Chapter 123: Mine To Take

**Damiano**

Someone was in a playful mood.

I took off my shoes to move silently as I listened to movements in the house, but it was quiet. I looked around on the top floor, but she wasn’t there. I made my way downstairs, checking every room before I got to the living room. She was still nowhere to find as I looked around. Just as I was about to move again, I stopped as I looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window. Althaia was on the other side, grinning sheepishly before making a run for it.

I quickly made my way out, loving she wanted me to chase her. She laughed as she ran to the other side of the pool, creating as much distance between us. I tilted my head at her, smirking as I took a step, and saw her take a step in the opposite direction.

“I’m going to catch you.” I said while slowly taking a few steps in her direction.

“We’ll see about that. If you can, you will be rewarded.” She winked, and a particular body part was getting quite excited about the idea.

“Deal.” I then pretended to run towards her, having her yelp out before she laughed and ran as fast as she could, making her way down the stairs and to the garden. Instead of following her that way, I turned around and took a detour to the garden I was sure she hadn’t noticed yet. As I walked on the small path, it led me right to her. She was hiding behind a tree, but her back was facing me while she kept an eye out for where she thought I would be coming.

“Where did he go…?” I heard her ask herself. I smirked as I sneaked up behind her. She squealed when I grabbed her waist and turned her around, pinning her arms above her head.

“Got you, baby.” I whispered to her.

“How … ?” She gasped.

“The Devil’s work.” I winked as I pressed close to her, my thumb running across her plump lips.

“You haven’t won yet.” She dropped down to the ground, releasing her arms from my hold in the process, and made another run for it. I crossed my arms and leaned against the tree, watching her run before stopping and looking over her shoulder.

“I’m giving you a headstart.”

“Ha! I don’t need a headstart! I can totally outrun you.”

“Are you sure?” I tilted my head at her.

“Positive!” We stared at each other for a while before I let out a smirk.

“Run.” I sprinted towards her, watching her eyes become wide.

“Oh, fuck!” She yelled out, laughing as she ran to the other side of the garden. She was fast as I chased her, but not faster than me. I could have caught her the second she turned around to run, but instead, I slowed down. The sound of her laughter filled out the quiet night, and I wanted to hear that sound a bit longer. Her laughter was the sweetest music to me, and it filled my heart to the brim of happiness every single time. Such an innocent laugh of joy was released, and all my worries seemed to ease.

She made my heart whole.

“Getting tired, old man?” Getting out of my daze, I noticed I had slowed down a lot and was just walking fast. Althaia burst out in uncontrollable laughter at her own words. I scoffed at her, coming to a stop.

“Who are you calling an old man?”

“You, obviously. You can’t even catch me. Perhaps take a nap, and see if you can when you wake up.” She snickered, and I shook my head at her in amusement.

“You have it wrong. You know how animals love to play with their prey before killing it? It’s to tire them out, making the kill easier.” Her eyes narrowed, and she put her hands to her hips.

“What are you saying?”

“I’m toying with you before I kill your pussy with my dick, of course. You’re not going to last for much longer.” I gave her a sly grin, and she let out a snort.

“We will see about that!” And then she ran again.

“Oh, we will.” I sprinted after her, quickly closing the distance between us while she tried to get away from me. I grabbed her waist from behind, making her scream out in laughter as I lifted her and held her tightly into me. I put her down to her feet, turned her around, and caged her between my arms against the tree.

“Caught you again.” I said in a low tone. “What’s my reward for catching you?”

“Hmm… what do you want?” I leaned closer to her face.

“You.” She gave me that smile that made me crazy as her eyes went down to my lips. Her face came closer to mine, and her tongue ran across my lip, sending a visible shiver through my body.

“Then take me.” She breathed out, almost in a moan. I grabbed the back of her legs, hoisting her up until she wrapped her legs around me.

“I’m going to take you fucking nice and hard, baby.” I growled out as I made my way inside with her.

Wrapping her arms around me, holding me close to her as she kissed me hungrily, I responded to her immediately. Her soft lips against mine always had me feeling hungry for more. My hands found their way under her nightgown, grunting when I felt she wasn’t wearing any underwear as my hands caressed her hips.

“Fuck, I can’t wait.” I was too impatient and laid her down on the sun bed. My hands explored her body under her nightgown until I pulled it off. I had to take a moment as I watched her under the moonlight.

“So beautiful…” Her whole existence completely hypnotized me. Her eyes were sparkling, the moonlight reflecting in them, making her look like someone who didn’t belong to this world but rather someone from a world of divinity. She never failed to make me feel like this. A feeling I didn’t know how to describe, but she always made me feel warm and full inside and had my heart beat just a little bit faster every time I glanced at her.

A feeling I had only experienced with her.

Althaia smiled shyly at me. She always did whenever I complimented her. She grabbed my shirt and pulled me into her until our lips touched, having me taste her tongue. I couldn’t help but smile a little against her lips as her hands wandered around impatiently.

“Don’t worry. I will give you what you want.” I chuckled when she ripped my shirt open.

“Too slow…” She said as she undressed me and then moved to have me lay on the sunbed as she straddled me.

“Looks like I have to fuck you instead.” She winked.

“I’m all yours, baby.” She grabbed my shirt and started to tie my hands together. I raised a brow at her, but she only smirked. She tied them together, putting them above my head, and tied them to the top of the sunbed.

“Enjoy the show.” Althaia leaned over me, her lips faintly brushing mine before she made her way down with her hands gliding down my body. I exhaled a breath when she wrapped her mouth around my hard length, closing my eyes at the feeling of her soft, wet tongue swirling around.

