The Mirage

Ch. 13 "Mommy and daddy"

"Nico!!!" Luca screamed running down the stairs.

"Hey big guy! What's up?"

"Look at this." Luca held up a paper with colored crayons making out people. The kid was good at drawing for his age and he likes it. Maybe it would be his hidden talent Gemma always thought. "That's you and mommy!"

"Where are you?"

"It's about how mommy likes you!"

"Mommy likes me?" Luca nodded as Nico looked to Gemma who acted like she didn't hear the conversation. Gemma liked how Nico would take care of Luca and always tried to keep them safe. She wasn't thrilled with the idea of stopping work but it pleased Nico and it was the least she could do after all.

"I will finally have a dad!" Luca yelled taking back his picture.

"That's not how this works Luca." Gemma laughed trying to explain, instead she just walked away shaking her head.

"So what did Renzo want to do?" Gemma asked sitting in the chair across from Nico's desk.

"He wants us to go to an investors meeting. He wants us to find where Costa is investing and where he will be. He only wants you to go so we will look like a normal couple."

"Couple?"

"Yeah. Your my date." Nico smirked devilishly waiting to see her reply.

"Why don't I get a say in being the date?" She faked being mad.

"Because mommy likes me, remember?"

"Hey don't you put those words on me! I did not say that."

"You don't want daddy?"

"Oh my gosh! You have a weird little daddy kink? Who are you!" Gemma was balling, tears spilling out of her eyes while laughing. She didn't notice Nico stand and walk over to her. He grabbed her pinning her wrist against the wall as her laugh settled.

"I would not laugh at daddy baby girl. You may get punished." Gemma's chest rising and falling nervous with the hit breath against her neck. She had never been put in her place by a man and she kinda liked it. She was too busy protecting herself in high school to mess with boys so all of her feelings towards Nico were new.

Nico's lips touched her jaw and she shuttered with delight at the feeling. He left soft kisses down her neck to the exposed collar bone. He sucked on the skin causing a shaky breath from Gemma's mouth. She instinctively wrapped her legs around his hips and surprised herself by doing so. Nico lifted her from the wall and sat down with her straddling his lap. She noticed a bulge the pressed on her thigh when a phone rang. A sigh came from Nico's mouth and she left the room so he could answer the phone.
