The Nanny and The Don

by Tatum James

“How about this? If my woman is working here when I make it back from Japan, I’m leveling this whole building, then you can sort that shit out with your insurance company.”

“Because you came in here and made yourself the queen of this house, no matter the circumstances that brought you here. You have literally saved my life and made this unfamiliar territory tolerable. I know I didn’t bring you here on the best terms, but I would be a fool not to tell you how much I appreciate everything you do for the kids. You’re like a prettier, chocolate-covered Mary Poppins,”

“And I said my princess is nobody’s servant, not even mine. Plus, I have to do something to pitch in after you slaved over a stove and made sure both me and the kids had something to eat.”

“I don’t mean your stature. I mean your personality, your aura, your light. They’re all big and bold. There is nothing small about you in general. You’re amazing and beautiful and special, Devlan. Don’t let anything or anyone make you feel any differently.”

Everything I do is because I think I love you. I think I loved you the first time I saw you,”

I yelped when a pair of huge hands snaked around my body. I almost melted through the floor when he leaned down and pressed his lips into my neck. Grabbing my hand off the counter, he pulled it behind me and ran it down the length of the rock-hard mass between his legs. He growled into my ear instantly ruining my panties.

“Since you came here, I wake up every morning just to see your smile and hear those children in there laugh and play. I used to live to make money and work until I passed out. Something shifted in me. Now I want this to be my life. I want you to be my life. You asked me why I got you fired. At the time, I was so furious that I didn’t want to talk about it. I wanted you. That’s why I did it, Devlan.

“My world stopped the first time you smiled at me. I’ll stop this muthafucka forever if you ask me to. Just stay here with me. Not because you’re scared of what I’ll do, but because you can’t stand to be away from me either. I need you like a flower needs rain. I was dying slowly before you came here. I want you to keep watering me,” he said, cupping my face.
