Chapter Twenty-Nine
Tuesday passed with no word from Aurelio, and Mia was beginning to worry. Melvin asked her once about it, and she found a way to brush it off. She also reached out to Mac, but there was no word from him either. Oliver had also been noticeably absent, with no boots pounding down the hall or any accidental encounters.
On Tuesday night, Mia’s brothers decided to head to the movies, eager to get out of the loft. Mia wasn’t feeling it and chose to stay home. She was curled on the couch, watching some show about teens becoming parents when her phone rang. She jumped, grabbing and answering it without looking at who it was.
“Hello?”
“Mia, Detective Daniels,” greeted a soothing voice. “I was calling to give you an update on the break-in.”
“Oh, yeah.” Mia scrambled to turn the volume down on the TV, sitting up on the couch.
“Yes. So, the officers who swept the scene pulled some prints. We were able to get a couple matches, and I need to sit down with you to figure out who would be in and out of your apartment so we can rule them out.”
Mia nodded to herself. “Sure; when is a good time?”
“Could you come down to the station tomorrow, say, nine?”
“Yeah. I can do that,” Mia answered, relieved and nervous. “Thanks.”
“Of course; have a great night. Tell your brothers I said hello.”
Mia froze. “Will do.” Her voice felt clogged. “See you tomorrow.” She hung up quickly.
How did he know about her brothers? Mia fell back onto the couch, her mind racing. Had Oliver told him her brothers were in town? As she sat there, she heard a tapping. Looking toward the window, she saw a hand she knew well. Jumping up, she threw the window open.
“Aurelio!” she yelled, pulling him to her by his collar. He met her waiting lips, crashing into her. He led them towards the couch, and Mia leaped into his arms. He wrapped around her while his tongue explored her mouth. She felt the stems of flowers against her ass. They fell onto the couch, the flowers crushed beneath them.
Aurelio pulled back, smiling. “Shit.” He lifted Mia’s butt to pull out the flowers, placing them on the coffee table. Mia’s arms were open, waiting for him to come back to her.
“Hello, beautiful,” he whispered, his mouth grazing hers. “God, I missed you.” She smiled against his lips, pulling him onto the couch with her and pulling his shirt over his head as she went. His mouth moved to her neck, teeth grazing her skin. She felt the rumbling groan in his chest before she heard it.
“Oh,” she moaned as he pulled her shirt off and dropped it on the floor with his in a flash, teeth and tongue finding her nipple. Aurelio let his mouth explore her skin, kissing and biting as he moved. She squirmed under him, her body begging for his touch. She moaned again as he progressed across her flesh. Aurelio’s hands found her sensitive spot, pushing her underwear to the side and sliding two fingers into her pussy; her wetness covered his palm. He released another deep rumbling groan, his arousal pressing against her, waiting and wanting.
Aurelio lowered himself further down, letting his lips press against her thighs; his tongue trailed upwards as his fingers moved slowly in and out. He pulled his fingers from her vagina, licking them. Mia watched his eyes go dark as he turned his focus to her pussy. Moving swiftly, he buried his face between her thighs, kissing and licking her, sucking her clit and twirling his tongue against it. Mia lost herself to the pleasure. Aurelio let his fingers slide back in, moving faster as his tongue swirled over her clit. Mia was close; she could feel the wave ready to take her. She could let go, scream for him, and cum. But that’s not what she wanted; she put a hand on his arm, pushing herself away from him slightly. Aurelio glanced up, looking like a lion whose food was taken away. She pulled at him, urging him up to her face.
“I want to cum with you.”
Aurelio groaned; the rumbling growl in his chest made her wetter. “Oh fuck,” he said, sliding his pants down; his cock sprung free. He kissed Mia again, her tongue moved to meet his; her need matched his need. He moved above her, parting her legs and pushing his cock deep inside, letting out a growl. “Fuck, Mia.” He thrust slowly.
She placed her hands on his chest, feeling the hard muscle there, letting him push her to the edge again, riding the wave with him. Aurelio abruptly leaned down, lifted Mia, and switched their positions so he was sitting on the couch with her riding his cock cowgirl style. His mouth found her nipple, and she moaned as she moved up and down on him, his cock driving her closer and closer to the edge.
“Fuck, Aurelio.”
He looked up at her, moving one hand from her hip to hold her chin. She knew the order he was going to give before he said it. She could feel both of them were close; orgasm was one word away. As the word rolled off his tongue, his cock gave one final pulse. Mia opened her own mouth and…
“Scream.”
Mia settled on Aurelio’s chest. Both were dressed partially and covered in a blanket. His arms were wrapped around her as she rested her cheek over his heartbeat. His deep breathing calmed her; the fact that he was there, unharmed, made her heart soar.