“Fuck, yeah… That’s it, baby.” I grunted, watching her as she stroked me.

She returned to straddling me, taking a hold of my length, and she let out a moan while slowly lowering herself. I groaned as I watched her taking me in and clenching ever so slightly but enough to make me crazy. I made the move to touch her but was met with restraint.

“I want to touch you.” I groaned out as she rolled her hips.

“I will touch for you.” She gave a teasing smile and grabbed her breasts. My eyes followed her every move, watching intently as she slowly put two fingers in her mouth, sucking on them before she trailed her fingers down her stomach and to between her legs.

“You fucking tease.” I growled out as I watched her riding me while playing with herself. She then moaned my name, going faster, taking me all in as I continued to watch her fingers moving around.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I needed to touch her. With one hard pull, I released my hands, breaking the top of the sunbed in the process. I discarded the shirt and grabbed her. I quickly switched our position to have her under me instead.

“Mine to touch. Mine to take.” I took her breast in my mouth, playing around and sucking on her nipple as she moaned out in pleasure. I rammed inside of her, needing to move hard and fast. I held around her tightly, finding my way up to her lips as I continued to thrust inside of her. Our loud breathing and the sound of our skin slapping against each other filled out the quiet night as I kept going.

I felt her clenching around me, and I groaned against her lips as my fingers went down to play.

“Oh, God.. Damiano…”

“Come for me, baby..” Her nails went down my back, sending shivers down my spine. Soon, her legs were trembling as she threw her head back, crying out as she reached her climax. I thrust into her one more time before I followed right after, reaching my intense peak as I filled her up. I slumped over her but was careful not to crush her with my weight as I calmed down.

“Where were you?” Althaia asked once we were in bed and rolled onto her side to look at me.

“Had a business meeting I had to take care of. I also had a small chat with Sofia. I got rid of her for good this time.” I explained to her, pulling her closer to me. She looked at me before slowly nodding.

“I guess it is for the best.” She sighed. I knew she wasn’t too thrilled about the idea of killing. Her heart was too big and pure for it, but she knew Sofia had to be gone for good now.

I kissed the top of her head. My hand was caressing her body and slowly down to her stomach. It was burning inside of me with so much desire to see her pregnant with our child. It was like I could picture it perfectly. I wanted it so badly with her. I leaned down and placed a kiss on her stomach.

*Hopefully soon.*

When I looked up at her again, I was met with her smiling lovingly at me.

“Anything that could be a threat to you and our baby, I will kill them. What happened before… I refuse to let it happen again. I will keep you both safe.” I promised her. Althaia placed her hands on my face.

“You’re talking as if I’m already pregnant.” She chuckled.

“Maybe you are?”

“Too soon, my love. We just started trying. You have to be patient.”

“I’m not a patient man.” I grumbled out.

“I know.” She laughed. “But you have to be unless you have super sperm.” I chuckled along with her. She sure knew her way with words.

“I know our babies will surely be the most beautiful.”

“Of course, they’re going to be beautiful. With a father looking like that, it’s impossible to go wrong.”

“Maybe. But you’re definitely the beauty here.” I moved to hover over her, taking her arms and putting them above her head as I leaned close to her.

“My beautiful emerald.” I said lowly, watching her cheeks start to get a reddish hue. I buried my face into her neck, kissing her soft skin.

“So fucking beautiful, you make me constantly horny.” I groaned out, making her burst out in laughter.

“You’re too cute.” I lifted my head to look at her, raising a brow.

“Cute?”

“Yup.” She grinned. “Not a word I ever thought I would use to describe you, but you have cute moments other than the sexy, hot, devilish mafia way.”

“Hmm, cute for you only.” I found it amusing that she thought of me as being cute. No one had ever used that word about me. She was indeed something else and saw me in a way no one else did.

“Of course. You’re not allowed to be cute for anyone else.”

“I don’t want anyone else. You’re the one for me.” I leaned in, capturing her soft lips with mine. I released her arms as she wrapped them around my neck, her tongue dancing with mine, and I let myself get completely lost in the sensations. I pulled away before needing to fill her up again, but I knew she was too tired for it now.

“Get some sleep, my love.” I gave her one more kiss before I rolled to my side of the bed, and she snuggled closer to me, her eyes barely open.

“Damiano?”

“Hmm?”

“Have you visited Sienna yet?” I stilled, surprised by her question.

“I haven’t.”

“You should.” She looked up at me with a soft smile. “You should buy her favorite flowers and give them to her.” I stroked her hair as I looked at her.

“Why? I have moved on.”

“I know you have made peace with it, but you were still with her until the end. You should visit her when you have the chance to do so.”

“You’re not jealous?” I questioned. I was surprised that she wanted me to visit Sienna. The last time I visited her was on her death anniversary, and I returned the things I still had of her to her family. That was the beginning of me moving on from her. I hadn’t considered visiting her again now that I was with Althaia.

“No. My jealousy has boundaries, and I cannot be jealous of a woman who has passed away. She was in your life, and you cared for her.” I gave her a small smile before giving a nod.

“Okay. Do you want to come with me?”

“That would be weird.” She let out a light chuckle. “It should be just the two of you. I don’t want to invade that part of your life.” Her fingers trailed across my cheek before she closed the little distance between us and kissed me.

“I love you.” She said against my lips before she snuggled into the crook of my neck.

“And I love you, baby.”

“Oh, and by the way… God forbid, but if I were to die before you, you’re not allowed to remarry. Or I swear to God, I will crawl out of the grave and rip her head off. Understood?” I chuckled at her serious tone.

“Understood, my love.”
