“Do you think I should take the crown from my brother?” Draven asked.
This was a test.
“No,” Maria said, looking at him.
“Why not?”
“You don’t want it. If you did, you’d have taken it from your brother when you had the chance. I won’t tell anyone.” She knew why they did what they were doing. It had also worked for them. The family thrived.
Draven’s gaze dropped down to her lips, and then he startled her by suddenly slamming his lips down on hers. She moaned his name, only for it to get muffled as he kissed her harder. The hand on her throat let go and he cupped her waist, drawing her against him.
She wore a bikini as she always did to come to the pool. This was where she spent a lot of her time. Here, the library, or in the dining room. When both of his hands finally went around her, she felt safe, finally. Draven and Antwone’s secret was safe with her. She wouldn’t tell a soul. They were her family and she would protect them both with her life.
Draven ran his hands up her back, and within seconds, he had the catch of her swim bra open and the bra on the floor. The panties joined the bra, and she attacked his clothes.
They had only been together for a week, but already that felt like a lifetime, but in a good way. She hated him not being home.
Tearing off his shirt, Draven took care of the rest, and then he took her to the floor. He moved between her spread legs, touching her.
She’d been so desperate for him. Feeling bold, she reached between them, wrapping her fingers around his length, working from the base up to the tip then back down again. She worked his cock, hungry to feel him.
Draven pushed her hand out of the way and then took matters into his own. She felt the hard tip press against her core, and she wrapped her legs around him, thrusting up to meet him as he took her. His cock was so hard, and there was no way he was wearing a condom. She hadn’t given him the chance.
He pulled all the way out of her, and then slammed balls-deep inside her. Moaning his name, she spread her legs wider, not wanting him to stop, hungry for all he could give her. She had missed him so freaking much. Over and over, Draven drove inside her, going deeper, filling her.
“Touch yourself,” Draven said.
She slid her fingers between their bodies and even though it was awkward, she touched her clit, feeling her arousal building. It had only been a couple of days, but she was so desperate to feel him, any part of him.
“Oh, fuck, you feel so fucking good.” He all but growled out the words.
She felt him speed up, and the power of his thrusts as his pelvis pressed against her fingers shocked her into a spine-tingling orgasm. His name spilled from her lips like a mantra.
Draven followed her into release and as he did so, his face pressed against her neck. His lips sucked at the pulse, right on that zone which heightened her arousal. She felt the flood of his cum as he filled her up. Wave upon wave of it.
This was what she wanted.
She and Draven had only been married a week, but she already knew what she didn’t want—the distance between them—there was no way she could live with that. Maria had no idea what she was going to do if he actually got her pregnant. The thought of going away without seeing him again filled her with dread.
She had no idea what that meant, but she couldn’t give up Draven, not for anything.

Four Months Later
Draven hated parties. He couldn’t abide them.
As a single man, women would parade their daughters in front of him, trying to gain his attention and hoping he’d offer marriage to them. It never worked. However, now he had a wife on his arm, and he wasn’t interested in going to a party. Being a capo, he had no choice but to attend.
Maria was nervous, and he understood why. They’d been invited to a few lunches and social events. Draven stayed by her side, and he waited for someone to say anything about who she was or who her family was. So far, nothing.
However, he also knew Maria wasn’t a welcome addition. No one had invited her out to their personal women’s events, which he didn’t mind. The last four months, his life had changed.
First, he hadn’t killed his wife, obviously, and she was now the only other person within their circle to know their secret. Second, he didn’t leave her at home, and in fact, took her to business with him. Maria had a great mind. In her deducting who he and Antwone were, he had also figured she could problem-solve better than most people he knew. She helped him with some of the problems he faced. Third, she was fucking great company.
