CHAPTER NINETEEN
My Girls
Reese
When I told Nico that my girls wanted to celebrate my divorce with me, he insisted I have them over to the apartment. It has taken a week to make it happen because this is the first time that Nico has let me up for air. I am not complaining.
Sex with Nico is out of this world. He is not shy, apologetic, and he gives me what I need and want without question. Oh…and the dirty talk. Nico gives it just the way I like, in English and Italian. With his deep voice it is just perfect. My toes curl every time.
I look around at my girls. I’m so happy they are here. I need someone to gush to about the love I have found. I want to be able to share how happy I am.
“So tell us about him. You haven’t been able to stop smiling since we got here and I know it is not all about the divorce,” Stacey coaxes.
I squeal and wiggle in my seat like a little girl. “What is there to say. He is amazing. I feel loved, I feel safe and I feel beautiful with him. Nico is everything I thought I had, but this time it is so real,” I gush.
Tam gives me a skeptical look. “Are you sure this is real? I mean we met Ty the same time you did. I thought he was the real deal too. Then he went and lost his little mind,” Tam presses her lips.
“Yup,” Alee adds popping her p.
“Wait,” I laugh. “I know Ty changed into someone else once he left high school. I guess the fame and popularity got to him finally. I don’t have to worry about that with Nico. For one, he is a grown ass man. Plus, he is no stranger to fame. He has played soccer in the States and Overseas. None of that seems to have gone to his head.”
“Wait… hold on a stinking minute here,” Stacey interjects. “Soccer player…career ending injury…named Nico. Oh. My. Freaking. God. You are fucking Nico Zuko?”
“Shhh,” I look around not sure if Nico is back home yet. He went out with his brothers for a few hours. “Donati. Nico Donati. He dropped the Zuko name.”
“Yeah, I heard about that. What is that all about,” Tam asks with genuine interest. She is going to be a great sports lawyer. In less than a year and a half, she will be ready to take her bar exam. I know she is going to nail it.
I shrug my shoulders as I think back to the story Nico told me. He was not hesitant to give me all the details once I asked. I love that about him. Whatever I want to know, he opens right up to me. I’m not sure how Uri and Val will feel about me knowing so much, but Nico feels I should know.
I love that he trusts me, but then again, he could always just have me killed. I shiver at the thought. I have always known there was something about Uri and Val. It is in their eyes.
“It’s nothing,” I say. “Their family just made some changes. They have been through a lot. I think the name change was to bring them together. They are much closer now after almost losing Nico,” I tell the half-truth so easily.
“I want to get back to the fact that you are fucking Nico the soccer player,” Stacey wiggles her brows. “That explains this place.”
Stacey looks around the rooftop. I shake my head at my friend. Leave it to her to see dollar signs. I just laugh at her.
“I wasn’t going to say nothing,” Alee makes wide eyes at me then sips her drink.
“Whatever,” I wave her off.
“Well, I like him already. He has a real smile on your face and he got the super nerd to break her schedule to hang out with us,” Alee teases and looks over at Tam pointedly.
“Whatever, heifer. When I’m sending you celebrity clients and their wives we’ll talk about me being a super nerd,” Tam sasses back.
“Honey, I never said there was a thing wrong with you being a super nerd. I’m just acknowledging that you are one,” Alee chuckles.
“Again, can we get back to you fucking Nico the soccer player. He is Italian isn’t he,” Stacey interrupts. “What is he like six-four or something?”
“Six-six,” I sing and sip my drink.
“Oh my,” Stacey fans herself. “Well, how big is he?”
“I knew it was coming,” Alee snorts. “I keep telling ya’ll we need to stop being friends with her.”
“What, we all know I married a man with a barely average six incher. I’m being generous. His girth gets him a pass.”
“You ever think that’s why he is so insecure,” Alee asks and lifts a brow.
Stacey shrugs. “I don’t care anymore. I’m taking a page out of Reese’s book. We’re getting a divorce.”
“Really,” Tam asks pressing her lips and giving Stacey a side glance.
