Dante Pov

Its Sunday and Donna is coming back today. Im not gonna lie Im kind of shitting myself, my little sister can be scary sometimes. Just like mother, you know never to cross the Moretti woman, they are evil little people. So I asked Donna to come see me tonight after she has had her rest a little, I want her to know about Gattino and me and I want them both to move to the Mansion.

I know she only left the Mansion because she couldn't handle Stefano sleeping around even though she covered that saying 'I need personal space' whatever that shit means. Rolling my eyes, she really thinks I can't see shit. Sure Damian is dumb when it comes to her but I thought she knew me better. No one can hide shit from me, just because I haven't confronted both of them about their 'feelings' is because I don't fucking want to. Thats not my thing. And she won't be with Stefano until I'm sure I won't kill him. Simple.

I'm sitting in my office trying to do all this work I have delayed since I have been spending some time with Nicole, she is amazing to say the least, I simply can't get her off my mind. I haven't had sex with her because I could see that she isn't ready for that yet, which makes me okay with it by the way and also the fact that she wants Donna to accept us before we even continue with this thing we got going on.

That's not going to stop me from tasting her though, and sure she can't stop me even if she tried. Her taste is too addictive. Its cute how she gets all red after as to say she's embarrassed, I don't care though as long as my kitten is happy and satisfied then Im good.

Its late afternoon and I hear a knock, I say a quick come in and there she is, my beautiful sister who is about to kick my ass. "Ciao fratello!" she squeals hopping on my lap and kissing my left cheek, "got off my lap before I push you down sorellina" I scowl at her. "Wow, I'm trying to show you some love but always got to be a debby downer" she gets off and sits on top of my desk.

"So what do you want to talk about big bro?" Getting up from my chair to the bar, she is too close, she could strangle me "Listen, try to be open minded before you go monkey on me, okay?" She raises an eyebrow and stands up scowling at me "What.did.you.do?"

Sighing oh well This is it for me, "I'm interested in Nicole. And before you start jumping on me, I have never told you I liked someone which kind of makes this new. I'm not trying to separate you from your friend and no she isn't playing you to get to me. I just wanted you to know I'm pursuing her to be my Queen, and she will be whether you like it or not" I say all this looking at my outside view swirling my glass of bourbon.

She starts laughing, I turn around and look at her confused, why isn't she mad?! "Oh my God, Fratello you should have seen your face, you actually thought I was going to go monkey on you?" I shrug "you're a weird human being, who knows what you'll do" she giggles and hugs my back.

"I know you like her Brother , I saw how you looked at her at the Cafe, like the way Papa looks at mama. I'm not mad at you, It's just she's too innocent for this world, I don't know if she could handle the power our family holds. I don't even know if she'll accept us. We are criminals" she squeezes me and tip toes to kiss my cheek.

"We are what we are sorellina, but she doesn't have a choice but to accept this family and be part of it. Only way she could escape me is death and thats not happening anytime soon, so don't worry, She's stronger than you think" she nods "Maybe she is"

"You guys are moving to the mansion tonight, I don't like both of you not under my roof" . She lets go of me and scowls "No we're not. I don't need babying and Nicole can't just move to a mansion because you say so. I think the fuck not!" I growl and turn to look at her, my jaw clenched "I do not repeat myself Donna, you are moving back!" Turning around "go pack, I better see you both at Dinner or I'm going to burn that damn apartment and drag you both out!" She mumbles something about hating me and puts so much energy in closing my door after she leaves.

I don't know why she doesn't understand no one says no to me even family, I don't have time for bullshit, either go with what I say or be punished. Its simple, family or not, I don't fucking care. I get what I want always.

Nicole

I just came back from my Sunday shift and I know Donna is probably back by now. Feeling nervous, I have never kept a secret before and I'm sure Donna will see right through me. But I can't help it, Dante is like a drug to me, he is always on my mind day and night. I really like him but there is something about him I can't figure out, something he could be hiding from me maybe.