“So,” she said, breaking the silence. “Are you out, then?”
Aurelio stirred lightly under her. “Almost, beautiful. We have to have one more meeting, get the money squared away, get the guys paid, and then yeah.” He laughed lightly, tracing the almost finished ring tattooed on his arm. “I’m out. Free.” Mia traced the band, her finger fitting into the open space. She smiled wide, her eyes meeting his.
“I like the sound of that. Free.” Mia tasted the word, feeling free herself. “I haven’t had a chance to tell you.” She sat up to meet his eyes. “My brothers paid off the loan shark.” She smiled at him, and Aurelio gave her a confused look for a moment. “I’m free, too.”
“That’s amazing, beautiful.” He kissed her, quick and deep. He pulled back, eyes scanning hers. “But what does that mean?”
“Well…” She shrugged. “…it means I could go home if I want.”
“And do you want to?” Aurelio asked, his face unreadable.
“I don’t know,” Mia admitted, and the truth was that she really didn’t know. “I have been here for so long, and this loft has been home.” She looked around at the space. “But I don’t feel safe here anymore, not alone. I need a change; I need to figure out where to go from here.”
“And us?” Aurelio inquired, the worry in his voice broke Mia’s heart.
“Us?” She grabbed his hands in hers and leaned close, her lips a breath from his.
“We are forever.” She kissed him, sinking into his lips. Aurelio kissed her back hard; the answer he was afraid he wouldn’t find clear on her lips. He moved his hands to her waist, and Mia moved to straddle him again. She lifted her shirt over her head, breasts bouncing free so Aurelio could turn his attention to her nipples.
“Oh fuck,” Mia moaned as he sucked and nibbled her. Her hands fell to his boxers, pulling his half-hard cock out to stroke it and feel it harden in her grasp.
“Mia,” he breathed against her skin, causing goosebumps to form across her body.
Aurelio pulled her face to his, kissing her as she slid onto his cock. Together, they moaned as she gently rode him, his cock sliding in and out, her pussy tightening around his shaft. Mia leaned back, and Aurelio held her hips, helping her go faster. She opened her mouth, the scream on the tip of her tongue, as the front door slid open, and the hallway light cascaded across her body.
“Shit!” she screamed, throwing herself onto Aurelio and grabbing a blanket to pull over them.
Melvin, Mikey, and Matty stumbled in; they had enjoyed a few beers too many at the movies apparently. Mia placed a finger on Aurelio’s lips, easing herself off his still-hard cock and pulling her panties back in place. Aurelio nodded, a glint of mischief in his eyes.
“Mia?” Melvin called, and she flinched. The boys stumbled around, and then the light flicked on above them. Mia threw her shirt on as Aurelio stuffed his erection back into his boxers and reached for his pants.
“Here,” Mia called. All three brothers turned to look at her, smiling. Then their eyes shifted to Aurelio, who gave a small wave. Three pairs of dark brown eyes narrowed, the drunkenness on their faces vanishing. Melvin stepped forward, and Mia jumped up, putting herself between them.
“Guys,” she said calmly, gesturing behind her. “This is my boyfriend, Aurelio.”
Aurelio stood up, cock pressing eagerly against his boxers, pants in hand. His shirt was now on Mia since she grabbed the wrong one in the dark. She looked at his naked torso and then down at herself.
Aurelio nodded politely, stepping forward to put an arm around Mia’s waist. “It’s a pleasure to meet you guys.” He extended a hand to shake.
Melvin did not budge, eyes locked on Aurelio’s expression.
Matty smiled, reaching forward and shaking hands enthusiastically. “Aurelio! Not as colorful as I was hoping, Mr. Borealis!”
Aurelio busted out laughing. Mia rolled her eyes, elbowing him softly. “Don’t encourage him.” she admonished, but he only laughed harder.
“It’s funny.” He gave an easy smile.
Matt released his hand and Mikey took it next, giving Aurelio a firm handshake. “I’m Mike; that idiot is Matt.”
“Nice to meet you.” Once Mikey released him, Aurelio placed his hand in front of Melvin.
Her brother looked at his hand with one eyebrow raised and looked at Mia. “What were you two up to?”
Mia’s face went red. “BFG.” Melvin narrowed his eyes at her; dirty tricks were not appreciated. “We were just watching TV.” She pointed to the TV, which was clearly on but turned down so low no sound could be heard.
Mikey and Matty, standing half a step behind the eldest brother, raised their brows, and their mouths stretched into thin smiles. Mia knew Melvin knew what they had been doing; he was just torturing her.
