I'm Nothing (The Family Book 2)(20)
“I do have a question,” Paige said.
“What?” Zara took a sip of her water before clearing away the extra flour on the counter.
“You want to keep your father’s memory alive, and that is great, but you won’t talk to your mother. How come?”
Washing her hands, Zara turned to face her friends. They had all become close during her stay at the apartment.
“She had a choice to tell me. When Dad died, she lied to me. Dad never said anything, so I guess in a weird kind of way, I always figured he wasn’t lying to me. Mom, she made my life hell. I wasn’t allowed to go away to college, or do anything. I had to stay and pay off this debt. Lucien fucked with her, and in turn she fucked with me. Some things are harder to forgive.”
“Will you ever go and see her?” Charlene asked.
“One day. Just not today, and probably not tomorrow. It’s bitchy I know, but imagine spending your entire life in a pizza shop, working all day every day, trying to make ends meet, with the stress, and it’s all because of a lie. How would you feel?”
“I’m with Zara on this one. I don’t talk to my mother for the same problem. She chose a life of luxury over my protection. I’m not helping her ass anymore than I have to.” Paige touched her stomach. “She’s not coming near my baby either.”
“I find it funny. We’ve all been fucked some way or the other by parents and by people close to us,” Charlene said.
“It couldn’t be that bad. We’ve found friendships here,” Paige said. “I consider both of you my friends.”
“Same here, and you being gay doesn’t bother me,” Zara said.
“You guys are sweet.”
“What are we celebrating?” Tonio asked, walking into the apartment.
Zara left the kitchen and rushed to his side. She didn’t care who saw them. Jumping into his arms, she took his lips.
Tonio stumbled against the wall, his hands gripping her ass while he righted himself.
“Woman, you could have hurt yourself.”
“Nope, I knew you’d protect me. I missed you.”
“I missed you, too.”
She let go of his body, and slid down to stand in front of him. They just stared at each other for the longest time until someone cleared their throat. She turned to see Charlene with her daughter. “We’re going to head out. Talk to you later.”
“You too.”
Jake, Donnie, and Luiz had already gone to the kitchen, and she heard them all talking.
“Is everything going well?” she asked.
“I’ll talk to you later about it. What are you cooking tonight?” he asked.
They made their way toward the kitchen, and she saw Paige was now sitting on Donnie’s lap, and he rubbed her stomach.
Luiz was texting on his phone, and Jake was grabbing a beer.
“I have some steaks that I’m going to grill. Potato salad and some greens, does that sound good?” she asked.
“Better than a sandwich or noodles.”
She left him to talk while she started working on dinner. It was nice to finally be around friends, and people she got along with. Her mother was always pestering her, telling her how to work when her mother couldn’t even cook. That used to piss her off. She was spending every spare second of the day working at the pizza place, and her mother couldn’t fry an egg.
“So, Zara, tell us, how is it to finally be getting serious with the guy who used to copy your answers?” Jake asked.
She pulled the steaks out of the fridge to get to room temperature. “I like it. He’s making up for everything he’s ever done in other ways.” Putting her hand on her hip, she winked at Tonio, delighted when he did the same to her.
“You’re good for each other,” Donnie said.
“I’m glad. You’re not getting rid of me, ever. I hope to have you all addicted. Paige, honey, when you’re no longer pregnant, I expect you here beside me. Us girls need to stick together.”
“Consider it a date. I’ll have a baby on my hip, but I love being in the kitchen. This Neanderthal doesn’t like me standing at the stove though,” Paige said, pouting.
“The doctor ordered you to rest. Cooking is work, and I’m not going to have you fall ill on me just to have a nice meal.”
“If it wasn’t for Zara you’d still be ordering out.”
“I used the best restaurants. You never suffered.”
“You two are so cute together,” Zara said. “How much long until the baby is due?”
“Another week or so. I can’t wait until it’s out of me. Honestly, I feel like a beached whale I’m that big.” Paige puffed out her cheeks.
“You’re adorable.”
