Chapter 13

Lana's pov

7:40 am

Lorenzo didn't come back to the house yesterday, I ate dinner alone, I never ate dinner alone.

It felt strangely nice.

No side talks, no pass-me phrases, no annoying topics as Aria have always did back when I was with her.  

But, sitting on the same table as Lorenzo's felt unusually satisfying.

Most of the time, quietness waved through the air.

His theft glances, of which I can sense, made goosebumps unroll on my skin.

Yet, it wasn't uncomfortable for me to consider it icky.

It was..enjoyable.

I didn't know why I sat in his empty chair, but it felt familiar.

This is turning something in me that I am trying to avoid since I got here.

I am NOT gonna falling for him !

This is not right.

At all !

It doesn't matter that he saved me.

It doesn't work this way.

It's not a trade.

Lana, it's not a trade.

Our conversation at the Cuzco yesterday kept me from sleeping, I kept rolling on the mattress till now, light sneaked into the room through the thin chiffon curtains, I can hear nothing, not even at the back of my head, the aura was still, mysteriously still.

I almost thought I might be dreaming, I laid on my back with my hands rested on my stomach, starred at the ceiling hoping to find any solution to the deep shit I have been dragged into, I am losing everything.

A car's engine driving in the drive way has cut my thoughts rapidly, I jumped out of bed, ran to the window, peaked through the closed curtain only find three G-Wagon black cars with a dozen men in suits, holding guns screaming orders to each other, I panicked, my heart raced madly until I saw Lorenzo getting out of the car yelling at Freya to call the doctor, he opened the backseat door to see a guy I have never seen before, he looked like Lorenzo a little but a lot younger, he had blood splattered all over, he was completely unconscious. Blood dripping all of the floor.

Three men carried him into the house, while two turned to the second car grabbing a what it appeared to me female figure, but she was conscious and trying to escape their grip with no success, my eyes widened and I couldn't believe my eyes the moment her face hit the light reflected from the lamppost next to her, it's Aria!

She was in a miserable condition, handtied and mouth tapped,

I darted breathless down the stairs ,screaming her name on top of my lungs, coldness escalated all over my body, is she hurt, too?

I could only think of awful scenarios.

I couldn't contain my fear.

I couldn't contain my doubts.

As cold air hit my face, Lorenzo roared my name, I pretended to ignore him and didn't hesitate until I got to the two men holding Aria as if she was a fucking duffle.

I shouted at them, they acted as if they didn't see me,

-    Leave her alone, leave her alone.

Aria's screams got even higher as she tried break free, I kept trying to break through their cage of hands holding her way above my height and my tears began to form as I was helplessly failing, Lorenzo came from behind me, grabbed me by my wasit while I kept on screeching,

-    Stop it,Lana.

-    Why are you treating her like that, please Lorenzo. Let her go.

-    If you knew what we have been through because of her you'd know why.

-    Just leave her alone and we'll talk, I promise.

-    You will talk to her tomorrow, now isn't the right time.

He pointed to the guards to get her inside while her put me down to the ground, I tracked them until they disappeared inside. I turned to him, anger flashing through my eyes, we maintained eye contact for almost a minute waiting for him to say anything.

Only I couldn't form a word.

How does that even happen ?

This is driving me nuts !

I wanna slap him, but I should thank him.

What the hell is that supposed to mean ?

- you'll know everything tomorrow, I promise.

- I can't wait till tomorrow, I want Aria to sleep in my bedroom.

- Not gonna happen.

-Why ?

- I told you,Lana..I'm not gonna repeat myself all the time, you'll know everything tomorrow...Mattia has been shot and I have to be with him..get inside.

-You must ans-

-Inside.Now !

I, unwillingly, as always, went back inside.

Cursing him with every single curse I know, in french.

- What the hell are you saying ?

- None of your business, Connard.

