Chapter 82: I Am Happy To Be With Them
Adriano
"Lucas planted a hit on one of our smaller departments in another country and he blew up all of our supplies there, including the people moving it." Domenico was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth.
"Then why are we still off work? We need to take him out now before he creates any real damage."
That is the problem, I am no longer off work.
"I don't know and it has me on edge and has my nightmares returning."
That was only a partial lie, one that he doesn't seem to catch. One week ago, I received a phone call that changed everything and it wasn't the information about the explosion that caused me to lose it.
One week ago, Camilla found my destroyed room and smashed phone a few minutes after I received a new assignment. Raphael is a cold and manipulative bastard and I will kill him for the position he has put me in.
"So what were we asked to do?" He asked after a long silence and that is when I moved from my spot and over to the mini fridge for some water.
I didn't respond to his question and instead tossed him a cold bottle of water for himself. He steps out of the boxing ring to catch it, following my lead when I take a seat on one of the many benches we have in here.
"What happened?" He asked, although I feel his eye on me, I don't verbally acknowledge anything he said. I felt defeated and he sighed.
"How big is it then?" He asked, knowing if it were small I would have told him at least.
"Life changing." I said, too tired to fight and too stubborn to cry.
He recognized this and while I know he has a whole series of questions he wants to ask, he kept quiet and I didn't say anything more. For more than twenty minutes, the two of us sit there in a comfortable silence, both losing ourselves to our own thoughts.
In this particular moment, I am thinking of the woman upstairs that is slowly bringing me to my knees before her.
"How is Camilla?" I couldn't help but ask, breaking the silence hanging in the air. Turning my head, I find a satisfied smirk now on my brother's face.
"I am never going to let her go." He said and I was surprised by his response and I know he meant that as a promise, not just a statement.
"Even if that means roping her in with all of this shit?" I asked the question that has been on my mind from the day she showed interest.
"Camilla is her own person." He said, telling me what I already know.
"When the time is right, we will tell her about the mafia. It will be her decision to make but I know that I am never going to initiate leaving her."
The thought of losing Camilla is what is destroying me right now. I will do anything and everything I possibly can to fight what fate is proposing right now but it is too late to let her go. Too late to free her of us.
My assignment is one that has the possibility of destroying everything that is beginning to matter, including myself, Domenico, Gregorio and our girl. The person who is starting to make me feel something for the first time since….
My thoughts trail off, not wanting to think about that horrible night. This assignment was my idea and I only have myself to blame. But it doesn't make anything of what I am about to do any easier.
Camilla POV
Today, I have a group scene with my men and the anticipation of what is going to happen is much stronger than I predicted it would be. Of course, there is always the suspense, the nerves and the excitement but things are different when we are all together. It just feels right, it feels complete.
Walking up to the front door of their house feels right. This time, the scary lady guarding the gate didn't question my presence, stepping aside at the first sight of me.
Doubting if they could hear my knock, I decided to ring the bell and second later Gregorio answered the door with an easy smile plastered on his face.
"Hi, sweetheart." He greeted, pulling me in by the waist and tilting my chin up with his fingers and our lips connected immediately. The kiss was soft and slow but it left me breathless.
I am reminded that even though it was only a few days since I saw him, it felt like much too long. Both of our bodies are reacting as if it has been forever and I will admit, I missed the feel of this. I missed the feeling of his large arms wrapping around me, making me feel secure enough to melt completely into his touch. Pulling my lips away but remaining in his arms, I looked up at him to find his eyes absolutely wild, my own likely matching.
"Hi," I breathed, a flush appearing on my cheeks as his hand trails down to rest on my ass.
His mouth opened into a teasing smirk but just as he was about to speak, I heard Domenico's voice from further inside. I think he was calling out to me but his exact words were muffled due to the distance between us.
"He told us what you two did, you know?" He said into my ear, causing my blood to heat up already..
All I could do was look at him and do my best not to squirm at the memory of the ice, the punishment, me riding. No, I need to stop. The smirk on his face revealed he knew what I was thinking of too.
"Is there a point to that statement?" I quip, not sure where that question came from but I sure enjoyed the look of shock on his features at my words.
With slightly raised eyebrows and an amused expression, he gave me a devilish smile as he pulled me in with the hand still on my ass. I saw Domenico walking down the stairs in my peripheral vision but I am more focused on the hiss that escaped my lips when his hand tightened on my still sore skin.
"I hope you are ready for tonight, sweetheart because truthfully, you have been on my mind from the second I last saw you." Gregorio pulls my earlobe between his teeth and nips lightly.
"I have been thinking of all of the ways I can play with you and believe me when I say I am looking forward to every promising minute of it."
Abruptly stepping away from my body, Domenico swoops in within the same second, he kisses me hello. It has only been five minutes of being around them and I already both want to know all about their day as well as if Gregorio and Adriano are going to feel as good inside me as Domenico did but I can't spot my third man anywhere.
"Where is Adriano?" I asked as the three of us walked inside the house. Glancing around, I didn't see him anywhere.
"He left for a small getaway yesterday but he will be back tonight, I promise." Domenico assured me, guiding me until the living room with a hand on the small of my back and Gregorio was following behind.
Concern for Adriano fills my mind but I forced myself to not think the worst and that he is probably fine.
"Don't you ever worry that he won't return?" I asked, instantly warmed by the burning fireplace cracking beneath the mounted flat screen television.
I find the table centered across from the sectional is covered in an assortment of cheese and crackers platters with grapes and wine along with it. Is this a date?
"Never permanently." Gregorio responded, taking over the majority of my thoughts.
I don't want to be clingy if a simple trip is all this is, but when he suddenly stands up and leaves with no message, it just doesn't always sit well with me. My attention flicks down to the ring currently banned on my pinky finger. It hasn't left my hand since it was given to me.
"Adriano always comes back." Domenico added, seeming unbothered by his brother's absence and I decided to drop it for now. They did in fact set this all up for me.
"Gregorio and I thought we could maybe watch movies while we were waiting for his return." Domenico smiles, nodding over to the food assortment and throwing a blanket already placed on the couch.
"That fine," I flashed him a grin of my own, taking a step into the living room and onto the carpet.
I only make it to two steps though before Gregorio sneaks up behind me and scoops me up into his arms.
"Gregorio?" I laughed as he walked me right past the table and gently plops me down next to him on the couch.
His arm doesn't waste a second before wrapping around me while Domenico sits on my other side and takes my legs into his lap.
"I am happy you are here, sweetheart." Gregorio said as he planted a kiss on the top of my head and my body nestled into his.
"I am happy to be here too." I grin, relaxing into both of their touches.
I am happy to be with my men again more than they know.
