Chapter 23

It’s three in the morning, so I knew when I walked in, both Natalia and Drake would likely be asleep. Walking into the bedroom and finding her wrapped around my brother like he’s the only man in the world does something to me I don’t like. Until this moment, I thought sharing her wasn’t a problem. The way she lays in his arms, her face pressed against his chest, it tells me she didn’t miss me. I bet she didn’t even think about me for a single second. I’m not used to jealousy. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure how to handle it. If the man in bed with my girl wasn’t my brother, he’d already be dead with his blood splattered all over her beautiful body. But he is my brother. And I agreed with this. Fuck.

I should go to bed, but I don”t. Instead, I strip down to my boxers and take a seat in the oversized chair while I watch my girl snuggle up with Drake. It’s pure torture looking at her naked body draped over his. I sit here for hours, sipping on a Scotch, staring at my Natalia. Her eyes peel open and her gaze travels to mine as if she could someone feel I was here. That’s crazy though, right? A lazy smile spreads across her face as she jumps up and rushes over to me, “Dante!” Climbing into my lap, she throws her arms around my neck, “Why didn’t you come to bed?”

I shrug slightly as I return her embrace. “I didn’t want to interrupt.”

Running my fingers down her naked back, I hold her close to me as she arches her back, leaning into my touch. A moan slips from her lips as my cock hardens. I pull myself out of my boxers, lift her and slide her down my length. I glance over her shoulder and see my brother watching us as I grab her ass, lift her and slam her back down onto my cock. Pushing her feet onto the chair on either side of me, she bounces while I take her nipples into my mouth, one and then the other.

“If this is how you’ll greet me every time I’m out late, I might be home late more often.”

She giggles as she presses her face into my shoulder. “I shouldn’t have, but I missed you.”

Kissing her neck, I groan louder than I mean to, “I missed you too, Sunshine.”

The entire night dealing with our missing shipment, I thought about her. It was hell. Knowing my brother was with her and I was stuck dealing with a miserable Domenic. He is the head of our family and has a short temper when things don’t go his way. He had no intention of leaving his wife until she gives birth, but this wasn’t optional. Drake is lucky he didn’t get pulled into it. I didn’t mention him helping us because I didn”t really want Natalia to be left alone. So this was the lesser of two evils.

“Let me have her mouth,” Drake says, but I chuckle because it’s not happening.

“I don’t think so, asshole. You’ve had to yourself all night. Now she’s mine. I’m not sharing. You can watch or go fuck yourself.”

I fist my hand in her hair and pull her mouth to mine and take her in a slow, tantalizing kiss. Lowering my mouth to her neck, I suck on the spot below her ear that makes her pant. She moves up and down my cock, now increasing her speed, almost with desperation.

“Good girl. Make yourself come on my dick, Sunshine.”

She tosses her head back, her lips part on a loud moan, as her pussy squeezes me like a vice, pulling my orgasm from me.

“Take a shower and come downstairs. I’ll make you breakfast.”

She arches an eyebrow and feigns a serious expression, “There better be coffee.”

I chuckle as I squeeze her against my chest. “Anything for you, Sunshine.”

Natalia pulls back, places her hands on my face and stares at me in what appears to be confusion. “That’s sweet for a mobster, Dante. You aren’t supposed to be nice. You’re lethal, remember?”

“Only for you, baby. Now go get that shower.”

She gets off me, and I put myself back in my boxers before grabbing a pair of sweatpants. I nod to my brother to follow me downstairs so we can discuss his text message from earlier before our girl comes down.

As I’m brewinga pot of coffee, Drake walks into the kitchen. “I assume you got my text.”

I nod as I grab three coffee mugs and place them on the counter. “Yeah. I couldn’t respond without raising questions with Domenic. It’s arranged. Michael will pick all three of them up shortly.”

He folds his arms over his chest as he stares at me through a narrowed gaze. “All three of them?”

I pour the cups of coffee. “Yeah. Just in case we need her for leverage.”

Handing my brother a cup, he says, “Thanks,” as I take a sip of mine.

Natalia comes into the kitchen looking like a fucking dream, dressed in jeans and a skimpy tank top, her pretty little nipples pressing against the thin fabric. “All three of who?”

Drake growls at her, “Business. Our business, not yours.”

She rolls her eyes at him, and I chuckle when he doesn’t respond to it. That’s very unlike my brother, because he has a serious issue with disrespect.

I hand Natalia her coffee, and she inhales the scent before a light moan slips from her. “Thank you. You’re a prince.”

“That’s me,” I chuckle before asking, “What do you want to eat?”

She shakes her head and glances at my brother with a nervous expression. “Nothing,” Natalia holds her hands up, “I promise I’ll eat. I’m having breakfast and spending the day with Giada.”

Drake places his coffee cup on the counter and moves to her, cradling Natalia’s face in his palms. He speaks low, “If I find out you didn’t eat, and I will find out, there will be consequences. Unpleasant consequences.”

People bristle under his gaze. Recently, Natalia would’ve as well, but not this time. She narrows her eyes at him. “I’m not afraid of you, you big brute. But I will eat because I said I would. I’m not a liar. Don’t treat me like one.”

“Fuck your sexy,” he growls, and she giggles, “I’m sexy now?”

He chuckles loudly, “You’ve always been sexy, Pretty Girl. You standing up for yourself? Yeah, that’s the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.”

Leaning down, he kisses her. I groan when she moans into his mouth. They separate and she walks over to me and throws her arms around my neck. “Thank you for the coffee.”

I rub the pad of my thumb over her bottom lip. “Thank you for riding my cock.”

Her cheeks blush instantly as she lowers her gaze in embarrassment. “Dante.”

Placing my thumb and finger on her chin and tilt her head back, “No Sunshine. You don’t get to be ashamed of feeling good.”

Standing on her toes, she presses her lips to mine and I kiss her back with more forcefulness than is necessary. Natalia whimpers when I wrap her hair around my fists and yank her head back so I can devour her slender neck. Fuck. This is what I want her to give herself to me like this. Not because if she doesn’t, her pathetic cunt of a sister will die. But because she wants this as much as we do. I groan when she digs her nails into my chest as she melts into me. Drake comes up behind her and she whimpers as she’s sandwiched between the two of us.

“Are you wet for us, Pretty Girl?”

She giggles lightly. “I’ve been wet since you basically kidnapped me. I have to go. Gia is waiting for me.”

My brother grabs her shoulders and spins her until she’s facing him. “We did not kidnap you. You have never been treated like a kidnap victim. However, if you’d prefer, I’d be happy to keep you chained to a bed twenty-four seven.”

We both chuckle as she visibly shrinks. “No. Please,” her voice trembles in a plea to not be locked up like the captive she claims to be.

Drake glares at her, his hands gripping her shoulders. “You want to play the victim, you’ll be the victim. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, Pretty Girl. Understood?”

She nods emphatically, “Yes.”

“Good girl. Now behave yourself today. No stopping at the pharmacy. Got it?”

“Yes,” she says bitterly and my brother chuckles, “Who gives you pain when you need it, Pretty Girl?”

“You,” she quickly answers.

Drake and I are different in this aspect. I don’t mind causing people pain, but not her. I want to kiss her and make everything better. My brother likes to cause pain to even her. And she wants it. I don’t understand it, but I accept it. Although I wonder if the time will come when I get phased out. If Drake can give her everything she needs, why would she want me? She wouldn’t. My brother might be enough for her, but I won’t be. All three of my brothers mean the world to me. Then again, so does Natalia. What would I do if Drake decided he wanted her all to himself?
