Mafia's Assassin

Chapter 21

"Okay .. soo.. you mean to tell me this .. Annie.."
"Anya "

"Right, right so .. she was suppose to be Nicos wife ?!" I lean against the kitchen counter sipping my coffee

"And she actually accused you of being second best .." I nod again "she's crazy !"

"You have no idea!" Giggling in response

"Please tell me you shut her down with a one liner" rolling her eyes to look out the window and then back to me when I don't respond

"You did ! Didn't you ?!" I just shrug smirking into my hot beverage

"And how did Mr Giovarni handle it all ?" Raising a brow at me

"Well as always" rolling my eyes to her

"Ummhm and the erm dishevelled look of bed hair with loose clothing was from .." my jaw hits the floor as I look at her

"Oh don't give me that! I see and hear all"

"Mary !" I start chasing her round the kitchen isle while she wets her fingers to flick water at me as we squeal and giggle

"Please tell me I can get in on this .." our eyes look to the two men clouding the door frame. Angelos arms folded while he winks at Mary who blushes instantly and Nico ..

He leans against the door frame a hand in his pocket as his straight hair slightly frames his eyes. Eyes that drink in my smile, wetting his lips

"Amore"
"Nico .." passes my lips with a breath and the tension builds immediately

"What were you two giggling about anyways" Angelo walks to Mary, tucking a strand behind her ear.

"Oh nothing much, Emilie was just telling me how she had such a joyous ride home last night .." winking at me while I mouth 'I'm gonna kill you' to her laugh

"Is that so.." Nico pushes from the door frame strolling towards me and I find my heart hammering in my chest. His fingers collect a single water droplet in my soft curls

"una tale bellezza come prima cosa in una mattina" (such a beauty first thing in a morning)

"hmm allora forse dovresti stare a letto più a lungo" (hmm then maybe you should stay in bed longer) sauntering out of reach as Nico smirks a crooked smile and Angelo chuckles to Mary's confused face.

"Tea ?" Nico nods as Angelo pulls Mary from the room by the ties of her apron

"I'm not finished talking Angelo .."
"Shh" then the sounds of giggles as they disappear from view

"A joyous ride hmm, is that what passes as good sex these days"

"Nico !" I try to flick at him with the towel but he catches the end pulling me along with the fabric. His hand now around my waist, my back pushed to the counter as his body presses to mine

"Mm how I love the different ways you can say my name ..." his eyes searching into mine and I find myself blushing even though I know we are alone.

"Do I make you blush amore ?" His hand brushing down my coloured cheeks

"In more ways then one.." he chuckles as his lips come to my ear

"Good" my bottom lands on the top where he places me, his groin pressed to my warm embrace as his lips leave feather kisses down my neck, an involuntary moan leaving my lips

"Nico.." he moans to my voice as his hands grip hard at my behind thrusting me against him. My hands move from his shoulders into the thick of his hair. I pull his hair so our eyes can meet

"Take me, make me yours" his eyes immediately respond with his hunger, the skirt of my dress lifted as I undo his zipper, panties pushed aside as we combine as one.

*************
"Aren't I glad I was late to this party" Luka walks into the kitchen with his hand covering his eyes, while I finish Rearranging my skirt and Nico tucks back in his shirt.

"Hope your gonna clean that before lunch .." head tilted to the counter as I throw the towel at his head, Nico laughs with a playful wink in my direction

"He has a point .." my mouth falls open for the second time this morning

"Out!" Pointing at the door. They both laugh some more as they begin to playfully shove at each other as they leave. Smiling to myself I begin to clean the top, headphones on until arms wrap around my torso alarming me. The fingers knock the headphones round my neck

"Thanks for the joyous ride baby" laughing hard I swat at his arms as his laughter fills my ears and then his lips cover my cheek and temple in light tender kisses

"Am I mistaken or did I ask you to leave ?" Raising a brow at him

"Ci Amore" he buries his head into my neck leaving more playful kisses that tickle and leaves after patting my bum

"Fine arse Mrs Giovarni!"
"Nico !" I find myself blushing again in the empty room but my smile unmoving.

Walking to the lounge Tanika sits with Andrea rolling on the floor

"Morning"
"Hey" my eyes catch a flash along the television screen,

breaking news

"Just in, we've had reports of a young woman's body found in an alleyway near a well established restaurant"

A picture fills the screen of a petite blonde and I find myself sinking to the arm of the chair

"She appears to go by the name of Tammy, last name yet to be known identification made by employee's present inside .."

"Do you know her ?" Tanikas voice fills my ears but I can't move my eyes from the screen

"Emilie .?"
"Get Nico" my eyes flicking to hers "now!" She runs from the room

"She leaves behind a son, identity to remain anonymous with regards to the on going case ..."

"Amore ?" Nico enters the room as I point to the TV

"Tammy, Valdemars side piece she's dead and her baby .. left behind .." our eyes connect

"We have to find him before it's to late" Nicos hands cover my shoulders as the orders begin

"Luka, Matteo find what you can on Tammy and find her boy. We don't want an innocent lost in all of this" I wrap my arms around his waist

"What have I done ?" My body heaves as my tears begin to be soaked into his shirt. His fingers try to leave comforting trails up and down my spine but it's no use. In my bitterness of wanting and willing to cause pain, I signed away the life of an innocent child. One that didn't ask for this.

I may as well have signed his death warrant myself.

He makes sixteen..
