United with the Family, Cherie Benjamin [read after .TXT] 📗

his show of strength."

"Does the Nazario know who did it?"

"No, but I know it won't be long.  Kane's men are looking into it and his Capo is really good."

"Who is his Capo?"

"Uriel Brookshire."

"I have heard his name before, but where?"

"Uriel is Miss Henderson’s boyfriend.  He is also the manager at Diamond Knotts."

"The BDSM club?"

"Yes, Uriel is a Dominant and Miss Henderson is his submissive."

Zachary took a moment to think about all the information.  Then, an idea sparked.

"Is Ara a submissive?"

"I don't know, but the serving job was at Diamond Knotts."

"Fuck."

"Also, I heard that Kurtus attacked her, but Kane saved her."

"WHAT FUCK DO YOU MEAN HE ATTACKED HER?"

"He came on to her and, from what I was told, bit her neck."

Zachary’s blood was boiling.  Yes, Kurtus was his flesh and blood, but he had harmed his granddaughter, his own half-sister.  Now, what the fuck was he going to do?

"Tony, put someone on Kurtus and Sebastian.   I want to know everything they are doing."

"I will; what about Ara?"

"Watch her and keep me up informed of every detail."

Tony got up and left to make sure Zachary wishes were met.

Zachary thought about all the information that Tony had given him.  Kane Leone was now not only the future Don of the Leone Family, but also a man who was in love with his granddaughter.  Then a thought came to mind, what if Kane married Ara? Fuck; that would mean she would be the wife of the Don of the Leone Family.  Zachary did not know what to do. His grandson was not fit to be the ruler of the family, but Ara might be taken away if she married Kane.  Zachary couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if she didn’t, or if there was another possibility, joining the two families.

Chapter 13

 

The morning sun beamed through the windows of the bedroom, and the rays of light slowly crept toward the couple, who were tightly bound to each other. They were currently bound by their love, but they hoped that, maybe one in the near future, they’d be bound with a band of gold.  The three sacred words had been spoken from their hearts last night and they spent hours whispering, moaning, and screaming the words to each other, as they enjoyed the hours of lovemaking.

Ara sighed softly and arched her back and shoulders.  Last night’s, hell, the early morning activities had made her stiff.  Kane was such a powerful lover that she often thought his cock hit her spleen with each deep thrust.

However, the slight pain that it caused made her want him more.  Ara thought about the moment that Kane told her he loved her; the painful lifetime of never being loved ended.  Her heart was filled with his love. She knew that she would never love another man. Kane Leone was the man she trusted with her heart, body, and soul.

"What is that smile for, my love?"  Kane said in his husky morning voice.

"Just thinking about last night."

"You don't regret it, do you?"  Kane asked nervously, hoping she had not changed her mind.

Ara moved so she was looking directly into his beautiful green eyes.  "I love you with everything that I am."

"Fuck, baby, I love you so much."

Kane leaned up, captured her lips, and poured all the love he had for her in that kiss.  He had never dreamed that his heart could be so full. His entire life was viewed through dark colored glasses, never clearly seeing the world around him, but now, the glass was clear, and the world was bright and new.  Falling in love had changed Kane for the better.

Finally, they pulled apart, both gasping for air; Kane pulled Ara back into his arms and squeezed her tight.  "I want to stay like this for the rest of our lives."

"As lovely as that sounds, we have to get up and go to your parents’ house."

Kane’s heart began to beat fast and his mind began to play out all the different scenarios in which Ara might take the news today.  However, the one that frightened him the most was Ara leaving him. Kane knew that he would never find anyone like her.

"Let's go shower and get ready then."  Kane said, giving her a tighter squeeze.

They went off to shower, bathing each other in soft caresses and tender kisses.  Each touch, each kiss, each longing look was filled with their ever-increasing love.  They emerged and went to select their clothes for today. Even though only going to brunch, Ara still wanted to look nice.  She selected a simple yet lovely black dress and wore a pair of heels that Kane said that made her ass ‘look fucking hot’. Next, Ara selected a sexy black thong that had a ruffled top, a garter belt, and black stockings.  The bra that matched was a cute yet minuscule shelf bra. Her nipples were barely covered and her mounds were pushed high and proud. Kane fucking loved watching her dress. As each piece of clothing went on, he imagined taking them off later.  When she covered her tits with that piece of fabric, that some would call a bra, he nearly came. Fuck, he had to sit beside her at his parents’ house knowing what she had on under her dress. Fuck, it was going to be a hard morning, in more ways than one.  Kane selected a pair of dark pants, a baby blue button down shirt, and a leather jacket.

