Lion's Den Ch. 06

"Go and shower while I feed Luca. He'll suck then he'll go to sleep." Max winked at Leo.

Leo came out of the shower with an erection like iron. Through out the shower he kept imagining Max naked and ready for him. Legs spread. Mouth filled with filthy words. And when he walked in to the bedroom that is what was awaiting him.

"Come here Lion. Come touch me. Stroke me. Fill me with your cum."

Leo needed no other invitation. He got onto the bed and told Max to close her eyes. Last night was all about giving it to her hard and fast. This morning he was going to seduce her.

"Close your eyes." His gentle asking was new and intriguing so Max complied.

And with that he began to trail his fingers over every inch of her body. Every spot he touched felt hot. Max wanted to open her eyes to see his face but knew he would not allow it. Even when he got off the bed she kept her eyes closed. He would have to command her to open it.

He returned to the bed with jar of cocoa butter which he proceeded to rub into Max. He started with her back. His strong hands made Max jelly. When he moved to her front he attempted to be clinical about it and restrain himself. His walls began to crumble as Max's moans increased indicating impatience. He massaged her breasts, but his gentleness with her nipples served to excite her further. Her tongue made peek-a-boo appearance to lick the lips she was biting. When it came out again Leo dove down and sucked it into his own mouth. They remained in their heated embrace for awhile heightening their arousal. With a gentle nudge Leo with his knee Max spread legs.

"Open you eyes tesoro." She looked deep into his eyes as he slowly sunk himself into her. "Stai bene?" He asked as a tear slipped from her eyes.

"I'm good. Real good." Max had never felt so connected to Leo.

Leo took his time, letting his penis caress Max's velvet glove. It was heaven for both of them. Their intimate copulation brought them to a simultaneous climax.

With their fingers intertwined they snuggled against each other. This gave Leo the perfect opportunity to bring up the proposal.

"I see you have not taken it off." Leo said stroking Max's ring finger.

"You see correct." Max replied with a smile on her satiated face. "I meant to thank you for my push present."

"Your what?"

"Isn't this what it is? You got me gift for giving you a son?"

"Woman! I gave you a ring to ask you to be my wife?" Leo's heart began to race.

"And I was supposed to know that,how?"

"It's on your ring finger."

"Oh yeah it is isn't it." Max replied feigning surprise.

"So what's your answer?"

"Answer to what? You have not asked me anything."

"Maxine Francesca La Costa, my baby mama, would you do me the honour of being my wife?"

"For how long?"

"Forever, you minx."

"Well in that case...yes."

Leo squeezed Max even more to him. She could not see the look of relief on his face, but the sigh and kisses on her neck told her everything.

******

Both Max's and Leo's families were elated at their impending nuptial. They set the date for New Years Eve. With only six months to plan the wedding Max went into full planning mode. Leo was in charge of selecting the venues for the pre-wedding and day-of events.

This was an idyllic time for them. Preparing for a wedding, caring for their son and Leo's monthly trips to NY seemed to have a synchronistic flow. One morning during their daily wedding update meeting an enormous bouquet of flowers arrived. Ever since they had announced their engagement friends and family had been sending them congratulatory gifts.

"Hey Max this one is for you." Leo called out as he signed for it.

"Who's it from?"

"I don't know, probably one of your language professors." He thought so due to the non-English writing.

"Huh?"

"Yeah take a look at the card." Leo walked into the kitchen with the stellar arrangement.

Max looked up to take the card and immediately her face blanched. The arrangement told her immediately who had sent it. Ari.

"Son of a bitch!"thought Max. Ari had duplicated the bouquet he had given her after their first night together. Leo studied Max face as she read the card. He could tell she was seething. Colour had risen from her chest up her neck to her face."Who the hell could send Max into such a rage?"he thought.

"Max what is it?" Leo was concerned as Max tore up the card and threw it in the trash.

"Nothing. Gimme a minute." She needed to wash her face and cool down. Max knew Leo had questions and she could not dodge them all.

When she returned to the kitchen Leo could tell she was calmer but her mind was elsewhere.

"Now are you ready to tell me what that was about?"

"Not really, but I'd rather get it over with." Max stared out to the backyard as she spoke. She could not look at Leo just yet. "The card was from my ex, Ari."

