Emily POV

I woke up Early in a cold sweat oh please tell me that was a dream I think. I pull the covers back revealing the truth. Ericson walks out fully dressed wearing a cocky smirk. He says "Good morning wifey." I cut my eyes at him "this doesn't change anything Ericson, I just needed a release." He puts his hands up "trust me Emily I know, it takes more than 4 orgasms. I may be horny but I'm not stupid." He grabs his cellphone as it rings "but you can use me anytime and anyway you want as you know I aim to please wifey." He says as he walks out talking on his phone. I groan out of frustration as I hear a voice in my head say -well it wasn't bad- I get out of the bed stretching. Then walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Then I get into the shower and I wash my body. After I get out and get dressed I fix my hair and go check on the twins. Ericson was already there "I thought I could help with them while you get dressed." I smile, thanking him then I look at Kayla and Blaze. She was hanging off of her fathers back and Blaze was stuck to his leg. "They are really hyper this morning." Is all he says as he laughs. I walk to him grabbing Kayla off of his back. "Come on Kayla Bear let's see what we have for breakfast."

She smiles hugging me "good morning Mommy." I laugh as he gets Blaze off of his leg picking him up and tickling him. Blaze laughs as we walk downstairs. I see Jessica, Sasha, Derrick and Nickson in the kitchen. I sit Kayla down as the house keeper begins to make plates. I tell the housekeeper thank you. Then I make my plate sitting down and tell everyone good morning. Jessica looks at me with a smirk, "Yeah it must have been a very Good morning" she says. Derrick daps up Ericson as they begin to speak in French. As he speaks he looks at me and winks and I just roll my eyes. As we eat Jessica looks to me"so Emily how was your night, you do anyone I mean anything interesting?" She asks blinking her eyes innocently. Part of me wants to pop her in the back of the head. Only part of me I love her too much to actually do it. I cut my eyes as I mumbled "it was just cunnilingus."

She smirks "yeah sure...you're telling me you were in the bed with a male, and all you did was ride his face." I was telling the truth.I wanted more, But Ericson said he doesn't want my mind to be controlled by lust. When I decide to give myself to him. She eats some of her food as I tell her that. She glances at him "well..damn that was kind of nice..I guess." I eat some food as we continue to gossip and laugh. I noticed Nickson and Sasha making eyes at each other. I glance to Jessica as I whisper "now tell me you didn't see that?" She looks towards them then back to me "all I know is that's all that better be happening, he is three years older than her." I suppress the urge to laugh it seems her sister has an attraction to bad boys.

After breakfast the male's disappeared to Ericson's office. Probably to talk business. Ericson told me they have been thinking of expanding to Louisiana. I told him what about stepping on anyone's toes. He gave me that he doesn't care about stepping on anyone's toes look. I spend time with Jessica and Evie for a moment. Evie was telling me about Alexi apparently he had a thing for Evie. But she doesn't know if she should give him a shot. " I tell her that Alexi is a good guy, and if he is pursuing her then it must be something he really wants." I could tell she was happy to hear my words. I decided to watch a movie with the twins then do some work.

The day went by pretty slowly. I was relaxing reading a book when Ericson. Walks down hanging up his cellphone sitting beside me. "Hey Ems what are you up to?" I glance at him putting down my book "nothing much just relaxing, where you able to get your work done." He yawns nodding his head "yeah, I remember you saying that I might step on some people's toes. So I have Derrick and Andros checking into everything." I nod my head Ericson has always taken my concerns into account. Especially when it came to business. We used to talk all night about going over plans. We had plans for almost every outcome. We even gave them code names at the time so that only we know. But after his cousin Fredrick got killed that's when everything changed.

It happened a year and a half into our marriage. I knew they were close growing up so it kind of hit him hard. He never expressed how he felt he just got distant. "What's on your mind wifey?" His words are what brings me back to the present. "Nothing Ericson my mind was just elsewhere, tell Nickson to look into a group called the Corner Boys, I remember hearing something about them" I say then I pick up my book. "Okay but I would love for me, you and our children to have dinner. Please be ready by 7:30pm." I nod my head looking back at the book as I hear him speak. He smirks "she goes back to her mate." I cut my eyes "really Ericson, you just ruined the book." He chuckles "calm down wifey I never said how, but you should know when it's true love. It always finds a way."