Walking down the stairs hand and hand, Kane and Ara were met by Ben.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, Ben.  We are off to my parents’ house."

"Certainly."

They were quickly in the car and off to Nazario and Rosa's.  Kane held Ara's hand like a lifeline, afraid that, if he let go, she would disappear on him.

Ara could tell something was wrong with Kane.  He was holding onto her hand so tightly, she was afraid that she’d begin losing the circulation there soon.  What could it be? Had someone threatened him or his family? Whatever it was, she knew she needed to be strong for him.  She did not want to lose the one person that had ever loved her.

"So, are you excited about tonight?"  Kane said, trying to get his mind off of the situation.

"Very much so; I just hope I won't disappoint you."

"Not possible.  I promised to go slow and I will continue to check to see where you are.  Don't overthink it. Just trust me."

"I do, with everything that I am."

"Good and I trust you.  However, please remember your safe word if it gets to be too much.  I want you to remember tonight as the beginning of our Dominant/submissive relationship with fond memories.  I want; no, I need to meet all your needs."

"Kane, you are a wonderful Dominant. I know that you will lead me to a place of pleasure that I have only dreamt about."

Kane placed a kiss on her lips.  "Together, we will get there together."

They soon arrived and Kane and Ara walked into the home hand and hand.  Rosa met them at the door and hugged them tight.

"I am so happy to have you here.  Please come in, I thought we could eat on the deck."

Kane led Ara through the house and out to the deck that overlooked the harbor.  There was a soft, warm breeze. They could smell the salt off the water and hear the gentle pushing of the waves against the bank.  On the deck was a gorgeous set of outdoor furniture in black iron and blue fabric.

"Kane, this is beautiful."

"Mom loves to decorate; that’s why she was so excited about your office."

"She has so many wonderful ideas. I can't wait to get started."

"Kane, Ara, so glad you are here."  Nazario said as he walked out of the bay doors and over to Ara, giving her a hug and a kiss on the head.

Kane watched his father as he hugged Ara. He knew that Ara had won over Nazario’s heart.

"Come sit, Rosa and Maggie are on the way with the food.  I'll pour the mimosas."

Nazario poured the orange juice into each of flutes and then opened a bottle of Cristal and topped off the each glass.  Rosa and Maggie emerged from the house carrying two trays of food. Each tray contained cinnamon buns, scrambled eggs, bacon, and fresh cut fruit.  The women soon placed the trays onto the table.

Nazario pulled out the seat for Rosa to sit down and once she did, he placed a sweet kiss on her head.  Leaning close to her ear, he whispered huskily. "I love you and can't wait until later."

Friday nights had been set aside for Dominant Nazario and submissive Rosa time.  Tonight, Nazario had a surprise for his little pet. Thinking about the scene that he had planned made his cock hard. Nazario sat down in the chair next to Rosa and placed a napkin over his lap, willing it to go away.

Kane pulled out the chair for Ara, and placed a kiss on her head, just like his father had done to his mother.  Sitting down beside her, the couples began to serve themselves the delicious looking food. Nazario handed a mimosa to Kane, Ara, and Rosa.  "I would like to make a toast." Raising his glass, he looked at each one of them. "To new beginnings and finding what is most important in the world.  Love."

They bumped their glasses together and all took a drink.  The food was eaten and the conversation was kept light. Rosa told Ara about the funny things Kane had done as a small child and, with each passing story, Kane’s face turned a soft pink glow.  Ara giggled at the sight of the big bad mafia guy, blushing over his mommy telling stories about him.

Kane leaned over and whispered in her ear.  "Keep it up, but remember where you will be tonight."

Ara turned quickly and looked into the darkened eyes of the man she loved.  Damn, she wondered, would it be rude to jump up and leave? She quickly determined that it would be, and the devil in him knew what he was doing.  Damn, it was going to be a hot night.

"Kane, why don't we go into the den?"  Nazario said.

Kane stood and helped Ara with her chair and took her into his arms.  "I love you so much."

"I love you."

Kane and Ara walked into the house and toward the den.  Just like the rest of the house, it was warm and very welcome.  There was a large leather sofa facing a granite faced fireplace with a large ornate mantle.  Over the fireplace was an oil painting of Nazario, Rosa, and Kane. They had sat down for the painting two years ago, as a Mother's Day gift for Rosa.  The artist had captured the love that both men had for Rosa.

Nazario sat in a chair across from the sofa, while Rosa sat on one side of Ara while Kane sat on the other side.  Nazario had told Rosa everything that he had found out about Ara and her parents. To say that Rosa was livid was an understatement.  When Nazario finished telling her, Rosa walked over to her purse, pulled out her gun, and
