Dangerous Desires (Minnelli Mafia Series Book 1)

Sweetest Wishes

December
Sunday and Alex Minnelli Estate, Pearl River, Florida

Eden wiggled in her girdle one more time, smoothing the red dress of wrinkles. She fixed her lipstick one last time and walked out of the bedroom she got dressed in.

Zolan got the limo cool for her and she met him off the elevator with her Birkin bag. Slowly but surely she was getting accustomed to looking the part. Even slower but surely she was feeling the part of a Minnelli too.

He kissed her cheek as they pulled away. Eden was especially excited after learning that Phoenix had an intended. She was wondering about Zolan's favorite cousin.

"You smell so good...I'ma fuck you up later." Zo whispered in her ear as they walked up the stairs to the Estate where everybody was gathering that year.

"I wish you'd learn to be romantic." Eden fussed but turned red anyway.

"I can't baby girl..." he gripped her ass discreetly. E pushed his hand away just as Diane walked up.

"My, my, my...aren't you glowing." Diane observed immediately. The family room was blown to proportion by the Minnelli Family. All the newest generation had their intended or soon to be wife with them.

"I would hope so. This highlighter said I would be glowing." Eden missed her words. She was already feeling bloated after gaining so much weight over the last few weeks.

Diane just nodded and held the younger woman's hand to the other women.

"Nora!" E walked up to the two times mother. She was holding a baby boy.

"His name is Xander." She passes the two-month-old baby to E. A wave of emotion took over her, staring into his green eyes.

Suddenly, almost in dire need, baby Xander started screaming. His eyes bugged out of his head, face turning red instantly.

"Mhm..." Diane took the screaming baby from Eden and winked at her. E was shaken.

"I don't think I did anything..." she pleaded to her friend. Nora smiled at her.

"Xander doesn't like making new friends. Come on girl..."

"Where is he going?"

"To the nursery. We're about to get lit." Nora snapped her fingers in her bedazzled flats. Ivy giggled.

"Y'all about to get lit. I'm in the pregnant during the holidays club." She rubbed her belly tenderly. "I think it's another girl but don't tell Ant. We got a bet going." She giggled again.

"And it is a boy!" Ant defends his guess.

A few minutes later, a beautiful darker woman walked in with a baby. "Skye!" Nora called her over excitedly. With the little baby in tow, but Missy intercepted him from her before she makes it to the table with the younger women.

"My name is Eden...nice to meet you."

"I'm Skye. Forrest's mommy."

"And my WIFE!" Phoenix yells from across the room. Eden looked up in confusion. Ivy burst out laughing.

"Our person can hear us." She laughs a little harder, pulling Eden and Skye away from the room.

About an hour later, Diane came to get the girls so they can eat. E felt so tired, just sleepy for no reason.

"My favorite...uh, intended." Grandpop Aries pulls Eden into him. Nora squinted her eyes at him not so playfully. "Don't look at me like that Nora! You don't scare me."

"Mhm...sure." She sits next to her husband, Q.

Midway through dinner, Grandpop Aries is over the pleasantries and he needed answers from his grand boy. They've had plenty of time now.

Eden has let her guard down and is having a great time. Even starts to seriously think of wanting to be part of them one day when...

"Boy! Have you started on babies yet?" it's like a record had been snatched off the needle.

"Gotta get a mansion first Pop." Zo doesn't even look up from his plate. He's been waiting for the talk for years now. Again.

"Well what's the hold up?" Aries is adamant.

"We taking our time." He defends Eden.

"Taking yo time?" Aries repeats. (If you know, you know.) "Boy if you don't get me a grandbaby up in here."

Eden had had enough. She takes a sip of water, gags a little and smirks without a word.

"Some things will be discussed at a later date, but I thank you for your concern, Grandpop." She smiles lightly.

A whiff caught her senses and Eden stands up unexpectedly.

Running to the bathroom, the room is silent again. Zo goes after her to hold her hair up.

Vomiting over and over again.

"You pregnant." That wasn't a question but a statement.

"Merry Christmas, my love." Eden wipes her mouth with a tissue in their bathroom. Then she brushes her teeth.

Suddenly, Zo snatches her up in his arms, kissing all over her.

"I was gonna wait but strip guh!" he yelled excitedly. But deciding she was taking too long, Zolan stripped her for himself to devour her. His own little baby...Zolan couldn't wait to be a father.

Almost immediately, the newest Minnelli baby showed.
