Emilia
P eter called me yesterday and asked if I would go to Scottland to go see Kayleigh after she was attacked by Erik’s bitch of an ex-wife. He would have gone but his family is on lockdown since someone tried to grab Bia and Erin while they were out shopping. Thankfully they weren’t kidnapped or hurt; neither of them need to go through any more shit.
I jumped at the opportunity to see Kayleigh; plus, I need to see if Erik is worthy enough to be with my Kayleigh-bug. I tried to go alone but no, the asshole I’m married to insisted on coming with me, saying he has to make sure I behave . Blah! That shit is boring.
“We don’t have an alliance with them, so don’t go causing trouble.”
“There will be no trouble,” I state as we pull up to the gate of the Duncan mansion. Mateo looks over at me and raises his eyebrow.
“Emilia, trouble always seems to find you.”
“It knows I’m good company.”
“Keep a lid on your diabolical craziness for once.”
“That will depend on whether I think Erik needs it or not. If he doesn’t, I will save it for his ex-wife.”
“If he allows you.”
“Okay,” I say, and he gives me a look like he is begging me to behave.
I knock on the door, and we are ushered inside.
“Mr. Duncan will be with you momentarily.”
“No bother, I will find Kayleigh on my own,” I state, walking past them.
“Kayleigh-bug. Where are you?” I yell.
“Ma’am? Mrs. De Luca. Mr. Duncan doesn’t want Miss O’Sullivan disturbed.”
“Yeah, well I need to see if she is okay with my own eyes, and I’d like to see anyone get in my way,” I say, pulling out my zapping knife and hitting the button. I watch as the butler takes a step back when he hears the electric zapping against the knife.
“Who the hell? Oh fuck?” I hear from behind me. “Ugh why?” Erik Duncan says as I turn around and face him.
“Well hello to you too, Mr. Duncan. Such a warm welcome.”
“What do you expect when you show up to my home unannounced and threaten my staff?”
“When Kayleigh has been attacked, you should expect me to show up. She is my unofficial adopted younger sister, and I’m very scary.”
“I’ve heard rumors.”
I smirk. “Good. Then don’t piss me off and we won’t have any problems.”
He takes a step toward me, and Mateo moves me behind me saying, “Erik, you might be the boss here, but do not threaten my wife.”
“I will keep my fiancée and baby safe from any threat.”
“Oh, darling, I’m only a threat to you if you don’t keep them safe. Now, as much as I love this cock-measuring competition, which we know mine is bigger, I need to see Kayleigh.”
“You’re not going to go away, are you?”
“Nope. Now are you going to show me the way or do I need to open every door until I find her?”
He stares at me, and I glare back. “Fine.” He turns on his heel and we follow him up the stairs and down a hallway before he knocks on a door.
“Seamrag bhea, Emilia and Mateo De Luca are here to see you. I can send them away.”
“No, send them in,” I hear her soft voice answer.
I push past him and kick off my boots before climbing into the bed next to her, wrapping my arms around her.
“How are you?”
“Okay, scared.”
“That’s okay. No worries, I will deal with that bitch. I brought something special just for her.”
“I’m afraid to ask,” Erik says.
“Don’t worry. I can never use it on you; it’s made just for women.” I smile and chuckle when I see Mateo’s eyes go wide.
“You brought that with you?”
“Well of course. She is an evil cunt and needs to be punished for trying to kill my niece or nephew.”
“Niece or nephew?” Erik questions.
Mateo informs him, “Emilia has unofficially been adopted into the O’Sullivan family and, as such, she declared herself aunt of all the O’Sullivan children.”
“Okay...” he says, clearly not sure how to take me.
“Now, I need to ask you Kayleigh-bug. Do you want to stay, or do you want to come stay with us until it is safe for you to return home? You can stay with us as long as you want.”
“You won’t be able to walk out these doors alive if you try to take her from me,” Erik snarls walking up to me. Mateo grabs him and pushes him back.
“Erik, stop,” Kayleigh says in a stern tone.
“You won’t need to kill anyone. I’m not going anywhere. But thank you, Emilia.”
