The Other Shoe

Luce

Somewhere in the middle of the night, after several rounds of sex and a number of orgasms I didn’t know were possible, I fell asleep in Santino’s arms. I shifted my body to face him, but he was gone. My giddy smile fell from my lips. I didn’t like this bitter anguish that sat in the pit of my stomach every time he left me, even if it was only for a minute.

I curled up around his warm pillow and took in his woodsy scent. I now realized he smelled of home on a sunny autumn morning. For whatever crazy reason, this beautiful man was not only in love with me, but he also wanted to marry me—like a real marriage with sex and possibly babies.

My heart fluttered at the idea of that kind of life with someone like Santino. Did I want a normal relationship with the man I was crazy about? Hell yes. But Santino and I were not normal people—him less so than me with his century-old secret enclave. He had more enemies than I could imagine. And I would think not all were outsiders like Liam Walsh.

I thought of Jack Turner, or Tino, from the Chicago Outfit, and the weeks we spent at The Meadows. Toward the end, I began to think of him as a possible friend. But all along, he had been the one who worked with Liam to orchestrate a bunch of raids on our warehouses and even some homes. I thought of Sullivan, Dad’s best friend and killer. He betrayed his own crew, and for what, the title of boss? He had to know Liam would never let him be a boss. He would forever be under Walsh’s thumb. Or maybe he didn’t know Liam the way I did.

Blowing out a breath, I sat up and shook my head. I couldn’t let myself spiral down that dark path. I had Santino now. We had each other. We had a real shot at being happy. Something I didn’t think was for me before. I never thought I’d marry for love.

Of course, Santino had to barge into my life and change all that.

I kicked the covers off me and headed to the bathroom. He wasn’t there, but the steam still clung to the mirrors, which meant he hadn’t been downstairs long. I checked the clock on the bedside table. It was six in the morning. I supposed kingdoms like Santino’s didn’t run themselves.

For a second, I considered going back to bed and waiting for him to come find me again. But then I realized he might be having breakfast, so I decided to join him. I hopped in the shower, mostly to let the warm spray soothe my pussy while a vivid movie of Santino taking me from behind played in my head. Who knew how long I stayed there reliving the events from last night and earlier this morning? Santino’s words, “I love you,” echoed in my head over and over.

The soft piano notes brought me back to reality.
