Adriana's POV
Since it was my birthday today, Dante wanted to do something for the occasion but I refused. I really didn't want to do anything other than stay in with family and hang out with them as that was enough for me however, he insisted. Therefore, I agreed to join Dante on a drive out through the beautiful night and for some gelato.
Our favourite.
Right at this moment, we were at a gelato parlour while Ilaria was at home with mom and Rosalina. This felt so unreal because it felt like Ilaria had been in our lives for years when it's only been a little over a month. We're so occupied that we have little to no time in our hands for each other, which was one of the reason why I agreed to come out with Dante.
I wanted to spend some alone time with him.
Speaking of, I couldn't help but feel so lucky that he was going to be mine forever. The ring he bought me was so beautiful that it would attract my attention whenever as it was huge however, it doesn't symbolise the true love or the meaning of love I have for him. It sure does mark something but nothing as valuable at him.
"So Gattina, you still haven't told me what you want." Dante said as he cut me off of my thoughts.
I glance up at him as he dug into the ice cream that we were sharing, my gaze remained on him as he brought the spoon to his lips and then licked the dessert his spoon. As I watched him like a hawk, Dante gave me a quizzical stare while he waited for my answer so I quickly snapped out of my daze and looked away.
"Are you kidding Dante? What more do I want when you've given me everything so far?"
"Is that so Adriana?" He raises his brows, "Are you sure there is nothing else?"
"Yes, I'm sure." I reply as I push my hair behind my ear and then dig in with him. I watch him as he continued to eat, not really minding me when something appeared in my head. I gaze at the perfect red cherry that sat on top of our melting ice cream before I exhale out.
"I miss how things were before Ilaria." I comment before I scoop a spoonful of ice cream and bring it to my mouth to lick it off. I catch Dante stop scooping the ice cream as he glanced up at me with a raised brow.
"What do you mean?"
"You know... how we used to spend a lot of time together. Visit places, stay in bed and how we'd do stuff together... and to each other."
Dante froze on his seat and he watched me with a determined look. I scooped another spoonful of ice cream and leaned forward when Dante shuffled in his seat, when I glanced up at him I saw that a small smirk curved his lips.
"Stuff to each other?" He questions, "Elaborate Gattina, I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Don't lie to me Dante," I counter as I lick the spoon, "you know exactly what I'm talking about."
"I do?" He watches me with his right brow lifted, and then he abandons his spoon. As he did, his fingers folded on each other as he rested his chin on them when his elbow leaned on the table. "Okay well, let me say it then. Do you miss kissing me or do you miss my touch? Is it when I leave you shaking after a small caress to your face, lips or your thighs? Do you remember when we'd used to do it anywhere and everywhere Gattina? Has it been that long that you've forgotten already? Do you miss feeling breathless while I have you writhing underneath me or have you sprawled across a surface while I fuck you until you think you've had enough? Huh?"
At this point, I was holding my shit together like my life depended on it. The burning sensation between my legs only grew rapidly as I watched Dante in silence however, I didn't reveal to him how much his words made me want to just orgasm just there and then. His sharp distinctive features only made it difficult for me right now to handle this because he was just so damn sexy. Even in his thirties, he never failed to show his youth. I bit my lips before I licked it to get rid of the sweet taste from the gelato.
"Gattina, say something. Have I traumatised you?" Dante ask,
"Traumatised me?" I scoff as I unclench my legs together and instantly feel the result of his dirty talk. "You've yet to traumatise me when you do all that.... to me...no?"
One second Dante held an amused expression and the next, his face dropped and it was then when I felt my heart drop a little because he looked dangerous. Dante began to clench his jaw as well as his fists as he watched me like a hawk. I felt his intense scrutiny while I continued to dig in the ice cream and as I didn't give him the attention he wanted, he then spoke.
"You want it don't you?"
"Want What?" I bring the spoon to my lips and lick the top part of the ice cream, "Elaborate Dante."
"You want me to fuck you. Hard. duro. So rough until you can't walk. Sì?"
I blink at the spoon as I look at the colour of the ice cream; it was pink and fluffy just like his lips. I then glance at him as his lips twitched, impatient, hot, flushed, determined for my answer.
"Maybe..." I whisper, "maybe not."
Dante growled in frustration as he shuffled again on his seat and glances around him to see if anyone was around us. Since it was late evening, there weren't many customers around the parlour and to be even more discreet, Dante and I were sitting at a booth that was hidden in one of the corner of the parlour.
"Do you want to know what I want right now?" He whispered hoarsely. His frustration was evident and I found it quite entertaining when he struggled to get the attention that he wanted. I glance up at him as I eat more of the ice cream and just watch him.
"This gelato?" I teased,
"Oh I think I've had enough of the gelato and speaking of," He growls, "it reminds me of something that I'm suddenly craving for right fùcking now."
"Oh? And what is that?"
"Your legs wrapped around my face."
I exhale out discreetly as the affects of his words begin to settle in again, my heart raced at the thought and suddenly, I was craving too. The sexual tension simmered in the air, it was so intense when we were watching each other. It seemed like Dante was going to pounce on me any second now however, the fact that we were in public only prevented him from doing so. I felt deprived and so horny, Dante didn't even know how much I wanted him right now.
