*Elio*
‘Well,’ I thought numbly to myself, ‘that’s one way of getting rid of a raging hard-on.’
I weaved my way through the small cluster of people to get to the private office toward the back of the house. I hadn’t the slightest idea what Alessandro needed to talk to me about, and honestly, I didn’t really have much focus to give at the moment.
Today had already felt like a whirlwind of emotions. I’d been excited that everyone was willing to come out to celebrate the news of me becoming the new Don in the States, only to then have my father pop whatever bubble of elation I’d felt.
His words from earlier still felt like lead in my stomach. I should have known better than to think I could delay telling him anything. I rolled my eyes in bitter exhaustion… as if anything was capable of getting past his notice.
