"What is that?" I asked, inching closer to the table as Luca pulled out a piece of paper that had been folded really neatly.

Luca didn't answer me straight away and instead unfolded it, then read whatever was inside.

As he did so, I could see the lines drawn on his forehead pull together, forming a frown I wasn't sure I liked. His eyes darkened to a shade I knew was very much not from amusement. And his shoulders? They stilled, the muscles bunched up as he gripped the paper and glanced through.

Whatever was in there, had to be serious. "Luca..." I moved closer, stopping just a few inches from the table.

Tension cracked in the quiet room, my inital complaint of not wanting a bodyguard, forgotten.

I wondered if the note was left by the man who had broken into the villa. Was that why he had come straight here? Now that I looked at it, the study didn't look like anything was out of place. I mean, I wasn't sure since I had not come in here, but I could remember that he didn't look li

  • The Don’s Reluctant Obsession   Chapter 19

    ELENAI forced my legs to take me inside the house, and heard from behind me, the sound of the car pulling back, and driving away.He really wasted no time dumping me here huh?I still couldn't help but be curious about what had been in that paper. I hated that he kept that from me. Wasn't that the whole point of being paired up with him? They could at least carry me along in what I signed up for!"Welcome, ma'am." Rosetta said, taking my suitcase, and rolling it inside, and up the stairs. I gave her a small answer, before following her up the stairs. But instead of going to my room, I lingered in the hallway.I walked towards an old frame, and stopped in front of it. It had been one of the first things I had noticed when I first cmae up the stairs. From below, you couldn't see it. Not until you reached the first landing.Martinelli De Santis.I could recognize that face anywhere.My father's house was scattered with newspapers from back in the day, until when he died. Even some pictu

    LUCAThe dim lights in the club messed with my vision, but not for long as my eyes quickly adjusted after a few moments of standing just inside the entrance.The seats in the club and bar area, were almost empty.Which was weird, even if it was a bit early. I looked at my watch and quickly corrected that thought. For a new club, this was disappointing. Even the bartender looked bored as he attended to a lone customer who was perching at the bar, looking disasociated from his surroundings.I narrowed my eyes, and took few steps in, scanning the area just to be safe."Are you sure about this, Luca?" Dante asked, coming to stand beside me, his eyes also checking around us."We were invited, both directly, and indirectly, so yes. I am sure." I told him and didn't wait for him to speak before going straight to the the bar. I signalled at the bartender, who seemed excited to finally get new customers. "Just tequilla." I told him, easing into the stool, while Dante did the same."Well, I don'

    ELENAI woke up to the sound of faint music coming from somewhere in the house.The bedside clock showed that it was 11am in the morning, making my eyes widen in shock. How had I slept so late into the morning.The last thing I could remember was Rosetta informing me that Luca had not yet returned hom, even if it was way past the bedtime of even an adult. I had allowed her persuade me into leaving the living room, and going up to my bedroom so I could sleep. And se had promised to inform me if he got back home.That was last night.Had he returned already and she must have just let me sleep?I got off the bed, pulling on a silk robe over my really skimpy nightgown, and went into the bathroom, where I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I applied a little moisturizer to my face and hands, and then a small amount of lip balm, before heading out of my room.To Luca's bedroom.A small thrill of heaven knows what, made itself known to me, at the thought of going to his bedroom. "Good mor

    LUCAAnd I did.I took her lips in the softest of kisses, covering her lips in mine, and drawing in her bottom lips.She tasted like fruit... sweet, wet, and soft.I slipped my hands around her waist, pulling her in so her body was plastered againt mine. The soft material of her robe against me was like a stimulant, teasing my skin. The raw need in me was primal, and something I had never felt before. Before meeting her.I needed to bury my cock in her pussy. I couldn't put it off any longer. The chase, the denial, the ache, it was too much. Even for me. She was my wife. Mine.Last night, after speaking to Alberto, I and Dante had gone to get some drinks, and a bimbo had made her way to me. I could have taken her. Fucked her to release all these tension inside of me, but the moment her skin had touched mine, I had realized I wanted no one else, but the woman in my arms.Elena's fingers slipped into my wet hair. She curled her fingers around a handful, and pulled tight in a way that ma

    ELENAMy eyes fluttered open ever so slowly, and I rolled over to my side on the bed that literally felt like a cloud, underneath me. My body, although I could feel some aches in my joint, hummed deliciously. I blinked, clearing my slightly blurred vision as I focused on two blue birds perching on the window, chirping adorably. The reminded me of cinderella.I blinked again, then sighed as I rolled on to my back, then stretched my sore muscles, in a bid to release the tension in them. My eyes zeroed in on the patterns on the ceiling tha looked really different from what I was used to in my bedroom.My bedroom...Memories of what I had done with Luca rushed into my mind, causing my cheeks to burn. I quickly turned to the other side, half-expecting to see Luca laying there, on the other side of the bed. But I was equally disappointed, and happy he wasn't.I lifted the sheet over me head, as more and more of the memories came.Oh dear...We had finally made love.The man had been bothe g