I smile. “Good, he seems protective enough to keep you safe and cares enough.”
“Please don’t encourage the Viking bullshit. He was bad before and I know it is only going to get worse now.” She groans and I chuckle knowing exactly how these Mafia men are.
“It’s a downside of being with a dark, twisted man who loves you more with every beat of their heart,” I say looking at Mateo.
“I don’t see a downside to loving you so fiercely no one will ever mess with my regina.”I roll my eyes but look back to Erik with a smirk.
“Why do I feel like I should run?” he asks.
“With that look, I would suggest Australia,” Kayleigh says. I pretend to be offended and put my hand on my heart.
“I’m offended; you are supposed to be on my side.”
“If I’m on your side, who knows what you will get us involved in.”
“True, but I can guarantee we will be having fun.”
“I’ve heard about your kind of fun: the sex toy party. I wasn’t even there and I’m mentally scarred.”
“We will have to do another but have Julietta, Bia, Erin, and of course you will be there,” I say, rubbing my hands together.
“Do you think sweet, innocent Bia would be able to handle a party like that and with you?”
“She can’t be that innocent if she is married to your brother.”
“Gahh. Emilia, can you not talk about my brother’s sex life? That is one thing I could live without ever thinking about.”
“What, you don’t think your brother is kinky?”
“Mateo, please gag her.” She folds her hands together, giving him puppy dog eyes.
“Don’t pretend to be innocent, little miss Irish. I have heard you both on the phone.” Mateo smirks when Kayleigh’s face pales.
“Seamrag bhea, what have you been talking about?” Erik asks.
“Nothing, absolutely nothing,” she quickly responds, and Mateo starts to chuckle.
“You have nothing to worry about, Erik. You are being complimented.”
“Am I?” He seems very amused by Mateo’s answer.
“You have big dick energy, but do you have the equipment and moves to back it up?” Emilia asks with a smirk on her lips.
“Emilia De Luca, do you want to be punished again?”
“What? I didn’t do anything.”
“I thought you learned after your punishment from Vincenzo and Gabriella’s wedding. You don’t ask about another man’s cock. My cock is the only cock you need to be worried about.”
I wave him off. “I’m not asking for myself. I need to make sure she is being satisfied. She can’t marry him if she is left unsatisfied in the bedroom.”
“I make it my goal to ensure she is completely satisfied,” Erik says with a predatory stare at Kayleigh.
Well, hot damn. The way she is shifting next to me in the bed and the way his eyes are holding hers, I have a feeling if they were alone, things would be getting hot.
“I can see that. Erik, where is your ex-wife?”
His mood does a one-eighty and his anger is suffocating the room.
“She is being held by my people with her little fuck toy until I’m ready to deal with them.”
“Want some help dealing with her?”
“Yes. I’m curious if the rumors about how diabolical you are true.”
“Anything the rumors say are sweet dreams compared to the nightmare she is when she is hungry for vengeance,” Mateo says, walking over to me and helping me to my feet.
“Damn. Let me call my brothers’ wives to come sit with Kayleigh.”
“Absolutely not,” she says.
“You are on bedrest,” he tells her.
“Do you not have a chair I can sit in while you torture them?” she asks, and I bite my lip seeing her inner sassy brat coming out. I feel like a proud mama.
“Yes, but you need to be stress free.”
“You think me watching you kill the bitch who tried to kill our baby wouldn’t make me stress free?”
“I don’t want you seeing that side of me.”
“You think I don’t know you have blood on your hands? You’re the boss of the Scottish Mafia, for fuck’s sake. You didn’t get to where you are just by looking sexy,” she says, rolling her eyes. He glares at her, but she continues. “I promise I will be a good girl and keep my ass in the chair the whole time. Plus, think how angry she will be when she sees she didn’t succeed in killing our baby,” she says with a huge grin on her face, and I watch as he crumbles and gives in.
“You will sit in my chair, and you will not move,” he says, pointing to her. She nods.
“We will meet you both downstairs in a few minutes,” he tells us. Mateo grabs my hand, and we walk out of the room. I head to our bags so I can grab my duffle bag of toys.
