Zoey p.o.vThe warm weather was what welcomed me the second I came out of the plane, the sun was at its perk. But for some reason it was calm and tender on the skin, wrapping me like a warm blanket.Then the breeze, blowing softly, soothing your skin, and easing any tension in the air. It is just me or is the weather different, and the air foreign.Of course, it has to be, I am in a foreign land.I didn't have an opportunity to enjoy it like any average person would, stretching out their limbs and embracing the foreign air. Instead, I was hurriedly led to the SUV parked a few feet from the plane.Marco's securities were surrounding us and lead us to the car. This is not the type of vacation I was hoping for, I wanted to lie low and just enjoy myself here. I'm losing the freedom and advantages I had as an average person, I'm in no way regretting my involvement with Marco. Immediately, we entered the car, Marco went back to his phone. He has been this way since we embarked on the long
Zoey p.o.vMarco was not home when I arrived, I guess he went about his business. It was just Camila and Isabella settling in, in their rooms.Rebecca has gone home, as we had discussed earlier in the plane, and she will be here tomorrow morning to taking touring around Italy.Something I am excited about, I can't wait to tour the place people can't shut up about.A maid led me to my room, it was already past six, so I decided to take my bath.I am still full when they came to call me down for dinner, and fatigue, all I wanted to do was just laying on the bed and embrace the sleep that has been calling out my name.•••“Zoey, it's past ten already, we should go to bed.” Camilla yawn, trying to fight off the sleep. “Yeah, I think Marco is going to come home late today.” Isabella supported immediately, both of them are exhausted from the long trip but are too stubborn to go and rest. Saying they want to accompany me. “You two need to rest, don't forget I just woke up not too long ago
Marco p.o.vHer pussy squeezes my dick like a vice and she cries out breathlessly. "Get me jealous next time and I will punish you more severely." My hands gliding towards the front of her body and capturing her nipples between my fingers. I pinch them so hard that she yelps and her entire body jolts. Her nipples are hard as fuck and stiffen more as I roll them tantalizingly. "Yes daddy." She whispers back, her hips rock back and forth on my thighs and my cock twitches inside of her. My mind shifted to another scene where I had taken her against the bathroom wall. The cold water bounce on my back as I shield her with my body, going in and out of her, supporting her right leg up for more opening. My eyes were pinned to the movement of my cock disappearing in and out of her, visibly coated and slick with her arousal. My abdomen clenched in warning, my balls tightening with the familiar sensation of an orgasm. She feels fucking right and warm around me. "Fuck," I rasp under my br
Zoey p.o.vWe are trapped.Silence fell on the room, with great tension hanging in the air. My breathing slow down as I took in everything, they were forging oblivious to our presence.Not acknowledging us, or intentionally hanging us in suspense. Camila and Isabella cower to my side, both of them held on to my hand. I couldn't dictate what Camila was feeling, but I could easily feel the fear radiating off Isabella.I was panicking inwardly, but I try not to show it out, I know better than to let my enemy perceive my fear.“Observations…. Observations.” The man on the chair spoke up, bringing his gaze upon us. He wasn't very handsome, but he had the most beautiful pair of sea green eyes, they are dreamy and alluring.His left fingers tapping on the armrest softly, his legs crossed over the other in a typical Mafia boss way, while a cigarette in between his right fingers.He brought the cigarette up to his mouth, I watch as his lips parted before wrapping on the cigarette. He dragged f
Zoey p.o.vMy brain was clogged when I regained consciousness, my sight foggy. “You took your sweet time waking up, Bambi.” I heard the voice of the man who took us, I still don't know his name or who he is.But of course, he's one of Marco's enemies.His words made me snap out of the foggy state, hastily look around for Camila and Isabella, they were both chained against a chair on each side of me.Both of them are wide awake, I assume they were waiting for me to wake.I noticed the chains on my hands, but I wasn't chained against the chair, the same way they chained my legs together.I glare at him, he was calmly sitting before us. He smiled viciously at me when he felt my glare on him.“No need to glare at me my love.” He teased, that only intensifies my glare. “Stubborn Woman.” He shook his head at me but made no move, he simply took a gulp from the glass of alcohol in his hand.Silence stretch upon us, nobody said anything. It was as if they were silently mocking us, or they wer
