I’d only ever been with experienced women. Having Lucia’s innocent mouth on my cock made me heady. What she lacked in experience, she made up for with lustful enthusiasm: sucking my cock, licking it, taking me to the point she gagged, all while I teased then sucked her clit and slid another finger into her cunt while my thumb kept its pressure on her ass. She arched her back, moaning, as she worked me with her hand, like she’d watched me do, and sucked. My cock swelled even thicker. When my release was moments away, I closed my mouth around her clit and sucked hard, penetrating her ass with my finger as I did. She cried out, the sound muffled by my thick, throbbing cock, and she stilled when I came, emptying into her mouth while she throbbed around my finger, pressing herself into my face, squeezing every ounce of pleasure from my tongue.

A moment later, Lucia lay beside me spent, her hair splayed out on the pillow, some of it falling on my face. She turned to me and slid one leg between mine.

“I liked that,” she said, kissing me.

“I’m glad, because I’ll want your little mouth around me often.” I checked my watch. They’d be here in twenty minutes. All I wanted to do was hold her, stay here with her, but I had to take care of business. “Go to sleep, Lucia.” I climbed out of bed and covered her with the blanket.

She shook her head and rose up on an elbow.

“My sister, Salvatore.”

“She’ll be fine. But if she orchestrated Jacob’s kidnapping, she’ll need to answer for that.”

“You’re not going to let anyone hurt her.”

It wasn’t a question, but I answered it anyway. “No. I’ll keep her safe. My intention is to keep everyone safe and end this.”

“I want to be there with her.”

“I want you to stay out of family business.”

“My sister is my family.”

I shook my head, my tone harder when I spoke. “Your sister is in over her head, and I want her out of it too. Can I trust you to stay here, or do I have to bind you?” I needed her to know this conversation was over.

She glanced at the restraints, perhaps remembering how easily I could do just what I said.

“You make me really mad,” she said.

“Mad I can handle. I just need you safe.”

She nodded.

“I need to have a shower. Stay.”

“Can I at least call Izzy?”

“That’s okay by me.” I tossed her my phone and walked into the bathroom to have a quick shower before everyone got there. It was going to be a long night.

I wasn’t surprised when Dominic didn’t show up.

I also wasn’t surprised to find Lucia making her way down the stairs, dressed, clumsily working her crutches.
