"You may kiss the bride!" the priest says and Mateo's mouth is on mine before I knew it.

His lips touch mine and I part my mouth on instinct. His tongue slides my mouth and I can't help the moan that escape me... his hand comes around my neck, mine is around his waist, holding him tight... like it's the last time I could kiss him...

In the background I hear Celeb whistling and the people clapping. I back away from Mateo and look at the crowd.

I see Bella and Olivia smiling and Vanessa crying, Mateo's dad is just look at us, a little disgusted.

Shit!

"Don't worry about him" Mateo whispers in my ear whit a low voice. I feel shivers through my spine. "He is just jealous"

I smile and look at him and for the first time in a long time I see the Mateo I knew... the warm Mateo...

We all walk to the dance floor and I know what I need to do now... DANCING! And I CAN'T dance!

I look at Mateo who is leading me up the dance floor. I hold him still and whisper in his ear. "I can't dance..."

He looks at me and grins. "Don't worry, just follow my lead" he whispers back.

God! I hope this end well...

The music starts and Mateo's hand comes around my waist, my hand goes to his broad, muscular shoulder? God! They're muscular!

Our other hands entangle and I follow his lead. Surprisingly I don't fall.

"I told you" Mateo says as we swing around the room.

I nod and look at him... his blue eyes are so beautiful... soon after Bella and Celeb join us and so does Vanessa and Mateo's dad.

I blow a sigh of relieve when more people are dancing and their attention aren't on us anymore.

"I take you don't like the attention?" he ask and I nod.

"I... hate it..." I reply and look down, feeling my face heat up.

"Emily...?"

I look up at him.

"I..." he takes a deep breath "Never mind..."

Huh? Did he want to say something? It sounds serious...

We dance longer, look each other in the eye and I can't help but to notice the lust in his eyes... Are we going to do it tonight?

I feel my cheeks heat up more and Mateo smirks, but I keep my gaze low.

After a few seconds the song ends and everyone clap for us. Mateo hold me tight in his arm and I can't help but to feel protected by him.

I hug him back but he suddenly backs away and I'm a little shocked, so I backed away to... feeling the awkwardness between us...

"Hey, sister-in-law" Celeb says, breaking the silence. He hugs me in a brother-like hug.

He releases me and I stumble a little but Mateo is behind me, holding me straight.

"Emily, I would like you to meet my baby brother, Liam"

Liam, the youngest El Ricci brother. He is 15 now, I guess. Liam looks a lot more like Celeb, but he isn't Celeb or Mateo blood brother. Olivia told me his mom is an American underwear model and I need to say, Liam looks hot but not in a way that I'm attracted to him.

Liam has honey, blond hair and the same blue eyes all the El Ricci's had. His build is similar like Mateo, but not so muscular... I see that he is getting there; he must be a football player or something.

"Nice to finally meet you Mrs. El Ricci, you look stunning" Liam says, holding his hand out.

I smile and answer. "No need for formality, we are family and it's nice to meet you too Liam and thank you, you look good in a tuxedo" and take his hand. His hand is firm.

"I heard you are the psychologist here, so I guess my older brother finally had to nerves to call one" he says laughing and so does Celeb.

Mateo goes rigid against behind me. "Gut it out!"

They both stop laughing and look at him. Liam looks a little scared, that's weird...

When the next song comes up I got an idea...

"Liam, would you like to dance with me?" I ask him and I see relieve in his eyes. Before I could lead him to the dance floor, I feel Mateo gripping my arm, it hurts a little.

"Do you now?" Mateo asks in his deep, firm voice.

I look up at him, my eyes innocent and I put my cleavage on display. "Please...?"

Maybe if I look like this, he would let me have time alone with Liam.

His eyes go there and then he meets my eyes, we stare for a few beats longer and he sighs. "Fine, I will go to mom and dad and maybe to those Motherfuckers to, but come back if the next song end, understand!"

I nod.

I guess he meant the leaders...

"Do you understand, Emily!?"

"I do" I finally say softly and lead Liam to the dance floor.

"How did you do that? He never let someone do what they want" Liam asks and we swing through the crowd.

I chuckle. "I don't know, just asking nice I guess..."

He nods and looks at me.

"What?" I ask, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Nothing... I just... you don't look like the type who should marry my brother, that's all" he replies and I look shocked.

