Aftermath (11 page)

He
rocked
with her and
she lifted,
gyrating
with those curvaceous hips and squeez
ed
him
making
demands.
Ariana
pushed h
arder and faster, “Nico…fuck me
!”

His resolve
shattered
and he held her face
; his thumbs pressed
hard
on
her earlobes
. She had no choice except to look him in the face and see the depth of the man with
out
barriers of pretense
.
They were skin to skin, in an intimate position when hearts are bared without words and what's required is listening.

Nico wondered if Ari felt the love sheathed in anger requesting entry to her heart and pleading for Ari to fulfill his emotional needs.

Nico
push
ed
further
and
her cervix naturally
accommodated his sizable staff.
The
erratic vaginal twitches
were the physical response
as she opened to him and
moaned on each upward
and downward stroke
. As he moved
he held her face
immobile
like an iron clasp
listening to her voice.

In ecstasy she complimented him in different languages,
yet
these were not the platitudes
he
wanted
to hear.
He handled her roughly, unable to hide his frustration or cancel-out the rejection
. S
he held him around the neck unable to discern pleasure from pain
or grasp the depth of his
emotional agony
. T
he selfish sex craved woman seemed more
concerned with
his dick th
a
n
his brain.

H
e
mov
ed
at
a frantic pace, speeding the tempo, making
her scream and kiss at his mouth, but he
led
th
e mating to
finally
settle who
the hell
was really in control. Sure, he allowed her to take liberties with his body when he was feeling generous, but
tonight he chose
to go rough, thinking about
her
previous statement
,
“Don’t get any ideas about you and me
Nico
, it’s only a fuck!”

He want
ed intimacy but she wanted detachment, he wanted long-
term;
she wanted one night stands and booty calls. He didn’t want any of those things with Ari
.
He
hungered for
her unconditional love!

The silk material was ripped away after he lowered her down and then he hoist her to the center of the bed.
He was beyond control and didn’t give a damn if he woke the dead. He didn’t give a shit about anything anymore except the sexy mother of his children raining
love the entire length of
his
hardened flesh.

Damn Ariana, I love you. Love me back sweetheart, that’s all I ask!

His hands pressed into the
mattress over her head
and he claimed her mouth and
saliva
as
his own.
The incorrigible woman’s response was to stretch her mouth wider, gyrate her hips, grip his ass and meet his thrusts with equal ferocity.

Her
lovely breasts bounced as Nico rocked her body and the bed. She drove him crazy
when she nibbled his bottom lip,
then
slid her hands down to hold the base of his
shaft
coated with their fluids
and w
ork
ed him good. Those fingers caressed and maddened him it felt so good. Ari whispered in his mouth, calling his dick a
n
anaconda and all types of crazy shit, but nothing of her love for
Nico
the man!

He shut-down emotionally and gave her what she wanted.

His mouth pushed down hard on her lips
to
shut
her
up. She had to take long nasal breaths for air as he p
ress
ed
her head into the fluffy pillow
. His pelvic bone ground forcefully
against her soft flesh while surging back and forth
prompting
throaty moans
during the
ir
conjugal act
.

The woman refused p
assive participa
tion and push
ed
forward
. He didn’t budge, instead he
removed her arms from his neck, easily breaking her hold and pinned them high above her head
and press
ed
her wrists
to the bed
with more force than n
ecessary
. His mouth detached from her lips and worked its way down to suckle her
breasts. There was little care given
to
the sensitivity of her nipple and he sucked and nibbled each one like a hungry beast. She squirmed and he gripped her tighter with his hands and teeth until she relent and
l
ie
immobile under the ferocity unleashed.

H
er eyes flew open
at
Nico’s roughness
. “Nico
!
”

Nico ejaculated during an upward thrust and she silenced. F
inally
, Ari
got it.
It took her a while but after tonight she’d think twice
about
using him as a tool.
He
demonstrated his emotionless side, usually
reserved for women interested in a sizable dick and nothing else.
Ari
received
detachment and
a callous fuck
!

His cell rang and he
hastily
withdrew
from the folds of her moistness
completely saturated from base to crown with
their
fluids.
“
I have to leave.” He said flatly then hopped off the bed, grabbed his clothes and
entered the
bathroom
. Then she hear
d
a loud boom
and
swore the
walls vibrated
.
Ari
blinked in disbelief.
Did he punch
the
wall?

