We landed and I’m still a blubbering mess. Landon and Leo sent me back with Alex, Mark and only 2 others. Gio and everyone else stayed with them. Alex tried to help me down the stairs. I think he was scared I was going to fall. I was such a mess.

They all left me alone in the bedroom with only the flight attending coming to check on me to see if I wanted any food or water.

Ma and Tom were there waiting for me. Ma engulfed me in her bone crushing hug “Oh my daughter. Dey will be fine. Come, you need food and a good drink.”

I was surprised when even Tom then gave me a hug. “Try not to worry about them.”

They guided me to the car and Ma sat with me in the back seat. It took her all of 2 seconds after we settled to suddenly grab my hand and squeal “You’re engaged! Finally!” she examined the ring “It is perfect! Oh, we have to start organising da wedding. Dat will keep us busy.”

“I want to wait until they are back and safe before I do anything.” Hopefully, that will keep her at bay for a while and, honestly, I couldn’t think of anything worse right now. I just want to go and drown in my bath with 50 bottles of baileys.

“Oh course. Now we dought it best you stay wit us. I will not take no for an answer my daughter. Let me look after you.”

I really didn’t want to, but at the same time I didn’t know how I would go sitting in our house by myself, freaking out, so I just nodded.

Ma rambled on about how she had started everything with the Russo’s and would continue on until I was ready. I said I would actually like to start tomorrow after a good night’s sleep. Hopefully, that will help get my mind off things.

Gi and Louie were waiting back at the house and both engulfed me with massive hugs before Gi led me to the same spare room as last time. The bath had already been run and had a small table with baileys and an antipasto assortment ready for me.

I spent the next sad and sorrowful week putting my head down and bum up working. Landon and Leo would constantly call and text to check up on me and tell me how much they loved me. It helped, but I still knew they were in a lot of danger and didn’t like it.

Everyone tried their best to cheer me up and tried my best to act like I was fine, but I wasn’t even fooling myself, let alone anyone else.

As the second week was coming to an end, I couldn’t even really think straight. What the hell had happened to me? I used to be a strong, independent woman and here I was losing myself.

I finally slapped myself, told myself to get a grip and decided it was time to take Maree and Angela up on their offer and ship myself off to northern Italy to go over everything they do some much needed sightseeing!

We were setting up distribution centres and soup-type kitchens in Sicily and Southern Italy, to start with, that match what they have up north. I had seen photos and floor plans but it was good to actually see it in person.

I tried not to be annoyed about the number of guards I had to take and the talk I got from Tom about being careful at all times but anything to get away.

From my personal pep talk and the fact that I was out of the compound, I felt a lot better. I still missed my men like crazy, but that was to be expected or I shouldn’t have this ring on my finger. Yes, the massive rocks on my finger that blind you from the sun and get everyone’s attention.

I had even been called Mrs Rinaldi already by a few people here and there. I didn’t correct them and just smiled. One of the times was when I was with Gi, Alexis and the girls. Gi had brought the gang up for the weekend to check on me and she knew Alexis would not let me mope still.

“Yes Mrs Rinaldi. What would you like?” Alexis smiled at me, batting her eyelids, enjoying the moment. Gi and the others sat there with massive smiles on their faces and I just knew that Gi was going to tell Landon and Leo about this as well.

All I could do was roll my eyes and answer the waitress. How the hell did they know who I was… wait! Those silly Italian social pages! Of course!

Well done Kate!

It had been another big day and I was starting to miss home. I have been up with her for 10 days now, so probably time to head home.

I started a bath even though the Suite had a full-time chef/maid/cleaner/amazing woman that was my favourite person in the world right now, as she handed me my bottle of baileys and a glass of ice, I still like to do things for myself. Shock horror!

I thanked her for it and told her to go home and rest and not to worry about breakfast as I would eat on my way to the factory.

I had rented 2 lovely suites in a hotel close to the beach, 1 for me and 1 for the guards, as I didn’t want to intrude in the Russo hospitality even though Maree told me to stop being dramatic and stay with them. I just couldn’t do that, especially since I didn’t know if I was going to keep my big girl panties up or start sobbing about missing my men again.

It had been a long few weeks. I relaxed in the bath and thought about organising a flight back in 2 days. I would let Ma know after my bath.

I sat back and enjoyed the quiet and, my baileys.

I heard the door open and peeked confused as to why she was back when I saw my 2 Adonis’s instead.

