The Rat Exists

Nero

It’s two in the morning, the ringing of my cellphone resounds through the room, waking me. Felicia is nestled beside me, wiping the sleep from her eyes as I reach for the phone. My father’s voice booms through the line. “Get up, Nero. One of our warehouses has been hit. There’s a body count and you need to get over there and take care of it. I’m making inquiries here and we’ll get together later to make a plan for retaliation.” He doesn’t wait for a reply and clicks off.

I move to a sitting position. I am about to whip the covers aside and alert the men that I’m going to leave so they’re on full alert when I am not here, but Felicia wraps her arms around my waist to hold me back. I light the beside-lamp. “I have to go. I won’t be back until dinner.” Women are not told of our business, mainly to maintain the normalcy of a home life. What I do is difficult, bloody, and gruesome. When I come home, I want to leave that behind, even for a short time before it begins again.

“Are you going to be safe?” She rubs her eyes trying to shake the sleepiness from them.

“I intend to be.” I kiss her softly. It seems the more time I spend with my wife the more tempted I am to stay in this bed.

“Be careful, honey.” She moves to kiss my cheek, but I turn my head to take her lips in a kiss I’m finding I’m thinking of more and more these days.

She kisses me lightly and before she can move, I grasp her head and take her lips in a deep sweet sleepy kiss. My lips slant over hers, my tongue probing the seam of her sweet lips. Her lips are pliable, her sweet scent breathes life into my soul. I deepen the kiss and her arms glide around my neck, pressing her naked breasts against my bare chest. I pull away before I know I won’t be able to. I have responsibilities to attend to.

“Go back to sleep, dolce mio. I have to make some calls and get going.” I unwrap those silky soft hands from my hair and get out of bed.

I jump into the shower remembering how shy my wife was when I led her up to bed last night. After we’d polished up the dinner, I’d left Felicia to clean up while I’d gone over the day with Livio and Dario. Then, I’d made sure that I saw to getting a credit card and account set up for Felicia’s use. She will be going shopping again tomorrow with Grazia along for the day. Which means I’ll need another guy to go with them. While Grazia has her own guard, I need to make sure that, if they are riding together, Livio and Dario will be at the helm. I’d informed Grazia’s guard that he will be in the car behind them throughout the day tomorrow.
