The Don's Daughter: Love & Betrayal

Forty Seven

Carina

"Ugh why are you here?"

"I came to see you. How have you been?"

"Peachy Chris. Can't you tell?" I went to take a shower and when I came out, he was in my room. Lounging on my bed as if he belongs there. Looking at him now, I wonder how we slept together on it all night without me ending up on the floor. He's so huge that he occupies almost all of it.

"Come on amore. You can't still be mad at me"

"I wasn't until you showed up yesterday and ruined my plans"

"Which were what exactly?" he asks. It makes me mad that there is humor laced in his voice.

"Selling off that asshole so he'd know what it felt like to be in those girl's positions"

"I'm sorry to say but I don't think his type is in demand anywhere on the market"

"Please, have you met me? I would have combed the earth to find someone who'd buy him"

"Yeah, if there's anyone who can do that, I believe it's you"

"Damn right. Now get your ass out of my room" I tell him heading to the closet. I'm three months pregnant and even though I haven't started showing, most of my clothes are a bit too tight. So I've been wearing sweats and some of the T-shirts he left behind.

"Not long ago this used to be our room"

"Is that why you're here? To reminisce about the past?"

"Carina, it hasn't even been a week yet. You can't call it the past"

"I...." a wave of dizziness hits me suddenly and I have to hold on to one of the shelves to stay upright. All of a sudden Chris is beside me, scooping me into his arms and carrying me back to the room.

"You shouldn't exert yourself too much. Does it hurt anywhere? Should I take you to the hospital?" he asks placing me on the bed. For a guy so big he sure is fast.

"I'm fine. I just felt a little dizzy"

"Carina" he calls in a warning voice "Don't say you're okay when you're not"

"I mean it. I'm fine. Just get me something to wear" I feel vulnerable lying here naked while he's fully dressed.

"Why? Are you planning on going out?"

"No. But I can't walk around naked now. Can I?" his eyes give me a once over. The towel wrapped around me isn't that big so it barely covers anything "Stop looking at me like that"

"Like what Carina? Like I want to taste every inch of your body? Is that what you mean?"

This is the reason I told him to move out. He has a way of making me forget everything so that I'm only thinking about him and his hands and lips on my body. His heat of his stare burns through me, leaving goosebumps everywhere his eyes touch. Okay, maybe I'm not mad at him anymore. I've never had makeup sex before but I hear it's quite hot. The desperation one has for their lover because they were apart for so long heightens everything.

"You're thinking about it. Right?" he whispers hovering above me "How good it'll be if you forgive me and give in. Remember how good my tongue feels on you? Between your legs?"

Swallowing I say "Stop being a creep and get me something to wear or leave me alone" I guess my indifference to his words work, because he straightens and walks to the closet. If I show him how weak I am when it comes to him, there's a chance he'll use it against me in the future. He needs to understand that to be in a relationship, we can't lie to each other. Again, I know how hypocritical that is but my secret isn't the same as his. If he'd told me Giovanni was my father, nothing would have changed. What I'm keeping will change everything so I need to find a way to make sure it comes out only when the time is right.
