Adrianna RomanoI watch as she hurriedly unties him before jumping on him, wrapping her hands around his neck while he holds her like he's been waiting for this moment all his life."Oh God, I never knew you made it out alive." She runs her hands over his bare chest as if she's checking to see any scars or injuries and I couldn't shake off the nauseous-like feeling that washed over me. I've just met him for a short while, and for some strange reason, there has always been a lingering feeling of connection."I'm so sorry I couldn't do anything to help." He grabs her face, squishing her face together like she's his younger sister, before placing wet kisses all over her face.I was starting to feel uncomfortable so I tap my feet on the floor to get their attention and everyone in the room stood straight even Mateo."Mr Mateo, let's discuss business." They kept exchanging glances and they even held hands.Outrageous."I need your undivided attention here Mateo." Iglare at him and he smir
Matteo Rodriguez Munching and moaning about how good the food was, I didn't notice the small pats of footsteps on the floor until someone tugs my shirt and that's when I saw it. Wide honey brown eyes stare into my grey ones and my heart skipped a bit. The brown bouncy curls which frames her face complements her small button nose in a little heart shaped face. I notice how struck I was by how exquisitely beautiful the young girl is. "Hi." She said, her voice soft and barely a whisper but I could still make it out. I haven't been around a lot of kids but it doesn't take rocket science to know that she's shy. "Hi." I force some cheer into my voice and I curse. Even I can hear that it was forced. "How are you?" "Can you please give me some muffins? Because if my mum finds me here she's going to bring out the big guns and one of my legs would go missing." She remarks, pulling out the little chair across the room over to me, then she hopped on it. "What the- was that what your mum sai
Arianna RomanoGrumbling and angry about the plan Salvatore came up with, I looked at the dress arranged on my bed along side the undergarments but what caught my eye was the veil placed beside all the clothing.I have to hide my identity despite exposing everything else. How does this even make any sense?"C'mon is this the best Salvatore can come up with?" I ask into thin air and just the saying applies, speak of the devil and he shall appear."Yes actually, that's the best I could come up with.You know you're the only one capable of this task."He says entering my room and closing the door lightly before wrapping his bulgy arms around my neck and resting his chin on my head.Turning my head to the side and looking at him with scorn, I was mentally calculating the odds, weighing the options, going over possible outcomes, the probability of what'd happen and risks we're taking in going to the Lion's den that I didn't notice Salvatore kissing up my neck."We have work to do Salv, now
Matteo Rodriguez She was a complete different person the moment we stepped into the club.Her steps were seductive so was her voice. She clung to me like a second layer of skin laughing and being extra touchy since we were asked to act like horny honeymooners."Can you all hear me?" Vera's quiet voice filled all of our ears through the pods."We can but we don't need to hear your rapid breaths down our ears." Reid remarks flippantly and I imagine him running his fingers over his scar.Vera let out a bitter laugh gaining all of our attention. "Come on Reid, not like you didn't enjoy hearing it last night.""Wait what?" Arianna asks, shock evident all over her face before breaking into a laugh.Everyone was laughing until Salvatore - the party pooper - silenced everyone."Johnson just arrived. Arianna, do your thing."Showtime.We head into what seems like underground illegalcasino/striptease bar and the heavy saturated smell of smoke and common Venetian's "Arancia" fragrance hit me a
Arianna Romano "Take off your clothes," He orders and when he sees that I didn't make any move to do what he asked, his face hardens. "Now!" Okay what? "Or better still, I'd rip it off you myself." I didn't know how to react. I'm new to all of this. I've always been the dominant one. The one always in charge of everything even sex. Fuck, I'm always the one taking off or ripping clothes. So I just did what I knew how to do best. Annoy the fuck out of him. "What if I don't want to?" I tease, crossing my arms under my breasts and he fixes his eyes on them. Come on, everything I do is now sexual? "Sweetheart, just do what I'm asking while I'm still being nice." He starts unbuttoning the first four buttons of his shirt and I gulp. Is it hot in here? "Teo," He frowns at the nickname I've gotten used to calling him and I smirk. "I don't think you have the right to act all dominant and possessive towards me. Last time I checked, we've always hated each other so you bei-" "Ari, you k
Matteo Rodriguez The taste of her, the smell of her, the feel of her so close against me, skin to skin. There was only her. I could only think about her even if that night was days ago. Her moans, the screams of pleasure, the mews, everything was still vivid in my mind.Images of her face, the biting of her lower lip, the bed pulling, her hair sprawled around the pillow, and her screaming my name lives rent free in my head and I don't want it gone.If I had to do anything to go back to that time, I would every fucking time. Sad thing is that I don't know if I'm going to really do it with her again.Fuck.Thinking about that night makes me hard every time and it hurts. I just want to take her in every possible space, every corner, every-"Mateo?""Hmm?" I respond to the little girl I've gotten used to."What's on your mind?" Ophelia asks innocently, oblivious to everything going around her for the past weeks.If only she knew."Nothing much. I'm just thinking about the Disney movie yo
Arianna Romano"Move back Arianna!" She screamed, her body shaking with fear."Cassie, please." My eyes were already dry from crying and now I'm starting again, my face swollen."Do as you're told little princess." He warned, grabbing the knife tighter to her neck."Arianna," She tries to smile despite being in a lot of pain and that made me cry more. "It's definitely not your fault, and I definitely don't want you to cry or worry, beating yourself up for whatever happens now in the future.""Please, just let her go." I plead, getting on my knees weakly."Oh god, the princess - I mean the fucking princess is on her knees in front of me." The masked man laughed, holding her hair tighter."I swear to God, when I catch you, your death would be bad." I growl at him, stating my words matter-of-factly."That's my girl." Cassie praised, trying her best to smile."Times up. " The man announced, sliding the knife across her neck in one deep swift motion leaving her falling to the ground before
Matteo Rodriguez Amsterdam. Where it all started. And where it all ended. Most people don't know my backstory. They dig and search and they still find nothing. And I'd rather they not know. Only person aware of what I've been through is Vera and looks like she doesn't want anyone knowing her business so that's a win-win. Loading the guns stacked on my dressing table, I sigh looking at all the scars on my body. Running my fingers over each of them, the memories comes rushing in. My eyes closed shut as the pain remains evidently real in my mind. 'Every scar is a reminder of a mistake or what you've been through.' Ophelia's words rings in my head and I scoff. I'm a murderer. It's a fact. Something I grew up knowing and taught to do. I know that with everything I've done, there's no place in heaven for me. Pulling me out of my thoughts, a knock resounded throughout my quiet room. It's 2am and I'm ready to blow off anyone's head who's trying to disturb my peace but when I open th
