34 - Accepting his Terms

He saw Teresa frustratedly sigh, rubbing her forehead. "It is only an issue if you allow yourself to care Tesoro"

"Well damn it, I do care!" She slammed her hand on the table and his eyebrow raised not by what she did, but what she said.

"Oh?" He questioned, "You care for him?" His eyes narrowed and she could easily decipher his tone and it was clear it was quite possessive and threatening.

"Don't start" She said, remembering how possessive he got when he saw her and Adriano.

"That didn't answer my question" He said and she sighed. "Yes I do"

Luciano, sat back in his chair, clearing his throat and sighing, not knowing what to do with the information. He tilted his head, looking her up and down and grinned.

"You're so far away Tesoro. Come here"

Teresa who stood on the opposite of the table, quickly declined making him chuckle saying, "I wasn't asking"

"Good because I still say no" She said, sassy like and his eyebrow raised, placing his arms on the arms of the chair, displaying more of his body from the opening of his shirt, never dropping eye contact only intensifying it. The blackness of his shirt, the darkness of his eyes, the assertiveness displayed in his tone, his face, all factors that made him threateningly intimidating. Almost like he had a dark aura surrounding him, engulfing her.

And she found herself submitting to this sexy Devil. She pouted, walking over to him, standing between his legs. Luciano sat up, his hands sliding down her waist to her hips and trailing behind, cupping two handfuls of her ass, harshly gripping her.

"Tell me Tesoro" He grinned, "Why is it you care for every other man's feelings except for mine?"

Once again, her mouth dropped and she mugged him, causing him to smack her ass hard, making her wince. "I do care"

"Do you?" He questioned and she bit her lip, nodding. "You see, I recall you constantly nagging me about my feelings towards you and then I show them. However, you leave the next day with Adriano, entertaining him. I've come to terms that it is ultimately my fault you two have grown rather attached to each other due to my absence. But even then, you chose him over me when all I wanted was to hold you in my arms, hear your soft stable breathing indicating how great, how peaceful you sleep when you're with me. Now you're here in my face, confessing your feelings for yet another man and yet..." He stood up, bringing his lips down to her ear, kissing her lobe, his fingers digging harshly in her ass, as he squeezed her.

"Three days ago you were on this very desk, with me deep inside you" She felt like she was beginning to bruise and she grabbed his hands, Luciano softening his hold on her.

"You want me to do everything you want. You want to control everything I do. And you want to keep me on this leash, but you don't want to go any further with me. I can't live like that. I want a real relationship with someone" He smirked against her ear and removed his hands, sitting back down in his chair saying, " Go ahead"

Her nose twitched and she fidgeted as she said" I can't"

Luciano's eyes gleamed hearing this as he said, " He told you" He chuckled, referring to what would happen if she were to be with another person.

" You know what, that is very fucked up that I am a claimed toy to you"

" You still think you are a toy? " He questioned.

She threw her hands up as if it were obvious. " Look at what you do, Luciano. You get mad, you take my things. You get jealous, and you ignore me and when you're on a good day, you want to fuck me. You are trying to keep me from being happy with someone else just so I am yours. Oh and Ricco? I am just a pawn for your benefit so yes I think I am a fucking toy" She angrily expressed, and his eyebrows furrowed, only hearing one relevant thing.
