Matteo’s POV
I heard a roaring blaze, then the fire alarm blaring loudly in my ears. Ginevra had stabbed me in a bad place but I could leave with it.
“Let’s go, Aurora.” I said and she shook her head, horror glaring from her eyes.
“I don’t think we are going to make it. The house is on fire already and we can’t go through the front door.” She shrieked in fear while I brought her close to myself.
“Don’t be scared, baby. We will.” I assured her as I steered her through the living room which was messed up with blood and human flesh towards the emergency exit of the house which was connected to the safe room.
The window burst open with shards of glasses splattering all over the floor. Then Francesco chose that point to come inside with a man whose face was badly battered, his head bleeding heavily. “You’re still alive? I thought you could use the souvenir.” He joked, dumping him to the ground.
I rolled my eyes. “We need to get out of here, Maya is in danger of being killed.” I stated, trying to hide the fear in my voice.
“You don’t need to worry about that. Angelo already told me that he had rounded up Ginevra’s accomplices. What do I do with them?” He asked.
“Take them to the torture room, I want to know why they thought that they could harm my child and get away with it.” I said and resumed walking out slowly though I was filled with relief.
“And what about this man?”
“You can finish him off,” I shrugged.
“You owe me a lot, Capo.” He shouted from behind us then we heard a gunshot.
I hissed, knowing that he’d mess up that place further. I snatched the key to the safe room from my pocket and led Aurora in. She was quiet after I killed Ginevra and it bothered me a lot because I thought that she would be happy.
The knife was still in my stomach, and with each move I made I felt it go deeper but it didn’t scare me because I’d experienced worse cases than this and still survived.
When we got to the car which was right in front of the gate, Aurora stopped. “Don’t you think it’s risky to go to the hospital with a knife on your body and blood smeared on your shirt?”
My eyes were getting slightly dizzy as blood kept dripping from the stab.
She didn’t wait for me to respond then she collected the keys from me. “Don’t worry, I’ll drive.”
As soon as we settled into the car, I pulled her gently for a kiss. She was tense at first, then she relaxed, enjoying every minute our lips were merged together.
“I love you, Aurora, and I promise that no one will ever cause us such pain again.” I promised and she placed my palm under her jaw.
“I love you too, Matteo.”
************
Maya’s wails filled the house even though her mother just breastfed her. She was removed from the incubator two months ago as Doctor Luca assured us that she was fine without it.
Aurora and I who were downstairs, playing tic-tac-toe exchanged a knowing look between ourselves then rose to our feet immediately.
Maya always knew the right time to disrupt us from whatever fun thing we were doing. She sought our attention all the time with her angry shrieks and tiny wails, and fortunately, she always got it.
But I had something else in mind while climbing the stairs and watching Aurora’s firm ass which was covered by a short blue skirt that had gotten quite bigger after childbirth swayed wickedly. I wasn’t sure she did it on purpose to tease me but I would make her pay for giving me a hard on.
I pushed the door open and met Maya throwing a fit in her court. Her eyes were shut and fist clenched while she kicked into the air.
“It’s alright, baby, mama is here.” Aurora cooed, cradling Maya in her arms as she sang her a song.
My eyes were drawn to how beautiful she looked with Maya on her arms. Her eyes were filled with love, and her lips stretched in a smile as she sang and rocked her gently. My heart swelled with happiness because I knew that I was blessed.
Maya relaxed under the sound of her mother’s voice. Deciding not to be utterly useless, I caressed Maya’s forehead and immediately her lips curved into a beautiful smile. My mouth went dry as the sight almost brought tears from my eyes.
“I love you and Maya. You both are my world.” I stated, my voice laced with emotions.
Aurora took her eyes away from Maya and gazed at me. “And we are both lucky to have you in our lives. When I came here at first, I didn’t know how things would turn out for me. I might have been dead but I guess fate had better things in store for me.”
She glanced at Maya who had already fallen asleep, her chest rising and falling in a slow rhythm. She dropped her in the cot and straightened her legs then turned around to face me.
