Sold To the Grizzly Don (Alcee and Bruno) novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113

Her eyes were burning she was so tired, and she looked at Torq who was playing with blocks on the floor with Antero and saw the deep purple bruises under his eyes and knew he was faring no better. They’d been ready to head back to bed after their discussion in his office when Antero came bounding out of the room excited to start a new day.

“Babe,” Torg called out to her, and she blinked at him. “Go take a nap.”

“What?”

“You’ve been staring at me for like five minutes but I’m pretty sure you haven’t seen me at all, and Mama has asked you three times if you want tea and you haven’t heard her. You’re zoned out. Go to bed.”

“No. I’m fine.”

“Actually, Torg,” Brunella called out, “why don’t you both go. Antero and I can do something together while you rest. Lorita will back in a few minutes with the things from the shop I asked for. Your father will be awake soon.”

“Antero are you comfortable sitting alone with Nonna?” Torq asked him seriously.

“What are we going to do?TM

“Well, we could do your puzzles or color or,” she smiled, “I know how to make play dough. I used to make it with Lorita when she was younger. We could make the dough and use cookie cutters. Or we could make cookies and use cookie cutters. Whichever you like.”

Antero nodded excitedly. “I would like to make the dough.”

“Excellent. Come to the kitchen. Your mama and papa need some rest. They were up all night with their friends, and they need a little bit of sleep.”

“Brunella, are you sure?”

set some sleep.”

“A hundred percent, Alcee. Go get

“Thank you.” She moved to get off the sofa and stumbled backwards.

Torq laughed at her as he got off the floor and he scooped her up.

Antero grunted, “there you go picking her up again.”

“I don’t mind, Ant.” Alcee laughed, “I’m too tired to walk. Your dad can carry me to bed and tuck me in, and I’m not even bothered about it.”

“Is he going to help you put on your pajamas?”

“Yes please, Torq whispered in her ear.

“No. He’s not.” She made eyes

es at Torq who smiled sleepily at her. “Take me to bed, Torq”

“Gladly,” he carried her down the hall while Antero mumbled about his mom and dad being weird.

Torq dropped her into the bed, and she bounced. She glared at him. “That was not a gentle placement in the bed.”

“Too tired for gentle. You’re lucky I made it down the hall with you in my arms.” He collapsed over her and groaned loudly as he crushed her into

the mattress.

“Get off me,” she pushed at his chest weakly.

“I can get you off,” he whispered wickedly

“No, you can’t. I’m too tired. It’s impossible.”

“Think how much better we’ll both sleep if we come,”

“Torg, you cannot be serious.”

“I really am.” His hands were reaching to pull her t–shirt off as he rolled off her. “I’ve been sitting out in the living room looking at you in this t- shirt knowing you don’t have a bra on and all I can think of is touching them.”

She closed her eyes as his lips wrapped around her exposed flesh. “Fine but make it fast because I’m tired.” She made it sound as if she were giving in but damned if her own body wasn’t lighting up like a Christmas tree at his touch. She wanted him, despite how tired she was. She also couldn’t deny how well she slept after orgasm. She was doing this for the better sleep. It was what she told herself as she wriggled out of her shorts and kicked them away.
