Untamed (A mafia story)

Chapter 21

She hadn't gone back to the basement, all thanks to Ivan, she stayed in his room.
He got clothes for her, gave her food, he didn't let her out too much because he didn't trust anyone in the house with her, not even his cousin but he'd stopped locking the door from back.

"How long will you stay"? She asked him looking at him and he just shrugged trying to hide his pain

"I won't be gone long I promise, I'll be back before you know it" he said reassuring her and looking at her, she was really beautiful and innocent

She nodded her head before going back to playing with her fingers, he was staring at her, she felt his eyes on her and it made her a bit uncomfortable.

Her lips were calling out to him, he'd been trying to keep himself under control for the past months being around her, but the more time they spent together, he fell deeply for her and she didn't even know it.

He reached forward and tuck her hair away from her face before gently stroking her face gently, she looked to him with her round, huge brown eyes looking at him with so much innocence.

There was something about her that always gets him, the way she looked.
She reeked of innocence, she didn't give off killer vibes of any sort

Without thinking it through he leaned forward and in an instant he captured her lips in a kiss, his heart beat picked up fast, he had never felt this way for anyone before, her eyes widened on the realization that Ivan had just kissed her.

He was kissing her, this was her first kiss and she didn't know how to react to it, it took a while before she started mimicking his actions and returning the kiss.

He rested his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to him, he couldn't get enough. Why did he wait this long before doing this?

With how fast and loud his heart was beating, he knew in that moment that he'd fallen in love with her.
He'd fallen in love with Cara without realizing it.

After a while he let go of her lips and looked at her, she was looking down not meeting his eyes, he smiled at her innocence, she was shy.

He tilted her head up so she'd look at him, her heat was beating wildly in her chest, if he listened closely he'd be able to hear it.

"I'll be back before you know it okay? And then we can talk about this" he whispered making her blush, she didn't know what this means but she wanted to find out.

She nodded and smiled shyly at him.
Ivan had kissed her, she didn't know how to feel about it, did he like her?
Was he perhaps attracted to her in any way.
Well she'd find out when he returns from wherever he was going to.

Today the house was seemingly quiet, there was no one home, well most times there weren't much people anyway, except for Viss and the other blonde guy she had come to know as Sasha.

There was a few things she'd learned while being out of the basement and up here is that, this place was way different from Enzo's house.
While Enzo let almost all his men stay at the mansion with them, Dimitri's men had a different place where they all stayed, a much bigger mansion than this.

Ivan had left the house not quite long, he said he had something important to do, he asked her not to leave the room, he might take a while.

What he failed to tell her was the fact that today was Veronica's death anniversary and he was going to mourn somewhere far from the house.

He didn't want her to see him like that, as much as he wanted to he around her, he couldn't rub off the feeling of sadness on her too so he decided to leave the house.
