One Step Closer (Erotic Romance) Book 1 (The DeLuca Brothers) (7 page)

His pace was
deliberate and unhurried, each thrust taking him deep inside her. Sofia rocked
her hips, easily falling into the rhythm they'd established years ago. It was
new and old at the same time. Their bodies had changed and their experiences
had shaped them, allowing them to move in different ways even as their bodies
remembered each other.

Frank lowered his
head to Sofia's ear, taking her earlobe into his mouth and scraping his teeth
across it before letting it drop. He kept his voice pitched low.
“I love you, Sofia. Only you. Past, present and
future.”

Sofia turned her
head, her own words barely a breath. “It's
always been you, Frank. No one else before and no one else ever.”

He took her mouth
again, this time moving his lips with hers in a slow, deep kiss. His tongue
traced her bottom lip before sliding into her mouth to draw hers back between
his lips. He sucked on her tongue, sending a jolt of pleasure straight through
her. She could feel the pressure building inside of her. It wasn't like
yesterday, sudden and explosive. This was a steady burn, a fire being stoked
into a blaze. As Frank propped himself up on his elbows, the shift in position
changed the angle of penetration and the tip of his cock dragged across that
special spot inside her.

She cried out as the
heat of orgasm raced across her skin and he swallowed the sound. Every whimper
she made as he continued to thrust into her, sending wave after wave rolling
over her, he took, not allowing a single one to escape. Only when she'd quieted
did he release her kiss-swollen lips. His hips were moving faster now, his
strokes going deeper and Sofia knew that he was close.

“I need you to cum
for me,” Sofia whispered his own words back to him. “I need to feel you cum
before I can. Please, Frank, cum for me.”

His eyes widened in
recognition even as he drove into her. He buried his face in her neck, muffling
the sound as he cried out her name, his cock emptying deep inside her. Sofia
wrapped her arms around his neck, her hips still moving against his, giving her
the friction she needed to push herself over the edge once more.

Sofia held him as
they basked in the afterglow of their love-making, her fingers combing through
his sweat-soaked hair. She pressed her lips against his forehead and felt his
mouth move against her throat. As their breathing slowed and their heartbeats
returned to normal, Frank rolled off of her but didn't go far. He gathered her
in one arm and maneuvered them both beneath her covers. He pulled her against
him and she rested her head on his chest, the steady thrumming of his head
soothing her. She rested there, hovering on the edge of sleep, listening as
Frank's breaths deepened and he drifted off. Her mind was blissfully blank, her
body sated, and she began to drift off. Even as she did, images floated through
her mind. Wishes, fantasies, dreams, or events to come, she didn't know, but
she let them carrying her into the darkness.

The five DeLuca
brothers stood together at the far end of the yard, their matching tuxedos
emphasizing their resemblance. The music began and she took her first steps
down the make-shift aisle. Maria stood with Tommy, both beaming as they watched
her come forward.

Frank stood
behind her, his arms around her waist, his hands resting on the swell of her
belly. Tommy ran through the park, chasing the small black and white mutt he'd
chosen from the shelter.

She and Frank
pushed the stroller down the path, secure in the knowledge that their son was
in capable hands. Behind them, Gio helped Tommy launch his kite into the air.
Gio's wife watched from the park bench, their daughter cradled in her arms.

The DeLuca house
was filled to bursting. The boys and their wives were crammed into the living
room, the space made even more limited by the large tree in the corner and the
piles of presents beneath it. No one minded though, least of all the dozen kids
tearing through the upstairs. Occasionally one would venture down to ask if it
was time to open presents, only to be sent back upstairs with the rest. From
her seat next to the tree, Maria watched her family, her face shining with love
and pride. Across the room, Sofia caught her mother-in-law's eyes. They smiled
at each other, neither one needing words to know what the other was feeling.
This was everything they'd always wanted.
