Chapter 26
Rafe
The view ahead is spectacular from here in the rolling hills as Dante’s fortress looms all around us. He chose this location wisely. It’s perched high on a hill, meaning the house commands a breathtaking view that seems to stretch to infinity.
It’s a testament to both his wealth and his paranoia.
But that’s the same for every mafia man.
Dante’s modern fortress is different to other mafia men, not only because it’s a marvel of modern architecture and security technology, all sleek lines and reinforced materials. But also because it doesn’t feel hemmed in by the high walls. Because despite the imposing high walls that encircle the property, there’s no sense of claustrophobia here.
And I get the reason Dante wanted this now. Despite doing his own thing for many years, he always knew one day he’d need the security that came with being a mafia head.
That’s something we cannot forget because, yes, there is natural beauty around, and the distant ocean that entices us ahead, but there’s always the reminder that no matter how high these walls, no matter how spectacular the view, we can’t escape the harsh realities of the world below, and the life we were born into.
Cade stands to my right, Lia to my left as I wrap my arm around Lia’s waist, and pull her toward me for a kiss. “Thank you for coming back and for making all of this possible.”
She turns and presses a kiss to my lips. “I’m glad I’m here.”
“Let’s see inside,” Dante says, taking Lia’s hand.
I tear my eyes away from the view. The beauty can wait. Right now, it’s time to show Lia her new home and show her how safe she and our babies are going to be.
Our babies.
Since Dante brought her back, I’ve tried not to mention the babies. I don’t want her thinking that’s all she is. When I know now, that’s not the case. I had thought these babies were key to my future with Cade, but my future can only be with everyone standing here.
And these babies, they feel like ours too.
I pause for a moment.
I wanted Cade and me to have babies with her, but I’ll no longer pressure her into that.
I’ve felt differently since she rescued me. Since she killed Ricardo for me. I know how much she loves me. All of us. And if these babies she is carrying are all she wants to have, I’ll love them like they are my own.
And I’m going to stand by my brother’s side when he takes the head position for the de Luca family, and I’ll protect her and be her bodyguard if she needs me when she rules.
I hold back a chuckle.
When I saw her picture, I never thought she had it in her to be the brave woman she is. Yet Lia is the bravest person I know.
“Wow!” Lia exclaims when we get inside the house.
My eyes are drawn to where she is looking. The panoramic windows dominate the far wall of the room. Beyond the glass, the world is a tapestry of lush greenery. And there, in the distance, is a strip of aquamarine so vivid it seems almost unreal.
I turn and squeeze Cade’s hand as I watch Lia’s eyes light up, her fingers trailing over the sleek leather of the couch. It’s strange to see her like this, so unguarded and genuinely excited.
“This is incredible,” she gushes, spinning slowly to take in the entire room. “The color scheme, the modern lines ... It's perfect. I would have chosen exactly the same things.”
I can’t help but smile at her excitement. There’s something infectious about Lia’s joy.
Dante chuckles, his deep laugh echoing in the spacious room. “That’s because I got your old boss, Harry, to ask you questions about what would look wonderful inside the house,” he reveals, pride coating his voice.
I raise an eyebrow, impressed despite myself. It’s a clever move, typical of Dante’s attention to detail. But he’s also good at making people do what he wants.
“You’re sly,” Lia accuses, but there’s no heat in her words. Instead, she laughs, the sound light and carefree in a way I’ve rarely heard from her. She’s normally so guarded. It’s a side of Lia I haven’t seen before, and I like it.
“Come with me.” We all follow Dante up the staircase and to the galleried landing.
There’s an elevator in the home which is hidden from the main entrance. And another secret staircase which leads to an underground bomb proof panic room. Despite the top security of this home, Dante isn’t taking any chances.
Dante opens the door at the end of the hallway. “There’s eight bedrooms, but I thought the twins would share at first.”
The door opens to a mink colored room. Only the accent of multi-colored furnishings and cushions dot around. Two white cots stand side by side against the back wall.
Lia slams her hand on her mouth. “It’s so pretty.”
“You like it?” Dante checks. “I wasn’t sure about the colors.”
“It’s perfect.” Water coats her eyes as she slides her fingers over a wooden cot before she pulls out a small teddy bear.
“There are two cameras installed,” Cade says and points his finger, “there and there. And if there is a sudden noise in the room, we’re alerted via an app and the doors and windows lock.”
“Not that anyone will ever be able to get into the house,” Dante adds.
“Absolutely. This is extra security only.”
“Come,” Dante says. “There’s more to see.”
Another door opens. There’s a studio with bookshelves on one wall and views of the ocean in the distance. It’s already kitted out with more books than she can read. A desk in the corner and a sofa with views of the sea.
