Maya's P.O.V
I knew I was being stupid, idiot and *some other profanities* for feeling the way I had been since I saw them going out hand in hand. But I just couldn't help it! Firstly, I was jealous yes, I was for some god damn reason jealous when I saw Sabrina looking so freaking beautiful in that red dress, even though it was revealing (what else would you expect from her) but she was looking so damn good nonetheless!
And secondly, when I heard Massimo complimenting her I felt this weird feeling again in my chest. Only I knew how hard it was for me to have a boring look on my face and to have no expression even though my face was itching to give out atleast a single expression. I didn't know why? I didn't know why I felt like pulling that Sabitchna away from him when I saw her whispering something in his ear. She was so close to him. 'And why do you care? He's your kidnapper remember?' This time my subconscious mind was absolutely right but I didn't know why I still couldn't agree with her.
I absolutely still knew what he was, my kidnapper! But a part of me was betraying me and was acting like a teenage girl who had this huge crush on college's handsome guy and would feel hurt/jealous whenever some hoe flirted with him!
I was doing a pretty good job in ignoring his presence and having a boring look on my face even though it was hard since I could sense his gaze on me very well. I didn't know why he was looking at me. He had such an attractive, sexy girl by his side and he was still looking at me. Even though it made my stomach do flip but I still didn't acknowledge his gaze on me. At one point I literally felt as if he was telling me to look up at him by his piercing gaze but I stood my ground.
But soon I couldn't help to not react when Sabitchna put her arm around his arm and my eyes darted towards their joining hands. But when I sensed that he noticed me I quickly looked away. 'I'll not give him the satisfaction of getting a reaction out of me. What does he think of himself?' I huffed mentally.
Perhaps I talked a bit earlier because the next thing I saw was him wrapping one arm around her waist and then gently tugging her towards his side. "We are getting late for the party amore. Let's go, shall we." And with that they turned around and walked towards the main door. I didn't know why but I felt my chest tightened when he addressed her as amore. I knew it was absolutely stupid of me but I just couldn't help the slight hurt that I felt. 'Maybe it's because he always calls you by that but now you're hurt because he called her by the same endearment.' I knew my subconscious mind was true but I still didn't want to agree because I was in strong denial! 'He is my kidnapper for the love of god! I can't possibly grow feelings for him, that's insane!'
Massimo's P.O.V
'Fanculo! This was the fucking longest and boring party of my life!' I thought in my mind as I made my way inside my car. Soon when we both settled inside, the driver started the car and we made our way towards the mansion.
It was now 12 am, I wasted 4 hours at the party doing nothing but talking to worthless shitty people who only knew how to make weak people feel even weaker and lower! I so wanted to smack those cazzo idiota who thought that ruling over weak, poor people make them strong and powerful! Thank god I had seen how exactly they worked before I could invest myself into their dirty business.
(Fucking idiots)
I admit I was no saint but I would never work like how those bastards worked! I knew my boundaries. Even though my profession involved taking lives if needed, but I had never and would never put innocent people's life in danger.
I came out of my thoughts when I felt a hand moving up my thigh. I stifled a groan. 'What the hell is her problem?' I didn't say anything, just stopped her advancement and pushed her hand away. I thought she'd try again but surprisingly she didn't. I sighed. The whole night she was clinging to me like a moth. She was stuck by my side like an annoying desperate girlfriend. I shuddered inwardly. I didn't even want to think about her as my girlfriend.
I thank the Lord when I saw the familiar surroundings of my mansion and soon the driver parked the car in front of the main gate. Without giving any second glance I stepped out of the car and walked straight inside the house. I could hear Sabrina's irritating voice but I ignored her and went straight towards my room.
I was now inside my room all changed back into comfortable clothes. It was around 1 am and everyone must be sleeping and even though I was tired as heck but right now I just couldn't sleep. And then I realised that it was because I hadn't eaten anything. Yup, you heard me right. Even though I went to the party I still didn't eat anything because I just didn't feel like eating anything from there. I just had a drink and that too because they had forced me to.
I groaned as I turned around on my bed. I knew I wouldn't get any sleep until I ate something. So, I stood up from the bed and made my out of the room and down towards the kitchen. 'I just hope Martha & Gab has kept aside some food!'
Maya's P.O.V
I was sleeping peacefully when in the middle of the night I felt my throat dry so I half consciously moved towards the bedside table. I pushed myself up on my elbows and reached towards the bottle of water that I had kept by my side incase I'd feel thirsty at night just like now.
