Affirmation (25 page)

“Sí!”

Giuseppe patted the man’s shoulder
.
“Good boy.”

He entered the house and the pit-bull barked and wagged its little tail. It was growing, however
it was
still too small to intimidate.
A month and it remained a runt. His infant son on the other-hand had grown bigger quicker.

He bent down and picked the dog up with one hand and it stopped barking
.
“Gee, you are nothing like me. When I bark, I bite!”

“Geo are you hungry?” Shanda shouted from the kitchen.

He put the dog on the floor
.
“Si donna!” He walked to the kitchen and occupied a seat to watch Shanda prepare a recipe made famous by his mother. The daughter of the polizei proved to have talent in the kitchen. She bounced around singing and licking her fingers as she tasted the sauce. She had him taste as well and he nodded
.
“Buono.”

When she smiled, he stood and took the spoon out of her hand and sat it on the counter. It was certain to have a tomato stain. “We have a few hours before my mother returns the bambino.
Do you know what it is I want?”

“To stick your dick in my hole?”

“To kiss,” his mouth sought her neck, “to caress,” his hand slid up the hem of her dress, “and to make love to the sexy mother of our son.”

“I don’t know. First you have to get on your knees.”

“Hum?”

“Kneel boy.”

Giuseppe’s eyes twinkled
as he began to genuflect
, “And what will you do
when you have me on my knees bella
?”

“Nothing I just wanted to see if you’d obey.” Shanda laughed.

He
rose and gripped her waist and tossed
her over his shoulder. She giggled as he firmly spanked her ass. “Bad donna, now you pay
. I’ve waited to punish you for some time. The big fat belly saved you and then you were sick, but now none of those apply
!”

“Ummm, sounds delicious
. Make me pay big boy.”

G
iuseppe howled and Gee copied.
“Your punishment for being naughty may cause you to run naked out of
our
home.”

“Oh Geo, you have yet to learn.
I stopped running the minute you caught me.”

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

Selange wanted to keep the orb lights.
She said she loved to watch the gold circles on the lawn.
Alfonzo did, too.
It was after midnight when he arrived home and after a long day of travel and unpleasant business, it was great to be home. He spotted her outside on the lounge chair staring up and he sat down his briefcase and suit jacket on the sofa and joined her. “How long have you been out here?”

“Not long. I couldn’t sleep.”

He sat in an empty chaise, “Why not?”

“I was thinking about you and about me and our kids.”

“What were you thinking babe?”

“How there will always be people who will judge them based on who we are. Why are innocent children the victims of hateful adults?”

Alfonzo pat his leg, “Come here beautiful,
and tell
me what happened.”

“
I did something bad today.”

Alfonzo put his arms around his head on her arm, “Tell me chica, what did you do?”

“I had to deal with a terrible person.”

“Maybe, you should have let me handle it.”

“No, the message was to me and I handled it Diaz style.”

He chuckled, “I hope you stopped any future mail.”

‘I sure did.”

Alfonzo held her tight and breathed. He wanted to tell her she wouldn’t see Lou around anymore, but he’d wait until she asked. They were both making do with what they were given.
The thought of anyone threatening to harm a hair on her head infuriated him. No one would get close enough to do that.
Danger came
with the life
-
style
. He had men in place to keep his family safe because he wasn’t playing around. Everything and anything security were in place to ensure a protective barrier kept the
harm away from those he loved.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, “How was your day my
K
ing?”

The laugh was needed
and he reclined with a lightness he hadn’t
felt the entire
day. “Your K
ing could use a Queen in his bed, are you down?”

“I’m down for anything. Lead the way.”

She jumped to her feet and he slapped her on the ass, “You may have to lead, this King isn’t as perky.”

Her feet were moving and he shook his head, “Damn babe. You must have run marathons in another life.” He thought about his brother and laughed even harder. Giuseppe was a trip. He picked on Selange so much over the years, but when it came down to it, he loved her like a sister. He treated Amelda the same way. Yeah, he was glad he had Giuseppe as a brother and Nico. They were going to need to ban together again. He killed Lou quick
. He could’ve let Nico torture him, but Lou was old school. The man wasn’t going to give up shit.

Selange was inside the bedroom, stripped and diving on the bed with her ass to the air. She rolled on her back as Alfonzo shut the door and whispered seductively, “Are you hungry, did you eat?”

“I’m starving babe, I need some honey.
” He wanted to say more.

I need your honey to cling to me and not this blood on my hands.
