A year in Italy

22

It got late and Sophia decided to drive me to Eliot's mansion. I gave her the directions because she didn't know where it was. When we got to the mansion it was 11 pm and Eliot was home, " huh well this is definitely not what I expected" Sophia said as she pulled up in front of the house. " why" I said as I unbuckled my seat belt, " This is nice... I mean too nice, actually it's gorgeous" she said as she looked at the house, " well why don't you come over tomorrow and I'll give you a tour" I said as I chuckled with Sophia. " Definitely" Sophia replied before I got off the car and said my goodbyes.

I then started walking up to the mansion, the guards were on the door as usual but did not look at me as I approached the door. One of them opened it for me and I then entered, the maids were done with their work and had went home. The house was so silent and most rooms were dark as the lights were turned off. I started walking up stairs hoping to find Eliot awake, " You hungry?" I heard a voice say when I was halfway up the stairs, I turned around and saw Eliot looking up at me. " Why aren't you asleep?" I asked him back, " I had a feeling you would come back" he said. I then looked at him and it was a moment of silence for a bit, I could feel myself biting my lip as I scanned him. We've been together for a month but he still gives me the feeling I once had when I first met him

" If you are tired I get that, you can get some rest" he broke the silence, " The incident at the boutique... doesn't it bother you?... my ex called me gullible and a whore" I said. " Camilla, your ex thinks you're gullible not me- you did all those things he said you did because you didn't love him... why would I be bothered by what another man thinks when I can just see for myself" he spoke" I told you I loved you and that won't change anytime soon, believe me" he added. I felt numb and was out of words to say. " Can you please come down stairs now... I have something to tell you." he said as he went into the dining area. I then followed him and sat on a chair next to him.

" I'm leaving for a month, for business" he explained, " what do you mean you're leaving for a month? Where are you going?" I exclaimed. " I'm going to Paris... I have to meet some clients, don't tell me you forgot what I do for business" he said, but he was right... I forgot that Eliot was one of the most respected Mafia leaders. So much has happened and he put his business on hold just to care for me, it wouldn't be fair if I protested. " why can't I come with you?" I asked him. " No, the people I'm meeting with are vultures, I don't want them anywhere the woman I love" he replied. He then stood up, " My flight is tomorrow morning so I have to get some sleep tonight". He kissed me on my forehead and said goodnight.

I remained seated on the dining table. I was playing every worse scenario I could possibly think of. What would happen if he meets someone better than me, my place in Eliot's life is not permanent... Mercy was engaged to him but still had her spot taken by me. As I sat thinking to myself, I remembered Sophia's words and decided to go to his room. I saw him hanging his shirt in the walk-in closet, "why do you have to be so organized all the time?" I sighed at him. " So I don't scare you away" he smirked, " you could never scare me away" I said as I walked closer to him. He then watched me and sat down at the edge of the bed.

" Look I see what you are trying to do, but I really need to rest" he said as he held my waist, " you  don't have to do anything... I promise, all you have to do is sit back and relax" I replied him as I then gently pushed him on the bed. I then got on top of him and started kissing his neck gently, I felt his hand slowly run his fingers on my thigh and it gave me goosebumps. I slowly started kissing his chest and made my way to his belt buckle, " Camilla..." -" shh" I then cut him off. I then felt his strength rise under me and he then flipped me unto my back and he was  now on top of me. He then slid my pants off and literally ripped my panties off.

I gasped slightly as he then started kissing me, his kisses were not as gentle as I remember, they were rough and quick. For the first time in a month I was seeing his rough side, for a moment it felt heavenly but then he stopped suddenly. " Why'd you stop?" I asked him panting, " I told you I'm tired and if I start now I'll be fucking you the whole night... now please let me rest" he responded me as he got off of me. He really did leave me on edge and it was a bit annoying, I got up out of bed and then walked out of the room, " where do you think you are going?" I heard his voice come from behind me, " you said you needed to rest... so I'm giving you your time to rest" I said as I looked over my shoulder.

"I love you" he said.
