Sold To the Grizzly Don (Alcee and Bruno) novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69

Alcee was on edge. Brunella, Cicciu and Lorita were all gone to bed. Antero was long asleep with Avalanche at the end of her bed, a set of stairs, on which both dog and boy practiced multiple times, in place. Torg took Avalanche for one last pee a few minutes ago and now he was in his office with Tito, Bastiano and Tank to review some security information and the attempted hit on Brunella and Cicciu.

All evening long, from the time they’d ended the smoking hot kiss in her closet, Torq kept her on edge. He’d held her hand at dinner, never letting it go, his thumb making soft circles at the tender spot under her wrist. Torq insisted on doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen after Brunella, who tried to argue until Torq shoved a glass of wine in her hand, declared her done for the day and pushed her into her husband’s arms on the sofa. Alcee offered to help and the quiet movements around the kitchen as they tidied up kept her constantly aware of his size, his presence, and his steadfast approach to tackling the space. More than once his hand brushed her hair off her shoulder, or he pressed a sweet kiss to her cheek. When Alcee declared the kitchen up to her standard of cleanliness he’d whispered he’d love to make it dirty all over again with her right on the counter and her fiery blush was still on her cheeks when she joined the family for a final glass of wine for the night.

In the living room, where everyone was unwinding and speaking in hushed tones, she’d been curled up on Torq’s lap, his arms possessively around her. They watched as Antero brought a few of his stories from his room and asked if his Nanna would read to him, revealing he’d always wanted a grandmother to read him bedtime stories.

Alcee herself struggled to contain her tears as Brunella’s eyes filled with tears and her bottom lip trembled as she snuggled the boy against her and read him three stories until he was falling asleep against her bosom. When she looked at Torg he was watching his mother intently, clearly reliving some memories of his own childhood and enjoying the moment he was getting to see now.

She and Torg carried him to bed and put him to sleep and again, Alcee was ober aware of his presence. Strong and big, yet he moved with a lithe grace. He was fluid in his movements as they worked together to get Antero into his bed.

Then outside Antero’s bedroom, he’d pressed a hungry yet far too quick kiss to her lips and told her to say goodnight to everyone.

As she was doing exactly this, Tito received an update and the men all left to Torq’s office and now she was here, alone, desperately on edge and wishing he were helping her with her frustration.

Crawling into the bed she punched the pillow and ran her tongue over her minty teeth. She rolled to her side, her hands bunching under the pillow and found herself feeling nervous. Should she have put on something sexier than her pajama top and shorts? Was this why he sent her in ahead of him and he was hoping for skin slick with lotion, sexy lingerie, and a flashback to their first night when she’d actually gotten dolled up, waxed from end to end and make–up done to perfection? Her skin was smoother back then, not full of stretch marks and cellulite pockets. Was he hoping she’d be preparing herself for him while he finished with the men in the other room?

Her thoughts began to run to her changed body when the door pushed open and he came in, pausing to lock it behind him.

“Oh, good, you’re already in bed. Let me brush my teeth and clean up and be right there.” He was assured as he walked away.

“I’m just in my pis.”

The words tumbled from her lips, and she looked at the surprise on his face.

“Not for long.” he gave a shrug. “If you want to save me some time, you can take them off but otherwise, I’m going to enjoy uncovering what is

there.”

“But it’s nothing sexy.”

He cocked his head to one side, “I beg to differ. You’re in my bed. There isn’t anything which is sexier to me than that.” He ran his tongue over his lips, “if my mouth didn’t taste like I inhaled an entire bulb of garlic and chased it with a whole ass onion, I’d be in the bed already, but I’ve been dying to brush my teeth for over an hour. Give me a couple of minutes and I’m going to show you how fucking much I want you exactly as you are.” He grinned suddenly, “if you’re bored weighting and want to prime yourself up, I replaced the batteries in the toy you showed me last night. I might have added another one in there for you too.”

“You what?”

His laughter floated out to her as he closed himself into the bathroom and she dug around the nightstand, her curiosity nearly painful.

When she pulled out a black plastic bag tucked next to her trusty dildo and peeked into it she gave a gasp of surprise and then a loud giggle escaped her lips.

A little device with what looked like suction on the end made her curious and

Oh. This might be the best present anyone ever gave her.

She was still touching it to her hands with morbid curiosity, switching from speed and suction strength with a wide smile.

The door from the bathroom swung back open and he grinned, “yeah, I don’t think that’s where it goes.