I sprinted so fast out of that bath and threw my wet soapsuds covered body at the closest one to me, which was Landon, of course. He caught me laughing, wrapping his arms around me as Leo walked around and engulfed me from behind. I was in the best sandwich ever!

All my emotions caught up with me and I was a blubbering mess within milliseconds, holding onto them for dear life.

They were here!

They were alive and well! Wait…

“Are you both OK?” I quickly pushed them back and started to scan them both and ran my hands over them both like a mad woman. They both laughed at me and let me, knowing I needed to do this.

Finally, I stopped almost panting and looking into their eyes.

“Breathe Amore. We are alright.” He held my face in his hands as the sobs started again.

“Better than alright now” Leo kissed my neck and g*****d as he let his hands start wandering over my naked body. “Stop crying my love, we are here now.” He couldn’t help but start to grind into the back of me.

That had me laughing. Of course, he couldn’t help himself.

Landon wiped my tears away with his thumbs as he smiled at me. His eyes were full of longing and love.

I went on my tiptoes and kissed him hard. I needed to make sure he really was here, they were here.

Leo’s hand slowly snaked around from my h*p to the bottom of my belly and down as he kissed my neck as Landon and I tried to dominate each other. I was losing.

A m**n escaped me as his fingers found gold in the form of my needy clit. He stroked it slowly before I moved my legs apart so he could put 1 then 2 fingers in me.

I started ripping at Landon’s clothes to get them off. He half helped me as he chuckled into my lips. He was just too busy enjoying my desperation. My body was alert and I needed them now!

I started guiding Landon backwards towards the bed as his pants and boxers fell on the ground. He kicked his shoes off and fumbled to get his socks off as I m****d into his mouth. Leo had not let up on his assault, but I was trying so hard not to come. I needed the real thing and I need it now. I swear my lady parts just started chanting ‘f**k me’.

My skin was burning up with want and every nerve ending was pulsing.

I pushed my big bad mafia boss onto the bed with a smile. He laughed and let me before shimmying up a bit more on the bed. Leo finally pulled his fingers out and I heard the sucking noise and his g***n, as I guessed, he then put them in his mouth. I crawled up Landon and positioned him straight away to my entrance and sank down on him.

We both g*****d at the feeling. He grabbed hold of my h**s and started to thrust up in rhythm to me. I heard the rustling of clothing behind me so knew Leo was quickly getting undressed as well.

“I have missed you and this p***y” Landon grunted and threw his head back.

My body felt alive for the first time in what felt like years when it really had only been a month.

2 large calloused hands came from behind and engulfed my breasts as sloppy k****s went down my shoulder. Oh god I have missed this, missed them!

I grabbed one of the hands and pulled it down to where I wanted it, on my clit. Leo chuckled into my skin “Yes ma’am!” he murmured and bit me lightly. Oh crap, not another biter, since when did he start? I was on the edge in seconds.

“Oh god Landon. Harder!” I g*****d as I tried to go faster and leaned back into Leo to give him better access to my clit.

Landon held on tighter as he thrust up harder “Come for me Amore. I need to feel you…”

And that was the last word he got out before my body exploded and I squeezed him for dear life as I shook like there was an earthquake was happening. I came so hard. I think I just found a new galaxy without even looking up out into the night sky.

Landon followed quickly after “Fuuuuccccckkkkkk.” He grit through his teeth.

As soon as he had stopped, I was pulled up, so I was on my hands and knees and Leo entered me swiftly. He didn’t start slowly, his need too much for him, as he started pounding into me with everything he had in him straight away.

“Oh, I’m not going to last long. You feel so good!” he thrust only a couple of more times before he came as well grunting and groaning as he did. My body was still buzzing from my o****m, so I enjoyed every minute of it and didn’t’ mind not coming again. I almost felt like I was still riding through my release anyway. It just felt so good!

Leo held onto me, still not pulling out as he caught his breath. Landon leaned up and captured my lips again.

It felt like a dream! I had my men back. My men!

I didn’t need to hold them tight that night as they weren’t letting me go either. Not that we got much sleep. It didn’t take long until we were all ready for round 2 and 3 before Leo was the first one that was out for the count. I had just climbed off him and Landon was washing me down when we heard his soft snores and turned to see him out for the count.

Landon and I finished getting cleaned up, cleaned him up as well, even though I don’t think he really noticed and climbed in under the covers. I snuggled in the middle with my back to Leo and my front facing Landon. Leo instinctively turned and spooned me, putting his arm around me making me giggle.

