Coming Home For Christmas

"You come to me, Mr Black, to my home on the eve of my granddaughter's wedding and you don't show me or your Don any respect or any fear, you sit there all nonchalant and without a care in the world..what do you have to say for yourself, young man?" Giuseppe Antonelli said in his very strong Italian accent as he clutched a lit cigar between his fingers He looked very imposing and intimidating but I knew I had nothing to worry about and he was just joking around with me, at least I hope he is

“Well, whether you like it or not, Logan...you, my little principessa and those kids of yours are already in this life, they were born into it as Antonelli's and you married into it the day you married my little cugina” Klayton said with a slight growl as he tapped his finger against the glass of bourbon in his hand but it wasn't just any finger, no, it was the forefinger on his right hand which has got the godfather ring resting perfectly on it and it was tapping against the crystal glass like a warning or a threat to me but I ignored it because Klayton isn't a threat to me “There's a huge difference between being in it and being a part of it, Klay” “Oh really? well, please do explain the difference to us, son?"

Giuseppe asked as he puffed on his cigar “Well, if I'm in the mafia then I'm just someone who knows about it but I hear, see and speak of no evil to anyone and my family and I are protected as members of the famiglia but if I was a part of it then I'd have to pledge myself to the current Don and put my life on the line to make sure that not only he is protected and safe but also the secrets of the mafia are as well and I can't do that, there's only one Antonelli I bow down and Chapter 6 - Meeting With The D pledge my life to and that's my wife"

“I'm glad to hear that, son, Lacey is my one and only granddaughter and she's one of the most prized possessions within our famiglia, so [am beyond happy and proud that my little principessa has found a man like you who will treat her like the queen she is..that being said whether she possesses the name Antonelli, Carpenter or Black, my granddaughter and now my great-grandchildren are constantly at risk at being in danger With our enemies out there and they'll always be at risk whether you're a part of the mafia or not" Giuseppe says and Isit up in alarm

“I'll never allow anybody to harm my wife and kids, Giuseppe, I'd rather die than EVER let that happen” “Iknow that son, we both do and like I said earlier, we're happy to know that Lacey has got a man like you..that being said, I still want to offer you a position in our mafia, Logan” “Why?..why are you being so persistent about this? has something happened?” Lask them and I knew something was up when I saw Klayton and Giuseppe share a look with each other

“We received this in the mail this morning” Klayton said as he placed a white envelope in front of me Ilooked down at the envelope which had Klayton's name and address written on it in cursive writing and a stamp in the corner “What's this?" “Open it up and you'll find out" I briefly look up at Klayton and Giuseppe before looking back down at the envelope

Iwas hesitant to see what was in it but I knew I had no other choice but to look considering there's a chance this may or may not have something to do with my wife and kids I opened up the envelope and pulled out several pictures, each one had my blood boiling until I got to the last one which made me want to punch a f**+g wall The first few pictures were of just the kids playing around on my boat, there was a couple of us all hanging out on the top deck as a family and the last two were of myself and Lacey, the first is where I'm embracing her from behind with my head buried in her neck and she's smiling at me like she's the happiest woman in the world

If this was any other scenario then I'd say this is a beautiful photo but knowing it was taken by someone who was watching us without our knowledge makes it ugly and creepy, the final photo is of Lacey and I naked and we're having s* on the top deck of the boat In the photo, Lacey and I are on our knees, her back is against my front and one of my hands is wrapped around her throat as my free hand y It may sound like just an innocent, s***#I encounter between a toe,

held a wireless vibrating wand against her p husband and his wife and to be fair to us, it was when we went out there that day

My teasing wife had gone up to the top deck to sunbathe on her own and have some peace and quiet away from the kids who were stressing her out Not long afterwards, she sent me a nude selfie of herself with one of too her hands resting over her p**#y looking like she was pleasuring herself and the caption said / wish /had some company along with three emojis of

a cat, two fingers and squirting water Chapter 6 - Meeting With The D Iwas already feeling incredibly horny and I was pitching an uncomfortable tent after watching my wife walk around our boat in her tiny bikini, so when I received this text, I wasted zero time in making sure the kids were ok before grabbing some things from our s*x cave and heading up to be with my wife

“Will all due respect, sir, do you really think that Godfather bullshit will work on me?”

For the next hour or so after that, we had some of the best sx we'd ever had and I made sure to have my wife in every way [ possibly could including my favourite position where she's on all fours in front of me and I'm f*****g her from behind I don't regret a single second of it but what we did is obviously something that nobody who is blood-related to us would wanna see and unfortunately, these two Dons have seen it thanks to some creep and his camera rk I groaned as I ran a hand over my face and through my hair “Who the f**k took these photos?”

I growled as my eyes remained on the picture of Lacey and me “That's what we'd like to know, Lo" “Look son, I understand as a man and a husband what it's like to be young, horny and in love” “Urght!, gramps” Klayton groaned earning a glare from his grandfather “Shut up, boy, we're all human here and hot Italian blood runs through all of our veins, are you telling me you and Cassidy have never gotten hot and heavy like this?"

