Chapter 15

On the way to the school, everyone is quiet in the black SUV. Jayden is angry at his mommy for spending a night with a man she did not see for eight years. He knows it is his uncle, but he feels like he can take the hammer and hit his hands as he did with Carl. Jayda, who usually is a chatterbox, can feel the tension in the car and feels sorry for her mommy. She knows her mommy will not do anything wrong, but she knows her brother and father are angry with her poor mommy. Jennie stares out the window. She did nothing wrong, and if Dante wants to treat her like she will sleep with any man, that is his problem. She enjoyed talking to Enzo, and Enzo is why to young for her anyway. So she is not allowed to have fun anymore? It is not like Dante is in love with her or anything.

Dante is still boiling, thinking about Jennie sleeping inches away from Enzo. Yes, they were fully clothed and sleeping on two different couches, but still, he does not like her being so close to another man, even if that man is his brother. Dante is jealous, and he does not like the feeling. He looks at Jennie, who is looking out the window. Jayden breaks the silence as he can not stand it anymore.

“Mommy, I am very disappointed in you. A lady like you does not sleep in one room with a guy she has not seen in eight years,” Jayden says. Jennie looks around and is surprised at her son.

“Jayden, you know I am not that kind of woman, and besides, I have known your uncle since we were children. We were talking until late, and we fell asleep on two different couches,” Jennie says. She feels hurt by her son’s words.

“I know, mommy. I don’t like to see daddy so upset. We were looking all over for you, and you frightened us,” Jayden says.

“Daddy was worried, and so were we,” Jayda says.

“I am sorry I scared you, babies. Mommy will never do that again,” Jennie says. Jayden and Jayda give their mom a hug and a k**s when they get out of the SUV in front of their school. Then, they run over to Dante and hug and k**s him.

“Do not be too hard on mommy, daddy. I know she loved you for years, and you are the only man for her,” Jayda whispers in her father’s ear, trying to put in a good word for her mom.

“I will not be too hard on her, princess. Don’t worry,” Dante says. The children walk into the schoolyard, and the gate is closed behind them. Dante gets back in the SUV and takes Jennie’s phone out of her hand. He calls her secretary and tells her Jennie will not be in today. Jennie wants to protest, but she decides it is best to do as he wants today, looking at Dante’s face.

Dante is not in a good mood, and if Jennie says anything, he will lose his temper, which is why Dante does not even look her way. Instead, he stares in front of him as he drives to her house. He wanted to keep them away from home last night so his team could move his tuff in next door, and his team also installed security in Jennie’s house. He does not want to take chances with a guy like Carl on the lose. Not that he thinks Carl will take any more chances with Jennie, but one will never know. He stops in front of her house, not even looking at his house next door.

“Oh, I see I have new neighbours,” Jennie says to break the ice.

“Yeah, you probably hope it is a young attractive young man you can seduce,” Dante says. Jennie glares at Dante.

“Go to hell, Dante! I am a grown woman, and I can do as I like. Nothing happened between Enzo and me last night! Stop being an a*****e!” Jennie says. She jumps out of the SUV and storms to her house. Dante is close on her heels, and before she can unlock and slam the door close in his face. Dante is already inside her home when she opens the door. He pulls her closer to him.

“Well, since everyone else is getting a taste of you, I might as well,” Dante says, and he starts kissing Jennie hard. Jennie is angry and tries to push Dante away from her. She likes his k****s, but not this way. He is angry, and he seems jealous.

“Is Dante jealous? Don’t be ridiculous, Jennie Petrov,” Jennie talks to herself as she tries to get away from Dante. Dante holds her in his arms but stops kissing her. He can feel her soft body pressed against his. He removes his shirt while still holding her in his arms. Jennie can not resist his perfect body and feels her knees goes weak. Her hands are pressing against his hard chest. She is not objecting and trying so hard to get out of his arms anymore.

“Hmm, do you like what you see, sweetheart?” Dante asks. Jennie swallows hard as she can hardly breathe, leave alone talk. Dante laughs softly as he knows she is not immune to him. Al his anger and jealousy disappears. He holds her softly and starts kissing Jennie, but this time the k**s is passionate like that of a lover. Jennie tries to push Dante away one last time, but she takes her arms and puts them around his waist. Finally, Jennie gives into him and starts to answer his passionate k**s with the same passion he is kissing her. Dante’s hands move to her breasts. They are just the right size to fit perfectly into his hand. He unties her blouse as he wants to get a better look at her breasts. Jennie does not care anymore. Dante can do to her whatever he wants. Dante takes a deep breath as he sees her breast after removing her top and bra. They are full and beautiful as she is. He bends down and starts to suck on one of her breasts, and Jennie m***s in pleasure.