I stepped ahead of him, but I froze when I heard painful screams coming out of the room down the hall. It must be his cousin,Mattia, I went to have a look at him, but no man allowed me in.

They laughed sarcastically at my face something about me being a girly little daddy's girl who would faint if I saw the blood and the injury.

Fucking men.

I tried looking for Aria but Lorenzo shot me a warning look, as he closed the space between us, with his nose centimeters from mine, his forehead stuck onto mine, he rasped:

- you have 24 hours to lock yourself up into your room, I don't wanna see you out of your room for even a second, my men have seen you enough.

- I am not a pet you can lock up, Lorenzo.

-They're Leaving tomorrow, Don't.mess.with.me, take a step out of your room, and see what happens, I don't want any games, pulling up fights with me, or any teasing, understood?

I didn't reply.

- That's of course if you wanna talk to her tomorrow.

- Okay, Okay.

- Good girl.

Okay, that's..a turn on.

I brushed the idea quickly out of my mind.

Went up to my room quietly.

I spent all day desperately wanting to see Aria, I didn't know what happened, I can't yet decide what to ask her first, so many questions are on my mind, it's killing me. But the fact that she's here with us was a relief. 

I have done everything I can think of to distract myself, I finished a book in four hours, gave coconut a shower, painted until my hand went numb, took a long nap, everything !

I decided to take a bath, a long awaited one.

I pulled my hair in a high ponytail, filled the tub with mix of hot and cold water,spread some bath rose salt, a drop of a shower gel of the same scent to form bubbles,the warm water lessened my stress, I gave in almost immediately as steam occupied the bathroom with the perfect rose scent. Closed my eyes and exhaled in pure enjoyment. 

I lost track of time as songs in my headphone kept on streaming, forgetting everything outside the bathroom door, now is a me moment.

I avoided further thoughts as much as possible, only one thought I couldn't keep out of my head.

Him.

The way way he kissed me, the way he held me, he didn't put much effort to make me cum twice, he knew what he was doing. It seemed like a piece of cake for him.

I never thought he'd actually be warm, considerate.

I knew he controlled himself. It was hard for him to hide it. He wanted more. I wanted more.

It was fucking incredible.

I didn't even try to shut my moans up.

The pleasure was too much for me to shush.

I clenched my thighs together as I felt my heartbeats down my vagina. My nipples hardened in no time.

I can't do this anymore !

This isn't happening again.

I am not going any far !

Exhausted.

I got off the bath tub, showered, did every step in haircare and skincare, decided to wear a black playsuit ,a one piece pajama only with butt shorts,  I slipped into the bed, coconut sleeping on his bolster bed, I turned off the lights, allowing only the moonlight penetrating through the curtains.

I tried hushing the voices in brain, I need to rest, physically I'm not exhausted, mentally I am somewhere else. My mumy's face kept vanishing whenever I try imagining it. I need reassurance, I need to know that everything is gonna be fine.

It may not be,now.

I heard the door knob turning slowly, my heart skipped a fearing beat, I turned my head to the door, I black silhouette of a figure I can spot between millions, it's him.

His scent distracted my senses.

A spicy, woody aroma only he could pull off.

I turned my back at him, not wanting to talk to him.

Knowing I am still awake, he stood at the door for a couple of minutes, then I heard the door close.

He's gone.

The pushing him away plan was finally making progress, I sighed in hurt.

I don't wanna push him away, but I have to.

I can't put any hopes in anyone, not anymore.

I am broken..shattered into pieces.

I started crying, my chest was heavy with distress, I couldn't hold back tears any longer, I sensed motion behind me, He's still here ??

In one swift motion, after feeling the mattress decrease behind me, he wrapped one arm around my waist, pulling my whole body effortlessly to him, my back stuck to his chest, I could feel his inhaling and exhaling increases bit by bit, his lips next to my ear, he whispered in a sleepy voice,

-Don't cry, baby.

