Hush: Family Secrets (20 page)

I hear him growl and this time my eyes meet his. “Have I not shown you how much I love you?” He narrows his eyes at me as he watches my face. He stands not waiting for my answer.

I am stunned when he walks away from the table. I lift my napkin from my lap because I feel the stupid tears coming on. I haven’t cried in so long. I thought I was over all the tears. I am mid sniffle when Hoobastank’s,
The Reason
, filters through the sound system.

I pause as I remember Uri walking in on me singing this very song. I look around the club for where he has gone and suddenly the lights come up on the main stage. Standing in the center of the stage is Uri with his hands in his pockets as he stares straight at me.

I gasp not because of the sexy man standing on the stage but because of the décor of the stage around him. The stage looks just like the shoe store we met in in Chicago. When Uri sees the recognition in my eyes his lips lift into a smile and he lifts one hand holding it out for me.

I laugh slightly while standing on shaky legs and move toward him as my eyes scan over the amazing replication. When I get to the edge of the stage Uri squats to grab my waist and lifts me onto the stage. I look up into his blue eyes and they are sparkling at me.

He pulls me in close and places a soft kiss to my lips. “There is never a need to doubt me, Love. I breathe to love you,” he cups my face and I feel a cool metal that was never there before. I pull his hand away to look at it and find a wedding band on it. I gasp and look up at him. “You think a ring can justify or deny the way I feel for you? I know you very well my little one.”

My lips tremble but I don’t have an answer. Uri kneels before me and pulls a box from his suit jacket. “When you married me I gave you the best wedding I could on short notice but I knew it would not be our last. You deserve more.

“I could not find rings that felt right then but I have them now. So I will ask you today, Love. Will you marry me, Valentina? Will you become my wife in front of all of our family and those that love you almost as much as I do?” He’s holding up a sparkling diamond ring that is just breathtaking.

“Yes,” my voice comes out so small because I’m fighting to hold back the tears. I clear my throat and say it louder. “Yes.”

The smile that lights up Uri’s face is amazing. I have never seen him smile like this before. He lifts to his feet placing the ring on my finger before wrapping his arms around me. With his forearms resting under my butt he holds me against his chest. Giving me a gentle kiss on the lips he says against them, “Are we still questioning my love?”

I shake my head and move to tuck my face into his neck. I’m still not ready to give him the news about being a father. I want to enjoy this moment for now. I know my father and Donatella will be happy for a wedding. I just don’t want to burst this bubble right now.

As if reading my mind Uri moves his lips to my ear sending a shiver up my spine. “This will not happen again. Do not hold back from me. You will tell me what bothers you no matter what it is,” he commands before placing a kiss under my ear. “Understood?”

I simply nod into the croak of his neck. I yelp when he slaps my ass. I pull back to look him in the eyes. My lip is poked out as I glare at him.

“I want to hear you,” he says with a sexy growl that I feel in my belly.

“Yes, I understand,” I grumble. Than in Italian I add. “Watch the hands.”

He slaps my ass again and replies. “When we get home I plan to spank you while I fuck you into next week,” he chuckles.

“Promises, promises old man,” I tease back.

“I have your old man,” he growls as he pulls me against his erection. 

I moan wrapping my legs around him and kiss his lips. “I’m ready to go home, Love,” I mock him.

Uri throws his head back. “You are getting better at that,” he says with a warm smile.

CHAPTER Thrity One

I lick my lips as Uri stands at the foot of the bed butt naked in all his fine ass glory. I may tease him about his age but he is fit and in better shape than most guys I know my own age. My eyes drop to his hard manhood and I can’t help but let my tongue peek out to wet my lips once more.

“See something you want?” he asks smugly.

“Not really,” I shrug and pull my fingernails up to my face to examine them.

A rumble sounds from deep within his chest and I look up just in time to see him move up the bed grabbing my ankles and dragging me half way down the bed to meet him. Uri hovers over me to peck my lips but pulls away quickly to move to my side out of habit.

