chapter 16 (unedited)

Nitara

I snuggle further into the warm chest and sigh in relief. A pair of warm hands wrap around me and push their face further into my boobs.

I squirm into his hold and hiss in pain when I feel my sore legs. Nico looks at me worriedly and kisses my cheek softly. He places his forehead against mine and sighs .

"Good morning baby"  I almost faint when I hear his morning voice.

"Morning Nico" I reply shyly and push my face into the covers .

"Now, there is no need to get all shy love .this is just the beginning.  You can use this bathroom I'll use the one in the  guestroom. Once you're done, come downstairs yes? I'll get the breakfast ready" he says and  gets out of bed .

As soon as he removes the covers , I'm met with a beautiful sight of his back . His back muscles and tatted skin. His chains dangling on his chest. I suddenly get flashbacks of last night and I feel my cheeks heating up.

I exhale and walk into the bathroom . I quickly do my business and put my hair in a bun. Nico had kept a satin dress for me to wear after cleaning myself.

I walk downstairs and find Nico near the counter setting up the plates.
I get flashbacks of  the last time we were here.

"Come tara" he motions me to sit on the chair.

He has changed into a pair of black sweats and black tank top.
He still has his chain around his neck . I look up at him and the tattoo that sits on the back of his neck .
giurato nella morte, sanguiniamo.

"What does this mean Nico?" I ask curiously.

Nico sighs and places me on his lap. He wraps his arms around me and sets his head on my shoulder. He starts to feed me without a word.

Once I'm done with the breakfast, he cleans my face with a tissue and place me on the dining table.

I'm now settled on the table with Nico sitting on the chair infront of me . My legs are positioned between his . His hands are on my thigh. He is drawing small circles on my skin and looking at me in the eye.

"Baby I want to be honest with you . Please hear me out first and then later on you can say whatever you want yes?" He asks softly.

I nod at him and encourage him to start speaking . He sighs pulling me closer. He beings speaking still drawing circles and small hearts on my skin .

"Tara you need to know that your dad and I are not just buisness partners . We work in the mafia love. No actually, I am the mafia and he works under me. In business we are equal but in the mafia I'm the capo. We do bad things Tara . We kill , without a hint of guilt or remorse. That's why your dad sent you away. That's why you need security all the time" he explains

"I know" Nico's head snap up to mine so quick . He looks at me with wide eyes. As if I stole his chocolate. Maybe I did . Teheehe.

"I know Nico. I-I'm not that n-naive. All the security, t-the cars and guns . I know you're in the-no, you a-are the mafia" Nico looks at me bewildered.

He pulls me impossibly close and kisses my forehead.

"My precious little baby is so intelligent . Look at you hmm knowing everything and acting up " he teases.

I shyly nod and push my face into neck .
Nico tickles my side and I squeal and run away. I hear his heavy footsteps follow me as he chuckles darkly.

I get into an unfamiliar room and look around the room . This room looks more like a empty space . Soon I hear heavy breathing behind me . But what scares me is  that It isn't Nico.

I turn around and am met with a sight of 2 giant dogs. Bigger than me . They look at me as if I'm their prey. They start pacing around me . The pair of rottweilers make their way towards me .

I yell at the top of my voice and that alarms them as they get ready to jump on me . I crash into the concrete. As they pounce on me.
Ouch.

They were about to attack me with their paws but sit up straight as soon as they hear his command .

"stai fermo. Riprendere ." Nico shouts. (Stay still ,get back)

By the time Nico reaches me , I'm shaking vigorously. He tries to reach me but I push him away. My breathing fastens as black dots appear infront of me.

Nico realises I'm having a panic attack. He holds me to his chest and counts for me .

"Shh.shh. breathe baby. Yes good girl , listen to my heartbeat. 1,2, 3 look at you good girl baby . Yes , just like that. Shh. I'm here. " Nico whispers in a soft voice.

I soon calm down and regain my concious. He holds me close and wipe my tears.

"Merda ,you scared me there for a second baby. I'm so sorry ." He mumbled into my hair.

"Look they won't hurt you yes? They are my dogs love . They just get possessive when they smell me on you. Shh. You wanna meet 'em" I shake my head quickly not wanting to encounter that again

"It's ok but trust me they wont hurt you hmm" he reassure me .

"C-can you hold my h-hand then?" He nods and interwines our fingers.

" stai calmo bestia non vuoi spaventarla .  bravo ragazzo"
(Stay calm beast you don't wanna scare her . Good boy) Nico pats their head.

"Look amore, this is beast and that is Simba " he motions towards the pair of Rotties.

"Beast is larger and more energetic as compared to Simba .
Simba is the calm and collected one . Let them smell you baby." I put my hand forward to them and a giggle erupts from my throat when beast licks my hand and simba playfully sniffs it .

"I've got to take this call love. Stay with them and don't get hurt. You need anything and I mean anything, you come to me . Yes" I not absent minded

He grabs my jaw and tugs me  forward with a smack on my ass he says in lowly . "Words nitara"

"Yes dad" I say with a hint of sarcasm and get back to play with the doggies.
