“Oh honey please, bring your tail in here already. Congratulations by the way. I had a look at that place myself it is gorgeous,” Pam said as she ushered Vanessa to where the other ladies were.
“Oh, did you just buy this place?” Vanessa asked.
“Oh no, this is actually my sister’s condo. I just moved in here a few months ago,” Pam said with a warm smile.
There was something sad in this woman’s eyes that made Pam feel sorry for her and want to befriend her. The look reminded her of how she felt when she first left to live overseas.
“This place is just as amazing as mine,” Vanessa said as she looked around.
“Thank you,” Paige said as she looked the new comer up and down. “Who do we have here?”
“This is Vanessa she just moved in next door,” Pam said giving her distrusting sister the stinky eye.
Pam continued to make introductions as Paige watched Vanessa closely. “And this is my twin Paige,” Pam said as she made it to her sister.
“Nice to meet you,” Paige said and held out her hand.
“Oh wow, you are the new Mrs. Bobby Mairettie aren’t you,” Vanessa said as she shook Paige’s hand.
Something in the way this woman said her husband’s name made Paige’s skin crawl. She narrowed her eyes and gave Vanessa a once over like she was on the witness stand and she was looking for a way to make her crack.
“The pictures in the papers were beautiful, but you are all so much prettier in person,” Vanessa said as she looked around at all the women.
Camille squinted at the woman. She couldn’t put her finger on it but she knew this woman from somewhere. Rita too narrowed her eyes on the woman that just entered what she now considered her brother’s home. She knew her brother was crazy about Pam and he would go ballistic if anything happened to her so this woman’s presence was not just okay with her.
“I’m sorry, you said your name is Vanessa….,” Rita asked, leaving pause for the woman to give her last name. Meaning full well to do a background check on her as soon as she could.
Just then Rita’s phone started ringing breaking her focus. She cursed under her breath and excused herself before hearing Vanessa’s answer to her question. Duty called as always.

“Thank you so much for letting me join you and your family,” Vanessa said for the second time as Pam walked her out. Everyone else was getting ready for their men to come and pick them up and Vanessa insisted she should go.
Once Paige and Rita warmed up to Vanessa they actually had a good time. Vanessa found that none of the women were what she expected and she found herself being sucked into their warm banter and good humor. She’d tried to get close to Rita, but quickly saw that it was a bad idea. She and Paige made her nervous.
Overall Vanessa found herself for once in her life feeling like she had friends and like she belonged. She needed to leave, this was not her life. She had a reason for being here and if she wanted to be accepted by these women now was not the time to hang around it was too dangerous. Her life now depended on getting this all right.
“You are more than welcome. Let me know if you can make the baby shower,” Pam smiled.
“Oh, well is it unisex,” Vanessa asked. “I could see if my boyfriend would like to come.” She added the last part quickly as Pam’s brows furrowed.
“Oh sure, yeah he can come along all the guys will be there,” Pam shrugged.
“Oh okay, well thanks again and thanks for the number to your OB. I swear my doctor makes me wonder. I mean I would love a second opinion on why I am so small,” Vanessa said and started to chew her lip in thought.
“I’m sure it will be fine,” Pam said patting Vanessa’s arm.
“Well thanks and good night,” Vanessa said and turned to leave.
Pam closed the door behind her and stood thinking for a minute. She liked the woman but there was something nagging at her brain. She’d just been ignoring it because of that sadness in Vanessa’s eyes. Pam was so lost in thought as she slowly walked back to the living room she didn’t hear the door behind her.
Nate sneaked up behind her and wrapped his large arms around her. Pam yelped and turned as best as she could to face him. Nate dipped his head to capture her lips causing her to forget about everyone and everything else.
Nate pulled away and smiled down at her as Bobby, Marcus and Sam pushed pass them chuckling. Jasper brought up the rear with a sly smile on his face. Pam returned the sly smile because she knew he was who Marie had been texting all night.