"What does that punk want?" Leo remembered what Max had shared with him about Ari.

"The card said he wanted to congratulate me on my upcoming wedding and the baby."

"Why did that piss you off?" Leo was being careful not betray the ire he was feeling. He'd spoken more to his sister about his relationship with Max and she warned him to keep his temper and possessiveness in check.

"I don't know it just felt invasive. The flowers were the first arrangement he ever sent to me." Max finished telling Leo her version of the truth.

Leo gritted his teeth at the nerve of Ari. Yet he had a feeling Max was holding something back.

Max felt Leo hand loop around her waist to reassure her all was alright. She felt like there was a stone in her chest. She knew Leo detested lying, but in her mind it was an acceptable risk. Ari had actually written:

You're welcome and congratulations on the wedding. Tell Luca his Uncle Ari says hi. Be seeing you Max.

She could never tell Leo verbatim what was in the card. Ari would not hurt her physically, but he could wreck her world if it got out that she asked him to kill Peretti for her.

******

"Dude did you pack everything in the car?" Max asked surveying their home.

"Max I know you are accustomed to concierges and bellboys but I can manage."

"Oh I know you can, but I gotta do one more check."

"Then go then. I just hope you know you have OCD." Leo sent her away smacking her on her bottom.

Max laughed and walked back into the house. They were heading up to New York to finish all the final details for the wedding. She was nervous not just for the wedding, but it would be Luca's debut into their other world.

******

The lights of New York spiked Max's heartbeat. As much as she loved North Carolina, New York was home. She always thought she would return here after graduation, go to NYU for her Phd, live as a posh-bohemian, but in just over a year plans had changed drastically. She was now a graduate, mother, and wife-to-be. The car ride to Brooklyn did nothing to diminish her nostalgia.Perhaps raising Luca here would not be that bad.

"Ta da!" Leo declared as they walked into the brownstone.

Not only had Leo baby-proofed the place, he had redecorated to include pictures of them. It was definitely a far cry from the heady bachelor pad Max had first encountered.

"Oh I love it Leo!" Max exclaimed. She really did appreciate the lengths he had gone through to make his placetheirhome.

"I am glad you do, cara." He beamed from head to toe. His family was home.

"Let me give Luca his feeding then I can really so you how much I love it."

Max and Leo made all kinds of crazy love while Luca slept. Leo was concerned that Max would recall what went down between them the last time she was there. But nothing came from his worry, instead it seemed like all was forgotten. Life was getting better and better.

******

Max stifled a yawn as the sun streamed in over her naked body. Leo was on his back and she had one leg swung over his with her hand over his chest. The rhythm of his heart made her stomach flutter. As many times as she had woken in this position it never ceased to amaze her. Leo was hers. All hers. She tried to shimmy from Leo's slumbered embrace, but he tightened his arm around her opening his eyes to look at her.

"Morning babe."

"Morning. Can I go pee?"

Leo laughed releasing her. He spent so many nights in this bed without Max that he thought for a second he was hallucinating and wanted to keep the vision as long as possible.

When she came back from the toilet Max was greeted by the sight of Leo's rigid manhood calling to her.

"Well good morning to you Mr. Woody. Can I be of service? Is this what you want?" Max asked getting on her knees taking him in to her mouth. Having just brushed her teeth the mint added nice tingle to the tip of Leo's cock. Although he had received some amazing head the night before, starting his day with his dick in Max mouth was heavenly.

Max's throat muscles tightened around Leo's cock. She loved hearing him groan and cuss when she performed a swallowing technique. Max freed his cock for a moment to attend to his neglected balls. Leo could feel a surge of desire rise in him as he twisted his hand into her hair. Hearing his familiar grunt Max quickly returned to his leaking rod. His hips bucked up off the bed and he unloaded his semen. Spurt after spurt filled her hungry mouth. Max tried to swallow as much as she could while still sucking on the sensitive tip. With his energy zapped and penis deflated Max smiled at her handiwork.

******

Leo smiled looking over at Max as they drove out to Long Island for their engagement party. The memories from her mouth servicing him this morning had him feeling tingly.

"You know I owe you for this morning?"

"Owe me for what? It was my pleasure."

"Yeah I know you love sucking the life out of me." Leo glanced at Max's grinning face. She was a sexual deviant, but he knew her buttons. "Hike up your dress."

