The Mafia's Bride (Book 2)

Chapter 15

My eyes slowly peeled open, the light blinding causing me to quickly shut them.  I groaned, a cloud of confusion over my head.  Where was I?  What happened to me?  My eyes flickered open again, my head was throbbing along with my body. My hand slowly went to my forehead and I groaned again.  My body was stiff so I turned over and spread all over the bed as a way to stretch. My eyes then moved to the white walls then the closed door; I was in my room.

I relaxed and took a deep breath and that is when I heard the voices; someone was shouting angrily, we're they shouting at me?  Carefully I sat up, wanting to see if I was in trouble.  My eyes carefully adjusted at a man who sat at the couch at my living room.  I sat up straight with some difficulty and saw that there was a laptop placed on his lap where the voices we're coming from.  The man was wearing a baby blue golf t-shirt and black shorts, his hair was combed neatly to the back. The man was sitting back, relaxed, with his arm support by the edge of the couch.  He didn't talk but just stared to the screen, his eyes did not flicker to me as I stared at him.

"You are just sitting there at that castle of yours while we are here scared of our own shadow," an angry manly voice came from the laptop.

"Just last night Alex's state house was burned down to the ground but you are not doing anything about it." Another angry voice came through.

"I am leaving everything and going into hiding, I cannot wait for you to get off your ass and find this person who is trying to kill us all." I heard another panicked voice say.

"You are quite useless Klaus, why are you not doing anything.  People fear you but if only they know what a coward you are." A voice I think recognized came through.  They were all scared and angry.

Klaus just kept his cool whilst I was shaking my head in disagreement.

"All we know it could be you the person who is trying to kill us, wanting to run the whole mafia by yourself like your father.  I heard you have Rafael's girl at your house.  We know you wanted her from the start so who to start with other than the man who was keeping that little tramp. You are not doing anything about this, you just sitting there enjoying while we suffer." Another one said causing all the others to hum in synch agreeing with the man who just spoke.
There was a pause, I thought Klaus had cut the video call but then he opened his mouth " say whatever you say gentlemen and do whatever you do.  You are all grown men,  I am not going to baby sit you and if you call her a tramp one more time I will hunt you down wherever you are hiding and feed you to your own dogs." With that he cut the call, shut his laptop and stood up from where he was sitting.

I sat on my bed staring at him, my hands grabbing on the throw-blanket to my chest. When he was near, I found myself asking "Why do they all want you to do something, why are they not doing anything and just looking up at you?"

He sat next to me, at the edge of the bed and turned to look at me.  I started to feel uneasy as his eyes held mine.

"That is because they named me the head Capo, they want me to baby sit them and I will not do such a thing. "He said still looking at my eyes making me nervous.

"Why didn't you tell them that you are doing something, that you captured the man who killed Rafael?" I asked at him.

He took a long pause studying me, studying my face.  "Because I do not have anything valuable to say to them.  I do not know the person who is trying to kill us and that is what they are interested in. "he said.
I finally could not look at his eyes anymore, they were sharp and I felt like he could see my soul with them.  I looked down at my chest and played with my fingers.  A hard yet gentle hand was placed under my chin and slowly he raised me head to look at his face.  He was near now, I could feel his hot breath on my skin, could see the tiny twitch of his lower lip.  For a moment I thought he would kiss me, I did not know if I would allow it but there was something exciting about the thought of being kissed by him. The feel of his lips against my own, it seemed magical.

"Do you trust me Harley?" He said my name and goose bumps went all over my body, the way it slip past his tongue.  I swallowed hard, just staring at those lips which were slightly parted.  He was closer now, so close all it took was one move.

"Yes," I said in a low tone our lips an inch away.  My whole body was slightly quivering from the anticipation of what was going to happen next.  My fingers twitched, wanting to run their way through his neatly combed hair, my skin wanting to feel the sensation of the touch of his skin.  Slowly my eyes went up to his and finally they locked.  He knew what I wanted and I knew what he wanted, we both wanted the same thing.  His eyes were full of desire I felt my lower region dampen.  I went my lips with my tongue and his eyes did not fail to capture the movement, his eyes stayed there for a second before they flickered back to mine.

He then moved, his skin brushing on mine, it was electric and I shame fully found myself closing my eyes and pushing more on him.  His strong hands then grabbed the back of my head causing me to lowly gasp as his fingers slipped through my silky hair to my scull then down to the back of my neck. My whole body tingling responding to his touch.
His hot breath caressed my ear and I could not hold it back, I shivered in his hold, aching for more. My lower region dampened even more as I curled into him, his chest against mine, and his hand on my arm with the other on my nape.

"You shouldn't, " he simply said with his low husky voice.  My favourite sound from now on leaving me weak on my knees.

Suddenly he withdrew his touch, moved from me and stood up turning. He walked away to the door as I stared at his back in disbelief, frustration, confusion and lust. He closed the door gently.
I threw my hands in the air after a few minutes, stared at the door secretly hoping that he would come back.  My body was still shivering from his touch.

"What are you doing to me?  "I said to thin air before I collapsed on the bed, laying on my back.  I touched my ear, where he whispered, with a smile on my face.
