Protecting The Principessa (Complete)

~ Chapter 56 ~

"This is what you want me to wear?" Izzy asked, tugging down the miniskirt that was riding up her thighs. Adriano had asked her for a date and when he told her he was going to the club, she wasn't sure that was a date. But he told her that she wasn't working, it was strictly playtime, and that went for him too. He had a private booth in the back corner for them with a select menu service and special waiting staff. His intent was to spoil her, and he wanted to. It had been two weeks since everything happened with Cesare, and she was still struggling to sleep at night.

So, with the announcement coming out in the newspapers about their marriage, he wanted to officially show the world she was his. Not that he expected to be bothered in his club, because he didn't. But he was going to have her out on the dance floor and he sure as hell intended to make sure she felt every little piece of him. So, as his eyes trailed over the black skirt that hugged her generous curves and the silver top that highlighted all her assets on top, he couldn't help but smirk.

"Yup, Izzy, that's exactly what I want you to wear." He had rummaged her closest, with her permission, of course, to find something for tonight. Since only he knew the plan, he couldn't rely on her to pick the outfit, and this was perfect. Especially with those four-inch, fuck me heels that she was wearing. God damn, he was craving her like no tomorrow. And when she walked out of that room with this outfit on, he wanted nothing more than to push her back in and fuck her senseless.

But he needed to do right by her. Give her a night of normal after everything she had gone through and what probably hadn't felt like normal at all. Besides, he wanted to show her off! He was proud of the woman on his arm, way better than the one he had before, and he wasn't going to hide his feelings. Somehow, somewhere along the way, she got under his skin, and though he wasn't sure he'd call it love, it was feeling pretty damn close. He just knew that he didn't want her in anyone else's arms but his and he saw a future for them he hadn't seen before.

With that thought, he pulled her along through the club and to the back VIP booth, all for them. She looked around and gave him a smile, shrugging as she stepped to the side. It wasn't the perfect date, but there were people here and they would get to see just how happy he was, and maybe shut their traps about what they thought he should or shouldn't be doing. Oh, he heard from enough of the guys; they were grumbling about Adriano's luck in landing the Don role, but none dared oppose him.

She bent over and laid her purse down, but his hand on her hip stopped her from moving. He stepped up behind her, his breath feathering over her neck as his hard cock rubbed against her ass, causing her to gasp. He loved that sound, loved that he could make her do that.

"What the hell?" she asked, quickly turning around. Her hand ran over his chest and down his stomach, cupping his dick through his pants. "And you wanted to leave when you have this problem? Let me take care of it for you!" The offer was tempting but he grabbed her wrist, stopping her from doing anything else.

"Not yet, baby. Now climb in, it's my treat to spoil you." He winked at her as she pouted but slid into the booth, enjoying that pout. She wasn't one who did it often, so it was endearing to see.

Two hours later, Izzy grinned as her diamond ring flashed in the disco light as she ran her hand through his hair. She had enjoyed the drinks and the food, and most certainly enjoyed being waited upon. Everyone had come up to ask if it was true that she was marrying the owner and if she had plans to quit. Even her manager came up. But no, she had no plans. She enjoyed working. She was also told, after they all left by Adriano, that he was going to have more men on the floor watching out for her. With the news spreading of his role, and now the news of her becoming his wife, she was going to have a bigger target on her back. She had to remind him that she knew how to take care of herself as well.
