-The Law-

The French Mafia

Isadora
After dinner, my mother insisted Dante and I practice our wedding dance as it was tradition for the bride and groom to perform a dance together. She insisted we were to learn Tango because she'd danced that style on her wedding as well.

Tango is a very passionate dance but fortunately for her there's nothing passionate about me and Dante.

"No, stop stop. You're doing it wrong, you have to feel it Mija, you're just moving your body as if instructed to. Feel the music and the connection between your partner" my mom interrupts us as we try again for the 3rd time tonight, she takes this as though her life depends on it with her sitting in front of us to judge.

We start from the top again, my one of my leg stretched out and the other bent with Dante's arm around my upper back. His touch is soft, gentle but if not for him being the devil in disguise, some part of me would actually enjoy this.

He hoists me up, spinning me around before returning to our previous position. He spins me around again but this time my bent leg meets one of his, hooking it around his as he hold me close to him, spinning us around. To follow, he dips me down with my leg still hooked around his which makes my hip dig into his abdomen given our height difference.

All in one motion he brings me back up again, my entire body melting against his as he holds me tighter before releasing his grip so that he's holding one of my hand up and my other around his shoulder as I move my legs alongside my hips in a swift movement, almost like twisting and turning my lower body only.

He spins me again so that my back is pressed on his front with an arm stretched behind us interlocking with mine, and the other pressed on my waist meeting my other. We move in a synchronized rhythm across the room before both his hands fly down to my torso, spinning me before going into the normal position as if wanting to slow dance.

In this position we move back and forth in a rhythmic pattern before he spins me out from his hold and only holding me with one grip of his hand. He finally lets me go, turning around swiftly as I dance, swaying my hips before reaching from behind to place my palms on his chest alongside leaning onto him, grazing my now folded leg onto one of his as he welcomes it by letting his hand guide it up more.

He lets go immediately as do I so that he turns around, moving towards me while I move back. My legs move back in a decreasing manner so that one of my knee is on the floor making me look up to him before he bring me back up by my throat just to spin me again. He stop me from spinning by hoisting me backwards by my head between his arm so that my head is behind his back and my back is bent.

He lets me go again only to pull me back on him against his hard rock body by my torso and that is when it ends. I don't think twice to pull away from him quickly as I turn to my mother, my chest heaving up as I appear out of breath.

A big smile forms on her face as she claps cheerfully.

"That was better! Very well done, we'll practice again tomorrow I know you both must be tired. I'll let you go to bed now"

"I have a hotel booked not too far from here-" Dante manages to say before my mom interrupts him

"Nonsense, you'll sleep here with your fiancé" my stomach churns at her response, I've never shared a bed with a man let alone someone like Dante. I almost throw up at the thought of his actions he'd present when alone with him.

"It's okay Mama he could stay in any of the guest rooms"

"No, I want you both to be comfortable in this house, no sneaking around in the night so please. I'll ask someone to get your things" she raises her hand as a form to shun me but who's going to tell her I only feel comfortable when he's far away from me

She doesn't wait for anymore objections as she heads for the stairs, leaving me and him alone.

Great.

We both don't utter a word and if I didn't know better, I'd say he doesn't seem open to the idea as well. As we walk back into my room, unease settles down while I put some distance between us.

I walk into my closet, shutting the door to get changed into silk shorts with its matching top as well. By the time I came out, a suitcase is at a side of my room while he's seated on the chair in nothing but sweat pants which reveals his toned upper body and tattoos on specific areas.

The chair is directly across from the closet which allows him to take a good look at me as I do him.
I swallow hard, coming into realization before walking up to my bed.

Grabbing one of my many pillows, I place it at the centre of the bed.

"Stay on that side and If you try anything I will scream"

"I won't rape you if that's what you're leading on to" he snarls almost disgusted with a hint of insult, his eyes never leaving mine as I lower myself onto the soft mattress. I wait for him to join but he doesn't, he seats there until my eyes starts to get heavy and I let the darkness come onto me.

Letting me become vulnerable.

~~~

I shoot up from my bed with the sound of shuffling noises echoing through the room. Looking aside expecting to see it occupied by Dante only to find it empty, I look ahead where I last saw him on the chair, his expression drawn into worry as I realize he's sleeping.

I look down to my bedside table to take a look at the time which reads, 2:35 am. He shifts again making me snap my gaze back to him hoping he'd woken up.

"Dante?" I call out but he twitches in response and nothing more. His muscular arms are folded over his chest looking somewhat uncomfortable sleeping like that which makes me contemplate waking him up to sleep on the bed.

I swallow hard before throwing the cover off me, making my way down to his level. Drawing my shaky hand to touch his smooth skin which forces him to flinch hard making me suck in a sharp breath as I pull my hand back.

Remembering the last time I tried waking him up, I walk over to my couch with a blanket on it only to grab it, spreading it across his body before running to my bed again where I could finally breathe.
