26
~Caterina~
I stepped out into the backyard, pulling my leather jacket closed, expecting it to be freezing, only to be pleasantly surprised when welcoming heat enveloped me.
Aside from the tour that Julian had given me when I’d first moved in here, I realized I hadn’t actually been outside to the backyard, or even merely the patio once since I’d been here. I’d been so focused on other things. Finding Julian, our mission, operating Camlann Corporation remotely, that I hadn’t really entertained time for anything else. Aside from bonding with the guys.
Splashing caught my attention, and I looked out toward the pool. It was a color-changing rectangular swimming pool that even had a Jacuzzi at one end and a little waterfall on the other, the whole thing surrounded by beautiful gray brick.
I took in Julian swimming back and forth in the currently purple colored water.
As soon as I started to approach, he noticed and swam to the closest end to me, folding his arms on the edge and smiling out at me. “Come on in, darlin’.”
I peered down into the pool and grinned. “You’re naked.”
“I didn’t want you to feel awkward about being without a bathing suit.”
I chuckled. “Sure that’s the reason.”
“Come on,” he said, reaching out and stroking my calf. “Strip and show me that stunning body of yours. It’s been too long.”
I shrugged off my jacket and tossed it on a deck chair behind me.
“That’s it.” He winked. “I wouldn’t say no to a little show.”
“Shut the hell up,” I said, laughing and pulling off my Vivier pumps. Not trusting him to keep the splashing down, I walked right over to the chair where I’d tossed my jacket and nestled them on it carefully.
He whistled. “Damn, if only that skirt was a little shorter.”
I spun back to him to find his eyes lit with humor.
He was just egging me on, trying to bring the fun.
Trying to loosen me up.
“You’re good, I’ll give you that.”
“Well, I’ve gotten to know you, Cat. I see you struggling to let go and just be in the moment. Not surprising, considering everything.”
I smiled and unzipped my embellished gold and black bustier top, sliding it away and baring my breasts.
His eyes hooded at the sight.
The intensity ramped up there as I shimmied out of my skirt.
As I reached for my panties, he rose up out of the water and hooked his fingers in the sides, then drew them down slowly, his hot gaze holding mine captive.
I’d only just kicked them off when he grasped my thighs and dragged his tongue through my folds.
A squeal escaped me and he chuckled, then snagged me around the hips and hauled me into the pool, water splashing all around us.
“You’re a menace,” I choked, brushing my hair and water out of my face.
“Compliment taken, darlin’,” he said, grasping my arms and floating us back against the edge of the pool.
All humor evaporated as he breathed me in, then slid his hand over my belly, stroking softly, reverently. “I saw you. You were going to tell them tonight.”
“I was. I’m sorry, but with Milo finding out that his parents—”
“It’s okay. I get it.” He looked me over studiously, the sexual edge gone for the moment as he asked, full of concern, “How are you feeling? I haven’t heard you throwing up or anything.”
“No. Just ravenous now.”
Off his look, I added, “For food.”
He gave me a withering stare. “Really, huh? Just for food?”
Shit. “No. Honestly, not just for food.”
“I know. It’s one of the reasons I insisted on this tonight.”
“You… how?”
“I’ve been keeping an eye on you.” He leaned in and kissed my cheek in such a tender way that it sent a radiating warmth through me. He murmured happily as I turned my head and nuzzled against him. “You’re carrying our baby, that’s everything, and I’m here for whatever you need.”
“That means a lot,” I breathed, and looped my arms around his neck, holding him to me.
“You can do this. There’s no doubt in my mind.”
“Thank you.”
“I want you to know that Nico and Milo will be the same. They’ll be the most supportive you can imagine. They’ll be overjoyed, Cat. This absolutely won’t be a bad thing to them, so if that’s also a concern you’ve been feeling, I can promise you that it’s unfounded.”
“I love how you are, how you can make even the worst things seem that much lighter, you know that?”
“It might have become apparent to me,” he said, smiling down at me. He stroked my hair with one hand. “ I love how you’ve been with me, supporting me after what happened and actually helping to bring me back in on everything when it was being kept from me.”
“Well, I know what it’s like to be forced onto the sidelines. I mean, in this case, it was coming from a good place, but I understand that feeling all too well, the helplessness, the nastiness of being cast aside and discounted. I didn’t want that for you.”
“Even though I really didn’t help matters earlier when I tried to go after that asshole on my own, huh?”
“I understand why you did it. We all do.”
He winced. “But it was reckless as shit.”
“Yeah,” I said, nodding. “It was. But we’ll find another way. Like you keep telling me, yes? We can always find a way through.”
“But it needs to be together.”
“Yeah, it does.”
He stared at me in awe.
“What?” I asked, with amusement.
“Just that you were so worried at first about not being able to work as a team and now look at you. Also, the fact that you’d never really been in a relationship and you jumped right into this with three of us, and you’re doing so well with it… it’s impressive.”
“You’re giving me too much credit. I’m just finding my way through as I go.”