I felt my fingers touched the bottle but then it fell to the ground. Thankfully it wasn't a glass bottle so it didn't brake. But the reason why it easily fell was because it was empty. I groaned as I now fully sat down on the bed. Ugh! Now I had to go all the way down to the kitchen just to drink water, great! I couldn't just ignore my thirst because then I wouldn't be able to sleep because of that.
With a huff I stood up from the bed and walked out of the room and down towards the kitchen. As I was still half unconscious because of just waking up from the sleep I carefully steeped down the stairs. The mansion was big but because of the lighting it didn't look spooky or scary at night. When I reached down there was this small light coming out of the kitchen which I was thankful for.
I made my way to the kitchen and went straight towards the fridge. As I opened it I took out a filled water bottle and as soon as I opened the bottle I gulped down the water to quench my thirst. When I was satisfied and my throat wasn't dry anymore I closed the water bottle. Instead of putting it back I filled it again so that I could take it with me incase I'd feel thirsty again.
As I turned around a shrieked escaped my lips when I saw someone standing behind me. I put my hand on my chest and I could literally hear my heartbeat because of how fast my heart was beating. But when I realised who it was I sighed in relaxation.
"You scared the shit out of me." I said taking deep breath because of the mini heart attack I just got.
Massimo didn't say anything he was just standing by the kitchen door looking at me. I slightly narrowed my eyes at him. 'What's his deal?!' But then a slow grin came up on his lips. 'What's so funny now?!'
With the grin on his face he walked inside the kitchen and sat down on the table counter.
"I didn't mean to scare or startled you but I still apologise if you got scared. It wasn't my intention." He said with that stupid grin on his face. I didn't say anything in return but just narrowed my eyes at him.
"Ya whatever. What are you doing here at this hour anyway?" I asked.
"I could ask you the same question amore." I couldn't help but to flinch slightly when he said amore. He must've noticed my reaction because he suddenly looked away and cleared his throat.
"I was thirsty that's why I came here to drink water." I said before things could get awkward.
"I was hungry and I couldn't sleep. That's why I've come here to eat something." He said to which I said a low Oh and nodded.
"So...how are you going to cure your hunger?" I asked when it was getting silent.
"Um Martha & Gab must've kept side something anything. I'd eat that." He said and then he stood up from the counter table. I saw as he walked towards the fridge and opened it. He looked inside the fridge probably for some leftovers but then closed it when he couldn't find any leftover. He then moved around the kitchen and looked through every utensil / casserole even microwave to see if there was any leftover. He groaned and cursed under his breath when he couldn't find any leftover.
I was still standing in the middle of the kitchen with a bottle of water in my hand. He turned around and looked at me. "Looks like they didn't keep any leftovers today." He said as he ran his fingers through his hairs which made his ruffled hairs look even more ruffled and sexy. I looked away when he noticed me looking at his hairs.
"Um so what ya gonna do now?" I asked.
"I guess I'll go back to my room and try to sleep -" He said but before he could complete I interrupted him by saying, "I can cook something if you want." The words came out of my mouth before I could realise exactly what I was saying. I didn't know why I said that but it just came out.
And by the look on his face he was surprised as well. "You'd really do that?" He asked. "I mean you don't mind cooking for a kidnapper?" He teased to which I just rolled my eyes at him.
"Now don't flatter yourself that much. I just said it because I couldn't let someone sleep on empty stomach. I would've said it even if it was someone other than you." I said as I placed the bottle on the slab. "Besides I know the feeling of sleeping on an empty stomach." I whispered before I could stop myself. Again I didn't know why I said it, it just slipped out of my mouth in the heat of moment.
Thank god he was standing away from me, he didn't hear what I whispered in the end. The last thing I wanted was to discuss about my childhood with an insanely hot n handsome kidnapper. I groaned inwardly at my inner hoe.
Massimo's P.O.V
It amazed me how pure, kind yet a little fiery she was! I was surprised when she offered me to cook something for me. I wasn't expecting that. Hell! I wasn't expecting her in the kitchen at all in the first place and I was surely not expecting her in a cute yet sexy nightwear in the middle of the night.
When I had reached the kitchen I heard some noise so when I looked inside I nearly had a mini heart attack when I saw her slightly bending down. She was looking for something inside the fridge. I couldn't help but to admire her firm cute little ass. She was wearing pyjama shorts with a long shirt. Because of the shorts her toned creamy legs were on full display and I found myself just a second away from pulling her towards me and then sucking, licking, kissing & biting down on her creamy skin!
I came out of my dirty thoughts when she asked me if I wanted her to cook for me or not. I wasn't stupid obviously I said yes. I'd get every fucking single chance to spend time with her.
