MATTEO (book 2)

18. MATTEO⚡️

A Reign family dinner is something that happens rarely. Mom however, convinced us all to head down to the restaurant.

I'm running late. I drank last night and woke up late which just delayed my entire day. I run into the resturant, seeing them all sitting at the table.

"Why are you so late?" Dad asks.

"Got caught up." I take the empty seat beside Alessio. "What'd I miss?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to enjoy a meal with all my kids." Mom smiles. "How's your work going?"

I completely bullshitted Xena. I do not need a break, nor is the break for Delilah. Yeah, Delilah came home but I only needed a day off.

The week was so I could get drunk in private. She thought I was with my family, my family thought I was with her.

"Going good, think there's some victims at a local strip club, gonna check that out soon." I dig into the food.

"I like what you're doing Matty." Mom winks at me. I smile, letting her change the topic of the conversation.

Sometimes I forget how nice it is to just be around my family, laughing and talking. It's the one thing that can take the edge off that isn't alcohol.

"So, Matty." Dad clears his throat. "I have a girl asking about you. I know you don't want a relationship, but she doesn't either. Her brother runs the Chicago Juniors-"

"Mila?"

"Yes. She needs an heir. Her brother is infertile so she's the next best option to keep the family name in the gang."

"You want to give me my first grandchild, Matty?" Mom smiles.

"Not yet. Turn down Mila's offer." I'm far too gone for a child.

"Will do." He looks to my sister. "How about you? You found a guy yet?"

"She's still obsessed with Hamada's son." Romeo inputs.

"No I am not." She rolls her eyes. She definitely is.

"Don't lie to yourself, Ari." He mumbles.

She rolls her eyes again. "Just send everyone under 25 my way."

"All of them?" Dad looks shcoked.

"All of them."

He nods his head and we finish dinner as a family.

I decided I'm in the mood to annoy somebody, Xena pops into my mind. She's very easily irritated.

It'll give me the chance to see her again.

I like Xena. I like fucking Xena. I like how wet she gets for me. I like how she whimpers and how she clenched around me.

She's also good company, surprisingly, when she isn't opening her mouth. Though, her mouthy comebacks turn me on.

She isnt what I'm looking for though, she's hot, but she likes romance and pancakes with smiley fucking faces. She's independent, strong and knows exactly what she wants and how to get it.

She wouldn't like anything I had to offer, not even my dick, I've barely given her a tatse of what I would like to do to her, but for now, she's a little bit of fun.

Only for a couple more months.

I ride my motorbike down to where she stays. I go round the back and peer in through her window to see her alone, sleeping.

It would be evil of me to scare her considering this work she does.

I pick the lock in the door and walk in.
