Precious

Chapter 16





He called himself wrapping things up early. Giving him the chance to spend much needed time with his husband. Lately, he’d been short and on edge. That’s how business was making him feel these days. His caro had taken it all in stride though. Gentle nimble fingers had found their way onto his shoulders and eased the tension out him night after night.



He’d said his goodbyes to his men and hoped nothing else aspired that night. The negotiations were tense. Some didn’t like that he and his people were finally asserting the rights to specific things which were theirs. Was that the goal of life, to grow and surpass the old?



The old cliques had been the standards for decades prior. Each controlled a stake in the vices in their part of town. Now, it was time for them to own and operate their own. Vinny was the right one to lead. Sometimes, he’d wondered if he’d been born for just that purpose.



What good was any of this if he didn’t get a chance to do the simple things with the one he loved.



Vinny headed inside, the smile on his face grew as saw Nick’s jacket and keys hung on the rack beside the door. He walked through the darkened penthouse and stopped at the sound of multiple voices laughing and talking animatedly.



A woman’s voice reached his ears. Her clear smooth tone seemed to run in sync with the light rich laugh of Nicky. He entered the room and silently took in the sight of Adrian, coifed and polished as ever in a classic A-line dress, sitting with Nicky, equally dolled up in a dark suit, with an older slightly familiar looking woman.



The trio continued to laugh heartily. Nick’s eyes shut as he threw his head back, finally they opened and he caught sight of his husband. “Hi Vinny.”



“Welcome home, Vinny.” Adrian called.



Vinny smiled lightly, wanting to kiss his husband but stopped when he saw his husband’s hands wrapped around the older woman’s long frail ones. “Well, I didn’t know we were having company. I would have come home earlier if you did.” He said pleasantly, though still curious about the woman.



Adrain tapped his cigarette, and held it loosely between two fingers. “Vinny, you missed some fabulous stories…God, my eyes have been tearing up all night from all the laughter.”



Nick stood and walked over to his husband. He smelled sweetly, so openly, that Vinny swore he looked even younger. Nick drew Vinny closer to the woman. “I know all this is a surprise, but Adrian orchestrated these turn in events, for which I’m forever grateful--” Nick added.



Adrian simply winked.



“Vinny, I want you to meet someone very special to me.” They stopped directly in front of the silver curled woman. “This is my Grandmother Ruby and Grandmother, this is my husband, Vincent Constantine.”



The shock on the woman’s face was immediate. Her bright brown eyes stretched in surprise and her mouth gapped in silence. “You’re married?” She gasped, reaching for her grandson’s hands.



“Yes, I am.”



“For how long?” Ruby still regarded Vinny and Nick with a still shock expression.



Nick smiled, while rubbing his ring unconsciously. “Almost a year now.”



What followed next no one expected. Ruby grabbed on to her grandson and began to cry against his shoulder. Nick looked between the two wondering how he could have softened the news. Adrian shrugged while Vinny gazed on quietly.



“Grandma, why are you crying?” He probed.



The older woman raised her head and bloated her puffy eyes. “I can’t help it. Your foolish parents made me miss your wedding. I’ve been worrying about you when you’ve been safe and sound, and I missed the most important day of your life!” Ruby stated in an obvious tone.



Regarding Vinny now, she looked up at the man, older than her grandson. His features were handsome and his body was the opposite of her slender grandson’s, tall, full as she could tell by how he filled out that suit. “And you must be a wonderful man, because I know my grandson wouldn’t choose a man that wasn’t to be his husband.”



Vinny issued a small smile. “I try to be a good husband. I never want Nicky to be alone or sad, or hurt again. So, yeah, I’m trying to be a good husband.” He held her gaze as she seemed to be judiciously deciding whether he was genuine or not.



“He’s a great husband.” Nick chimed in.



Ruby turned back to her grandson and caressed his cheek the way she used to do so many years ago. “I see you’re loved and that’s all I ever asked for, my precious darling.”

As the night wore on, the quartet continued to laugh reminisce on Nicky’s active childhood. Vinny saw as the Ruby recalled many of Nicky’s adventures, and misadventures that his personality was very much affected by the older woman. He even resembled her to a certain degree. She had aged elegantly, but he could tell by the sharpness of her smirk and the flash of her eyes.



They’d gotten on to the subject of Adrian’s creations when Ruby asked to see them. “They sound lovely. I’d love to see some whenever you have a chance.” Adrian smiled at the older woman, and was about to extend an offer to see some of her work the next day, but changed because of the escalating vibes between Nick and Vinny. Or mainly just Nick.



