Chapter 54

Nico

I am speechless, being with Lucky was fucking amazing. She rendered my heart and something weird happened to me. I felt exhilarated, connected and had an overwhelming desire to make her mine and mine alone. I do not want any other man to ever touch her and the just the mere thought of anyone having done so makes my blood boil, my gut churn and feel jealous.

Me, jealous? Never before but with Lucky it has changed. God help me. This was only ever supposed to be an arrangement and now I am feeling totally connected to this woman.

I roll myself off her and remove the condom. “You felt amazing, Princess.” She lays on her back, that gorgeous long, dark hair of hers splayed everywhere looking completely tousled. “And you look so sexy after a good fucking.”

“That’s because you have that post orgasm thing going on, you’d say anything nice to me right now.”

That makes me chuckle. “Not true, Princess. I felt a connection.” She looks over at me her green eyes shining so bright, her face is flushed she looks so damn beautiful right now that she is stealing my breath away.

“Not so true, Lucky. I don’t usually have any attachment with women once I’ve slept with them.”

“So, what are you saying, Nico?” She pulls the duvet over her and bundles her hair on top of her head, there is so much of it.

“I don’t know, Princess but it felt different. Thinking about you with other men makes me seethe inside, I want to kill them all.”

She laughs and chuckles, “so domineering, so possessive. You know it’s natural we have had sex partners in the past. I never professed to be a nun.”

I lean over and kiss her head, it’s intimate. I never do this after sex. Hell, I get rid of my women straight after or I get myself ready and leave them without so much as a glance backward. They know the score. But with Lucky it is different, and I can’t quite place how I feel other than utterly confused.

“Do you want a towel or anything? Did I make you sore, Petal?”

“No but you sure as hell claimed me, Santangelo. It was okay.” She says with a smirk on her face.

“Okay? Are you kidding me? It was the hottest sex I’ve ever had.” I am not shy at coming forward and maybe she needs to know that the gears within me have shifted. Not that I think this is a good thing, Lucky will be my downfall. Having emotional attachment is not good in my line of work. It’s bad enough having parents and siblings that I love and care about, constantly I worry for their lives. A Don like me has to keep looking over their shoulders at all time.

Even now with protection all around the safe house, I have a guard outside the door. I sigh.

“Big sigh.”

“Nothing to worry about, Princess.”

I get up, I need to remove the condom that I almost forgot to put on and dispose of it and fetch her a warm cloth. I know I must have hurt her, I can see her wrists are slightly red and sore looking from the cuffs.

“Nice ass,” she comments as I walk butt naked to the adjoining bathroom suite. I wiggle it, she laughs. It sounds like birds on a spring day, it fills me up and now I know that I am in serious trouble. With a capital T.

“I have to make some calls.” I tell her when I get back.

She raises her eyebrows, “now?”

“Yes, get some rest. I have business to deal with.”

“Nico it’s the middle of the damn night, can’t you sleep for once? You look tired.” Is that some mild concern I detect in her voice? I don’t know why but it actually makes me feel good, to know that she could possibly care.

“Don’t we need to discuss what just happened?” Her voice is low as she plays with a loose strand of hair. I am still naked but pulling on my boxer shorts. I stand and look at her before leaning over towards her and kissing the tip of her cute nose.

“Nothing to talk about, Lucky. We had sex, it was mind blowing. You are gorgeous, a stunning woman and one that knows exactly what she wants in bed.”

“Point is Nico, this is an arrangement we weren’t supposed to tumble into bed.”

“No, you think you didn’t want to stumble into bed with me, but we can’t help we are attracted to each other, Lucky. It’s the way of the world. It happens.”

“Not to me, besides I don’t even like you Nico. I loathe you.” She looks defiant and petulant. It makes me throw my head back and laugh. I swear to God, I could take her again right now. She makes me feel insatiable, I can see the top of her breasts where the sheet is just low enough not to cover them completely.

“You will come to love me Lucky, trust me. We have a connection. We are bonded now, there is no going back.”

She grunts then snorts; it makes me laugh harder. “I doubt that. Sex is just sex Nico.”

