CHAPTER 17

— I was already asleep, but my sleep is as light as the footsteps of my enemies, on impulse I already had my knife on the invader's fragile neck.

— Ellie! What do you do here?

— Sorry I-I shouldn't have come.

— Since you're here, say what you came for. — I grunted hard wearing my underwear, his eyes followed each movement before turning to my eyes, and I could hear a slight sigh.

— Come on Ellie, if you came to my room in the middle of the night it is for a good reason, just say it.

— Sorry, I shouldn't have come, I just wanted to, forget it. I'm sorry I woke you up. — She turned towards the door but I interrupted her in a firm voice.

— Stay! It is not a request, what do you want? Speak before I start you!

She shuddered and sat on the chaise long, her fingers intertwined showing her nervousness, and made my irritation grow.

— I don't know what she told you, but he didn't mean it, André had no choice.

— Start at the beginning Ellie and don't hide anything from me, understand? — She nodded!

— André got into a big mess with Diego, he owed a lot of money for drugs, besides using the drugs my brother still used them to get sex with women like Alana.

— Who's Alana?

— The oxygenated blonde you met today.

— I thought I heard you say I didn't know her name or am I wrong, Ellie? — I said, pinning her over my body in the chair — that was your last lie to me, capisce? Don't try me girl or I will give you a bigger reason to fear if you dare to lie again, do we understand?

— I will not lie, but please do not hurt André, I know he does wrong things, but he is my brother, I love him.

— Tell me from the beginning and don't hide a fact, do we understand?

She nodded, but my phone rang to get my attention, the call was from Jullius and it was more urgent than the problems of Ellie and her family.

— Get out, I'll talk to you later! — she looked at me without understanding my outburst, but I screamed making her jump — get out! I already said I'll talk to you later!

She got up quickly, fumbling with her own feet, I had to support her so that she didn't fall on the floor.

— Please, don't be so clumsy, go to your room and wait for me there, Ellie doesn't do anything stupid. — I kissed her lips lightly to calm her and let her go.

I called Jullius again, and he answered me angrily.

— Is your top head about to be cut off and are you only concerned with satisfying the bottom one? — What the fuck do you think Ricco is doing?

— I thought I was your capo, what changed on the way to all this disrespect?

— A capo di tutti capi dead is worth nothing buggiardo, how are you?

— Alive now tell me, godfather, what the reason for this uproar?

— Johnny one of Vitto's men is in Rio and Irina is with him. I followed them, but the bastard let himself be seen just enough for me to inform you, then it disappeared like smoke.

— I'm coming to you, prepare the way, don't leave anything that connects me to this city OK?

— No problem, Riccardo be careful, it's not just your life that is at stake, it's not just about you and your revenge.

— I know godfather, I know I have no choice. Notify me when it's clean to leave.

If Vitto is so close and allowing himself to be seen, it is because he knows that I will go after him and that he will be ready for me as much as I am ready to catch him. In a fury, I threw my phone across the room.

Not even the heavy exercises of the night calmed my nerves, the presence of Vitto, the mystery that hangs over Ellie's existence and the dread I saw in her eyes today, the images danced in my mind. I knew what was most important, but I couldn't leave it behind.

After a cold shower, I put on large mesh pants and went to the living room for a drink, maybe it would help me clear my mind.

I was looking out the window, the city was sleeping just below and I felt its presence before it even manifested, the city and its night glow completely lost its importance when I felt it standing behind me.

She was wearing short pyjama shorts and a T-shirt that matched each other at the hem. Even though it was simple, I looked at her curiously, I looked for fear, but what I found surprised me, it was desire, her moist lips and the movement of her fingers revealed her restlessness.

— Come on, — I called out, stretching my arm out to him. — who are you, Ellie? Who are you?

— Nobody worth seeing, or noticed.

— A little late for that, I already saw you, and I like what I see. I ran my hand through the strands of his hair, loosening the clip that held him at the top of his head.

My fingers untangled his curls, and they fell free over his shoulder.

I brushed my nose through his neck inhaling unhurriedly, taking in its scent as if it were pure oxygen or just another dose of an addictive drug.

— I want you Ellie, but I'm afraid you are my downfall, I can't give up the control, do you understand that Ellie? His head moved in agreement, and his breathing became more intense.

My hands came to life, no matter what my mind said, they roamed her small body and buried themselves in her hips, pulling her closer as I licked and bit every inch of her neck. My tongue running down her lap and back the same way as she moaned and choked under my touch.

— I want you, Ellie, I need this, I need to feel you under me, and you want the same thing, I feel your desire, your excitement calls me, begs me to satisfy you want me Ellie and I will give you what would you like.

Without giving time for answers I pulled her to my body her legs intertwined my waist, and she turned her head back giving me full access to my mouth, I wanted to take her to my bed, but I didn't have time for that, not at that moment. I pulled her shorts down right afterwards her shirt followed the same destination on the floor, but her panties didn't take my time, with a firm tug she broke into two pieces that fell without resistance.

— So adorable and shy you turn me on, wake up the devourer in me Ellie, I can't go slow with you, I want to own you, mark you take without asking.

— Mm mm — was just that sound that came out of your lips as I explored it with mine.

— I want to prove it to you, Ellie, I think you're very sweet here, — I stuck two of my fingers in her doorway without warning, and brought them to my lips, sucked one finger and the other I offered her.

— Taste Ellie, see how I was right, wet hot and very sweet — she sucked my finger, it was so innocent and erotic, that if I had more of that I would come in my pants like a teenager with his first porn magazine.

I needed it at that moment, my wallet was out of my hands, but I didn't let go, I went to the counter holding Ellie around my waist.

With a condom on, I put on my commitment as quickly as possible and buried myself hard in it, eliciting a cry that I didn't know if it was pain, surprise or pleasure. The wall as support was all I needed to have full access to her entrance, and I dove deep, feeding on her hard nipples of desire, she arched her back and pressed herself against me, I knew she was ready.

— Come, Ellie, free yourself on my cock, I want to see you.

My order made her succumb to a mind-blowing orgasm, which brought tears to her eyes. And I got lost right away, moaning his name on his neck.

— Damn girl, you're amazing.- I held her a little and let her calm down in my arms before taking her to my bed. I wasn't ready to let you go yet.

I was going to give it to her and take it away that night, tomorrow it might be too late for me, but today I just wanted to bury myself in that girl until there was nothing between us. And that's what I did.