“Yeah, you just want to make sure you get some when it’s all over.”
Zara kept on cooking as the banter continued. They changed topics faster than anything, Luiz turning the conversation away from Paige’s baby, and Donnie’s obsession with her.
She liked this family, and she didn’t want to lose them, none of them.
Chapter Ten
Later that night, Tonio entered the shower, moving up behind Zara who was using most of the hot water. He didn’t mind, enjoying the excuse to be close to her. “All the guys adore you.”
“I’m an adorable woman. I should be worshipped.” Zara tilted her head back, closing her eyes, and he watched her. He always enjoyed watching her. Seeing her appreciate the simple things in life made him happy.
“Would you do my back?” she asked, holding out the soap to him.
He purposefully dropped the soap. “Sure, pick it up, and I’ll wash your back.”
She bent down with her ass in the air, and he caught her hips, holding her steady. “You little sneak.”
“Baby, don’t fight it. I bet this pretty pussy is already wet for me.” He slid a finger between her slit, finding her already soaked. “Have you been thinking about me?”
“This is what you do to me, Tonio.”
He used to fingers to pump them inside her. “Well, next time give me a call, I’d have been here a lot sooner.” Pulling out of her pussy, he slid them forward, to touch her clit.
“Do you want me to get the soap?”
“No. I’ll use that in a moment. First, I want to make you feel so good.”
She moaned, and he pressed a thumb into her cunt as he stroked her clit, finding her pussy squeezing him. She’d be so damn tight around his dick. He didn’t have a condom, but he wasn’t about to stop to go and get one.
“I’m clean, baby, and I’ll pull out.”
“Yes, Tonio, please,” she said.
Removing his thumb from her pussy, he placed the tip at her entrance, and watched as she opened up for him, taking his cock. She was so damn warm, and he moaned as the heat surrounded him.
“Fuck, baby, you feel so good.” It was much better without the condom, and he wanted it. He wanted to fuck her so hard, and spill his spunk inside her tight cunt, and watch as it spilled from the lips of her pussy. He wanted to claim her, own her, possess her in every way that he could.
“Tonio,” she said, gasping his name.
“I’ve got you, baby, I’ve got you.” He teased her clit, still holding her hip to keep her steady.
“It feels so good.”
“I’m only just getting started, baby. You’re in for a long night.” He stared down at his cock, and he slammed into her pussy feeling her tighten around him. Pulling out of her, he stared down at her gaping cunt. Pushing back inside, he teased her clit, loving the feel of her tightening around him. “Fuck, baby, you’re amazing.”
He pulled all the way out of her and spun her around, taking possession of her lips. Pressing her up against the back of the wall, he grabbed her hands, lifting them above her head. “You don’t think I know that you’ve been teasing me with all of those porn movies you’ve been leaving me to find.”
“So? I wanted to inspire you.”
“Honey, seeing you naked inspires me. Knowing I’m the only dick that has been inside you, inspires me.” Using one of his hands to hold both of hers above her head, he glided his fingers down her body, stroking over her nipple, then moving down to cup her pussy. He pushed two fingers inside her, finding her wet. “Do you like it when you belong to me?”
“Yes.”
“I’m not going to let you go now, Zara. I’ve told the guys you belong to me, and that means you’re mine for life.”
“You don’t see me running, Tonio.” She spread her legs. “I’m yours to take.”
He released her hands, gripped her hips, and lifted her up. Slowly, he slid her down his length, watching as they joined together. She was so fucking slick and hot, and he wanted her.
“You’re going to drop me.” She wrapped her arms around him, holding on tightly.
“I’d never drop you, baby.” Cupping her ass, he spread her cheeks, wishing he had a third hand to tease that puckered hole. Soon, he’d do it soon.
With her pressed against the wall, he started to fuck her, driving his cock in deep.
“Tell me to fuck you, Zara. Tell me how much you want my dick in this hot little pussy.”
“I want it, Tonio. I want you. I want your cock. You make me need you.”
