ATHENA’S POV.
The loud chirping sounds of the birds woke me up from my slumber, it was as if these birds were throwing a party because I still couldn’t comprehend why the sounds were so loud.
I still laid in bed with my eyes slightly closed as I still refused to open them but I guess Luciano also didn’t want me to have enough of my sleep. He decided to open up the windows. The early morning light rays disturbed me and so I was forced to sit up on the bed.
“Why did you decide to gang up with the birds to disturb my sleep. Don’t you know I need this sleep to be this hot and sexy, huh?” I uttered with a low tone.
I proceeded to stretch my hands apart over my head, trying to get the tiredness off me.
“Get ready, I have a lot of things to show you.” Luciano ordered.
Okay, I couldn’t believe he was ordering me around. And a tiny voice in my head already agreed to his command. I was slowly turning into his supposed dream submissive girlfriend, but still I wanted to act naughty.
“What do you want to show me, you disturbance? After forcing me to wake up and now you tell me you’ve a lot to show me. Uhm.” I spoke, turning my face away from him.
“Okay, fine ma’am. I’m sorry for disturbing you.” He apologized as we walked towards me, eventually he placed a warm perk on my forehead and whispered into my left ear “Get ready.”
With this, he turned around and left the cabin which was unusual.
He normally locked me up somewhere or tied me but this time he left me alone to get ready. “Oh get ready” The little one in my head laid emphasis.
I still had no idea of what I was getting ready for.
“Shoot!” I exclaimed.
Just because I was maybe falling in love didn’t mean I should totally forget the main reason I was here. I immediately ram towards the window to check if Luciano really went somewhere. Soon, I confirmed he was far away from the cabin.
Hurriedly, I reached out for the burner phone which I hid on the wooden floor and dialed Forster’s father’s number, Fredrick.
Within a few seconds, the call went through.
“Athena!” He spoke, sounding worried and anxious.
“Mr Fredrick…” I muttered because I began to feel anxious- What if Luciano was on his way back to the cabin?
“Sir, I can’t talk for long. I’ve some solid evidence against Luciano that could ruin him but first I need you to…” I couldn’t complete my statement as he immediately interrupted me. I guess it was as a result of how anxious and worried he was all because of me.
“First what? Do you understand that your life is in danger, huh?” He questioned. This time sounding more disturbed.
Only if he knew I was actually in love with Luciano and he would do anything to protect me, I guess.
“Yes I do.” I had to play along because I wasn’t sure how the news of being in love with a mafia lord I was supposed to investigate was going to sit with him.
Well, I was investigating but not as well I was supposed to.
“Okay. I understand. I’d send all I’ve to Devein and when and where you’d send the FBI to get me. I promise.” I explained.
Immediately, I hung up and hid the phone back because I heard a noise and assumed Luciano had returned.
My legs refused to cooperate with me because my brain alerted me to run to the bed and fake being asleep while my legs ran in circles looking for the bed. I panicked so bad.
I shut my eyes tightly waiting to hear his voice but it was to no avail.
I decided to check for myself this time but no one was there, it might just had been as a result of fear or something.
Immediately, I went in to freshen up before Luciano could return.
As I came out from the wash room with his white shirt on, I saw him seated on the bed.
As soon as he noticed my presence, he dropped what he was doing and walked towards me. My arms were soon lifted above my head by him. He pinned them firmly on the wall with his left arm and used his right hand to grab my waist as he pulled me closer to him.
He looked me deep in the eyes as if my eyes were some sort of ocean or something as he whispered in my left ear “it seems you love my clothings and I must say you look sexy in them.” He uttered with a deep and low toned voice.
He sucked on my neck and caused me to become a moaning mess. Soon, he carried me up and my legs were wrapped around his waist as he laid me in bed still sucking on my neck and then to my neck continuously.
He hasn’t touched me lips and I wondered why.
“Daddy is saving the best part for soon and soon is now!” He exclaimed and leaned forward to devour my soft lips.
I wanted to play hard to get this time. Hence, I turned my face away. He was shocked at this and just had a smiled plastered on his face.
“Oh, it seems someone is giving me an attitude. Fine, get ready and let’s go.” He commanded and let me free.
I was amazed by his action and decided to tease him more.
“Someone is already horny.” I joked.
“Don’t start what you can’t end. Remember what occurred the last time.” He said confidently.
I chuckled at his sayings and just decided to stop my teasing and get ready.

After all the thoughts and crazy scenarios I made up in my head of both of us getting married and having cute babies as we both walked in the woods, we finally arrived at a river. It seemed big and deep and so I got scared even at the sight of it.
Soon my FBI instinct came at the wrong time, “what if he wanted to drown me here, like in all those crime movies or documentaries.”
Okay, I had to stop letting the tiny voices in my head control my thoughts.
“What are we doing here?” I questioned him.
“I brought you here to swim princess.” He responded calmly.
I could not help but tell, my heart melted when he called me “princess.” It wasn’t the first time but it felt different. Was he also falling for me too?
Soon, I was snapped back to my senses and away from my lovey dovey thoughts.
“Wait! Swim. No freaking way. This is a river. There might be snakes in it. No way!” I objected.
“Okay calm down, calm down. They’re no snakes here. I’ve been swimming in this river ever since I was a kid and not for a damn day did I see any snakes and besides if any snake came close to you to hurt you I’d make sure I burn it alive.” He responded with all manner of confidence in his voice.
Wow! I was impressed. So he was ready to burn a snake for me?
While I was lost in thoughts I didn’t know Luciano was planning something naughty as he pulled me with me into the river.
My heart escaped from my body and I couldn’t help but scream holding on to him tightly.
When we were eventually in the water, I opened my eyes to see his eyes staring at me with a devilish grin plastered on his face.
“Are you crazy!” I scolded him.
“No but I might be crazy for you.” He teased me.
I couldn’t help but blush slightly.
My dress was wet and I was pretty sure it was see through. Luckily, no one else seemed to be around the environment.
“Can we go back now please.” I pleaded.
“Not yet.” He responded immediately.
“But my dress got wet. I can’t go like this.” I tried explaining.
But he still insisted. I made me wear a spare jacket which he brought with him, it was just as if he planned all of these- for me to get wet so he could see my body. Such a bad boy, I must say!
See soon left the river and went on to see a cliff. He insisted I saw this cliff because he couldn’t stop talking about how the view was pleasing.
Finally, we got to the cliff. Low and behold my eyes met with one of the most beautiful views ever. The sun was already setting and the birds flew beautifully.
I was indeed wowed.
As we both watched the sun set he held me in his arms all through, it was as if he was protecting me from something or someone.
Maybe, he wasn’t that bad as he seemed.