Tears flowed onto my pillow as my heavy breathe encouraged,

-I am not good at comforting, but I promise you, she's safe and sound.

- Are you sure ?

- I am made sure of that myself, baby.

-Don't call me that

-You have no choice in the matter.

-....

-Stop crying, I hate that.

I turned myself so that I am facing him, I can't really see his face. But the moonshine was reflected on his eyes, he gaze was absent-mindedly holding mine, he ran his hand until my right thigh, placed it on his tree-truck hip, his black shirt was preventing the heat I wanted to feel, I held the end of it with my fingertips, raised just enough for him to understand me, he took it off.

His warmth was exceptionally addictive.

His toned torso had a V cut abs, I didn't resist tracing lightly all the way up to his broad shoulders.

He moved his hand back from my thigh up to my cheek, wiped my now semi-dried tears away along with little strands of hair he pushed far from my face, he brought his mouth closer to mine till we breathed the same air.

He clasped my upper lip ardently, moved to the corner of my mouth intentionally, until he reached again for the lower lip and the kiss grew immensely intense in seconds.

I could feel the tip of his tongue licking them from a minute to another, his hands pressed harder into my neck, as I felt his bulged penis harden in his boxers between my legs.

He, gradually, unbuttoned my romper smoothly, allowing the palm of his hand to glide down to my bare butt cheeks, I clenched my thigh wrapped around his torso as I felt an orgasm building up, he pulled me to be on top of him, I straddled him, out both of palms on his heavily breathing chest, the top of my pajama dropped down till my stomach, freeing my hard-nipples boobs from its fabric, But before I tried covering them with my hands, he strongly caught them and said,

- Don't cover yourself from me, ever.

He completed,

- You're fucking gorgeous,it kills me.

I smiled.

- Wine upon me,baby.

The way he dominant the conversation seemed to me impossibly seductive. I could feel my core tighten around my walls, I moved army ass in circles upon his hard on teasingly slow, as he held me diligently down by my waist for more control, His low growls kept me going nonstop..fuck, I am so close.

My sensitive bud became swollen and tense,  His penis kept growing harder and harder, until he wouldn't hold his lust anymore, he instantly pushed me off of him to lay on my back while he took charge on top of me, he looked puzzlingly at my sleeping suit,

- Off.

He said.

- I need this off, Now.

I undressed myself under his enticing gaze, my cheeks were burning at this point to even care,

I laid back to back my back, as he opened my legs wide until it hurt, He stared at me for reassurance,

- Are you on the pill?

I nodded.

- perfect !

He slammed himself into me, causing me to gasp my loudest moan, he got closer to my breasts as he continued thrusting as my juice lubricated both us blissfully.

- Fuck, you're so tight,baby. 

He moaned achingly into my ear, a thin glistening layer of sweat covered our hot bodies which filled the room with the aroma of passion and lust-fullness.

I caught a handful of his hair as he fastened his pace, I could feel both of our orgasms ready to explode, 

- Oh my god,..harder, p-please.

He bit my neck as he roughened his tempo, I imprisoned both sides of his face between my hand, kissed him between the fast, steady thrusts, he kissed me back, with his tongue wandering around every corner of my mouth.

In a split of a second, his pace increased madly that My walls couldn't contain my cum anymore, We groaned earsplittingly loud as we both closed our eyes shut in deep pleasure that I thought I actually saw stars.

Rapidly panting, Lorenzo fell down to my chest exhausted,

- Fuck, that felt so good,baby.

I shyly giggled as I caught my breathe.

It was uncommonly devine.

He lightly kissed my shoulder as he got off of me, he laid on my side, buried his face in my neck, inhaling intensively my savour. I wrapped both of my arms around him as I noticed his breathing slowed, eyes closed, went to sleep in no time. I retained on gently playing with his hair until I realized,

My infuriating thoughts seem to disappears whenever I am with him.

I don't think of anything.

I don't feel any pain.

I only feel..safe.
