Fire Meets Gasoline Chapter Eighteen {Davinia}
Rolan's warm hand tries to hold my hand but I'm content with my nails digging into my own skin. He eventually holds my hand and pulls it to his lap. He moves forward, his lips brushes my skin as he whispers into my ear. "You're frowning, Mika. Everyone is watching. Your lips look so edible in that pout" He teases. A laugh unknowingly breaks out of me and I stop myself immediately but it's too late. Everyone breaks into a fit of laughter. I feel my body get hot. "Relax, Mika" He says before pulling away. I watch him from the corner of my eye. A smirk plays on his lips as he takes his cup of wine and nudges it to Uncle's direction. I can feel mother's hot gaze one but I chose to ignore it. Uncle continues. "We celebrate the engagement between Rolan Niklavo Dimitri, the king of the Russian empire and Davinia Jewels Lucchese, the Queen of the Italian empire. She's all yours Rolan, take good care of her" his voice turns deep at his last sentence. Rolan nods firmly before sipping his win

The night has lost its magic. The garden is mostly beautiful at night but right in this moment, everything looks ugly. "So ungrateful and spoilt. I treat you with love and care and you repay me with this! It's not my fault that you love to hurt yourself!" she screams pointing the fork at me. Enraged and pained, I shoot up from my seat and face head on. There's only a few inches space between me and fork she holds which starts to shake vigorously. Her wrist is shaking and when she realizes it she drops it in shock. I watch her actions and I smile sadly. "I might be a masochist but at least I know better than to hurt those those who care for me. I'd rather hurt myself than hurt my family but you?" I eye her with disgust and pain. She seems to slowly return to her senses. Her face is fill with remorse and hurt. The maids behind her begin to look everywhere but not my face. Anger boils in me. " Who allowed it? "I ask calmly despite the rage raving in me. No one answers. I look between

My eyes fly open immediately those words leave his lips. I sit upright to see the longing and love in his eyes. I do love Romeo but this is wrong. I'm thinking of the possibilities of things that could happen if I let him kiss me. The library is silent and chilly as we stare intensely at one another. He is leaning forward. This is wrong. "We can'—" My words get swallowed by his soft warm lips. If my eyes weren't open before, they are now. Romeo is kissing me, his hands slip to my waist and pulls me flush to his body that I feel his ruggness but this isn't right. I don't feel the way I expect to feel. No butterflies, no electricity, no sparkles.... I should stop this. I put my hands on his chest to push him away. "Re—" Someone pulls him away from him and holds him by the collar. "What part of" Engaged "do you not understand boy?" my breathing seizes by the sound of that voice. Rolan Dimitri holds Rex's collar with a look I've never seen on his face before. He looks like he wants t

Seconds passes and I still haven't found my voice. His ministrations on my wrist pauses. He looks up and catches me staring, a slow grin makes way to his lips then he hides it by looking back at wrist and resumes with his cleaning. "Please forgive Rex, he's —""An idiot and a fool" he finishes my sentence without looking up at me. I bite my lip to stop me from saying something in Rex's defence."It wont happen again" "I hope so. I hate sharing" this time he looks up at me and my lower lips leaves my teeth. His hand comes up to rub my lip. "I'm infatuated with you Davinia. Why?How am I supposed to know the answer to that! He wraps my wrist with bandages, he does it perfectly. This is probably not the first time he is doing this, but for who? His wife? Did she get hurt on a regular basis? The thought doesn't settle well with me. He says he's infatuated with me, looking at him now I don't feel my heart racing, I'm not nervous and giddy but there's a heat pooling in between my legs an

The whole room feels hot and my dick is finding it hard to remain still in my pants. She just had to say that. I watch her bite her lips as her thighs move against each other. "Where and how?" I ask. Again, I found it hard to breathe when she takes my hand in hers and palms her left boob. They feel soft beneath my palm, it is not massive but it is big and full, I'm just a little bit far from ripping her dress off her body. My voice is clouded with heat as I speak. "Let's start from here" I move my hand on her boobs until I'm groping it without the need of her directing, she pulls her hand away, allowing me to man handle her boob. A loud moan mixed with a sob breaks out of her lips. I want more. "More. Be rough with it. I need it. I need more" She pants. How did we get here. Her on my bed with eyes clouded with lust and passion and my hands binding her hands together above her head. Our heavy panting fills the room, I feel very hot and tight. I've never been with a woman who drives

"This must be the second time you're taking a shower now, Brother" Nikolai snickers at me from where he sat on my bed where Davinia had been two hours ago, sprawled on my bed with a skin so red one would miss it for a strawberry. Just thinking about it makes blood rush to my lower region. Not again.I rub my wet hair dry with a towel before throwing it to his face. He catches it with a smug smile on his face. "I've never seen you this sexually......."he swirls his right hand in the hair like he's thinking deep of the word to complete his sentence." Frustrated" he ends dramatically, wiggling his eyebrows at me."I don't have time for this. What do you want?" I snap at him. He drawls back with his hand on his chest like an heartbroken melodramatic damsel."You do not have time for your little brother but you have time for your young beautiful wife to be that you are unfortunately infatuated with." He says in fake distress. I ignore him as I move towards the balcony. The cold wind jolts

