Isadora's POV As I prepare in the bathroom, butterflies run amuck in my stomach. I've never been to a ball before. What do l do? How do l act? So many questions and never enough answers. I finish and walk out to see Rafael in a navy blue tux. His hair slicked back and his tattoos peaking on the skin he does have visible damn he looks god. When he sees me his jaw drops. He doesn't move nor speak .. he just stands there, scanning me over and over as if to determine whether I'm real or not. "Madre de dios." (Mother of God) He mutters to himself but I hear him and giggle. I slowly approach him and he pulls me lightly to his chest, putting his forehead on mine. "Damnit kitten. Why are you doing this to me?" I raise my eyebrows. "And what exactly am I doing to you"! I ask. He sighs and grawls deeply. "'M trying very hard to restrain myself from pinning you to a wall and fucking you till your legs don't work," He whispers through gritted teeth in my ear. I let out a soft b
Isadora's POV It's been hours, No one has said a single word since the nurse left. Not that there was anything to say in the first place. Rafael was in a trance like state. He hasn't moved from staring at his blood covered hands. I get up and grab his arm which seems to jolt him out of his trance and he looks up at me. His eyes were red and puffy. His hands were stained with blood but it wasn't just Mirella's. A few minutes after the nurse left, Rafael beat his hands bloody on the walls. It took all his brothers, Emiliano and two securily guards to restrain him. When he finally calmed down, he went into a catatonic state the rest of the time. "Come with ne baby." I say gently. He didn't say anything, He just got up and let me guide him into the bathroom. I ran the water and put his hands underneath. Gently nursing his torn up knuckles. Suddenly he jerks his hands away and yanks me close to his chest. Crying as he burried his face into my neck. "I'm here baby. I'm here
Isadora's POV -The Silver Paw-Ever since the ball, he's more clingy than he was before he won't allow me go anywhere without him. 'Stay where I can see you kitten' He's way more protective now. I decided to go back to work while we wait for Mirella to wake up. The boys came back to the club and did .. well whatever they usually do. Rafael agreed to let me work, even though l know he didn't want me to. He just sits in his lounge chair and watches me. Occasianally walking the floor, finding me and pulling me into a dark corner to make out like horny teenagers. He'll tell me he loves me, pat me on the ass and say get back to work kitten. "After our aggressive fuck session, he's more gentler than ever. Not gonna lie. I kinda liked the rough sex. Maybe not hale-fucking but he can throw me around and choke me a bit. He promised he would never do that again unless I asked."How's Mirella?" Startled. I turn around and slap the ever living fuck out of Josie. I was so lost in thought, it too
Isadora's POV With Mirella asleep on my shoulder we walk in the house and the air is tense. Everyone was crowed in the kitchen. Emiliano looks at me with a stern face. "Please put her to bed and come back when you're done." He says. I nod and take her upstairs. When I get back to the kitchen. Rafael stands behind me and puts his arms around my waist. "Okay, as far as we know. Rodrigo is hiding out in one of his fathers safe houses in Brazil. Since there is no extradidion there .. we can't, from a legal stand point, go and arrest him. Which is why we need to catch him ourselves, Off the books," Jacob says, eyeing everyone. "Jacob and his team will be on standby if we need them." Emiliano adds. "Not juining the fight old timer?" Alfunzo snickers. "My fighting days are done kid, but I can still pull a trigger," Jacob glares at him. "Buuuurn!" Ishmael shouts and smacks Alfonzo on the arm. Alfonzo retaliates and hits Ishmael hard in the chest, "Ow! You hit ny nipple br
Isadora's POVIt's Josie Birthday and I'm planning on surprising the shit out of her. Josie is not a fan of her birthday, but she is a fan of hot men and sexy girls. In all the years I've known her, she has never once let me throw her a party. Not even a small gathering. So I told Rafael, if he helped me throw her a badass birthday party, he could get his privileges of touching and kissing me back. Oh yes I was serious about that. Its been days since he last touched or kissed me and he's going through withdrawal. Technically I am too but i can handle it. He snaps at everyone except for Mirella. He could never loose his cool with her. Even on his most irritating days. He did everything I asked of him, so I guess I can let him off the hook. Right now, him and his brothers are at The Silver Paw double checking everything before they call it done. As for my final act of punishment for him, I'm gonna wear something to make him drool.Not Only do l pull off the color red, but
Isadora's POVBrazilIt's beautiful here. The colors are so vibrant and the scenery is unbelievable. Rafael grabs my bags and his too, carrying them like weighed nothing. Almost like it was a workout for him. Gabriella and Mirella stayed back at the mansion. Gabriella insisted on coming but Rafael told her Mirella wasn't going and that was the last time she argued with him. "My team and I will go to the safe house and do some recon. For now, everyone can relax until we get back." Jacob says and we all nod. Him and his team get into their black SUV's and drive off. I feel a kiss on the back of my head and turn around. "I'l take our bags to our room. When I finish unpacking, I'm taking you to the beach." Rafael winked at me and walked off. Before we went to the beach, Cass and Josie took me shopping again. I didn't have a bathing suit and Josie wanted a new one. Of course, she made me get the one that would be a jaw dropping, drooling factor for you know who.Once we reach
