LEIGH-ARI
The rest of the night was spent with the guys dominating my room with their noble presence, not wanting to leave even for a single second. In the end, I had to let them have their moment because fighting them was futile. They were like clingy toddlers. At least Lorr whined out loud, he mumbled and made funny sounds of disapproval when I stood to chase them out, but his twin, Verzi just pouted and went about with his business without sparing me a glare.
I have never seen such a thing ever. It was as if they had turned into different people, while still managing to be themselves. As much as it infuriated me, I found it amusing. And by now, I was used to them. Honestly. And I had long given up the idea of ‘personal space’. They did not know that term! At all!
After trying to kick them out and losing, I went to bed and they wasted no time climbing in on both of my sides, each taking their respective side. They didn’t budge or do anything, just crawled next to me and in a split second, their hot purrs were puffing up my neck, warming m e all night long
I laid still with their heavy heads resting on my shoulders, my mind retreated to the events of today. From finding out about the harem to discovering that the twins are not straight in the head. They truly weren’t! And the little friend I made today by the pools, such a sweetheart. She was only 8 and was going to one of the biggest private schools in town. She told me that his daddy disappeared and uncle Vernero told her she’s a princess and she will be living in the castle.
I didn’t need to be told to know how her father ended. It was right in front of us that he died in the hands of Vernero, but what warmed my heart was that he didn’t leave the little sweetheart to fend for herself. He took her under his big wing, and now the girl is living the life of her dreams. It’s unfair that her father was killed, but then, the word fair didn’t exist in Cattanio’s world. At all.
The last thing on my mind before sleep swallowed me was how happy I was with their annoying beings. In some weird crazy way, the twins made me happy.
The morning came by and I woke up alone on the bec. None of the twins was in bed and from how cold the sheets were, it was safe to say that they left during the dinosaur era. I yawned peacefully and got out of the bed for a small stretch. My arms felt like I was in a sparring match with none but Dwayne The Rock Johnson and he did a very good number on me.
Right when I was about to walk to the bathroom, there came a soft knock on the door.
“Who’s it?” I asked through yet another yawn.
“Ciello, ma’am.” What’s up so early?
“Come in Ciello.” The doorknob turned and the mountain heap of a man came in followed by a little lady behind her. She didn’t seem to be older than 30, and she was in a good shape. Good makeup, good curves, and posture.
“Ma’am, please meet Raquel. She is your personal maid and bodyguard. She will be at your disposal 24 hours in 7 days.” Wait, what?
“Huh? I didn’t ask for a maid. I am pretty fine with no maid and…”
“Apologies if I am no match for your interest Madam.” The lady proclaimed in a very thick heavy accent as she stepped forward and gave a small bow.
“No no no! It’s not like that. I am actually happy to meet you. Delighted to be exact. But I don’t need a bodyguard. Let alone a personal maid. There are tons of them here and really…”
“Ma’am, the jet will be leaving in an hour. The bosses are waiting for your arrival at the airport. Raquel is assigned to protect you without drawing attention in Dubai.” Ciello specified and then it all made sense.
“Ooooooh that? I said I wasn’t going. They forgot.” I chuckled and shook my head. The twins were so damn childish. But I knew that they didn’t forget,
“Ma’am, we were instructed to take you to the airport, and we are supposed to show up with you in a few minutes.”
“No really! I am not going. I am staying right here.” I wriggled my brows and waved my hand a t them. They looked at each other before giving one nod as if they were silently agreeing on something. That didn’t seem good at all. Especially because Ciello came charging at me and…
“Whooaaaa! What are you…. aaaaaaaaaah!” I screamed when he effortlessly picked me and tossed me on his shoulder like I weighed nothing, then proceeded to leave my room with me hanging on his shoulder like some sort of a prize.
“Ciello put me down,” I screamed and tried slamming my fists on his back. But this man was utterly unbothered by the act.
“I am sorry ma’am. I cannot!” He replied calmly, climbing down the stairs with me bouncingo n his shoulder.
Raquel came trailing behind us with my duffel bag stuffed with whatever she managed to put in the bag in less than 5 minutes.
“Vernero is going to kill you if this gets out,” I whined still hanging on the shoulder,
“We will ask for forgiveness.” Raquel chimed in and I threw her a stink eye. How dare they do this to me.
Upon arriving in the parking lot, Raquel opened the door for Ciello, who then threw me to a
seat and strapped me with some velcro-like thingy that was taped from my shoulder to my wrists, binding my hands on my chest.