“Well, my birthday is coming but right after that, yup,” Stacey nods then gulps down her drink.
Tam waves a hand at Stacey. “How is Nico taking the whole divorce situation?” Tam pries.
“He beat Ty’s ass and made him sign the paper,” I giggle then cover my mouth. I may have had a little too much to drink.
“Oh hell yeah, I love him,” Stacey croons.
“Yes, he is a keeper,” Tam says in a fit of laughter. “I wish I could have been there.”
“Me too,” I agree.
“Well, the sex must be phenomenal because you are just glowing,” Stacey chirps.
I smirk and think of earlier. Nico had me bent over the bathroom countertop as he thrusted into me from behind, just before he left to meet his brothers. The things he said to me in Italian as he pounded into me had me screaming the roof off.
Sigh. I don’t think it is legal what that man has done to me. I am missing me some Nico right now.
“Girl, this new man has you gone,” Tam teases.
“You know what, good,” Stacey pouts. “because Ty was a no good filthy rat and I’m so sorry I never told you about what happen when I went to his college. You were just so in love. I didn’t want to crush you. I thought he would at least try to do better when you two married,” She has apologized profusely since she arrived.
“Stacey, I told you that we’re cool. I know you guys tried to warn me without hurting me. You’re right, if you would have come out and told me back then, I probably still wouldn’t have listened,” I confess.
“Wait, I still can’t believe you didn’t whip that hoes ass,” Tam says looking at me pointedly. “Out of all of us, you are the first to go postal every time. I swear you would think you grow up in the hood. Yup… you were over Ty before she revealed herself, because the Reese I know, would have whipped her ass. Just saying.”
“She had a baby in her arms,” I grumble. “Sometimes you just don’t want to show your ass. This was one of them.”
“Whatever,” Tam and Alee giggle.
“Girl, Ty used to have that nose open,” Alee chuckles drunkenly. “When Stacey said she caught him letting that chick suck him off at that frat house I wanted to tell you myself and almost did until you cursed me out over him.”
“Well, that is my past now. I’m finally using my head and I am totally over him,” I shrug and lift my glass in the air. “Too moving on!”
“Ha ha ha,” Tam laughs. “You’re so drunk.”
“Not too drunk to shake ass,” I sing and turn the volume up on the music playing around the pool. It is the perfect night up here to party. I smile slyly as I think of what Nico and I did a week ago up here.
I didn’t know how much I needed this. I feel so free. I am really happy for the first time in a long time. I let my hips sway to the music and enjoy myself.

Nico
When I walk into the apartment, I can hear the music that Reese is pumping on the rooftop. I smile to myself. I hope she is having fun with her friends.
I turn to head to our bedroom, but I take a detour as I think of how much I miss her. I just want to go up and say hello. Maybe I can steal a kiss. My mind goes to earlier and my cock grows hard as images of her ass bouncing around my cock fill my head. Her tits looked amazing in the mirror as well. I have to remember to fuck her like that again very soon.
I jog up the stairs and a smile hits my lips. My limp is all but gone lately. I guess sex is a cure all. Or it could be happiness. I haven’t been this happy in a very long time.
I stop just inside the sliding doors as Reese and her friends come into view. They are all beautiful women. There is one white girl in the group, she must be Stacey, if I remember right. She has blonde hair and she’s tall. The other two are smaller curvy women like my Reese. One is chocolate brown like Reese around five-six, I’d say since she is a little taller than Reese. I think I can safely say she is Tamara or Tam as Reese so affectionately calls her. That would leave Alee, she is a lighter brown. Maybe in the caramel hue. She is about Reese’s height, just not as thick.
They are all oblivious to the fact that I am watching them. The song changes and Rihanna’s, Work, and I chuckle as they all holler and throw their hands in the air. Only it is the woman I love that captivates me with her moves.
I watch her roll her body to the music and I have to shift on my feet. Reese closes her eyes and gives herself over to the music. It is a beautiful thing to see. She bends low, rocking her hips and working her legs and feet in fancy footwork. It is cute, the way she sings with the song and gets into the dance.
