From the Baroness’s Diary III

Chapter 31

Chapter Thirty-One

I am stunned as Angelo walks inside the church with us and stays seated during the whole service. Salvatore and Enzo were so sure he would balk, or at least, bolt.

A thousand to one odds.

I haven’t slept a wink last night thinking about what they told me. I’d love to have Angelo in the relationship with us but it’s more important to help him overcome his past. That’s all that matters.

I can’t believe he thinks himself so damaged he is not worthy of love. It angers me that a disgusting, lecherous man has done that to such an angel, to my angelo.

In only two weeks, they’ve already broken down so many of my barriers. Not that I have many, non. But even I was shocked with Salvatore’s proposal of our…oh, what to call it, foursome. Since he thinks Angelo needs to be part of our relationship, believing it will help him. And more, he wants that relationship to be permanent.

My heart is conflicted. While it’s bursting with happiness, it’s pounding with confusion.

Closing the door to my bedroom, I lay back down on the sofa, sighing heavily as I stare at the ceiling.

I’ve been without love for far too long, that’s what is going on with me. And now I am under the same roof with a young, sexy-as-sin man. Non. Make that three virile, sexy-as-sin men.

That can be an explosive combination. At least with Salvatore and Enzo I don’t feel so conflicted. They are mature and confident, aggressive even, about what they want. They demand and take, and oh, it is so good to submit. I love being subject to their whims and desires.

But Angelo is a different story altogether.

I know now that he will never be one to bend me over a table, rip off my panties, and spank me. Non, not this sweet young man. Maybe someday he will grow into such a man, but as he is now, he needs to learn that he may have been abused, but he is not—how do you say?—damaged goods.

I can help him see that he is desirable and worthy of a good woman. I know he desires me, despite the angry uninterested show he puts on. And now that I know the reason behind it, I don’t take it personally.

And maybe I can help him become a confident man like his brothers. Well, not like them exactly. Angelo will always be different, I believe. But he can be experienced as they are, and gain confidence in himself. Enjoy the joys and pleasures of s*x.

After learning so much from Salvatore when I was young and inexperienced, it is only fitting that I am able to return the favor to someone he loves.

I shake my head at myself for wanting to be a fly to listen to what the men are planning a few feet away from me.

I go to the bathroom to refresh myself and get ready for lunch.

And what may happen afterward.
