Chapter 30
Chapter Thirty
“Rosie, it’s going to be okay.” I hug my sister close to me.
“No, it’s not. Aurelio is going to kill him and it’s all my fault. Because I had a stupid crush on someone who didn’t like me back,” she cries.
“It’s not your fault and Aurelio is not going to kill someone just because you were crushing on them, Rosie.”
“Yeah, then where is he? I’ve looked. He’s not anywhere in this house. The only room I haven’t been able to get into is the basement. There are guards who won’t let me in. Which tells me Aurelio has Kevin down there.”
“Okay, tell me how this all even started? Were you involved with him, Rosie?”
“I wanted to be, but he wouldn’t touch me. Told me I wasn’t worth losing his life over. I threatened to tell Dad that he touched me anyway, so he should just do what I wanted. Because either way, he’d be dead,” she says.
“You what?”
“I’m not proud of it, and it didn’t work. He still didn’t touch me. Told me I was a child, and I wasn’t his type.” Rosie pulls away from me. “What kind of person am I, Dani? Who threatens a man to try to have sex with them?”
“You’re a good person, Rosie. One shitty decision does not make you a bad person. You are a De Bellis. Threatening bodily harm to get what we want comes with the name.”
“I really thought he liked me, you know. I just thought he was too scared to do anything about it.”
“Anyone would be a fool not to like you. You are a catch, Rosie De Bellis. Don’t you ever forget that.” I hate seeing my sister like this. “Now, tell me more about how you won all that money in Vegas and how you actually got away with it?”
“I didn’t cheat. I didn’t need to. It was easy. Those old men underestimated me. They always do.” She smirks. “And I donated all of my winnings to a women’s shelter.”
“You did? That was… nice.”
“I can do good things sometimes,” she says.
“I know you can. You’re the best sister I’ve ever had, Rosie.”
“I’m the only sister you’ve ever had.” She rolls her eyes at me. But at least she’s not crying anymore.
“You want me to go to the basement and see if this dude is down there?” I ask her.
“He shouldn’t be punished because of my bad choices,” she says.
“Okay, I’ll see what I can do. Besides, I’ve got a hunky husband to use to muscle my way through shit now.” I wag my eyebrows up and down.
“I still don’t understand how Dad is just okay with you being married.”
“He likes CJ.” I shrug.
“Dad doesn’t like anyone who doesn’t bear the De Bellis name.” Rosie laughs.
“Well, he likes that CJ loves me, maybe. I don’t know, but I’m not questioning it.”
Rosie’s phone rings out with a shrill tone. She picks it up. “It’s Willow,” she explains before answering. “Hey.”
Willow is our cousin, our Uncle Gabriel and Aunt Daisy’s youngest child. They also have Luciano, who is a little older than Aurelio, and Christian, who is the same age as me.
“You’re coming here, all of you?” Rosie repeats.
I don’t hear what Willow says, but when Rosie puts the phone down, she seems a little happier.
“Family reunion time, sissy. They’re all coming here, which means something bad has happened or is about to happen—wait!
You don’t think it has to do with the creep who’s after you, do you? ”
“Probably not. He’s not even in the country,” I assure her. I’m not a hundred percent sure where the creeper is, but I know we’re safe in this house. “Okay, well, if they’re all coming, we should go and warn the others.”
Don’t get me wrong… I love my family. They’re just loud and there are a lot of them.
I have four uncles and aunts. There is my Uncle Santo and Aunt Aria.
They have two kids, Roman and Kirra. Although I guess none of us are really kids anymore.
Then there is my Uncle Marcel and Aunt Zoe.
They don’t have any children. And my Uncle Vin and Aunt Cammi are the parents of Ares and his sister Cara.
And if they’re all coming here, this house is about to become really full. And really loud.
“Okay, this will be fun. Or entertaining, at least. All the cousins here. What could go wrong?” Rosie laughs.
“A lot.” I sigh.
