“Baby!” Faith called out. She rinsed herself off and grabbed the other towel off the rack. She followed Eli inside where he was standing at the kitchen sink, pouring a glass of wine. “Please don’t be mad at me.”
“I’m not mad.” Eli sipped his wine. “I’m just wondering why you’re wasting my time.”
“Eli!” Faith’s voice cracked and he put down the glass. “I love you more than anything! And I’m sorry if I feel things might south in the future.”
“If you feel that way, Faye, then we need to call it quits. I can’t be with someone who constantly thinks I’m about to cheat when I haven’t done so.”
“I’ve been talking to my friends and…”
“You’ve been talking to your friends…” He repeated and shook his head. “Of course.”
“Hear me out!” She softly pleaded. “I’ve been talking with them and they feel your behavior now might indicate where you might go in the future.”
Eli finished his wine and softly nodded. “If you can’t trust me, leave me alone. We’ll go our separate ways.”
Faith inched closer to Eli and pressed her body against his. “I do trust you,” she whispered.
Her words told a different story from her eyes. Her heart believed outsiders before it heard a single word Eli said. “Faye, I only want you,” Eli sniffed her neck. She smelled clean and fresh, with a touch of sweetness.
He was angry at her, and rightfully so. But his cock reminded him how much he wanted her despite the anger. He softly squeezed her breasts, circling the nipples, through the towel. He slowly removed it and let it fall to the floor. “Those other girls don’t mean shit to me. You’re the only one I want to make a D’Amato.”
Faith closed her eyes and softly breathed through her mouth. Her lips formed a small O and her sex yearned for Eli’s touch. “I know, but…”
“Shhh…” Eli rocked her side to side. “You’re the only one I brought here. You’re the only one I love. You’re the only one I’m in love with. Yeah, we have our problems but sometimes we need to take a break from each other. But Faye, you’re the only one I go back to. The only one.”
Faith hooked her hands under Eli’s towel and removed it. His cinnamon-colored thickness lightly bounced in her hands. Her mouth watered just by looking at it. “Issa snack.”
“Mmm…” Eli licked his lips. He picked up his girlfriend and carried her back to their bedroom. “I’m rather hungry myself.”

“You’re quiet there, baby brother,” Nick asked as they arrived back in New York. “You okay there?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.” The memory dissipated into Eli’s mind and he refocused on the present. “Just thinking about everything.”
“Speak now or forever hold your peace.”
Eli shook his head. “My wife never trusted me from the start. She blatantly said she was waiting for me to cheat on her, and she was talking with her friends about me, and with her mom about me and she was listening to everyone else and I should’ve…” A loud sigh. “….I should’ve left her alone the moment she said that.”