I smirked inwardly when I noticed her looking at my hairs. I knew my hairs must've been all ruffled but I had been told that I looked handsome nonetheless even with ruffled hairs.
"So, what are you going to make?" I asked.
"Depends on what ingredients we've here." She said and started combing her hairs with her fingers. She then folded her hairs and tied them up in a messy bun. While she was doing it I was just looking at her. She was looking so serene with that messy bun and few tendrils that were falling out on her face. She looked so pure yet sexy at the same time. She suddenly looked up at me to which I averted my gaze from her. 'Why the fuck am I behaving like a teenage boy? I'm a mafiosa capo for fuck's sake!'
She started looking around the kitchen for all the ingredients that she could get. First, she went through the fridge and put out some ingredients and then from the cabins. Soon when she gathered the ingredients she started cooking. I walked towards her and sat down on the stool in front of her.
"So, what are you making?" I asked.
"You'll see." Is what she said in return.
I blinked few times at how easily she'd gotten comfortable around me. Even though she thought of me as her kidnapper, I felt this feeling in my heart to know that she was getting comfortable around me even if it was just for this time being. I didn't say anything further and let her do whatever she wanted.
After around 15 minutes she placed a bowl in front of me. She gestured me to eat whatever she had made. I looked at the bowl. It was looking like some soup. When I took first spoon I looked up at her only to find her looking at me expectantly. I didn't say anything I just kept eating. I knew she wanted me to say something but I wasn't going to say it just like that. I wanted to tease her a little. I loved it when she'd make a pout in annoyance and the way her nose would crinkled was just so fucking cute!
She huffed probably getting irritated while I just kept drinking the soup. "Oh come on! Just say it." She said finally.
I took the last spoon full of soup in my mouth and when I finished it I drink the water sip by sip. I knew I was irritating her, call me jerk or an asshole but I was loving it.
"Whatever." She muttered and walked past me towards the kitchen exit.
Maya's P.O.V
What a douche! He knew exactly what he was doing! He was doing it on purpose I just knew it. I made soup for him even though he was basically my kidnapper and he didn't even say anything. He didn't say how it was, if it was tasty or not? He didn't even thank me, he just kept eating. Jerk!
I was an idiot I shouldn't have offered him to cook for him. What was I expecting? A change of heart? That he'd for once act like a sensible human being and not some egotistical jerk.
I huffed as I walked past him and towards the kitchen exit. But before I could make any step forward I was pulled backwards with a slight force and then I felt my back collided with something or more like someone.
"Where are you going? Don't you want to know if I like the soup or not?" He said near my left ear. Because of being close I could feel his breath on my skin with every word he said.
I gulped when I felt goosebumps from where his breath was tickling my skin. I blushed when I noticed the position we were in. My back was facing his front. He was holding my right hand with his right one while his left hand was resting lightly on my waist.
"I-I don't need you to say anything. I know I made it good." I said to which he chuckled lightly. I felt my heart skipped a beat at the sound of his chuckle. It was so contagious. His chuckle was doing something that I had never felt before.
"Don't lie amore. You know I don't like it when someone lie to me." He said more like whispered near my left ear. This time I didn't flinch at his endearment because this time the way he said that it was so different.
I so wanted to smack myself hard because of the way I was behaving. I shouldn't have even come near him and here I was literally glued to him. I came to my senses and tried to move away from him before I lost my senses!
Because his grip on me wasn't tight I easily stepped away from him but I guess I talked soon because the next moment he swirled me around in his arms and then I was facing him & was trapped in between him and the kitchen counter. I gasped when my back gently hit the kitchen counter and looked up at him in shock. What the heck....
Massimo's P.O.V
Before she could get away from me I swirled her around in my arms and gently trapped her in between kitchen counter and I. I heard her gasp and then she looked up at me with her wide mesmerising gorgeous eyes. She was surprised more like shocked at what I just did.
"What are you doing?" She asked when she got out of her surprised state.
"You were trying to walk out I know. So, I'm just making sure you won't this time." I explained.
"Can't you do this by not invading my personal space?" She said as she narrowed her eyes at me. 'Fanculo! She looks so cute when she gets annoyed. The way she twitches her nose and that slight pout.....' I groaned as I looked away. 'I don't think I'd be able to control myself anymore!'
I felt this unfamiliar feeling again when I noticed how close we were and how there was literally no gap in between us. And that if I were to move even a bit, we'd have definitely touched. I felt so content in that moment! As stupid as it might sound but with her being this close to me was doing somethings to me!
