Chapter 8
Dario Caraldi
Manuel has prepared the dining room for dinner at 6 p.m. Itâs an early meal by my familyâs standards, but Dani wants to join us before bedtime. How can I resist him? The child loves his uncles.
Iâm freshly showered after a grappling session with Mateo and Raoul. The pair are in the guest wing, getting cleaned up before joining us for dinner. Iâve told Nikki to dress, too. I could see slight surprise when I made the request, but she didnât question me. She seldom does, though Iâm not sure if thatâs obedience or if sheâs measuring her options. I suspect the latter. Thereâs more to her than meets the eye.
Since last night, sheâs been watching me with a strange combination of wariness and hunger. I should have known what lurked beneath that prim exterior. She has the kind of classical features that make me want to see her face contorted in pleasure. And fuck, she looks so damn beautiful when she comes.
Dani meets me in the dining room, his dark hair slicked carefully after his bath. He styles it just like my own. It makes me grin. My little Mini-Me. I move to the bar and pour myself a shot of Cutty. Itâs the ultimate mafia cliché drink, but I like it, though I seldom drink much.
I hear voices in the hall, and Mateo and Raoul appear in the wide doorway to the room. Both are as well-scrubbed as Dani and I are. I set out tumblers for them and pour each a shot without asking. I know their choices are much like mine. Though Iâll keep an eye on Raoul. The kid still tends to overindulge.
We rest against the bar counter, making small talk for a minute or two.
âWill you teach me to fight soon, Zio Raoul?â Dani asks. Iâve resisted the urge to get my son on the mat. Though thereâs no real reason for my reluctance â any kid can learn the fundamentals of jiu-jitsu. It would probably be good for him. Especially when I think back to the little cocksucker who tried to bully him. I canât explain my hesitation. Maybe itâs because Iâm trying to keep him from the violence in my world. Although our MMA studio is not like the kind of violence thatâs driven my family. Itâs controlled. It has meaning.
âHow about next week,â I say, and he turns shining eyes to me.
âReally?â he says excitedly.
I shrug. âDonât see why not. Youâre big enough now.â
âIâll get you some gloves,â says Raoul. âTeeny tiny ones. Piccolo size.â Dani sticks out his jaw.
âQuit it!â he says firmly. âIâm a big boy now!â
âYou sure are,â a voice says from the door. The four of us look up, and my mouth drops open. Nikki is standing in the entrance in a pale blue dress that clings to her curves. It stops at her knee, revealing legs tanned from days at the pool with Dani. Her golden curls are swept up on her head. She looks like fucking Grace Kelly.
