ll be The Boss’s right-hand man. I have every faith in you, Marcus. I didn’t come here to draw you away, but to make sure you’re aware of the enemy lurking. You need to take care now more than ever.”
He didn’t agree, but a few moments later he saw his father out.
“A new enemy?” Laura said, startling him.
“Where were you?” Marcus asked.
“Passing by. You really need to learn to close the door. I’m the missing piece of the puzzle?”
He saw how pale she was.
“You shouldn’t be lurking in places you have no right to be in.”
“I wasn’t lurking. I was passing by. I’d been to the library, and now, I’d like a swim. If you’ll excuse me.”
Marcus went to stop her but knew it would be pointless. Whatever she heard, there was no reasoning with her now. Running fingers through his hair, he hated his father. Always stopping by unannounced and now, he had to cause a rift between his wife.
He’d been making progress.
They fucked every single chance they could get, and life had actually been fun. He didn’t think it would be possible to have fun with Laura, but here he was, living a good life. There was no way he could leave the house, and seeing no other point to ignore the pain in her eyes, he followed her down to his pool. There were no guards lingering, and he watched from his place as Laura stepped out of her clothes.
She wore a bikini, and he loved her body.
To some men, she was too curvy, but to him, she was perfect. There was nothing wrong with her abundant curves. They called to be touched, held, and fucked. Her hips were a favorite of his. Holding onto them as he plowed into her was a dream. If he’d known years ago how much he would have enjoyed her, he’d have stopped bullying her and started to guide her to belong to him. As it was, he’d fucked up, and now, he was having to deal with the consequences of his actions with her.
Not that it was a bad thing.
She had yet to push him out of their bed, so he must be doing something right.
“It’s just a power play for you,” she said, turning to face him.
“You knew I was watching you?”
“The wall’s made of glass, and well, your reflection is in most of them. I’m not hyper aware of you.” She stood in the water, staring at him.
“I’m not going to talk to you about the baby we’re going to have.”
She laughed. “You and your father, and I bet even the men in the family are so sure I can get pregnant.”
“You have reason to believe you’re not capable of it?”
“I don’t have any medical proof I can’t have children.”
“Then don’t put any doubt in your abilities.”
“But I never went out of my way to find out the truth or to be tested.”
“And? Just because you’ve not been tested, doesn’t mean you can’t have kids.”
“I’m aware of that, but you’re forgetting some women can’t have them. Some men can’t either. Are you fertile? Did you take a test? I wasn’t tested. Whatever it is you want from my father’s company may still fail.”
He stripped out of his clothing. “I don’t want to talk about this anymore.”
“And what you want you always get?”
“Yes.”
“I doubt that.”
“I can see that. Your mouth is going to get you in some serious trouble one day.”
“Did you always want to be married to me?”
“What’s your point?”
“You always get what you want, by your own claims, and yet, you’re married to me. You’ve got to get me pregnant, and for as long as we’ve known each other, you’ve hated my guts.”
“I haven’t hated you.”
“You haven’t liked me either.”
“I don’t see a reason to talk about this anymore.” He stripped naked, and dove into the pool, breaking the surface, and swimming toward her.
“Ah, the great almighty has spoken. I must do as I’m told and not upset him anymore.”
