Climbing up beside me, Jarek stays with me, ensuring I drink water and even gives me some chocolate. I eat it happily.

"Why do you feed me chocolate right after you punish me?" I ask out of curiosity.

"Because what we did was intense, and I want to make sure your body adjusts properly. It's called aftercare. I will always take care of you after one of those sessions."

"Hm, well, I like it," I say as my lids start to get heavy.

Jarek chuckles.

"Well, you rest now. I'll get Keirnan and bring him up here, and then we will all nap together."

"Sounds like a plan," I murmur on a yawn.

All I remember after that is the click of the door being closed, and then I'm out for the count.

SEVENTY-ONE

Jarek

"Hey, little buddy. You ready to come home?" I ask my son as I lift him into my arms.

"He's been an angel like always," Heidi says, smiling at me.

"Thank the Lord our boy takes after his mama on that account," Fran mumbles loudly.

I roll my eyes but ignore the woman, reminding myself that Lily loves the old bat. As soon as things were safe again, I had the two women moved back to their cottage at the back of the estate. This is where they prefer to watch Keirnan, and I'm okay with it, but the verbal abuse from Fran really gets to me sometimes. Luckily, I'm in a good mood at the moment, so I let it slide.

I get that my uncle was a prick, but I'm sure I've proven many times over that I'mnotmy uncle. Instead of arguing with the older woman, I return Heidi's smile.

"Thanks again for watching the little guy, but please don't encourage Lily to leave without my knowledge. I can't keep her safe if I don't know where she's at."

"Controlling motherfucker, that's what you are…" Fran murmurs softly, but I still hear her.

"Don't mind her," Heidi grins. "She's just mad because she can't hate you anymore. She knows you're none of those things, but she can't admit when she's wrong."

Fran disappears without denying Heidi's words, but I'm not too concerned either way. People can hate me all they want, as long as they don't get between me and mine—and Liliana is mine.

After saying goodbye to Heidi, I carry Keirnan home and take him straight to our room. We have a nursery, but Lily likes to keep him close, so we also keep a crib in our room.

I pull out a bottle of milk that we keep stored in the minifridge, also kept in the room, and stick it on the bottle warmer. I won't wake Lily up just to feed our son when I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself.

Sitting in the chair by the French doors, I feed Keirnan as I gaze down at his chubby little face. It's almost hard to tell who he looks like since Lily and I have the same coloring. I do see more of Liliana in the shape of his eyes and mouth, but his nose is mine, as are his hands and feet—a perfect mixture of his parents.

I glance over to the bed where Lily sleeps soundly and become deep in thought. Not all the danger is over. We still have Rossi and Greco to deal with. Greco swears he had nothing to do with the bombing or me being taken; apparently, Carmen worked on her own, but I'm not too sure I believe that. I have men working on finding out the truth.

Greco wasn't too happy, finding out we had his niece in our cells, so I can imagine how he's going to feel when he learns that the bitch is dead. Speaking of that, I reach into my pants pocket and pull out my phone. I have the app for the security cameras pulled up instantly.

Zooming in on Carmen's cell, I see that the two dead bodies have been removed, but Carmen is still restrained to the chair. Her mouth hangs open as her eyes stare straight ahead. There's no movement, and it doesn't take a genius to know that the bitch is gone.

I let out a huge sigh. I've waited so long to be rid of Carmen; it's almost hard to believe it's finally happened. Maybe now I can forget my past and move on to my future.

I look at my son and smile. For someone who never really wanted kids, I sure am infatuated with my little guy. I can only thank Liliana for that. She's changed me, and although I'm still the ruthless Mafia Kingpin, Lily was able to dig down deep and find the softer side to me. She's brought me back to life, and for that, I don't think I could ever thank her enough.

The only thing that would possibly be enough is if I granted her the freedom to leave me if she so chooses. However, that will never happen. I will never let her go.

I slip between her legs, not caring that she's still leaking my cum from earlier, and I line my cock up to her entrance. Liliana is still sound asleep, and now that I've fed the baby and he's sleeping, I need more attention.

I push into her nice and slow, trying not to wake her up just yet. I find that it turns me on when I fuck her like this. Something about being able to slide in and out of her sweet pussy while she sleeps soundly is so fucking hot. I never thought I'd like this, but it happened once before, after another punishment, and I've been thinking about it ever since.
