"Why didn't you tell me?" Marco's voice boomed with authority as Cay's body shook from his outburst. "I tried" she cried softly. "I was six weeks pregnant, when I found out. I tried coming by your home, everyday for a week, only to be told that y...
Marco had never felt closer to Cay than he did right now. Ever since she came back into his life, she had been with him completely and with everything she could give him. And now it was his turn to talk.
"My mother left us, passed away suddenly, when Jules was three, so Nono stepped in and helped my father by making sure we were taken care of while he ran the business.
It was an incredibly hard time for him, but he never complained and when he was home, Jules and I were his world and he was ours.
Early in the year of 2011, he was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, even though he never smoked a day in his life. The doctor's told him to get his affairs in order and told him he didn't have long.
My father was never one to leave ties unbound and had already changed over all the paperwork, putting me in charge of everything having to do with the family business.
I met all of his contacts and was well received by them because at the age of sixteen my father had started grooming me to take over one day.
As far as they were concerned, I'd earned their respect by upholding all of my father's principals, etc except the whole sleeping around thing.
I had that down to a science and I guess it was my way of dealing what was going on with my dad, it's no excuse, but I believe that's what I was doing.
Anyway, I went into my father's room exactly three weeks after he was diagnosed and found that he'd gone peacefully in his sleep and he never had to go through chemo, which he'd already told his doctors no to.
The board members of our businesses and Nono got together and thought it would make me look better if I quit my woman-chasing ways and settle down.
I had never in a million years expected to meet anyone, even though I told them I was actively looking and then I met the most beautiful girl, who coincidentally befriended my sister.
She was shy and blushed a lot, which I found that I loved. She was sweet and caring and very unselfish with her kindness and her heart.
Then she made me the happiest man in the world when she agreed to attend a party as my date and when she walked into my home, she was a vision in red.
She stole my heart that night on the balcony, when I watched her looking at the stars but when she kissed me, I knew she was meant for me.
Cay, I know it seemed like life dealt us an unfair hand and how we found our way back to each other is because of our son, but I want to make a promise to you, right here, that I will never leave your side.
I love you more than life, Mrs. DeLuca and when you agreed to marry me, was the day you captured my heart all over again. You're it for me, baby."
Marco leaned over and held Cay's head back so he could place a steamy kiss on her neck, symbolizing the sealing of their union as husband and wife.

"I love you Marco" she whispered as his mouth placed more kisses on her bared neck. "And I you" he responded.
"Are you hungry yet, tesoro? It's been four hours since breakfast" he asked. "I don't know if I'm ready for a full blown meal, but I wouldn't mind a snack and some juice or flavored water" she responded.
Marco got up from his seat and made his way to the galley and was met by the head flight attendant. She had been with him a long time and their relationship was nothing more than a true friendship.
"Mr. DeLuca, what may I get you sir?" Marnie asked professionally. "Thank you Marnie. I was wondering what you have in the way of snacks? Mrs. DeLuca is hungry but not for anything heavy just yet" Marco answered.
"Very good. We have a tasty antipasto cup, fresh pineapple, strawberries and apple slices. We have yogurt cups and a meat and cheese platter" Marnie rattled off.
"We'll take the fruit and the meat and cheese platter, also do you have flavored water?" He asked. She nodded and said they had mango and black cherry. "Very good. We'll have two mango waters please and thank you" Marco replied.
When Marco returned to his seat, he found that Cay had taken off her boots and had drawn her legs up under her and closed her eyes.
He took a moment to study his gorgeous wife as she sat there, completely innocent and trusting and he would always fight to keep her that way.
"I love when you look at me, baby" she said, her eyes still closed. Leaning over, Marco kissed her on the cheek, inhaling her feminine scent.
"It's because you have drawn me in with your spell. I'm helpless around you Cay. I would do anything you ask of me and more" he whispered.
"All I ask is that you stay safe and love me and our children. That is enough for me, always" she whispered back as he got lost in her steel gray eyes.
Marnie came with their food and was the epitome of class, professionalism and service as she sat everything up for them.
"Cay, this is Marnie. She has worked for me for a long time. Marnie, my wife Cay" Marco said, introducing the two woman.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Mrs. DeLuca" she said with a genuine smile. Cay held out her hand and said "Please, call me Cay and I'm very happy to meet you as well."
"Please, let me know what else you might need during the rest of the flight. Dinner will be served in two hours and the meat selection is roast beef or grilled rosemary and garlic pork tenderloin. The sides are skin-on mashed potatoes with freshly sautéed green beans and dessert is coconut cream pie." She took the serving cart and coverings back to the galley, leaving the couple alone again.
"What did she mean by finally a pleasure to meet me?" Cay asked, popping a piece of pineapple in her mouth.
"After Stefano did what he did, I traveled a lot. I couldn't bear to stay home, in my bed without you and she was the flight attendant at my request.
I unloaded a lot on her and I talked a lot about you and it was her partner, Ginnifer, that convinced her to convince me to come home and basically pull my head out of my a*s" Marco answered truthfully.
Cay smiled sweetly at him and placed a strawberry to his lips, their eyes locked on one another as he bit into the juicy fruit and giving his wife the opportunity to kiss him immediately.
"Hmm" she hummed. "Your lips taste delectable, my darling" Cay told him and when their eyes met, his were blazing dark blue orbs, desire was all that was in them.
"When you have filled your belly, I'm going to take you to bed and fill your body with mine and I want to feel you clinch around me as you come" Marco's words made her shiver with anticipation of his body and what was to come.
