There's One In Every Family - Or Two.

Hey guys, sorry for the late chapter. It was supposed to be published this morning so I can get started on the next one, but I was held back. Anyway here it is. Hope you enjoy it.

"Rise and shine my love."

I opened my eyes to the sound of my husband's morning voice and the sensation of his lips grazing my neck. Turning over on my back I peeked at him through my lashes. "Is it morning already?"
"Yes sweetheart, it is. Time to get up and get ready for school."

I yawned and reached up to caress his face. "Can we stay in bed a little longer? Maybe cuddle for a bit?"

With a light chuckle he kissed me on my forehead before getting out of bed, slipping on a pair of boxers and going to the bathroom for his morning shave. Reluctantly, I eased myself out of my warm bed and walked to the closet in search of something to wear.

After much deliberation, I decided to go with a pair of ripped jeans and a knotted turtleneck sweater. Setting my clothes down, I went to shower and brush my teeth.

Walking past Valentino I stepped inside the cubicle and turned the water on hot.

"Try to get home as early as you can alright? Our guests will be arriving at six so we can have a chance to get acquainted. Then we'll have dinner and spend the evening discussing the prospective alliance," Valentino told me after a few minutes had passed.

Rinsing the suds off my neck and shoulders with the shower attachment I shut off the water and wrap my towel around myself. With my body dripping wet I open the door and step onto the bathroom mat.

"Who else will be involved in this discussion? The entire family? Or just a selective few?"

"The dinner will take place in the dining room, the meeting in the library. It shall be a private affair with just Father, Damen, Sabrina, you, me, the Don of the family and his wife."

I nodded and walked up to the sink to brush my teeth while Valentino had his turn in the shower.

After brushing my teeth, I returned to the bedroom to finish getting ready.

By the time I finished my makeup, Valentino had emerged from the bathroom and was selecting his own clothes. Once we were both ready, I grabbed my school bag and the keys to Valentino's BMW before following him downstairs.

By the time we arrived downstairs, the maids had already laid breakfast out on the table.

With the exception of Alex and Nadia - who was ever the same with her constant drinking and smoking - the entire family was here.

Like every Monday morning, Ryan and Rachel were complaining and making all sorts of excuses to avoid going to school. I couldn't blame them. I don't think there's a single person in this world who liked Mondays.

"Well this is strange," Felix remarked as he caught sight of Valentino and I. "Very strange indeed."

"What do you mean?" I asked confusedly.

"On most mornings you and Tino stay in bed cuddling, kissing and making love for at least an hour before coming down for breakfast. What's the matter? Run out of stamina?"

"Give me a break. Just because we like to indulge in morning sex doesn't mean we do it everyday."

"That's a relief. Andrès needs his rest and he can't very well do that when you guys are constantly banging the headboards," Riley pointed out. "Especially since his room is the closest to yours."