I can no longer watch from a distance. I did promise her a dance and I never break my promises. I walk out onto the roof, the friend I believe to be Tam sees me first and her eyes grow wide. I place a finger over my lips and wink at her.
Tam taps Alee, nodding in my direction and placing a finger over her own lips. They then do the same to Stacey. Stacey gives me a sly smirk. I just smile back, but turn my full attention to Reese, who is still in her own world.
My eyes drop to her ass swaying. I chuckle to myself and shake my head. Reese really has no idea how sexy she is. I love the maxi dress she has on. The black fabric clings to her skin just right as she rolls her body like a little snake.
She reaches for the skirt of her dress and pulls it up her legs exposing her smooth brown legs and her little feet in her gold sandals. Gold bracelet cling together on her wrists as she winds her body to music.
“This is my life. Fuck Ty, I’m free. I’m happy,” Reese calls out drunkenly and shimmies her ass, little more.
Not able to hold back anymore, I place a hand on her waist, pulling her back into me. I bend to lean into her ear. “Are you really happy, Cara,” I croon in her ear.
I slowly roll my hips into her and Reese stiffens. Opening her eyes, she turns to me with a look of shock and embarrassment on her face. I don’t let it deter me. I bend my knees and reach for her hand. The pain is a low hum in the background, but I push through.
I bob my head and roll my shoulders backward to the slow rhyme. Reese’s mouth drops open as I add the foot movements and mimic back the dance I watched her do. I have spent a lot of time in reggae clubs in my partying days. I know I shock Reese when I make myself eye level with her and start to swing my arms loosely to the beat as I drag my feet back and pop my body forward.
“Oh shit,” Alee chirps drunkenly. “He is killing it!”
When Reese stands too shocked to dance with me, Tam comes over and grabs my hand. I shrug and wink at Reese before turning to her friend and dancing with the one I assume to be Tam. She is not shy to dance with me at all.
~B~
Reese
Holy shit! Who is this man? I know Nico said he loved to dance before games, but I imagine Tom Cruise in Risky Business, not this. He looks hot as hell.
Tam steps into him with her right leg and rolls her body back and Nico follows the exact move, stepping in with his right leg and rolling his body. Then he throws me when he takes the lead, rocking his hips and moving them in a circle to the left with the same step and roll move. To be such a large man, Nico is moving his body so fluidly.
“Oh my God, you better get it, boy,” Alee cheers.
“Reese what is wrong with you,” Stacey squeals. “You better go get your man. I got next if you don’t.”
I snap out of my shock and dance my way over to Nico. I wrap my arms around him and place my palms on his chest. I am utterly shocked when Nico reverses his moves to roll his body back into mine. I roll with it though, not to be out done.
Tam throws her head back and laughs, stepping out of the way as I dance around to the front of Nico. Nico wraps an arm around my waist and place his forehead to mine. It is right then that I forget my girlfriends and the rest of the world.
Nico’s large body wraps around mine as he moves our bodies together to the music. I don’t even care that he is sweating all over my makeup. I reach to wrap my arms around his neck and Nico drags a hand slowly down one of my arms.
I am so turned on. I flick my tongue out against his lips, causing him to groan and hold onto me tighter. His hands slip down to my ass. I can feel him hardening as he grinds into me in time to the music. He is an amazing dancer. I can detect a slight hint of his limp, but not enough to interfere with his moves or rhythm.
“Are you ready to stop doubting me,” Nico breathes against my lips.
I laugh and cup his face. “Yeah, Baby, I really am,” I whisper with love.
“Good,” Nico smirks, before grasping my hands from around his neck and spinning me around so that my back faces him. Nico bending me over. I rock and sway my hips and ass into him.
Nico grasp my hips as he rocks, rolls, then pauses to the beat, and repeats. I can feel his erection pulsing into my backside. I reach for my skirt lifting it over my legs to my knees and I give as good as I’m getting.
