“I’m always on my best behavior, Olivia,” he laughed, squeezing her tighter before leading her to a couch. There was so much love and light in this house, it was easy to see Gianna growing up here.
Her father shook my hand firmly. “I’m Salvatore Martin. Take a seat.”
“Olivia—”
“Livy,” her father cut in, his tone stern. Livy rolled her eyes, but they sparkled with love when she looked at her husband.
“He doesn’t allow anyone else to call me Olivia. He used to tell Anna that the one for her would never let another call her anything but Anna.” She eyed me knowingly, and I couldn’t help but return the gesture.
“Yes, I am the one for Gianna,” I stated clearly, making sure my tone emphasized the fact that this wasn’t up for debate. “My father is probably rolling over in his grave at the backwards way I’ve handled this. I’m going to be honest, I’ve already asked Gianna to marry me and she’s said yes. I’d like your blessing, but, and I mean no disrespect, should you withhold it, I’m keeping her anyway.”
“Is she pregnant?” Salvatore asked, his eyes narrowed and voice hard.
I lifted my chin, not in the least intimidated. “I hope so.”
He raised a brow, and I heard Livy stifle a laugh.
“Salvatore, I love your daughter more than anything on God’s green earth. She and my daughter are the center of my world, and I will do anything and everything to see that they are always happy and safe.”
Livy sniffled into a tissue and gave me a watery, but sincere smile. “I’m so happy for you two. All Anna has ever wanted was to be a wife and mother. It was all I wanted growing up too and I’m elated she is getting her dream as well.”
I looked to Salvatore, who was contemplating me. “You’ll keep her safe?” he reiterated. I’d wondered if either of them would recognize my name.
“Yes sir,” I responded fervently. “The safety of my family will always be my number one priority.”
He nodded and stood, walking over to me and holding out his hand. I got to my feet, and we shook before he pulled me in for a hug, slapping me on the back. A little harder than necessary, in my opinion.
“Welcome to the family, Nic. Now, you’d better get my little girl down the aisle and stop living in sin.” There was a threat in his voice, and I stored that away for future use in case it took more coercion to get Anna to marry me.
Livy hugged me as well, then I invited them to join us for brunch the following Sunday. They eagerly accepted, excited to see Anna and to meet Sophia and my mother.
FIFTEEN
Anna
I woke up the same way I had for the last week or so, to the feel of Nic’s hot breath against my skin. My legs spread wider, to give him more room as he wedged his shoulders between them.
“Morning,” I moaned, my voice cracking.
“Need a taste of this sweet pussy,” he growled.
“Oh my,” I gasped. My clit throbbed, my body tightening and warming.
“Lift up and give it to me.” His voice was pure sex, and it only made my pussy throb harder.
My hips rose off the mattress, as though they had a will of their own, my legs trembling at the touch of his tongue on my clit. He gave it a slow lick, and my fingers clenched in the sheets. Then he flicked his tongue around my clit, and my hips hiked farther up. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the sight of his dark head bent between my legs as he tortured me with his mouth. I whimpered in need and the sound spurred him on. He ate me like he couldn’t get enough of my taste, tongue-fucking me until I was hanging by a thread, so close to a huge orgasm but unable to quite get there.
“Please,” I begged, desperate to come.
He chuckled darkly before wrapping his lips around my clit, sucking hard, and thrusting two fingers inside me. Twisting his wrist as he plunged them in and out of me, it didn’t take long for me to fly over the edge. Nic took several more licks at me before he released my hips and let them drop back down onto the mattress. I was a boneless heap while he kissed up my body and nibbled at my neck. I felt his hardness, hot against my leg. I shifted my hips, fully expecting him to take advantage of our position and slide inside me. I was surprised when he pulled away and dropped a kiss onto the top of my head instead.
“But what about you?” I asked, sliding my palm up his thigh.
He wrapped his hand around my wrist, stopping my upward progress and making my eyes bug out.
