He is looking ahead with his arm stretched out, shooting at whoever.
My heart raced.
It fluttered.
It danced.
It jumped for joy.
It....it is...
It is stupid! We are in the middle of a commotion for pit's sake!
Best commotion ever. His weight is just PERFECT.
Everything about him is perfect.
And he literally just saved my life.
Adding to my ecstasy, he looked down, locking eyes with mine. My heart fluttered like it has never done before.
Good God.
His gray eyes are more gorgeous this close. Very enchanting.
His scent is to die for.
God, I could stay this way all day!
His eyes fell on my lips.
I bit them slowly without knowing, making his face twitch slightly.
Or, am I wrong?
The moment was short-lived when he got off me.
I felt cold instantly.
No, no, don't.
God, Evelyn!
"Evie," Mario called, rushing towards me and helping me up. I noticed his dad walking towards the driver's seat.
I also noticed the absence of Luciano, his men and their cars too.
"Are you okay?" Mario asked worriedly, claiming my attention.
"Mm hmm," I hummed.
"Oh, thank goodness. Come on," he said, opening the backseat door for me.
I entered and he closed the door for me. I shifted nervously as Mario got into the passenger's seat.
I noticed no one was hurt as the Don drove us back.
*****************
MINUTES LATER....
BACK AT MORELLI MANSION...
"I know you are in shock right now, Evie," Mario said as he followed me into my room. We just got back from the road and the Don had to drive out again to a place I don't know.
He looked pissed and it worried me.
I feel like the cause.
He is right. I am a stubborn brat.
I should have stayed in the car.
Why can't I listen?!
I placed my bag on the bed and shrugged slightly.
"I have seen a lot of gunfire in the past few days" I said, taking a seat on the edge of the bed.
Mario heaved a sigh as he walked towards me and sat next to me.
"I am sorry you had to witness all that," he said.
I stared at my fingers.
He placed his hand on mine, making me look at him.
"I still got you," he said.
I gave him a tiny smile.
"You know that, right?"
I nodded. "Thank you,"
"No need for that, baby. I got you," he said, caressing my hand.
I smiled a bit, feeling awkward by the nickname.
"Um...I am sorry I didn't listen to you when you said I should stay in the car."
He nodded.
"I don't know what came over me."
"Nah, it's okay. You didn't do anything wrong. I guess you were scared," he said.
"Do you think it upset your dad?" I asked.
He heaved a sigh. "Actually, he dislikes people who don't listen,"
Shoot.
I am really the cause. I lowered my gaze.
You did great, Evelyn. I am proud of you.
"But those bastards are the main reason he is pissed," he said, making me look at him.
"Really?"
"Yeah," he said.
"Did he go after them," I asked.
"Not really. There was a little issue at one of his warehouses. He had to check it out."
I nodded.
"Why don't you eat your meal and relax," he said, making me look at the desk where my packed-up breakfast is.
Nah. I am good.
That rude maid might have poisoned it or something.
"We still have school tomorrow. This time, it is going to be safe. I assure you that," he said.
"Thank you so much, Mario. You are very kind to me."
He chuckled. "Stop thanking me," he said, leaning closer and placing a kiss on my temples.
"See you later," he said.
"Alright," I said as I watched him heading out.
God, I wish he could switch places with his dad.
He is the nicest person I have ever met.
Sighing, I laid on my back.
See you tomorrow, Imogen.
Today is not a good time.
************
NIGHT HOURS.....
I sat up on the bed, getting crankier as my belly rumbled.
I can't sleep, and it is almost one AM.
Ask me how I coped indoors all day. I will tell you I had fun.
Lots of fun.
Actually I didn't.
I was bored out of my mind.
I would sleep, wake up, wallow in my thoughts about the Don, the wet dream I had, his erotic time with his wife and then, the incident on the road.
Mario came to see me once and had to go out for a job.
I wonder if he is back.
I went to the kitchen twice to grab some snacks. Luckily, I didn't run into that rude maid or the lady of the house those two times.
Just the nice maid I remember as Liliana.
And then there is Paloma.
They are really beautiful maids.
And nice too.
I couldn't attend dinner because I was sleeping. I woke up two hours ago in a totally quiet house.
Now, I can't find sleep anymore.
I am bored out of my mind.
It is getting worse whenever I think about the Don.
It is pleasing when I think about my wet dream and the way he saved me and had his weight on me.
So pleasing!
So hot!
But it is annoying when I think about how he calls me little girl all the time and the fact that he is pissed because of my stubbornness.
Ugh.
I let out a tired sigh.
Perhaps a drink would do.
Yes. Perfect.
I took off the covers on me and headed out of bed. I covered my short nightie with my robe as I headed towards the door.
I walked out of the room and walked along the hallway. I took the right as always, heading for the stairs.
The house is really quiet. You could hear a pin drop.
Almost getting towards the stairs, I stopped on my track at the sight of someone on the floor.
My heart picked up.
I took slow and scary steps towards the person.
His clothes are familiar.
It hit me.
Oh my God.
It is the Don.
My heart tightened as my legs took me closer to him. I knelt down close to him, scanning his state as my hands grew confused about where to touch.
He looks a bit battered but has blood on his chest, his temples, his left belly side and on the floor.
God, what happened?
I moved my two fingers to his neck to check his impulse, just as my mother taught me.
I felt relieved the minute I noticed he was still alive.
He moved slightly, opening his eyes slowly.
"Sir, what happened to you?" I asked, staring at his legs and then back at his face.
He is looking at me with his slightly opened eyes.
"Hang in there, okay? I will go get Mario right away," I said, about getting up, but he held my hand tightly, making cold shivers run down my spine.
He might look battered, but his strength is no joke.
I knelt back down, looking at him.
"I need to get help. You are losing a lot of blood," I said, worry taking over me completely.
He gulped, moving his lips like he wanted to say something but can't. The pain he is feeling might be preventing him from doing so.
He moved his left hand towards me, making me lean closer to hear what he wanted to say.
But....
The next thing that happened took me off guard.
He pushed himself up a bit, grabbed the nape of my neck and crashed his lips on mine.
The world LITERALLY STOPPED!
Shut. The. Front. Door.
The Don is kissing me!
Electrifying shivers run down my spine non-stop.
He moved his lips on mine at a fast but hot pace, making it hard for me to keep up.
This is really happening!
The girl in-between my legs feels hot right now!
He moved his hand on my cheek, making me feel something sticky on my face as he went on kissing me.
He released me, pulling away from my lips as he reacted to the pain the minute he laid back down.
I let out a breath of disbelief as I touched my lips with my fingers. Still in shock.
Did that just happ.....
"Adrian!" Candela's loud voice made me flinch.
Tell me she didn't see that!
I am fucked!