    ELENASmall droplets of rain hit my skin as I walked really fast, into the huge office building that belonged to my father. First off, everything in me had screamed not to indulge him and just let whatever it is he had for me be. I wasn't sure I needed anything more from the man who had gradually become a stranger to me in the past years.I smoothed my hand over my slightly damp hair, hoping to spread the moisture so it dried up faster, and nodded at the receptionist who greeted me.Behind me, I could feel and hear the presence of Samuel. Big bulky Samuel. I had spoken to Luca long enough to tell him that I had a meeting with Alberto. To which he had voice his instant disapproval, but after much begging, had finally allowed me to leave but with Samuel in tow.Speaking of Luca, he hadn't come home and had not said anything about it, when I had asked."Thank you." I murmured to Samuel as he punched the button that would take us to my father's floor. I didn't care to ask him how he knew

    ELENA"The answer is no, Elena." Luca said, even before I finished speaking.My chheks burned, from annoyance and frustration. I had come home, only for Hakeem to tell me he was waiting for me in his study. And he had been. Sitting, with his chest bare, nad his mouth stuffed with his cigar, looking every bit the dangerous don he was.And attractive as hell, but I wasn't falling for that. Not now when all I wanted to do, was wrap my hands around his neck and strangle the hell out of him."I wasn't asking for your persmission, Luca. I was simply leting you know about what I have agreed to do." I stated, matching his cold tone.Oh...two could definitely play this game. And I was more than ready to do so.To my right, both of his brothers, Alessandro, and Dante sat, quiet as hell, in the awkward tension in the air. Danted had gotten up to leave when I had entered, but Luca had waved him off, telling him that he was going to be quick, as they had far more important things to talk about.I

    ELENAI frowned as I saw every one of the De Santis men make thier way out of the house in a hurry, with Hakeem leading the way.I had in my anger, matched downstairs, and stumbled into the biggest library I had ever seen, that looked like something straight out of a fairytale movie.It was so beautiful, and filled with so many books. I had been taking a mental note of how many sections it had, when I heard the muffled sound of footsteps. And I knew I only heard it because I had left the door partially open. I hadn't bothered to go out the door to check incase I ran into Luca, and instead, went to the large window. That's when I saw all of them hastily make their way down the garden, and through a small iron gate I had never noticed before. In fact, I was sure if I hadn't seen them go through the gate, I wouldn't have realized there was anything there.Suspicion gnarled through me. And curiousity too.Why did they all look agitated, and what was through that gate that had them all r

    ELENAI ran to the bathroom.I didn't care that Hakeem was accopanying me. Or that there were a few women all heading in that direction.My feet could not take me there quick enough, and the moment I got in, I slammed the door shut, rushing into a private stall.Only when I had that locked too, did I breathe fine.Luca was going to be the death of me.I hadn't for one second, imagined that he would pull the move he did, and at that particular moment.How the hell had my orgasm synced with the closing of the auction?I twisted my head, pulling the back of my dress so I could see if I had stained it. For such amount of wetness between my legs, I was surprised the dress was dry, save for on tiny dot that I willed to dry.I pulled out a handkerchief from my bag and wiped between my legs, biting on my bottom lip hard, to keep from moaning like I desperately wanted to.The material slid smoothly, showing just how wet and slippery I was down there.I finished and contemplated for a minute wh

    LUCAHe wasn't here.At least he hadn't entered the auditorium yet.I could see the tension as some of the men sat on edge, the hopes, that Ricardo Moretti showed up, and they somehow got on his good side.If only they knew."You ordered this?" I asked, picking up the bottle of wine and noting the label. My eyes widened at what I saw.Elena looked at me, her eyes shining in the almost darkened room. "What? You don't lik it?"What were the odds that she would order my most disliked brand of wine?I turned in Alessandro's direction, and was met by just shadows, and not a good view of my brother. But I could tell he was looking at me. In fact, I could almost see the smirk on his lips."Alessandro ordered these, right?"She looked genuinely worried. "Uhmm..yeah."I shook my head and set it down. "Idiot. We'll wait till those waitresses make another round,and then we would order for something else.""Going for twenty thousand dollars?" the auctioneer continued, and I was almost bored. Even

    ELENAI allowed Luca lead me inside the building. His hand on the small of my back was warm.This time around, I hadn't worn anything excessively provocative. My hair had been let loose, just the way he liked it, and I was wearing a black silk dress that hugged me in all the right places. It had a neckline that was modrately dipped, but the back... the back was completely bare.I had seen Luca's eye grow dark s night when I had stepped out of the room, and he had stammered a bit, telling me we were late."We should have taken a few more minutes." Luca whispered, just as we walked through the entrance. His fingers grazed my bare back, making me jolt as more warmth spread. "You said we were late already." I retorted, not exactly understanding why he needed a few minutes. "Did you forget something?" I had overhead them talk about some items they wanted to display at the auction. Had he forgotten that?"Yes." he shifted closer to my ears. "I wanted to fuck you."My cheeks flamed.At this