“Did you miss me,” Nate whispered in her ear.
Pam would be lying if she said she didn’t. She had been pissed with him lately but her hormones weren’t in the mood for her to ignore them anymore. Pam bit her lip and looked up into his chocolate eyes and nodded her head.
Nate’s hand slid from her back to grab a hand full of her rear. “I want to hear you say it Baby,” Nate rasped next to her ear.
“Yes, I missed you,” Pam responded.
Nate backed her into the wall and nuzzled her neck. “Are you ready to show your man how much you love him,” Nate whispered.
Pam’s breath hitched and her eyes widened. A broad smile spread across Nate’s face. “What, you think I don’t know,” Nate lifted a brow.
“Or maybe you still don’t know,” Nate looked her in the eyes. “I love you, Pam and tonight I want to make love to my woman.”
Pam cursed at her hormones in her head as she felt the tears swimming in her eyes. She wasn’t sure where this was coming from but he was saying the words she had been holding onto so tightly and now that he released them she knew there was no hope for her heart. Not that there ever had been. Nate had started to worm his way into her heart from the first moment she met him.
“Is it okay if I’m not ready to say it,” Pam said in a small whisper.
Nate grabbed the hair at her nape tipping her head back and served her with a searing kiss. Pam released a whimper and Nate deepened the kiss. Pam only snapped out of the kiss because of the soft click of the door closing behind the last of their guests. Pam’s cheeks warmed as she realized how lost in Nate she had been.
Pam giggled, “You’re so bad Nate. I didn’t even get to say bye to anyone.”
Nate scooped her up in his arms. “Trust me, each one of those ladies are about to go home and take care of their man. You just happen to be lucky enough to do it now and not later.”
“Whatever, Hulk,” Pam teased.
“I’m gonna show you a Hulk, Tinker Bell. Believe me,” Nate rasped.

It had been another long and trying day. Once Nate felt he was closer to a solution for the chaos in his life he wanted nothing more than to get home to his woman and let her know once and for all how he really felt about her.
Things were starting to relax with the whole Luca situation. Uri had indeed handled the matter. Nate knew for a fact that Uri had left for Chicago and taken Luca with him for a few months.
By the time Luca returned to New York he would have met his soon to be wife. Not that that would stop him from wanting Pam but it would make it that much harder for him to try to come after her if he decided to disregard his cousin.
“Oh Baby,” Pam gasped as Nate kissed his way across her shoulder as he released the zipper on the back of her dress. He loved the sky blue fabric against her mocha skin. The dress was a soft fabric that stretched and gathered in soft ruching in the midsection.
“Understand I’m nothing without you, Pamela,” Nate whispered in her ear before nibbling at her lobe. “I’m asking you to trust that I’m doing everything I do for us. For you,” he kissed her temple then turned her to peel the dress from her shoulders and let it drop to the floor. “For our daughters,” he kissed her swollen belly, smiling when his daughters responded to his voice and touch.
“I’ve got you Baby, I promise,” Nate said against her lips as he stood once a again and sealed his lips to hers.
“Okay Nate, ok
ay,” Pam nodded she honestly needed to trust him. Pam knew that deep down inside she gave him so much crap because she was just scared. Everything was just too easy and too good to be true. Luca had taught her that too good and too easy were a recipe for disaster.
“Good Baby, because you may not be ready to say you love me, but I want you to know I love you without question, without a doubt, without pause,” Nate said lifting her naked body into his arms. He had stripped her bra and panties from her as he kissed her into submission to his love.
Pamela allowed her heart to fill with the possibilities her future held. Nate only wanted her happy. She could see that in the many calls and text throughout the day. The random deliveries to her work sites. The after work bubble baths and messages. The simple kisses he would rain all over her face after sitting and watching her for moments on end. Luca never did any of those things and it was time she stopped punishing Nate for Luca.
If she were honest with herself she would admit that both the Briggs and Mairettie families seemed to have inside secrets. She’d observed them all enough to know it, so it wasn’t as if Nate was just singling her out to hold some big secret from.
