United with the Family - Cherie Benjamin (book reader for pc txt) 📗

of your heritage.  I trust you with every fiber of my being. When the other family members meet you and see how much you will take care of them, they will trust you, too."

"But what about the ones that won't?”

"Fuck them.  I know you are worried about Sebastian and Kurtus; to be honest, so am I.  Ara, you must not think of them as your father and brother, but as the two men who want to kill you."

Ara knew that her biological father was an evil man, and she had seen firsthand Kurtus's evil ways.  In addition, she knew that if she did not step up and take over, Kurtus would cause trouble for Kane and the Leone family.  Shit, he would might even try killing Kane. If Kane died, she could not live without him. She needed to step up and be the woman who Kane would be proud to reign alongside.

"Kane, thank you; I am going to try.  I know I will need help becoming the best Donna for both families."

"Fuck, baby, I know you will be.  Now let's talk about attitude."

So Kane explained how a Don, or, in her case, Donna carried themselves.

Nazario called in the afternoon and wanted to know if they would be attending Mass on Sunday.  The Leone family may be a crime family, but they were still devoted Catholics and had attended Mass every Sunday at St. James’ Cathedral since they started in Seattle.  Kane told his father that they would indeed be there. Nazario reminded Kane that the Morotti family also attended St. James’, even though he had not seen Sebastian or Kurtus for a long time.  However, Zachary and Claudia still attended, along with Portia and Simon. Kane needed to prepare Ara that she might see Zachary and Claudia. Ara took the conversation well and said she would not disappoint him.  Kane reassured Ara, that she could never be a disappointment; he would always be proud of her.

Sunday morning arrived; it was a bright sunny day. Kane and Ara were in the back of the sedan while Ben drove the couple to Mass.  Erik, their new security detail, was in the front seat. Kane wore one of his black Armani suits, crisp white shirt, and a pair of his finest Italian leather shoes.  His beautiful fiancée looked amazing in a plum colored dress and black pumps.

She had placed her hair up in a French twist and wore minimal makeup.  Before leaving the apartment, Kane gave her a pair of diamond earrings that had belonged to his grandmother. They looked fucking awesome on her.

Arriving at St. James’, Ben opened the door, Kane exited the car and assisted Ara out. He then offered his arm, and Ara wrapped her delicate arm around it.  As they walked toward the church, several people stopped and stared at the gorgeous couple; it was as if they had an air of power around them.

"Ara, I am so happy you are here."  Rosa gushed as she gave her a tight hug.

"I am glad to have come.  I have always attended St. Benedict's, but have always wanted to come to St. James’,"

"Well, it is our church home, so now it is yours as well.  After the service today, we will speak to Father Ryan about the wedding."

"Do you think we will be able to have it here?"

"Of course, my dear.  Now, come, let's get inside."

Kane again wrapped her arm around his and, with their heads held high, walked through the large bronze doors into the chapel.  As the Leone family walked toward ‘their pew’, many people began to whisper. They couldn’t help but wonder who the young woman on Kane Leone's arm was.

When they arrived at their seat, Kane went in first with Ara beside him and Rosa on the other side, which left Nazario at the end.  Kane took Ara’s hand, brought it up to his lips, and kissed her knuckles sweetly. Leaning into her ear, he whispered softly. "I can’t wait to get you home so I can fuck you again."

Ara turned to him with a bright blush across her cheeks and sucked in a deep breath.  Kane smiled his signature crooked smile and licked his lips. Ara squeezed her legs together to get some relief.  Damn him. They were in a church for heaven’s sake. She shouldn’t feel this way in God’s house.

"Ara, dear, are you alright, you looked flushed."  Rosa questioned.

"I am fine, just a little warm."  Ara said, trying to deflate the issue of her arousal.

Rosa looked at Ara again, then leaned forward slightly and looked at her. As soon as she did, she saw that crocked smile, and knew immediately that he was up to no good.  "Kane, dear?" Rosa said, softly motioning for him to come closer. When he was close enough so no one else could hear, she hissed,

"I better never see you do that to her again.  Do I make myself clear?"

Kane knew that look in his mother's eyes.  Fuck, he was in trouble. There was only one thing he could say.  "Yes, ma'am."

"Good."

The serviced started and Kane behaved himself; he did not want his mother's wrath.

Across the chapel, Zachary and Claudia Morotti were also in attendance.  Zachary had seen the Leones come in and saw his lovely granddaughter on Kane's arm, walking like the royal princess that she was.

"Zachary, is that her?"  Claudia whispered.

"Yes."

"Oh my, she looks just like your mother."

"I know; that is the first thing that I noticed."

"Can I meet her today?"

"I don't know, but I will try for you, my love."

Father Ryan led the Mass, and when it was over, he walked over to Leone family pew.

"Nazario, so good to see you."

"Same here, Father.  It was a wonderful service."

"Thank you. I see a lovely young lady by Kane's side."

"Yes, Father.  I would like to introduce you to Arabella White, Kane's fiancée."

"Fiancée?  How wonderful."

"It is.  Father, we will be needing your services in the very near future."

"Of course, just name the date."