I thought I was a dancehall queen back in the day. So I lock my knees and pop my butt on his erection. I look behind me to see the lust in Nico’s eyes as his fingers bite into my hips. He leans back as he grinds into me, still on beat.
“I love, him,” Alee slurs bringing me back to the rooftop with my friends. “Yes, Reese. Get that shit, Girl!”
I burst out laughing and stand straight. Nico wraps his arms around my waist and buries his face into my neck. “I’m crazy about you,” he groans as he sways me in his arm. I reach up and lock my fingers in his damp hair. Nico just put in work. “Have fun, but come to me as soon your friends leave.”
“I will,” I purr.
Nico holds onto me a little longer as the song changes and my friends giggle to themselves. I don’t want him to let go. This is the best feeling in the world. I realize he is trying to let his erection die down.
I giggle and turn around to face him. His blue eyes are filled with laughter, lust and something else. I ignore the last one for now. I have been embarrassed that I blurted out my feeling that first night in the pool and I haven’t said the words again since.
“Thank you for the dance, Mr. Donati,” I say shyly.
“Anytime,” Nico winks.
He releases me and takes a step back. I suddenly feel that we are surrounded. I turn to see Stacey, Tam, and Alee are on either side of me looking up at Nico with dreamy eyes. I laugh at them and turn back to Nico. I can’t blame them.
Nico looks so sexy in his blue jeans and red t-shirt. He has on red and grey racing shoes that give him a laid back sex appeal. Nico has been letting his hair grow out and it now kisses his collar and the front falls into his eyes in the sexiest way, when he doesn’t comb it out of his face. His blue eyes are filled with so much mischief these days that you can almost see his dirty thoughts.
“Enjoy your evening ladies. Thank you for the dance,” Nico says to Tam.
“Oh, you are more than welcome, but don’t think you are just going to run off,” Tam says with a smile as she folds her arms over her chest. I groan as I see her getting ready to interrogate Nico. “We want to get to know you. I’m Tam by the way.”
Nico takes the hand Tam offers him, but instead of shaking it, he brings it to his lips and brushes a quick kiss to it. “The soon to be lawyer, Yes?” Nico asks.
Tam lifts a brow and smirks. “That’s right. Nice to meet you,” Tam smiles.
“The pleasure is mine,” Nico turns to Alee as he releases Tam’s hand.
“You must me Alee. The hairstylist,” Nico says with a charming smile on his lips.
“That would be me,” Alee slur-sings holding out her hand for Nico to give her the same treatment as Tam’s.
Nico doesn’t disappoint as he takes her hand and kisses it as well. Alee giggles and her cheeks blush. I just shake my head at my friend. I know we have all had too much to drink. Alee is not one to blush for many.
Stacey nearly shoves Alee out of the way as she sticks her hand in Nico’s face. Nico bites back a laugh, but takes Stacey hand and kiss it as well. “That would make you Stacey. It is nice to meet you all, Reese speaks so fondly of her girls,” Nico croons with a handsome smile on his face.
“Wait, you skipped over what I do,” Stacey pouts. “What did she tell you about me.”
“Girl please,” Alee waves Stacey off. “We all know you shop for a living. Nico don’t have time for that. Go have a seat with your attention seeking ass.”
“I can’t with you two,” Tam giggles and shakes her head.
“Still don’t know why we’re friends with her crazy ass,” Alee teases.
“Because when I shop, I buy y’all stuff too,” Stacey says and lifts her chin.
We all burst into laughter at that. Tam and Alee links arms through Nico’s as they move to each of his sides. “So Mr. Donati, we have to insist you hang with us. Reese has told us some interesting things,” Tam starts.
“Yes, we have to check and make sure you are the right man for her,” Alee nods.
“I am the only man for her,” Nico says confidently, but lets them lead him away.
Alee and Tam look to me and lift their brows at me. Tam draws her lips downward as if to say, ‘um, you may have a keeper here.’ I laugh, knowing my girl well enough to know what she is thinking. She is right, Nico is a keeper and I plan to hold on tight.
