The Mafia's Obsession; Love Me, Love Me Not Chapter 37 - Strip!
ClaireWhen I arrived at the hotel, the staff seemed to have been expecting my arrival. Seeing how respectful the staff were acting, it made me wonder just how much power Vincent had in places all over the world.When we were in Rome he'd been able to command a random stranger we met on the streets, they'd all tremble and nod vigorously before giving in to whatever he asks of them. It was astonishing. And now he seemed to have mobilized the hotel staff to send me up to his room when I arrived, the surprising part was how everyone looked up at me and quickly changed their demeanor to that of respect when I informed them that I was here for Mr Morano.The elevator stopped at the highest floor, and the staff walked me down a secluded but luxurious looking hallway to the last room which was an exclusive VVIP hotel suite. She handed me the key card and bowed respectfully."Mr Morano is expecting you inside." "Thank you." I swiped the card and entered the suite welcomed by an expansive s

ClaireHe stood at the edge of the bed for a long time staring down at me with his chest rising and falling with each breath. After a while he leaned down, both hands braced on either side of me on the bed, his face right in front of mine. "You said...your body doesn't crave mine?" There was a dark danger in his tone. Something that made me shiver with chills.Those words were a big lie that had spouted out of my mouth in anger, but I couldn't take them back so I nodded hesitantly.He chuckled darkly, the sound devoid of amusement but rich in something sinister. "I'll gladly make your answer to that change." He said tugging my hair to make me look up at him. His mouth descended on mine without warning. His kiss this time was one of seduction. When his mouth moved against mine, it was like something hot and delicious was searing it's way through every fiber of my body. I couldn't resist kissing him back, sucking on his mouth as heatedly as he was on mine. He broke away from the k

ClaireThis was the sweetest sleep I'd had in days. I stirred awake with a smile on my lips. Strong arms around my waist pulled me deeper into his chest, his warm breath landing on the side of my face as I felt his lips drop a kiss on my cheek. "Be good, stop moving else I won't let you sleep again." I was about to respond when I felt the hard thing poking me from behind, I quickly realized what he meant and laid still, my body still felt sore from last night. I let myself enjoy the nice warmth of being in his arms with a smile on my face feeling his peaceful breathing. He'd fallen asleep so deeply as if it was the first time he was getting any sleep after weeks.I was about to close my eyes and join him, just the feeling of being in his arms felt so peaceful that I was on the verge of falling asleep again when I suddenly remembered something and my eyes snapped open.The sky outside was still dark, but far in the horizon a faint light purplish hue indicating the coming of sunrise

Claire"I... I'm sorry I missed all your calls and texts, I went to meet a friend, had too many drinks and I dozed off at her apartment." The lie came out effortlessly, I'd already practiced this excuse while in the cab. Rodrigo was a very astute person, he could easily detect lies in an instant if I so much as blinked while telling that lie.If I told him about Vincent, apart from the fact that he would certainly research about Vincent's background to find out if he was fit for me or not, he would automatically decide Vincent to be a bad influence. I was already an adult, I could do whatever I wanted, but Rodrigo has always acted like my father, he certainly seemed to forget that I'm all grown up now. He got up and approached me, circling me like a hawk."You passed out after having too much to drink, yet you don't have the faintest smell of alcohol on you." Shit! I should have grabbed a quick glass of whiskey from Vincent's bar area in the hotel suite if I knew Rodrigo would cat

ClaireI nervously waited at the side of the road in front of the Acer's gaming court in the city until I saw Vincent's black SUV driving into the parking lot. A bright smile split on my face and I ran towards his car just in time as he stepped down. "Hello Blue." My heart skipped a beat when he flashed me that dazzling smile as he stepped down. I felt the urge to run into his arms and bury myself in his hug but I held back the urge not knowing if it would make him uncomfortable."Hi." I greeted instead fiddling with my hands. "Actually I..."His finger suddenly stopped my mouth from saying more. "Before anything, don't you think a mere hi is too bland to greet your boyfriend?" I was more than happy to run into his arms and embrace him tightly. I wasn't expecting him to hug me back but he did, and I closed my eyes momentarily at the feel of his powerful arms around me. "Vincent, you know how to play games like bowling don't you?" "Hmm." He replied affirmatively with a hum, tigh

Claire'...so when will you let me meet your brother?' I couldn't stop thinking about what Vincent said. I'd let those words pass after we were interrupted by the others, Vincent didn't ask about it again and I never brought it up because I didn't know what to tell him. Rodrigo wanted to meet him, only to confirm if he loved me and would take care of me, but what I didn't expect was that Vincent would want to meet him too and if they met, Rod would quickly figure out if Vincent has true feelings for me or not.And if he finds out Vincent doesn't love me, he wouldn't approve of me being with him.The next day when Lea and I met for lunch at a restaurant, my mind was lost in thought even as she kept talking."I can't believe that Sean. He kept convincing the guys through the group chat that your boyfriend seems to be hiding something. He thinks Vincent is some sort of drug dealer or something, he even kept telling them that he would expose whatever criminal records Vincent might have