"Excellent, we will be in touch next week."

"I look forward to it.  Have a blessed afternoon."

"We will."

Nazario offered his arm to Rosa and Kane offered his to Ara and they walked down the aisle and out of the chapel with the rest of the family following close behind.  Once outside, Zachary walked up to Nazario.

"Good day."  Zachary said.

"Good day, Zachary."

"Claudia was wondering if she might be able to meet Arabella."

"It is up to her.  Ara, dear, Zachary's wife would like to meet you."

Ara looked up at Kane and drew her strength from him.  "Only if you want to, my love." He said.

"Okay."  Ara stated.

Nazario nodded at Zachary.

"Arabella, my dear, let me introduce to you your grandmother, Claudia."

Ara watched as the woman standing by Zachary stepped forward.  She was a petite woman with light gray hair and sparkling blue eyes.  Even in her old age, she was still a very beautiful woman.

"Arabella it is my honor to meet you."

"Same here."  Ara said, holding out her hand.

Claudia really wanted to hug her, but she knew she needed to go slow.  So, she took Ara’s hand and lightly shook it.

"Arabella you look lovely today."  Zachary said.

"Thank you."

"I hope we can get together soon and discuss your decision."

At this point, Kane stepped forward, and wrapped his arm around her waist.  "Zachary, we have made a decision. We will be contacting you in a few days to let you know."

"Certainly.  We will go now."  Zachary said, taking Claudia's hand.

"Goodbye, Zachary, Claudia."  Ara said.

"Goodbye, my dear."  Claudia said with a tear in her eye.  Zachary had been right; she was wonderful.

Kane and Ara walked to their car, with Erik watching out for any dangers, where Ben was waiting and got in.  They talked about the meeting and Kane praised her on the way she handled herself. Soon they arrived at Nazario's home for Sunday lunch.

Rosa's housekeeper had prepared a wonderful lunch and they sat around the table and enjoyed each other’s company.  After lunch, they went out to deck and sat down.

"Kane, have you and Ara made a decision?"  Nazario asked.

Kane looked at Ara and smiled.  Ara smiled back and then took the posture that Kane had instructed.  Her back was straight, shoulders back, her chin was up, and she looked Nazario dead in the eyes.  With a strong and powerful voice, she answered for both of them. "We have decided will merge the families and run them together."

Kane matched Ara's posture and looked at his father with the look of power and complete control.

Nazario looked at Ara in amazement.  Here before him was the future. What a wonderful future it was.

"I am so proud of you both.  And I promise to help in any way you need to make this transition as smooth as possible.  We need to let Zachary know, so we can get his feelings on the matter."

"We will contact him tomorrow."  Kane said.

*************

Across town, Sebastian was smiling as he walked out of his playroom.  Fuck, there was nothing like fucking a virgin. Hearing them cry out in pain, he slammed his large cock into them, tearing their virginal barrier. When he finally found his own release, he’d pull out and admire the blood staining his cock.  Over the years, he had had sex with hundreds of women, but nothing compared to taking one’s virginity.

Fuck, he could remember his first virgin, Luna Santo.  She was a brunette beauty from the village. He led her on and made her believe that he was in love with her. She fell for it.  She had told him that she was virgin and was waiting to share that with her husband. However, Sebastian wine and dined her and made her believe that he loved her, and then he convinced her to give him her virginity.  He brought her to his parents' home, took her to his old bedroom, and stripped all his clothes off. Standing before with his cock in his hand, he began to pump it and when a pearl of pre-cum came out the tip.

"Take off your clothes."

Luna did so slowly; her hands were shaking so hard.  After she was naked, she folded her arms over her breasts and held her legs tightly together.

"Get on the bed."

She climbed on the bed, but continued to keep her arms tightly around her and her legs tightly together.

Sebastian crawled onto the bed like a lion stalking his prey, took her legs, and spread them far apart.  Soon, he was eating her pussy until it was raw, and then rammed his cock down her throat. She loved it. When she least expected it, he rammed into her.  She cried out in pain and tried to get away from him, but he was relentless as he claimed her.

"Fuck, you are so tight."

"Sebastian, please stop!"  Luna cried.

"Fuck no! You agreed and you will take it."

Then, at that moment, Sebastian’s father walked in.  He tried to get him to stop, but Sebastian finished and pulled out of her.  Looking down, he saw the blood; it made him want to do it again and again. His father helped Luna out of the room and paid her off.  Then his father sat him down and talked to about the right way and wrong way to treat a woman. Fuck him; the old man knew nothing about how to claim a woman.

His cow of a wife gave him two sons, Kurtus and Simon.  Kurtus grew up to be just like him, which pleased him to no end, but Simon was a crying momma's boy.  Leaving Simon with his mother, Sebastian took Kurtus and taught him all about bondage, how to fuck and use women, and how to run the family business.

His fucking father decided he would continue to run the family, but would turn it over to his oldest grandchild.  Sebastian and Kurtus plotted to kill off Zachary and then they would run the business together.

The door to Sebastian's office opened and in walked Kurtus.

"Hey Dad."

"Kurtus,
