STELLA

We've been back home from the lake house for almost two weeks and we've settled in a new routine. JP stays over a lot but has yet to move his things back. I try not to let it bother me; I know he doesn't want me to feel rushed, but I want him home with us, with me. 

I smile as I look over at him sleeping next to me. I trace my fingers over his handsome face. I chuckle as his nose and lips twitch from me tickling them. I lean over him and kiss him lightly as I move myself on top of him. 

I grind myself against him, feeling his morning erection through his boxer briefs; and it makes the throbbing in between my legs achingly pleasurable. 

JP's eyes open slowly as he smiles. 

"Good morning, baby," I smile down at him.

"Morning, amore." 

"I didn't hear you come home, last night." I stress the word home as I continue moving my hips over him slowly. 

"I didn't want to wake you," He tells me as he lifts the hoodie over my head and his hands move down to cup my breasts and he massages them as he groans lightly. 

"You should have, because now you have to make up for it," I tease as I kiss neck and chest.

"And that's bad?"

"No," I shake my head. "But now we can't take our time because one of the little ones are sure to burst in here any moment now, like they do in the mornings. But something tells me it will be Lola today." 

He grins at me knowing it's her birthday; she's been extremely excited for this day to come. JP sits up and moves us so he's over me now, the sheets tangling with our movements. "Well then, we better not waste any more time." He pulls his boxer briefs down and his fingers slide under the elastic band of my panties and pulls them down fast.

His jaw muscles tense as he slides into me, then pulls out slowly and slams into me. I gasp at short but hard thrusts he's doing and my legs wrap around his strong waist. I push him back enough to flip us only I don't realize how close we were to one side of the bed and we end up tumbling off of the bed. 

We hit the floor hard, but end up laughing our asses off.

"What are you guys doing on the floor?" 

I gasp and JP's head snaps up at the sound of Lola's voice. JP quickly covers us before Lola walks around the bed and looks down at us with her hands on her hips. We don't get a chance to answer before we hear Lucy and Carmen now in our room. 

"Hi mom...JP," Lucy says and her eyes widen as she also takes in JP and I's compromising position on the floor. She covers Lola's and Carmen's eyes. "Let's go downstairs, guys," She smiles at us as her face continues to go red. "Lola was just super excited and making sure everyone was up and ready for her big day." 

She quickly maneuvers the girls back toward the door. "Why are you covering my eyes? It's not like I haven't seen JP and Stella wrestle before," Carmen states.

"Yeah, they do it all the time," Lola adds. 

Lucy laughs shakily, "Yeah, you're right. They're just training...in their room. But let's wait for them with everyone else downstairs okay?"

We hear the door shut and JP looks down at me and he chuckles, "Guess you were right. Come on, let's get ready." He leans away and pulls me up; while laughing at the frown on my face. 

"Don't worry, we're finishing what we started," He lifts me up over his shoulder and swats my ass as I squeal happily and then I smack his tight ass, too. 

JP turns on the shower faucet and lets it run as he gathers up towels  for us, all the while still carrying me over his shoulder. He walks into the shower and finally sets me down under the shower head and I run my hands down over my hair as the warms water runs down my body. 

I reach out for the wall, so I don't lose my balance when JP lifts my left leg over his shoulder. He looks up at me from his kneeling position and smiles. "I wouldn't let you fall princess," He says before he buries his face into me and his lips and tongue move over me. 

My fingers tangle into his hair when a wave of pleasure runs through me. JP makes his way up slowly with his mouth, his teeth grazing all the right areas, until he reaches my breasts and he covers them with his mouth, pulling me closer to him. 

His twitching cock rubs against me and I ache to have him inside of me. "JP, please." 

He lets go of my breasts with his mouth and then thrusts his tongue inside my mouth. I reach up over his shoulders pulling him tight to me, not getting enough of him. He breaks the kiss and his hand wraps around my throat, his voice is husky, "Turn around, amore." 

I do as he says and I feel him run his tip teasingly presses against me but then he slams into me from behind. The sheer force he is using is merciless, but feels so good. His arm wraps around me as his hand finds my clit and he rubs it in slow tantalizing circles while still slamming into me and his other hand comes up around my throat again, holding me in place while he continues to thrust into me. 

"Do you like that, baby?" 

"Oh god, yes!" I tell him. 

"You're pussy feels so good clenching around my cock." I love when he talks dirty to me and soon lose myself to another orgasm ripping through my body. 

JP pulls out of me as I'm still coming down from the high as he turns me around and he lifts me in his arms and plunges into me again. Harder than before. And faster. And then he stops moving and pulls my head back with my hair in his fist as he kisses me passionately. 

I feel him throbbing inside of me and I moan against his mouth as I grip on to him, I pull him against me as much as I can, with the strength that's quickly depleting out of me, but I fight through it; wanting to feel all of him inside of me, wanting to be impossibly close to him as I tighten my legs around him. 

He pins me against the wall with his body and begins slamming into me again, over and over and over again as and I feel myself coming apart again and soon he follows. My body sags against his and he kisses me softly even though he's breathing heavily. 

"Does that make up for yesterday?" 

I shudder against him as his husky voice seeps into my ear. "It was a good attempt," I rasp. 

JP grunts as he rolls his hips into me and his semi-hard dick throbs inside of me. "Guess, I'll have to try harder." 

My heart rate picks up at the challenge in his voice and I hold on for dear life as he begins pounding into me again, his mouth moves down over my neck and he sucks hard at my throat before he bites and licks against the sensitive spots and then pulls my hair back to move to the other side.  

I moan shamelessly being at his mercy and loving every erotic second of his hard body, mouth and hands, everywhere on my body. 