Isadora's POVI wake up to Rafael pacing back and forth talking on the phone. "Okay, well we'll be there in ten." He says and hangs up. He noticed me and Smiles "Morning baby." "Who was that?"" Jacoh. He got back last night and has a plan. He wants everyone at his hotel to go Over the details before we do this."I nod and groan as I get out of the bed. My muscles are sore. I feel like I've been hit by a car. "Moving a little slow there baby?" He chuckles."This is your fault" He walks over to me and kisses my forehead before lightly patting my ass, just enough to make my entire body ache. I almost collapse."You'd learn not to tease me evenually." --Jacob's Hotel-- Jacob layed the blueprints out on the table, with circles drawn in certain places."Okay, currently the situation is in our favor. He only has fifty men guarding the entire perimeter. Alfonzo, Ishmael and some of my team will take west point. Javier, Enrico and more of my team will take eas
Isadora's POV My head feels heavy. I slowly open my eyes and I notice I'm in a hospital bed. what the hell? what happened? I look to my left and see Rafael asleep in the chair next to he bed. His hair is messy and his eyes have bags under them."Rafeal?" I manage a low raspy whisper. He shoots up from the chair and looks at me."Isadora !?" He yells, grabbing me and hugging me light."Baby I can't breathe." He losens his grip and kisses me. "I missed you so much kitten." He was on the verge of tears. "You are never doing something like that again. You hear me?" "What happened? Did we get him?" He shook his head. "You got him to confess but the moment he said he was going to kill you, I snapped. You were hurt really bad. You have a couple broken ribs and a dislocated hip. Your body couldn't handle the trauma you went through and you slipped into a cona. You've been out for a couple weeks." Suddenly a nurse walks in and gasps. "Oh good, you're awake!'There are some people here
Rafael's POVI can't believe it. She's here, in my arms. My butterfly. I look down at her and see her eyes open. She smiles at me and my heart melts. She has her mother's eyes. I could get lost in them and wouldn't care if I found my way back or not. She had me wrapped around her finger before she was born and now that she's here, T'm a mess. She could as for anything and I would give it to her in a heartbeat. I can be cold, sadistic and down right evil sometimes but this little girl craddled in my arms turns me into a pile of play dough she can mold to her liking .. and I would let her without a second thought. "My little butterfly" I coo at her and she smiles a toothless grin at me. "You're beautiful, just like your mommy, you know that?" I kiss her nose and her little giggle makes my knees weak. she lets out a little yawn and I couldn't help but laugh. "Do you want daddy to sing to you? Granted, daddy can't sing but I would do anything for you little one:" She yawns
SIX MONTHS LATERWedding Day Isadora's POVI woke up to Rafael smiling like a goofball. He peppered my face with kisses then did the same to my belly. I feel Aurelia kick in the right spot and wince, sucking my teeth. "Ugh, you just had to wake her up." I shook my head. "Sorry baby but you do know what today is right?" Hmm lets mess with him a little bit. "A normal Saturday?" His grin turned into a frown and he glared at me. "Don't play with me like that kiten. You may be pregnant but that will not stop me from spanking that ass of yours until its glowing red. Would you like to have a bright red ass ahowing through your dress as you walk down the isle?" He smirked. "I was just teasing you." I said and he kissed me. "You're gonna wish you hadn't done that kitten. You know how I feel about you teasing me." He whispered into my neck as he lightly kissed over my weak spots he knew would make me moan and shiver. He pulled away and Isigh in frustration, rollin
TWO MONTHS LATER Isadora's POVJosie and I decided to clean out the baby's room so we could get ready to paint it as soon as we know. Rafael is dead set on us having a girl. Don't get me wrong, I don't care what the gender is, as long as he or she is healthy. "So how's things going with Cass?" I asked picking up a box of stuffed animals. "Weird." She replied putting a box down and picking up another. "Weird how?" "I don't know. I really really like him, he's sweet, attentive, he takes care of me and he's a freaking god in bed but, I miss sleeping with Nessa too. She made me feel things only a woman can. Like a girl to girl level of connection." She sighed. "Have you tried talking to him about an open relationship? He could date the both of you or you could date the both of them. Either way, knowing Cass, he's up for trying new things." I smiled. she looks down. "Im scared to bring it up. I don't want him to think he's not enough for me. He absolutely