“Nah, it’s more than that. You’ve changed everything for us.” He stroked my belly again. “And there’s about to be even more of that with this little baby. Things were straining between the three of us before you came along and now? Now they’re more solid than they’ve ever been. Yes, even with the argument that you witnessed tonight.” He smiled. “You were that special element that we’d been missing all along. And now you’re here, I can’t imagine it being any other way. I love you being here with us. I love our foursome dynamic. And I love you.”
He certainly had a way with beautiful words and declarations. More than that with him was his endearing sincerity. Behind the image he put on to the world, he was such a loving and caring sweetheart of a man. It had become clear as I’d gotten to know him, that beneath all the rest, all that he wanted was to feel loved and safe. And he really put his heart out on his sleeve where that was concerned. It was so amazing and courageous that what had happened to him recently, and even years ago with his father, hadn’t managed to take that away from him. He fought so hard for it too, to be this incredible person before me.
“I love you too,” I confessed, right there with him. I brushed my lips over his. “How you’ve been with me, especially since I told you about the pregnancy… I’ll never forget it… thank you.”
“You’re mine, you’re ours. It could never be any other way.”
“Shit, you and your beautiful words,” I uttered a moment before I tugged him down to me and crushed my lips to his.
It wasn’t overwhelming or insanely animalistic as I was used to it being with the guys, something both Nico and I brought to the table a hell of a lot whenever the four of us came together. No, this time it was different, maybe because I had that part of me locked down, or maybe because of the intimacy of the moment between us, but it was easy and enveloping, and intensely sensual.
It had me sinking against the side of the pool, grasping his hip and pulling him tighter to me, while running my fingers all over his upper body, his collarbone, his shoulders, his nipple hoops, and down over his deliciously hard and toned abs, the heat from his skin burning into mine.
He groaned into my mouth, his tongue curling around mine, tasting me, savoring me, just like I was doing with him.
He shifted his weight and I let out a needy sound as I felt his hard dick against my thigh.
“Getting started without us?” Milo’s voice came, cutting through the moment.
We broke from the kiss and I turned my head to see Milo standing there completely naked, all that ink and that mammoth muscular form of his on display in all its glory. He was stroking his already hard cock as he looked at us through hooded eyes.
“You took too long,” Julian told him, his gaze running all over him, even as he started to rub his cock against my thigh more determinedly, trying to draw my attention back to the moment, not wanting to let it slip away. “Get in here,” he told Milo, his strained voice betraying his escalating need. “Fucking now.”
“Mmm, I love it when you get like this,” Milo rumbled, slipping into the pool and wading toward us.
He was just a little way out when Nico’s voice thundered through the house, jolting all of us.
“Are you fucking kidding me? ‘FU Santino’? And Marco too? Julian!”
I winced at Julian. “He’s seen your IG post.”
“What post?” Milo asked.
“I thought he was with you in your room?” Julian asked. “He’d left his phone in the kitchen.”
“He went to get us some towels. I guess he stopped off in the kitchen to check his messages. With the strikes taking place tomorrow, he’s on edge about everything being in place.” He eyed Julian worriedly. “So, what was the post?”
“Who fucking cares?” he said, palming my breasts and smirking devilishly at me, before leaning in to suck at my nipples.
“ I care,” Nico’s voice sounded a second before Julian’s head was jerked back.
I swung my head to see Nico crouched on the outside of the pool, fisting his hand in Julian’s blond hair.
Shit. He’d completely blindsided me. I’d been caught up in our conversation then what Julian had been doing to me.
I looked to see he’d brought some of his fancy black bath towels out and dropped them on the table.
I drank in the sight of him completely naked and his cock raging hard as he crouched there grasping Julian’s hair and basically snarling at him.
“Ouch,” Julian said, grinning up at him. “Someone’s on edge.”
“It’s your fucking post. On top of what you already fucking did.”
“Nah, it’s because you’re desperate for a good fuck.”
With a grunt, Nico released his hair. “You disrespected and challenged Santino and my father in one fucking shot with that post. And the photo—motherfucker, J!”
“You told me to get the word out about the marriage, and I did.”
“Not like that.”
“Please, drama and shading spreads faster than anything else. People love that shit.”
“You made yourself a target.”
“I’m already a target due to my association with you. And the fact that I’ve now untangled my business from the Marchetti Syndicate.”
“This is different.”
“Cat said the same thing.”
“Because she gets it. The complexities of our world and—”
“It’s done, Nico,” Milo said.
“Pull the post,” Nico demanded of Julian.
I cut in, “Even if he does pull it, with his number of followers, it would have spread by now. It’s too late.”
“It was too late the moment I posted it.”
Nico scrubbed his hand over his face. “J, you’re killing me.”
“And you’re killing the mood.”
He gestured at me.
And then Nico’s eyes were all over me, his gaze heating at the sight of my naked breasts, then dipping below the water, drinking in every inch of me. It had me shifting restlessly, my whole body heating.
He looked away, then grunted at Julian, before slipping into the pool right beside him. “I swear to fuck, this isn’t over and—”
Julian grasped his cock, stilling him from the surprise of it. “I know, N. But for now, let’s just be together. All hell’s gonna break loose in a whole other way tomorrow night. So we need this time right now.”
I expected Nico to bat Julian’s hand away.
