Tainted

Restrained

Mateo felt horrible.

He thought she'd be so excited to see him they'd make love in an instant.

Instead she was laying in his bed after passing out from shock, maybe he read the situation wrong.

He watched her sleep, smiling to himself as he ran a hand over her head, she looked so peaceful.

"I don't know what you expected, to her you're dead and then all of a sudden you appear, I would've shat myself".

"You're not helping Tony".

"I wasn't trying to".

Mateo sighed heavily as he walked away from her, running a hand through his hair before looking out the big windows.

"She'll be happy to see you once reality hits, just give her time".

Before Mateo could speak, the bed shifted.

Both men snapped their gaze her way, watching as she groaned loudly before slowly opening her eyes, they widened when they fell upon her not so dead lover.

"O-Kay, not a dream".

Capri pinched the bridge of her nose as she took in deep breaths to calm herself.

Tony nodded towards Mateo before reaching the elevator to leave them alone.

"How are you alive right now"? She asked, still keeping her eyes shut tightly as she now massaged her temples.

"You sound unhappy, caro mío". He spoke sadly.

"I am confused".

"I faked my death, it was the only way to give you what you wanted, a life free of crime".

She finally looked over at the man beside her, following his movements as he sat on the opposite side of the bed.

"Carlo is Don now and they all believe I'm dead, you and I can finally be happy".

Her throat tightened as his words sunk in, finally understanding what had happened.

"You did this for me"?

"No, I did this for us".

He engulfed her hands into his, bringing them to his lips as he decorated them in small kisses.

His eyes remained on her as he did so, noticing her chest expand as his hands made contact with her own.

"Do you love me"? He asked with a smile.

She nodded, her state still in shock as he inched closer to her, now sitting right in front.

"I want to hear you say it".

Mateo ran the back of his hand down her left cheek, his cold rings making contact with her skin as she shivered from the contact.

Capri leaned into him with closed eyes, snuggling into his hand as the next three words escaped her lips.

"I love you".

He grinned excitedly, happy to hear such words that she considered forbidden, directed to him.

"I love you more".

Mateo grabbed her chin, lifting her gaze as he connected their lips together in a passionate kiss.

"I've been wanting to fuck you for the longest time Capri, I stayed celibate for a whole month just for you". He spoke with pride, once again connecting their lips as he wrapped his hand around her neck to push her down onto the mattress.
