Alexander Ferrari was a dork. He completely surprised me with his personality. At first I just thought he was a handsome flirt but now I know that he's a handsome flirty dork.

He was five years older than me but I couldn't help to think that he was adorable. We were on a rooftop restaurant that he had rented just for the two of us. It was absolutely stunning and we had amazing view over the city. The food was also delicious and we had a big appetite in common.

"This is Luna. She's quite attached to me. Earlier she was crying because I was leaving." He showed me pictures of his pets.

Luna was a Chartreuse. She had a beautiful thick grey coat and adorable brown eyes. She was still a kitten and I wanted to pet her.

I really like animals and I always wanted a dog but Diana was allergic and Silas told me that we already had Nicolas.

"Do they get along?" I wondered.

Luna had siblings. She had an older brother named Milo, who was a Holy Burmese. Then there was Will who was the oldest and a brown Doberman.

"Luna has us all wrapped around her little paw. I swear I'm going to spoil the shit out of my daughter one day." Alexander chuckled.

I smiled warmly and leaned closer to him. Earlier he had wrapped his jacket around me and also placed a warm blanket on my exposed legs. It was still summer but the nights could get so cold.

"I want to meet them."

Tonight had been wonderful and I felt very relaxed around Alexander. Besides I really wanted to snuggle with his pets. They look so adorable.

"So you want to go to my place, hm?" He smirked and cupped my face.

I was blushing. He was incredibly attractive and I felt like everything he'd say would turn me on. His deep voice sent shivers down my spine straight to my core.

"I want to pet your babies." I shrugged.

"I'm quite protective over the ones I love. Convince me why I should let you see them." He pulled me closer.

My chest fell against his and I smirked slightly. I gazed at him from under my eyelashes. His gaze darkened and he tensed when my hand fell on his abs.

"Because I want to pet them."

"Not convincing enough, bellissima." He muttered pulling me even closer.

I bit down on my underlip to try to calm myself. His eyes fell on my lips before he raised his thumb to free my underlip. He held his thumb against my lips for a while and I was tempted to suck on it.

What the actual fuck?

"I'm an animal lover. I've always wanted a pet." I spoke.

"Give me a kiss and I'll consider it." He grinned.

I was already into him and I couldn't find the strength to just pull away. So I leaned in more and pressed my lips against his. We melt together and I kissed him like we've done this a million times before.

He was perfect.

His lips felt soft and tender. He pushed his hand further in my hair and tightened his other arm around my waist. My hands cupped his face before going up in his silky hair.

He deepened our kiss and suddenly licked my lip to ask permission to use his tongue. I just opened my mouth willingly and let him explore me. A moan broke out of me and I gripped his hair tightly.

Halfway through our kiss, he hoisted me up on his lap and cradled me close to his chest. My core moved against his hard on and it made me shiver with need.

"You're so fucking delicious." He whispered against my lips.

I think my ovaries just exploded.

How am I supposed to react to that? My eyes went to his and he grinned softly before kissing me again. He held my lower lip between his for a while before he released me again.

I was out of breath.

"You're perfect, Elena. I'm never letting you go."

My heart was racing and I was trying to catch my breath. He cupped my chin to take a closer look at my face. I could tell that my cheeks were flushed and my lips were probably swollen from kissing so much.

"You're never this quiet, belissima." He chuckled.

I didn't trust my tongue right now. Not when it just sucked the hell out of his.

"Come on, baby, talk to me." He left a trail of kisses on my jawline.

Fuck, this was insane.

"You say those things to other girls as well?" I muttered.

He raised my chin even higher as he leaned in. I felt his breath on my lips and his other hand went around my waist, he squeezed my left hip tightly.

"No, these words are meant for you."

Such pretty words, but were they true? I was feeling a bit insecure which only meant that I was very into him.

"Be my girlfriend, bellissima. I'll buy you good food." He promised.

That was all I wanted in a man: the providence of good food.

I was a simple woman after all.

"What would you buy me?" I questioned like a detective.

There was only one right answer.

He grinned and pecked my nose.

"Cake pops."

Fuck.

He got it right.

But I wasn't just going to give in to him.

"How many?" I asked sternly.

"I'll buy you as many as you want."

How was I supposed to say no to that? I could buy them myself but food always tastes better if someone else buys it for you.

"And you'll let me pet your babies however much I want?" I cupped his face again with my hands.

He grinned widely and nodded. I smiled and kissed him again. Maybe it's because it's been a long time since I've kissed somebody, but I was hungry for more. Or it's because he was quite addicting.

I hadn't planned on making out with him on our first day but it's what I wanted to do right now. My therapist told me that it was good to listen to your wants. I was trying to listen to her but I didn't want to completely loose myself in him.

"When do you want to see my babies?" He whispered against my neck as I climbed off his lap.

The night air was only getting colder so I hugged his jacket closer to my body.

"Already asking me out on a second date?" I grinned.

He chuckled and laid his arm around me. I was pressed up against his side and enjoyed the warmth his body gave. My eyes went to the skyline of New York City. It was so beautiful out here and I felt really good in this moment.

There will be a lot that I have to figure out first. Alexander and I would never go out on dates out in the open. My brothers would loose their marbles. But if he could make me feel so good already, then I didn't want to let him go.

My brothers all had their happiness and I felt like I was heading towards mine.

"Lips swollen." Cecelia stated.

"She has a hickey on her jaw." Amelia added.

"She's beaming." Eunha giggled.

My three best friends stood in my room. They'd barged in here too early in the morning and woke me up while I was still asleep. I came home late last night and I had one of the best sleeps of my life. I felt content and excited.

"It's nine in the morning." I groaned and hugged the comforter closer to my body.

