ADRIAN "Breakfast is waiting; come down when you're finished," Giovanni said, his voice fading as the bedroom door opened and closed. I sighed, letting the shower's warm water poured down on me as I rinsed my hair, my mind still reeling from the fact that I had woken up in Giovanni's extravagant penthouse. Never in a million years would I have thought I would someday be waking up to Giovanni's large arm wrapping around my waist with his hot breath fanning against my neck. Neither would I have thought he would buy clothes for me, and also will be making my breakfast. Everything has happened so fast and I didn't seem to know how to undo everything that had happened. I couldn't even stop my heart from beating so fast at the mention of his name. Could it be I was beginning to develop feelings for him? That this was what love is? "It can't be." I scoffed, shaking my head. I can't possibly be harbouring a romantic feeling for him. "I can't afford to have feelings for Giovanni.
ADRIAN "Adrian..." Carlos was trying to start a conversation but I wasn't at all interested in what he had to say to me right now. I was more interested to know what the fuck my twin brother was doing here when I had clearly told him the last time he was here to never show his face to me again. I walked over to them, pushed past Carlos and grabbed my brother's arm. "Come with me." I grumbled, dragging him with me as I walked away from Carlos. Didn't want him to witness how I go crazy on my brother. "You don't have to drag me, I can walk on my own." Aston hissed, snatching his arm from my grip. I didn't stop walking until we got to the far end of the lounge, away from the rest of the people in the shop. I whipped my head in the direction of my brother, staring at him with my arms crossed over my chest. "Tell me, Aston, what the fuck are you doing here?" I barked out angrily, almost hearing my voice echoing through the room. Aston sighed, he probably didn't think things
GIOVANNI The hardest thing I had ever done in my life was watching Adrian walk away. I tracked his every step as he entered the elevator with Dominic, my eyes glued to the elevator. I didn't dare blink until the elevator doors shut and it started moving downward."Fuck! If not that it would be too dangerous for him I would have loved to bring him with me to Russia." I groaned, pressing my shoulder against the doorframe as I kept staring at the empty elevator, hoping Adrian will come out from it. Rushing back into my arms.I knew it was impossible because Adrian was already on his way to work, and me? Well, I would soon hit the road to meet dad."Just how the fuck am I going to survive two weeks without touching him? Without fucking Adrian? Or kissing him?" I hissed, moved away from the door and walked over to the kitchen aisle to clear the plates Adrian had used for breakfast.I knew this task would definitely be a difficult one before I agreed to do it. But I had to get my brother o
ADRIAN Sometimes I act impulsively, only to regret my actions later. Today was one of the days I would do something that later come to bite me in the ass.Carlos left for home after I yelled at him this morning at Berry Hour, he wouldn't pick my calls or return them when I called to check up on him after my shift. He had simply rejected the donut I got for him and refused to drive with me when Dominic came to pick me up for work. He had been acting like he didn't know me since our shift started here at Great Fisher.As I watched Carlos effortlessly charm everyone around him, while excluding me from his attention, I couldn't help but think that this wasn't the day I had hoped for, especially after waking up in Giovanni's warm and loving arms this morning.Should I have not snapped at him when he asked about my whereabouts? Should I have not treated him poorly? Should I have not hide the fact that I was sleeping with Giovanni from the very beginning?"Fuck! I hate this." I groaned out
GIOVANNI What was it about Dad that intrigued me? Was it that he was brave? Or was it because he sometimes act reckless and stupid? Or was it because he didn't give a care in the world? Coming to Russia to steal from Bratva clan was a stupid move. I knew that before leaving New York, and I was double sure about how stupid this whole thing was now that I got here. Just coming back from spying on Volkov Bratva, and all I could say was my father was a brainless fool. Volkov Bratva wasn't an ordinary man, and he wasn't stupid either. Volkov Bratva was one of the most powerful men in Russia, and he moved about with tens of men and his mansion was also heavily guarded at all time. Just how I was going to get inside his mansion without crossing an aisle of blood was something I was yet to understand. "Fuck! Get a grip, you bastard. You are doing this for your brother." I groaned, pulling my car over at the hotel's garage and slipped my gun into my jacket before stepping out of th
ADRIAN I paced back and forth in my living room, with my phone pressed gently against my ear. I bit down hard on my lower lip, my fingers trembling as I dialed Carlos for the hundredth time, but the call just wouldn't connect.My heart fluttered, and I absentmindedly rubbed at my chest. "For the love of God, Carlos, where the fuck are you?"I groaned out, pulled my phone down from my ear and clenched it tightly in my hand. Frustration wouldn't be enough to describe how I was feeling right now.I had thought my biggest worry was Carlos not talking to me, nothing would have prepared me for the fact that Carlos would disappear on me after our shift ended at Great Fisher last night. I had thought I would meet him home but he was nowhere to be found.His stuff were still here, so that meant he didn't come home at all. I had been calling him since last night to no avail. Waking up this morning, after getting ready for work I had been trying to reach him again but it was the same story."J
