Where You Belong (The Giannelli Series - Love in Little Italy #1)

by Nicole Baker

"You can follow me, Miss Moretti," Gabriel instructs. "Oh, you're Italian! Ma will love that." Marcus smiles at me mischievously.

She is so in tune with her surroundings and so articulate. I glance in the rearview mirror and see her looking curiously at the people outside. I guess that's what it's like to be an only child. You don't have someone to constantly bicker with and distract you. She reminds me of myself at her age. I had an inquisitive mind as well.

"Are you just going to stand there and watch me?" I ask. It looks like my words piss him off because his eyebrows draw together and his jaw clenches. "If you must know, I'm trying to figure out just how inappropriate my desire to have my way with you is," his cool tone states matter-of-factly.

can't let you go another second without showing you that there's not a damn thing you could do to disappoint me. And that you not getting off is not a you problem. That's a man's job. And instead of the guy owning up to the fact that he doesn't have the slightest clue what a real woman like you needs, he decided to make you feel bad about it."

"The moment I saw you, I knew you were distinct. Everything about you draws me further into your orbit. And looking at your body, I know I'll never see a sexier woman in my life."

"Squeeze for me. I want to see my cum drop of out of your pussy," he says. HOLY SHIT.

I’ve never made this for someone without getting several oohs and aahs. Like Kevin from The Office says of his chili, it’s what I do best.

“Did you like watching me coat your pussy with my cum, Alexis?” he asks. “I loved it,” I tell him truthfully. "That's my girl." He smirks.

“What the hell kind of fun are you referring to?” Marcus looks at me eagerly. "Dude, did you two fuck on these cheesecakes?” “No, of course not,” I say, and they look relieved. “I mean…not on them.” “Ugh, gross!” Lucas puts his plate down. “You guys had sex while baking these? Were they at least in the oven when that happened?” I place my hands in my pockets and look at the ground. “Disgusting! You two are animals!” Marcus states on his way to the garbage can, where he throws his remaining food in the trash. “Seriously, you could have warned us.” Mia gives me an accusatory look. “Well, would you have eaten them if I'd told you?” I defend. It’s not the best argument, but it’s all I’ve got. “Don’t ask stupid questions,” Marcus states. “No, we wouldn’t have eaten your sex cheesecake if we had known.”

It’s in this moment right now, I know for sure I’m in love with Alexis. How could I not be? She’s everything. She’s beautiful, smart, brave, kind-hearted, and she loves my daughter. It’s so evident in the way she is with her.

“I know it’s hard to understand. I was only here to help out until your grandma was better, and now that she is, you guys don’t need me anymore. I have to find a new job.” “I think we still need you,” she says.

“Gabriel. You and Sienna mean everything to me. I’ve been so miserable without the two of you. I don’t know what led your ex to decide she didn’t want you guys… didn’t want that life, but I couldn’t dream of a better life than being with you two.” He takes in a deep breath as I see his eyes look off in another direction. I know that move. He’s trying not to cry. When his eyes meet mine again, they are slightly shinier.

“Honey, I know you’re completely serious. That’s what I love about you. You somehow can start off by saying the sweetest, most romantic thing and follow it up with something crass.”