Opening Rosie’s bedroom door, I find CJ leaning against the wall right outside.
“Hey, so all my family is about to arrive. As in, everyone: all the uncles, aunts, and cousins,” I tell him.
“I know.”
“How do you know?”
“Your father called me.”
“Since when did you become best mates with my dad?” I ask him.
“Since he gave me his blessing to marry you.” CJ smiles. “I’d much rather be on his good side than bad.”
“I would have married you anyway, you know,” I tell him.
“I know.”
“Okay, well, while you lovesick fools get all mushy, I’m going down to find Aurelio.” Rosie walks past us.
“How much time do you think we have before your family turns up?” CJ asks.
“I don’t know, why?”
“Guess we’ll find out.” He tugs on my arm and pulls me back into my bedroom before reaching for the button on my shorts. “I need to be inside you, now.”
“Okay.” That is an idea I can get onboard with. I help him pull my shorts and panties down my legs. Then my fingers find his belt buckle, undoing it as I step out of my shorts. “But you’re going to have to be quick.”
“I’m not finishing until I feel your pussy clamping around my cock, Dani. You want me to be quick, you best be coming fast and hard,” he tells me.
“Well, you best be making me come fast and hard then,” I fire back as I jump and wrap my legs around his waist.
“Are you ready for me?” He lines the tip of his cock up with my entrance.
“Always.”
Then he’s sliding into me, filling me completely. Every time he enters me, it takes my breath away.
“I love how you feel when you enter me,” I tell him.
“I love you.” CJ’s lips press against mine.
His hips thrust, his cock moving in and out of me while his tongue explores every inch of my mouth. My arms cling around his shoulders and my legs tighten around his waist as I meet each of his thrusts, grinding my core against him, getting the friction I so desperately need.
“I’m never going to get tired of fucking you.”
“Good, because I’m never going to get tired of being fucked by you. Oh shit!” I moan when he hits a spot deep inside me.
Twisting his hips, he does it again and again until the walls of my core are tightening.
CJ’s mouth covers mine, swallowing my scream as I come around him.
Pleasure explodes through my entire body.
It feels as if every single nerve ending is alight with sensations that only CJ has ever been able to draw out of me.
CJ stills. He thrusts into me once, twice, and then a third time before he stills again, his cum spurting inside me.
“I really can’t wait to start our honeymoon,” I tell CJ.
“Me too,” he says. “I’m tired of sharing your attention with everyone. I want you all to myself.”
“Mmm, I want that too. But right now, we need to get cleaned up because my uncles are not going to be your new bestie like my dad is,” I warn him.
“I’m not scared of your uncles, Daniella,” CJ says. “I am, however, terrified of your sister.”
“Rosie? What has she done?”
“It’s always the quiet little ones you gotta watch,” he says as he walks with me in his arms into the bathroom. Setting me down on my feet, CJ reaches in and turns on the shower. “You know I never thought I’d be fucking you in your childhood bedroom.”
“I never thought you would be alive after doing such a thing.” I laugh. “But here we are, living in some kind of Twilight Zone where I actually get my happily ever after.”
“This is reality, Dani, not some other zone. We are living out our happily ever after. And we’re going to be just fine. You’ll see.”
“I want you to know that this past week, being your wife, it’s been a dream, CJ. I know I caused us both so much pain, but I really do love you.”
“I love you too.”
“Wait! I’m not finished,” I tell him. “I want you to know that if anything happens to me, it’s not your fault, CJ.
If for some reason this guy does get his hands on me and I’m not with you anymore, I want you to find someone else.
I want you to have a second happily ever after and I want you to get those cats you want. ”
“Daniella, there is no happily ever after for me if you’re not in my story.
The only reason I’m going to live a very long, happy, content life is because you’re going to be living it right alongside me.
” CJ wraps his arms around me, pressing his lips to the center of my forehead.
“I am not going to let anything happen to you.”
