Chapter 10
Chapter Ten
Rhett
I want to take Emiko inside right now. Watching her is driving me fucking crazy and she knows it. She keeps looking at me and smiling. Dammit.
“The twins need a bath before they change into their jammies. Is there a bathroom I can use?” she asks me.
“Yes. I’ll show you first, we can grab…towels.”
“Please behave,” Emiko tells the kids as I take her hand and pull her with me.
I take her to my room first and shut the door.
“You’ve been driving me crazy ever since you said yes to staying over,” I say as I stalk over to her.
I take her mouth with mine and she starts moaning. And fuck if I’m not instantly hard hearing her. I nibble my way down her neck as I rub myself on her. Fuck me.
“We have to wait,” she gasps as I bite her nipple through her shirt and bra.
I moan as she runs her hand over my cock. I don’t want to wait, but I know she’s right. Kids first. Pleasure later. Fucking fuck.
I show her the two bathrooms with the jetted tubs. They’re connected in the middle so she can keep an eye on both of them while they bathe. And the kids will like the bubbles. We head back out and Emiko takes them to get in their baths.
“You look happy, big brother,” Felicity says to me.
“I am. Just being around her makes me happy. And the kids? They’re incredible.”
“I like seeing you like this. And I love Emiko and her babies.”
“I love them too. I’m trying not to push her too fast. She’s been through a lot and I don’t want her to change her mind about me.”
“With the way she looks at you? There’s no way she’s changing her mind.”
I laugh. “I hope not.”
I see Emiko and the kids coming back outside. They’re adorable in their matching jammies.
“Are you sure you don’t mind camping with them?”
“Not even a little. Now go and spend time with your love.” Felicity smiles and gives me a hug.
I hug the kids and tell Emiko I’ll be waiting in my room for her. It’s only a few minutes later that she joins me. I pull her over to my bed and lay her down.
“You’re beautiful,” I say as I kiss her, running my hands under her shirt and getting it off her. “So fucking beautiful.”
She helps me get the rest of her clothes off and I take a minute to appreciate her. I stand up and undress slowly, as her eyes never leave my face and body. I run my hands up her legs and stop at her pussy. I look up at her and slowly lick her.
“Fuck,” she moans.
I lick her clit and she gasps. That sound is my new favorite sound. I slide a finger in her as I suck on her clit. I keep my eyes on her as she comes.
“Rhett,” she gasps as her pussy clamps down on my finger.
I smile as I watch her come down. I kiss my way up her body.
“Are you sure about this?” I ask. “Because once I have you, I’m not going to give you up. I don’t care what happens. You’re mine.”
“I’m yours, Rhett. And you’re mine,” she says as she kisses me.
I rub my cock on her as I kiss her and slowly push into her. Her pussy squeezes my cock as I move slowly. I can’t keep my eyes off her. I’ve never felt this connection to anyone before. I reach between us and circle her clit with my fingers. Her moans get louder as I move faster.
“Come with me, baby,” I growl as I pinch her clit.
“Oh god, yes,” she cries out.
“Fuck, I love you, Emiko,” I gasp as I cum in her. Her pussy has a vice grip on my cock and it feels like I’m never going to stop coming. I wrap my arms around her and hold her tight.
“Did you say you loved me?” she whispers.
I lift my head to look at her.
“I did. And I do. I can’t tell you how I feel that way after such a short time. But the moment I saw you, I knew you were it for me. You’re the one I’ve been waiting for. It’s okay if you don’t feel the same yet. You will. And I’m willing to wait as long as I have to.”
“I know that I want to be with you. And that’s something I never thought would happen. After I lost Seth, I told myself it’s okay if I’m alone forever. But now that I have you? I don’t want to be alone.”
“You’ll never be alone again. You and the kids are mine now.”
Emiko
Sleeping in Rhett’s arms was the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time. I wish I could fall asleep with him every night. I snuggle in more as his phone rings. I head to the bathroom as he answers it.
“Is everything okay?” I ask him as I climb back into bed with him.
“That was Lorenzo. He said there is a petition for custody that’s been submitted. He’s going to take your case and help us.”
“Do you trust him?”
“I trust him with my life. He’s the younger brother of Sebastiano and Domenico. He won’t let us down.”
Rhett holds me tight. “I won’t let anything happen. I promise.”
“I’m scared. You don’t understand. Seth’s parents have money. Lots of money and friends in high places.”
“I don’t care how much money they have, Emiko. I have the Mancinis and the Bastianinis. You don’t realize yet how they protect family. And we’re family.”
“Thank you, Rhett. I don’t know what I would do without you.”
“And you’ll never have to know what that’s like from now on. We should get up and check on the kids. You know, you can stay here whenever you want. Every night if you want.”
I laugh. “You’d get sick of me.”
“Never.”
We get out of bed and head downstairs. I can hear the twins laughing outside and I love that sound. I love how happy they’ve been lately. I hope they’re happy about me and Rhett. I know they love being with him, I just don’t want them to feel like he’s taking their daddy’s place.
“We have a surprise for you and Rhett tonight,” Felicity says to us. “Don’t ask me what it is. Just be ready later on.”
Rhett and I stare at her and laugh. We spend the day hanging out and playing with the kids. Every time I look at Rhett, he’s smiling at me. I love how it feels to have someone like him. He makes me feel whole again. And the best part? He loves my kids and they love him. Now all I need to do is figure out why Seth’s parents are doing this.

The surprise that Felicity planned was a dinner for Rhett and me. Adonis is a chef and he made the most incredible mushroom risotto and garlic-butter steak. Simone and Robin made a strawberry shortcake that was the best cake I’ve ever had.
“I still can’t believe that you called them all here just for this.” Rhett laughs.
“Well I can’t cook and neither can any of you weirdos. So I called in the only ones that could make this awesome feast. Now go inside and enjoy it. We have some barbecuing and s’mores-making to do out here.”
The twins cheer as Rhett and I go back in the house to enjoy our homemade feast.
This is one of the most perfect days I’ve had in forever.
