Chapter 14

Cillian

After we got off the phone, we all fell into silence as we took in all the information, we had just learned our passion and discussion about who would be the one to legally marry Jessica was forgotten but not for long.

We had just a few hours left of the flight and I took this opportunity to pour myself a strong drink for all of us. "Do you think that we should still go through with the wedding and blessing given what we have just learned? Alice and Alesso might need us."

Jessica's voice pulled me from my internal thoughts, making me frown at her. "Have you changed your mind?"

"No, of course I haven't. I just don't want people to think we are being insensitive. What's happening is huge and I just think they might need our support right now. I can't imagine how Alice is feeling right now."

I loved how much Jessica cared so much for Alice, but there was no way this was being put off.

"Jessica, while I love how much you want to support Alice and how much you want to be there for Alesso and Alice, this is not being postponed. We are already so close to Vegas, and I know when I say this, I speak for Arturo as well, this is too important for all of us and for our families. We want you to be our wife and we want to make it official more than anything, but on top of that, this will solidify our families' connections to each other within our world."

"Is that why you want to marry me? To solidify your family's connection."

"God, no. We want you to be our wife. Jessica, we love you more than our own lives. Marrying you is something I have thought about since we saw you on the computer screen that day and I know Arturo feels the same."

Arturo smiled at Jessica reassuringly before he got up out of his seat and moved to sit beside her, taking her small hand that was capable of inflicting devastating destruction to our enemies, which was just another among many reasons we had fallen so hard and fast for Jessica.

"I took a drink of my scotch as Arturo turned to face Jessica, smiling reassuringly. "He is right, killer. You are everything to us and the fact that you fit into our world so perfectly is just a bonus. You were made for us, and we want nothing more than to wake up next to you every day for the rest of our lives as your husbands." Jessica gave Arturo and I a small smile but I could still see some uncertainty in her eyes.

It was then that Arturo spoke once more, shocking both Jessica and I. "Cillian, should be the one who is legally your husband. You will be both our wife; we know that, but he should be your legal husband, but I have an idea that will solidify our connection more, and that is to change all of our last name."

I smiled knowing exactly where Arturo was going with this and I hadn't thought of it before but it was perfect. "Arturo, I think your idea is perfect. I will change my last name to Grey. Your name carries far more weight and I hate to admit but fear than mine, and that way will all have the same name."

I smiled when Arturo tipped his glass to me. "Shouldn't we have changed our names before we decided to fly to Vegas? Or at least Cillian should have. Now we are going to change my name again when we get home."

"We can have all of that arranged for when we get home. It will be very simple and fast. What do you say? Are you up for it, Jessica?" I think the fact that I was more than happy to change my name seemed to have made Jessica relax a little.

"I guess it makes sense. Are you sure you're OK with Cillian being legally my husband?"

Arturo relaxed a little more, gently stroking Jessica's hand while kissing her neck, as Jessica melted into Arturo's kisses and touch. She was so fucking stunning and I couldn't believe that she was ours and would be for eternity. We were the luckiest fuckers alive, though I'm sure Alesso, Christian and even Luca would disagree.

It still shocked me how fast all of our lives had changed so much and so dramatically, and in such a wonderful way. I know we have a lot that we have to face when we get back home, but knowing that we would be returning as husbands and wife made me feel like we could take on the world and win, every time.

I smiled when Arturo's kisses became more passionate as his hand disappeared beneath the table as soft moans escaped from Jessica's mouth, instantly making me so hard that I had to stroke myself to ease the ache the scene before me created.

The greatest feeling was being inside the woman I loved, but watching Jessica like this with Arturo was almost as incredible.

I released my painful erection as Arturo's hand moved in faster motions and Jessica's moans became louder and more urgent. Arturo tore his gaze away from Jessica's stunning face and winked at me before removing his and just before her orgasm hit her stood and picked Jessica up, carrying her to the back of the plane, where I knew there was a huge bed waiting for us.

