Book:More Than Lust Published:2024-6-25

Grace’s POV
I was going to take my first bite but my breath hitched in my throat when i felt hand on my thigh.
My spoon stopped midway to my mouth and i looked at him through corner of my eyes.
He is sitting calmly, taking a taste of his food. No one can guess what is he doing under the table by his expressions.
This Man!
I maintained my calm expressions and tried to remove his hand but he tightened it.
I don’t know if his family can sense it or not but this is too risky.
“You know we have multiple deserts tonight…”
I tried to focus on Bella who seems more happy than her little daughter.
Dominick’s eyes snapped towards Alex when he said.
“Dom seemed to have his desert before dinner…”
I looked at Alex confused and my eyes widened when he looked at my neck.
Fuck! I didn’t realise it. Dom must have left hickeys on my skin. I quickly covered my neck with my hair before someone else could notice it.
“What?… But Dom doesn’t like sweets.”
Raan asked confused.
“Focus on your food, kid!”
Alex mocked her and she slapped his arm for calling her a kid.
They have healthy relationship as siblings. I don’t fun around with my brother, he is more like a father to me.
“Not at the dinning table…”
Anamika scolded them like they are still naughty kids and what made me smile is they listen to her like good kids.
Alex and Dom are kings and they still respect their mother which is very rare in Mafia world. Men usually doesn’t consider women as a respectful human being in Mafia world. Vlad doesn’t even like to see our mother.
“Okay, so now everyone is here i want to discuss one thing…”
She announced and everyone looked at her with full attention. Even former king.
Wow! She really holds power in this house.
“Grace has requested to change her bedroom…”
She declared.
Shit! I wanted to but i changed my mind for obvious reasons. Dom’s hand tightened on my thigh.
“I understand that you guys have kept her under Dom’s surveillance but she is a human being and a woman… We should respect her privacy…”
She continued.
No! I don’t want to change my room. I want to scream it but i can’t. They will suspect.
“She has everything she wants.”
Dom finally broke his silence, grabbing everyone’s attention.
“Privacy is one of that…”
He turned his head towards me.
“Right?”
He sounds eger to punish me for my request.
And the fucked up thing is I am feeling excited about it.
“Dom we can’t force it on her… She literally fainted today…”
Anamika looked at him.
“She is our responsibility”
“I don’t trust her, she will try to escape… She is cunning.”
Dom said and i gasped.
I pinched his thigh as a revenge but he didn’t even flinch. Meet me in bedroom, bitch!
“Maa, I understand your concern but I don’t think it’s necessary…”
Alex butted in.
“Why is that?”
Anamika frowned.
“Can we talk about it after dinner? Alone!”
Alex said looking at her with unknown expressions and She nodded like she understood his hidden message.
“But Grace, do you really want to change your room?”
Alex looked at me, bitch you saw my hickeys. He is doing it on purpose.
“Doesn’t matter…”
Dom picked up his spoon again.
“She doesn’t have choice in it…”
His hand slid under my dress. Fuck!
“Since when we started giving choices to our captives.”
“We’ll have a talk on this topic after dinner”
Anamika said with a frown like she didn’t like his words.
Well, i didn’t either. But I am not surprised. He is always rude.
But why i am feeling bad about it. I know i am just a captive for him and i asked him to keep it that way. Just sex! It was my decision.
I don’t want to get attached to him emotionally.
“Guys, focus on dinner… We can have these boring convo later… Food is too good.”
Raan said.
I tried to grab Dom’s hand when it started playing with hem of my panties. I gave him warning glare but he smirked looking at his plate.
Bastard!
I have to distract him before me makes me moan in front of his family. God knows, i can’t control my mouth when he touches me.
I smirked when i got an idea of something which will help me. I placed the spoon down and grabbed the juice with my left hand since i need my right hand.
I smiled at Raan when our eyes met and she went back to her food, everyone seems busy except Dom, no worries I’ll make him.
I placed my hand on his upper thigh and he looked at me confused now it was my time to smirk.
I gave very little attention to his thigh and gently placed my hand on his crotch over his black trousers.
As expected my plan is worked, he stopped playing with my panties and squeezed my thigh in warning.
He almost dropped his spoon when i gently squeezed it, i can feel him getting bigger.
Poor man!
He released a heavy sigh and closed his eyes.
I tried to reach for his belt but he quickly grabbed my hand and intertwined his fingers with mine, stopping me from doing anything further.
He looked at me with a look which says ‘you are going to pay for this’.
Well, i like expensive things. I smirked at him.
“Grace!”
I was caught off-guard when Anamika called me.
“Choose your desert, Dear!”
Why this woman is so sweet to me?
When they said former queen, i expected someone arrogant and mean but here she is.
I choose cheesecake and thanked her.
“We are playing games after this… So no boring meetings…”
Raan exclaimed.
“I am going to USA tomorrow and before that i need to discuss some things with Your kings… Sorry princess!”
Raan pouted at his father.
“There is no fun without you guys…”
She whined.
“We’ll play tomorrow… He is coming back by evening… And Grace needs to rest too. She is not well…”
Anamika suggested.
“Alexandra is also not well, so i guess it’s better we all have a rest tonight…”
“Okay.”
Raan nodded in understanding.
“Bella, I am taking Alexandra with me…”
Anamika picked up her granddaughter and little girl seems to love her grandma because she hugged Anamika as soon as she picked her up.
“Have a good time for yourself.”
She winked at Alex and Bella blushed.
Wow! That’s so sweet. I liked this family. There is no compitition or hatred. Only love and belongingness.
One by one all went back to their respective rooms and i did the same.
Thank God! I don’t want to change the room now. I smiled to myself.
I freshen up and went to the closet to change for the bed. my eyes fell on his shirts, what could be more comfortable than his shirt.
I grabbed his shirt and got ready for the bed.
Sigh of satisfaction escaped my lips when i slipped under the soft bedsheet.
I wonder what Dom must be doing now, probably having meeting with his father.
I am not sleepy After sleeping whole day but after some good time i finally started to fall asleep but soon that to flew out of the window when bed shifted by the heavy weight and i felt lips on my thigh.
Well, night has just started i guess.
