Chapter 6: Club Fight
(Andrea POV)
I took a quick shower and decided to curl my hair to give it extra bounce and volume. My hot red hair was looking so beautiful and now, I wanted to see the look on those Lombardi brothers’ faces when I showed them my new dress. I chose the winged liner to pop my jade-green eyes more. The dress was of Jade green color and I love its fabric. It was a sequin dress, so I didn’t know if it would look good on my luscious curves or not. But, with a bit of hope, I completed my makeup. I kept it natural and then slipped into my new dress. It was a shimmery material with a plunging neckline and had a high slit which will show them my beautifully toned legs. Thank God! It covered my stomach area to hide my ugly stretch marks otherwise, I would never be able to wear this beauty. I gave myself a flying kiss before slipping into the new strappy high heels. I have to admit one thing, Rico’s choice was excellent. I opened the door of my room and headed towards the lounge where he was present.
He was staring at something on his phone, but as soon as he heard my heels’ clicking sound, he looked towards me with a smile, but soon, his mouth hung open in surprise.
“What the f*ck!” I was ready for his compliment when I heard someone’s voice on my left side. I turned to look at the person and Ciro was present there with Gabrielle.
“sh*t! You are looking hot as f*ck, Angel,” I heard Gabriele’s compliment and I blushed hard. But, My eyes got stuck on Ciro, I wanted to hear something from him, but he clenched his jaws like he was controlling his anger.
“You look good, Hacker!” My smile faltered a bit but I quickly shoved his comment at the back of my mind and turned my attention towards Rico.
“Am I looking good?” I asked and blinked innocently. He laughed and strode towards me before showing his phone in his jeans pocket. He crashed his lips on mine without any warning, and it surprised me a bit. I quickly reeled back from this and kissed him back. He groaned loudly and deepened our kiss.
“This girl will be the death of us,” Gabriele muttered and left the Kitchen. His sinful touch was so heady that I forgot for a minute that we weren’t in a room.
“Rico!!! I have already warned you about it,” We heard Ciro’s stern voice behind us and we broke our kiss. We were panting hard like we had just finished a marathon.
“You will be late,” He reminded us and showed us his watch. It was already nine, and we couldn’t spend the full night there, so we were going to be late at that rate. Rico nodded and threaded his fingers in mine before walking towards the elevator.
I don’t know why, but it seems like Ciro was jealous of us, like he didn’t want us to get along or involved with each other. Maybe he was a little skeptical about my loyalty, but what about Rico? And, why wasn’t he saying anything in response? Like he can ask him to mind his own business or something like that but I didn’t dare to intervene in their brotherly relationship. They were old enough to handle their sh*t, so it would be better for me if I stay away from all this.
“What is going on in this pretty mind of yours?” He asked while taking a turn and I shook my head in no.
“Nothing! Just thinking about my circumstances. I can’t believe that Avalon is already dead, and I am out of that hell just like that. I mean, I was planning my freedom for the last few months, but I didn’t know that God would hand it to me on a silver platter,” I answered to change the subject, and he shrugged his shoulders in response.
“Yeah! Fate works in mysterious ways,” He added, and I agreed with him on this. Our car stopped in front of the beautiful club and I read its name on the neon sign ‘Devil’s Den’ and I smiled. I was about to open my door when Rico did it for me.
“Such a gentleman!” He winked at me.
“You have no idea,” I giggled, and then put my hand on his hand. He handed the key to the Valet and we entered the club. It was full of loud wild music, booze, sweat, s*x, and exhilarating energy.
“Wow! It is looking promising,” He pressed a kiss on my knuckles and nodded.
“You will see! Let’s go,” We headed towards the bar area, and he ordered two special drinks for us. I started taking in the experience but soon my eyes were glued to the dance floor. People were dancing freely without a care of the world. A smile crept to my lips.
“Wanna dance?” He whispered and I nodded eagerly.
“After this drink,” He ordered two more and I downed it in one go. I don’t even know the names of the drinks. I was just looking forward to the wild dance. Finally! I will have the chance to let myself loose. I took his hand and headed towards the dance floor. He put his hand around my waist and I started moving my body at the rhythm. It wasn’t hard at all to lose myself on this music track.
“F*ck! Keep doing this, and I will f*ck you here in front of all these people,” I turned my face to see his expression. His eyes were dark with lust, passion, and possessiveness,” My breath hitched, and I bit my lower lip and leaned towards him to whisper something.
“Is that a promise?” I asked, a feral growl left his lips and he circled his sturdy arm around my waist before thrusting his hips on my ass and I gasped loudly.
“Look what you have done, Butterfly!” A small wanton moan escaped my lips, but I quickly shut my mouth, but not before hearing his dark chuckle.
“Let’s go! I want a drink to cool myself, otherwise, I am not gonna survive this night,” I giggled and shook my head in no.
“Nah! I am good. I will catch you after a few minutes,” I answered, and he nodded before stepping off of the dance floor. I felt a dark desire pooling inside my belly after witnessing my effect on him. I noticed someone’s gaze on me and I turned to look at the person. Rico was watching me from the bar stool, his dark gaze left a trail of goosebumps on my whole body. I was basking in his attention, so I started moving my body more sensually, knowing full well how it would affect him. It seems the world didn’t matter at this moment. It was just me and Rico and the music.
I loved how he was giving his attention to me like nothing existed except me for me. A seductive smile appeared on my lips and I turned my attention away. I knew he was still looking at me, and I was happy.
“You are looking so hot, baby,” I heard a deep voice and I turned to look at the person.
“Excuse me?” I looked at the person who was giving me the creeps.
“Don’t worry! I have money. Just name your price,” He said, and put a hand on my arm.
“No, please! I am not interested in any such thing,” I answered and was about to move away when he grabbed me by the nape and turned towards him harshly, before roughly pressing his lips on me. His one hand was yanking on my dress so hard that I felt that he would rip it off my body. I screamed in panic and suddenly his weight lifted off my body. I looked towards Rico, who was looking at him with angry eyes. His face was red but the darkness that was lurking around him scared the sh*t out of me. He punched so hard in his face that a sickening crack echoed in the air. I didn’t realize when they stopped the music and that everyone stopped because my full attention was on Rico. I can see the feral look in his eyes.
“How dare you touch what’s mine!!! She belongs to the Lombardi brothers and if someone dares to mess with her or even look at her the wrong way…He is dead,” He declared, and my heart missed the beat. He looked like a feral animal on a hunt, and even I felt fear of him at that moment. His fist started pummeling him again and again, and I felt no one looked more hot than him at that moment.
