ELIJAH

She looked at me calmly and peacefully while she slept on my chest. I feel complete and full of life finally having her just for myself. Alicia became my center of gravity and the only one who keeps me grounded.

Months ago, if someone had told me I would be in love with a woman, I would have laughed in their faces. But now I want to show off to the world the beauty I have now, the woman who will marry me, the one who will carry my child in her womb. I, Elijah Morgan, want to shout from the rooftops that I am in love.

My phone vibrates on the nightstand, I reach out and pick it up, the name Harold lights up on the screen.

"What's up?" It's the first thing I say.

"Mr. Morgan, Mr. Scott, Wex, and the Leinster gentlemen are waiting for you in your office."

Damn... I had forgotten I had a meeting with my colleagues today.

"Tell them I'm on my way."

I hang up the phone and look at Alicia, who now had her beautiful eyes open, a smile formed on my face and she mimicked me.

"Good morning, beautiful." I kiss her forehead. "How did you wake up?"

"A little sore, but now that I see you, I feel much better." Alicia leans up slightly and gives me a tender, light kiss on the cheek.

"Darling, if you keep doing that, we won't get out of bed all day." I hold her closer to my body. "And I have a meeting I can't postpone."

"Can't you stay a few more minutes?" Alicia pouts.

"Don't do this to me, darling." I'm weak against her and can't refuse, but if I didn't get out of bed quickly, Mike, Justin, Alec, and Nicholas would come up to find me, and I don't want any of them to see my wife. "I can't postpone this meeting, but I promise to make it up to you."

"Fine, fine, I'll let you go so you can go play with your friends."

I get out of bed and burst into laughter. I dress in the same clothes as yesterday under Alicia's watchful gaze. Seeing her lying in my bed, with her messy hair and her swollen red lips, makes me want to throw myself on top of her and make her mine again. I know I sound like a broken record, but having her makes me want to do all the ordinary things.

"Do you know what happened last night?" She asks, sitting up on the bed, letting the sheet covering her breasts fall, and immediately I felt my cock harden, but I couldn't get distracted.

"What happened?" I ask, swallowing hard and looking in another direction.

"Last night, you had vanilla sex."

It was true, last night I was so afraid of hurting her that I was the most careful and bland man in the world.

"Don't get used to it," I say, adjusting my tie. "We'll start having rough and hot sex soon."

"I can't wait to experience it," she says, biting her lip.

Like a lion wanting to hunt its prey, I crawl onto the bed and kneel at the same height as my Alicia, stretching my hand to rest on the other and pressing my lips to hers in a chaste kiss.

"I adore you," she murmurs. "You're a blank canvas that I intend to paint with many colors."

My gaze goes to her breasts, and instinctively I bend down to take one in my mouth to give her some tender licks and bites. Alicia takes advantage of that moment to place her hand on my head and press me even closer to her breast, and I hear her gasp.

"Please stay," she moans. "Make me yours again."

Who was I to deny anything to my girl?

I pick up my phone and dial Harold.

"Harold, tell those idiots to wait for me for 30 minutes and not dare to come up."

"As you command, sir."

"Now I'm all yours."

I throw myself onto the bed with Alicia again to have vanilla sex once more.

...

I go down to my office completely clean and freshly fucked, this time Alicia took the reins of the game and all I can think of is the movement of her tits bouncing on my face.

I open the door, catching the attention of my friends.

"Good morning, glad you waited," I say, sitting in my usual chair.

"Why did you take so long?" Alec asks with a snort.

"I know the reason," Mike says, wiggling his eyebrows up and down. "Because while you were in Italy, my boy fell in love with a beautiful and sweet woman."

"I can't believe this," Justin laughs. "This thing must not have feelings." He points at me, and I growl in response.

"Better shut your mouth and let's talk about why we're here today."

"That can wait a few minutes, tell us about that girl," Nicholas intervenes. "How did you meet her? How did she notice you? Do you have her kidnapped?"

"In fact, he did kidnap her," Mike adds. "The poor thing had to resort to my help."

"That's not okay, buddy," Justin shakes his head. "We should always respect girls' space."

"Ha, ha, ha, look who's talking, Mr. 'I don't take no for an answer,'" I intervene, already on edge. "My personal life is none of your business, now let's talk about the Greeks. Alec, your family leads the entire Italian clan. What have they planned regarding this?"

"The Greeks are using some crap drugs to market on the streets, displacing our sellers," Alec explains. "It's been discovered that the crap they're selling is fentanyl-based, it's a very strong drug that zombifies people."

The men in my office are my main partners, Alec and Nicholas Leinster are brothers, and our families have been friends for as long as I can remember. We have supported each other in many possible ways, and like me, they hate Michele.

The Leinster family has held the power of the Italian mafia in general in their hands for 100 years and they continue to carry the legacy with pride. In our favor, they have half of the New York police force and federal agents equally bought off. Our network of connections allows us to walk free like kings of the world thanks to the Leinster.

On the other hand, there's Justin Wex. Compared to us, he's not a mobster, in fact, I still don't know why he's our friend. But basically, he inherited his father's television empire. The company is called WEX Entertainment and it has one of the most-watched series and movies worldwide.

And Mike Scott, you already know him.

About two hours passed while we planned how to prevent the Greeks from continuing to market fentanyl when a small knock on the door caught our attention.

"Come in," I speak.

The door opens and Alicia appears with a beautiful floral dress, pushing a cart full of snacks. All the tension I had accumulated while talking to my colleagues dissipated when I saw her beautiful smile.

Regardless of my friends watching, I stamped my lips on hers, I was so needy to be by her side that I didn't even know I needed it.

"Hello, darling," I say in a low tone so my friends wouldn't hear, but it was useless because they just burst out laughing.

"Alicia!" Mike stands up from his seat and approaches Alicia to hug her, but I quickly pull her away from him. "Let me hug her."

"No, only I can do it," I retort.

"You should share, she's my friend too," Mike stamps his foot.

"Only in your dreams."

Alicia lets out a small laugh.

"Let me greet him, he deserves it for being a good friend." Alicia approaches Mike and gives him a strong hug.

"Ali, let me introduce you to my colleagues, they are the brothers Nicholas and Alec Leinster," I say as I point to the brothers. "And he is Justin Wex."

"Wex?" Alicia furrows her brow. "Where did the series 'I Give You My Handkerchief' come from?"

"Exactly," Justin replies.

"I loved that series! It's so cute and touching, when I was a teenager, I dreamed of having a love like that."

"And what damage did they do to you to end up with this idiot?" I shoot a fierce look at Justin, but he doesn't even flinch.

"Tastes change," she shrugs. "My man is manly, protective, affectionate, moody, possessive... I like everything about him."

Alicia's words just filled me with pride.

"Guys, I want you out of my house right now, my wife and I are going to have a long chat that you can't be part of," I say as I point to the office door.

"No, no, no, no, I took care of preparing snacks for the meeting, so you stay and eat it all," Alicia intervenes before my friends get up from their seats. "You keep working."

Alicia runs away from me and closes the office door.

"I like her," Alec says in his typical cold and humorless tone.