Giuseppe asks Klayton who smirked as he bit down on his bottom lip Chapter 6 - Meeting With The D “I thought so" He said whilst looking his grandson up and down before looking back at me “Look sir, I know you're probably not happy with us and you think we should've been more careful but to be fair to us and honest with you guys, we were out there alone, there wasn't

another boat or plane in sight, trust me if there was then I never would've allowed Lacey to go up to the highest level of my boat to sunbathe, let alone go up there with her to do..you know...that with her up there because there's only one man on this goddamn planet who's allowed to see my wife naked and that's me" “Well, obviously someone else was there, Logan, this picture didn't just produce itself out of thin air" Klayton says with some anger and disgust in his tone as I let out asigh “Is this why you guys want me in the mafia?"

“Yes and no, we want you in the mafia because you're a smart guy and you're incredibly strong as well, | mean, you're a former MMA fighter for +++ sake, those skills alone make you an asset to our famiglia, Lo, especially when it comes to capturing the guy who sent us this because [ know you're gonna want in when we take him to our dungeons” “Why would I want in? because he took some pictures of my family?" Lask Klayton who nervously glances at his grandfather before slightly nodding his head towards the picture in my hand

“Take a look at the back of the last picture” What? [looked down at the picture as I turned it over and my eyes widened Chapter 6 - Meeting With The D as my heart skipped a painful beat when I saw what was written on the back of it

"What the f**k is this?" I'stood up abruptly knocking my chair to the ground as I did “It's a threat against Lacey's life, that's what that is, Logan” “But who would wanna threaten Lacey? she's the most unproblematic person I've ever known" “I don't know, brother but we're gonna find out, I promise you" Klayton said and I nodded my head

Tknew he'd keep this promise because Lacey means the world to him and he'd want to squash any threat against her life as quickly as possible but it didn't stop me from feeling angry and uneasy as my breathing started to come out in quick, deep pants “Are we done here? I wanna go and see my wife and kids" “Yes we're done here, you can give us your answer when you're good and ready to and you've thought long and hard about it" Giuseppe says and I nod my head as I stormed out of his office I didn't need to think about anything, I wasn't joining the mafia, even if Lacey wanted me to join I still wouldn't because it's not me, not to mention, I want to live my life long enough to see

my kids grow up, graduate high school and college and have their own families which won't happen if I'm in the mafia I'd also love to live a nice long life with my wife until we're old and grey which I highly doubt would happen if I became one of Klayton's henchmen, so there's no way in hell I'l be joining the mafia After leaving Giuseppe's office, I briskly headed up to mine and Lacey's bedroom taking two steps at a time because I felt this desperate

need to have my wife in my arms When I got to the room however, I was stopped in my tracks when I'saw my beautiful Lacey standing in front of a long mirror, she's wearing a white summer dress and heels, her face was make-up free and her hair had been thrown up in a messy bun With a few bits left down to frame her beautiful face She looked so f****g breathtaking and angelic as she stood there lost in her own world and I couldn't resist walking over to her and embracing her from behind which startled her a little “Are you ok, babe?" Lacey asks me and I nod my head as I nuzzle my face in her neck “I'm fine"

Task him and he narrows his eyes at me as a trail of smoke leaves his mouth while Klayton tries his best to hide his smile “I know you wanna try and scare me or maybe intimidate me but I'm sorry to tell you, sir, there's only one person in this world who scares me and that's my wife”

Isay and he nods his head as a smile makes it's way onto his face “You're a smart man, Logan...don't you think so, Klayton?" “Of course, sir" "You see, Logan" Giuseppe said as he flicked the head of his cigar into the ashtray in front of him “Klayton and Lacey's grandmother, my dear late wife Olivia used to

say that Italian women, specifically Sicilian women like my girls, are scarier than a gun and that a smart man knows to be fearful but not intimidated by his woman, does that make any sense to you, Logan?" "Sure" It didn't but this man is known for his riddles and I just hoped this one would make sense somewhere “I'may have been the Don of the Antonelli famiglia and now my grandson Klayton is the head of our famiglia but we both know we wouldn't be the men we are today if it wasn't for the strong women in our lives”

“| agree” I'say whilst nodding my head “No offence, sir and I'm sorry if I come off as rude here but what has this got to do with why you both wanted to meet with me?” Lask feeling confused When my father-in-law told me Giuseppe Antonelli wanted to meet with me in private along with his grandson Klayton, I couldn't help but feel nervous as dread filled my body, not because I was afraid of them, no it's because in my opinion, there's no good reason why the former and current Dons of the biggest mafia famiglia in the world would want to meet with me

twenty-four hours before I'm due to marry their granddaughter and cousin unless it's something important and or bad Hopefully, I'm wrong and this is just a casual meeting to congratulate me on my upcoming nuptials because Lace and I have waited too f*****g long for this day and we've worked so freaking hard in more ways than one to make this day happen and make it perfect and I don't want anyone or anything to ruin it for us

“Straight to the point... like that about you, Logan, you don't beat Chapter 6 - Meeting With The D about the bush like other people do" Giuseppe says as he side eyes Klayton who rolls his eyes while shaking his head “We want to offer you a position in our mafia, Logan and [ want you to hear us out first before you give us your answer”

“I already gave you my answer three years ago when you first made this offer to me, Giuseppe and I told you both no because my family means way too much for me to enter a lifestyle as dangerous as this one, I don't want any of us to be a part of this life, especially not my kids"