He said he would tell Donna today about us, well about him liking me. To make me feel better I guess. I just don't want to lose Donna as my Friend just because of some Italian greek god. She is more important to me than anyone.

Walking in the apartment I see all suitcases mine and Donnas' next to the door. Confused I yell out "Donna! Are you back?" She comes down the stairs and engulfs me in a big hug "Oh my God! I missed you Nicki!" She Giggles "I missed you too D. What's going on?" "Oh we are moving to the Mansion, Dante doesn't want us staying alone anymore so he is making us move" she rolls her eyes

"Why? we are fine here" "I know, thats what I told him but he insisted we move back" I nodded "um.. whats left to pack?" "Oh Nothing we could just leave now, someone's going to bring the bags to the Mansion" I take my purse and once we're are done taking our personal belongings a guy comes in and takes our bags, we leave the key to him and go straight to the mansion. Why would he want us moving in there, did he even tell Donna about us. Oh my God! Why is she acting normal? He probably didn't tell her.

"So Nicki, do you have anyone you're interested in since I left?" She says side eyeing me and smirking. I gulp "uhm.... I don't think so" she sighs. "Nicki I know you like my brother, I'm not dumb. I see the way you blush when you look at him or shy away. I know you're scared of losing our friendship but I trust you like family, anyone who deserves an ass kicking would always be my brother so chill, okay"

I look at her wide eyed, she knows?! I'm really bad at hiding stuff though so I can understand that. "And I know Dante has been sleeping at the apartment this last week" I cover my face, I'm so embarrassed right now "how do you know?" She winks and smirks "I just do" I look away to the window.

"Listen, my brother has been hurt before, he has loved once and that ended with betrayal. That caused him to lock everyone out even us, his own siblings, he focuses more on business than family. He really likes you I can see that, his walls could break if you just stay loyal to him and show him how to love again. I know this is a lot for one person but you are the only person who could save him from whatever dark path he is in."

I look at her shocked "I-I don't know if I c-could do that" I say blushing. She smiles at me "you'll see" we go back to comfortable silence until we get to the mansion. I see Stefano by the front talking on the phone, We wave at him and he nods going back to his conversation. "His brother is coming out in two weeks, if you think Stefano is scary, wait till you see Stephen" she laughs, I gulp.

We see Maria smiling at us and quickly hugs us "oh my babies, I'm so happy you're going to be staying here, this house needed more Ladies anyways, too much testosterone" we giggle at her and walk deeper in the house. I wonder where he is, blushing to my stupid self I tune in back to the conversation.

"Donna you know your room but piccolo here is moving to the guest room she slept in last time" astonished I ask "why? I could stay in the room next to Donnas'" Maria smiles "Boss's orders my love" I nod and look down. "Alright go freshen up, dinner will be ready in two hours" we nod and head to our rooms.

Walking up the stairs my heart feels like its beating out of my chest, somehow nervous to see him, even after being with him the last week, he still makes me nervous. I walk faster to the room not noticing someone is already there.

Getting in my new room, surprised to see the man of the hour standing by the window looking at the outside nature view. "Hi" I squealed he chuckles and turns around and man he looks good in black.

He comes closer and holds my waist dragging me to his chest while putting his face on the crook of my neck. "Ciao Gattino" his voice sounding hoarse and tired. I hold his shirt in my tiny fists "y-you sound tired" my voice ever so soft and shy. He lifts his head and holds my chin making me look at him. My God this man is beautiful, he smirks and kisses me.

It feels like forever and im completely drawn to him and his touch and kisses. Its not rough but gentle and sweet. He pulls away making me pout. He chuckles and pecks my lips. "I am tired, want to take a nap with me?" I nod suddenly unable to talk. We both go to the bed, take off shoes and he drags me to his chest. Blushing I get closer and and kiss his chest and close my eyes. He kisses the top of my head, before I sleep I hear him saying,

"Welcome home my Queen"
