Owning the Mafia Don

Proserpina

Lunch was a great affair. Lucien turned up late and so we waited for him. Schwartz arrived with Aiyana Laughing Water well on time. I welcomed them to my home joyously. I was thrilled for Schwartz.

Aiyana was a taciturn person, so Schwartz spent his time dominating the conversation. She had aquiline eyes and high cheekbones, with a wide mouth, unsmiling and alert. her long black hair had a natural sheen to it. Unlike most couples, there was no handholding and stolen kisses. Schwartz and his companion behaved as sedately as if they had known each other for centuries. But there was a warmth between them that made me smile in joy for Schwartz’s sake.

Handsome James looked like a man sublimely in love and I could not help ribbing him.

I noticed the curious looks the woman with the exotic features was giving me.

Lucien strode in after a while, gripping my chin as he kissed me hard on my mouth after he had entered. My heart skipped as I met his cold look: he was still furious with me. Dimpling at him, I wriggled away. As he made to grip me in his arms, I slipped away.

“We have guests, my Master.’ I whispered lightly, relishing the look of fury that flashed across his granite-like face.

Yes, he wanted me, sang my heart as I turned away, laughing and almost skipped out to the kitchen. I heard the low growl of voices as Lucien took his seat at the head of the table.

The twins shrieked with joy when they saw their Pappa’s gift.

My Mafia Don had chosen to gift the twins a pair of ponies that were currently housed on our new farmhouse. He had bought one close to Aiyana’s ranch, he had said once, earlier.

Now, glancing at Aiyana, he briefly tilted his head to acknowledge the presence of the woman.

The twins who had been dressed in their best, dashed around, leaping and shrieking, little Claude bumbling along. I had opted to wear a light summer dress, flared to hide my baby bump but sleeveless and demure. when I glanced at the mirror, I thought I looked younger than I was.

Now the twins were shrieking and Claude joined in, to show his solidarity.

The two of them were over the moon;

‘When can we go and bring them here, Mumma? ‘ cried Ria imploringly.

‘You need to ask your father,’ I said, smiling. Lucien had proved again how he would move the earth to keep his children happy. Particularly Ria.

I met my Master’s eyes and blushed as I saw the open hunger in his narrowed gaze.

I supervised the serving of the meal and then sat down at the other end of the table to eat. Schwartz was delighted, he attacked the seafood paella like a starving man; Lucien kept glaring at me between filling his plate with spaghetti pie and the paella but I knew he was enjoying the lunch. As for the children, they all but danced around to kiss me wetly!

Aiyana turned to me, a look of astonishment on her otherwise emotionless face.

‘Did you prepare all this?’ she asked me, incredulity in her beautiful deep voice.

I nodded, blushing slightly at the look on her face. She looked pole-axed.

Schwartz beamed at me and winked, like a teacher who was proud to show off the skills of his favorite pupil.

I dimpled at him and caught Lucien’s icy look.

The German chocolate cake was a hit too. The staff and of course, young Philippe and his brothers, turned up to clap and sing. They gifted Ria and Piers with a bouquet and it made me smile. To be fair to them, both Piers and Ria appreciated it.

As I moved to get the dessert, a simple caramel custard that I knew the kids loved, Lucien suddenly wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me onto his lap. He tugged at the thin chain with the small diamond key pendant that nestled between my full breasts, an unspoken symbol of my belonging to him. And ONLY him.

The deep neck of my dress revealed a hint of my chest but he pulled it down, dismissing my soft pleas unheedingly.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

‘The cook deserves a kiss.’ He growled and brought his hungry mouth on me, his hands roving all over me possessively.

I tried to stop myself from melting; finally succeeded in doing it too. But the look in Lucien’s eyes promised retribution as I stood up, the bulge in his trousers evidence of his mounting desire.

I smiled and blushed as I met Aiyana’s curious gaze. Schwartz was busy attacking the dessert and trying to spoon more into his plate. Laughing, I went across to help him.

“You truly outdid yourself, girl.’ He said, grinning up at me and I smiled. Aiyana’s eyes were on my dishevelled state;

Lucien! I thought in exasperation as I moved off.

Aiyana

She had been surprised to meet Proserpina

Younger than the grim and cold Boss by at least a score of years, this girl was a cheerful, pleasant person, with an earthy loveliness. Schwartz had hugged her and kissed her fondly and Aiyana sensed that he had loved her deeply; and still did too.

She had marveled at the copious amounts of food that had been served but were amazed to learn that Proserpina had done it all herself. Curiously, she studied the expression on the dreaded Lucien Delano’s face. He adored his wife, there was a constant look of intense hunger on his face. The man could barely keep his hands off her the entire evening, she thought, incredulously.

She shook her head. If they had not been there, he would have pushed her onto the table and had his way with her, she thought as she watched the don stare unblinkingly at his wife who was laughing with Schwartz at something the youngest child had done.

She was carrying twins; Aiyana would not be surprised if they expanded their family even further!