"Oh Dante," I sigh, "my sweet Dante, how are you going to get that?"
I take the spoon to my lips and have my tongue swirling around the spoon to lick off the sweetness. As I did all of this, my eyes settled on a dumbfounded Dante who was growing frustrated by the second.
"Right that's enough," He growled under his breath as he grabbed the gelato cup and shoved it to the side. He then grabbed my spoon away from me and held my wrists before he practically threw the spoon on the table as it clattered on the table. "we're leaving."
"But Dante, I didn't get to finish my-"
"I don't care Gattina you've had enough gelato." He growled as we left the parlour and made our way back to his car, "Now it's my turn to have my gelato."
He quickly shoved me into the car and slammed the door shut. My heart raced as I glance around for any sign of Leo, our driver and fortunately, he was not around.
"Wait, what? Here, right now?" I gasp when Dante slid into the car and then grabbed me. Luckily, no one was around to see us because firstly the car was parked in a private area where there was not a single car parked near us and secondly, the windows to the car was tinted.
"Sì gattina," He growled when he grabbed my face and devoured my lips, "you asked for it, now you're getting it."
"What about... Leo?" I mumbled against his lip, the more I squirmed under his hold, the more I felt his fingertips just dig into my skin. Eventually, he successfully managed to get me to straddle his legs even with the lack of space. One thing I realised that this lack of space frustrated Dante when he held me firmly and growled like he was going to break.
Ever since Constantino returned, Dante took a lot of precautions and one of them were that we were to be accompanied by at least one of his men anytime we leave the property. Leo is one of his men but to me, he was like a brother. Poor man had to wait for us in the cold.
"Leo can wait. This can't." He snarled as he began to undress me. My eyes reached out of their sockets when he ripped open my shirt as a result of his frustration, and in that instance his lips met with the valley of my breasts when he planted thousands of kisses there. Adrenaline spiked in my blood as soon as his lips brush past a sensitive area and a throaty moan releases when he I felt his teeth sinking into my skin. "After what you pulled inside the parlour, I don't think you deserve to feel comfort between your legs for now."
I threw my head back in my shoulders when he reached my nipple as a strangled moan left my lips. Simultaneously, my hip began to churn against his slacks which were tight when I felt him.
"Cazzo!" He mumbled under his breath as he reached my pants and removed it, as soon as he did his thumb pressed against my clit.
"Oh my.... fu... God!" I moaned as I gripped onto his shoulders like it was my life. Dante only just began to furiously rub me as he whispered into my ears, telling me how he wanted to wreck me. He was so aggressive and sounded so dangerous, it had me fearing for what was to come next but at the same time, I wanted to feel it. I missed this. I missed the tension and then the pleasure that would come after. The tension only lingered when he used his style of profanities in his native tongue, it had me rolling my eyes back until I thought I was going to pass out.
"Tell me what you want now gattina, rendilo forte e chiaro baby. Make it clear so I can hear you."
"Dante, just.... give it to me...." I cry out when he strokes my slit with his fingers, "I want you so badly."
"Sì gattina," he groaned as he opened his slacks and set himself free. My heart hammered in my chest when I saw how much he was in need; he was so huge and so swollen, even without doing anything, I could already feel how painful this would be. Dante curled his arms under my legs as he guided me to him. My heart raced as my breath halted when I felt the tip of him graze my entrance and at that instance, I knew what I was getting myself into. "are you ready, because I'm not in the mood to be gentle today."
"Yes! Dante, just do it!"
Dante thrusted his hip upwards in a swift motion and right after that second, I felt as though Dante ripped through my insides because I was so sure I felt him right in my lungs. I scowled at first because it was so painful but when Dante thrusted upwards for the second time, I clenched around him as this time I felt him hit the deepest part of me.
"Happy..." He thrusted up for the third time, "fùcking," then the fourth, "birthday Adriana."
"Oh my...." I cried out when I bite into his shoulder, "Holy hell!"
Dante groaned when his fingertips dig into my skin, his hand trained on my hips as he tried to control me but I knew what I needed to do. I pull away from his shoulders and hold them instead before I roll my hips against him and I slide on him, up and down just how he liked it. As I did, I captured Dante's gaze; it was so stimulating and so focused. As I had given birth just over a month ago, I did feel pain but it came with electrifying pleasure.
I grabbed his face and caught his lips to take it between my teeth, he held my hips and kissed me back as a low growl went past his lips.
"Fùck Adriana, do you have any idea how much this fucking hurts?" He growled, "Continua così Baby, don't stop. I want to feel every inch of you."
I slammed myself down on him so hard and so fast, Dante gasped against my lips and I just chuckled.
"You asked for it Dante, now you're getting it."
Dante seemed to have the urge to take control but due to the lack of space, he has no idea how he would do exactly that. Therefore, he gave in just like how I intended him to do so.
Just like that.
***
My hands attach to Dante's as our fingers intertwined while we walk into the estate together. My heart raced as my subconscious repeatedly poked me whenever I looked at Dante but it would remind me of what we had just done. I knew my cheeks were crimson red but the fact that we even done that made me wonder why on earth I rejected his proposal this morning.