Placing Pam in the center of the bed Nate kissed a trail down the center of her body slowly. He had already stripped out of his own clothes so Pam propped up on her elbows to enjoy the view. The moonlight filtering in through the blinds places an ethereal glow against his skin causing him to look like the chocolate God that he is.
Pam groaned at just the sight of his broad shoulders as his muscles flexed with his panther like movements as he made his way down her body. He stopped at her belly button and placed his hands on the outsides of her belly. His tongue dipped into her belly button then came out to circle it and dipped in once more. Pam arched her back pushing her breasts forward. Nate took the invitation and sucked a diamond hard nipple into his mouth.
When his tongue flickered against the sensitive peek Pam cried out and cupped the back of his head with both hands to keep his mouth on her. Nate pulled her breast deeper into his mouth sucking hard. Pam could feel herself becoming more than wet for him.
Nate released her breast and made his way back down to his original destination. Pam spread her legs wider to give him better access and Nate’s head disappeared behind her swollen belly. She was now guided by his groans of pleasure and the feel of his mouth on her swollen wet flesh.
His tongue lapped at her center like she was the sweetest treat his mouth ever tasted. Nate growled into her pussy as she started to gush for him. The vibration hummed through her body and up her spine causing her elbows to give as she fell back weakly.
“Oh Nate baby, that is so good,” Pam moaned. “I’m so close.”
To her surprise and frustration Nate pulled away. With a surprised yelp Pam found herself flipped over in Nate’s gentle but steady grasp. He pulled her to her knees before slipping into her wetness inch by slow inch until she was so full she felt stuffed to the brim.
Pam clutched the sheets and groaned loudly. Nate kissed and nipped her shoulder and then grasped a hand full of her hair as he started to drive in and out of her slick folds. It was so good Pam had to blink a few times before she realized she was in mid drool and wiped a hand across her lip.
Nate took the hand resting on her hip and reached to knead her breast. Pamela felt herself becoming increasingly slick around his cock. Her folds were squeezing tightly around Nate pulling a series of grunts from his throat.
“I love this pussy,” Nate growled. His eyes were trained on his long thick rod moving in and out of Pam’s tight body as her juices coated him more and more with each push and pull. It was a sight that was driving him crazy and the fluttering of her walls against him was rushing him to the edge sooner than he wanted to get there.
Remembering his promise to make love to her tonight and wanting to prolong his impending orgasm he pulled out. Turning onto his back he guided Pam to straddle his hips, sinking down on him nice and slow. Nate grabbed hold of her hips and moved her to the slow grind of his own. Pam’s lids fluttered closed and her head tipped to the side.
Nate relished in the slow sigh that escaped her lips. He loved seeing her belly swollen and her breasts bouncing as he took her from beneath. Sliding a hand to her ass he squeezed hard knowing it was what she needed to send her over into pure bliss. Pam’s head rolled back and she screamed with raw emotion and feeling. His name rolled off her tongue like a prayer as he held her in place and continued to thrust up into her with strong controlled thrusts.
“I …I …Oh God I lo-,” Pam stuttered.
Nate cut her off with his mouth plundering her mouth with his tongue. “Oh no, you don’t get to say it now, Baby. Not while you’re riding my dick. First time those words come out those pretty lips for me you won’t be drunk off my dick,” Nate growled in her mouth.
“Nate baby, I can’t take much more,” Pam whimpered.
“You can and you will,” Nate demanded with a grin. Lifting Pam he placed her on her side and entered her from behind pulling her leg up over his.
He locked his fingers with hers and placed their joined hands on her belly. His thumb gently rubbed back and forth over her tight flesh. His lips went to her neck and he sucked on the sensitive skin.
“Ah Baby,” Nate rasped in a deep husky voice. “I love you, Pam. Come with me Baby, now.”