Aurelio kept his hand extended with an easy smile on his lips. Melvin looked at Aurelio again and nodded, finally taking his hand. Their knuckles turned white as they shook hands, but Aurelio remained smiling.
Melvin’s face was set in a scowl. “It’s late.” He released Aurelio’s hand first. “We should all get some sleep.”
Mia nodded in agreement, and Mikey and Matty moved to their respective beds. As Matty passed Aurelio, he gave him a pat on the back, whispering, “Good luck.” Mia stuck her tongue out at him, and Aurelio laughed, pulling her closer to him. She smiled as she slid into his arms.
Melvin’s scowl deepened. “So, we should be saying goodnight, Aurelio.”
Mia scoffed, “No, he is staying.”
“The couch is taken,” Melvin pointed out, arms crossed over his chest.
“That’s fine; he’ll sleep in my bed with me.”
Aurelio looked away. He didn’t want to get in between the siblings lest he receive a blow.
“Dude,” Matty called from behind them; Mia and Aurelio turned around. “This yours?” He held up the t-shirt Mia had been wearing. Her face went even more red, and Aurelio chuckled, catching the shirt.
“Mia,” Melvin began, but she cut him off.
“Mel, I am a 27-year-old woman in my own apartment. If I want my boyfriend to fall asleep with me, he will.”
“Mia.” His face relaxed a little. “I am painfully aware how old you are, but we are all right here; there’s no walls.”
“MELVIN!” she yelled. “You honestly think I’m going to fuck him with my brothers in the room?!” Mia’s face was redder than ever, and her brother’s face turned a shade darker, too.
“Well,” Mikey’s voice interrupted. “We all know how hard it is to sleep with a boner and bro…” Mikey looked at Aurelio. “That looks hella painful.”
“Please, for the love of God, shut up. All of you.” Mia, closing her eyes, breathed in deeply. “This, all and any of this conversation is not happening. Everyone, go to sleep.” She grabbed Aurelio’s arm and dragged him to the bed, closing the thin curtain as they went.
“Night,” Mikey and Matty called, but Melvin remained quiet.
“Night, guys,” Aurelio said as Mia threw herself down face-first, screaming into the pillow.
Aurelio climbed into the bed, his weight pushing the mattress down. “Now, beautiful,” he whispered into her ear. “I should be the only reason you scream.” He pressed into her, erection still bulging in his boxers. She rolled herself over, laying side by side with him. He winked, an open invitation.
“Not here.” She looked towards her brothers. “Did you drive here?” She bit her lip as Aurelio nodded.
Slowly, she walked to the door, silently clicked the lock, and slid it open enough for Aurelio to sneak out. As she turned to move out the door, she glanced back at her brothers. Melvin had his back to her, facing the back of the couch. Mikey was on his stomach, loudly snoring as he did every night. Matty stared straight at her, watching them sneak away. He shook his head, giving Mia a wink, and turned his head to the side.
Mia gave a little laugh and slipped out the door. Aurelio was waiting for her with a hand outstretched, face split in a wide grin. She placed her hand in his, and off they ran.
Baby was nowhere to be seen; instead, a Bugatti was parked near the old girl. Aurelio opened Mia’s door and closed it gently. Moving to the driver’s side, he slid behind the wheel. But before he even turned the car on, Mia leaned across the center, pressing herself against him, pulling him into a deep kiss. Aurelio kissed her back, reaching for her hips to pull her on his lap. She went willingly, his fingers brush her clit gently, making goosebumps break out along her skin.
“Oh, beautiful,” he whispered into her neck. She could feel the hard length of him on her thigh, begging for attention.
Mia pressed her breasts against him after her shirt was pulled over her head. Aurelio bit down on her nipple, and she cried out in a mix of pleasure and pain. He flicked the stiffened peak with his tongue, soothing the bite mark.
“Wait.” She breathed “I want to do something.” Mia moved back to her side, buckling up. “Drive.” She stared at him, panting and waiting.
Aurelio turned the car on and peeled out of the garage. As he began to navigate the streets, Mia reached across the center console and found his cock. It was hard in her hands as she pulled it free of his boxers. Aurelio glanced at her, eyes dark and questioning. She licked her lips and leaned over, placing her lips around the head.
“Oh fuuucckk,” Aurelio moaned out, leaving one hand on the wheel and reaching for the shifter as he picked up speed.
Mia moved faster, her tongue swirling around his hard length, pulling him in as far as she could and swallowing him down. Aurelio drove faster and faster. Mia felt the car speeding, his cock in her mouth, and the adrenaline. She pulled back, licking the tip and stroking him.
“Mia.” Aurelio’s eyes were focused on the road, hands white-knuckled on the wheel. “I’m going to cum.”
