Dangerous In Black (one)

Twelve

Greece

She awoke the next morning covered in a plush duvet and a smile when she assessed the room around her and heard the shower running. She was with Allegro and just the thought of that calmed her. She felt safe with him and well a number of emotions for him but she didn't need to get into that now. She lifted her eyes to the ceiling and sighed, sleepily. At the sound of the door to the bathroom opening Greece blushed at the half naked man in front of her.

Allegro stood with his towel dangerously low on his hips, low enough to see his defined v-line that would have made her swoon if she was standing. Due to always seeing him in dress shirts and suits, Greece had never seen his bare arms. There were tattoos covering both his muscular arms and Greece licked her lips as her eyes traveled slowly down his stomach. There was a skull tattoo on his right bicep that Greece wanted to touch. It wasn't just a plain skull but the detail of it interested her.

Her eyes continued their journey down his abs that seemed to be painted onto his stomach. Jesus. She whispered harshly under her breath. She finally met his eyes to see him smirking, "Mhm, are you done gawking?" He asked.
Greece blushed and covered her face with her comforter.
"So now you're embarrassed?" She could hear the amusement in his voice.
His voice was deep and masculine and she found herself even more attracted to the Italian.

Greece hummed a response as she covered her face with the sheets to avoid him. When she peeked again he was buttoning his shirt and tightening his belt.
"Are you hungry?" He asked finishing up by combing his hair back neatly.
She nodded her head and climbed off the bed walking towards the door.
"Woah woah! No you don't!" Allegro took two large steps that had him now standing between her and the door.

"You're not walking out if my room in only a shirt and panty!" He announced.
Greece blushed as she realized what she was wearing, "I told you mio amore only I have the honor of seeing you so bare" his husky tone made her shiver.
"There should be a small sweat pants in one of those drawers, borrow one."
Greece rolled her eyes, found the pants and put them on, "mhm better?" She asked.

Allegro looked thoughtful, "much." He smiled cheekily, before placing a hand on her lower back and steadying her as they left the room. Thankfully they were alone when they entered the kitchen and both her and Allegro set to work to make breakfast as Allegro had mentioned he'd given the maids the day off. It wasn't till most of the pancake mix was done that someone walked in.
"Smells great in here." The voice said.
Greece turned to see either Alessando or Arturo, she didn't know who was who.

She watched as his eyes widened at the sight of her, "Greece you're back!" He exclaimed smiling.
He made a move towards her and Allegro who was close to her stepped a little in front her body blocking her from the other man approaching.
Greece saw Alessando/Arturo raise their hands up in defense, "No need to get possessive fratello"
She heard Allegro scoff, "I don't need any of you fuckers wanting to scare her away again!"

He put his hands up again, "Hey listen I had nothing against Greecey" She cringed at the nickname but smiled none the less, "Plus this place needed at least one woman, too much testosterone."
Allegro rolled his eyes, "Shut the hell up Alessando!"
Alessando! Greece thought she would have gone crazy if she didn't figure out which twin it was.
Alessando found himself at the table with his arm across the back of the chair beside him.

"So fratello, since you've broken the rule— and you're the capo.... does that mean I can bring home, you know my..."
She heard Allegro growl behind her, "The rule still stands you cannot bring your conquests here! Not now not ever!"
Alessando began to rebut, "—but...."
She turned to see Allegro frown, "Greece is not to be compared to any whore you or our brothers want to fuck!"

She saw Alessando's eyes widen, "Wait....... you and Greece....." she saw him smirk.
"Mhm fratello....." Alessando shook his head, "who knew you'd be the first to be pussy whipped."
Suddenly Greece felt his warmth close behind her and she leaned into him automatically. She saw Alessando's eyes travel between the two and he nodded in understanding, sincerity in his eyes.
"Ti prometto fratello, la proteggerò con la mia vita."
(I promise brother, I'll protect her with my life.)

Allegro nodded in response, "So will I." She suddenly felt his hand on her hip.
Greece suddenly wondered what the hell was just spoken but didn't ask as both brothers nodded towards each other before sitting down to eat their breakfast. It was only a little while later that the other twin entered into the kitchen.

Arturo locked eyes with her and a small smile flew onto his lips, "Good morning Greece."
She smiled at him, "Hello."
The men talked amongst themselves mostly in English so Greece could understand and then when the door opened for a third time she felt nervous. What was Alejandro going to do? How would he react to her being there now?
She gulped nervously when he fully stepped into the room, and she knew Allegro had seen her tense as he clasped his hand over hers.

But as she took a good look at him so saw the bruises. On his cheek and his lip busted, she turned to Allegro who was looking at his brother.
Did Allegro.... hit him?
Suddenly his stormy grey eyes met hers and a cold facade came over him and Greece looked away. She watched as he sat at the table,
"Where are the maids?" His voice was bitter.

"They got the day off." Allegro answered.
Alejandro scoffed, "Why?"
"Because I gave them the day off."
He scoffed again, "You're just doing whatever you want now aren't you!"
Allegro tensed, "I'd advise you to watch your tone."
He shook his head, "Breaking the rules for your own benefit!"
Allegro went from zero to one hundred real quick slamming his fist down on the table, "Choose your next words carefully..." he warned.

Alejandro shook his head, "There should be no civilians in this house or on this compound except for people who work for us!"
He shot daggers at Greece and she shifted uncomfortably in her seat, she hadn't wanted to cause trouble or a rift in the brothers relationship.
"You forget fratello, I'm in charge so since you're such a stickler for rules here's the new one!"

"Anyone of us who finds another worthy of our protection or affections," his eyes wandered to Greece, "They can stay on the compound."
Greece looked at the brothers, the twins both nodded but as her eyes met Alejandro she knew he wasn't pleased.

"You're fucking lucky I'm a stickler for rules Allegro or else you wouldn't still be the leader." He stood up and slammed the door loudly at his exit.