I snake my hands under is arms and over his shoulders holding him in place. His eyes lock with mine and his brows lift. I bite my lip as I look up at him through my lashes. I want this. I want my husband in the one way I have never had him. I know I am ready. As he hovers above me I only see him. I feel no panic.

“I want this,” I say in a whisper. “I’m ready. Please.”

Uri’s face softens and he cups my face leaning down to plant a soft lingering kiss on my lips. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, positive. I trust you, Baby, I love you,” I whimper as his member grazes my folds. I can feel him hard and heavy against me.

He moves down my body causing me to whimper again at the loss of his heat. He starts hot wet kisses over my breasts before drawing one into his mouth. He sucks hard before biting down causing me to lift off the bed. My nipples are super sensitive and the attention to them drives me insane. I am so wet for him I can hear my own juices between my thighs as I shift.

He moves to suck on the other breast before making his way to my belly button. My husband has a serious thing for my belly button. He spends way more time than I can handle running his tongue around the perimeter of my little indent.

When he starts to murmur his love for me against my flesh my mind goes to the little life that is growing within the very spot he is worshipping.
Will he still love me once he finds out that I am carrying his child?
 

“Focus on me,” he growls. My eyes snap open and I lock eyes with him. His blue gaze is blazing back at me. I nod my head to let him know I am back with him.

Not taking his eyes off me Uri moves down between my thighs and takes his first long slow lick. I suck in a breath and fight to keep my eyes open. The heat in his eyes promises to light an all new fire within me as he devours my soaked flesh.

He groans his pleasure into me and I can feel that I am about to come. “Baby, I’m so close,” I cry out. I whimper in frustration when he pulls away. Like a big cat he climbs up my body. My clit is throbbing with need as my orgasm just hovers in the background.

Uri places his hands in mine and lifts them up over my head. With our fingers locked together and his heated eyes devouring mine he slides into me slowly. I can tell he is handling me with kid gloves to make sure I don’t freak out.

“Baby, I’m fine,” I reassure him. “Please, I need you.”

He dips his head to capture my lips in a sweet yet demanding kiss. His strokes are long, harder and torturously slow at first. I throw myself into the kiss, lifting my hips to meet his, trying my best to get more of him and faster. One of his hands releases mine as he reaches for my waist to still me. He breaks the kiss, pressing his forehead to mine.

“I’ve wanted to feel you beneath me from the first time I laid eyes on you. I will not be rushed,” he demands through tight lips.

I clutch my pussy walls around him to show him I don’t just want more I need more. “
Fuck
,” he groans before thrusting into me hard but not giving up his slow pace. His other hand moves to my waist and slides beneath me to cup my ass.

His strokes become deeper and it is just what I need to reach my hovering peak. I throw my head back into the pillow arching into him and he swivels his hips intensifying my orgasm. My body jerks hard against his and he growls moving his face to my neck and licking my sweat soaked skin.

“Uri,” I shout as I claw at his back.

He just grunts, grabbing my legs and shifting them to his shoulders. If I thought he was deep before I had no idea what he was capable of. Before I even make it down from my high he starts to pound into me with earnest. This man knows my body so well and he takes complete advantage of that fact.

With each stroke he makes sure to hit my clit and stroke my g-spot and the swirling, thrusting combination he is holding control of while pounding me into the mattress just proves his mastery of my body.

“Oh God,” I gasp as I speed toward my second orgasm.

“That’s not my name Love. Get it right,” Uri rasps cockily. “You’re so wet, Baby. Tell me who owns this pussy.”

“You do,” I moan.

“Not good enough Love,” he grunts.

“You do Uri. It’s all yours. I love you,” I cry out.

Leaning forward and trapping my knees to my chest he plants a searing kiss to my lips. His demanding pounding and the taste of me on his lips fast track my assent. When he reaches one hand into my thick mane and tugs my head back I shatter completely.

“Yes,” Uri growls. “Come all over my cock. Squeeze me tight, Love.”

“So good Baby,” I say hoarsely.

“Valentina,” he bellows as his seed spills into me.

