Lucas

Chapter three

Lucas as Mariano Di Viao

***
He looked over to the door then snapped his head back towards mine. Then back at the door, then back at me. He then sighed in frustration and put an arm under my legs and my back, picking me up bridal style. I gasped and squinted my eyes as he moved my leg. I think he noticed because he held me closer to his chest.

He then walks out the room with me in his arms. I'm still glaring at him as he walks down some stairs.

When we reach a room I look around, it's an office. There are stacks of books on shelves in one side of the room and on the other there is a large desk, then a couch kind of in the middle.

He sits me down on the desk, lowering his hands on my hips and looks me in the eye.

"Restare." I just glare at him, while studying his face. His beautiful green eyes watching me back.

I cross my arms over my chest with a huff. I probably look and act like a child this way but I don't really care. He was treating me like a baby so I was going to act like one.

I'm pretty sure he just told me to stay but I don't know where he thinks I'll go.

He gives a sly grin then makes his way out of the room. I look down at my hips, suddenly missing his large hands on them.

Shaking that thought, I push my hands down on the desk lifting my body up. I stand on the carpet for a moment balancing on my good leg. I then try to take a step while holding onto the black desk chair.

Yes! One step down, about a thousand more to go. Yay.

I sigh and close my eyes before taking another step. The pain was tolerable but I don't know for how long.

At least 5 minutes later I was proud of myself for taking about 6 more steps, dragging the desk chair with me so I wouldn't fall on my face, and was about to take another when the door swung open to an angry looking Lucas.

I grinned at him nervously and let out a small laugh, which was more like a puff of air.

My grin quickly disappeared when he came strutting towards me slamming the door behind him.

My eyes widened as he plucked me off the ground and pushed my body against his chest and I instantly wrapped my legs around his waists. I gulped and gazed at his narrowed eyes looking into mine.

He walked us out of the room and into another, the one I woke up in earlier. He didn't bother to turn the lights on, but slammed the door shut and locked it. He only walked in and went straight into the bathroom turning the lights on and locking the door behind him. He likes to lock doors.

The bathroom was large and had a huge bath tub with a gigantic shower next to it. He put me down in my feet and let go of me and looked down at me studying my face. I widened my eyes again knowing I would fall soon. I grasped for something as I was losing my balance but felt large hands wrap around my waist before I could fall. I grabbed his arms with a death grip.

He pulled me close to his chest. I sighed in relief in his chest. I swallowed hard and looked back up into his clear green eyes gazing down at me. His expression was unreadable, as usual.

He then brought me to the sink and moved my hand onto it for balance. He let go, leaving me standing on my own, then walked over to the shower and turned it on. I watched as he walked in front of me again and tugged on my shirt a little, looking at me with his eyebrows raised as if asking me permission. I said nothing, looking him in the eyes.
