The band surrounds Cora and engulfs her in a group hug. I can see the tears running down her face and it makes me have to wipe mine. I’m so happy for her.
Unknown Text: I hope you didn’t think I gave up. Just because you ran away to Chicago, doesn’t mean you’re safe. I’ll be seeing you soon
I immediately show Tristan the text and we go and find Sebastiano.
“I actually hoped that whoever it was had given up. I guess fucking not.” Sebastiano sighs.
“Why are they waiting so long in between? I know it sounds stupid, but it would be easier if they would just come out and fuck with us already.” Tristan frowns.
“I agree, but maybe this one means they’re going to finally show their face to us.”
“I just want Lily to be safe. I’m tired of wondering if every person I see is going to try and hurt her.”
“We’re going to figure this out.”
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Lily
After the barbecue, I think my parents have a different view on the Mancinis and Bastianinis. And they even gave Tristan a hug before they left. The best part of tonight was watching Cora with the band. I don’t think she’s stopped smiling yet. And we’re having dinner with them tomorrow night.
“Thank you for tonight.” I say to Tristan as we’re getting ready for bed.
“Do you think your parents had fun?” he asks.
“I do. And I think they’re rethinking how they felt about your family.”
“I hope so. I really want your parents to like me. Because if they like me, then it’ll be easier to get your brothers to like me.”
I laugh. My brothers are going to be a hard ones. They’re very protective of me. But I’ve told him all about Huxley and Ansel. Even knowing how my brothers are, I’m actually excited for them to meet Tristan. I know they’re going to see how happy I am with him and they’re going to accept that he’s the one for me.
Every night we’ve slept in the same bed, he’s been such a gentleman. But I’m wondering if he’s not interested in me the way I am in him. I know he says he wants to be with me, but I need to know if he wants all of me. As we get into bed, I turn to him.
“Are you attracted to me? I mean physically.” I ask softly.
“Of course I am. Why would you ask that?”
“Because you’ve never tried to have sex with me.”
“Lily, the only reason I haven’t tried is because I wanted to make sure you’re ready for that. I want it to be your choice. Not just mine. Because I’ve wanted you from the first night we met at the club.”
I can’t believe how lucky I am to have Tristan. After Carson left, I thought I was unlovable. I mean nine years with him and he just left me. No note, no phone call, nothing. Tristan has shown me I’m worthy of being loved and cherished. And I want to give him every part of me.
I run my hand on his chest and kiss him.
“I want you.” I say as I kiss my way down his chest. I’m ready to show him how much he means to me.
I slowly pull his boxers down and smile up at him.
“Are you sure?” he whispers.
I answer by wrapping my lips on his cock.
“Holy fuck.” He moans.
I lick the underside of his cock as I play with his balls, making him moan a little louder. I wrap my hand around his cock and suck on the head of his cock. I look up at him and watch his face as I move a little faster.
“Baby. Fuck.”