She shook her head with a giggle, “I know that look, Matteo.”
I decided to be straightforward with my feelings so I reached for her hands and held them, while peering at her. “I need you, Aurora. It’s being months.”
She giggled loudly, her body quavering with laughter. “Don’t exaggerate, Matteo. It’s barely three months.”
I didn’t respond, knowing that she would have a smart comeback for every word I said. So I did the unexpected and swept her off her feet, storming out of Maya’s room.
“What are you doing?” She shrieked, her hair bouncing wildly with each step I took.
I imagined how much wilder it could bounce while thrusting into her. I placed her on the bed and locked the door even though I knew that she wouldn’t escape.
“You didn’t have to do that. You’re acting like a horny dog right now…” She uttered, taking off her blouse which left her barely covered breasts exposed.
It was an enticing sight as her creamy cleavages allured me. She stood to her feet and approached me, while I remained rooted to my spot as I allowed her to humor me.
“Can you take this off for me?” She asked sweetly, turning around so that I could help with the hook of her push up bra.
It came undone in one snap then I whirled her around, her perky nipples staring at me. My lips watered and I felt my manhood rise in torturous anticipation. She bit her lips, her eyebrows furrowed. “Are you going to keep staring at me or will you do something about this delicious meal waiting to be eaten?” She flirted, which was the last straw that broke the camel’s back as I pounced on her like a hungry lion.
She spurred me on her with her soft moans with my hands trailing all the parts of her face; her ears, the smooth skin of her neck, her cheeks which felt hot at the contact of my palm.
We retreated towards the bed, my tongue searching for hers as I squeezed her ass a bit roughly while she moaned into my mouth. I’d missed her badly, and even though I was at the tipping point of losing my control, I still wanted to tease her and make her cry because of my touch.
I tore off her skirt which served as a barricade, then made her lie on the bed with her back propped against two pillows. She parted her thighs giving me access to her body. I caressed her pussy through her soaked panties while I worked on my belt.
“Arr… It’s… so… Arrgh. Matteo….” She cried, bobbing her head which caused her hair to fly wildly.
Her lips were parted and her eyes shut as my teeth pulled away her panties. She was bare, stark naked and ready for me to devour. I hadn’t done much but her slick juice dripped from her mounds and then she did something that almost sent me over the cliff.
Her fingers trailed around her wet cunt which soaked the tip of her nails. The sight excited me but then, I wanted to pleasure her myself so I took her hands away and turned her around, then made her lie with her back.
My dick would make her shiver and then she would lose control because of how wildly I would take her.
“Are you ready for what I’m about to do to you?” I smirked, my voice hoarse with excitement.
She nodded then I knelt behind her, guiding my manhood towards her wet hole. I’d have thrusted without hesitation but she was a keeper and the mother of our child so I couldn’t hurt her.
“Please…. Matteo….” She cried as my fingers worked through her mound feeling how tight she was.
I took it as a go ahead and plunged in slowly, enjoying the thrills that her tight mounds provided. I rocked her slowly as she arched her ass against my groin which caused a slapping sound that was like music to my ears.
Her breathing became rapid and mine too, causing my tempo to increase but in all I remained gentle. I lowered myself to her back and propped my elbow against the bed, slipping my fingers underneath her clit. She moaned again and I circled it faster while thrusting fast until she began to jerk in pleasure, her squirt covering my thighs.
As her jerks became slow, I felt my own release and with a final thrust I climaxed, shooting my seed inside of her. I rolled away from her and placed a kiss on her forehead while she smiled, her eyes closed as she let sleep embrace her.
She woke up some hours later, her eyes fluttering open in surprise. I couldn’t sleep as her beauty drove any form of tiredness from my body.
“How was your sleep?” I chuckled.
“You should know that, after all, you’ve been watching me all along.” She smiled, then yawned.
I produced a velvet box from the drawer and opened it. Her eyes widened and she shoved the covers away as she saw the diamond ring seated in the box. “Marry me, Aurora.”