He turns to walk out as he phone rings "speak!" Is all I hear I cut my eyes looking down at the book." Hell I need to figure out how I think as I pick the book up reading it. After reading for a good hour I didn't finish the book. But I do save my page then I look at the time it's 6pm time for me to get the twins ready. After 20 minutes I was finished with the twins. I went to the room to get myself ready next. I walk to the closet looking through a few outfits.I finally grab one that is appropriate for the occasion. I walk to the bathroom to get ready. After my shower I get dressed then start on my hair. -he better not think this is a date- I think to myself as I do my make-up.

Ericson walks in and I have to admit he looked good. He smirks as he sees me "damn wifey you look good." I say thank you. "I had a friend of mine close down his restaurant so I can have a private dinner with my family." I walk to my jewelry box putting on my diamond earrings. "What restaurant are we going to?" I ask him he looks at his phone texting on it "the ivy, it reopened a year ago I know it was your favorite. It's under new management though." I remember that restaurant I used to love to go there. It closed a year before I left. The owner died and the kids had their own lives. It makes me kind of happy to hear it's reopened. I put on my heels "well let's get going suddenly I'm starving." I say as I walk out he grabs Blaze's hand and I grab Kayla's.

I hear Ericson's mother laughing as she talks. once we walk downstairs she stops looking at us "oh my you guys make such a beautiful family." She says gushing over her grandchildren. Ericson's father gets up telling his son something I couldn't make out. Ericson nods his head saying something to him. My brother Alexi stands outside talking with Evie I could tell she was blushing. Ericson grabs his keys and we walk to his car. He helps me get the twins in the back as he signals two guards to follow us. He notices that I looked at him and he says "I'm not taking any chances when it comes to you three." Ok, that was kind of sweet... Damn him trying to be all thoughtful. I think as I buckle my seat belt he gets in driving off.

We make it to the restaurant in a good 45 minutes. He pulled up parking his car and I was pretty excited. - I wonder if the food is going to be the same... maybe better- i think as I get out getting Blaze out of the car. We walked in and the place was gorgeous! I remember how this place used to look. It was nice but this seems so different but in a good way. The place was empty except for a few staff working. We walk to our seats as Ericson speaks. "I hired some of the staff to serve us tonight." Once we get seated the waitress brings out our first course for the night. Kayla and Blaze eat some breadsticks with artichoke dip. As the night continues we enjoy our meals and talk. I really enjoyed his company. The kids loved spending time with both of us.

Ericson's POV

I knew where last night was going when I saw the look in Emily's eyes. She was excited I waited until the prick took his last breath. After that me and Emily went to have a drink. That's when things got a little blurry. I knew it ended with her riding my face. She wanted more I could tell but I don't think we should just jump in bed. Yes we are familiar with each other but this should take time.

I wake up early to my phone going off. I grab it by answering it "fai in fretta!"(make it quick!) The person on the other end informs me that the target. That I'm having problems with has reached out to one of the families in Italy. Thankfully I have put the word out to not help this fucker, let him sink before I hit him. I smirk as I walk to the closet to grab something to wear. "Chiama Reese Russo e digli che ho bisogno di un favore."(call Reese Russo tell him i need favor) Reese is an old friend of my family he is one of the top Dons in Italy. If anyone can make this person come completely out of hiding it would be him. I can finish the rest. He has been smart only using burning phones and technology to wipe his location. When he makes these calls I would have had him already. The person tells me to give them a day. I hang up then I walk in the bathroom and start to get ready for my day.

Once I'm done with my morning routine I walk out of the restroom fully dressed. I see Emily is awake from last night. Images from last night Flood my mind. It was like I was relieving it at that very moment. Once I come back to the present I give her a cocky smirk before I speak. "Good morning wifey." She cuts her eyes at me -I wonder if she knows how much that turns me on- she tells me that this doesn't change anything she just needed a release. And I didn't think it would change anything I know I'm amazing in bed. I have heard it many times. Hell I aim to please it's no fun the other way. I let her know that I'm willing to be there when she needs it. All she has to do is say the words. I look down as my phone rings seeing it's one of my employees at the office.

