Grace’s POV
I closed my eyes in his neck, his warmth instantly spread in my body which is Naked beneath him. I don’t know why he did that, why he felt necessary to give me his warmth after having oral sex.
Wasn’t he supposed to mock and leave me, afterall he proved his point.
What am I doing? This is so wrong on so many levels.
I opened my eyes when he placed my head down on the pillow, he slid down beside me and before he touched me again, i turned my back to him.
Clutching on the bedsheet tightly as wave of guilt flared in my gut.
My body froze for a moment when his strong hand snaked around my waist and pulled me against his chest.
Again, i was expecting him to leave.
“What happened?”
His whisper fanned my ear. I can feel his hardness on my back.
He gently turned me around and i looked at him when his large hand made me to.
His eyes demanded answer.
“You are engaged… We shouldn’t be doing this.”
I replied.
I know i am a bitch. A spoiled brat and i misuse my brother’s power but i can’t destroy someone’s relationship.
I tried to remove his hand from my waist but he didn’t let me.
“I am not engaged to anyone… My engagement was broken even before your arrival…”
I looked at him confused.
“But that day___”
“It was a lie…”
His eyes didn’t even blink when he told me the truth.
“I wanted to keep you away from me but i don’t think it’s necessary…”
I can’t tell how badly i want to slap this man.
I pushed him away but he grabbed me before i get away from him.
His hand rested on my Naked back, i am bare a new born and he is completely covered in his shirt and trousers.
“Who is Osman, Grace?”
He asked and feel amused by the hint of jealousy in his voice.
Seriously! We are doing this?
“I don’t know… Find out and tell me too.”
I sighed.
He doesn’t look satisfy by my answer but he didn’t loose his hold on me like i will disappear.
“So, what are we doing?”
I asked.
I better make myself clear that i am not in for any kind of emotional attachment. Not when i am here as his captive. My brother probably want to kill this man and i won’t be able to stay here longer.
Looking for any kind of emotional connection will be stupidity.
“You tell me…”
He sighed and looked at the ceiling.
“How do you want it?”
Wow! He is really letting me decide. That’s great.
His eyes found mine again.
“Tell me, Bunny… How do you want it.”
Well, if he is not engaged them it doesn’t bother me at all.
“Just sex!”
I said and i am not ashamed of my demand. If i am getting myself into this then i should be clear as crystal.
His eyes roamed on my face, probably trying to judge me.
“Just sex?”
He tasted these words on his tongue and i don’t why but i don’t why but i feel like he didn’t like the taste of it.
“Fine…”
“I think only sex will be safe… For both of us”
I said.
He turned towards me, moving the bed with his weight. God! This man is huge and my naked body is locked to his clothed one.
“I am going down for dinner…”
I don’t know why he ignored my words or if it was normal for him.
I won’t be surprised knowing that he has a relationship with women just for benefits. Mafia world is much darker than this.
“But you are hard”
I can still feel him on my thighs.
“I don’t believe in quickies…”
He smirked, taking my lower lip between his teeth. God! My pussy started throbbing again.
“Once i enter inside you… You won’t be able to sleep whole night…”
Fuck! How am I suppose to react on this.
But i am sure my face has shown my excitement.
He released me from his hold and got up from the bed. I watched him leaving the room and suddenly room felt empty.
I didn’t know that i wanted him beside me that badly.
He is annoying but he is not that intolerable.
May be i getting Stockholm syndrome.
I am feeling bored. What do I do now? Should I go down?
But it’s a family dinner and i am sure that they won’t like their enemy there.
But Anamika invited me.
Arghh, may be she did out of formality.
But it didn’t sound like one. I guess, i need to find out.
I picked down in the living room while descending the stairs, I have grabbed the random dress to down before they are done with the dinner. I don’t know why i am curious to join them.
I saw everyone in the living room, sitting in circle on sofa. Laughter and chatting are making the house feel alive than before.
I guess that’s the perk of living in a healthy and happy family.