Landon stroked my face. “f**k I’ve missed you.”

“Nope, missed you more.” I poked my tongue out at him.

He picked up my hand and examined my engagement ring again. “It’s still perfect. You don’t know how happy you have made me, us.”

“Well, you had better prove it by not leaving me again. I turned into a blubbering, hopeless mess. I was horrified at myself.”

He chuckled “We will try not to.”

“So what happened?”

“I will tell you in the morning. I promise. Right now I just want to tell the most beautiful woman in the world I love her.” He caressed my cheek again.

“Well, you did that. Now what happened?” he laughed at me and kissed me to shut me up. I wasn’t going to complain about that.

I woke up to Leo between my legs sucking my clit as he entered 2 fingers into me, he must have slept well. God I missed this!

It didn’t take long before I exploded on his fingers. He looked up at me with a goofy grin before climbing up me and entering me slowly. “Good morning my love.”

“Really? Why?” I teased as he thrust into me.

Landon wasn’t in bed and I was starting to wonder where he was until I heard a gorgeous husky chuckle come from the doorway. I forced my eyes open as my body was too busy enjoying every inch of the glorious man currently thrusting into me slowly, to see Landon lean against the bathroom doorway with a beautiful big smile on his face.

Oh god, I missed my men!

I closed my eyes again and held onto Leo, digging my nails in.

“Can we try something Amore? You can say no.” Landon was suddenly whispering in my ear.

I was on cloud nine and hearing his voice had me instantly saying yes without thinking about it.

I felt movement beside me as Landon tilted my head to look at him. “Tell me to stop if you don’t like it.” And then kissed me, making me forget he asked me anything. Oh god my men!

He pulled back smiling before Leo took, over my lips quickly before pulling one of my legs up and over his shoulder.

My eyes popped wide open when I felt something wet, slippery and hard probe my back end. I looked at Landon who was searching my face to see if I was going to stop him.

Leo slowed down and searched my face as well before looking at Landon.

“I’ll go real slow OK and can pull out any time you want.” Landon continued to stare at my face as I tried to relax.

He slowly pushed forward with I assume was his finger. It felt wrong still to start with, but with the sensation of Leo still slowly thrusting into me, it didn’t feel as bad and seemed to bring on a new sensation, or maybe that was just because my body was already super sensitive.

Leo started to rub my clit as his thrusts started to increase again and Landon started pumping his fingers in and out of me.

I was confused and stimulated and I don’t know! My body took over though and I exploded, bringing Leo with me.

“So f*****g perfect!” Landon practically growled into my lips before picking me up and taking me into the bathroom.

He had run me a bath! He went to lower me in but I stopped him.

“Wait a minute!”

He searched my face, almost frozen with concern. “What’s wrong?”

“I want you to take me on the counter first, then I will have a bath. But you better f**k me stupid first.”

His grin would win any competition as he let out a bellowing laugh “as you wish Amore.”

He sat me on the counter before bringing me to the edge, lining himself up and thrusting into me. I knew he was hard, I could feel his massive erecting brush against me as he carried me.

My arse was a little sensitive as he thrust into me but I just ignored it as I enjoyed my man. It didn’t take long before he released and swore as always. I love how he swears when he o*****s.

We finally sat down to have breakfast and they gave me the briefest run downs in history, but I know they are just trying to protect me.

They weren’t sure what Gabe planned on that night at the hotel, but Safe House 2 was hit after it was put out we were going there. When we weren’t found, that is when they went after the other safe houses. No one was killed but some were seriously injured at houses 2 and 5.

They thought Gabe was working undercover for the police, but he was double playing them in trying to take Ben down and become the new boss of New York. Nico says he was promised the role of second in charge and was promised he could even choose a city of his own if it went well, but as Gabe was killed early on, they don’t know if this is true.

Gave had been watching Landon and Leo for a while through Francesco, but that came crashing down when Francesco was killed. Nico ended up really spilling his guts and admitted Gabe was even going to use Francesco to also make a play for Italy. They had been investigating all the claims to see if they could be proven, since Gage was now dead.

They had been trying to pretend Gabe was still alive and not killed just before they flew me back to see what else they could uncover. He had set up quite a bit of a network but most were more than happy to rat him out and say they thought he was working under orders from Ben.

All in all, Ben had his city back, Maxine was always safe, which I knew, as I had been keeping in regular contact with her as well, most traitors had been tracked down and my men were back with me.