I didn't notice that I was staring at her while thinking all those thoughts when she blinked a few times and then looked away from me more like trying to look anywhere but my face. I also noticed a slightest bit of blush on her cheeks. 'I want to see her blush even more. Especially when I'll whisper dirty sensual things in her ears or when she'll wither under me while I push myself inside her.....' fanculo!
I closed my eyes and tried to push my dirty thoughts away but it all went in vain when I heard her taking deep breath. My eyes snapped up at her and I realised I wasn't the only one who was getting affected by our close proximity. This time when our gaze collided with each other she didn't look away. She kept looking at me and I was doing the same, it was as if we were in some kind of a trance.
And then she did the last thing that was needed to break my any ounce of control. She fucking swirled her tongue out on her lips and that's when I smashed my lips with her soft luscious lips after muttering fanculo!
Maya's P.O.V
I didn't realise what happened. All I heard was him muttering something and then I felt him against my lips! To say I was shocked would be an understatement because I was much more than that. 'Is he really kissing me? Like KISSING kissing me?!'
My eyes were wide as saucers while he kept kissing me. Heck! What the....! What did he think of himself? But what in the name of God was wrong with me? Why was I just talking to myself and letting him kiss me! 'Because you're really enjoying his perfect lips against yours, you hoe!' And only then I realised that my lips were actually moving against his. Ugh! My body was betraying me again.
No matter how hard I tried to feel disgusting because of him kissing me but I just couldn't! Instead I felt this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. His hot lips against mine were doing things to both my body and mind that I couldn't pin point.
But before I could actually woman up and react something, I felt him moved his lips away from me. I should've felt relieved but for some god damn weird stupid insane reason I felt disappointed and upset? because he had retreated his lips back.
Because of the kiss he was slightly panting and I realised I was as well. But not like him. I was literally panting like a fish out of water. I could feel my cheeks burning up with embarrassment.
He was again looking at me with his surprisingly soft eyes. He had that look again on his face while he was just assessing me. I blushed even more when I noticed his gaze on my lips. I saw his eyes getting dark and there was this primal look in his eyes as if he was very thirsty and I was his source of drink. I felt my cheeks burned even more at my double meaning thought.
My breath hitched when all of a sudden he placed his forehead gently against mine, while his eyes were closed mine were wide opened. Because of how close his face was I noticed the small unrecognisable scar he had on his nose. I also noticed how his face for the first time didn't look hard. He wasn't clenching his jaw neither he had frowning lines, instead his face was relaxed and he was looking insanely calm making him looked even more handsome.
He rested his forehead against mine for the next few minutes or so, then he slowly moved away from me. I was reacting like a dumb girl at that time and was just looking at what he was doing. 'Looks like my mind and body has completely lost it!'
I nearly shivered when he placed both of his hands on my cheeks. I felt this jolt of electricity where his hand was touching my skin. Since the moment he had kissed me I had been doing only one thing and that was widening my eyes. But then the warm look & soft eyes were gone and back was his hard emotionless face.
Massimo's P.O.V
'Holy mother of christ! Never have I ever felt like this while kissing someone!' I had this idea that whenever I'd get a chance to kiss her that was going to be amazing. But I had no idea that it was going to be fucking amazing!
I swore I felt my buddy down there getting alived by just kissing her soft luscious lips. Just like how I had thought, they were so sweet & soft like cotton candy! I knew I had took her by surprise and I was 99.99% expecting her to push me away and then slap me. But thank the lord when she didn't. Although she wasn't kissing me how I wanted her to, probably because she was surprised/shocked. But I was happy that she was atleast letting me kiss her!
I could literally hear the voice in the back of my mind telling me how I had been behaving in her presence. And that how I had done something I hadn't before. But I didn't care! I knew why she affected me that much! Now, that I had finally got a taste of her I knew it was all the physical attraction. She affected me that much because my body was craving for her.
'I finally got to kiss her and soon I'll take her in every possible way and when my body gets what it has been craving for, I'll let her go.'
With that I removed my hands away from her silky smooth skin and turned around to go back to my room without saying anything.
*********
A/N :
*shaking my head in disappointment* Once a jerk always a jerk, I guess 🙄
What do you think?
Do you think Massimo will ever change or is he going to stay as he is!?
Also, whatever happened in the end they somehow still kissed! I know it wasn't very romantic but you can't just expect them to go all romantic mode in just one kiss!
It wasn't a very proper kiss, wasn't filled with any emotions. Well, there were some "weird unfamiliar feelings" but because it's just the beginning you've to wait for them to atleast grow some emotions.
