Danielle As the doors slide open, I stare in awe at the big entry vested in white marble floors and grey brick walls, ending in a spacious living room with large windows opening to a stunning view of the sea. “Do you like it?” I’m met with Domenico’s grinning face as he lowers himself slightly to get between me and the view. God, it‘s so breathtaking that I automatically walked to the windows without even noticing it. “It’s stunning.” I smile, nodding, making him laugh. It’s a clear laugh, melodic and gorgeously deep, and yet I can't point out why it sounds awfully off to me. My eyes move to find Giovanni automatically, who is frowning at me from the other side of the room. I try to give him a look that probably just a girlfriend of mine could read, and damn it, he is still standing there useless, frowning. “Well, let me show you the rest of the rooms, beautiful.” Domenico holds his arm out to me and I take it not wanting to be impolite. Feeling absolutely uncomfortable at hi
DanielleMy jaw must have shattered on the floor because I can’t believe all of this. “Oh my God!” I whisper as I take the console out of his hand. “What?” He chuckles as he asks me. “We never had that talk in your car, right?” I continue to whisper in astonishment, letting my eyes wander around the room. “You held and killed me in some field. I’m dead! And that is my paradisal vision.” He shakes his head as he sets his character. Toad, by the way. “You are crazy.” I laugh as I turn to choose my character, still clinging to my unicorn. “I take the Princess.” He laughs as he mocks me, “Who would have ever thought?” I totally blend out this horrible evening as I race my crush in the form of a little mushroom-headed figure.Starting the second game, I let go of my plush toy, committed to winning the next race. After what feels like 100 more games, Giovanni gets up to look for another game. “Oh, come on! Just because I was kicking your ass,” I shout, teasing him. “You wish! Yo
Danielle My heartbeat skyrockets and I’m just about to face him as I get scared my living daylights out of me as my player gets jumped by some mutated creature. “No. No. No!” I screech while Giovanni laughs, telling me to shoot him. “I told you! Now look at this. Did you save it?” I moan, and he laughs, shaking his head. “I don’t think it got saved. We’ll have to start all over again,” he answers mockingly. I groan and reach to take a sip of my champagne. “This is the worst. Aren’t you scared of those things? I never saw you flinch once.” He laughs as he drinks from his glass emptying it and taking the bottle out of the ice. “Nah, it’s just a game. But there is something that scares me at the moment.” I look at him surprised as he hums and adds, “Maybe scared is the wrong word. More preoccupied.” “What is it?” I ask worriedly, turning to face him. Clicking his tongue, he takes a big swing directly from the bottle before he offers it to me. “That I’m about to go to prison.” I
Danielle As we stare at each other, I move closer slowly, pressing my lips on his. The moment we are connected, I feel fireworks erupting in my body. He takes control of the kiss immediately, driving his hand into my hair to hold me closer as he devours me hungrily. As our lips dance against each other, his tongue flicks against mine, making me part them for him. I’m still drowning in my lust-filled haze at the awesome feeling his kiss ignites in me that I barely notice him lift me up to move to the small Ferrari bed. He puts me down awkwardly, and I giggle as he courses, murmuring something like “Picked the wrong room, damn it.”The most gorgeous smile stretches on his face at my reaction and by putting his fingers under the waistband of my panties, he pulls them down slowly. He gets on top of me, parting my legs with his. Putting his hand between my breasts, he starts moving it down to reach my pussy, my chest heaving in anticipation. As his fingers get between my wet folds,
Danielle The expression that builds on his face is breaking my heart. I know how much he adores my father and would worship the ground he walks on if he could. Taking a deep breath, I brace myself for an upcoming storm. “I haven’t seen or talked to my father in years.” “When was the last time you saw him?” he asks, my heart getting another crack. Why can’t he never let me enjoy the night he grants me all hundred and somewhat years? I shrug, trying to act as if I wasn’t absolutely heartbroken. “When I was 15, maybe 16.” His eyes widen as he stares at me incredulously. “That was 10 years ago, Danielle.” His eyes darken and his tone gets dangerously calm, “Why?” I shrug again, feeling like an idiot. “I was busy, I guess?” “Busy to see your father serving a life sentence? You have to be kidding me.” He sits up about to stand up, and I grab his arm to keep him from distancing himself even more from me. My heart disintegrates itself at the thought of him getting away from me aga
Danielle He kills the engine and turns to face me. Feeling confined in this narrow space, I take a deep breath before I start to talk. “My mother, my brother and I went to visitation twice or three times a week. At fifteen you have these stupid moods, so once I didn’t go with them, because, I don’t know…“ I lift my hands to let them slump back into my lap. “I think I just went shopping with Loredana and Angelica. My mom got very angry, but she and Giulio went alone and as they came back, she told me that my father was heartbroken that I had missed the invitation. So, she had to go on and tell him the truth.” I move my hand up to catch a tear, falling silent again, as I don’t want to start sobbing in front of him. “What truth?” Giovanni asks calmly, and I shrug, pushing out a deep breath before I continue speaking. “She had told him that I was angry and that I was disappointed in him. That I never wanted to see him again because I didn’t want to do anything with him, the family or
Giovanni I should feel on top of the mountain, yet something just doesn’t sit right. My inner voice is screaming at me to get back to Danielle as soon as possible. I brush it off, straighten my spine and wait patiently as a guard inspects me suspiciously before shouting to his colleague behind another barred door. An alarm resounds, and I’m let through another barred door, reaching a small fenced room with some tables and chairs. The warder puffs his chest. “20 minutes, guys. Don’t get too nasty.” He chuckles as the alarm blares again and he is let out of the room. I take my seat in one of the plastic chairs and look up as a middle-aged man gets escorted into the room by another guard. As soon as he has been freed from his handcuffs, he turns at me with a bright smile and I get up to hug him. “Giovanni, how are you doing, my son?” I nod smiling, looking into the dark eyes she clearly got from him. “I'm fine, Alberto. I should be asking you.” We take a seat as he gestures to
Giovanni “Giovanni, do you know what time it is?”“No, I didn’t check, sorry. I just got home a few minutes ago.”She hums and I hear something click.“It’s 2 a.m.! You need a new job if you are going to call me after your shift.”I chuckle, “My bed is big and really comfortable, Danielle. You can try it all you want, then I wouldn't have to call you anymore.”She giggles cutely. “You are crazy.”I hum, smiling. “Why? Wouldn‘t you like to get woken up by me returning from work, and fumbling you under the bedsheets?”I can hear her breathing skip before she ignores my advances totally. “Don’t tell me you called me because you miss me.”“No, I forgot to tell you. Loredana probably won’t ask you for it, but she usually gets a fee from her girls. I just wanted to tell you that I’ll cover any fee she would need from you. So, don’t give her any money.”“No, Gio! I can’t accept it. You gave me too much money already. It’s just fair that I pay for it.”“Thank you for your concern, but I’ve m