“What are you doing, Jennie Petrov? You are letting this man use you again, but it feels so good and so right,” Jennie talks to herself in her head. Dante pushed Jennie onto the couch. He wants her so much. She is his everything. Surely after today, she can never have another man again. She will only be able to think of him. Dante is planting k****s all over Jennie’s body, and his hand is moving under her shirt. He can feel what his touch is doing to her. It turns him on even more. Dante is about to take his pants off when the doorbell rings. Dante ignores it and keeps kissing Jennie. Jennie pushes Dante of her as she is afraid the person at the door will walk in. Unfortunately, they did not lock the door.

“We did not lock the door. So someone can walk in,” Jennie whispers to Dante. Dante swears as he gets up frustrated. He walks to the door and swings it open.

“What?” Dante asks rudely, without even seeing who is standing at the door.

“YOU! What are you doing here? I am looking for Jennie,” Alexa says as she looks at Dante without a shirt on and Jennie behind him trying to straighten out her clothes. She must have interrupted them while they were fooling around. Alexa looks at Dante and his perfect body. How could she have been so stupid all those years ago and traded him for Jackson?

“What are you doing here?” Dante asks, still not friendly. He was so close to making Jennie his forever.

“Well, Jennie is my cousin, and I heard from my mother she is living here in Houston now, so I came to see her. So I went to her office, but they said she called in sick,” Alexa says, still staring at Dante’s half-naked body. Dante grabs his shirt and puts it on. He does not want Alexa drooling all over him. He looks at the woman he once thought he loved, and he is disgusted. She is not even half the woman Jennie is.

“Hello, Alexa,” Jennie says. She does not know why Alexa wants to come and see her. Alexa hardly ever talked to her, and now she is standing here in front of her and Dante.

“I see you are doing good for yourself?” Alexa says, looking around the house. A thin-looking boy stands behind her. He has blond hair and brown eyes. The little boy looks like Jackson. He is about the same age as the twins.

“Yeah, I am doing well at my job,” Jennie says. Alexa walks to the wall full of pictures of the twins. She can see the boy and girl are Dante’s children.

“So, how long has the two of you been together? I can see you have two children together. Is that why you wanted not to marry me, Dante? Did you have an affair with my cousin? You wanted to get rid of me and cancelled the wedding because you wanted her, and you let your guys follow me to catch me in the act while you did the same thing?” Alexa asks. Alexa lost all contact with her family except her mother. Her mother left the wedding that day and never talked to Boris and Loraine again. Alexa has no idea Jennie was gone for eight years. She is jealous of her cousin, who is both successful and has a man like Dante in her life. She looks at Jennie’s fingers, but there is no ring on her fingers. So they have kids together but is not married. Good, so she still stands a chance with Dante.

“What happened, is and will be between, Jennie and me, has got nothing to do with you. I see you have a son. Where is his father, Jackson?” Dante asks Alexa.

“He kicked us out, and we got nowhere to go. He has a new girlfriend and has no place for us anymore,” Alexa answers. She and Jackson moved to the states a few years ago, and Jackson was never good for them. He never provided, and Alexa always had to work as a waitress and bail him out everything he got caught by the police with one or another scheme he was involved with to make quick money. Now Jackson got a wealthy older woman who could provide better for him. So he kicked her and her son out of the apartment they were sharing.

“You can not stay here,” Dante says.

“We have nowhere to go. Jennie, please, have a heart and give us a place to stay until I am back on my feet again,” Alexa pleads with Jennie. She is hoping Dante is also staying here and she can win his heart again.

“Sure, you can stay until you are back on your feet,” Jennie says, looking at the poor boy who has not said a word yet. Of course, Dante is unhappy about this arrangement, but it is Jennie’s house, and she has the last say.

“Thank you. I promise. We will be out of here as soon as I get a decent job and can provide for Jack and myself,” Alexa says, but she has other plans in her head, and as long as Jennie does not realise it, she and her son will be well off once she can convince Dante to become his daddy.

“Where are your stuff?” Jennie asks.

“Outside. We took the bus here and only brought some clothes,” Alexa says.

“Well, bring them in. I will show you your rooms,” Jennie says. As Alexa walks out, Dante looks at Jennie.

“You are making a mistake that woman is nothing but trouble,” Dante says. However, he still feels frustrated that he was again unable to tell Jennie how he feels about her and show her.

“She is my cousin, and I can not let her and the poor little one stay on the streets,” Jennie says.

“Well, I will be next door if you need me. I bought the house and will see you later,” Dante says as he walks out to go next door to his new house. Jennie looks as he drives the SUV next door, and Alexa smiles as she realises how close Dante is to them. It will be easy as pie to get him in her bed. Dante walks into his new house and is even more frustrated when he sees his brother sitting in a chair in his sitting room.

“What are you doing here?” Dante asks as he is still angry with his brother.

“Hey, nothing happened between Jennie and me. Well, not yet. She is beautiful,” Enzo teases his brother.

“I told you to stay away from her,” Dante says.

“Are you jealous, brother?” Enzo asks. Dante glares at him and walks to his study. He has work to do and has no time to talk to Enzo. So instead, he calls his security and tells him to check what Alexa and Jackson have been up to lately. Dante is not stupid. He knows Alexa is here for a reason.