Mia smiled, taking his whole length in her mouth again; she pumped him in and out, swallowing and licking as precum began to leak on her tongue. She felt his cock pulsing, about to burst. She moved back, popping his cock free from her mouth, hands working him faster. She licked him once, twice, and said the magic word. “Scream.”
Aurelio let out a deep guttural cry. His cock spurted hot cum into her mouth as she sucked him down, her throat constricting around the long length as she swallowed all of it. His cock began to soften, and she let it fall from her lips, kissing the head gently and returning to her seat.
“Holy fuck.” Aurelio reached over to her lap. “That was fucking incredible.” He entwined his fingers with hers.
“I know,” she said, face flushed red and adrenaline still pumping.
“Now I need to return the favor,” Aurelio vowed, pulling over. He navigated them to an area overseeing the city with all the lights bright below them. The view was breathtaking, to say the least. “Come with me.” Aurelio opened his door, and Mia followed suit. “Lay on the hood,” he commanded, his dominating voice taking over.
Mia shuddered, letting herself fall back against the hood. As she tried to slide her body higher on the metal, Aurelio kneeled and placed her legs on his shoulders, pushing her up. She let out a gasp; the warm hood on her back felt nice, but Aurelio’s bristly stumble on her inner thighs felt even better. He placed gentle kisses on her thighs. Mia could feel her arousal rising as he moaned against her skin, the deep vibrations moving through her body.
“Fuck, I love you.” He breathed her in, his nose moving closer and closer to her pussy. Suddenly, she felt a light lick on her clit, quick but not enough. Then another and another. They gradually came quicker; Aurelio’s head moved gently with each lick he placed. She moaned as he moved, swirling over her clit, driving her to orgasm. Two fingers slid into her pussy with his tongue, and she let out a louder moan. His thumb came up to the sensitive bundle of nerves, circling it gently.
“Fuck, Aurelio.” She wanted his cock inside her. “Fuck me.” He lifted his head to look at her. “Please, fuck me,” she begged again.
Aurelio gave her a few more licks. “I’m enjoying my meal,” he said, grinning.
“Put your cock in me now,” she ordered.
Aurelio raised an eyebrow, giving her one final lick and moving backward. He let her feet hit the ground and flipped her over, exposing her ass. He gave her a spank; the sound was loud, but the pain was perfect. Mia whimpered as Aurelio smacked her ass once more and slid his cock into her. Both of them let out satisfied moans. He thrust into her, hands on her hips. Mia’s hands slapped against the hood of the car, crying out as her orgasm started to peak. Without a word, they both let out a scream as they came together, the waves of pleasure pulling them over the edge.
“Fucking perfect.” Aurelio kissed her neck and moved back. He helped her stand. Mia’s legs felt like jelly as she wobbled a little. “Woah.”
He placed one arm behind her knees and the other under her arms. He picked her up, carrying her to the car. He set her in and buckled the seatbelt. Mia smiled at him; her whole world was content. Aurelio got behind the wheel and drove off, heading back to the loft. Mia didn’t feel his hand on her thigh; her eyes struggled to stay open. When she opened them enough to see he had both hands on the wheel, she grunted and pouted, slapping his thigh.
Aurelio let out a laugh and interlocked his fingers with hers, resting them back on her leg. “I love you, too, beautiful,” he said, and Mia let her eyes close.
He lifted her out of the car. She wanted to protest and walk, but she was so tired. She let him carry her to the stairs and then smacked his arm. Aurelio set her down with a laugh.
“I don’t want you falling down with me in your arms, and we both break our necks.”
Aurelio merely laughed, putting his hands up in surrender. The progress up the stairs was slow. Mia kept yawning and stopping, her body begging to collapse right there. But Aurelio said nothing, just walked behind her patiently. Finally, her door came into view, and with it, Melvin. His arms were crossed, his face stern. She stood taller despite her protesting legs.
“And where did you sneak off to?” Melvin asked, eyes going from Mia to Aurelio.
“Well, I told you I wouldn’t fuck him in the same room as my brothers.” Mia pushed past him and into the loft. Aurelio stopped before her brother, waiting with a smile.
Melvin rolled his eyes, moving to the side. “Go to bed,” he ordered, returning to the couch.
“Yes, Dad,” Mia said, almost immediately regretting it. As she held her breath, she heard Melvin let out a deep one.
“Melvin, I’m—”
She stared at the couch as his stern voice rang out, interrupting her. “Go to bed.”
Mia turned toward the bed where Aurelio already waited. She slid into his strong arms, his warmth calming her nerves. Together, they settled, sleep overtaking them.
