Mine

chapter 6

I gaped at him with a loss for words. My
mouth suddenly felt dry, thinking about
the things he could do to me.

He was so big compared to me; his
hands alone were about the same size
as my face.

He was so painfully handsome. I always
had a thing for bad boys. But looking at
Bucky made me realize those little boys
was involved with were just posers.

Bucky was dangerous to be around.

Rob was in a trunk, and they all acted
like it was a normal occurrence.

Sure, Rob's a dick, but did he really
deserve to get beat up and shoved into a
trunk?

By the time we finished eating dinner, it
was almost midnight. I yawned loudly
before I could stop it from escaping.

Bucky chuckled.
"Tired, Principessa?" he asked me
sweetly.

"Yeah I nodded sleepily. My eyelids felt
so heavy all of a sudden.

"Well, we are going to Manhattan for our
business meeting, we will drop you off
on the way Bella," he insisted.

I wasn't going to argue. I was more than
grateful. Why would I want to take an
hour-long train ride to get home?

Especially when it was so late at night,
and all the creeps were probably out.

"Thank you so much, James," I nodded at
him.

"Yeah! There aren't enough seats in the
SUV, but don't worry. You can just sit
on my lap in the back, gorgeous, Dante
chimed in suddenly. He was smirking
hard and gave me a joking wink.

I giggled at his invitation. But whenI
realized bucky was staring at his brother
angrily, I quickly quit giggling.

"Sorry" I silently mouthed to Dante. I
gave Dante and guilty smile when james
wasn't looking, and he laughed back.

He gave me a quick thumbs-up, like getting
James riled up was so funny to him. I
shook my head trying to suppress a
laugh from coming out.

"Dante can just ride in the trunk with
Rob,' Alessio said with a shit-eating grin.
Dante scowled at his brother playfully.

I laughed again.

"I think that's a good idea," James  added.

"Hey, no fair! Two against one?! Willow help
me out, Dante raised his eyebrows at
me.

"'Stefano is right there. He looks more
qualified to back you up thanl am,'|
laughed out.

Stefano smirked and shrugged.
"Dante doesn't have to sit in the back
seat" Stefano inserted himself into th0e
conversation. Then he added smoothly.

"Willow can just sit on my lap instead."
I narrowed my eyes at him. Seriously
Stefano.

He chuckled, and James growled at him.

"Willow  will be sitting on no one's lap," James
said curtly. There was no room for joking and they all nodded.

"They were just joking,"I defended
feeling awkward and a bit guilty.

"I know that Bella but I don't want you to
feel uncomfortable. Joking or not, I don't
care, James  said in a purely serious tone.
"Willow I didn't mean to make you feel
uncomfortable, I'm sorry, Stefano
quickly said, looking guilty.

"Me neither, I just thought we were
having fun." Dante looked down
shamefully.

I frowned. "I was just playing too. I didn't
feel uncomfortable, don't worry. I didn't
think you guys were being serious or
anything," I said awkwardly.