Her mouth opens.
“Nothing to distract you from writing,” Dante says, a grin forming on his face. “Maybe you could write a thriller with your killing knowledge.”
“Haha.” She pats her tummy. “I doubt I’ll get the time for writing, but I’m going to read in here while my babies are asleep. It’s perfect.”
She’s definitely with us for good.
“Learn to dictate,” I add as her phone chimes in her pocket.
She checks the caller and says, “I’ll just get this. It’s Milly.”
“Hey. How are you?” Lia says.
Lia laughs. “Why on earth would you call me to ask that question? It’s not as though we’d be out having lunch and catching up.” She places her hand over the mouthpiece. “She’s looking for Helena.”
Lia nods. “No, I haven’t seen her since we came for dinner.” She walks to the window and glances over at the pool. “Yeah, I’ll let you know if she contacts me.”
She disconnects and says, “Where’s the bedroom?”
Cade’s eyes darken as he looks at me before he takes her hand and leads her toward the staircase, continuing across the landing. “Are you ready for all of us?”
As badly as I want this, I want to taste her before I fuck her. I have this overwhelming urge to worship her like I do Cade.
The door to the bedroom opens to the largest bed Dante could have custom made. It’ll be enough when we’re all together. Enough that she won’t complain about the heat of our bodies.
I stand behind her and pull her shirt off, throwing it behind me.
“Will you be okay?” she asks me as Cade unclasps her bra and holds her breasts in his hand, before lowering and licking and sucking at her hard nipples as she lets out a breathy moan.
“He’s a de Luca. He’ll be fine,” Dante says, tossing his own clothes onto a chair in the corner.
“Can I?” I say to Dante, knowing how much he feels Lia is his and not ours. “I want to taste her.”
He gives me the nod. Lia smiles as I move behind her, taking her hair in my hand, and moving it over her shoulder while my mouth peppers kisses on her neck, before moving my way down her body, kissing and nipping at her soft skin all the way to her panties.
She lifts her legs one at a time to unravel herself from her panties.
I drop onto my knees until I’m between her thighs and see her bare pussy, desperate to taste her sweetness.
I lean forward, swiping my tongue between her lips, along her slit and circling her clit.
Her hands grasp my hair, holding herself up as she pants.
“Does she taste as good as you remember?” Cade asks.
“Like heaven,” I groan, latching my mouth onto her clit, as I flatten my tongue and lap at it,
She moans. Her fingers clenching tighter in my hair as she grinds against my face.
I grip her ass cheeks in my hands; my fingertips feel the butt plug still in her ass.
Her back arches as she reaches out for Dante, who grabs her nape and turns her face to him, and kisses her.
Her body trembles. Her thighs squeeze around my head.
“Rafe...” She’s so close to coming on my tongue.
I glide my finger between her cheeks. “Are you ready for us?”
She moans as I assert the slightest amount of pressure on the plug. Her hips press against my face.
“Take her to the bed,” I say.
Cade and Dante pick her up, each man gently helping her onto the bed as I scoot beside her.
“I want to feel you come on my cock.” I swipe a finger through her wet folds to hear her moan.
“Please.” She scrambles on her knees and crawls over me, straddling my hips as I hold the base of my cock. Her heavy-lidded eyes stare into mine. “Are you sure?”
“I want you, Lia.”
“We all want you,” Cade adds. His dark eyes lock on mine as he gives me a nod.
“And I’m going to take your sweet ass, Lia.” Dante’s nostrils flare. “Can I?”
“Yes,” she moans as she lines her pussy up with my cock. “I want all of you to own me.”
And I drive up and into her. And groan as her back arches.
Dante crawls on the bed behind Lia. he places one hand on her upper back and leans her forward before kissing a line from her neck down her spine.
Her fingers dig into my shoulders as she trembles against me.
“We’re going to look after you, Lia,” Cade says, kissing her on her lips as Dante removes the plug from her ass.
Her eyes round as she gasps.
“Are you sure you want this?” Dante murmurs in her ear.
“I want all three of you.”
We know what she’s asking for.
“Good girl,” Cade says. His hand holds her cheek gently as he stares into her eyes.
Dante lines up behind her. Her mouth opens as presses his dick against her butt hole. He grimaces as he slowly pushes into her ass. Her pussy clenches around my cock and she stills.
“Relax,” I tell her.
“Try having a massive cock in your ass.”
I grin. “You’ve had Cade’s cock in your pussy. Imagine it in your ass.”
“I’m bigger than Cade,” Dante growls.