ClaireThe red lights in the ER flickered on and I crumbled to the floor in a weak heap.I could hear Vincent's guards conversing on the phone with a thick Italian tongue. Everything happened in a rapid blur around me, my heartbeat was unbearably loud in my ears, so loud that I began to form words with them.'This will kill him, he was shot in the heart.''Vincent is going to die!''Vincent is going to die!'Fear struck me like a lightning bolt and more tears streamed down my face. I rapidly shook my head against the unbearable words forming in my mind."No, he's not going to die. Nothing will happen to him. He's going to live and I'll stay by his side, I'll always stay by his side." The thought of losing him clenched my heart with an unbearable pain, I couldn't harbor that thought for longer than the few seconds it had surfaced in my head so I chose a mindless optimism.Wiping my tears I composed myself, stood on my feet and began to pace.The memory of blood pooled around Vincent g

ClaireNatalia's words had sounded like a bluff to my ears so I ignored her.I stayed by Vincent's side religiously. Rodrigo was exhausted from having donated blood, I had to take him home and explain to him what happened."Your boyfriend suddenly got shot on the road and you were there?" He suddenly exclaimed with a startled expression, "Sunshine, that was very dangerous. What if you had gotten shot, what would I have done if you...""Rod, nothing happened to me right? Besides the target was Vincent and not me." A deep frown settled on Rodrigo's face. I couldn't tell what he was thinking. Silence reigned in the car."Rod?" "A man who gets shot randomly on the streets must have many secrets and hidden enemies. He isn't safe for you." "How can you conclude that when you haven't even met him?""Sunshine..."I knew what he was going to say. In Rodrigo's eyes, anything that could cause me harm should be kept far away from me. He was going to voice his verdict of disapproval.Though I w

Leanne. "I know you need to know this, that's why I came here to show you myself."Claire sat across from me in the living room of my apartment, it felt so wonderful to see her again. There was so much I wanted to apologize to her for now that we're together physically, like not being there for her when she gave birth, through the times she needed a friend most. All those words of apology remained stuck in my throat when I looked through what she'd just handed me.It was a full record proving my step father had indeed been into crime, and he hadn't done it alone, my Mom had been a part of it as well. The discovery that my own parents had been lying to me all along was heart wrenching."Claire, it doesn't really matter anymore. I don't need to know all this anymore."Claire nodded in understanding."Regardless, I wanted you to know the truth. And there's one more thing."I looked away from the pile of papers to her face."If it helps...in any way, Rocco wasn't the one who pulled tha

18 Months Later.Rocco"Are you okay? Don't tell me you're still thinking about that girl." Vince sat next to me and I realized I'd spaced out again."What are you talking about?" I chuckled brushing away the topic he brought up.'That girl' he mentioned was someone I didn't want to talk about, not since she disappeared about a year ago, and not since I'd opened up to Vince about her on a drunken haze one night. "Look, it's alright to admit you can't forget about a girl, and it's definitely alright to admit that you're in love with her."That word made me wince, I still feel the sharp stab of the pain it caused in my heart the day I searched for her endlessly but couldn't find her. "Vincent Morano, love is for men like you who decide to open up to it. I've already told you, that love bullshit isn't for me."Vincent shook his head as if he couldn't believe what I'd just said."Then how can you explain your restlessness after that girl disappeared? It's all love Rocco."I rolled my ey

Leanne "Don't you dare try to come up with lies to my face." I spat angrily after what Erik just said made me feel like there was ice running through my veins. Rocco, killed our father? I could never believe that."You gullible little idiot! I knew you were stupid but not this stupid, it seems I overestimated how smart you could be. You're fucking the very man who murdered the man you once called Dad. You're disgusting."I couldn't control it anymore, I raised my hand and slapped him across the face and his head swung to the side."I've had enough of you. Get out!" I yelled pointing at the door. "Fucking bitch!" Erik roared and things happened too fast after that.Erik suddenly pulled a gun out of nowhere pointing it to my chest, I was rooted in my spot in shock when he pulled the trigger."Lea!" Rocco's voice echoed behind me and then the trigger went off.Two bullets were shot successively, one by Erik and the other by Rocco. By the time my shock had subsided I shivered realizing

