“I feel bad for him. Couldn’t you have asked one of your soldiers to guard the mansion?” “If it was only Serafina, yes, but I won’t have anyone I don’t trust fully be alone with you, especially because you could feel threatened by a male guard you aren’t familiar with.” Nino kissed me again, his expression hard. “I won’t ever risk your wellbeing, Kiara. I can’t lose you.”
My eyes widened in horror. “I doubt Nino would threaten you.” “Oh, he would, definitely if you are concerned. You bring out the protective side in him, and not only in him.”
“And you say you don’t like sweet things, Remo,” Fabiano said in a teasing voice. Remo and he exchanged a look I didn’t understand. “You’re full of shit, Fabiano.”
“Tiny, this is your chance to grab a feel, don’t waste it.”
“Thanks for being patient.” Savio gave a one-shoulder shrug. “How about you show your gratefulness with a few delicious cupcakes?” I grinned. “Red velvet dough is in the fridge.” He looked surprised. “You’re starting to grow on me, Tiny.”
He straightened. “And with you as a mother, it’ll drown in love and sweets, that’s for sure.”
Nino pressed our foreheads together, and he swallowed. “Sometimes I feel like my insides are a raging flood of emotions when I look at you, but I don’t mind drowning.”
briefly. “I give you what should have been yours all along—whatever you want.”

But looking at Nino’s face I could tell he felt the same way because it felt like finally Nino wanted a baby as much as I did.
“But you’ll be glad for your emotions when you hold your child for the first time.” “I’m glad for my emotions when I look at you.”
Remo was a father. I was an uncle. Two new Falcones. Kiara would be ecstatic to have them in the mansion.
Remo never considered having kids, but he’d protect them with all he had, from this day on until his death. I knelt down beside him again, feeling his pulse, needing the reassurance that his heart was still beating. I wouldn’t let him die.
you want, you could sleep there.” “That sounds like a good plan. I want to be close to you.” Nino pressed a kiss to my forehead. “And I need you close. The problem with having emotions is that you realize how much you can lose.”
“You’ll be the best mother,” Nino murmured.
“You will have a child, or as many as you want, Kiara. You will.” Nino looked up, and the determination in his eyes calmed my anxious mind as it always did.
“I’m not here for sex. I have a wife.”
head. “Men are going to trip over themselves for a dance with you.” My eyes trailed over Leona in hot pants, a tight shirt and high heels, and Serafina in a glittery mini dress. “I think they’ll have a hard time choosing.”
“Let’s head over and show our men why they’d better appreciate us.”
“What the hell is that thing you’re wearing?” Savio asked me. “It’s a dress,” I said, flushing. “I know what dresses look like and that’s not it. That’s the lovechild of a tanktop and a bandana,” Savio said.
ear. “Don’t get too drunk. I want to shove up that dress and bury my face between your legs tonight. I want you to think of my tongue in your pussy when you dance later—to imagine how hard you come when I lick you, and you will again, tonight, if you stay lucid enough.”
“Leona, Fabiano’s girl, Serafina is Remo’s wife, and Kiara, Nino’s wife. I don’t think I’ll have to say more?”
I crossed the small space between us and hugged Remo for the first time in my life. “Thank you,” I whispered. “You are how I wish my brothers could have been. I don’t care what people say about you, I love you like a brother.”
“Sleep, Kiara,” he murmured eventually. “I’ll make sure you two are safe.” I knew he would.
“You’ll be as strong as your dad and your uncles,” I told my boy.
burns today, it’ll be us.” He pulled back, his eyes harsh. “I know it’s fucking much to ask right now, but shove your emotions down as far as you can. If we want to save them, I need you to be the sociopathic killer, not the husband or father, got it?” I gave a nod. “I will kill them all.” “You and I will.” He hit the gas and took us back home.

There was no pain, no fear, nothing, only the determination to save my wife and son.
“I love you more than my life.”
