35. A Weight of What is to Come
ROYCE.
We head out, and me and Leo are in the front since it’s a tad tight in the back, although I think I could
have cramped in if it meant being near my woman.
The venue is about a ten-minute drive from the Rossi Mansion, still on the premises of the Night
Walkers packnds.
It gives me the time to think over what is toe. Tonight, I will tell Mom, Dad’s truth… Will I break
her?
Will she walk on in life with the same haunting look that Maria Rossi holds?”
That is a look that I will never forget, no matter how well she tries to hide it…
Am I doing the right thing? Or should I have given her more time to prepare? I no longer know…
Sk’s hand slips around the side of the seat, and I take it, trying to rein in my emotions so she doesn’t
feel them.
She doesn’t need the extra burden, she has enough going on.
“What’s on your mind?” Leo asks quietly, his eyes on the road.
I nce across at him. He’s in full ck and the silence of the car is loud.
“Mom… I don’t know how she’ll take it… she is strong, mentally. I just hope the fact that Vic- Winona is
alive will be enough for her to be able to handle it,” I answer quietly.
Sk leans forward, wrapping her other arm around the seat from behind.
Comfort that I really can do with. I close my eyes, resting my head back against the leather headrest.
“I haven’t met your mother, but from what you’re saying, I do believe that she can make it through this,”
Leo says. “And I’m sure you will break it to her gently.”
“Agreed. Just don’t pull an Alejandro, and throw it at her like a bag of damn bricks,’ Azura adds and I
smile slightly.
I lift Sk’s hand to my lip, kissing it softly.
I truly hope so…
We reach the venue, and the outside is teeming.
I don’t think I’ve been to an event with so many people… Leo drives through and we go around the
back until we reach the enormous iron doors that are shut tight.
Leo scans his hand on the scanner and keys in a pin before the doors to the underground parking slide
open.
After all, I’m to lie low until the time is right. Whilst Alejandro’s talk will be ongoing, Marcel will bring
Winona to meet Mom… after I’ve broken the news to her about her being alive.
“Alright let’s go,” Leo says as he grabs his gun, packet of cigarettes, and phone as if it’s the most
normal thing ever and gets out.
“Give us a minute.” Sk says before I can even open the door.
She climbs into the seat that Leo just got up from. He bends down at the open door, frowning at us.
“Do not do anything in my car,” he warns, making Sk smirk.
“You can’t really stop us-‘
“Come on, Handsome,” Azura says, tugging Leo away.
He’s about to argue, but settles for a re at Sk instead, before nrming the car door shut and
wrapping his arms around his woman.
I look at Sk, about to speak, when she reaches over, cing a finger to my lips before she climbs
lithley into myp.
Fuck, I’m going to have a hard-on now. Pleasure rushes through me as her pussy presses against the
bulge in my pants and she bites her lip.
But despite that, when I look into her eyes, they are soft as she looks down at me with concern.
“You’re doing the right thing,” she whispers, wrapping her arms around my neck and kissing my cheek
softly.
I lock my arms around her tightly, rubbing her back slowly.
“Thanks, Love,” I say, kissing her shoulder before I lean back and look into that gorgeous face once
more.
Simply admiring her.
Goddess… she’s beautiful…
I raise my hand to her face, tenderly running my finger down her nose, before brushing her hair aside
as I look into those eyes of hers.
“I’m lucky to have you call me yours,” I whisper softly. I don’t know why, but I’m feeling fucking
emotional right now. I’m fucking grateful she’s here with me.
“And I love how you always say you belong her hair aside as I look into those eyes of hers.
“I’m lucky to have you call me yours,” I whisper softly.
I don’t know why, but I’m feeling fucking emotional right now. I’m fucking grateful she’s here with me.
“And I love how you always say you belong to me,” she whispers, kissing my lips deeply.
Despite the proximity and the sexual tension that’s ever-present, there’s something deeper… far more
intense between us in this moment.

“Always,” I reply huskily.
I brush her hair back and kiss her lips slowly.
The sweet taste of her mouth and her soft lips are magical and for a moment I close my eyes, lost in
her. Her heart is racing, her lips quivering as she kisses me back equally slow and deep before we part.
“Royce…”
Our eyes meet and I cup her face with one hand.
“Tonight, I want to introduce you to Mom too… she’s going to love you,” I promise. I know she will,
because Sk is a strong woman, just like her.
“I can’t wait,” she replies.
My phone rings and I know it’s probably Leo telling us to get out.
She sighs and hugs me tightly. “We got this. By the time the night is over, we’ll be relieved that it was
far easier than we’re thinking it will be right now.”
I nod slowly. I sure hope so. I open the car door and she slowly gets off myp and I get out after her,
pulling her in for a tight hug once more before I have to go my separate way.
Leo and Azura are standing by the door that leads inside, waiting for her. Kissing Sk a final goodbye,
I make my way to the back of the parking lot. I’ll be taking a separate entrance and lying low for a bit.
‘I love you.’ Sk’s words stop me in my tracks, and I nce over my shoulder at her.
‘Love you far more.’ I reply.
A gorgeous smile crosses her face, illuminating her eyes. But then faster than I would have liked, Azura
tugs her inside and the door ms shut behind them, leaving me alone in the darkness of the
underground car park.
‘Stay safe,’ her voicees.
‘I will.’
Well, here goes nothing…