"Excuse me...?"

"No, not like that!" he takes a deep breath. "You look so innocent... too kind... I'm scared he is going to hurt you or something... you don't deserve that. I know it sound weird but I just feel people, you know" I nod and he continues. "When I saw you walking up to him, giving your vow, I already saw that you are a good person... so don't let my brother takes advantage of you, okay?" I nod again.

The song ends and he kiss me on the cheek. "I need to go, I see you at the diner, I guess..." before I could reply he is gone.

Diner? Is there a diner?

I look through the crowd and spot my husband instantly. How can I not if he is basically 6.3 feet... I'm 5.6 feet so there is a big difference in our heights...

I walk up to him and he immediately spots me, giving me his usually grin.

God! I love that!

"Gino, Tyler, this is my wife, Emily El Ricci" he says and place his hand on my lower back. I feel shiver there but ignore it. How is it possible that he makes me feel like this?

"Nice to meet you, Emily" the guy, I assume Gino, says in his Italian accent. Yup, those two are the leaders... Gino stares at my cleavage last minutes and I feel exposed. I think Mateo noticed because he has his gun out.

The whole room gasps and gathers around us now, the gun is now on Gino.

"Whoa! Whoa! I'm sorry" Gino says in Italian, and yes, I can speak Italian a little because it was interesting to learn and now it comes in handy I pretend not to understand him, because I don't Mateo to know I can speak and understand Italian... "But be honest, she asks it, I mean..." he point at my cleavage. "Look at it-"

"-I DON'T FUCKING CARE!!! SHE IS MY WIFE SO YOU NEED TO LOOK AT AN OTHER CLEAVAGE! THIS ONE IS MINE!" Mateo yells and Gino puts his hand in surrender.

"I understand, I apologize..." he looks at me. "I'm sorry, It won't happen again, Mrs. El Ricci" I nod and Mateo puts his gun back.

"Let's go! I want to get the fuck out of here!" he looks at the people. "WE WILL GO! THERE IS FREE FOOD AND DRINKS SO TAKE WHAT YOU WANT!"

He walks away from the crowd, taking my hand with him.

Kevin and James follow us but my husband stops them. "I am capable to get my wife home safe! You two can come back tomorrow"

"Enjoy the party!" I say last minutes and Mateo look at me. "Sorry"

He accepts my apology I guess because he doesn't say anything anymore.

"Mrs. El Ricci, enjoy your evening" Kevin says and they both takes off.

"You seem close with Kevin" Mateo says as he opens the door for me. I just have changed my dress for something more comfortable. A white, short dress... it looks beautiful and kind of sexy... Thank you Olivia!

"Yes, I am and SHIT!" I put my arms around myself. "It's cold!"

It may be April but its cold as hell in the evening!

"Wait" Mateo says and I look at him, he takes his coat off and puts it around my shoulders. This is warm... I smell him to...I moan a little in pleasure and he stiffen.

"I will get the car! Wait here!" I nod as he takes off.

We are in the elevator. I feel his gaze on me but I don't dare to look.

"You..." he starts. "You looked gorgeous up there... with the dress..." he trailed off and I dare to look at him.

"Thank you, you looked good to in a suit" I say and he chuckles.

"I always wear one, but thanks, I get what you mean..."

There is an awkward silence and I can't take it anymore so I start talking. "Why didn't you come home for a week? I know you can do what you want but...I just felt...lonely..." I say the last word quietly.

"The club was busy; I also had to do some stuff here and there..."

Probably fucking his flings I guess...

I feel my heart drop, it hurts and I don't know why... I don't care about him!

"It's not what you think! I was busy taking Manhattan over" he says and the door finally opens.

I breathe a sigh of relieve.

Mateo walks before me, opening the door. I follow him and decide to do something bold... as Mateo backs is on me I pull of my dress, letting it sink to the floor. I didn't wear a bra just for this... the air is cold and makes my nipples hard... When Mateo turns around, his mount is open, taking me in... his eyes rooms over my whole body, feeling shivers creep up over whole body. His eyes trail my breast, my belly, my womanhood and finally back up to my face. My breath hitch as we lock eyes... his eyes aren't blue anymore, no... they're mostly black and with lust...

"I want you Mateo"
