TONY

I was out of control. I knew it. I should stop. I should release Elio and figure out some other way to solve this, but there wasn't one. Whatever he planned to use for blackmail was all we had. I wasn't giving him up, and Vinnie wasn't going to agree to let me keep him if he didn't reveal all the details of his plan.

"On your back," I demanded. "Head here." I pointed to the side of the mattress.

Elio positioned himself like I said, and I gripped his shoulders, pulling him toward me until his head hung off the bed. I stood behind him, caressing his throat as I stared down at him.

"Are you really going to choke me until I agree to turn over my evidence?"

I loved how hoarse he was, loved knowing my cock had done that. "Is that what you want? Do you want me to torture it out of you?"

"Fuck. I don't know."

I thrust back into his mouth, and he gagged around me. I pinned his arms to his sides as I fucked his mouth, sliding all the way in on each stroke. He swallowed around me and used his tongue to tease my shaft. I realized he wasn't going to give in. He was just going to take whatever I gave him.

I drove in and held still. When I laid a hand over his throat to feel my cock there, I almost came. "Give in. Give me what I want. Swear your loyalty to me."

He shook his head.

I kept still for a few more seconds then pulled out. "What's it going to take, Elio?"

Tears poured from his eyes, and his mouth was a sloppy mess. "I don't know." He barely choked out the words.

He opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, ready for more. He was still rock hard for me. I undid his pants so I could work his cock as I fucked his mouth. He writhed, desperate for more. His hips pumped up, driving his shaft through my hand.

When I was sure he was about to come, I let go and gripped the base of his cock, squeezing hard, making sure he wouldn't be able to get relief.

I pulled out of his mouth and seized his hair forcing him to look up at me. "Do you want to walk back out there to Vinnie with your dick still hard and aching? Do you want him to know I wouldn't let you come?"

"You'd never let him see me like that." He gasped the words out.

"I'm not letting you go."

"I don't want you to."

His words made my heart stutter. "Fuck, baby, you really don't have a choice."

"I do, and I choose you."

Had I heard him right? "What?"

"I choose you."

"Wait. How?—"

"I'll do what I have to for this, for you."

"Jesus, you're incredible."

"Yes, now finish me off."

I wrapped my hand around his cock and worked him with long, rough strokes while I thrust into his mouth. His body tensed as he swallowed around me. "Come for me. Right fucking now."

He made a strangled sound then let go. Cum shot from his cock over and over. He still wasn't finished when I gave him one final thrust and poured my seed down his throat.

He swallowed every drop.

I pulled out as soon as I was done, gathered him into my arms, and sat on the bed, cradling him against me as he shivered from the breeze coming through the window.

"I love you, Elio. I love you so much."

"Love…you…too. Want to do it again."

I smiled down at him. He was fucking perfect. "I'll do it any time you want. That and lots more. But first we've got to make sure you're safe from your father."

I helped Elio clean up, wiping his abdomen and bathing his face gently. There wasn't anything I could do about his swollen lips or his hoarse voice, but I was sure Vinnie had put Tom in the same position. At least we only had to see the two of them. Wishing we had more time alone, I closed the window and secured it, then took Elio's hand and led him down the hall.

When we found Vinnie in his office a few moments later, Vinnie looked Elio up and down and smiled. "Are you ready to hand over the evidence?"

"I'm ready to share it with you and explain what it means."

Vinnie glared at him.

"That's the best you're going to get."

Vinnie held out his hand. "I want the drive."

Elio glanced at me, and I mouthed Please .

He pulled the zip drive from his pocket and handed it over. Vinnie loaded it up on a laptop that I knew was a spare he used when he wanted to be sure nothing corrupted his real machine.

When he opened the files, he frowned. "Tell me what I'm seeing." He turned the computer so Elio and I could also see it.

"These are bank statements from my father's personal account. They show payments going to this bank account number." He pointed to the screen, and Vinnie nodded. "That account belongs to Senator Thompkins."

Vinnie frowned "Why would he support Thompkins? If he pushes his latest bill through, the terms will be a nightmare for your father's business interests."

"True," Elio said.

"So, what's the deal?"

"The senator caught my father in bed with his fifteen-year-old daughter."

It took a lot to get a reaction out of Vinnie, but his eyes went wide. "Fuck."

"If my father doesn't keep up his ‘donations' that information and the video the senator took gets turned over to the authorities."

"That sick fuck took a video of his own daughter instead of stopping Giacomo?"

Elio nodded.

"And the daughter? I assume she has no say in it?"

"She's not been seen since the incident. Rumors spread that she ran away, but I don't think that's what happened. I think her father sent her some place where she won't be able to talk and ruin his blackmail scheme."

"Gross," I said. "Vinnie, we?—"

He nodded. "I'm on it. I've got some contacts. If she's alive, we'll find her."

"And do what?" Elio asked.

"We don't hurt innocent young women," Vinnie answered.

Elio looked at me, and I nodded. "Okay. That's the secret I found. It's enough to get him off my back."

"Let's hope so."

"If not, I will go public with it," Elio said. "I think he'll know that."

"We'll handle him," Vinnie said.

"I need to handle it. He needs to know I brought this to your attention."

Vinnie raised his brows. "How well has it worked in the past when you've tried to negotiate with him?"

"I can do this."

"But you don't have to," I said. "We're here for you now."

Vinnie nodded. "This is big. I'm going to bring the Marchesis in. You two are going to sit tight at Tony's house and wait for further instructions."

"No, I need to be part of this."

"Look at me." When Elio did, I continued. "Do you really? Does it matter as long as you're free? As long as we're together?"