I walk out and begin to talk with my assistant. He was telling me about the company I wanted to buy a few months ago. Has just come to him begging for my help. -now that their company is failing they need me.- I think before I begin to speak. "Tell them I will help, but take $800,000 off my offer, they should have taken the offer. When their company was worth something I was being generous. Now I'm buying a sinking ship." I say to him I know I could save it but that's just how business is. I hung up the phone walking into the twins room. When I open the door I see them both jumping on the bed laughing. When they see me they stop jumping saying "Daddy!" they get off the bed both running to me. I hug them both then they talk me into playing with them for awhile.

After playing for almost an hour I start to get them ready for breakfast. Emily walks into the room when we are finished. Kayla was hanging off of my back laughing and Blaze connected himself to my leg. I look at her telling her that they are hyper this morning. She walks to Kayla grabbing her as she laughs. That gives me a chance to grab the little one wrapped around my legs. I grab him and tickle him as we walk downstairs. He laughs once we get downstairs. I walk Blaze to the table putting him down so he can get into his chair. I walked to the table as the housekeeper fixed his plate. I make my own as I talk with Derrick in French and we begin to discuss business. We still have to make the drop in New Orleans he was going to drive up with two guards and his younger brother. Tuscan is being trained to be my brother's second.

After breakfast I went upstairs with Derrick and Nickson to talk business. Once I shut the door and sit at my desk. I see Derrick looking at me "so I forgot to ask how was your night?" He says giving me a look that says he thinks he already knows. I smirk "you already know I'm not the type to kiss and tell." He laughs then says "yeah sure." We continue to work for a couple of hours. I walk downstairs to get something to drink when. I walk out of the kitchen to see Emily reading a book. She looked so beautiful and peaceful I walk to her talking with her. I let her know that I took her advice on the project in Louisiana. I have always trusted Emily when it comes to my business. I let her know I would love to have dinner with her and the kids. She agrees so I tell her to be ready around 7:30pm.

I look at the title of her book that series is one of my favorites. So I decided to tell her what I know she gets upset saying I spoiled it. But I don't think so the best part is seeing how, the tension between the two builds until they finally give in. "calm down wifey I never said how, but you should know when it's true love. It always finds a way." I say then walk away as my phone rings. It was my assistant let me know that the owner wasn't happy. But they are going to accept the deal. -of course they are they are desperate- I smile when I walk upstairs going to my office as I speak. "Print up the contract" I hung up the phone when I closed my door. I decided to call up a friend of mine who was a chef. He brought that old restaurant that Emily was so in love with. He is a great cook and has turned the place to the glory it once was. I informed him to make some beignets for dessert. I know the twins love those so I want to make sure they can have them.

I work until about 6:50 then I go to get ready. I decided to use one of the spare restrooms to get ready. Since Emily was using the one in the room. Once I'm ready I walk back inside and that's when I see Emily. I let her know that she looks good then I let her know that I had my friend close down his restaurant for me. It cost a pretty penny but money is nothing to me it comes and goes. I'd rather spend it on my family than all the other shit. I basically own more than most people do. I watch as she walks to the jewelry box -I would give it all up just to travel back in time to the exact moment I fucked all this up- I think to myself her voice asking me where are we going. Is what pulls me from my thoughts I look at her saying " The Ivy, it reopened a year ago I know it was your favorite. It's under new management though" I could tell she was happy from the look in her eyes.

Once we walk downstairs my mother begins to gush over her grandchildren. My father and I talk "don't fuck it up, me and your mother want time with our grandchildren, we want our daughter back. fallo bene, figlio mio, quella è la tua famiglia."(make it right my son, that's your family) like I said my family prefers me with Emily they like her our family's work well together. Her brothers are in my business hell they work just as hard as Derrick. "I will" I say then we walk out helping her get the kids in the car then I tell some guards to follow. "I'm not taking any chances when it comes to you and my family." I say as I get into the car driving off.
