Dangerous Desires (Minnelli Mafia Series Book 1)

The Right Direction

The newly reunited pair returned later in the week.

Zolan was excited to see his mother and father. Finally a true unit for him.

Swinging her legs from the patio, Wednesday thought long and hard. She really didn't want to go back to Michigan.

Zolan had completely adjusted to the house in the time they'd been gone. And he had integrated himself into the ever going battle between Phoenix and Apollo over Sunday and Nana Wednesday.

Feeling Cairo's presence behind her, she sighed, content.

"I don't wanna go back to Michigan." She looked up into his grey eyes, pleading.

She could hear her baby's gibberish with his cousins and she giggled. "Be nice Zo!"

"Okay. We can get a house here." He promised her. Wednesday nodded again, content and turned away from him back to the beach.

At dinner, Sunday was not pleased. "Do you have to move now?"

"Wouldn't went to overstay our welcome." Cairo went back and forth.

"Bullshit." Alex mumbled. "Stay until you get everything how y'all want it."

And just like that, it was settled. Cairo was only hoping that Alex wouldn't be on his side. He liked it here, being around his family. And Wynnie was happy. Zo was happy. So he had no choice but to be happy.

About six months later, Wynnie and Sunday were in her lab working on a new robot. The boys were confined in a play area with noise canceling headphones on.

Zo stood up on his legs and walked for the first time. Wednesday casually looked over.

He snatched the toy from Apollo and waddled away.

"He walked! He walked! My baby!" Wynnie was so excited.

Later in the day, all of the adults in the house sat down in front of different floor plans that Sunday and Alex had left over. The little people were asleep for a nap.

"I like floor plans 3, 5 and 7. And the owner's suite of plan 10 is dope." Wynnie pointed.

"Okay." Cairo spoke.

"Just okay?"

"I like what you like." He shrugged. "I just want a man cave."

Within a year, Wednesday and Cairo were married. Their house was built and they'd moved in.

"You really hid the fact that you were a Dangerous man from me." She places her hands on her hips.

"But only because I had a Desire for you." Cairo defends himself.

"I love you anyway."

"Not like you have a choice." He kisses her cheek.
