He takes out his phone. “Don’t worry about the cleanup. I’ll get with Enzo, and we’ll handle it.”

“Thanks, I appreciate that,” I say, and it doesn’t bypass me how far Matteo and I have come in such a short amount of time. How we went from enemies to working together to take down therealenemy.

“We’ll chat soon, but for now, go make sure my sister is truly okay.” He turns around and begins to walk out of the room, but before he’s out of sight, he turns back to me and says, “Thank you, Nicco. I don’t think I said that… Thank you for saving my sister.”

“I would’ve doneanythingto keep her safe. I always will.”

“I know,” he says with a respectful nod. “I know.”

As soon as he’s out of sight, I make my way down the hall to my room, knowing all I need in this moment is one thing; my girl.

NICCOLÒ

I’ve been working all day, going around to all of my capos to inform them of what happened last night with Mauricio and my dad. The transition of me taking over has been seamless since everyone was already expecting it, and for that, I’m thankful. It’s made coming home to Isabella quicker, which is great since this newfound anxiety of needing to know if she’s okay or not when we’re not together has decided to creep its way inside of me.

I begged her to stay home today to recover from the shit she went through last night. Thankfully, she didn’t put up much of a fight, so I checked in on her through the cameras all day. It’s the only thing that kept me from handcuffing her to me.

I walk into the penthouse and head straight for our room, already knowing Isabella just got into the bath.

Discarding my clothes on the floor, I walk into the en suite. “Hi, baby,” I say, strolling up to the tub.

The largest smile plays out on her face as she takes me in, her eyes roaming over my body slowly.

“Hi,” she says, her voice like music to my ears. “How was your day?”

“Good,” I say as I walk around to the other side of the tub so I’m behind her. “But it would’ve been better if I could’ve stayed home with you all day.” I tap her shoulder, gesturing to her to sit up so I can slide in behind her.

The heat from the water feels great on my skin but nowhere near as amazing as having Isabella wrapped in my arms. She leans back, snuggling herself into my chest while I wrap my arms around her. I bury my nose in her hair, inhaling the fresh floral scents of her bath salts.

“Everything went okay with the capos?” she asks.

“Yep. No questions were asked when I informed everyone of Mauricio and my dad’s deaths. It’s as if there was a silent understanding among us all.”

“That makes sense. You’ve had this planned out for quite some time now. It was inevitable,” she says, drawing circles on the surface of the water with her fingertips.

My cock rubs up against her sweet ass, waking the fuck up. I let out a small groan when Isabella wiggles into me even more.

“Want to know what else is inevitable?” I whisper in her ear, the restraint of having her so close yet too far away from me coming through. I need to sink myself into her. To feel her clench her tight pussy around my cock.

“I think I might have an idea,” she breathes out, and I know she’s feeling the effects of this fucking insatiable need we have for each other too.

Sliding my hand up to her breast, I rub her nipple between my fingers before giving it a light pinch, causing her to let out a small moan as she arches her back into me.

With my other hand, I graze her hip before running the tips of my fingers down to her core, and her moan immediately becomes louder.

“I want to feel you stretch around my cock, Isabella,” I say, running my fingers up and down her slit. “I want to bury myself so deep inside of you that I’m all you can feel for days on end.”

She shifts, pushing her ass into me even more, and now it’s my turn to let out a groan. “Would you like that, my sweet Isabella?”

She nods.

“Use your words, baby.” I pinch her nipple again except harder this time.

“Yes,” she moans. “Please, Nicco. I need you.”

Her admission lets the beast out inside of me. Taking two fingers, I slide them into her slick heat, and she cries out. “Oh,yes!”