Rocco"Hello old friend." Erik's face twisted in a wide grin, one that didn't reach his eyes."Erik." I muttered, suppressing the anger at the sight of him in Lea's apartment and pushed him aside striding inside and began looking around for Lea."Is that how to greet a friend you haven't met in years?"My brows furrowed in deep suspicion. "Where is she?" He didn't answer me, only maintained that blasted grin and folded his arms. "Where do you think she is?" He raised a brow tauntingly. I was striding over to him before I could control myself, grabbing him by the collar tightly."Don't fucking mess with me, I know what you're fucking up to and if you hurt a single hair on her head I swear...""Rocco?" Lea walked out of her bedroom staring at me with a confused look in her eyes."What's going on here?" She asked but instead of answering I hurried to her and began surveying her body for any signs of injuries, when I found none relief wafted into me. "I told you this would happen did
The Mafia's Obsession; Love Me, Love Me Not Chapter 77 - A Date?
Leanne I woke up on something as hard as a rock, when I shifted the rock beneath me shifted as well and arms circled my waist, a soft kiss on the top of my head. I couldn't stop a warm smile from lifting my face. "Morning." A richly deep voice sounded above me, I raised my head to meet a handsome face with dark tousled hair and super dark eyes smiling down at me."Morning." I replied and he held me tighter. "Is this the part where I make you breakfast in bed? You'd have to excuse my awful cooking skills though, I should have taken some lessons from Vince." His words made me giggle but before I could reply his phone started ringing. He fished it out of the jacket pocket thrown to the floor and began to talk to someone in Italian, I moved to get off his body but he held me still shaking his head as an indication for me not to leave so I continued to lay on his chest.When the call was over he dropped the phone aside, silently staring at me as he played with a strand of my hair. "Wh
The Mafia's Obsession; Love Me, Love Me Not Chapter 76 - How Does It Feel?
Leanne I'd been thinking about him a lot since I returned, it felt weird. I used to assume that coming back to my apartment would remind me of Carl, even though I'd been insisting on leaving, I dreaded actually coming back, but the moment I did, only Rocco remained on my mind.I did a lot to distract myself, like rearranging the settings of my apartment and changing things up. I'd finished cleaning up the apartment and everything looked perfect when my doorbell rang, I didn't expect to see the person who has been on my mind, and I certainly didn't expect the first thing he would do was to kiss me.I was stunned in place, shocked and enchanted by his sudden kiss. His mouth tangled with mine in a sensual dance, dominating in a ravenous way till I felt the familiar warmth of arousal trickle between my thighs. I quickly came back to my senses and pushed him away."I told you never to kiss me like that again!" I yelled heaving for breath, my blood still pounding in my ears. "Sorry." He s

Rocco"I promised to take you home, but not this fast." I replied feeling a slight disappointment at the fact that she actually asked to go home this soon. "Please, I can't live like this anymore. I used to have my routine and everything used to work well for me, I just...I don't want to stay here anymore. Let me go." I frowned deeply remembering the very reason I'd brought her here in the first place. "Didn't you hear what I said? You're not going home yet." "Why are you so focused on keeping me here? Why do you keep doing things that make me..." "That make you what?" I challenged with a raised brow.She sighed and said, "If you keep forcing me to stay here against my will, I might just hate you even more than I already do." Her face held a deep kind of seriousness that caught me off guard. The little lake of disappointment expanded greatly inside me.She hates me!Those words created a whirlwind inside my head."You want to leave so badly? Then go! Don't even stay here for a si

RoccoAn addiction was something that would consume your mind in whole till you had absolutely nothing else to think about, nothing else to want to engage in, but that, and Leanne Devin was my new addiction.That night I laid in bed, I could picture every second of it like a movie playing on repeat in my mind. It was absolutely fascinating. Every small whimper that got buried against my mouth as I kissed her, how her fingers curled against my shirt, and how hesitantly she kissed me back. I replayed all of it till I drifted off to sleep. When I went down for breakfast that morning with the hopes of seeing her, she wasn't at the breakfast table."Kennedy, get Lea down here." I instructed after taking my seat.Something told me her face would go all red the minute she sees me. My lips raised in anticipation of that, I had a few lines to tease her with when I noticed Kennedy hadn't moved from his position even after I gave my instruction."Why are you still standing there?""Lea isn't i

RoccoLeanne wiggled her foot to try to get the crab off. "Ah! It's not letting go!" Her eyes were red rimmed and she bit her lips to hold in the pain."Hey hey, calm down. Don't move okay? I'll get it off." I looked into her eyes and assured her till she nodded before I bent to have a look at her toe where the crab still held on. If moved rashly it could cause an irreparable damage so I slowly pulled it off her and flung it back into the water.She sucked in a breath in pain and I couldn't help but let out a low chuckle at the expression on her face. "Who would have thought it'd take a crab to make you look so frightened." I muttered reeling in the feeling of amusement."Tsk, why shouldn't I be scared when I thought it would cut off my toe. It hurts and you're laughing?" "Don't worry, luckily the crab didn't feel too threatened. It's only going to hurt for a while." Bending down I lifted her in my arms and carried her away.Kennedy followed behind and called awkwardly."Uhm...are