This was Arturo's plane that we had travelled in more times than I could count, and usually we used this bed for any woman we found to share or the stewardess we would hire knowing that they would never deny us, but this was different.

This was our soon-to-be wife.

I wasted no time as I rose, removing my clothes as I followed them both and climbed on the bed beside Jessica, kissing her as Arturo began to remove Jessica's clothes.

Once Jessica was naked, we both lay on the bed and watched Arturo remove his own clothes, and I couldn't deny how hot Arturo looked, especially when he climbed up the bed pushing Jessica's legs apart and smiled as he took in what I knew was Jessica's-soaked pussy.

Arturo lowered himself, inhaling her intoxicating scent before taking a long, slow lick, gathering her sweet taste on his tongue before he moved up the bed. I didn't even hesitate when Arturo leaned over, smiling mischievously and invitingly as he leaned toward me so that he could kiss me, and when he did, her addictive taste filled my mouth.

"Our wife is delicious, isn't she?" Jessica groaned and I watched from the corner of my eye, Jessica pinching her nipples that were so inviting, as she watched Arturo and I.

"She is intoxicating." I gave Arturo a light push to get him moving and he didn't object as he crawled to the side of Jessica and I leaned forward to take the nipple Jessica had been pinching and began to lick it inciting a soft moan from Jessica.

The sound was so fucking sexy!

With a slight bite to Jessica's nipples, I moved down her body, kissing every inch of her delectable body as I did.

When I reached her pussy, I lifted her legs over my shoulder and buried my head between her thighs, groaning as I pressed my tongue at her entrance and made circles with my finger on her clit.

I looked up as I continued alternating between penetrating her with my tongue and sucking her clit rolling it between my lips I watched as Arturo held his huge, very hard cock and held it to Jessica's lips and moaned when she eagerly opened her mouth wide allowing Arturo to slide inside her mouth.

I would never get over how fucking sexy it was to watch them together.

I tore my eyes away from them to concentrate on Jessica who tightly grabbed my hair and holding my head tight to her pussy making me moan against her as the pain of her pulling my hair spurred her on.

Arturo's moans grew loud and I knew he was close as was Jessica as she lifted her hips grinding her pussy against my mouth chasing the orgasm she needed but…not yet. I wanted to feel her come on my cock.

I sat up smiling when Jessica protested and moved so Arturo's cock dropped from her mouth glistening with Jessica's spit. "Why did you stop? I was just about to come."

"Because, baby, I want you to come on my cock. Now be a good girl and suck your husband's cock, while I fill your pussy." Jessica turned her head and looked up at Arturo who was smiling down at her as she grabbed the base of his cocked and wrapped her mouth around him sucking him in deep.

I placed my cock at Jessica's entrance and with one hard thrust I smiled when Jessica screamed around Arturo's cock but never lost her momentum as she continued moving her mouth up and down taking him deeper each time.

I thrust into her slowly at first loving the feeling of her pussy tightening around me getting wetter by the second. It was fucking ecstasy. This right here was my heaven.

The more Jessica tightened around me and the closer she got to her release, I began to chase mine as well, and judging by how fast Arturo thrust into Jessica's mouth and how loud Arturo's moans became, I knew he was close to his own release.

Our moans sounded like a fucking symphony as my balls tightened and I felt Jessica's orgasm pull my own from me as Arturo stilled with a loud cry and tightened his pull on Jessica's hair as he threw his head back.

Arturo's cock fell from Jessica's mouth as I pulled my cock out of her incredible pussy, I watched mesmerised as my cum began to slip from her as she continued to shake. Once we all came down from our orgasms, we collapsed on the bed taking in this blissful moment, until Jessica broke the silence, making us all laugh.

"Well, that was the perfect introduction to the mile high club. I can scratch that off my bucket list."

We had another couple of hours before we landed so we all fell into a blissful sleep in each other's arms.