Zoey p.o.vMarco majestic presence dominated the huge hall, his power is evident. The look he cast on Pierre and his men was that of a predator intimidating his prey.Most of Pierre's men cower in fear at his presence, Marco's brutality is no secret in the Mafia world, especially when he's challenged publicly.Even when Marco hasn't come back to my life, and I was just a simple girl, living an ordinary life. I knew about Marco's ruthlessness, so of course they are well aware of who just came in.“How did you get in?” Pierre foolishly asked, there was slight hint of fear in his voice.Isn't it obvious?“The question should have been, how did you found our location?” Marco moves towards Pierre with strength that emanates from him with every move.“Daytime robbery in my territory, that's suicidal. A dangerous move for a next in-line Don.” Marco hissed.“Your territory?” Pierre scoffed mockingly. “Too bad you have too many snakes around you.” I know who he's referring to, Rebecca. She's
Marco p.o.v“You picked the wrong person to work with, Pierre.” I threw at him.He just finished the call with the mastermind behind this whole stunt. Pierre is just a scapegoat for the mastermind, if he succeeds with the plan he will keep him by his side to use in disguise as subordinates.If he doesn't succeed, I will kill him, which is a win-win for everybody.“What do you mean.” Pierre glares at me, his stare speaks a lot about his intention of wanting to see me dead.I laughed, waving him off. He's not my problem, and I won't definitely won't harm him. Yet, not until his partner gets here, no one crosses me and go unscathed.“Do you really think he's going to help claim your position?” I ask him absent-mindedly.“You don't know anything.” He hissed.“Oh? I don't know anything, but I do know he's just using you.” I took a sip from his glass of alcohol.“Cheap drinks.” I commented, a few minutes ago he was sitting high and mighty on this chair. Gulping the alcohol down his throat,
Zoey p.o.vI was barely holding myself from lashing out, the audacity she has. “Marco knew you wouldn't leave, guess he was right.” She chuckled softly as if what she said or did was funny.Ignored her, waiting for her to be done with her message and leave. She won't come here and act like everything is fine as it is.“He wants me to take you home, it's not safe here.” It's not safe? As if she wasn't the one that brought us here.“I'm not leaving, please leave.” I don't care whether I am rude or not. In fact, I wanted to be rude, it was intentional.She didn't reply, I could feel her stare on me, but I refuse to acknowledge that. I guess Marco hasn't learned about her, a well hidden spy.“I'm not an enemy, neither did I betray Marco.” She mumbled quietly, I barely heard what she said.“What?” I probe.“Do you really think a whole plot will be carried out in this country without Marco getting sniffing it?” She asked.Of course not, I know that. Marco is well-informed, his spies and su
Adriano’s POVThe soft light of the living room barely cut through the weight of the night as I watched her. I blinked thinking I might have imagined the words I heard earlier.Melanie stood a few feet away, still in her jeans and that worn leather jacket she seemed to love so much. I noticed because ever since the cold rolled in, she had been wearing more of that jacket. She looked like trouble and comfort rolled into one, the kind of combination that could destroy a man if he wasn’t careful and I’ve never really been careful around my girl. In fact, I was fast losing the patience I thought I was holding on to and if she was messing with me, I would be pissed.Now, though, something had shifted. Her eyes met mine, and I knew we were past the point of trying to avoid the sexual tension that existed in perpetuity between us.“Kiss me,” she said softly, but there was nothing timid in her tone. It wasn’t a question or even a
Melanie’s POVAdriano led me into the restaurant and we were led towards a private booth. The servers were very polite and a little too eager to server but it was to be expected.The man booked the whole restaurant to take his girlfriend on a date. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out he was influential.The food was amazing!I had a hard time deciding between two dishes but I ended up going for the chicken cacciatore while, Adriano ordered the second dish I was considering for himself.I tried not to swoon at how attentive he was to me because I know for a fact that he ordered that dish because of me but I didn’t want to draw attention to it.And as I suspected, when our food arrived and we began eating, he asked me if I wanted to try a bite of his food and somehow, half of his parmesan ended up on my plate.Thank God he ordered enough servings.The conversation also flowed freely all
Melanie’s POVI clocked out and ran to change out of my scrubs, ignoring the numerous eyes that were on me. Some were staring at me with approval but most of them had looks of jealousy and envy, like I somehow stole what belonged to them.Well, that was none of my business. The fact was, Adriano is my man and they can look all they want but can't have him. So that was one way to look at it. Besides, I wasn't a stranger to being stared at.I changed out of my regular clothes and when I got out. She was glaring at daggers at me but there was no mistaking the envy in her eyes when she saw, Adriano earlier.I smiled at her. Take that you petty, conniving, bitch. Yes, you can think you're all that and try to take away surgeries from me but you'll never have my man.I got to the nurses’ station, half expecting to meet, Hayley alone but to my surprise, she was engrossed in a conversation with, Adriano and they were laughing.
