Mafia Prisoner

Ch. 82 - Home

Vivian POV

I walked downstairs with a smile on my face. I was nervous to go to his room last night, but now I was glad I did. He held me all night, spoke honestly, and he was even playful. Niko was my beast yet I've only seen him kneel to my ever demand since I returned.

I knew in my heart I wanted to stay. My mind was still at odds with this decision though. I slowly opened my heart to him before and he ripped it wide open then stomped on it. Could he really change this much in such a short time? Could we make a real future together? I wasn't even sure what I wanted in my future anymore. Other than Amy, nothing in my life felt whole.

The table was full of life at breakfast this morning. Everyone was chatting and joking around. I found myself tearing a few times watching all my friends laughing as I did too. This felt right. Niko didn't engage in much conversation, but he listened and he wasn't bruting.

"Are you ready boss?" Paul asked as we finished eating. We sat there for over an hour and I wasn't even sure what time it was.

"Yes. Get the car ready." He ordered. I guess this was his trip to go kill someone. Could I really be a part of this life? I let out a sigh, grabbing his attention immediately.

"Leave!" He ordered everyone and they scurried out of the dining room.

"That was a bit harsh." I smiled at him.

"You seem upset." His cold eyes softened to mine.

"I don't know if I can get use to this nice and caring Niko." I teased.

"If you prefer me to order you around, I can do that for you." His hand reached out, pulling my waist to his.

I bit my lip unable to speak.

"Are you upset with me?" he asked softly, letting all the playfulness fall away. His hand loosened on my waist, making my insides squeeze in disappointment.

I shook my head no then my hands reached up to his shoulders. "Kiss me goodbye or I will be upset."

Niko's small lips curved upward as he leaned down to my height. "I wouldn't want to upset you." He whispered then his lips were on mine.

I melted instantly to him, letting his mouth guide mine. At first it was sweet, just a silent slow dance between our lips. Then I felt his hand squeeze my waist as he crushed me against his body.

His large hand slid to my ass, squeezing aggressively and causing me to gasp in surprise, which he then moved his tongue straight inside my mouth. He hungrily caressed every inch of my mouth, becoming more starved than I ever felt him before. "Are you frustrated, kitten?" He practically grunted out, never breaking his lips from mine.

"Always. I want you." I whined, leaning slightly backwards as his mouth devoured everything I had to offer. I really did want him, all of him.

"Fuck Viv! I have to leave." He whispered under his breath. I panted heavily, sucking in much needed oxygen and unable to control the giddy smile on my face.

"That was a preview of what waits for you at home."

"I'll be back tomorrow the latest." He stole another kiss then walked out. I watched him walk away and I knew what I wanted.

"Do you love him Aunt V?" Amy questioned, wrapping her hand in mine.

"I think I might, munchkin." I answered, still looking at the door he had already left through.

"Are we going to stay then? I would like to have a little cousin." She smiled up to me. I was definitely caught off guard with that request.

"Would you be ok with staying?"

"Yes! Can Zander come over?" Her smile got even brighter. God she was almost nine and already crushing on a boy. What was I going to do with her as a teenager?

I giggled at her eagerness. "I'll ask Marie about calling his mother to arrange a play date. How about we head out back for a little bit? If we are going to stay, we can't let that garden continue on the way it is. Aunt Kathy will haunt us from her grave."

"Agreed. Once it's all setup we should invite her over for some tea." Amy walked beside me as we headed to the garden. I wasn't sure if my aunt would want to come back here, but I could ask her. Maybe she would want to see Amy again. Those two did seem to bond over the last month at her house.

"Wow! We have our work cut out for us. Gio grab a shovel!" I ordered him. "You too Mario!"

They both sighed in disappointment. If they were going to be my guards then they better get used to gardening.

We spent four hours weeding and digging out the dead plants. Once we started getting to work other men grabbed shovels or gloves and chipped in. I turned these hardened men into my personal gardeners and was loving it. No one spoke against me or argued. Most seemed to enjoy spending time out here too.

"Thank you, boys! We have a good start here. I appreciate all the help. Tomorrow, we plant the flowers." I smiled big at them noticing the few whines, mostly from Gio and Mario.

"Oh, my dear. You have practically gutted this field." Marie looked around surprised at the yards of dirt we now stood in.

"We have. Thankfully all these men helped me out. Do you think we could order flowers to be delivered tomorrow?" I asked her hopeful.

"With the Capo's money and title, we can have a pool here tomorrow morning." She gave me a wink. "Oh, the boss asked me to give you this." She handed me a cell phone... my cell phone. "He said all your belongings are in his spare room downstairs. He wanted to make sure you had everything you needed." She gave me a smitten look. Oh god, she would have a heart attack if I decided to stay. I don't know why but she always wanted the two of us together.

I turned on my phone and instantly a picture of Tommy and me appeared. I forgot that was my screen saver. I took a second looking over how happy we seemed. Back then I wanted to be a doctor and he wanted to be a lawyer. I never once thought he was in line to become the next Capo or that my parents were once Mafia.

A ding rang out from an unknown contact. I opened my phone with a smile.

Beast: I'm sorry I took your phone.

I loved that he saved himself as Beast, even though that meant he went through my phone.

Me: Thank you.

He responded before I could put my phone away.

Beast: is everything ok at home?

Me: perfect. I have a surprise for you.

Me: actually, it's more for me than you but since you're paying for it we should pretend it's for you.

Beast: I can't wait! If it is tight and black, I would like a preview.

My mouth dropped open. This man!

Me: it's many colors and not attached to my body. If you're good maybe I'll buy something more to your desires.

Beast: I will be a fucking saint then.

I giggled at his words. I was not expecting that response from him. Although, he might be torturing a man to death as we speak. He would always be a far cry from a saint, but he was mine.

"Ms. V!" Marie called out. I jumped, nearly dropping my phone.

"What? Hmm." She was saying something and I totally zoned out on my phone.

"I said Zander's mother responded. She said she could bring him over after school tomorrow."

"Ooooo perfect." I squealed. I didn't think I could be this happy over a play date. "Did you hear that, Amy?"

"Yes! I need to shower." She looked at the dirt covering her clothes and began walking into the house. Oh geez, this was going to be a bumpy ride with her.

"We better find the perfect outfit for the princess." I whispered to Marie. Her eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"Does little Amy have her first crush?"

"I think so. Not sure how to feel about that so we are just going with it."

"Of course!" Marie clapped her hands together. God, that woman liked watching everyone's love life too much.