"Gattina, you're red. If you want we can do it again but this time, on a bed and with a lot more space however for now, cover up. We're about to face each member of the familia."
My cheeks burned when I glanced down at my chest to see my clothes in pieces and due to this, Dante offered me his jacket so I could cover up. I bit my lip as I cover my chest area before we make our way to the estate.
Just as how Dante assumed, each and every family member were present in the lounge and suddenly, I was sweating.
"So... how was your date?" Leila enquired as she raised a brow and teased us,
"It was.... good." I reply, "Where is Ilaria?"
"Oh don't worry about her, she is with mom in her room."
Relief settled on me as this gave me an opportunity to clean after myself, in the mean time mom or Rosalina could look after her. I nodded my head at her before I begin to head towards the stairs but Leila stopped me.
"Hey, is everything alright?"
"Of course it is, why wouldn't it be?"
"I..I don't know, maybe I'm assuming things but Mia seems kind of... like.. not herself. I tried to speak to her but she insists she's fine." Leila stressed and instantly, I was bothered because if Mia wasn't fine, why isn't she seeking the help that she needs? "I was thinking maybe you could have a word with her?"
"Of course I will Leila," I smiled at her, "you have nothing to worry about."
She smiled widely before she wrapped her arms around me and sighed nonchalantly.
"Honestly this estate has never been more alive without you and I'm so grateful that you're here. Happy birthday Adriana."
My heart warmed up at her comment as she pulls away, the smile that she displayed was genuine and it made me appreciate a little more at the fact that Leila is Tony's sister. Although they bicker like they hate each other, they always have each other's backs.
When I made my way to my room, I thought I'd check in on Mia as she was not present in the lounge with everyone else. When I reached her room, I froze in my tracks when I heard and saw Mia crying into her pillow. As I had not anticipated this, I felt so lost. I had no idea what to do because I've never seen Mia cry like this before, it was so unlike her, it takes a lot for her to cry like this.
"Mia..." I whisper and in that instance, Mia lifted her head up from the pillow and glanced over to the door where I was standing.
When she noticed me, she sat up and began wiping her tears away. I enter her room and close the door behind me before I approach her. I sit next to her and touch her arms and as soon as I did, Mia just broke down once again.
"Mia, you can talk to me. I promise I will always be here for you, come on." I encourage her as I feel a part of me shatter apart. I've learned that I can't see any one of them cry like this. It hurt my heart to even see them like this and also feel helpless. I wanted to take all her pain away just so I could see her smile once again.
"Adriana, I...I messed up and now...I don't know what to do." She sobbed,
"Okay Mia, you need to calm down." I pull her away from me and hold her as I tried to calm her down. "Then we can talk so I could understand you properly."
Mia nodded her head and then pulled away to compose herself. After a few moment, she sat back on her bed and leaned her head on the headboard while I watched her, hoping that she would speak.
"I...I need your help Adriana. No one can help me but you, you can't refuse me at all." She says as she looked at me, her eyes were full with sorrow and for a moment, I felt like I didn't recognise her because I have never seen her like this.
"Mia, I need to understand what your talking about, without you doing so I can't help you in any way." I said, "Please talk to me."
Mia exhaled and then leaned forward to get my attention, I glance at her and wait for her to reply.
"I'm pregnant."
My eyes widened and my jaw dropped as I watched Mia with complete shock. My breath stalled for a second and my mind became completely blank. I had never anticipated this which was why it took me a little longer to get my head around this. When I returned back to my sense, my heart dropped when Mia looked at me with a huge frown, like she just made the biggest mistake of her life.
"What?" I pull her towards me and embrace her just to comfort her, only to have her tear against me, "Mia, you have nothing to worry about. I will help you as much as you want, not only me but your brothers will help as well."
"That's not the point Adriana, I need you to help me. Only you, no one else."
"What do you mean?" I ask as I pull away,
"Since Ilaria arrived, I couldn't help but notice the bond you have with her and from that moment, I knew you were the only one that could help me. I have a long-term condition that will most likely take my time away soon, which means I might not be here to see my baby grow up, therefore I need to you raise the child once I'm gone."
Mia dropped all these revelations to me all at once that I struggled to get my head around this. I needed time because I couldn't think with having her right in front of me with a huge frown. My heart dropped to my stomach as I tremble under her determined gaze. If she was pregnant, this meant that there was someone important in her life so where is he? Doesn't he want anything to do with her and the baby?
"It's either you or an abortion." She continued. Tears stained her cheeks as she watched me with defeat.
"No. Mia, don't say that." I gasp as I bring my shaky hands to her face and shake my head, "No, you're not getting an abortion and you are not going to leave us. That's not you. I promise we will get through this together." I continue with a broken voice.
Tears streamed down my face as I encourage her, she nodded her head and then slammed herself onto me. I wrap my arms around her and embrace her, never letting go. The idea of Mia leaving us shattered my heart, it hurt so much I wanted to scream out of frustration!
Why does it happen to us?
Why are we so unfortunate?
"I promise I will help you, no matter what happens."