I can feel him pulsing and emptying every drop deep within. I bury my face in his neck as my own shaking and twitching comes to a slow. I can feel his heart racing against my own chest and I can’t help but feel like this is the most intimate that we have ever been.

In this moment I love this man more than I ever have. He was patient with me for a whole year. It was well worth the wait. Being chest to chest with him while in his arms is the safest place I have ever been. I didn’t even think to freak out once.

As if reading my mind he cups my face with one hand and pushes the hair from my face with the other. “How are you feeling,” he asks as his eyes search my face.

I give him a goofy grin as my lids become heavy. “Amazing,” I sigh dreamily.

He chuckles and kisses my nose. His face then becomes serious. “Flush the rest of your birth control. There will be nothing between us from here on out. It is time,” he says with no room for questioning or arguing.

My eyes fly wide open as I look into his eyes to read what he is really saying to me. A weight is lifted off my chest and my heart bursts open. I am so excited now to tell him our news. I laugh with joy and cup his face in my hands running my fingers through his beard.

“I haven’t had my birth control since I had to rush from the apartment in London,” I smile up at him. “I forgot to pack it in the rush and with everything that has been going on I forgot about it all together.”

His eyes flicker over my face as my words sink in. He seems to be calculating in his head for a moment before he frowns. I’m sure he is wondering how I am not already pregnant since we hump like bunnies.

“I will have Rebecca make an appointment for us to see a specialist,” he grumbles still frowning in thought.

I go to tell him that it will not be necessary to see a specialist. Both of our parts are working just fine, but his phone breaks the moment. Uri’s phone stays on all night with the night clubs and his businesses overseas always needing attention.

He rolls to his side pulling me with him to lie across his chest as he reaches for the phone and answers it. I snuggle into his side excited about what I plan to tell him the moment he is off the phone.

“Hello,” Uri grumbles into the phone then kisses the top of my head. I feel him stiffen beneath me as the voice on the other end comes through. He sits up still holding onto me. “Pamela, Bella what is it?”

I stiffen this time to hear him use such a term of endearment toward this woman I have never met. I strain to hear what she is saying on the other end but I’m not getting much. I look into Uri’s face to see if I can read anything there. His face is stern, his jaw set as he listens intently.

He bites out a low curse and pinches his eyes shut. “Pamela, I know all of this is a shock to you but are you sure you want to walk away like this,” he says softly. He listens for a beat and nods his head as if she can see. “Okay, okay. I will meet you at the address I text you when I hang up. We will straighten this all out… no Sweetheart this is what I do. You and the girls will be safe while you figure this out. I will be there in an hour.”

I pull from his hold and cross my arms over my chest. I know I am scowling hard at him. He has to be fucking kidding me. This will be the second time he has jumped from our bed for this woman. I am not going to just roll over this time. Last time it almost cost me my life.

Not that I can’t protect myself but this man claims that it is his job to do so and he can’t do his job if he is always running after this woman. Besides we were just in the middle of an important conversation. How does he think this is okay?

“I need to take care of this,” he says as he looks at me.

“Why?” I hiss.

He rolls his eyes and cups my face kissing first the tip of my nose and then my lips. “My friend and God daughters need me. Their safety is important to me. I will not sleep if I don’t get them settled. I promise once our world and Pamela’s world are not so volatile I will let you meet her to see she is no threat,” he says his last words more gently.

“Uri,” I start but press my lips. “Just forget it.”

I don’t want to tell him that I am pregnant just before he leaves me to run to some other woman’s rescue. He scowls at me while searching my face. He sighs and runs a hand through his hair.

“We will talk when I return. Don’t wait up. I will most likely be back tomorrow. If you need me call me,” he says as he throws on his clothes.

“What if I need you now,” I grumble.

He stops and sighs. “Do you? Because you come first, but understand this woman and her children are family. If you don’t need me right now, know that they do,” he says with a lifted brow.

“Whatever,” I snap and get off the bed heading for the bathroom. I slam the door behind me harder than I mean to. I squeeze my eyes shut. I know his heart and I shouldn’t be so pissed but I can’t help it right now.