Isadora's POV I ran all over the house looking for the boys. I finally get to the gym and see them all working out. "Whoa Isa! What's wrong?" Alie asked putting down his weights. "Gear up! Rodrigo's men took Josie and shot Cass!" I screamed with what little breath I had left. They all just nod and walk out. I go to the kitchen and see Gabriella and Nessa yelling at Cass while they stitch his arm. "Why are you not at a hospital" "I hate hospitals. I dont need to go for just being shot in the arm." Cass said wincing when Gabriella smacks the back of his head. "You're lucky I know how to stitch a wound or you would have bled out by now." She glared at him. I see Emiliano, Rafael and the boys all stocking their guns and ammo. Iwalk over to Ratael and turn him to face me. "I need a vest." "You're not going." He said turning back around and continued loading his gun. "Yes I am." "No, you're not." He growled."That is my best friend who is in this shit because of me! If
Isadora POV *BOOM * "bitch! It's wedding planning time!" Josie kicked open the door and yelled. I'm going to kill my best friend. I glance at the clock 7 AM yep, gonna kill her. I wake up yet again with Rafael's face firmly planted in my ass. Why? Why does he like doing that? He groans and blindly grabs his pillow, chucking it at Josie. It completely misses her and hits the wall, falling to the floor."Get the fuck out Josie, or I will shoot you." Rafael groans making me giggle. "Um why is his face in your ass?" She asked looking almost mortified. "I don't know. I woke up once before with him like this." I said giggling. She scrunched her face."We'll be waiting for you downstairs lovebirds", she yelled as she walked out-Few Minutes Later- I walk downstairs and see Esme, Gabriella, Josie and Nessa all talking. "Finally!" Josie huffs. "You look beautiful darling." Esme greets me. "Thank you Esme. You look beautiful too." She smiled and kissed my cheek. "How's Leo?" I
--Next Day--Ever since I sked him, he's been avoiding me. Not physically. He still holds me, kisses me and occasionally says something naughty but he is avoiding the subject. As Im finishing folding clothes, I feel two big arms wrap around me and two hands rub my stomach. "You okay baby?" He asked. I nod. I stop and turn to face him. "Are you?" I ask. He sighs. He knows exactly what I mean. "I'm afraid to tell you about that part of my life Isa. I was more monster than human back then." I sit him on the bed and took his face in my hands. "Now listen to me and hear me clearly. I don't care what you did or how you acted in the past. You are not that person anymore. Everyone has a past baby. No matter what, I'm staying right here, with you and our baby" I put his hand on my stomach and his breath hitches. I can tell he wants to cry but he doesn't. Rafael POV "I told you that when my brothers and I became of age, my father told us every man is born wi
Isadora's POV"Stop that." I said sharply to Leo while looking over my shoulder. "Stop what?" He grinned."You know what. Stop or I'll beat you with this spatula." I warn him. I finish flipping a pancake and wave the spatula in his face. He looks at Mirella confused."Tell me princess, what did I do? I was just sitting here." He says innocently. He is anything but innocent." You were staring at her. Santi doesnt like it when boys stare at her." She stated. He glared and stuck his tongue out at her, making her giggle. I set a plate of pancakes in front of her."Exactly. Thank you princess." I kiss her head and go back to the stove. He follows. Leaning on the counter top, he got that look on his face. That look that said he wanted to ask me something inappropriate."Whatever it is, the answer is no" I warned him." I didn't say anything." He said nonchalantly. I roll my eyes and stand on my tip toes to reach the cinnamon on the spice rack above the stove. I feel something hard and
Rafael's POV--The Meeting--In my world, it's considered an insult to bust into one's home or establishment and try to steal from them right in front of them. You can get killed for less. Especially of that someone you're stealing from is me. He thinks he can come into my territory and try to take what's MINE !? Wrong. So very wrong. Sitting around the table, everyone is murmuring and talking in hushed tones. I slam my fist on the table making everyone jump and fall silent. "I've let this shit slide for far too long. We fucked up the first time, but that won't happen again. This time he WILL die and it will be fucking flawless." Rafael snarls. "What happened son?" My dad asks. "Rodrigo had his men bust into my club and try to take Isadora right in front of me." "Well that was just fucking stupid." My mom huffs, folding her arms and leaning back in her chair. "A few of my marine buddies are willing to help out again if need be." Johnny adds. I nod. "Call them." He no
Isadora's POV A beautiful silver ring with two red hearts. I was stunned! I noticed an engraving on the inside of the band that read 'Rafael'. "I got this ring for a specific reason. The two hearts represent, my heart and soul which are yours forever. The color red represents the fire you ignite inside me everytime I look at you." He slipped the ring on my finger and lifted me up to his chest. "I asked my father before I got shot, how he knew my mother was the one. He said when he looked at another woman, he felt nothing like what he felt for my mom. She stole his heart and soul and he didn't want them back from her. Well baby, you stole mine and I never want them back. So I put them on a ring where you can always have them with you. Even if I'm not physically there." He smiled. I couldn't hold back the tears and sobbed into his neck. How did I get so lucky? "Use your words kitten."" I love you. I love you so much Rafael! "Igrabbed his face and kissed him hard. He burried
