Chapter 33 INTERRUPTED DESIRES
"So, what were you and Matteo doing all last night?" I ask Allison curiously as I lay on the bed, biting into an apple.
"I'm not sure." Allison sighs, sitting down next to me. I scrunch my brows together, last night they seemed fine what happened?
"Why? Did it not go well?" I ask.
"Well, we both agreed we didn't want a relationship." She says and I look at her shocked. I really thought they would get in a relationship with the way they were looking at each other.
"But, we did have sex." She says, and I pause the big bite I was just going to take on my apple.
"Did you guys sneak inside the house then?" I say, still trying to process this. It was weird to think about, mainly because I just saw Matteo as an annoying brother.
"No, it was in the back of his car." She laughs nervously, her face turning bright red.
" No wonder you guys disappeared at some point."
I say to myself, putting the pieces together now.
They had been making out at some point then just disappeared.
"Well, I have to go back to work. I'll talk to you later."
Allison sighs as she looks at the time. I nod my head, saying bye before she walks out.
It was boring around the house while conner was working. Sometimes I'd see him around the house since most of the men worked here but usually I wasn't allowed to go where he was working.
I walk into the library since I had nothing better to do. I was surprised conner even had a library in the house, I don't think I've ever seen him read a book.
I scroll through the books, trying to find one that catches my eye before landing on one. I stand on my toes as I try reaching for it, sighing in relief as my fingers barely even graze the binding. At least I was getting closer.
I gasp when I feel someone behind me, and a large hand grabs the book I wanted. I turn around confused until I realize it's Matteo.
He had a sly smirk on his face as he read the book title.
"You with the freaky books again." He says and I roll my eyes, crossing my hands over my chest.
"Give it back, I found it first." I say, reaching my hand out for him to give it back.
"Why would I do that? I think I might read this." He says, flipping through the pages.
"Matteo don't make me strangle you again." I say, gritting my teeth together as he laughs at me.
I flinch as he moves the book into my hands all of a sudden.
"I came here because I wanted to tell you something." He says, walking closer to me.
I scrunch my brows together, holding the book close to my chest as I look up at him.
"What do you want to tell me?" I say, confused at why he was moving so close.
"I like you, Sophie ." He says, looking down at me and I widen my eyes at the sudden confession.
" Matteo I like Conn-" He cuts me off before I can even finish.
"I know, don't say it to my face will you? I just wanted to let it out. I'm not here to sabotage your relationship." He shrugs and I purse my lips, wondering why he even liked me.
I watch in confusion as he suddenly bursts out laughing. " You really believed me? Are you insane?" He laughs, and I scoff in disbelief. Did I just get pranked?
" I'm just here to give you this, conner got you a new one." Matteo says as he hands out a new phone to me. I slowly take the box, noticing it's the same color as Conner’s.
"He got me another one?" I say, looking in awe at the phone. How did he get another one so quickly?
"Yeah, now enjoy your...books." Matteo says before walking away.
I wanted to go see conner, but I knew he was too busy sadly to hang out with me.
So, instead I read my book for a couple hours.
I nearly fall asleep at one point.
Getting up from my comfortable position on the large couch I rub my eyes, putting the book back in its original spot.
Maybe conner was finished by now. Allison had texted me he just got back from a meeting and was in his office now.
My legs take me to his office door as I stand outside of it. I wanted to knock, but didn't want him to think I was being clingy. Should I just make an excuse?
Sighing I just knock on the door, peeking my head through. I feel my heart race when I see him at his desk, smiling at his phone. I wonder what was making him smile like that..was it another girl?
"Conner?" I ask, walking into the office. His head moves up as his eyes move to mine, looking me up and down. I was wearing an oversized grey t-shirt with tight shorts under.
"What are you doing here? Is everything alright?" He asks, his tall frame getting up and walking towards me.
I take in a breath when he moves his arm around my waist, pulling me close. My back is pushed against the wall gently as I feel him move kisses down my jaw, a gasp leaving my mouth at the sudden touch.
"I..I was just gonna ask." Shoot I forgot to make an excuse. I panic in my head, trying to focus on finding an excuse while he was touching me was not very helpful.