A ping sound of my phone with a notification popping up on the screen, It shows a message from one of my boys back at Moscow "Two of our clubs just exploded."What?I make a call to father immediately and he picks it at one ring. "I assume you've seen the news" his groggy voice tells me he just woke up from a nap. "Someone's messing with us son. I know you're with your in laws but something has to be done" He pauses, I hear paper ruffling in the background. "I'll go see for myself. I suggest you wrap the shit up and fly back home" He finishes before cutting the line. My hand grips my phone so hard, I fear it might crack. Andrei walks into the room with a tablet in his hands. "You should see this" He says as he hands the tablet to me. I take it and begin to read the news displayed on it. Two of the Italian mafia owned hotels just exploded, taking hundreds of lives in it, The headline read. Above the headline is the picture of the buildings burnt to the ground. The air leaving my nost

There's only one person who can pull such a stunt and expect to go scot free. I glance down at Davinia, she peers her green eyes at me through those glasses. "I too have a hunch" she holds my gaze for a while, her cheeks getting brighter and her lips parts a little. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's affected by our proximity. A knock on her door breaks the moment and we both turn our heads towards the door. "It's Butcher. There is a call for a meeting" A man says from behind the door. Davinia stands up from her seat. She sends me a fleeting glance which makes blood run all the way to my dick. I groan inwardly. She opens the door for the man who calls himself Butcher. He looks like one. Very bulky and tall. One thing amuses me tho, his eyes. His eyes are dead. He's a killer, a cold bloody killer. He eyes meet mine and he calculates for a few seconds in his head if I'm a threat or not. I send him a cold smile, he could be a monster but when his eyes leaves mine and soften when he lo

"I went into the kitchen and made one of my favorite tea recipes, Creamy vanilla flavored peach ice tea. Taught your chef something new today, he should pay me." Mrs. Dimitri makes me smile again when I see her holding two plastic cups with dome lids filled with a foamy peak creamy orange-colored iced tea."I knew it would make you smile." She hands me a cup, and I take it, uttering a small thank you. The cold drink somehow makes me feel better about the drive. Costa, our driver, leads us to the Lexus where we take our seats at the back and settle.She watches me with eager eyes as I place the straw between my lips and take a long sip of my drink. My eyes close involuntarily; the heavenly taste commands them to do so. The sweet peach flavor bursts on my tongue, mixed with the vanilla ... I can't help but hum in approval at the taste.I pull the straw away. "It is divine." I moan before slipping the straw back in and enjoying the rest of it."I'm glad you love it. There is more where i

"Tutto avrà senso nel tempo. Farò ancora le mie solite visite, anche se i primi mesi dopo il matrimonio saranno difficili, ma ce la faremo. Sono il momento principale, incontro mia suocera, la signora Dimitri." ("It will all make sense in time. I will still make my usual visits, although the first few months after the wedding will be hard, but we'll get through it. In the meantime, meet my mother-in-law, Mrs. Dimitri.")I go to hug his right hand tightly so he can get the hint, and he does. His eyes widen in surprise, then in panic. He laughs nervously as he stretches out his hand for a shake."I'm Charles, nice to meet you." I sigh. At least his English is getting better."You do a good job here. I've never been to a winery before; it looks great." Mrs. Dimitri praises him while shaking his outstretched hand.A small blush takes over Charles' face as he thinks of what to say back to her in English. I immediately turn him away. "Please forgive him; he's flustered, and his English stil

I start the engine and drive outside of the garage, down the lane to the ranch. The sun shines on the smooth green pastures where the cows are out and scattered, chewing on the grasses without a care in the world, surrounded by white wooden gates of medium height. A worker is right at the left corner of the field; he spots me and waves with his hat. I do the same as I drive by.“This looks beautiful. I must say I'm surprised,” Mrs. Dimitri looks amazed by the view in front of her. “You manage the whole ranch?”“I have help. It's not easy running the mafia and a ranch,” I say as I take a turn to the right, heading up the hill toward the stables. It's beginning to get hot, and I hope it won't be a problem for Mrs. Dimitri.“No, it's not, but you're doing a good job, dearie,” she cooes. I feel her gaze on me, but I don't divert my eyes away from the road. “Will you be able to leave this behind?” Another feeling of déjà vu washes through me again. My lips tug upwards; she notices. “Did I