ADRIAN "So, you asked her to marry you?" I asked, warmth spread across my neck as I stared at Dave who was busy grinning from ear to ear.He rubbed his hands together and nodded his head, smiling warmly at me. "Yeah. Well, my parents have been bugging me to get married for a while now. I'm just happy Jessica also wanted the same thing. It makes me feel whole knowing the woman I love also loves me back and is willing to spend the rest of her life with me."That was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard a straight man said before. Dave's face lit up with a bright smile each time he talked about his soon-to-be wife and I had never been this happy for two strangers like this before."I'm so happy for you, Dave. I truly am." I said, staring down at the invitation card he had came over to drop for me.I still couldn't believe Dave would come back to Queen's to look for me after Giovanni had beaten him up the other day. He didn't really seemed bothered about it, but I was. It still haun
ADRIAN "I never knew you saw me that day." I said, truthfully. Following after Gabe as he walked me to a table. "Well," he chuckled, plunging into a seat. "I did saw you and to be fair, I couldn't stop looking at your beautiful face." "That's not fair." I groaned out, dropping the box of donut the woman had given to me on the table before taking the seat right across from Gabe. "You shouldn't have seen that." Sitting across from Gabe, I felt an overwhelming urge to bury my face in my hands. Knowing he had seen me took a cock in my mouth not too long ago made my cheeks burn with embarrassment. "Trust me, you don't have to be embarrassed about it. I mean, I've been there before. So it's all cool." He grinned, rubbing the short hair at the back of his head. "You mean, you've been caught while going at it before? In public?" I asked, a small smile crept up my face as I tried to imagine Gabe, this super sexy firefighter being caught having intimate moment in public. "Whatever
ADRIAN "Here you go." I called out the moment I got back to the table, handling Carlos his order."Thank you." He let out a small smile, taking the cup from me and then placed it on the table.I took my seat across from him, looking around the coffee shop, wondering what exactly we were doing here.The smoothie shop was right across the street and Carlos had dragged me out of the shop the moment he saw me making my way to him, saying he had something very important to say to me.I had expected him to start speaking the moment we got here, but he said he wanted coffee first. The suspence was fucking killing me."You said you got something to say to me?" I said, breaking the silence.Carlos swallowed hard, he shakily reached for his coffee and took a long sip before settling it back down on the table."Yeah, I do." He said, clearing his throat. Rubbing his clammy hands together.My eyes moved to his legs that were bobbing up and down under the table. He seemed nervous, and I wondered i
ADRIAN My heart squeezed tightly in my chest and my lungs tightened as if it would suddenly stop working. The fuzzy dizziness that filled my brain made my fingers feel numb and I immediately lost my appetite the moment Giovanni uttered those words I had been expecting from him since last night.Those words I had been waiting for him to say, but desperately praying for him not to say."I won't be able to drive you to work for now, I have so much to do." He said with a straight face, he wouldn't even move his eyes away from his food to look at me.Is that it?Is this where it all ends? Ever since his brothers left last night, Giovanni had been eerily quiet, making an unusually large number of calls; more than I had made since I learned to use a cell phone.He had been acting strange and awkward, and I sensed it was connected to the conversation he had with his brothers upstairs. I couldn't shake off the feeling that the conversation was all about me, and the uncertainty was gnawing at
GIOVANNI After the ridiculous mess Nikola had made in the kitchen, all I could say was, "My brother is a total nutcase."Did I regret rescuing his sorry ass from prison? The answer was no. But did I want to put him right back behind bars? Abso-fucking-lutely!Even after I pulled him aside and explained everything to him, he still had the nerve to come into the kitchen and say stupid shit to Adrian. I wished I didn't love him so much; I wished I could be angrier with him and fucking kill him. But I couldn't, not just because he was a stubborn idiot, but because he's my brother."Hey, Marc," I snapped at Marcelo who was already helping Adrian up to his feet, taking him to the sink and helping him rinse off his hands.That should be my work.I should be the one taking care of Adrian and making sure he's okay. But I had to look for Nikola and talk sense to him."Fuck off, bastard!" Marcelo yelled at me, without even looking in my direction."I'm fine, babe." Adrian groaned, but there was