“You are going to regret this.” I seethed as he got in the driver’s seat and started the ignition, then drove off with me seeing red in the back seat. The drive to the airport was filled with me preaching of how Vernero was going to cook them in a pot of a green concoction with the rest of the scary spiders. But none of that talk made them change the direction and drive me back to the castle.
At the airport, there was a huge aircraft already waiting. A private jet with big bold black letters engraved on it:
CATTANIO
The twins were standing outside in their suits, there were a few unfamiliar men as well as Valerie on the far left of the group. and they were all watching as Ciello opened my door, then threw me on his shoulder yet again.
I didn’t stop my screaming, but that fell on deaf ears as none came to my rescue.
Inside the jet, Ciello once again strapped me on the seat and buckled me up, then stood up, gave a small bow, and then left. Instead of crying, I laughed. That was all I managed to do because dang! What could one do in this situation?
I glanced down at my bare thighs to find myself wearing nothing but a shirt. A man’s black shirt with a strong scent of musk, wood, and rain forest. How had I not noticed this? The shirt belonged to one of the twins. But how? When? Because last night when I went to bed, I was wearing my PJs, safe knee-length cotton pants, and a cute top. How did I end up in a man’s shirt? Just how? And I was barefoot! I didn’t even get a chance to put them on before Ciello whisked me and ran away with me. I didn’t even brush my teeth. Goodness!
“You let other men see you in that?” The oh-so-normally cold voice boomed right above my head. I rolled my eyes before raising my head to look at him, and there he was, handsomely and angrily glaring down at me like I had stolen his favorite candy.
“First of all, who put me in this?” That seemed to have caught him off guard because his eyes widened for a second, and then his brows furrowed deeply and he turned to look out the window and cleared his throat. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Guilty as charged?” I asked arching a brow.
“Are you comfortable?” He shamelessly changed the topic on the spot and gave me a hard stare.
Bastard!
“If this looks comfortable to you, then yeah sure. I feel like I am floating on a soft cloud.” I said after gesturing to the hard black straps that had me in the good handle.
“You should be obedient.” He said softly like that was to solve my problems.
“See? That’s the problem. I am supposed to obey everything that you guys say like a good dog. But you give no damn about how I feel.” I fired back and his features hardened. Did this guy hate the truth? Why was he always angry whenever I told him his sins?
“Kiss me!” What?
“W-what?” I stammered, maintaining eye contact seemed to be impossible all of a sudden.
“I want you to kiss me.” He called out again, plainly, like he didn’t just ask me to jump off a cliff.
“I-I… Haaaaaah! You think….”
“Kiss him, Tesoro, then kiss me after that.” His evil kindred spirit from hell joined in on my torment. I knew he wouldn’t miss out, not in this lifetime or the next! He on the other end walked past his twin and came to perch himself right beside me, then the two hawk-eyed me.
“I haven’t brushed my teeth guys, let alone have a bath. My mouth stinks.” I tried to reason with them,
“It doesn’t matter. I want to kiss you. And so does Verzi.” Lorenzo said as he raised his hand and placed it on my bare thigh, then ghostly dragged it upward. My breathing hitched when I watched it disappear inside the small seam of the dress shirt until it brushed teasingly on my clothed honeypot, tearing a moan out of me.
“Fuck!” Vernero cursed and then leaned down, then roughly captured my lips into his hot mouth and started sucking on my bottom lip. The feeling of his hot tongue moving aggressively on my lips and Lorenzo’s hand that was manipulating both my body made me weak in the knees.
“You taste nice. Like vanilla ice cream.” Verzi pulled back and licked his lips as if he has just eaten his favorite convection.
“And I want that taste too,” Lorenzo exclaimed and hurriedly turned my head to the side, all I managed was a yelp before he quickly muffled all of my cries into his mouth and gently made love to my mouth. He kissed me unhurriedly, gently tugging on my bottom lip and then licking it. When he was done, he pulled back with just an inch and smiled against my lips,
“Breathe, Tesoro! Breathe!” With that, he got up and adjusted the huge bulge in his pants. It was then I was able to open my airways and take in a huge gulp of air. I was no virgin but heck! These men knew how to command my body.
“There’s a shower in the bedroom, go sleep and you will shower when you wake up.” Lorenzo said gesturing to the back of the plane.
“But I want to bath now.” I contradicted trying to get up, only to be put back in place by the straps.
“It’s a long flight, Tesoro. You need to rest.” Vernero stamped the words and I knew it was
final, I wasn’t allowed to repudiate at all. But what the hell just happened?
