He said quietly and Alcina looked at him kindly,‘"No Don Luciano non l'hai fatto e date le circostanze penso che ognuno di noi avrebbe fatto esattamente lo stesso. È finita, ciò che conta ora è il futuro. Ricci non è suo Padre, mi ha salvato la vita e’ [No Don Luciano you didn’t and under the circumstances I think any one of us would have done exactly the same. It is over, what matters now is the future. Ricci is not his Father, he saved my life and]She looked at the men around the table and blushed prettily her blue eyes sparkling,‘Lo amo. Questa faida finisce ora, Giovanni è morto, mio Padre è morto. E' finita' [I love him. This feud ends now, Giovanni is dead, my Father is dead. It is over]She said and left the room her back ramrod straight and Ricci stared after her in shock,‘Had she just stated in front of all the Dons that she loved him?’Luciano turned to smile at the handsome young Don,‘Posso suggerirti di seguirla, Ricardo? Quella bella e giovane puledra vale la pena di
Now the guilt engulfed her and all she wanted to do was run back to her home curl up in a corner and never leave again. He stared at the lost little waif who wandered out of the door, gone was the confident, brave young woman who had left to find her ’family’ she was two years older but she was a child.‘Alcina?’He whispered and those huge azure blue met his,‘Dear God, they were so full of pain, she was broken.’He thought and then opened his arms and she was in them, so fragile and tiny, he could not believe what his eyes were telling him, she was trembling so violently he did not think twice. He had just turned sixty five but he had kept himself fit and as he scooped her up he found she weighed nothing,‘It’s alright little one, you are home now, you are safe.’He held her to his chest and carried her out to his Rolls Royce where his driver jumped out and held the door his face a picture of shock,‘Is she okay Sir?’He asked remembering the brassy teenager he had driven to the air
‘Ah, Mr Winstyne, so good of you to attend, do we need to transfer this good lady to your private clinic?’She was not in the least intimidated by the Surgeon, who was actually Lord Winstyne and who rarely got his hands dirty these days, he had his minions who did that. He always made and exception for a member of the Royal family and the beautiful young woman in front of him was a Duchess,‘No, My Lady, your friend will not be moved, she urgently needs a triple bypass and a theatre is being prepared as we speak. If you would kindly follow my Nurse she will take you to my private waiting room where I do believe her husband is waiting. I need to inform you both that surgery can take anywhere up to six hours so please be patient.’His private waiting rooms were very different from the cold dirty hard back chairs stuck in a tiny room that passed for the waiting room downstairs.This room was a large, bright airy room painted pale yellow, big overstuffed comfy chairs dotted around it, with
When they got back to their home Janie came rushing out hugging Alcina as she stepped out of the car,‘Darling girl, it is so good to see you, come in, come in, I’ve got dinner on, let me show you to your room and then we can sit down and eat.’She tugged her inside and up the stairs to a pretty pink room gushing sweetly,‘I know it’s a little girlie, our Granddaughter just loves pink I’m afraid.’They both laughed, at the pink frilly curtains, fluffy pink bedspread and mountain of pink stuffed toys,‘A little girlie?’Alcina tried not to laugh out loud biting her lip but it was a losing battle, Janie let out a loud guffaw and it set Alcina off they both collapsed together holding each other as they laughed until they cried.‘Oh God, I’m so sorry Janie.’Alcina hiccuped but then Janie started off again setting her off laughing hysterically until they collapsed onto the bed exhausted, side by side they lay panting hard.‘I really have to go and finish dinner.’Janie said not looking at
Since she had started with this new chat show its ratings had skyrocketed making it the number one show across the UK and the USA where it went out simultaneously. It was a joint venture from TV Channels on either side of the ocean and it was such a huge success she was now a big sought-after star. The Lead Singer of the Citizens studied the beautiful blonde interviewing him, since his band hit superstar status bedding women had not been a problem for any of them and he had only agreed to do this because he was obsessed with her.‘Well, Julian, thank you for coming on my show and being so candid.’She gave him her ‘professional’ smile. For the past ten minutes, all he had done was rake his eyes over her body and lick his lips hungrily. He could not have been more obvious if he had tried.‘It’s been my absolute pleasure Darling, and I know your viewers would like me to end it by inviting you to our show this weekend, as my special guest of course.’He stood up to go and join his band a
She let her voice rise a little and she had everyone's attention,‘I did not consent to that kiss. What I wanted did not matter because I am a woman and men are by nature physically bigger and stronger than us.’She indicated Julian, who was six foot one and worked out regularly to keep his body in primed condition so he looked good at all times, and then she pointed at herself. He had towered over her when he dragged her into his arms for that kiss and although he had said nothing he had felt very protective toward her until she had slapped his face so hard. The studio went silent as she continued speaking,‘It was not ‘just a kiss’ because I did not consent to it, I did not want it. In a court of law, it would be classed as a ‘Sexual Assault’ because it was forced on me.’Gasps went around the studio as they took in the seriousness of her words and then it seemed everyone turned to look at the band, Julian was stood alone, the other three members of his band had unconsciously moved
‘Julian.’She began but he interrupted,‘No, hear me out Alcina, it will be purely a publicity stunt for both of us to get this message across, really ram it home.’Alcina hesitated, it would be a good thing to do and she wasn’t busy for the next few days, he jumped in quickly,‘Come on Alcina, this is a Godsend for both of us, nothing fancy just two friends having a drink by the river.’’Glancing out of the floor-to-ceiling windows of her penthouse she saw endless blue skies and bright sunshine, it was a beautiful day and the thought of having a glass of champagne by the cool water of the river was irresistible. Julian knew he had won,‘I’ll pick you up in an hour, I’ll make all the reservations, casual smart, okay with you?’Alcina sighed and said softly,‘I’ll be ready.’It was a warm sunny day so she pulled on a light, white, summer dress, it was fitted over her breasts with tiny pearl buttons from top to bottom, it fitted to her waist and then flared out to her knees. She pulled
He questioned watching as she arched with pleasure when he pinched it hard and then tugged it, his eyes darkened he had to get her back to her penthouse and he had to get her naked.Alcina was burning, it had been so long since she had let a man touch her she had forgotten what such pleasure was like, she had, when she could bear it no longer, used her hand or her toys to give her the release she craved. It was not the same as a man’s touch and Julian had ignited the fire within her core, she knew what they were doing was a mistake, her brain was telling her to get as far away from him as she could but the alcohol had lowered all her defences. Everywhere he touched was on fire and it felt so damn good she wanted him to go further not stop, his mouth closed around her hard nipple and he sucked it then bit it, the pain was exquisite, as he licked over the spot he had bitten.Her head fell back as he moved to the other breast and repeated his actions then his hot breath was on her neck a