"I love you, JP," I sigh as he carries me out of the bathroom after we finished and actually showered. 

"Hmm, is it me you love or what I do to you, amore?"  He asks me amused as he lays me down on the bed in my towel. I chuckle as I stretch my arms, and legs and arch my back, loving how deliciously sore I am. 

"Both," I smile at him. He leans over me and kisses me slowly, the way I love. 

"I love you more, princess. Always have, always will." His long damp hair tickles my face as it falls over his face. We finish getting dressed and head downstairs and the kids are eagerly waiting for us. 

Lola planned out her whole day; starting with going out to eat breakfast, followed by going to the arcade and the rest of the days is spent getting ready for her birthday party; where some of her friends from preschool are coming. 

JP wanted to go all out, but I pulled him back into a more realistic level of ridiculous rich people level. My mom and I arranged to have a bounce house, a pony ride station, face painting, a cotton candy and pop corn machine and of course the pool area is set up with all the inflatable toys you can think of. 

"Girl you look amazing! I love this jumpsuit, where'd you get? I need to get me one before I can't fit into one," Annalisa walks up to me and hugs me tightly. 

"Me? Look at you! You're always gorgeous though," I tell her as I look over her pale pink summer dress that shows off her small growing bump. 

"Can you believe I'm half way through?" Annalisa says as she lovingly caresses her bump. 

"I can't wait!" I give her another side hug. "I confirmed everything is ready for your party in a few days, too. Yours and Joey's family all RSVP'd too. And you know Vince and Mia will be watching remotely since Mia is due any day now."

"Yeah, they both called us," Annalisa says. "Although it's nice when they're around since my mom's attention is all on them and their kids, but now I'm going to have to fight to not lose it on her," Annalisa chuckles.

"Don't worry, Sam and I will be keep her busy," I assure her. 

"When does Sam get here by the way?"

"She'll be here the morning of, she was sad she couldn't get off work sooner," I tell her as I take a bite of some of the finger food on my plate. 

"I'm just glad she can make it," Annalisa says as she sits down next to me. 

"How's the new job going for Joey?" I ask her as I look over the back yard and find each of the kids, making sure they're all okay, having fun. 

Marco has a few of his friends here, but I notice Talia isn't here. 

"It's going good, I need to thank JP, for getting him in on one of the projects he has going on," Annalisa says and brings my attention back to her. I notice her eyebrows are scrunched in worry though.

"What is it?" 

"Nothing, really. It's just, I know Joey misses doing the work with the family and being around the guys," She tells me sighing.

"It's probably a huge adjustment, he's been doing it a long time," I comment. 

"The thing is, I want him to be happy. I don't want him to end up resenting me or the life we have if he's not happy," She tells me. 

"Joey would talk to you if he wanted to do something different or if he wanted to come back to the family." I assure her. 

"Yeah, I hope so." She smiles at me, "What about you? Are you going to take over or no?" 

"I haven't really decided. I know JP wants to find Jimmy and deal with the Albanians, but he also said he'd walk away from it all if I said I was done, completely." 

"What about opening a bakery or your own pastry shop? Do you still want to do that?" Annalisa questions.

"I've thought about it, but it's not on my mind like it used to be. And the hours for having a bakery would be really hard with raising the kids, even though JP said we have enough help with the kids. 

"But I wouldn't want the kids to be raised only by the staff and the thing is," I turn to face her. "I don't feel sad about not having my own bakery like I thought I would be even after all the time that's passed." 

"So what would you do? I mean, you have to have a life outside of the kids, too. And the twins and Marco will be graduating in a year; they'll be out on their own soon. Then Lucy will be next, then Carmen. So you'll just have Lola and Toby and of course if you and JP add any of your own. Wait, oh my gosh, please have a baby and our babies can be BFF's how fun or they could get married!"

I laugh. "Whoa, whoa, Anna!" 

"I mean no rush of course, but please have one!" She pleads with her hands. 

I sigh after I finish laughing. "I want to, but I think JP wants to take things slow. I think he's afraid of moving too fast. He hasn't moved his things back to the house. He stays over a lot, but he still lives at the Villa."

"Well, I'll just have to have a talk with him won't I?" She looks around."Where is he, anyway?" And then she sucks in a sharp breath. "Oh, hell no," She hisses under her breath. "Come on, we got to handle this." She grabs my hand and pulls me out of seat and starts angry marching towards Joey, JP, Enzo, Santino, and Topo.

I don't know why she's on a rampage until I move up next to her and see the moms of some of Lola's preschool friends talking to JP and the guys. 

"What's the big deal, Anna? They're just talking," I struggle to keep up with her pace in my shoes and grab her arm to stop her. 

"How much you wanna bet those are the single moms of the group, Stella?" Her eyes narrowing as she looks over at the group of women again. 

"Okay, well, let's take a breath," I say and tell her to breathe with me, I don't want her getting all worked up for nothing. "And JP and I are in a good place, I don't want to go down that rabbit hole of jealous craziness, like I did back with Victoria." 

Annalisa takes in a few deep breaths. "You're right, you're right." And she fans herself off as she looks back at the guys, then her eyes scrunch up and her mouth sets in a tight line. "What the hell?"

I look over and watch as a woman steps up to Joey and runs her hands down his face, brushing his curls back. He pulls his head away slightly, but it looks like she's asking about his eye and he leans further away from her but she keeps her hand on his arm. 

I'm caught watching but then see as Annalisa begins storming towards them again and hurry to catch up to her. "Anna!" I hiss. "Remember the kids!" I remind her hoping there isn't going to be a monumental catfight that will be the gossip among the moms that are here.
