His Mafia Queen

Chapter 12

Before I could understand what was going on, I was being carried on his shoulders like a sack of potatoes.

I started hitting his back, struggling to get off but he was not having any of it. He carried me as if I weighed nothing.

"Put me down" I screamed at his ears.

"Stop screaming and no, I won't put you down. Because the moment I do, you'll try running away and I don't want that to happen" he argued.

"Of course I would. I mean who wouldn't, when some man is kidnapping me?" I squeaked in the displeasure of being carried around.

"Fine, I am going to put you down. I hope you won't run. But if you do, I'll find you no matter what. And I have locked the entrance, so there is no way out" he said, slowly sliding me down.

As he set me down, I accidentally brushed past his certain anatomy and let me tell you, I could tell he was affected as much as I was. I smiled internally that I actually made an effect on him. I blushed at that thought at the same time.

"Do I have to know why you're blushing?" he asked slowly grasping my chin, making me look at him.

I could feel myself being lost in his eyes. I averted my gaze from him.

"Nothing. I was just thinking" I replied absentmindedly.

I can't imagine what I will do if I am left with him for the night. I am really attracted to this man. I can't help but worry what if I fall for him? I don't know him, his background, about his family and yet I can't help but feel safe around him. I have a feeling that I need him to be with me forever. But it's too soon.

I groaned.

"What is it?" He asked worriedly.

"Isn't this going fast?" I asked. 

I couldn't keep my thoughts to myself. I had to talk o him and clear things.

"I know but I am fine with it as long as you are comfortable. Say me, do you have any issues? Do I make you uncomfortable?" he asked, his voice a bit colder than usual.

"No you didn't and that's exactly what is bothering me. I have these feelings ever since we met and it's confusing me to no end" I replied truthfully.

"How about this Angel? You sleep through the night. When you wake up in the morning you'll be fresh and we can talk about it then. What do you say?" he asked

"I can do that"

"But before you sleep, are you up for the tour of the house? If you're interested that is" he said giving me his charming smile which made me smile back at him.

"Sure, I would love to" 

He came forward and pecked my forehead before taking my hand in his and lead me through the house. I smiled the entire time.

I must admit, this mansion was truly one of a kind. The interior of the house is focused around a large central hallway serving as the main avenue of traffic and entrance area to the adjacent rooms. The hallway flows into a large, wide staircase that provides the main means of egress from the entertainment area of the house to the private rooms on the second floor.

 We continued walking through the main hallway. To the right, is a small sitting room. The fireplace, situated on the interior wall facing east, has a tall mantel of birchwood with turned spindles flanking a rectangular mirror supporting a tapered hood. 

The ceiling is painted pressed metal with a curved crown moulding. The tall windows are of the Queen Anne style, banded at the top by a panel of coloured lights (blue, amber, purple, red). The height of the window is emphasized by a dado panel of wood with moulded trim beneath each window. This style of window is repeated throughout the fenestration of the main block of the house.
