Comfort Zone

Chapter 41

Andrew Fucking Russell 

"You have got to be fucking kidding me," Joshua said, standing from his seat. He turned, looking at Max, "Find him."

Max nodded, immediately leaving the room. 

Turning back to Grayson, Joshua squatted in front of him, "I can't decide if I want to kill you or not? You obviously don't have a backbone with how easily you gave up Russell. But I am pretty sure I can get something else from you. Take him back to the cells." 

Joshua stood up and walked out the door, leaving his men to  deal with Jenkins. 

As he drove home, Joshua reflected on the series of events that had taken place over the past almost 12 months. The amount of chaos that has arisen in such a short period of time.  He just wanted to enjoy the time he had with his girlfriend and son, but it seemed like fate was putting even obstacle in the way of that. His mom mom's comments regarding Amara and his race were most definitely something he was not going to tolerate, seeing as he could see himself spending the rest of his life with her. He didn't want two of the most important women in his life always feeling uncomfortable around each other. He had already taken care of the pezzo di merda  that had assaulted Amara, and hopefully once he dealt with Russell and Jenkins, that would solve their remaining problems. 

He pulled into the garage, sighing as he stepped out of the car and into the house. He could hear the television playing Transformers in the living room, making his lips twitch into a smile.

When he stepped into the living room, he spotted Luca asleep on the couch, surrounded by a mountain of blankets. He leaned down, running his fingers through Luca's hair.

"I love you so much." He whispered, placing a kiss on his forehead. Looking around, Joshua realized that Amara wasn't in the room. He walked into the kitchen to find it also empty. His heart started to beat a little faster, as an anxious feeling overtook him. His thoughts immediately taking a turn for the worst as the idea that someone had broke in and taken Amara set in. He was checking the guest bathroom when he heard rustling down the hall, in his bedroom. He reached under the sink, grabbing the gun he had hidden there. 

He crept down the hallway, not sure of what he would find. His mind wanted to believe that it was just Amara doing something, but he could never be too careful. He approached the door, carefully and quietly twisting the knob. 

Pushing the door open with the gun, he stepped in seeing that the bedroom itself was empty, but there was sound coming from the closet. He crossed the bedroom floor, and peeked into the closet, seeing Amara standing there pulling one of his shirts over her head. 

Joshua sighed in relief, tucking the fun into the back of his pants. He slid into the closet and behind Amara, who was still focused on putting the shirt on, wrapping his arms around her waist.

Amara screamed, throwing her elbow back to try to hit Joshua in the head, but he caught her arm before she could make contact.

"Babe, relax," He laughed, "It's just me." 

Amara turned around, a glare on her face, "You can't walk up on me like that, unless you wanna get knocked out."

"Yeah, yeah. Give me some lovin' girl." He pulled her into his, placing a deep kiss on her lips. Amara smiled against his lips, wrapping her arms around his neck.

She smiled and pecked his lips again as she pulled away.

"How did things go? What happened?" She asked leaning back so she could look at his whole face.

His face tensed at the topic, "Apparently your friend Andrew has been wanting to keep tabs on you."

"Drew? What do you mean?" Her brows furrowed in confusion.

"He hired Jenkins to follow you around. What for? I don't know yet, but I have guys out looking for him as we speak." Joshua reassured Amara, as he could see the frown overtaking her face.

"I wonder if it is because I didn't want to be with him. If so, jeez men are fragile. When you find him, let me know. I have some questions I want to ask myself." 

" Of course, love. Whatever you want." 

"I could think of a few things I want right now." Amara smirked, running her fingers through his hair. 

Joshua grinned, his hands wandering down to Amara's ass as he picked her up. Her legs wrapped around his waist, as their lips connected again. He walked out to the bed, tossing her on it. She giggled as he crawled on top of her, his lips attaching to her neck. She moaned, wrapping her legs around his waist and her fingers, once again, found themselves in his hair. 

His hand wandered down to the bottom of her shirt, pulling back so he could pull it off. His lips wrapped around her nipples as another moan escaped hers. His mouth left her breasts as he started to trail kisses down her stomach, stopping at the top of her pants. He looked up at her, his eyes connecting with hers, asking for permission to continue. When she nodded, he started pulling down her pants.

"Mama!" 

Joshua groaned, dropping his head again Amara's stomach. Amara started laughing at Joshua's obvious disappointment 

"Mama!" Luca yelled out again, sounding a bit distressed. 

"Yes, baby?" Amara yelled back, grabbing her shirt from next to her, pulling it back over her head.

"Where are you?" He yelled.

"Upstairs, in my room." She responded. Sitting up, pushing Joshua's head. He groaned, not wanting to let go. 

The sound of Luca's bare feet slapping the floor could be heard as he approached the door.

He knocked before sticking his head into the room. 

"Papa!" Luca yelled before running and jumping on the bed.

"Hi baby." Joshua finally sat up, grabbing Luca and pulling him into his arms.

"I missed you." Luca wrapped his arms around his dad's neck, nestling his face in his neck. 

"I missed you too. Did you have fun with mama today?" Joshua asked.

"Mhm, I love hanging out with mama." Luca reached his arm out to Amara, who grabbed his hand.

"Okay, I have to go shower. You can lay down with mama until I come back." He placed Luca down on the bed as he stood. Luca crawled over to Amara, wrapping his arms around her neck.

They both laid down as Amara turned on a movie for background noise. When Joshua returned from his shower, Luca was asleep again and Amara's eyes were dragging down as she fought her sleep. 

Joshua crawled into the bed, draping his arm over Amara's waist and his hand laid out on Luca's back. He placed a kiss on her head before closing his eyes, sighing as he body relaxed.

Hopefully things would be over soon, so he could enjoy more moments like these.