Conner places a kiss on my nose before looking down at me with a smirk, our faces holding barely any distance.
"Yeah?" He says when I don't say anything.
My brain is rushed at that point and do I regret the words I say after? Maybe, but at least I could be around him.
"I want you to teach me. how to fight." I say hesitantly, watching as his eyes glint with amusement.
"Can you handle it?" He says, moving a piece of my hair off my face.
I feel my breath hitch as his lips move near mine, my body feeling like it's been set on fire. " O..of course I can." I say quietly, my face turning red when his lips move onto mine. I kiss him back as he moves closer to me, forcing entry into my mouth with his tongue.
I moan as his hands make their way under my t-shirt, leaving a burning trail on my skin as he moves up to my breasts.
Conner gently moves me back on the couch, hovering over me as his leg goes in between my own.
"Do you know how fucking hard it is controlling myself princess ." He says, his voice husky as his kisses move onto my neck.
My heart races as he's about to move my shirt off but the sound of the door opening nearly gives me a heart attack as I push conner off, quickly standing up.
I almost turn around and run out of the door when I realize it's Conner’s father who had come in.
I look at conner confused when he smirks at me, until I realize he was glancing at my neck.
A hickey
"What are you doing here?" Conner asks his dad as he moves in front of me. I slowly move more behind him when I realize all I was wearing was a t-shirt and small shorts.
There's no way he wouldn't see the big hickey right on my neck, I had no chance of escaping.
"I wanted to return this book, I stole it from your library a couple days ago." His father laughs, looking over at me. I burn in embarrassment, hoping he hadn't noticed anything as I nervously smile at him.
I squint my eyes at the book he was holding in his hand, only then noticing that was one of the romance books I had been reading recently.
A man in the mafia being interested in a romance book? Surprising.
"Oh yeah! How was your birthday? You two left early, I hope it wasn't too boring there." His father says as Conner takes the book.
I feel my face flush, knowing why we had left early.
" Not at all, that was the best birthday I've ever had." He smirks, looking over at me. He was just doing this on purpose now at this point.
"Good, now I'll leave you two alone I'm sure you're busy." He says, looking between us and on my neck where my hickey had been. I nearly pass out from embarrassment.
"I'm never showing my face in front of him again." I groan when he leaves.
"Why not? I don't think he suspected a single thing."
Conner says, sitting down on the couch and I grab a pillow, smacking it on his shoulder. He didn't even move, or flinch.
"It's not funny, he probably thinks I'm terrible now." I mumble.
" I don't think he cares principessa, and he didn't see anything." I nod my head, trying not to think of it too much.
My eyes widen when Conner suddenly pulls me down onto his lap, my legs now straddling his waist. " Someone else could come in “
" Let them." He says deeply, moving his lips onto mine. It felt like my heart was going to race out of my chest when he suddenly pulls my shirt off, a moan leaving my mouth as his kisses move down to my breasts.
My hands wrap around his neck as he continues kissing me and I feel myself start to move against his pants, feeling his hard through the thin fabric of my shorts as a moan escapes my mouth.
"Fuck Sophie ." He groans, moving me to lay on my back before moving his lips back onto mine, our tongues fighting with each other as his hand cups my breast.
Conner’s phone rings but he ignores it, until it rings for a second time. His lips move off of mine, an annoyed look on his face as he grabs his phone. I sit up, noticing he had a picture of me on his lock screen before he answers the call.
A small smile moves on my face, I would've never expected the most ruthless mafia man to keep a picture of me on his phone as a wallpaper.
"What the fuck do you want?" He says deeply into the phone, anger laced in his voice.
He's on the phone for a couple of minutes speaking in Italian as I wait patiently and when he hangs up the phone I look up, hoping he doesn't have to go.
"I have to go take care of something, I'll be back later tonight." He says, pushing a piece of my hair behind my ear.
"I'm sorry princess , I wish I could stay here with you longer." He sighs, running a hand through his hair.
"It's okay, It's for work." I say and he moves down to kiss my forehead before he left.
