His Only

Chapter 4

"I want YOU"

Those words made Klaire more confused than ever, she stood speechless, staring at Ricardo blankly, not knowing what to say or how to answer, of course, she wasn't going to believe him, she couldn't. In her mind, men only want one thing, one single thing and that's it, they leave you for dead after;

Sex.

She wasn't going to believe the world's most ruthless, emotionless, powerful billionaire had fallen for a nerdy poor girl like her, she couldn't stop laughing on the inside at the thought. The girls at her college are much more beautiful than her, they have curvy bodies and wear dresses that fit in all the right places,

But why would Ricardo Delvour fall for a person like her?

Ever since Ricardo laid eyes on Klaire he couldn't stop thinking of her, it confused him more. When 'The Ricardo Delvour' sees a woman the only thought that comes to his mind is one, in bed. But when he saw Klaire it was something different,

How he found Klaire sexy in her club clothes which stuck to her body curving her sides more, he fell for her beauty more, and instead of seeing himself in bed with Klaire he found his dreams drifting off into a different perspective; he saw himself happy with Klaire; on a date, or a movie, he didn't even know if he could ever think of women this way, and what surprised him more was finding himself marrying the girl in his dreams.

He pictured a luxurious wedding at the world's most expensive reception hall, the guest lists flooding, the entire wedding live streamed across the news and media, and when the bells ring, with the bride walking down the aisle, he takes her wail off gently seeing only one face,

Klaire's.

He smiled as the thoughts invaded his mind making him leave reality for just a second, he couldn't help it. When he's alone; all he thinks about is Klaire, it was as if a life without her was not a life he didn't want to live in.

He faces her fully, walking up to her, Klaire backs up slowly with every step Ricardo takes until her back hits against the cold wall, his muscular frame towering over Klaire's fragile one, he tucks a single strand of her hair behind her ear, getting really close, Klaire tries to avoid him but it's no use, she is caged in-between his hands.

"All I know is to fuck. I don't know how to love or care" his breath brushes against Klaire's ear, as he sucks teasingly on her earlobe making her give out a silent moan which she covers up by biting her lower lip,

"Please" she croaks dryly, "please just let me go. I haven't finished college and I'm missing out on all my assignments" Klaire didn't know what to do, she knew a mafia king wouldn't bother about her education but it seemed like a good reason to plead,

"We can work out something" he surprised her and started moving his lips away from her earlobe and down her neck, his tender kisses marking her all over, everywhere her thin straps didn't cover, her back arched against the wall as he sucked on her weak spot, he smirked seeing how the smallest kiss could make her flinch, which only answered one of his many questions;

She's untouched, it only made him want to take Klaire more, strip her of her pureness and make her his, the only one he can touch, the only one he can taste, the only one he can fuck.

"Please stop" she begs as the tension in the room grows, tears spill out of her eyes as she imagines what the small kisses could lead to, Ricardo stops, raising his head to meet Klaire's teary eyes, he backs away hating the feeling of guilt which started to build up inside of him,

No one has made him feel this way, not even his own best friend. He has done emotionless things to women without a thought but suddenly when Klaire shouts the same pleading words women before her have pled, all of Ricardo's insides stop him.

He stares at her drenched face which makes him want to cry himself, the feeling of guilt and regret makes him feel weak, something his father never taught him to be. How can a woman as fragile as Klaire make him this weak?

It's all that ran through his head, so many feelings he can't describe just because of a single woman, he noticed Klaire's figure shaking slightly from side to side, and just as she's to faint Ricardo rushes to her catching her, he picks her up bridal style while Klaire stays unconscious in his hands, it takes him a good minute to realize the woman capable of being his downfall, unconscious in his arms,

He walks to the door opening it with his elbow going straight upstairs to his room, laying the sleeping Queen on his side of the bed he goes out to call the doctor who arrives in no time. The doctor attends to her immediately, checking her pulse and temperature.

"Seems like the girl fainted from lack of food. She should wake up in a few minutes, when she does make sure she eats something before she starts to walk around" the doctor advised,

"I'll make sure to have a plate in her room when she wakes up. Grazie per essere venuto _thank you for coming_" Ricardo thanked the doctor on his way out,

"nessun problems, call me if you have any doubts" _no worries_, the doctor says getting into his vehicle and driving off.

Ricardo walks straight to the attached kitchen where all the maids chill during their free time, when he enters; the entire room rises from their seats with their hands in front of them crossing, within split seconds a woman in her 50 appears in front of him,

"I want a lunch served to Miss Klaire in my room. Make sure she eats everything when she wakes up" he orders getting a nod from the women,

"Right away Monsieur" she says turning to the women in the room barking orders immediately,

Ricardo goes into his office to find Marcus seated waiting for him, he's wearing nothing but a suit, in his formal work wear, "everything alright?" he asks concerned as Ricardo takes his seat on his big chair in front of the long desk,

"She fainted because of her stubbornness" Ricardo huffs opening his laptop for his work,

"Oh, man! You've fallen for her haven't you?" Marcus asks catching Ricardo off guard. He didn't know how to answer, Ricardo could lie but get caught in the act or maybe he could just ignore the question which would only give Marcus his answer to his question,

"What are you talking about now?" he asks trying to sound irritated,

"You know exactly what I am talking about Ric, you, the world's most ruthless and emotionless person alive, finally have decided to settle down with a girl" Marcus fires not sounding convinced by his best friend's fake tone,

"Marcus if you aren't going to talk sense I suggest you go and deal with your work. Especially for tonight" Marcus knowing exactly what will happen if he continues with his topic leaves the office room but before he does,

"A little change won't hurt Ric. Especially if it's for the ones you love, trust me, the feeling is awesome" With that Marcus closed the door leaving Ricardo to rephrase his best friend's words.