“Well, if you’re not doing anything now, I could take you to my place and show you some of my favorites.” Adrian suggested.



Ruby smiled broadly. “I don’t know. I guess I’m at your mercy until I get into the swing of things.”

Nick’s eyes lit up. “I think that would be a good idea. Then, once you’re back we can all go out.”



Vinny nodded in confirmation. “Yeah, I’ll take you to the place where I proposed.”



Adrian and Ruby left shortly thereafter. Nick had escorted them out, while Vinny went to prepared to relax just a little. He’d loosened his tie and relaxed into the soft recesses of their leather sofa. With his eyes closed, he heard Nick before he saw him.



“This was a surprise huh?” He had an arm curled over his eyes to block out the light. Tired was the best description of how he felt at the moment. The day had been long. The week seemed even longer and had yet to end.



Nick chuckled lowly. “Yeah, Adrian was sick of me droning on and on and decided to do something about it….I don’t think I could ever repay her.”



“Adrian truly is something else.” Vinny hoped he had time for a quick nap. Just one good hour. He was sure Adrian had at least that much stuff to keep the older woman ‘oooing’ and ‘ahing’ for some time.



He had drifted nicely when a familiar weight settled across his lap. One eye cracked open to find Nick seated comfortable, and gazing at him with clear smiling eyes. “You need something?”



Nick darted in quickly to kiss and drew back. “Yeah, I do.” Another kiss passed between them. “ Thanks for saying she could stay with us.”



Vinny gazed at Nicky through heavy lids. His fingers curling in the edges of Nick’s freshly darkened hair. “That’s what you do for family, Caro.”



Shifting forward, Nick brought their chests into contact. His fingers trailed lazily over Vinny’s lips, and down the textured terrains of his light beard. “I’m glad we’re a family.” He kissed Vinny earnestly. His tongue seeking entrance as their lips melded together.



Some time had passed since the last time they had truly slept together, and Nick had truly begun to miss the feel of those large warm hands moving over his skin.



Nick had his hand in Vinny’s open collar, rubbing the warm skin there. Inhaling, he took in the scent of that would forever remind him of leather and raw energy. Vinny stroked his side as Nick caressed and kissed his neck.



He ground his hips against his husband. Each moan made him bolder. A hand slipped between them and he went to work on Vinny’s belt. “Ah, caro…You’re killing me.”



Nicky kissed him again. A short sweet kiss, and went back to undoing his belt. His husband’s erection tented his boxer. It sprang free as the boxers slide over it. Though mostly dressed, Vinny’s hard cock was proudly standing .



Vinny eyed Nicky questioningly. The younger man hurriedly removed his pants and underwear, exposing his bottom half to his husband’s scrutiny. He spit into his hand and uses the newly acquired lube to slick up Vinny’s pulsing shaft.



There was work to be done. “Precious, I know you’re going to kill me now.” Nick only smiled and steadied his grip on the base of Vinny’s shaft. He felt pretty aligned. The tip brushed against his hole, and passed through slowly as he slid down. His breath came in short gasps. Inside, Nick felt so full; his husband’s throbbing connection joined them in the most intimate way possible. A few moments passed, allowing Nick to adjust to the intrusion, then he began to grind down onto his husband in earnest.



Those large hot hands were back up Nick’s hips, holding him steady as the two worked together. Mutual forces collided and Nick threw his head back, completely lost in the pleasure brought on by the precision of Vinny’s cock in finding his prostate. There’s no concern whatsoever that Vinny wasn’t wearing a condom.



The sensations won out, and all of Nick’s bucking and bouncing had worked them into a sweaty, near breathless state. Inside, that tell-tale twitch was becoming more frequent, and Nick bounced harder on Vinny’s lap determined to come either before or with his husband. He was hard, aching to the point of near delirium, yet Vinny was working him steadily with a closed fist.



Nick came with a shout. His body quivered as came on Vinny’s exposed belly. Seconds later, Vinny was experiencing the same eruption of tension and squeezed Nick’s hips with almost bruising strength as hot squirts of his come filled the tight humid channel.



They fell into each other hot, sweaty, and exhausted. It was only fair that after so much good fortune that Nick reconnect with the man he loved most.

It wasn’t until a few weeks later that everyone truly had a reason to celebrate. Nick and Vinny’s impromptu love making had been productive. Though, there had been some trepidation about the situation before, Dr. Giacomo was happy inform them that treatments had been a true success.