“Tell me you didn’t feel anything, Princess. Tell me and I will leave and make arrangements to sleep in another suite. We will marry and have nothing intimate between us.”

I watch as she bites her plumb bottom lip. Her eyes cast down. Ha, I knew she felt something to. I grab a T-shirt from one of the drawers in the mahogany, antique drawers she still says nothing. I pull it over my head.

“I don’t know, maybe it’s best you sleep somewhere else in the house. Once we have this marriage out of the way then you will be King of the streets. We can get divorced not long after that should give you what you want.” Her voice is cold now, she is giving me whiplash.

Divorce? We haven’t even gotten married yet. “It won’t work like that, Lucky. You will give me heirs.”

She folds her arms in front of her chest. I know she is battling with herself right now. I can see it in her eyes that won’t meet mine. The woman felt it I know she did. We soared unimaginable heights together, this was not any ordinary fuck. Not by a long stretch.

“Maybe I should make my calls later and show you again what it feels like to have me inside you. You will never sleep with another man again, Lucky. You will always be mine.”

She blushes. I like it. “Do you want that, Princess? Do you want to feel me inside you again, so you know what you felt was real?”

There is silence whilst I hold my breath. The last thing I want is to be in a different suite, I want to fall asleep with her snuggled into my body, I want to wake up to a fresh new day with her against me, her softness and warmth close to me.

My heart is on the line here, damn this is new to me and even I don’t know what to do about it. It’s her call, whatever she wants I will abide with and since when do I give a fuck about what a woman wants? Only, Lucky Gianluca has gotten right under my skin. I am hers now. I have consummated our relationship, and my head and my heart both know there is no going back from this now.

“I don’t know what I want, Nico to be honest. Just go make your calls, I will take a warm bath and get back into bed and fall asleep.”

I nod and grab a pair of black sweatpants and pull them up. “Let me run the bath for you, Princess. Do you want anything to eat?”

“No, I’m good thanks.” I go to the large sunken bath and open the taps and listen to the water running. I add some fragranced foam to it, that I had my assistant buy. I have no idea about women’s bath habits, but she told me it was the best money could buy. The bubbles begin, I check the temperature and wonder how I went from disliking the woman in my bed to now having these strong feelings for her.

I turn the taps off and go to the bedroom, she is laying with her head back and her eyes open. “Don’t think too hard about it, Lucky. It will be fine. It’s okay to let your guard down.”

“I never let my guard down, Nico.” Her voice is very low, I can tell she is scared of what she might be feeling. Hell, I know I am. This is new territory for me, and I haven’t got a fucking clue what the hell is going on with me right now.

I take the sheet and move it away from her body exposing her nakedness. My cock instantly twitches. “You are so fucking beautiful, Princess. I could lose myself in you forever.” Easily I slide my arm under her back around her waist and my other hooking under legs, then I lift her up as if she is porcelain.”

Her arms sling around my neck and I can smell our sex on her and her musky fragrance as I gently carry her to the tub. Slowly I ease her in.

“God, it feels heavenly,” she lets out a sigh.

“Enjoy, Princess. I’m sorry to leave you but I have to make these calls.” I don’t tell her it is to with the shooter nor that I will be speaking with Aurora. Tony tells me she has some information that I might find of interest.

I kiss the top of Lucky’s head; she doesn’t push me away. As I leave my room my guard steps aside. He goes to move to follow behind me. “Stay, Lucky is still inside. I want protection around her 24/7.”

“Yes, Sir.” I go to move then stop.

“Make that double protection. I don’t want anything happening to her and make sure she doesn’t give anyone the slip. Oh, and if she needs anything make sure she has it.” He nods and places himself back center of the door with his weapon across his chest.

The thought of anyone trying to get Lucky to get at me makes me bristle and my heart race. Fuck, I’m in trouble here and there’s no going back now.

Downstairs, Kratos gets up and comes towards me.  I stroke his large head. “Hey, boy. C’mon let’s go.” He follows me, my hand on his head as we walk to my office. He lays in front of the desk as I sit behind hit and take my mobile out of my pocket.

Two rings later and I hear Aurora’s direct voice on the line. “What have you got for me?”

I wait for her to respond, “I have a name, Nico.”
