His Seduction

Chapter 40.

As mother and son gazed at each other having a mental conversation Riley immersed himself into smoothing the imaginary wrinkles on his oversized orange hoodie.

He briefly wondered if the outfut he wore was even appropriate to meet his lover's mother for the first time, and he still hadn't gotten over the fact that Nikolai introduced him as his boyfriend.

Though that was indeed what they were.

"Riley is it?"
Her accent was thick and because of this she spoke slowly and clearly.

"Y-yes Mrs. Cirillo. It's very nice to meet you"

"Is it? You seem just about ready to shit yourself where you stand"

"I'm f-fine"

He cursed himself mentally for stuttering again. Nikolai's hand tightened around the younger's waist offering the comfort he so desperately needed.

"What are your intentions for my son?"

"Excuse me?"

"Do you plan on getting married? What about having kids? Nikolai is almost 35 years old he doesn't have time for childish games, it's about time he settled down and if you aren't serious about him then you should just leave now"

A surge of anger rushed into Riley and without even realizing his back had straightened and his nervous gaze turned into a determined glare.

"I'm not playing games Mrs. Cirillo, you're son is the only person besides a small section of my family who has ever made me feel loved and accepted for who I am and I could not imagine my life without him.

In just over a month he has managed to make me fall head over heels for him and I want nothing more that to marry him, and raise kids and spend the rest of my life making him just as happy as he has made me"

They gazed at each other for a while longer, neither backing down to show their conviction and eventually a wide smile broke out unto Mrs. Cirillo's face.

"Well, why didn't you say so? Come on in everyone's here"

She grabbed Riley by the arm pulling him into her side and together they walked to the kitchen.

The younger was stunned, but not as much as the man he left outside.

Nikolai hadn't expected Riley to say those words, in fact he thought his mother had gone too far. But the response given was enough to bring a smile to his face and have his chest swelling with pride and love.

Shaking his head he collected the bags from his driver and took them inside with him, closing the door with his hip.

The smile that was on his face dropped upon hearing numerous voices coming from his kitchen.

Following the sound he found his brother, his mother, his father and amongst them was little Riley on the verge of collapsing from all the attention he was receiving.

Nikolai left the bags by the door and went to rescue his baby.

"Guys, you're scaring him"
The large man grumbled pulling the smaller into his arms instantly calming him.

"We're just trying to get to know him Nik"

"Well can you do it one at a time and from a safe distance?"

Ariston Cirillo furrowed his thick brows as he glared at his son, before bellowing in a gruff voice.

"How dare you try to keep my son-in-law away from me, do you know how long I've been waiting for you to bring someone home? I thought you would end up dying alone"