The way they are laughing, no one will say that this is a Mafia family. Unlike mine, except Veronica, no one laughs at my house. And our parents are the worst creatures on the earth, always fighting.
May be Vlad is aware of the damage so he didn’t let me interact with our parents much in this one year.
Suddenly laughter stopped and i realised that every eye is on me.
Oh god! This is awkward.
Dom is also looking at me like he wasn’t expecting me here.
Anamika broke the silence.
“Grace!… Come sit… I am so happy that you decided to come.”
She smiled.
I don’t know why but i liked this woman. I usually don’t like people this quickly but she knows how to make people comfortable around her.
I smiled back and sat beside her and exactly in front of Dom who is sitting there like he doesn’t know me, asshole!
Okay! So we are playing. Fine then.
I looked away from him and looked at the girl who was looking at me like she has seen a ghost.
Beautiful long hair and green eyes. She must be Raan, his sister. Bella once told me about her.
“Hii, i am Grace!”
I tried to break the awkward look.
She cleared her throat and shook her head like she was in another world.
“Raan!.. nice to meet you Grace”
I don’t know if i am wrong but her eyes were glossy but she blinked it away.
Or may be i am looking to much into it. She has beautiful watery eyes.
“Thanks for inviting me to the dinner… I know i should be the last person present here…”
I smiled.
“You are not our enemy, Grace…”
The big bad wolf aka the former king said in his deep heavy voice. His age makes him look Even more intimidating.
“Your brother is”
“I know but we have the same blood.”
I replied and wave of disapproval flashed on everyone’s face.
“And i love my brother… I am not scared to admit it.”
I am really not.
“Glad you love your brother”
He said and Alex frowned at his father.
“Significa che si stava prendendo cura di lei” (It means he was taking good care of her.)
He looked at Alex and he rolled his eyes.
What are they saying?
“Let’s eat dinner… I am hungry”
Bella said and everyone nodded.
“I heard it’s my favourite food”
She smiled.
“Yeah, benefits of popping out a baby.”
Raan chuckled.
“No! Everyone loves me that’s why”
Bella said with huge smile.
“Isn’t it, Father in law?”
Is she friendly with Massimo. He doesn’t seem that kind.
As expected he ignored her.
“Let’s eat”
He cleared his throat and got up.
How mean! He really doesn’t care about her. She is so sweet.
Dom and Alex walked ahead. Raan and Anamika was behind us along with Massimo and Bella was walking beside me.
Suddenly she tripped on the carpet and stumbled forward.
“Bella!”
My instant reaction was to catch her but i was late.
But Massimo grabbed her before she falls down. He quickly pulled her up on her feet.
“Careful, Damn it!”
He cursed.
Bella was breathing heavily like she was about to fall from the cliff.
Massimo looked at her feet and frowned.
“Who the fuck gave you permission to wear heels?”
He asked.
“Take it off…”
He ordered but i can sense the concern in his voice.
“But i am not pregnant anymore”
Bella whined.
“Maa”
She looked at Anamika.
“She can’t save you in this.”
Massimo Said strictly.
“Take it off, Bella… You are not recovered yet and heels are not good for your back…”
Bella whined.
“But__”
“No sweets for whole year if you disobey”
He challenged and Bella took off her heels with sulky face.
I was wrong, he really cares about her.
He just doesn’t show it.
“You are mean father in law… I hate you”
Bella said and walked towards the dining hall.
I wonder how this family tolerate her childish behaviour. It’s not allowed in my family.
Anamika chuckled behind Massimo and patted his back.
“Let’s go”
We all walked towards the table and i sat beside Dom.
“What took you guys so long?”
Alex asked Bella’s eyes widened.
Massimo smirked.
“Your wife was__”
“I was talking to my father, that’s why.”
Bella interrupted him and looked at him pleadingly.
Like Alex won’t like if he learns what just happened.
“Okay!”
Alex looked at them unsure but let it pass.
I was going to take my first bite but my breath hitched in my throat when i felt hand on my thigh.