ADRIAN I wouldn't have had anything to worry about if Marcelo was the only one coming, but Nikola? Fucking no!That bastard hated my gut and the way his sharp nails sank into my neck earlier, threatening to pluck out my gullet, I had learned to fear him.The way he pulled me out of the car with my hair, shoving me against the car and wrapped his hands around my neck, cutting through my airway. I had never been scared of death like I did earlier.I used to be scared of Marcelo Marino before I met him, but after meeting him, my fear of him had tripped. That bastard wasn't a human. He was a fucking monster.Giovanni had left the kitchen to meet his brothers in the living room, and if there had been a way to leave this building through the kitchen, I would have done it by now.I knew Giovanni told me to not worry, but not even his words could get me to calm down. What if he sides with his brother and watch him kills me?What if... Just what if he... Fuck! I know I am not being reasonabl
GIOVANNI "I'm fucking starving." Adrian grumbled the moment I emerged from the bathroom with a damp cloth in my hand.I chuckled, walking over to him. I couldn't blame him for craving food the moment we were done. I knew I had drained every last bit of strength from him, and it would be best if I fed him.I stopped by the bed, placed a soft kiss on his forehead before flicking his nipple in my hand. It made it let out a tired laugh."When you put fucking and starving in the same sentence, does that mean you want to go again? Hmm?" I smirked down at him, cradling his thighs."Do you have no shame?" Adrian scoffed, kicking my stomach and I bit back a harsh grunt. "You've been fucking me for hours without stopping. I'm seriously going to die, Gin. I need real food, not your cock.""Hmm," I pressed my lips together to suppress a grin. "Let's clean you up first then."Adrian eyed my stomach wearily, I held back my breath thinking he was going to start asking questions about where and how
ADRIAN “Beautiful,” Giovanni sighed between load of kisses he was raining on my body. "You are fucking beautiful, Amorina." He said the word, in a deep accent, it was dark and manly. It slid over my skin, and in that moment I really felt beautiful.Giovanni reached the base of my spine, and I expected him to pull away, maybe take my cock in his mouth since he seemed to want to take his beauty time. But instead, he reached between my legs and pulled out the butt plug, leaving me empty."Ahh!" I gasped, throwing my head back when my ass felt empty one minute and it was again occupied with Giovanni's tongue the next minute.His tongue slipped into the crease of my ass as his big hands pulled my cheeks apart. I held my breath. I couldn’t believe Giovanni was actually going to eat my fucking ass instead of fucking me.“Oh, god. Gin.” I cried out when his teeth scratched my rim.I felt the wet heat of Giovanni's tongue lapping at my hole and I had never experienced anything like this type
ADRIAN Giovanni sucked on my tongue hungrily like he had been starving for me, for years. His hands dropped to my neck, choking me with so much love and affection.I wanted more of this. I wanted more from him. So, I moved my shoulder between us, pushing him back a little.I stared at him, stars dancing in my vision as I stared at Giovanni. I still couldn't believe he was my boyfriend now. For the first time in my life, I got to call someone my boyfriend and I loved how good it made me feel.I wanted to go up to a high hill and yell it to the rest of the world that this man was mine, and mine alone."Gin..." The rest of my words died in my stomach when Giovanni pushed his long, rough finger against my lips, shutting me up."No." He grinned, shaking his head."What?" I asked, confused.Didn't he want me like I fucking want him now? But he might not feel the same way which was totally understandable. He wasn't the one who had a butt plug shoved up his ass after all.Giovanni slowly le
GIOVANNI For the first time in fucking forever, I didin't have myself under control. And it wasn't my fault. Adrian had occupied most part of my mind and it was fucking with my head.It would be safe to say I had lost my sense of reasoning because when Adrian said he was going to tell me everything, the cowardice part of me wanted to yell at him to fucking shut his mouth and not say a word.I was scared of what the truth might be. I wasn't so sure if the truth is something I can take, and the way Adrian's body was trembling against mine didn't do as much to calm me down.I can feel the flames of hesitation and the warring conflict rolling off of him in waves, and I want to wrap him in my arms and tell him it's okay. But it wasn't.Adrian's chest muscles stiffened against my chest like whenever he was trying to fight, escape, or reject whatever lurks in his scornful head."I didn't sleep with anyone while you were away. I swear." He grumbled, hot breath fanning against my lips and I s
GIOVANNI The car came to a stop, and I wasn't sure if I had parked properly. I pushed the door open, rounding the car, and I yanked the passenger door open. I glared at Adrian, who was still visibly shaking. He slowly moved his gaze up to stare at me. Lips parted slightly.Having Adrian here with me, but unable to wrap him in my arms and rock his body like I had wanted to was such a hard pill that I had to force down my throat.Without a word, I grabbed his hands and pressed his wrists together before pulling out a handcuffs from my pocket. Snapping it on his wrists.“What are you doing?” Adrian whispered, his eyes widening in terror as he stared up at him.Maybe he understood his situation now. The last time I had a handcuffs snapped on his wrists, it was to fuck him without having anything in my way. But the case was different now, and he knew it."Don't struggle against the cuffs if you don't want to get hurt." I warned. The words came out of my mouth, but I felt detached from my