But, instead, he sank against the side of the pool and murmured, “All right.”
“There,” Julian spoke in a soothing tone, flicking his thumb over Nico’s crown and drawing a long groan from him. “Just let it all go.”
He gathered the pre-cum with his free hand that was already leaking from Nico, showing just how much he needed this, and then he reached out and spread it over my lips. I opened and slicked my tongue over it, tasting it while Nico’s smoldering gaze held mine.
“More,” Milo rumbled, coming up behind me and stroking my hair while he grabbed my hip, then jerked me back right against his cock as he started sliding it up and down the crack of my ass.
“Yes,” I breathed.
As I pushed back against him, he released my hip, then brought his fingers around and started dragging them through my pussy. I spread my legs almost involuntarily, wanting more, needing more so badly.
“Mmm,” Milo groaned as he felt my slickness. “So ready for us to devour you, beauty.”
That groan deepened when he watched Julian give more , like he’d asked, as he released Nico and waded behind Milo, then slicked his tongue all over his muscular back, treating him to erotic licks as he reached over and stroked my hair, while dipping his hand to Milo’s ass and fingering the crack of his ass, teasing up and down and making Milo grind his cock harder against me. “Yeah, Sunshine,” he implored.
Nico was suddenly there in front of me.
He pulled me from Milo and spun me around, binding his arm across my chest and holding me to him as he told Milo. “Take her cunt.”
I threw my head back against his shoulder as I watched Nico spread me open with his fingers, inviting Milo in.
“Damn, yes, that’s it,” Milo murmured to himself, his eyes glazed with need.
Nico tapped directly on my clit as he held me open, exposed and vulnerable, the added element of the water sending another slew of sensations through me. He picked up his pace, tapping rapidly with one finger over and over until he drove me right to the edge and had me writhing in his hold and panting.
I was moments away from tasting bliss when he pulled his hand away and released me.
At my whimper he told me, “Not yet. Let Milo feel your sweet cunt squeezing the fuck out of him when you come all over him.”
A growl escaped Milo, and then he was hauling me up.
I instinctively wrapped my thighs around him just a second before he thrust deep inside me, making me cry out into the night, the sound echoing all around us.
I fisted my hands in his hair and jerked him to me, thrusting my tongue into his mouth as he powered up inside me with sexy grunts. I lost myself to it, to savoring him and the feel of him stretching me open and driving so deep, hitting so many nerve endings that had my thighs fucking shaking from the intensity.
All of that was ramped up as I felt pressure at my asshole.
“Ready?” I heard Nico asking Julian.
“Christ, yes.”
A moment later, Milo and I broke our kiss as Nico eased into my ass at the same time as Julian eased into Milo’s.
It wasn’t rough and power-fucking right off the bat.
No, this time it was slow and easy, and so fucking erotic as they both rocked back and forth, easing out, that pushing in deeper, making us feel every delectable moment of their dicks sinking into us.
“Ungh,” Milo grunted, his eyes rolling back in his head as he ground his hips back and forth, his cock driving deeper into me. He reached back and slapped his free hand to Julian’s hip, holding him to him and grinding with his thrusts and Nico’s at the same time.
“Feel Nico grazing your cock too?” Julian teased him.
“Damn… yeah,” Milo breathed.
Nico stroked my hair and slicked his talented tongue over my throat. “Such a sweet ass. Our filthy little princess loves having her ass filled. Don’t you, baby?”
“Yes,” I gasped.
“She loves being filled by us all fucking over,” Julian said. He reached around Milo as he continued rocking and teased my clit with light, stimulating brushes of his fingers. “Loves being played with and worshipped by us all.”
I dropped my head back against Nico’s shoulder as pleasure permeated every part of me, sinking into the three of them and the heady eroticism of it all. “God,” I breathed.
Nico took to playing with my pussy as Julian started teasing Milo’s balls. It had him picking up his pace and growling as he drove into me harder and faster.
At the same time, Nico and Julian stabbed deeper, becoming merciless and the whole thing overwhelming me to the point of no return as I screamed and exploded all over Milo.
“Ungh… fuck, Caterina. The way you grip me. Ah, Julian… goddammit ,” Milo cried, beside himself as the torment became too much for him too and I felt his hot cum spill deep inside me.
As it set me off again and I came all over Milo’s cock, he pulled out and grabbed my hips and used his impressive strength to shove me up and down Nico’s cock rapid-fire.
“Fuck me,” Nico snarled, as Milo basically fucked his cock with my own ass.
He raked his nails all over my breasts, losing his shit, before he jerked and came all over my back.
“Jesus,” Julian exclaimed, and then he abruptly pulled out, shoved Milo around, and came all over his face. “Yes… fucking yes!” he shouted, fisting Milo’s hair and holding him to him for a long, intense moment.
He kissed him and licked the cum off his face, before swimming to me, and licking Nico’s off my back too.
And then he wrapped me up in his arms, a moment before Nico and Milo were there too, the four of us all over one another, reveling in it. In each other.
Together.
In moments like this, it truly felt like the rest of the world didn’t exist.
That it couldn’t touch us.
But, unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking.
Moments like this were all we currently had.
And they were everything.
