Chapter 112
She shrugged, “yes and then you said you could kill me if I cheated on you and cheating is a form of betrayal, and you wouldn’t define the parameters you consider cheating and I envisioned you as coldly as you did to Corrado, killing me for betraying you.”
He pulled her to his chest and hugged her tight. “Oh, my sweet Alcee. First and foremost, I do not believe this will ever happen. You must understand this. I don’t look at my friends and my family and think, oh I may need to kill them someday.”
Her lips twisted, “really? Because 1 know some of your friends now and I’d shoot them for far less than betrayal.”
He chuckled and kissed her forehead. “The people in my circle, the ones 1 keep close to me are the ones I know I can trust without a shadow of doubt. There is never any doubt in my mind for me to trust them a hundred percent and this includes you, Alcee. I trust you. You aren’t sleeping in my bed with even the teeniest amount of fear you’ll betray me. The notion I would be forced to kill you, and for the record it would be forced, not easy, doesn’t come into play because I know you won’t do to me what your mother did to your father. Also, he probably deserved it, and I intend to be a much better husband than he could ever be.”
“She just snuck out like a thief in the night, Torq. She didn’t even give him a warning his own son was coming to kill him with a small army of people at his back. After all the other things he’s done over the years this is bad.”
“What if he has a love child out there?”
She smacked his chest, “as if. You forget, I was the mistake which happened when they had unprotected sex after his vasectomy. There is no love child. He might have cheated maybe but there are no other kids,”
“Yeah, we didn’t find any y either.” Torq shrugged.
“If we were married forty years and I found out you shared a kid with someone else out there, I would probably let you die though.” She admitted Torq’s suggestion was a valid one.
should put this on our list.” He grinned at her. “What if I don’t know it’s out there?”
“Depends on the birthday. If it’s before me, you live. If it’s after me, you’re a dead man.
“So, impregnating someone after we’re together a crime punishable by death.”
“Yes.” Her lips twitched as he flipped his laptop back open and quickly typed in the words under the heading of Alcee’s rules.
She watched as he put under Torq’s rules his first one.
“Fucking any man other than Torq is a death sentence, unless Torq is in the room and approves the activity?” she read it aloud. “Are you kidding
“I mean right now I’m a possessive, jealous prick of a man. Who knows? In our fifties we could become swingers.”
She shook her head in disbelief. “We will not be swingers.”
“Go to one of those hedonistic clubs and get our groove on as old people? I bet even in our seventies and eighties you’d have the best ass on the
resort.”
“Would you stop?” she was giggling now, and he nuzzled her neck playfully. “We aren’t ever going to be swingers. That’s so gross. I’m a one partner woman, thank you very much.”
“I’m leaving it there in case you change your mind. You could potentially change your mind about betraying me so this could happen.”
“Possible not probable.” She nodded her agreement.
“No kissing other men on the mouth.”
d at the e punishment he tied to it. “A spanking?”
“Will it get me killed?” she looked as he typed it and then shook her head i
*Definitely a spanking and not the kind you will be moaning Daddy over like in your dreams of Pedro Pascal.”
Chapter 112
“Who do you dream of when you’re stroking off?”
“Alcee Mariani, what kind of question is that and hey, are you thinking of actors instead of me when you’re masturbating?”
“Not as of late but if you let yourself go it might happen.”
He pinched her thigh as his chest rumbled with laughter. “For the last six years when I jerk off, it’s always been to thoughts of a gorgeous brunette on her knees asking me to teach her how to suck my cock.”
“That was
hat was a fun night.” She grinned at him widely.
“It was the best night of my life, bar none.” He said seriously. “I never dreamed we would feel so connected so quickly and yet we did, and I was mapping out our entire future while you slept in my arms. The fucking Zanelli family ruined everything. If I had of been able to stay in bed with you, I intended to tell you who I was.
“You were really planning forever from the first night?”
“Yup. I knew a good thing when I saw it. Still do. I won’t let you go, Alcee. You’re too important to me. You make me feel like I can feel. You make me believe it’s possible for me to have more than the coldness in my heart. I love my parents and my sister. I care deeply for my friends. This though, this romantic love, the way I know it’s starting and it’s going to grow, it makes me confident we are going to be ones to last as long as my Mama and Clochu.”
