Gregorio wrapped his coat around her shoulders and he moved in to cup her cheek. “You’ve always belonged.” He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. “I’ve waited so damn to hold you,” he confessed and squeezed her tighter. “You’ve always amazed me.” He stroked her hair now and held her. “He tried to keep you from ever learning the truth.” He pressed a kiss at her ear. “But one thing he could never keep you from is me. I tried, Alessandra. I tried to stay away, because I know I’m not a good man and I never will be.”
She tried to pull back from him, but he wouldn’t allow it. He held her closer. “Let me finish,” he said. “I’ve tried to stay from you, but I can’t. You have one chance, Al, only one. If you don’t walk away now I’m never letting you go.”
“You told me two days.” Alessandra looked up at him with a smile. Damn, he loved that look in her eyes. “Were you part of all of the family business?”
“Do you want me to lie to you?” He pulled her back slightly, his fist in her long dark black tresses to control her head. “Because now that you know, you need to open your eyes and know everything. I won’t lie to you, Alessandra, not now that you know.”
“I don’t want someone to lie to me. I don’t want to be coddled. I need to know what I’m getting into.”
“Yes, I was part of it all. I’ve fucked every whore under your father. I’ve beaten and killed men that didn’t pay when they owed a debt. I’m not a good man, Alessandra, and I never will be. But…” He tightened his hold on her hair. He wanted to see how she would react to a bit of pain. “Once you are in my bed, I won’t fuck another. That’s the way it should be. The Boss should never have a mistress.”
“Did my father?”
“Several. You have two half-brothers out there somewhere. They were twins. He’s hidden them or paid his whore off to go away, but I know that they are out there. They were born two days after you.”
He heard her indrawn breath and felt her shake in his arms. “What?” She whispered that word, her eyes once more wide.
“You heard me. Don’t ask for a repetition of something you already know, Alessandra. It makes you seem dim, and we both know you aren’t. Don’t demean yourself and me by asking for statements to be parroted back at you.” She was going to be his wife. He would not allow her to seem weak. He wasn’t going to let her hide. Not now. Never again. “You are stronger than this, Alessandra, and you damn well know it. Don’t act stupid.”
“Don’t talk to me like that,” she said angrily, her eyes flashing in anger. “Contrary to popular believe, I am not stupid.”
“I know.” He knew just how intelligent she was. She had two degrees from college and was far too smart for him, but he wasn’t letting her go. Not now and not ever. “You make me feel, but it's more than that. You make me question myself, and you make me more observant because you are so smart. I’m thankful for your intellect. You are more than a beautiful woman to have on my arm.”
“I don’t want to know anything about the business. I just want you to come home to me each and every night. Can you do that?”
“I will do all I can to ensure I always come home to you, Alessandra. You are the one I’ve been waiting for. Since I saw you naked at sixteen, I knew you were going to be my wife one day. I’ve wanted you since then.” He admitted this bluntly. “I was twenty-eight and wanted to fuck you nine ways of Sunday.”
“Oh.” He could see the shock on her face when she muttered that one singular word. “I don’t know what to say to that.”
“How about you just tell me you want me.” He pulled her close. He then watched her. “I’m going to kiss you now, sweetheart.”
“Okay.” Her eyes were glued to his lips and that had his dick even harder. He tugged her just a bit, enough to make her lose balance, and then put his mouth to
