In The Enemies Arms

Unfolded

CLARA

I decided to change out of my jeans and get into Leo's bed. His room was masculine and minimal. The dark blues in his room contrasted his lively eyes, it smelt just like him in here, his usual sea breeze scent flushed the room. Inhaling, I took in his fresh smell, I enjoyed the soothing feeling it gave my body.

Standing from the bed I shed my jeans and shirt, only sporting my black underwear in the hopes I would find a shirt of Leo's. I was sure he wouldn't mind, if he did mind he wouldn't have brought me here. His room was untouched by anyone, I had never seen or heard of anyone else entering his room. It was as if it was untouched holy ground, yet I had trespassed.

Pulling open the draws I found an abundance of shirts, I settled for a black one. Slipping it over my head, I grabbed the TV remote and hopped into his bed. This felt so familiar to me, it reminded me of the times Amelia and I would go to Salv's after school.

'Hey Salv can I pinch a shirt from you?' asked Amelia whilst she searched his wardrobe. Amelia and I loved stealing Salv's clothes. They were fashionable and oversized, just how we liked it. 'its not like I have a choice is it Amelia' he said rhetorically whilst rolling his eyes.

This was nothing out of the ordinary for Salv. We would go round his house on Friday after school and marathon some movies before going home or heading out to party. It was tradition. 'sorry Salv but I love your shirts' said Amelia absolutely starstruck. She took down a jumper from the hanger in absolute awe.

'Uh-Uh!' shouted Salv 'you are definitely not taking this, tops are over there in the draw. nice try bitch' he smirked at Amelia's failed heist. I was lying on his bed indulged in my phone, I was currently texting Alexander.

'what you up to this weekend?' -Alex

'I don't plan on anything other than doing some homework'- Clara

'I was wondering if you would want to come to my game tomorrow? if thats cool with you'- Alex

I blushed profusely, Alex had asked me out, more importantly to his football match. The girls who sat and watched the guys play football were usually the players girlfriends. 'what you blushing at?' Salv accused narrowing his eyes at me. 'Nothing!' I blurted out too quickly before discarding my phone and getting under his covers

I was too busy day dreaming aimlessly that I didn't even realise that Leo had entered the room. He cleared his thick throat grabbing my attention and to my pleasure he stood bare with a towel wrapped around his waist agonisingly low. My stomach stirred in desire as I watched him like a hawk

'Sweets if you keep staring at me like that I'll fuck you right by that window over there' he grinned at my flushed cheeks. His dirty mouth was something I loved and hated, it set me alight but it was also embarrassing to know that he knew of my desire towards him. He turned away from me, slipping on his boxers whilst I looked at my hands to avoid staring at his nakedness.

Lifting the duvet, his warm body slid in next to mine pulling me flush against him. 'Look at me dolcezza' he said whilst lifting my chin to look at him. 'sei la creatura più bella che abbia mai visto' he murmured in his mother tongue. Kissing my nose he smiled at me in pure happiness

I was both happy and confused. I enjoyed the positive attention he gave me, he made me feel warm and loved which I of course adored. Yet doubt lingered in the air, what was I to him? was I another quick fuck or did he actually want me around? My anxiety set in causing me to sit up abruptly

'sorry Leo but I shouldn't be here...' I started off as I pulled my jeans up off of the floor. Yet his strong arms grabbed me pulling me into his embrace. 'whats wrong sweets?' he consoled pulling me back into the comfort of the king sized bed.

'nothing I just should really go, this is hardly appropriate...' I said searching those wondrous eyes. 'why whats wrong sweets? and you better not lie to me' he ordered as he sat up in the bed, with a face full of concern.

'I don't want to be a play thing... thats all I've ever been.' I murmured in shame. Bile filled my throat, this was a walk down memory lane. All those times I was beaten and hurt, when I was left in the ashes. I didn't want to go through that again because this time I wasn't sure I would survive it.

'I've spent all my life being someones pet, someones quick fuck... I don't want that, I don't want to be your next conquest Leo.' I stared into his eyes, mine full of emotion his blank. His face looked far away, as if it wasn't even connected in this moment. 'This was a bad idea, I'm so sorry.' I swing my legs off the bed, this time without any resistance from Leo.

Pulling on my jeans, I swiftly started to grab my belongings. I needed out of this room. Darting to the door I opened it only for it to be pushed back closed. 'Sit your ass down' Leo glared at me menacingly. He seemed so annoyed, I didn't understand why though, he was silent the whole time I voiced my doubts

Slowly retreating I walked back over to the edge of the bed, where he sat in front of me on the chair by the window. With his strong chin between his rough fingers, he stared at me longingly. 'non ti lascerò mai andare principessa'

'I care about you Clara' he sighed like he was in pain 'Jesus sweet Lord I care about you too much, its driving me fucking crazy' he stated truthfully. 'I want-no need you. Ever since you came  through that door I've wanted you and now' he breathed heavily almost scared to admit his feelings to me

'Now, I want you differently' His blue eyes were wild now, rabid with lust and compassion. 'Yes, I do want to fuck you into oblivion. Yes I do want to claim your sweet little pussy and let it clench over my long tongue' His dirty words made my cheeks turn red instantly, and my legs clenched together in ache

'But, I want to love you, care for you, hold you. I saw what you was when you cried a river into my shoulder that day. I would never hurt you like that. I will always try my best for you Bella. Angelina aveva ragione' The mention of that forbidden name made my interest peak, a frown covered my face

'w-who is Angelina?' I asked timidly almost scared of his reaction. A deep sigh left his delicious lips, distracting me for a millisecond. He sat back in the chair preparing himself for the story he was to tell.

'Angelina was my childhood sweetheart. I guess you could say I loved her but I was just a kid then...' he cleared his throat which was scratched with raw emotion. 'we were together for a year and a half, she was beautiful. Her hair was blonde and her eyes lively, she didn't deserve what happened to her' He hung his head low now, almost in shame.

Moving towards him, I sat on his lap, pulling his head into my chest in comfort. I don't know what happened but the pain is written all over her face. 'it should have been me, i should have died that day' he complained. 'no, no, no. Don't say that Leo, if you had died then I would have never had you' I whispered into his hair. 'you mean so much to me, this club means so much to me. You saved me from hell itself'

'Angelina was shot, your fathers club ambushed us one day. I had only just joined the club then, I had been patched for a year and a bit. Her father used to be apart of the club but he died. She stuck around because this was her family' he confessed

'when she left, she didn't just leave me, she left everyone. More importantly she left Armz...'
'Armz?' Was there something I was missing? If Leo loved her how did her death have such a toll on Armz?
'Angelina was Armz baby sister....'
