The Joestar Protector Book 1

Captured

The pain was the first thing I felt as I started to wake up. My head hurt really bad. I opened my eyes and sat up instantly recognizing that I was not outside anymore and the room I was in was unfamiliar to me. I felt the back of my head and felt a bump underneath my H/c hair.

   ' Great, I've always wanted a bump on my head. '

I stood up and looked out of the window that was in the room. It was still dark outside and I noticed I was in Poco's village. The interior of the room was elegant and classy. If the sunlight could enter the room during the day it would highlight the room and its beauty. I walked towards the door and turned the handle. It was unlocked. I stepped into the hallway and started looking around. I admired the interior but I kept watch of my back. I continued to walk down the hall until I found a door. I turned the handle and walked inside, I saw a fireplace that was lit on one side of the room. Then I saw a long chair and a small table sitting in the middle of the room. I didn't notice anyone in the room or hanging from the ceiling. I walked towards the window and looked to see how high up I was.

   " That's too high for my liking. " I whispered to myself.

   " But it is to mine. "

I turned around and saw Dio laying on his side on the cushions of the couch. He was holding a red rose in his hand and he held a small smile on his face. He was leaning his head on his hand and was gazing at the rose. The fire highlighted his blonde hair and gold eyes. I got in a stance to fight and Dio only chuckled, focusing his gaze on me.

   " My love, please don't start a fight between us. I do not wish to harm you. "

   " You can't say that when you sent a minion of yours to give me a bump on my head. " I said standing up straight and crossing my arms over my chest.

   " Yes, I did not like that he injured you, but he has been taken care of for it. "

   " Geez. "

Dio stood up from the couch and walked towards me with the rose in his hand.

   " A rose for a rose. "

   " Even after all this you still use those sly words of yours. "

   " Only for you, my love. "

He tucked the rose in my hair, behind my ear. I attempted to take a step back but I was only met with the window behind me. Dio gently, grabbed my waist to pull me closer and his other hand rested under my chin.

   " My love, I can hear your heart beating fast. Are you scared, nervous, or are you embarrassed? "

   " Take a guess. Let me go. "

   " I'm sorry to tell you that I won't be letting you go anytime soon. I believe I told you that I detest seeing you with JoJo. I missed your touch. "

He moved his head to my forehead and smiled. To anyone else, this would look like a romantic scene between two lovers.

   " Then I shocked you with my Hamon. "

   " Yes, about that, I noticed that your Hamon did not Harm me as JoJo's does. Is it because you were holding back your power? "

   " ... "

   " You were. "

   " Dio, as I said it's hard to see you like this. I've known you since we were children and then after disappearing I thought you changed but it seemed I was wrong. "

   " You still have feelings for me. "

   " Dio-"

   " I remember I asked to court you and you denied me saying you were not ready yet. Then years later I asked again but JoJo came between us. Now, I'm not giving you the choice. "

   " Dio you can't do that. "

I pushed his hand off of my cheek and started to move away from him but he was too strong for me to just push away. He held my waist tighter with both of his hands.

   " I am doing this for your own protection. If you've forgotten only a Joestar can activate that birthmark on your lower neck and I do not want JoJo near you with that power. "

   " He would never touch my birthmark. "

   " Not on purpose he wouldn't. He is forgetful some times and he will press it one day without thinking. Then, you'll be gone until a grandchild of his appears. I am not letting him touch you. I will not take the risk of his fingers touching that birthmark.

His tight on my waist was getting tighter. My hands went to his and I tried prying his hands off of my waist.

   " Dio, you're hurting me. "

   " I apologize. "

He let go of my waist but instead picked me up with inhuman speed. He carried me to the couch and sat me down. A blanket was wrapped around me and I was pulled into his chest.

   " It's cold tonight, you need to stay warm. "

   " Dio, how do you still care for me after all this? I've denied you and denied you and now you're holding the enemy. "

   " I treat you like this because I am in love with you. "

   " W-What? "

   " Ah, I've missed that awestruck face of yours. Especially when you would turn red. "

I felt my cheeks and realized that I was blushing. Dio leaned back and rested his hand on the lavish couch with me lying on top of him.

   " The interesting thing about love, my lady, is that once you are in love with someone you don't stop loving them. You can't stop loving them. I have loved you ever since I left that coach and kissed your hand. I knew you were not like every other girl that was around. So, I tried my hardest to redirect your attention to me and not JoJo, it seemed to have worked until JoJo was enraged with what I did. "

His fingers ran through my hair and his other hand rested on my lower back. The blanket now covered my entire body and his until it reached my shoulders that rested on his chest.

   " I, Dio Brando, am in love with you Y/n. I know you still hold some feelings for me. I know you do. "

   " Dio-"

   " So, please..."

His hand left my hair and held my chin, softly. My head was tilted up to be face to face with his.

   " Let me take care and love you. Become my lady. "

   " Dio..."

He pulled my face closer and closer to his, he leaned his face down to come closer to me. I felt his breath on my lips.
