Shiver of Deception (Soul of the Sinner- Book 5)

by Rumer Raines

  Oliver laughed and reminded me we had a house full of people that we needed to deal with. He explained that Columbo was dead and he would be taking over the business for Maya. She didn’t want anything to do with anything Columbo, and I couldn’t blame her. She didn’t want her son affected by anything criminal.

  I thought about the kids I would have with Oliver, but I wasn’t worried about them. Oliver was in the Mob, but he was still a good man. He would move heaven and earth to protect me, and I had no doubt he would do the same for our kids.

  “Hi,” my father said in a raspy voice.

  “Hi, Dad.”

  “Where is Columbo?”

  “Dead.”

  He closed his eyes and one tear fell. “You’re safe?”

  “I am. Dad, I need you to promise me that you will never gamble or drink again. If you can’t promise me that and follow through, this will be the last time you see me.”

  “I stopped three months ago. I will never forgive myself for what I did to you or your mother. I had an addiction and it cost me everything.”

  I placed my hand on top of his. “I have good news. I am getting married. I hope you’ll be there.”

  “Oliver?” he asked.

  “Yes. He is so good to me, Dad. He makes me feel like I am the most important person in the world. I love him so much.”

  “I like him. I question what he does for a living, but I guess I am not the person to judge.” He laughed. “I guess my little girl will soon be Mrs. Oliver… What is his last name?” he questioned.

  “I don’t know.” I laughed.

  “Maybe you should find out fast?”

  He drifted off to sleep, and I watched him for almost an hour. I couldn’t believe where we were now compared to where we’d been. We weren’t in the best of places, but this was the start of rebuilding our relationship. I believed he would turn his life around and maybe even get back together with my mother.

  Oliver

  It took everything in me not to toss Bryn over my shoulder and fuck her into next week. It’d been too long since I had been with my woman. The same woman who said she would be my wife. I waited patiently while she talked to her father. He promised her that he was done gambling and drinking. I intended to help him keep that promise. I could take one picture of him and send it to every damn casino in the United States and make sure he isn’t allowed in. It was one of the perks of being in the Mob. I planned on having a man to man conversation with him before we headed back to Chicago. I didn’t want to have his legs broken, but if it came to that, I would.

  I’d also have to make sure Bryn’s mom was taken care of. She was still working, but that would come to an end right away. Bryn’s mother wouldn’t want for a damn thing as long as I was around, especially now that I would have extra cash from the Columbo empire. When Maya turned everything over to me, it only took one phone call and one picture of a dead Columbo to start transferring everything over. Columbo’s staff was now mine, and I put Thomas in charge of them. The first thing he did was instruct them to get rid of the bodies.

  I was having all the cash transferred to Maya. Splitting up the businesses raised a few eyebrows. Thomas, Alex, and Frank would co-share twenty-five percent, Maurice would get twenty-five percent, I would get twenty-five percent, and I put the remaining twenty-five percent in a trust for Kaydence. Alex didn’t like how any of this was going to work, but it was my decision. Maurice stepped up when he didn’t have to, and I would never forget that. I also wanted to make sure Kaydence was taken care of. His mother didn’t want him to have anything to do with the Columbo empire, but he was still blood and deserved what was rightfully his. Maya would be set for life with the cash I gave her, and I would make sure Kaydence never wanted for anything either.

  When Bryn finally walked into the bedroom, my dick instantly hardened. I lifted her shirt with trembling fingers. Moving behind her, I removed her bra as I rubbed the bare skin of her back and shoulders. My hands roamed intimately over her breasts.

  My hands explored the soft lines of her waist, her hips until they dipped into her pants. She moaned softly as I inched into her panties and cupped her mound, finding her already wet for me. She gasped as she pressed into me and tried to ride my hand.

  I pushed three fingers inside her and pulled them out in slow motion. She started breathing harder, and I knew she was ready for my dick.

  Turning her around, I picked her up and dropped her onto the bed as she spread her legs for me. I got undressed and climbed between her legs. Her body squirmed beneath me, but I had made her a promise that I intended to keep. Holding her legs down, my mouth found her pussy as she squirmed beneath me. I prayed that she didn’t wake up the entire house, but I really couldn’t have cared less if she did. I had waited too long for this, so they all would just have to suffer through the night.

  “Oliver!” she yelled as I sucked and licked her clit and stuck my finger in her at the same time. She tried to close her legs, but I held them until I had eaten all the pussy I deserved.

  When she cried out with her release, I climbed up further, holding my throbbing dick. She gasped in sweet agony as I thrust into her. I had one goal, and that was to bury myself inside her. I rammed my dick into her as she moaned, and each time she said my name, I thrust harder and harder until we both came.

  We fell asleep in each other’s arms, knowing that we would be spending the rest of our lives together.

  “Do you know what’s on the other side of that bedroom you slept in?” Thomas questioned when I walked into the kitchen the next morning.

  “I don’t.”

  “The bedroom I had to sleep in. I thought I would never get any sleep last night,” he mumbled.

  “It’s been a long time,” I reminded him, and he rolled his eyes. “Where is everyone else?”

  “Alex, Frank, and your dad went to the hotel. I guess I should have gone, too. Maya is getting Kaydence ready. Our flight leaves in three hours.”

  “I don’t think we can leave. Bryn hasn’t talked to her mother yet,” I told him.

  “Already taken care of. Get her up. She’ll be here in one hour,” he offered.

  Bryn was tired and sore when I got her out of bed and into the shower. I told her our flight was leaving in three hours, but I had a surprise for her that would arrive in one hour. She got out of the shower and stumbled into the kitchen just seconds before the doorbell rang.

  “I think you should get it,” I advised.

  She gasped when she opened the door and saw her mother. They embraced, and my heart swelled knowing that someone thought enough to do this for her.

  “We have to leave in one hour,” I announced before giving them time together.

  Bryn and her mother talked the entire hour, and before she left, Bryn introduced me to her. She didn’t introduce me as her finance, only as Oliver.

  “Mrs. Dorsey, I can only imagine what you might be thinking, and I know that you don’t know me enough to trust me with your daughter. I can promise you that I love her as long as I have breath, I will protect her. I want her to be Mrs. Oliver Gallo. I proposed, and she said yes, but I am hoping you’ll give me permission to marry your daughter, so I can put the ring on her finger to make it official.”

  “What if I don’t give you permission?” she questioned.

  I looked at Bryn and gave the only answer I could. “Then I’ll have to live in sin with her, but I would hope you wouldn’t want your grandchildren to live that way.”

  Her eyes narrowed and she turned to Bryn to give her a smile. She turned back to me. “You have my permission, Mr. Gallo.”

  On the way to the airport, I felt Bryn’s eyes on me. When I looked at her, she started to laugh. “I need to tell you something, but I don’t want you to be upset with me.”

  I took a deep breath, praying that it wasn’t anything bad, and nodded.

  “I didn’t know your last name until you told my mother,” she whispered.

  “You have been in my bed an
d agreed to marry me, but didn’t know my last name?”

  “I knew what counted,” she replied.

  “Like what?”

  “I knew your heart.” She placed her hand over my heart. “And I knew this big fella.” She reached down and grabbed my cock as she peeked toward the limo driver.

  I reached over to close the privacy window and pulled her into my lap. “I think it’s time for you to get reacquainted with this big fella.” She gasped, and I was thankful that Thomas decided to take another car with Maya and Kaydence.

  The End…

  Unconditional love means appreciating someone else for who they truly are. It means loving them when they are unlovable, and despite their imperfections and mistakes. At a deeper level, it means never questioning whether you’ll feel any other way toward a person.
