“Serious stock options. The sort that would retire you both.”
“Thank you.” I slipped the envelope inside my jacket pocket. “Thank you very much.”
“Alright.” Tomasso wildly gestured at the rest of DeLuca men. “Come on and help Santino out.”
“Absolutely not. My new wife is calling me.” I slipped away, only hearing a barrage of loud laughter come from them.
Minutes later, I kidnapped my gorgeous queen and had her on the other side of the mansion, devouring her in the center of the rose garden.
So horny for her, I buried my face in the curve of her neck and bit.
Kashmere chuckled. “You’re biting me so hard.”
“You’re lucky my cock is not deep inside of you and that beautiful gown is not in shreds on the ground.”
She nipped at my lips. “Am I?”
“Yes.”
“But you will be ripping this gown later?”
“I will.” I held her close to me. “You know that marrying you was the best decision of my life?”
“Mine too.”
“I was given a lot of advice tonight on how to properly love you.”
“Oh yeah?” She eyed me. “And are you going to take that advice?”
“I believe so.” I inhaled her sweet scent. “The more I stand here with you, the more I don’t see this gown surviving.”
“Santino, I think we are supposed to be mingling with our guests not fucking by the garden.”
“Is that what you believe?” I licked my lips.
She chuckled. “Yes. There’re traditions and all that shit.”
An engine roared and headed our way.
What is this?
I straightened and glanced over my shoulder.
Merik parked a new red Ghost behind me. A massive black bow decorated the top of it as the luxury vehicle glowed in the night. Hip hop music blasted from it.
I blinked. “Is that mine?”
“Yep.” Kashmere straightened the front of her gown.
Merik rolled the window down, letting more music out. “Come on, girl, before everyone notices.”
Laughing, Kashmere grabbed my hand and tugged me forward. “Come on, baby.”
I hurried with her. “Where are we going?”
“Honeymoon.”
“But that is my surprise.”
“Yeah, but I know we have to get on your plane to get there. Right?”
“That is correct.”
“Then, let’s get the fuck out of here.”
When we got to the Ghost, I opened the back door and watched her climb in. That long train towed along. I had to gather it up and place it in the Ghost.
Next, I climbed inside and shut the door. “And what about Killer Crow traditions and rules?”
“Fuck tradition.” She beamed. “I’m the Chairman. I don’t follow. I lead.”
“Damn right.” Merik handed Kashmere a joint wrapped in gold paper. “This is my present to you both.”
Watching her smoke, my cock stiffened.
Merik sped off, and I was kissing Kashmere through puffs of the golden joint.
Kashmere lay in my arms. “And where are we going, once we get on the plane?”
“Italy. Of course.”
“Oh wow.”
“Have you ever been?”
“Never.”
“Good. We’ll be there for two months.”
She blinked. “Oh shit. I should have told—”
“Dane and Rue.” I nodded. “They know.”
Merik spoke from the front, “I’ll be in charge the whole time.”
I shook my head. “Rue will be Acting Chairman.”
Laughing, Merik drove us off the estate and in the direction of Caviar Lime Highway.
“First, I’ll show you all the touristy parts—Rome, Venice, Florence, etc, then. . .”
Her eyes sparked with excitement. “Yes?”
“Then, I’ll take you to Sicily where I have distant family that I barely visit.” My heart warmed. “I want them to meet you.”
“Damn.” Merik hooted. “Two months? Kash going to come back pregnant as hell.”
“Shut up.” She handed me the joint.
I took it and gave her a wicked smile. “Actually, getting you pregnant is exactly my plan.”
She parted those lips in shock. “Santino—”
“Lots of babies.”
“Okay, but I have the Killer Crows to—”
“I’m shooting loads of cum inside of you every damned day—”
“Wow! Wow!” Merik sped up. “Can you all save that talk for the plane?”
“Oh yeah.” I dove my hand inside of my jacket and pulled out the wooden knife. “Give this to Lei for me.”
“The ghost blade?” Merik shook his head. “Hell to the fuck no, man. I would do a lot for you, Santino, but not that.”
“Then, perhaps you can give it to Leonardo and he do it.”
Sighing, Merik took the dagger. “That I can do.”
“Perfect.”
Kash frowned at me. “And that’s the end of that, baby. No more talking to the ghosts and being their delivery person.”
I kissed her cheek. “We’ll see.”
Epilogue
Italy
Kashmere
I had a startling secret bubbling in my throat, but couldn't find the best moment to let it out.
Soon. . .but not yet. . .
The gentle sway of the yacht in the Adriatic Sea always lulled me into a sleepy trance. It was hard to not let myself get carried away by the subtle undulation of the waves.
In our master suite, Santino and I rocked back and forth in the king-sized bed, embracing each other and sharing in the sensual harmony of our movement.