I laugh at Dante. “I’m glad to say that I don’t want to look at my brother’s dick to find out if that’s the truth or not.”
Lia laughs, and luckily, the conversation relaxes her enough for Dante to get past the outer ring.
He presses kisses against a panting Lia as he lets her get used to his size.
“You’re doing so well,” Cade adds. “Soon it’ll feel amazing and then you can have my dick.”
She gasps as Dante pulls out slightly and presses forward. I feel his cock pushing against mine as it gets deeper.
“Oh, fuck!” I never thought about my twin being in her ass at the same time as me being in her pussy. Never imagined how it would feel. I had it in my head that we were going inside her through different channels. That the wall between us wouldn’t make it intimate.
“Chill,” Cade says. Like he knows what’s going through my head.
Lia giggles, making me smile with her.
“What’s so funny?” Dante presses forward.
She groans.
Fire licks at my skin as her pussy clenches around me.
“Just something Milly told me about being the filling between two men, but I get a beautiful twin sandwich.” She pants. Her teeth biting her lip as she adjusts to Dante’s size. “I’m ready.”
Dante grabs her hips, slowly he fucks her into me. Over and over until her eyes are glazed and her mouth hangs open, ready for Cade to take it.
“More.” Her moans fill the air as she watches Cade undress.
“Do you want to taste me, Lia?” He kneels on the bed and shuffles closer, holding his cock for Lia to take.
Her body slides on my dick as Dante fucks her. Her mouth opens as Cade’s cock reaches her lips, and when she sucks on the crown, he groans, “Oh … yes.”
Cade wraps his fingers in Lia’s hair, taking control of her mouth as she slides on and off his cock. His face contorts like a man possessed.
Dante groans against Lia’s back. “Lia, are you close, baby?”
“Ye … I…” she mumbles around Cade’s cock as it disappears into her throat, gripping my shoulders to ground her.
The four of us find a rhythm.
Dante fucks her ass to slide her pussy over my dick. She pushes back for friction on her pussy and against Dante's throbbing dick.
Cade’s a happy fucker. His cock slides in and out of her mouth like she owns it. I suppose she does.
We know after today that this is no longer Cade and me. This is Cade, me and Lia. Times like this, it’ll also be Dante, too. And I’ll want time alone with Lia and, of course, with Cade. We’ll all want time with her. That’s what she does to us.
Made us think differently.
She was only supposed to be for an initiation. But she’s here forever for me. We all feel the same way.
Dante slams her deeper onto me.
I moan as the space inside her seems to tighten up. There’s no space to move.
“Oh, that’s it.” She pulls away from Cade as her pussy clenches around my cock and I can’t hold back any longer.
Cade strokes his cock, waiting. Her mouth swallows him down as her body shudders.
“That’s it, baby. Devour me.” Cade holds his balls as Lia bobs up and down his cock. “You’re such a good fucking girl.”
She mumbles around his length, and as her pussy squeezes around my dick, sending me soaring. But happy to know she likes to be praised.
Everything is sending her higher, but it’s like she's holding back.
Cade moans loudly as he comes deep in her throat. Her neck bobs as she swallows everything he gives her until his cock slips out of her mouth with an audible pop.
Dante fucks her ass while I reach between us, stroking my finger over her clit.
She screams as Dante grasps her hips, fucking her relentlessly.
I’m getting higher and know I can no longer hold back. And when Cade kisses me, before telling me I can come inside her, I call out her name as my cock pulses and I come deep inside her.
Dante holds her hips against his. His dick throbs inside her and he groans. I know he nor she can hold back any longer, and that sends aftershocks through me.
"Ohh." Lia moans, her pussy contracting around my dick before she drops her body against me, panting.
I don’t tell her she’s hurting my broken ribs. I can handle a little pain as I stroke her hair off her face and kiss her temple.
Minutes later, Dante pulls her off me, taking her sleeping body in his arms as he strolls to the bathroom.
I turn and smile at Cade as he snuggles into the bed next to me. “We’ll let them bathe together and then I’ll run you a bath.”
“Thank you,” I murmur. “I love you, Cade. Do you think she’ll love us one day?”
“I know she will.”
My eyes flutter open. It’s dark outside, only the moonlight brings light into the room.
I hear Lia’s phone chiming on the table, and I realize what woke me the first time.
“Leave it,” Dante groans. Holding her back against his chest. Her arm rests over my waist. Her finger touches Cade, who is asleep next to me.
“I can’t. It might be about Amara.”
I reach across Cade and grab her phone, handing it to her.
She swipes her cell and doesn’t get to say anything but listens to the caller.
Her face pales as she looks at me and says, “Helena's dead.”