The bitches had opened the blinds.

"You'll get to sleep later. First, you have to tell us everything!" Cecelia sat me up.

I groaned again but she nudged me. I rubbed my eyes and sighed deeply as I watched them crawl on my bed. I wanted to cuss them out but then Eunha gave me that cute smile and I couldn't find myself to curse.

"He rented out a rooftop restaurant. We had view over the City. We were alone and ate a lot of food. It was really nice." I spoke.

"That's the boring stuff. We wanna know about the kissing!" Cecelia wove me off.

I rolled my eyes at her but Amelia nudged my foot. Why was she so excited? She had a boyfriend herself and they never missed out on any action. Jesus, when she takes Henry here, I go sleep at home because they're loud as fuck.

"We made out. A couple of times." I grinned.

That was the best kiss of my life and I kept replaying the scene in my mind. Eunha giggled loudly and launched herself onto me.

"You're smiling!" She beamed.

I was. That kiss made me feel some type of way.

"Of course, the sexy man knows how to kiss. From what I've heard, he's kissed almost the entirety of the city." Cecelia laughed.

My smile dropped quickly. He told me that I was different from the women that he's had in the past and I hated feeling insecure. But I still was.

Now I was going to start overthinking everything.

"He won't play around with you, Elle. He's literally risking his life to go on a date with you. You aren't a simple flirt. He could loose his position and life." Amelia stopped me from overthinking.

She was right. He was risking his life. I couldn't deny the connection I felt with him. He obviously felt it too and he was probably as far gone as me if he risked his life for this.

"Don't underestimate yourself, bitch! You're the hottest woman I know." Cecelia told me with a firm look.

I nodded softly and laid back down. All I need was a bit of sleep now. But then Amelia dragged me back up.

"Family lunch." She reminded me.

I groaned again but she dragged me out of bed. Now I had to hide the hickeys.

////////////

"You should just tell mom that you're into Alexander. She can make our brothers back down." Amelia whispered in my ear as we entered the foyer of our family home.

I could already hear our loud ass family. It was Saturday but they were loud every day. That's why Amelia and I moved out because it was too hectic for our student life.

What she said made sense. Mom helped me get back together with Daniel years ago and she was the reason why Henry had been allowed to propose to Amelia. But Henry wasn't Alexander. Henry was an outsider and a star quarterback. He got easily intimidated by our brothers which made him easy to control for them.

Alexander was their Capo. He resembled them too much which is exactly why this was going to be harder.

But I could try.

"Auntie!" My favourite nephew jumped into my arms when we stepped into the dining room.

I hugged him close to my chest and repeatedly kissed his chubby cheeks. He really was the cutest three year old.

No, you can't argue with me on that.

"Tata made pancakes!" He smiled brightly.

Tata was his nickname for Greta. I looked at the table and noticed a huge pack of pancakes next to a lot more food. We were a big family with a lot of men who ate more than their body weight.

"Did she? How many are you going to eat?" I asked him.

Amelia went around the room to greet the others but I sat down with Fabio. He wanted to sit on my lap and help him with his pancakes. I loved feeding him. He always did a little happy dance when he ate something delicious.

This kid makes me want to have kids.

"So how was your first club experience?" Dahlia grinned from her seat next to Hector.

Her belly came out from under the table and she had a huge stack of pancakes on her plate. Hector was frowning at it but he didn't comment. Dahlia was pregnant but she got even more deadlier. A few weeks ago she stabbed Silas with a pencil because he took away her cookies.

"Good. I had fun." I fed Fabio a piece of the pancake.

He did his little dance again and I couldn't stop my smile from growing.

"You also went to Sphinx." Hector commented.

I already knew that my bodyguards told him everything so I wasn't surprised. But I couldn't act out of the ordinary or he'd pick up on it.

"Yeah, they have better music." Amelia commented.

I nodded in agreement.

"I pick out the music arrangements at Notte." Silas scoffed offended.

"Exactly." I stated.

He was dating one of the most talented music artists in this world but his music taste was shit. It made my ears bleed. There's literally a rule that Silas was not allowed the AUX in the car.

It was for public safety and our sanity.

"Nobody ever complains." He snapped while crossing his arms over his chest.

"They're right, babe. Your music arrangements aren't good." Belle spoke up.

She recently came back from her world tour. She was always booked and busy but whenever she had free time, she was always here with her boyfriend.

"Come on, tiny. Are you picking their sides?" Silas sounded more than offended.

Tiny was the lamest nickname ever but it made sense when you put those two next to each other. Belle was five foot two and Silas was six foot five. He was a big muscle man while Bella was agile and slim.

"Of course, she is. We all know your music taste sucks." Dahlia laughed.

"Once you pop that baby out, you'll regret ever talking to me like that and stabbing me with a fucking pencil." Silas spat at her.

"Language!" Theo hissed.

I don't know why he still tries. Our entire house cusses all the time and Fabio already picked up on it. I've heard Fabio say fuck two times already.

"I'd like to see you try." Hector glared at Silas.

I chuckled at their craziness. I miss their crazy asses a lot.

"Fucking pussy whipped." Silas commented.

"As if you aren't pussy whipped for Belle. The walls aren't thick, idiot." Leonardo muttered.

Belle turned red while I burst out in laughter. Fabio joined me because he simply wanted to be in all the fun. Amelia nearly choked on her drink and Victor was softly patting her back with an amused smile. Even Ariana was holding back a smile.

"Good, then you know what good sex sounds like." Silas rolled his eyes.

"Fake orgasms don't equal good sex." Dahlia smirked.

That's how all our family gatherings went. They were chaotic but honestly the highlight of my days.