"What?"

"You heard me. I said hike up your dress."

"Leo stop playing, you're driving." Max was less afraid of them crashing than she was of being with their parents and smelling of sex. Also, of people watching them. The road was not as busy as it would be during the summer, but still there were some cars on the road.

"Max I will pull this car over and fuck you right here right now, so don't test me."

The threat made her nipples harden even more. She complied and raised her dress up.

"Give me your panties."

Without any back talk she took the panties off and handed it to him. He moaned, licked the crotch then tossed them out the window. Max head whipped back in horror as her underwear now lay on the L.I.E. However, she knew better than to protest. Whatever Leo had up his sleeve would be worth losing a panty over.

"Spread your legs."

To get more comfortable Max slid her seat back and put her legs on the dashboard.

"Now you are going to feed me your cum. And don't be stingy because I am very hungry."

Max dipped her fingers into her pussy. It had been getting wetter and wetter since Leo began his game. Now as her fingers began to stroke in to get some juice for Leo it flowed, the seat beneath her was getting soaked.Thank the Lord for leather.She gave him her fingers to suck. She dipped in and swirled it collecting as much as she could and gave him it to suck again.

"Undo your buttons. I want to see your breasts."

Max's skin was beginning to feel charged. Her fingers fumbled with buttons. When her breasts were freed he reached over and thumbed her nipples. Max bit her lip and squirmed in her seat. She went back to feeding Leo to try and neutralize the sensations that were building. Leo could see that Max was trying to control herself, so when she put her fingers in his mouth he sucked on it and would not release it. The sucking motions mimicked what her would do to her nipples if her could. Simultaneously he pinched her nipple. This caused Max to scream out and writhe in her seat uncontrollably panting his name. Tears ran down her face as she soared to brain frying heights. She was definitely adding to her list of best orgasms.

The only thing that broke the reverie and brought them back to reality was Luca. Max's scream had startled him out of his sleep. Leo and Max looked at each other and laughed. She cooed and sang to Luca until he dozed off. She tried in vain for the next few minutes to make herself look presentable.

The whole clan was meeting in Long Island for their engagement party. Isabelle had begged to throw the event at her home and Max was happy to not have to plan it. She knew many of the guests were coming just to see the girl that snagged the elusive Leo Carbone. She had already been warned about the potential cattiness.

Leo pulled around to the stables so Max could get to the house without being seen. He really had done a number on her, and she needed somewhere to put herself back together. They called ahead and asked Tara to meet them to take Luca. Leo took Max upstairs to his old bedroom which had a private bathroom. She stripped down so she could see all the damage done to her dress.

"Leo I could kill you!" Max shrieked. There was a huge cum stain on her dress from where it ran down in the seat.

"Why didn't you raise it higher, you know you spout like a fountain?" Leo was lying on his bed watching her throw daggers at him.

With that comment Max dropped her dress and came out to fight him. She jumped on the bed and began to punch him. He easily flipped her on her back and restrained her hands over her head. Max now wished she had thought better of fighting with Leo as she was at a naked disadvantage.

"Ok I give." She said defeated.

"I don't think so Max."

"You wanted a fight. We gonna have a fight, but just the way I prefer to do it with you."

Max felt his hard-on nudging her. "See that? I come with my own weapon."

She thought about his tool ploughing into her and readily gave in. When he felt her relax he eased off the bed to undress. The piece by piece revelation of his body heightened Max's arousal. She kneeled on the bed watching him and fingering herself. She could feel another orgasm building, and tossed her head back to let it wash over her. Her hands were yanked from her pussy, and sucked.

"Only with my permission Max. Now bend over."

Max bent over with her forehead on the bed and her arms outstretched. Leo placed his hands on her hips and pushed into her with a deep sigh. He stroked her slowly and Max luxuriated in the feelings of euphoria coursing through her. Leo pulled out of her yearning pussy and pressed into her ass. This is what Max had been waiting for.

"Oh yessss baby. Deeper. Ahhh just like that."

"Fuck me Max." With that command Max rolled her hips taking more of Leo's dick each time. When he bottomed out he wove his fingers in her hair and rode her hard. Max was speechless and breathless as she allowed waves and waves of orgasm crash over her. Leo spanked her as she drew his strength again. He pulled out to deposit the rest of his spunk down her back. He loved to watch it paint her skin.

