(this book is really cringey and there is a lot wrong with it but dont be hateful 🙄)
A girl-a mafia princess-falls in love with her pretty bodyguard, Aleksander.
He's...
He sits (kind of) in Atticus' lap, which is a funny sight because they're both fucking huge and bulk.
"Thank you," I give him a little smile and start to eat some fries.
...
I help Elvi walk into the house, holding the baby carrier with the baby in it, in my left hand. We're met by a very excited Artemis. Elvi leans down to give him pets and kisses.
I lead her to the couch and give her a blanket and a kiss before I go to get the rest of the stuff from the car.
I bring the stuff to the nursery, putting everything in its reserved spot.
When I enter the living room, I hear small sniffles. Artemis lays on the floor in front of the couch, looking up at Elvi with worry.
"Baby?"
I stop in front of her and put my hand under her chin, pushing her head back so I can see.
Her eyes are watery and red, cheeks red and stained with tears. "What's wrong, my love? Are you in pain?"
She slowly shakes her head and shrugs.
I narrow my eyes as more tears stream down her chubby face. I hate seeing her sad. My baby deserves all the happiness.
I sit next to her and pull in to straddle my waist. She quickly shoves her face into my chest, sniffing.
"You don't know what's wrong?" I question.
"No," she says in a soft voice, hands going to the bottom of my shirt and tugging slightly.
"Hm?"
"Off."
I chuckle softly and attempt to pull her back but she doesn't budge. "Darling," I nudge her again, "you have to move if you want me to take it off."
She groans, pulling away.
I smile at her, letting my eyes roam over her beautiful face. Leaning down, I kiss her slowly and deeply.
I pull back and quickly pull my shirt over my head, tossing it to the ground.
Her smile widens and she shoves her head back into my chest, wrapping her arms tightly around me. I wrap mine around her too and lay my head on her shoulder, kissing her neck.
I could stay here forever.
But a loud cry interrupts us.
...
After feeding Hades, he falls right back to sleep.
So does Elvi.
I answer all the missed texts I have. Most are from Elvi's dad. He couldn't be here because he was in Italy for business.
Another is from Gio, asking if he and Nico can come over.
I tell them yes but that they have to enter the house very quietly or I'll kick them.
About ten minutes later, I hear the door creak open slowly and soft footsteps heading my way.
Artemis' head snaps up and she bounds towards them, almost knocking Nico over in the process.
They drop to the ground and make the dog roll over so they can give him belly rubs. Gio smiles brightly and sits next to Nico.
He waves at me. I go to wave back but both my hands are occupied. I smile instead.
Elvi begins to wake up, rubbing her eyes with her hand. She grins at me and gives my jawline a small kiss.
I motion my head over towards the two people, making her look over.
She waves excitedly at both of them.
"We need to wake him up or he won't sleep at all tonight," she says, looking down at the baby.
She moves out of my lap and takes him out of my hands. "Wake up, little baby. You need to meet your Uncle Gio and Nico."
His eyes slowly flutter open and his dark eyes stare up at Elvi.
"He's so cute!" Gio exclaims, plopping down next to Elvi.
She carefully places Hades in his arms and smiles warmly at the two.
I look back over at Nico to see his eyes completely stuck on Gio. His eyes have a sparkle and a smirk sits on his lips.