Alesso

I don't know how long I sat watching Alice tossing and turning in her sleep but I couldn't turn away from her or leave her. So much had changed for her in the last 24 hours, and after our discussion with her father, which she didn't know anything about, yet so much more was going to change and I just hoped that she would be ok with it because her father wouldn't give her a choice and I didn't blame him.

Alice began to stir and I thought it was still her tossing and turning until she began to cry in her sleep and without a second's hesitation I was out of my chair and beside her gently shaking her up, not wanting her to suffer more than she already had.

Alice's eyes opened and as soon as she saw me, she threw herself in my arms and sobbed, and the sound of her cries broke my heart and made me tighten my arms around her.

"Are you ok, Alice?"

"I had a dream about what Cian told us. It was so awful. How could anyone hurt a child?"

"I don't know. I can't understand how someone can be that evil either."

"Has anyone in your family ever hurt a child? I know what you do and I know that it is along the same lines as Cian. I just need to know that your family has never and would never do anything like that."

I could see the guilt in her eyes and I know mine would be filled with offence and shock that she would ever think that we would do anything like that to anyone innocent, let alone a child.

"How could you ask me that, Alice. Do you really think that we would be capable of hurting a child?" Alison began to talk fast as she explained why she would ask me such a question.

"I don't mean you and your brothers or sister. I just… well I was asking about your family in the past. I know we talked about how different things are now that you and your siblings have taken over, but did anyone from your family in the past… well you know what I'm asking."

"We have never and we will never hurt anyone innocent and most certainly not a child." I couldn't hide the disgust in my voice." I started to get up off the bed, but Alice grabbed my arm, halting my movements.

"I'm sorry. I should never have asked. Of course, I know you would never do that." I was still offended and needed time to think, so I took Alice's hand and planted a kiss on her forehead before I stood up and made my way to the bedroom door.

"I'll be back soon. I just have a few things I need to do. I just wanted to check on you." I couldn't look at her, so I pulled open the door and left the room, heading for the kitchen.

I don't know how long I had been in the kitchen nursing a large glass of scotch when the door opened. I took a deep breath and turned, thinking that it was Alice, but sighed in a mixture of relief and disappointment when I saw Christian entering the kitchen.

"Hey, brother. Why are you sitting down here in the dark?" I hadn't even noticed that the only light in the room was the moonlight from outside.

"I was just thinking."

"About, Alice?"

"Yeah. Why are you awake and not with Ana?"

"Ana is asleep and I couldn't sleep so I thought I would get some work done in the office. I was just coming to get something to eat. Have you spoken to Alice, yet?

"Yeah, she woke up a while ago."

"How did she take everything we talked about with her dad?

"We didn't get to that subject, yet" Christian frowned at me as he poured both of us a drink.

"Well, if you didn't talk about that what did you talk about?" I drained my glass and held it out for Christian who was still holding the bottle to pour me another.

"She had a nightmare, though we didn't talk about what that was about, but when she woke up, she asked if we had ever hurt a child. Or should I say the people that were the head of our family in the past." I looked up at Christian, thinking I would see the same disgust I was feeling written on his face but all I saw was a sad smile.

"Let me guess you were offended and walked out and that's why you're down here drinking alone in the dark?"

"Yeah, do you not find her question offensive?"

"Well, it's not a great question to get from the woman you love, but come on Alesso, after everything Alice has learned and witnessed and the life we are involved in, and she is now involved in, can you not see it from her perspective? Her aunt, who she has only just found out about, killed 2 children and her parents. Given the fact that we are in the same lifestyle, of course she would have questions, and while I see it from your point of view I also see it from hers."

Christian sat beside me and placed his hand on my shoulder reassuringly.

"Give her a break. She is scared, confused, overwhelmed. She just watched her father kill 2 people. She has every right to ask all the questions she wants. It's your job to reassure her. In fact, it's all our job to reassure her. When Ana found out about us, she had questions, and I could have found them offensive but she had the right to have those questions answered."