Melanie’s POV“Ugh… you guys are so cute it’s disgusting,” Aria said, once again interrupting our moment.“Shut up, Ari!” Adriano barked at her.“Whatever, I’m going to be with, Alice in the kitchen so wrap this up because we’re all having dinner together and I don’t want you making googly eyes at each other at the dinner table,” she said.“You still haven’t said it, Melanie,” Adriano said when we were finally alone. “I need to hear you say it.”“You need to hear me call you, baby?” He nodded. “Yes, I do because you’re mine and I’m yours. Every part of me belongs to you. So I’m your baby and it feels fucking good to hear you admit it.”I would have laughed if he wasn't being incredibly sweet. A grown-ass man was happy I called him, baby. Now that was a first.“Still, you shouldn’t have yelled at your sister that way,” I told him."She can handle it besides how do you expect me to let out
Melanie’s POVAdriano and I spent the day watching movies and munching on junk food after he finished the entire jar of cookies I made for him.I’d never seen someone that obsessed with cookies and it’s actually funny to see, Adriano react that way to the cookies.I must admit that it made me feel good that he loved my baking, now it got me wanting to do more. Maybe bake a pie or some muffins. I might start a bit easier and go with brownies instead but we'll see.When we got tired of staying indoors, he suggested we go out for a walk around the grounds and I gladly agreed.I had never really wandered around the house except the insides. I knew that the staff quarters were also in the compound but I'd never been there, and neither do I know how they live over there. It turned out the quarters were an array of bungalows for the staff.That way everyone had their privacy. There was also a large kitchen. Apparently, th
Adriano’s POVI have never loved being injured more than this moment.Melanie has been treating me like an incapacitated child and I had no complaints.Thanks to the ibuprofen she made me take after breakfast, the pain in my arm wasn’t unbearable and thank God I gave in to her.The pain was quite intense at night and the only comfort I had was having Melanie sleeping in my arms since I was doing a shit job of that.However, she woke up at various intervals throughout the night to check on me and I did a good job pretending to be asleep at those times. I knew that because she didn’t dispute what I said when I told her I slept great.“Thankfully you didn’t pop any of the stitches in your sleep,” Melanie said. She was in the middle of changing the bandages on my arm.“I’m a good patient,” I told her.“Whatever,” she scoffed and finished bandaging my arm.“Thanks for taking care of me, Melanie,” I said.“You don’t need to thank me but you’re welcome all the same,” she replied.I leaned i
Melanie’s POVI woke up feeling something poking me from behind I immediately knew what it was.I was tempted to rub myself on him but, Adriano was still asleep and I didn’t want him to wake up while I was in the middle of whatever I was doing because I wasn’t sure how I would recover from that embarrassment.I felt him stir a bit and I feigned sleep, but it turned out I wasn’t that great of an actress because he knew I was awake.“Good morning, little nurse,” he whispered in my ear. “You can stop pretending to be asleep now.”I groaned. “You’re annoying in the morning,” I said.“Nope, I’m a ray of sunshine especially because I get to wake up next to you,” he replied.I ignored him and rolled over so I could face him.“Did you sleep well?” I asked.“Yeah, I did. I told you I can handle a little pain,” he answered.That wasn’t what I saw when I woke up a few times in the middle of the night to check on him. His face was contoured in pain and it was obvious that he was having a fitful s
Melanie’s POVAfter Adriano had his dinner, I gave him some painkillers that he took grudgingly but I put my foot down and insisted so there was no way for him to win that argument with me.“Thank you, Melanie,” he said.I was drying off the dish he used while he was keeping me company in the kitchen.“For what?””Taking care of me,” he replied.“I didn’t do much. I just stitched you up,” I responded.“You did more than that. You were my safe space. I went out today knowing I had you to come home to and I’ve never had that,” he said.I frowned in confusion. “You’ve never had a safe space?”"I've never had someone to come home to. Someone is waiting up and worried about me. I've never had that and you gave me that. You shined your light in my dark world and gave it color."God, he was being so sweet right now that I was about to cry. “What about your family? I know you really care about them, aren’t they your safe space?”“They’re bound by blood to always be on my side but you aren’t,”
Melanie’s POVOh, my God!I just let, Adriano finger fuck me!It was the most amazing sexual experience I’ve ever had and I didn’t even get to see his dick. Now I was embarrassed.I didn’t know if I would be able to look him in the eye ever again so I buried my face in his chest, trying to avoid the inevitable post-orgasmic haze conversation that we were bound to have any moment now.“Don’t do that, little nurse,” Adriano whispered in my ear.“I’m not doing anything,” I replied but it sounded more like a mumble.“You’re not looking at me and I have to wonder whether or not you regret what just happened,” he said.I raised my head to look him in the eye. “I don’t regret it,” I stated matter of factly.He smiled at me. “Good, because watching you come apart on my fingers was the most amazing thing I’ve ever watched and if you had regretted it, that would only piss me off.”Then he put the fingers that had been inside me just moments ago into his mouth and sucked my juices right off it a