“So it's okay when you're grumpy and wicked at any time of the day, but when I do it, it's wrong?” Her eyebrows and nose scrunch. She looks offended.I run my hands through my messy hair and scoot back on my bed till my back touches the headboard. “First of all, I didn't say it was wrong. I said it was too early, and of course, the same does not apply to me because I'm the boss.” My arms fold underneath my bosom, and I shrug with a smug look on my face. For some reason, getting on Tiana’s nerves makes me feel good this morning.She raises her fist as if to punch me, but I immediately raise my hands high in surrender. “Just joking. What has your knickers in a twist?”She huffs again. I eye her outfit. Did she sleep in her suit, or did she dress up before coming to my room? But it's very early, and her clothes look ruffled. It's either she slept in it or she didn't sleep at all. Poor thing.“Your board members are so slow!”“Too much caffeine does that to one. And I've been overworking

"She likes gardening. She also likes to read but had to put a stop to that when it began to strain her eyes. She loves animals and will definitely love to hear how you've been managing the ranch after your father passed. Mother is not as energetic as she should be. She won't take up most of your time; she only wants to bond with someone who's about to be a member of her family, no need to be nervous. As long as you don't treat her like a patient… you both are good to go."I'm tongue-tied and unprepared. I totally wasn't expecting him to try and help me out. If all he said is true, then having a conversation won't be so bad. I did tell him my problem, and just like he promised, he helped find a solution for me. Maybe this marriage thing is going to work. I find myself smiling like a fool; my face brightens up, and I immediately return to reality."If you say so, I would have no problem speaking to her then. Thanks for telling me what she likes.""And you don't necessarily have to talk

We step inside together, but I immediately excuse myself when my phone starts to ring, fortunately for me. "I will try my best to join you for dinner. Please feel at home. Martha here is available for all you need help with; I will be in my study." With that, I bow to her. When I raise my head, she's looking at me with the same intent gaze that Rolan often directs at me. Like she's studying me, with the intention of knowing everything about me and acing every test and exam about me. Just like Rolan’s stares, hers also make me uncomfortable and nervous. I don't let her study me for long as I nod at Martha and take quick steps to the elevator.“Why is my heart beating this way?” I mutter under my breath as I rub my chest where my heart lies with a little force.“You should see a doctor. He would know the answer to that,” comes a snarky response from behind me, right before I open the door to my room. My eyes widen, and my legs move before I think. The disturbance in my chest is replace

I'm coming from the airport with Rolan's mother in the passenger seat. Roland was kind enough to let me know of his mother's illness. She was involved in a major accident years before Rolan and Nikolai came into their lives, and it hindered her eyesight. Medications and surgeries have been able to help her see thus far, but not for long. Her sight is getting blurry, and she can't see a thing without her glasses now. He also made sure to inform me not to treat her like a sick patient. He said she hates it and it spoils her mood. He also listed certain foods and snacks she will want to eat but is not allowed to eat. I've been repeating the names of those foods and snacks in my mind so I won't forget. These days my mind is like a browser with lots of tabs open and a series of downloads. I'm trying my best to keep up with my memory. "Are you always this quiet, or am I the cause of this awkwardness?" I turn to meet her squinted eyes and her smiling lips, completely at a loss for what to s

"First the 'shadow,' now the Grandmaster, eh?" Christian blows a thick puff of nicotine into the atmosphere while Nicolai and I stand behind him as he faces the glass door to the balcony of his office."That's what he calls himself now. Rumors say no one has seen his face. Apparently, he goes about with a mask," Nicolai reports, reading from the tab in his hand. Christian scoffs, but it sounds more like a short cough."I wonder why. Of course, no one would want to stare at a disfigured face. I'm starting to feel regret for not letting you kill him." He turns and meets my cold eyes. "So, what's the plan?""He needs to be put down. He is causing problems for the Italians, and he is doing that to ruin the joining of our families. He causes problems and frames the Russian soldiers for it. I won't sit back and watch any longer. It's good that he is under the guise of Grandmaster. We will kill him under the pretense that he wants to ruin our mafia and gain full control."Christian's eyes na

My mind is clouded with thoughts as I drive. Why did that man come to my office? He knows we've been searching for him. He came all the way to my office to tell me not to trust anyone? Who exactly is he? Most importantly, is he a friend or a foe or a clue to help solve my father's case? He did mention being friends with my father, but I don't remember seeing him in any of Dad's pictures.Dad never mentioned any ex-soldier, nor did Uncle. If he is a friend, why is he just making an appearance now? What is his mission? I hate not knowing. It makes me want to itch. This is not the mood I want to have when I meet Mother. I try to think of things that should put me in a better mood. Roland's veiny arms come to mind, the way they flex when he's handling me. His eyes, I can stare at them forever, especially when they burn with heat for me. Yeah, I love that. His suppressed moans and groans… A horn pulls me back to reality, and I realize that I'm not moving at a green light.As I enter the co