    LUCA“Are you really okay with me moving into the house? I mean, I could stay with mum and still work fine.” Fabio, for the first time since I met him a few days ago, actually looked scared. The young man whom had faced me with fierceness was gone, and replaced with one who looked unsure.I smiled, reaching for his shoulder and patting it a few times. “Trust me, I’ll be more at ease, knowing you are under my roof, than having you out there. Besides, the less trouble you bring to your mum, the better.” I told him with all honesty, and placed my hand back on the steering wheel.I was still not completely comfortable with bringing him in, but I had agreed with Alessandro and Dante. Fabio was smart. I wasn’t sure about his threat to side with the opposite, but I couldn’t risk it.“Can you shoot a gun, Fabio?” I asked as we slowed down for the traffic light.He smirked arrogantly. “Yes.” There was no hesitation in his tone.I wondered what Martinelli would think if he saw his son now.The

    ELENAI knew I shouldn't have been coming out here, but no one had exactly banned me from going to any part of the house.Luca, Dante, and Alessandro had all gone out after lunch, with Luca saying they had somewhere to be. Even Valeria had disappeared as usual. I could not forget the lunch, even if I wanted to.All three siblings of his had taken turns interpretting our every move as something way more than it was. I was thankful though, that they had stopped with the whole me being in love with Luca comment, immediately he entered the kitchen.I didn't even want to know what his reaction to such would have been.I pushed open the gates of that led to the east wing, and frowned at the building that looked back at me.Because my bedroom window wasn't facing this part of the house, I had no view of this place. The only view I would have had, was from the kitchen and library. But the trees covered them, and it was build in a way you couldn't see it anyway.I was shocked at how identical

    LUCAThe phone pressed to my ear was hot as fuck, but I couldn't give a shit. It wasn't as hot as I was feeling inside from all the anger inside of me."Alberto, you have absolutely now right to talk to me like that. You were in the middle of that fight and I am yet to know why. So don't come at me with your bloody reverse psychology because it would not work."Fabio, had pulled a copy of the CCTV footage from the casino, and just moments before the chaos happened and the CCTV was trashed, I could see Alberto walk in.The crazy part was, I had been parked right in front with both, and hadn't seen anything.Yet here he was, blaming me for putting his daughter in danger."What I do and where I go is none of your business, son. And I am very well in the right to hold you accountable for my daughter. She is a fucking asset to me, whether she is your wife or not!" his words struck me real deep but I wasn't even. having it right now."No. You have done business with the Spaniards before. Yo

    ELENAA small gasp left my lips, my chest rising and falling. The pain from him pinching my nipple caused my whole body to hum.How we had gone from warm to cold, to hot now, was beyond me.And of course my body always responded accordingly.I mean, how could I not? When he literally stood there in nothing but boxer briefs that did nothing to hide the very obvious outline of his cock.Luca spun me around, bringing my bum to press firmly on his hardness. He raised my hands over my head, and guided me to the wall where he laid my palms flat. "Don't bring them down, no matter what." He murmured gruffly."I nodded helplessly, quickly getting overcome by lust. He could command me to lift a car now, and I would have done so. "Okay." I answered.Luca spanked me, hard. "Okay... what?" He asked, lifting up my night wear to expost my bum to the cool air.I racked my brain, trying to understand what he meant, and shuddered when I remembered his words earlier. "Yes, Sir." I quickly offered, and w

    ELENAI woke up to sunlight.And the feel of a very warm hard body behind me.I blinked, confused as hell.Where was I? And why did it smell lie delicious spicy male colgne?I jerked as my instincts kicked in, trying to move from the body, but was kept in place by big arms that wrapped around me like a cacoon. Huh?"You are finally awake?" Luca's gruff baritone vibrated down the length of my back. I gasped at the sound, wondering why I was in this position. And it felt so good."What happened? Why am I here?" I was enjoying his warmth too much, and all thoughts of leaving escaped my mind as he pulled me even closer."You passed out." he murmured close to my ears, "We rushed you to the hospital. You woke up on the way, then passed out again. Anyway, I decided to bring you home, since you can get better care here." I shut my eyes tight, remembering what had happened. The man... Samuel... me pulling the trigger, fully intending to kill him. I had never shot at a person before. I had bee

    MATTEO I wanted to chase after that idiot, but refrained from doing so, and instead, focused on lifting a passed out Elena into my arms. My heart thudded violently,and the thought of anything happening to her, felt like someone was ripping me to shreds. Heck just knowing she had been in danger, had me shaking. When I heard the first gun shot, I had lost the ability to breathe. "Fuck!" Hakeem hissed, trying to wrap samuel's lower abdomen where he had been shot. He was losing a lot of blood, and we needed to get to the hospital and quick. I picked Elena's gun, and got into the car, refusing to let her out of my arms. That was where she belonged. Hakeem helped a still conscious Samuel into the passenger's seat of the car, before starting the engine. I shot a quick message so the area could be cleaned, and the vehicle towed away. "I'm sorry boss, but the car wouldn't start." His voice was slurred, from how weak he was getting. Even his eyes barely stayed open. "It's okay, Samuel.
