Smitten: A Mafia Romance — Chapter 89

Their exhausted and sweaty bodies were still wrapped together, none of them said a word trying not to ruin the blissful moment.

How they went from hugging to kissing and he ending up pounding into her in the bedroom wasn't what they both planned or expected to happen.

The sex was still as great as Korina remembered, even better.

Korina remembered Jace's hands, tongue and mouth were still very skillful.

"Damn, that was great." She let out in a raspy breath, "God!"

"I missed you." He said kissing the top of her forehead and then proceeding to kiss her. She climbed on top of him and began grinding against his erection leading to yet another vigorous love making session.

Korina woke up naked the next morning to an empty bed side and rumpled sheets, "Holy fuck, no!" She screeched on realising what happened the previous nights.

She and Jace's clothes were still all over the floor, she shook her head hoping Andre wasn't awoken by her moans, she grabbed her rob and went out of the room.

She got into the hallways and the aroma of pancakes hit her nostrils, she knew Jace was definitely in the kitchen cooking. She went in there and found him in his trousers from last night at the counter and memories from how he always made breakfast years ago invaded her mind.

Andre was sitting at the counter already stuffing his face with pancakes.

"Mummy." He squealed excitedly running towards her, "This was the man I told you I met at school."

Korina frowned at Jace and he shrugged.

"Have you had your breakfast baby?" She asked soothing his hair.

"Yes mummy." He smiled, "The nice man made breakfast."

"You enjoyed it?"

"Yes mum." He said, "I wanna go play with my building blocks."

"Okay baby." She bent and kissed his head, "Have fun."

Andre blew her a kiss and ran to his room.

"He has my energy and my looks but he got your hair." Jace said leaning against the counter, "I can't believe we both brought that beautiful creature into the world."

"Jace!" She called sternly trying not to get distracted by his abs, "We need to talk."

"I know." He shook his head staring sadly at her.

The silence was uneasy and deafening, none of them said a thing, the air was tension filled.

Jace didn't want to say anything that would piss her off or bring about bad memories.

"I am so sorry Korina." He apologised, "I am sorry for all the pain I caused you, I am sorry for every thing."

"Is that so Jace?" She asked angrily, "Why did you keep it away from me?"

"I didn't want to hurt you, I swear." He told her, "I thought keeping it away from you would be the best."

"Where is Russo?" She asked.

"Dead." He said without emotions, "Remember the first time you came to New York on your birthday, he was responsible for the shooting, he did it to hurt me cause I knew I had interest in you then."

"So you killed him?" She wouldn't be shocked if he did.

"No, I did it." He sighed, "He killed himself." Jace told her.

"I want you to leave." She stood up, "I need time to process all these."

"Korina, please give me another chance." He pleaded, "I promise you won't regret it."

"Leave Jace." She said, although she didn't want him to, her heart was breaking.

"What about Andre?" Jace asked, "My son needs me."

"Oh now, you know you have a son?" She laughed dryly.

"I tried to reach you babe, you blocked me everywhere and covered your tracks." He told her, "I couldn't trace you."

"Well." She shrugged, "Did you email me?"

The fuck? He stared at her like she had gone nuts, email? She's still the crazy woman I fell in love with.

"Korina." Jace started, "I want you to think about this, about our son, about you and me." He stood up, moved closer to her and took her hands in his, "We can still be happy and whole again, we can still be back to the way things were, how things were and even better, please."

She was crying again, he took her face in his hands and kissed her eyes, "I will leave." He whispered.

Jace left soon and she crashed on the couch, loneliness seeping into her even Andre's liveliness couldn't fill the void.

"How did it go?" Ade asked on seeing Jace coming into their hotel suite.

"I don't wanna talk about it man." He replied gruffly, "I just wanna sleep it off, I am exhausted."

"Okay." Ade shrugged, "I am going out anyway."

"Okay man." Jace went into his room and shut the door. He laid on his bed looking at the ceilings.

Things were going so well, He thought, why did she suddenly switch up?

He missed his son and her.

He wanted to have them both in his arms at the moment but sadly, things were different.