"Damn baby, don't we have guests to meet." Leo commented lying next to her playing with her slit. He loved the silky feel of her juicy pussy. They were both exhausted and still in a haze.

"I am sure your mom is doing a great job."

"Still we gotta act like mature adults and appear."

"Cool but my dress is still ruined."

"Look in my closet and find something."

"What! Are you mental? I am not going to our engagement party as a crossdresser."

"Just look would ya."

Max got up and looked in the closet. Much to her surprise Leo had some dresses in there. Her dresses, shoes, underwear, jeans.

"Leo what the hell is this?"

"I figured that if ever we come to Long Island, I would not have a hard time convincing you to stay if you had some clothes here."

"Great plan, but you sound like a crazy person."

"See what I put up with all day. You and your plans, it's rubbing off on me." He teased.

******

Leo and Max walked into the party holding hands and grinning at each other. Max looked stunning in a mauve 50's style dress, she paired with a silver ballet slipper. She accessorized with silver jewelry. Leo wore a grey suit with a light grey shirt and mauve tie. Max had laughed at how matchy matchy they looked.

Most of the guests were there already, and could not wait to question the couple. Isabella had outdone herself. Max started to wonder if she should have just let Isabella do the wedding also. The woman had a touch and Max did not hesitate to let her know when saw her. It was October, but the weather was unseasonably warm. Isabelle was making great use of this by turning the patio into the bar and out door lounge.

"Isabella this party is fantastic. I can't thank you enough. The flowers are amazing. Everyone is having so much fun. Look at Luca, just sucking up all that attention." Max kissed her mother-in-law to be with gratitude.

Leo escorted her from group to group introducing her to various cousins and extended family, but he was saving a special introduction for last, his sister.

"Hey Tori!" he said sweeping her into his arms.

"Hey Bro. Dude your son is awesome. I got to hold him for a while and he was all smiles. And is this the lady of the evening?" Tori let go of Leo's arm and gave Max a curtsey.

"Apparently so. Victoria it is so nice to finally meet you."

"Girl I could not miss this for the world. I flew in just for the party, but I'll be back for the wedding." Victoria assured them. She grew up in New York, but anyone who met her would not guess. She was all California. She was a sophomore at CalTech, and an devoted surfer. Her skin was toasty, reflecting her love for the sun.

They stood together chatting for awhile until they were interrupted by Carmine tapping his glass.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank you all for coming to celebrate this joyous occasion with us. Isabella and I could not be more happy to welcome Max into our family. She is everything and more we could have wanted in a daughter-in-law. And you know must take a special woman to reel and keep Leo. To the wonderful couple,Salud!"

"Salud!"

A succession of speeches followed, with lots of requests for more children.

******

Max stared at her blurry face in the mirror running through all the up coming events and holidays. She was so engrossed in her thoughts it took her few moments to recognize another face was reflecting back at her. The smiled she was forming to greet Leo was cut short when she saw his eyes. She had not seen his face this dark in a long time, and it worried her.

"What's wrong?" she forced out.

"What do you need to thank Ari for Max? And why the fuck does he think he'll be seeing you." Leo's voice was calm and cold.

"Huh?" she stalled trying to conjure a lie.How the fuck does he know?

He stepped closer to her and Max felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. "I said, what do you need to thank Ari for?" Leo had given the taped up card to C.J. the night of their engagement party, and he just texted him with the translation.

"I don't know. It was just a figure of speech." Max voice quivered and she knew he knew she was lying.

"Bullshit Max! Enough with the lies." Leo voice grew stronger as his hand twisted Max's face to his. Her eyes registered fear and he tightened his grip. "I had the card that translated Max, so speak."

Tears ran down Max's face as she spilled the truth out to Leo. "I called Ari and asked him to kill Peretti."

"YOU DID WHAT?!!" He blasted releasing her roughly. "You called your ex to handle my business for me. Do you know how that makes me look? Do you Max?" Her tears did not to assuage his rage. Leo wanted to wring her neck.

"I did it for you. For us. I just wanted you home safe, alive and out of jail." Leo barely heard the last words as he threw a look of disgust her away and left the house.
