To Love A Monster twenty-one
NicholasI need you.It's all it takes, and I find myself nodding and laying her down before I stand. My gaze hovers at her mouth, her little pink tongue darting out to lick those lips that taste so sweet. I undo two more buttons before pulling my shirt off over my head and taking in her full breasts with their hard nipples, the tiny gem sparkling at her belly button. Those white lace panties.I strip off my pants but keep my briefs on and lower myself onto the bed, setting one knee between her legs and sliding my arms around her, cupping the back of her head to kiss her as her arms close over my shoulders. It's when I taste the salt of tears that I draw back."V What is it?"She shakes her head.With a groan, I pull back, but when I move to stand, she closes her hand around mine. "Please don't go.""You're drunk, V. This isn't smart.""I need you. Please."Fuck. There it is again.I kiss her mouth, her neck, the hollow between her collarbones, one hand weighing her breast, fingertips

NicholasPastValentina nods off as Hamish maneuvers streets that grow increasingly quiet as snow blankets Boston. Hamish isn't only my driver. Nigella Gibson, my attorney, introduced me to him when I needed help with a situation that required special handling. He's been with me ever since. He doesn't ask questions, and he is trustworthy, two qualities I appreciate greatly.I have been back in town for a few days closing a deal. Running into Valentina Russo had been a possibility but not a probability. It hasn't happened the half-dozen times I've been here the last two years. I know where she attends school and the building in which she lives, but I haven't seen her apart from when I switch on the TV and find either Horatio Russo's or Sly Ricci's faces splashed across the screen detailing the latest in the embezzlement case. That's not to say I haven't looked for her.I am also well aware of the fact that she's still dating Cielo Ricci. That's been on the news too. The legal trouble R

ValentinaWhen I finally get to the ladies' room, I am grateful no one is inside so I can just take a minute to grip the counter and close my eyes as the room spins.It's all of what is going on. My father's trial, this new evidence that I know is going to change things, and on top of it, Cielo asking me to marry him tonight of all nights. That look on his face, like he got when he was a little kid, like he was celebrating. And I guess he was celebrating our would-be engagement even though I didn't say yes. He just didn't expect—and wouldn't accept—no.I should have pushed the ring away. Told him it wasn't right, that it wasn't fair to him.I force a deep breath in, open my eyes, and run the tap to splash water on my face.Before I get to, though, the door opens. I'm trying to fix my face when a male voice startles me, and I turn to find the man who was buying me drinks standing there."Hey, you okay? I feel awful," he starts, coming inside."I'm fine. This is the ladies' room. You sh

ValentinaThe noise stops for a moment, people seeming to freeze mid-sentence as he and I take each other in. His back is to the wall, a group of maybe a dozen men and women, all well dressed, sitting around him. Several bottles of champagne are turned down in their buckets and a waiter is serving what I guess to be espresso martinis to all but Nicholas, in front of whom the waitress sets what I guess to be a tumbler of whiskey.I haven't seen Nicholas Hendrick in over a year. He and his mother moved out of the Ricci cottage soon after he graduated college. They went to Atlanta, as far as I knew. I've only seen Nicholas in the news a few times since. I remember Mr. Ricci's surprised and irritated reaction when an investment firm had hired Nicholas. When he'd received his first promotion just two years later, Mr. Ricci had been outright angry.Actually, the whole of the Ricci family was not pleased, to say the least. The company Nicholas had found work with was run by a man Sly conside

ValentinaPastI never thought, not once, that the day Cielo proposed to me would leave me with a feeling of anything other than elation. Excitement. Exhilaration even.I never thought I'd say anything other than yes.When I met Cielo Ricci almost a decade ago, I always knew there would be something between us. Our meeting and the circumstances of it were somehow always leading up to this day, to the event that would follow.I stand in the lobby of my building and look down at the ring in the center of my palm, at the gleaming princess cut diamond on its platinum band weighing down my hand. It makes my stomach fill not with butterflies of excitement and anticipation of what is to come, but something else. Something anxious and a little like dread.But maybe that's because the day coincides with news leaked to the press of new evidence that incriminates my father in a scheme even more serious than what he is currently facing charges on. I wish Cielo had waited to propose, but he couldn

ValentinaA few days after my dinner with the Riccis, I decide I'm going to see my father whether he wants me there or not. I can't put off telling him about the engagement any longer. Invitations will begin going out within the week, and beyond that, I need him to explain his letter telling me to stay away.I walk into the prison, hearing the sounds of guards calling out, of heavy metal doors clanging open or closed. The smell of the place is stale, like body odor and old food, and the thought that my father will spend the next ten years in here is too much.I wait at the small table the guard had pointed to, jittery, anxiously bouncing my leg. At least he's in a federal prison so the offenders aren't violent. Or at least not as violent as they could be? I don't know. It looks pretty bad from my perspective.A door opens, and a guard walks into the visiting room. Following him is my father.He stops short because he was expecting his lawyer, not me.I stand up."Tina?" My father take
