Carlo
The hinges creaked as I pushed open the door to Mia’s room. We’d been playing this game for two months now and I was over it. Even though we tried to act normal in front of the others I think they were starting to catch on. Elena knew what was going on, she didn’t come right out and say it but the sidelong looks she gave us spoke volumes.
I understood Mia’s hesitation, I had my own concerns. Hell, I thought about it every day, but I was sick of hiding. I knew from the first moment my lips touched hers that what we had was different than anything I’d ever felt before. I wasn’t going to let her go so we were going to have to figure out a way to make it work. I was more afraid of losing her than I was of showing weakness and that realization scared the ever living shit out of me.
She wasn’t in the bedroom but I heard the water running in the bathroom so I headed that way. We were going to figure this out tonight, she would fight it but I was ready for that, Mia never gave in easily. I stopped, leaning against the doorframe and took her in. She stood in front of the mirror washing her face in nothing but her bra and panties. Mia didn’t wear much makeup normally, only getting done up when we went out or if she went into the office in the city. She didn’t need it, she was flawless just as she was. You don’t need to embellish perfection.
I was silent as I continued to watch her go through her nightly routine. I’d seen her do it before but there was something sensual about watching when she thought she was alone. Grabbing a bottle of lotion she sat on the edge of the Jacuzzi and began rubbing it into her long legs. When she was finished she stood up and walked back to the vanity, she still hadn’t spotted me. Reaching up she untied her long hair from the knot at the top of her head and let it fall down her back. She threaded her fingers through her hair and massaged her scalp and a soft moan tumbled from her lips.
I couldn’t take it anymore, I had to touch her. Moving into the room, I silently made my way behind her. This was my favorite spot in the world. Her back to my front, my arms wrapped around her. She gasped when I made contact and I smiled.
“Jesus, Carlo. You scared me!”
“Sorry.” I wasn’t sorry at all.
“That’s the second time you’ve snuck up on me today. What’s with all the lurking?”
“I was watching. I didn’t want to interrupt.”
“Because that’s not creepy at all.”
“I can’t help it, you fascinate me.” She went soft in my arms at my words. I loved it when she did that, it meant more than all the words in the world. It meant she trusted me. “Come on, I want to talk to you about something.”
“Uh, oh.”
“Relax, it’s not bad.” I said, guiding her into the bedroom. Once we were settled in bed, me on my back and her curled up at my side, I took a deep breath and started to outline my case. “I know you wanted to wait to tell everyone, but they’re already growing suspicious and Elena definitely knows something is up.”
She groaned, “Carlo-”
“No, hear me out. I know you’re worried about the men not respecting you but you’ve proven yourself time and time again. You’re good, you’ve already done so much in the short time since you took over for Nicky and they can all see it. I don’t want to sneak around in my own house anymore Mia, we’re both adults.”
“It’s not just that, I’m-I just need more time.”
I released a frustrated sigh, “For what?”
“I don’t know I just do. Give me another month, please.”
“I’ll give you a week.”

“Fine.” I was frustrated but I would give her what she wanted. I had a feeling there was something else holding her back but if I pushed too hard I was afraid she would close me off altogether.
“Thank you,” she whispered.
“For what?”
“For being patient with me.”
“I’d do just about anything for you, Mia.” And it was true, I would move heaven and earth to make her happy. I hadn’t told her I loved her, I did, but I was scared. I’d never said those words to anyone other than my mother and she’d left.

“Mmm, fuck baby, that’s good,” Carlo groaned as his fingers sifted through my hair.
I was on my knees in front of him, suckling at the head of his cock. I had pounced on him the second he walked into my room, barely letting him close the door before I had his belt undone and was zipping down his fly. I opened my mouth wide and took as much of him in as I could, flicking the ridge on the underside of his dick with my tongue as pulled back and plunged down again. His hips jerked and his hands in my hair tightened just the way I liked it. I loved that Carlo lost control with me, he wasn’t gentle and he didn’t treat me as if I would break if he was too rough. He knew I could take whatever he wanted to give me and he knew I’d like it.
On the sixth or seventh pass over the notch just below the head, Carlo’s phone started buzzing. I paused my ministrations and snuck a peek up at him.
“Don’t stop, whatever it is can wait.”
I resumed my slow pace making sure to suck hard on the uptake, hollowing out my cheeks and causing Carlo to jerk forward again. His phone buzzed again, and again, and again. I pulled away with a loud popping noise as I released the suction on his dick.