It was all the command that she needed. They both cried out together as his hot thick seed coated her insides with each pulse of his hard member. Pam fell limp in his arms as her lids became too heavy to peel open.
Pam didn’t know how long went by before her eyes opened and Nate’s steady breathing filled the room telling her he had fallen asleep. She snuggled back into his chest and reveled in his warmth.
“I love you too, Nate, with everything I am,” Pam whispered into the dark and fell back to sleep.
Chapter Seventeen
“Once I close this one last deal I will be around a lot more, Baby. I promise,” Nate said to Pam as he held her in his arms.
He was going to miss her like crazy over the next two weeks but if they were going to make a move it had to be now. Wyatt Black was taking point on this mission along with Nate. Three of the other seven Black brothers would be joining them as well as Jasper, Thomas and some cousins Uncle Earl had called in for the job.
Things had to go without a hitch in order for this to stay away from their front doors. Leaving Pam for so long had his stomach in knots and it didn’t help that this mission made him a bit uneasy. Toby Black was known to be a handful. If he lived up to his reputation on this trip it could put them all in danger.
Nate didn’t want more blood on his hands then was necessary. If things went wrong Nathan knew he was not leaving this mission without exterminating every single threat and loose end. Nate also had reason to believe something else was off.
He wasn’t sure if it was related to Luca or not but his team kept reporting some woman that Pam was having lunch dates with. He thought nothing of it at first but when the reports had the woman also coming to the house he became suspicious. The reports said she would get into a red Audi after all her visits and drive off.
What really raised his hackles were the last three reports that said she didn’t drive off but went into the brownstone next door instead. Nate had noticed the for sale sign disappear weeks ago but no one had ever moved in according to his team. When they looked up public records to see who the owner was it was listed as a private sale. Justin did a little more digging and found the owner was a Lexington Corp.
It all didn’t sit well with Nate and being that Pamela had no idea he was having her watched he couldn’t just come out and ask her who the woman was, but he was going to ask.
“I hope so because I’m going to miss you,” Pam purred as she snuggled into his chest.
Pam didn’t have the energy to fight with Nate anymore nor did she want to. Sure she still had questions about somethings that just didn’t add up but she wasn’t going
to make herself crazy about it. Nate had been doing everything he could to prove his love for her and for now that would be enough.
He promised her more than once that things were changing in his business and he would be able to be more of a family man. He’d even asked her to move in to the Briggs compound when he returned. She’d wondered at first if he just wanted to live closer to Bobby, but in the end she felt it would work out for the best if Nate lived closer to his lawyer and friend.
At least they could work from home on occasion and she wouldn’t feel like her man was out all times of the night. Things had gotten better all ready. Instead of Nate going to charity functions and benefits without Pam he had started to take her along. They would double date with Paige and Bobby.
At one point she thought he might have been ashamed of her. Paige would tell her about the events she hadn’t been invited to and she would silently stew about it, not knowing that they were really work functions for Nate. He didn’t want to risk her safety or be distracted by protecting her and not Bobby and Paige.
“You know I would feel better if you went to stay with my sister and Marcus or Paige and Bobby,” Nate tried for the millionth time.
“Nope, I will not intrude on either married couple. For the millionth time I’ll be fine,” Pam sighed. “Please Nate, stop worrying about me. I’ll be fine, the babies will be fine.”
Nate pressed his lips and stared down at her for a beat before relenting. “Fine, but if you need anything and I mean anything call Bobby first. If you can’t get him call Marcus. My father will be traveling with me but Uncle Earl will be around. He will be checking in on you every other day while I’m gone,” Nate said firmly.
“I didn’t need a babysitter, Nate. Leave your poor Uncle alone,” Pam fussed.
“Poor Uncle my ass,” Nate muttered and snorted. “Uncle Earl insisted on this himself when he heard I’d be leaving my pregnant woman to go out of town on business.”
Pam sighed and shook her head. “Well I love your uncle so I won’t complain to be in his company,” Pam smiled up at Nate.
