Free One Step Closer (Erotic Romance) Book 1 (The DeLuca Brothers) by Lucinda DuBois Page B

sleep, listening as
Frank's breaths deepened and he drifted off. Her mind was blissfully blank, her
body sated, and she began to drift off. Even as she did, images floated through
her mind. Wishes, fantasies, dreams, or events to come, she didn't know, but
she let them carrying her into the darkness.
     
    The five DeLuca
brothers stood together at the far end of the yard, their matching tuxedos
emphasizing their resemblance. The music began and she took her first steps
down the make-shift aisle. Maria stood with Tommy, both beaming as they watched
her come forward.
     
    Frank stood
behind her, his arms around her waist, his hands resting on the swell of her
belly. Tommy ran through the park, chasing the small black and white mutt he'd
chosen from the shelter.
     
    She and Frank
pushed the stroller down the path, secure in the knowledge that their son was
in capable hands. Behind them, Gio helped Tommy launch his kite into the air.
Gio's wife watched from the park bench, their daughter cradled in her arms.
     
    The DeLuca house
was filled to bursting. The boys and their wives were crammed into the living
room, the space made even more limited by the large tree in the corner and the
piles of presents beneath it. No one minded though, least of all the dozen kids
tearing through the upstairs. Occasionally one would venture down to ask if it
was time to open presents, only to be sent back upstairs with the rest. From
her seat next to the tree, Maria watched her family, her face shining with love
and pride. Across the room, Sofia caught her mother-in-law's eyes. They smiled
at each other, neither one needing words to know what the other was feeling.
This was everything they'd always wanted.
