It doesn’t take long to get there, and when we do he parks right in front of the diner. I look out of the window and see the closed sign hanging on the door. It’s odd because it’s the middle of the day. When I look over, I see Salvatore has a resigned look on his face.
“I bought it. It’s no longer in business.” He shrugs like it’s no big deal.
“You’re a jerk,” I tell him, then look away. I don’t know why I’m so pissed; I hated that job. But today went from perfect to shit, and now I’m irritated.
For a moment, I try to think about what my next step is going to be, but then I feel his arms wrap around me as he pulls me into his lap. The feeling of his warmth wrapped around me melts my resolve and I look into his eyes. I see regret there, and I know he knows he fucked up. He opens his mouth to say something, but I cut him off. I need to be able to speak my mind with him. There’s no room for doubt if this is going to work, and I want all cards on the table.
“Don’t you ever do that to me again,” I snap at him. “You were as cold as ice, and it cut me. That’s not who you are. I’ve seen the real you, and he’s warm and kind. You might have to be tough with your men and with the life you lead. But when it comes to me, there is only tenderness.”
His face goes soft and he cups my face with his hands.
“I’m sorry, angel.” I see the truth in his eyes, and I know he means it. This isn’t a ploy to win me over, because I see the pain there. “I don’t like other people looking at you. I didn’t think about one of my men walking through the kitchen. I wasn’t prepared for those feelings to rise up in me. I was only that way because I was jealous.” He closes his eyes and presses his forehead to mine before looking back into my eyes. “I promise to never speak to you like that again as long as I live. But I can’t promise that I won’t protect you from anyone who puts his hands on you. The idea of another man thinking you aren’t mine can’t happen.” He closes his eyes again, and I can see the anger just under the surface at the thought of me being with someone else. He opens them up and there is so much pain and need. “I love you, Thea. You’re mine.”
“You love me?” I ask, my eyes watering.
“Of course I do,” he breathes against my lips. “I’ve never wanted anything like I want you. It scares the shit out of me that something could take you from my grip. I’m sorry if I upset you. I’ve never let another woman in my house or my heart, so I don’t know what the rules are. But I want to learn with you, because you’re it for me.” He digs his hands into my hair. “I know it’s fast, but I knew from the moment I saw you that you were mine.”
“I love you, too.” With Salvatore, I feel like I belong. He’s the home I’ve never had, and though it may be quick, I don’t want to waste another second because of fear.
I feel all the tension leave his body as his eyes soften. “You mean everything to me, my angel. You saved me.”
Love wraps around my heart and around us as I brush my lips against his. “I need you,” I whisper. “Right now.”
Chapter 11
Salvatore
“We can’t right here,” I say, looking into her eyes then around the car windows. “People might walk by.”
I say this, but already my cock is hard, filling with the cum I want to put inside her.
“Please, Salvatore. Don’t make me wait.”
She moves her hips over my erection, and I check the windows once again to make sure no one is close. The windows are tinted, but that won’t keep everything thing out.
“It will have to be quick.” I say, sliding my hand up her bare thigh. “And you’ll have to be quiet.”
She bites her bottom lip and nods. She looks so innocent sitting on the dick that’s about to impregnate her.
Reaching down, I hit the button for the seat to move back as far as it can. I lift her hips a little so she can put her legs on either side of my hips while she’s facing me.
“You’re lucky I’ve got every cop in this town on my payroll and they know to stay the fuck away from my car.” I lean back a little and push her waitress uniform the rest of the way up to expose her lavender panties. “Show me your pussy.”
