ANTONIOThe doctor showed his reluctance to let us leave, especially for me with his proclamations that I could get an infection if I didn't get the proper treatment. And I was ready to ignore him and Ephraim but Erica was the one who made it impossible to gather her in my arms, bundle her up and go straight to the castle where I could hide her. Even though I knew she was doing it for me but when she insisted that we stay in the hospital for another day under doctor’s observation I couldn’t say no to her. And especially when she was glued to my side, looking at me with those shining stars in her eyes and the desire that I have never really seen in her eyes before. It was like putting my life on the line for her opened something inside her and it wasn’t just that, her realisation that I could get hurt too, her fear for me made my chest warm and the change it brought in the way she looked at me and touched me was something for which I’d take more bullets for her. Her worry for me was l
ANTONIOI laid her down on the bed, ignoring the sharp pain that shot down my back. It was the first time I got hit. I got shot at many times in the past but my men always protected me and I never left myself vulnerable enough to let the enemy have the upper hand but this time I was the one doing the protecting. And as I looked down at her, the way she was still gripping my arm, I didn’t even regret it.I freed my hand, pressed a soft kiss on the corner of her lips and pulled the covers over her. We were back in the castle after spending another day at the hotel and I had many things to focus on no matter how much I wanted to spend another day and another night wrapped up in her, deep inside her pûssy filling it with my come. When I walked around the bed, my eyes caught a moving shadow near the head of the bed. I paused and scowled at the unwanted little ruffian. I took a step closer to the dog and he let out a low growl. I exhaled out an irritated sigh and glared at the culprit. “Fû
ERICAMy life seemed to have turned into a fairytale in a blink of an eye. I was living in a castle like I was the Queen of it with the King of the said castle fûcking me every night like he couldn’t get enough. Obsessed. Then there were Mario and Ephraim, who were like the best ever support characters the King and Queen could get. And the guards, his men nodding their heads down whenever I walk by, without meeting my eyes like their life depended on it. And I guess it did as my eyes flitted to Elijah who had one of his hand in a cast and a face which was a map of bruises. No matter how much I tried to remember, I couldn’t remember everything of that night and what I did wasn’t enough to make sense. The only clear memories were of me with my friends in the rooftop bar. I even remembered that I was exchanging texts with Ami before my phone got lost. I knew everyone back at home must be worried when I suddenly stopped texting, today marked the fifth day, and I should probably ask Anton
ERICA"Let’s play poker, then I’ll see how much you guys win.”They took it as a challenge and then Saze brought out a new deck of cards, this one familiar and already my fingers tingled with upcoming victory. I wasn’t proud of it but I had won almost everyone back at college against the frat boys and in exchange I’ll get the stuff they were using and some. But right now the only high I was seeking was to show them that I was unbeatable. It was oddly funny how Antonio had managed to silence every dark thought inside me and all my mind now could think of was him.And as we started to play and like I knew, I won. Again and again. And again. Was I very honest, though? No, I cheated. I knew how to without getting caught. “I think you are cheating…” Saze said with a thoughtful expression on his face.“You think I’m cheating?” I asked with my hand on my chest.Gio slapped the back of his head and replied, “Of course not,” Turning to his friend, he added, “Don’t be a sore loser, Cody.”I bi
ANTONIO The pain was getting too much and I didn’t know if it was the healing gunshot or my past that was hovering over me like a black cloud or if it was the thought of Erica getting kidnapped and worse dead which made me so out of control. My hands were bloody, my knuckles raw and my shirt bore the witness for the death of the man I had killed. And I knew, that among other things it was his words that had set me on edge. “I would’ve fucked her raw. At least I’d have known what eighty millions of pussy felt like. And what do you know, he was going to give all of us a free access to her once she served her purpose to him.” I hadn’t given him a simple and easy death. No. A slice of knife to his throat and a gunshot would’ve been an easier death for him after how he insulted my little devil. She was mine. And even the thought of her getting hurt wasn’t tolerable. But even as I had beaten him to pulp, painted the walls of the warehouse with his blood and then proceeded with breaking eve
ERICA The wait was excruciating with my skin buzzing and sight compromised. But I could hear the shower going on in the bathroom and more than that I heard the silence when the shower eventually stopped. And as I anticipated his return, the anticipation turned out to be something I wasn’t prepared for, the wait left me feeling adrift and lost. I didn’t know how much time passed but I knew one thing that with each waiting moment my desire for him increased and I was about to give up and call out his name but before I could I felt him. He was close, the fresh scent of him, just out of shower, enticed me and I unknowingly arched up on the bed. The soft exhale of his breath didn’t escape me as my hearing was sensitive with my eyes closed and I knew that he noticed the slight movement of my body. “Did I make you wait for long, my little devil?” I nodded. “Too much.” He chuckled, the soft sound prickling my skin. The mattress dipped near my waist as he sat down. Then a moment later, I g
ERICAI kissed him back just as hungrily as he kissed me, I had decided to stop holding back especially when he was showing me the side of him that I could’ve never expected, that too something so intense directed at me. I never imagined, much less ever hoped to be the centre of someone’s obsession but looking into his eyes I feel like one.Gasping for breath, I wrenched my mouth away from his and on my knees, I moved toward him, pushing him back until I straddled him. “Antonio...” “Yes,” He murmured, kissing the side of my throat, my pulse point and the curve of my shoulder.I wrapped my arms around him as I pulled myself up until his côck was cradled between my thighs, rubbing against my pussy. “I need you inside me.” “Take me, Il mio piccolo diavolo.” His thick voice rolled through me like a heated caress as I inched up and he notched the thick head of his côck at my opening. With a low moan I slid down on his length, my sensitive walls clenching around him. The thick groan that
ERICAI replaced the wet towel with another cold one and caressed his wet hair back from his forehead. “Please, be okay.” I whispered as I leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to his clammy cheek.It had been two hours since Antonio locked me in the closet and when I had peeked out he was standing on the bedroom door like a guard. I had called Ephraim from his phone and he had sent Mario upstairs who had managed to talk Antonio to go back to bed with a promise that he’d look after Caterina.Mario had somehow calmed him down enough that he had gone into a fitful sleep and even when I could’ve come out anytime from that closet, I didn’t. I was busy crying and feeling helpless as I sat there and watched Mario and Antonio interacting with each other. Antonio had sounded like a boy who wanted someone to protect him but from his words I realised that he was the one doing the protecting even when he had been just a kid himself.It was only when Antonio was half asleep and Mario had knocked on