Christian squeezed my shoulder and stood up, placing his empty glass in the sink. "Be patient with her, Alesso. Deep down she knows that we would never hurt children. She knows we are not monsters. Next time she asks the hard and possibly in your eyes offensive, and believe me, there will be more, you cannot leave her alone. That is when she will need your patience and understanding more than ever."

Christian looked above my head and smiled before walking to the door and squeezed my shoulder once more before leaning down and whispering "Patience." Then left the kitchen just as Alice came into the room.

Alice walked into the room smiling sheepishly, then grabbed a glass before pouring herself a drink.

"I'm sorry, Alesso. It's just been so much to take in. Of course, I know you would hurt a child. None of you would. I guess part of me needed to know that no one in your family would do that because I'm scared that a member of mine did, and even though I didn't know her and I'm glad I didn't, what of that darkness runs in the family? What if I have that darkness in me? I know you and your family are wonderful, loving people, but what if I end up like Cian's sister?"

The tears were falling down Alison's cheeks as she stared down at her drink that she had yet to take a drink of. My brother was right, she had the right to know the answers to her questions, especially if the lack of answers was going to make her feel like this about herself.

I grabbed Alison's hand and my drink plus the bottle and told Alison's to grab hers as I walked us both to the front room, wanting us both to be comfortable because I knew there would be more questions that I would have to answer.

Once we were in the front room and comfortable I turned to Alice placing our drinks on the coffee table and Answered her first question of the night.

"Alison, I swear my family including those that are no longer with us would never and have never hurt children. In fact, we punish those that do. I know what we did to Gino and Isabelle and what your father did to them probably seemed cold and evil, but believe me they deserved it."

"I know they did, but that's the thing, I agree with what happened and I am glad they are gone, but I'm scared of that what that means for me. I'm scared that makes me…"

"You're scared it makes you as bad as Cian's sister?"

"Yes, but I don't think that you or your family are evil but you said yourself none of you or your family have or would never hurt a child but I am related to that woman as she butchered those children. Do you think that makes me evil?

I hated that this was how Alice felt about herself and I suddenly felt like shit for walking out of the bedroom and left her with these feeling inside of her.

"Alice, I need you to hear me when I tell you this, Ok?" Alice nodded her head and eye could see then unshed tears in her eyes that broke my heart.

"You are the most beautiful person I know with a heart and soul that takes my breath away, with how pure and wonderful you are. There is not an evil bone in your body and there never will be. It's the love, compassion, and empathy you have for people even after what you have been through."

I lifted Alice's hand to my lips and kissed the palm of her hand. "These hands will never be used to hurt anyone. Instead, they will be used to embrace the people you love, hold the people who need comfort and one day hope they will be used to love, embrace, kiss, and hold our children. You truly are everything good, and pure in this world." Alice gave me a beautiful smile that finally reached her eyes.

"Alice, answer me this, if you had never found out what Cian's sister did, would you have thought you had the potential to be evil, or hurt anyone innocent, let alone a child?"

"God, no."

"Exactly. The only thing that has changed is what you were told. You haven't changed and you never will. One of the things I fell in love with about you is the love and compassion you hold inside. You are incredible, sensational, wonderful, the list is endless. Please don't ever forget that."

The tears in Alice's eyes were flowing down her cheeks as she listened to everything I was saying. When I finished, Alice moved closer to me to hug be as those tears continued to fall as she hugged me so tight and I never wanted to let her go.

"Thank you, Alesso. You have no idea how much I needed to hear that." I squeezed her back knowing that I would have to tell her about how Cian was going to have her driven around with a fleet of vehicles and bodyguards and I knew that was going to be another overwhelming conversation. I had wanted to have that conversation tonight, but when I looked down at Alice, whose head was resting on my shoulder, I decided to take her to bed and leave this conversation for the morning. Today had been a long day and she needed this bit of peace.

When I reached the bedroom with Alice and placed her gently on the bed, she didn't stir, so I climbed in beside her and pulled her to my arms before I let exhaustion take me and I fell asleep with the woman I love in my arms.