Ari frowned, w
hat the heck was she thinking
?  Sleeping with him sent a mixed message. She was as confused as he was about their relationship. Oh, phooey, she wasn’t confused about a damn thing. Her heart craved Nico dammit but her brain kept working in a legal argument against
it
. Oh, such mumbo-jumbo, she scoffed in her head then released
an exasperated breath
,
beat the
fluffy pillow
and groaned, “Da
mmit Nico, why the hell can’t I
just
say
I
love you. I
don’t want to
live without you
–you’re what I want?”

She flopped on her back and stared at the ceiling
as she
listen
ed
to the
drumming sounds emanating from the
shower
. She envisioned Nico, standing there in naked glory, letting the water strike his taut flesh. Undoubtedly, scowling and pissed at her for refusing to give in.
Nico was as untamed and lethal
like the jungle
k
ing; accustomed to ruling and getting his way.
A
great lion
of a man who
kept her outside of his world
as protection but once she entered a
nd
glimpsed the violence
first-hand
, it was a scary wilderness. A
lawyer in the wilds of lawlessness is
the most
skittish of
t
he beasts, simply because it
’s
out of its element and words cannot deter sharp claws or jagged teeth.

The stickiness and throbbing
surrounding
her vaginal
region was a sore reminder of the sweet heaven
called Nico
she
reluctantly
relinquished
. She sighed, “I
love you Nico but I’m terrified
for our kids and my heart.
Oh, goodness listen to me talking to myself. Damn, I should just go in there and
say
…Nico, here’s the thing, I
’m scared
. I
can
talk
my way around a
courtroom
but
it’s
in
a controlled environment. I like
a little
danger
….
I married you didn’t I?
”

Frustration ruled and s
he gripped the side of her head, trying to clear the
‘a
fter sex with Nico
fog’
, “Ah, shoot, come on Ari, you
need to
stop second guessing yourself, you’re a lawyer with responsibilities, not some smack talking mob chick
!
”

Nico emerged from the bathroom fully clothed and glanced
in her direction
, “Who were you talking to?”

She climbed out of the bed
in need of a soothing bath after the rough sex
and on
the way past the tall
dark Sicilian
, she shrugged,
“
I have no idea
what you’re talking about
, you’re hearing things
.”

Ummm
damn you smell
good…look at you…all pissed a
t me but y
ou know you liked it
.
One thing I know about you Nico is you could never resist
this
pussy
because it sucks that anaconda like a licorice stick!

CHAPTER FOUR

Evangeline peered from her window overlooking the entire front of the estate. She saw
Nico
exiting.
He was very tall, even fr
om this height she
noticed
.
She smiled, ecstatic to have such a handsome and imposing older brother. If any of the guys at the uppity prep school she attended saw him coming, they’d piss in their pants. And he had sons, even better. Aaron was the adventurous of the pair and he was funny. The one Darren was too serious like his father and a bit stuck-up. When she asked what happened to his face, he walked away as if she hadn’t spoken
a word
. She wasn’t trying to hurt his feelings, she really wanted to know.

Aaron confided what happened to his brother and she felt bad. Unfortunately, people were shit
. That’s what her father always said. “
Evie
, remain wary of a
boy
interested in the size of your wallet and not your heart.” He warned on her sixteenth birthday as he stood beside the shiny Alfa Romeo dangling the keys in his hand. “This is my gift to you
…my daughter and
not my gift to a boy
,
c
apisce?”

“Yes, papa!” she shrieked happily and ran to the sleek white car.

Her sister Maddy received
what she
wanted
,
a Vespa and
a
puppy. What a stupid girl!

Anyway, she barely got to drive the car and when she did, it was with a bodyguard as a passenger and that was no fun. She checked the time on her cell, only three more hours and the party would end. She ran to
the guest room and tapped Aaron and he sat up, “Meet in the hall.” Then she hurried
to
Maddy’s
artsy decorated bedroom and gestured with her hand to the figure seated in the dark,
“Come, we can go.”

Maddy wasn’t happy about aiding her sister and tried once more to talk her out of the scheme. After-all, they had recently buried their beloved father and it didn’t seem right. “Evie, I do not feel good about this. Maybe, we should not go.”
