I show her where I want her feet, nice and wide as she lays on her back so I have room to really make her squirm. Her perfect little pussy is already wet for me, glistening in the dim light.

“Fuck, I can’t believe how perfect your pussy is,” I say.

I see her lips twitch into a grin as she lifts her head to look down at me. Her large eyes take me in hungrily and I fucking love how bad she wants it.

“You’re going to want to cum so bad you’ll ride my face before I’m done,” I say, putting two fingers inside her and stroking her G-spot. She’s so tight around me, I can already feel her core clenching around my fingers as her back arches. I push her hips down with my free hand, holding her in place as I lower my mouth to suck the bud of her clit. Her body shakes against me and a strained moan slips through her clenched teeth. She’s so deep in her pleasure that her whole body is taut right now, soft thighs pressing against the sides of my head and her core clenching around my fingers.

I flatten my tongue over her entrance and clit and she takes my cue instantly, rocking her hips against me shamelessly and riding my face just as I promised she would. She presses her palms flat to the ground, increasing her pace. I have to reach down and grab my throbbing cock. I’ve never been so fucking hard. I stroke my dick as she fucks my face, needing to be inside her but wanting her to cum in my mouth first.

Her hips freeze as her body quivers and she cries out in orgasm. I nearly lose it and cum from how turned on I am watching her. I move my hand off my dick and take her perfect ass in both fists, squeezing hard and pressing her into my face, intensifying her orgasm.

I don’t wait for her to come down from her high before I climb back over her, kissing her deeply and making her taste herself. She’s so wet for me that my cock slides in effortlessly, her tight walls straining to fit my cock. She digs her fingers into my back as I work my full length into her, wondering at how her small frame can fit the entirety of my huge cock.

I pump into her, cupping her tit and kissing her neck while I work myself into a rhythm, angling my body so that my hips slap into her clit with each thrust. She shakes against me, breathing so heavily that I think she might pass out if she keeps it up. I love it. I absolutely love fucking her. I pull my head back to look at her face, drinking in the sweet, innocent features and the way my fat cock is turning them into something hungry and sensual.

“Fuck, I’m going to cum,” I say, shifting to pull out.

She sits up partially, gripping me by the ass and holding me into her, using her leverage to grind her hips against me and work my dick like she owns it. My back bends and my mouth opens in silent ecstasy.

“Fuck!” I groan as my cock pulses inside her, spraying my cum deep in her pussy. Holy shit. That was the hottest fucking thing I’ve ever seen. She doesn’t let go, humping herself against me until she’s done cumming, working my over-sensitive dick until I can hardly take it anymore. When she’s finished, she lets me go, scooting to sit and giving me the sexiest little smile and biting her lip.

I lean toward her, kissing her deep and then pulling back. “You’re incredible,” I say.

“Are you two done fucking in my shed yet?” asks Vince from outside.

Julia’s eyes widen and she scrambles for her clothes. I laugh, slowly redressing, but spending more time watching her beautiful body as she hurries to dress.

“We’re good,” I call out a few moments later.

“Stay back from the door,” calls Vince.

A loud crunch nearly makes me jump as the axe-head splits its way into the door, letting a shaft of dusty light into the shed. Vince knocks a few more holes before he’s able to kick the center of the door out and help us climb through.

He stops to look at the door, scratching his head once we’re free. “Maybe I’ll follow the instructions next time I build something.”

I smirk at him. “What would be the fun in that?”

He sighs. “Yeah, you’re right. There’s a kind of charm to the imperfection, isn’t there?”

Julia laughs. “If you call nearly freezing to death in a shed charming, sure.”

Vince tries to hide his grin, but fails. “Yeah, you sounded really cold in there.”

Julia crosses her arms, cheeks turning bright red. “I should go check on Roman,” she says, kissing me quickly on the cheek.

I grab her arm before she leaves and whisper in her ear. “Babe, your shirt is on inside out.”

Julia looks down, blushes even harder, and rushes off, probably to find a bathroom.

I’m left standing on the back porch with Vince, staring out at the light snowfall coating everything in sight.

“So are you in the clear?” asks Vince. The tone of his voice tells me he’s not talking about with Julia. He wants to know if I’m still going to be targeted by the Bianchis and Morettis.

“Mostly,” I say. “I was able to get in contact with the Capobiancos yesterday. Both the Morettis and Bianchis are completely crippled, and the Capobiancos have already started absorbing most of the lower level guys and a few key capos. I’ll probably never be a hundred percent sure, but yeah. I think it’s all over.”

He nods. “What are you going to do now?”

I smile to myself, realizing I’m about to admit something I haven’t admitted to anyone before. “I’ve always wanted to fly. Not like superhero shit,” I say quickly, suddenly feeling silly. “Airplanes. I used to fly these little remote controlled models when I was a kid, and I always imagined what it would be like to be the one in the cockpit calling the shots. So I’m going to find a way to fly. Maybe I’ll use some of the money I have put away to start a private charter business.”

I’m relieved when Vince doesn’t laugh. He just looks thoughtful, nodding. “Yeah, I can see you doing that. Guys like us need to find something with a little adrenaline. It’ll be good for you.”

“It’s wild,” I say. “You wouldn’t think we would end up living a life like this. It seems too good for us, you know?”

Vince nods. “You’ll get used to it.” He taps the axe he’s still holding on the ground, looking distractedly at the way the blade catches the fading sunlight. “Mostly, at least. I’ve done what I can to turn the family around, to make an organization that’s legitimate and honest. I did it for Ethan, so he wouldn’t have to grow up without a father. Maybe you’ll find something similar. The truth is, the darkness never goes away completely. There are times I feel like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, like I don’t belong.” He laughs, shaking his head, as if making fun of himself.

I can’t help wondering if I’ll be him in a few years. Rather than scaring me, the thought is encouraging. If Vince was perfectly happy in his new life I would worry, because I don’t know that I’ll ever be perfectly happy. I’ll probably never get over the urge to hurt or even kill people who threaten what I care about. The darkness that waits just beneath the surface of my personality isn’t going away. But if Vince can make it work, I can too.

“You love her?” he asks suddenly.

The question surprises me, but I answer without hesitation. “Yes.” I stop, thinking about it for a little while, maybe for the first time, now that everything has calmed down. “Yeah, I really do. She’s all I think about. Drives me crazy, but in a good way, you know?”

Vince smirks. “Yeah. I know. She’ll get you through it, man. Every time it feels like the old life is trying to bring you back in, just remember her, remember that kid of yours. If you think they’re worth it, that’ll be all you need.”

“They’re worth it.”
