Lyla and her Leprechaun

7

"Lyla, dear, I'm changing clothes why don't you and then we can go to a market." Dante told me and I nodded slowly. "I will get our bags. Go up stairs, door right in front of it is the master." He told me and I watched him go around to the front.

He continued out the front door and I stopped at the stairs and jogged up. Looking at the four doors on either side before seeing the one directly in front of the end of the stairs.

I pushed it open, saw elegant paintings on the wall, a balcony with two doors leading out. There was two chairs out there and a small table. Walking farther into the room there was a big bed with like a bench next to it. I saw some books, a printer, and notebooks on just one side. The other was just a way to crawl in.

It kind of looked like Dante would be working in bed. Or that he was at least set up to. I walked over and turned to sit on it. Wondering if it was as firm as it looked. I basically sank down, my hips did a weird cracking sound as I sank all the way back to lay flat.

I heard the downstairs door open and I tried to sit up but it just felt too good so I relaxed my body and let my back take the time to relax.

I took a deep breath and knew the moment Dante entered the room. I heard the bags hit the floor and he laughed lightly and came over to stand above me.

"I guess you like the bed." He smiled and I nodded slowly. "I have to admit, this is an amazing sight. Seeing you on my bed."

"Get used to it. I might just get out of bed for the cooking classes only." I told him and turned a bit so I could crawl up towards the pillows and he laughed.

"I do agree that you need a good resting vacation, but like I told you on the plane... I can't keep you in bed, I made plans to avoid taking you-"

"You mean deflowering your virgin mate?" I cut him off, seeing his face pale just slightly. I giggled again and turned onto my back once I got the pillow to my fluffiness.

"Lyla, we can't just-"

"How about you come up here and hold me. Show me what it feels like to be in your bed instead of us cramped in mine or on a plane together." I raised my knees, feeling bold and my dragon was starting to burn up, heating my skin.

It was a reflex, a way to make sure my body would relax his into us, mating us, and when I was in heat it would make it all that much easier for us to conceive.

He raised himself up onto the bed, his hands making their way up towards my face, and he kept going, smirking at me as he grabbed another pillow from my side and tucking it under his chin as he looked at me.

"You my hot little mate, are making this entire room hot. I am not taking your virginity today." His hands reached up, tracing over my nose before tapping the tip and smiling as he got up slightly and leaned over me. "But I will hold you, and kiss you, and make sure you are very very relaxed..." He leaned down, skimming his lips over my cheeks, going towards my eyes so I closed them. I felt something, like it was crawling up my skin. I blinked them open and saw him across the room, coming out of two doors that showed it was a closet behind him.

"What just happened?" I asked and looked down to my legs. I was wearing tights, a green dress with a gold chain around my neck that led down past my boobs.

"You took a nap while I got ready to go."

"I don't remember falling asleep." I told him and he smirked.

"I kissed your eyes love. I put you to sleep." He told me, walking over and kissing my forehead and then his hands skimmed down my sides. "I do like you in dark green."

"Is that because you're part leprechaun?" I asked with a laugh and put my hands over his shoulders and he smirked.

"I am slightly offended you think that is why I like green. I like green because of what it looks like on you. It's bringing out your freckles, makes you look like you are glowing." He smiled and I shook my head.

"And the gold?" I asked knowing I didn't own anything like this. It was long, and it hummed against the back of my neck where it touched my bare skin.

"Something for your dragon. I know what your kind are like. When we go to Ireland one day... you can have all the gold to rub against in my vault." He told me and I felt my Dragon push and my eyes went a little hazy. I could just tell that she was looking at him. Mooning over his promise of gold and I felt myself leaning in, kissing him in another second and I pushed back for control.

Kissing him how I wanted to, not how she wanted to please him. He pulled back after a moment or two and looked a bit confused.

"That felt like I was kissing two different people." He told me, looking at me and I blushed hard.

"Your promise of gold brought my dragon out. She wants to please you." I bit my bottom lip, wondering what he would say to that.

"I want you both happy. If gold makes that happen-"

"She wants gold... I want you." I told him and his eyes turned a soft shade of green, and I had to wonder if his eye color gave away his feelings all the time, or if he was just letting his guard down around me.

"That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard... but I can't be surprised. Every time I kiss you, you taste sweet." I smiled and watched his eyes as he leaned in to kiss me again. Keeping complete control over my dragon, I let him have his way with my mouth. He was showing me how he liked to be kissed, and while he tongue danced around in my mouth I took the time to do the same to him when he started to pull away.

His hands on my sides tightened, he groaned and pushed his body against mine before pulling his mouth away and clicking his tongue.

"I made a reservation for tonight. If you want to wear what I put you in we should leave now." I looked down at the dress and the gold and just nodded. I went towards the other end of the bed and opened what I knew my shoes had been put in and slipped on black flats.

"We can go." I told him, looking back, and on reaction as he took a step towards me I help my hand out for him to take and he grabbed it, warming my already heated skin and he led me out of the bedroom and down the stairs.

There was a car in the driveway and I looked around to see if there was a driver and when we walked to it, I realized there was no back seat for us. 

"You are driving?" I asked and he nodded, clicking the keys until the door opened up by itself and he let me get in.

"It's my car darling. I will be driving us everywhere we can go until we leave." He told me and then reached up to shut my door for me.

I waited for him to get in and start it. And when he did it was like a giant cat purring. It must have been louder outside because the hum was almost too loud inside to talk.

We drove, the gate opening and closing without him touching a button. I looked out the window as he drove around the hills and watched the houses around us get smaller and smaller until we were closer to the casinos and restaurants.

He pulled into one and I reached over to unbuckle myself as he got out and for some reason he locked the door until he came around and I looked at it and couldn't figure out how to unlock it besides reaching over to his side of the car.

He got to my side, hit his little buttons again and held his hand out when the door opened all the way. I let him help me out and I kept his gaze as he pulled me in close. Outside looked busy and crowded, and I hoped we wouldn't be crowded as we ate as well. I wanted tonight to be getting to know about him more.

I felt him holding me tight and looked to his face and saw his eyes turning a deep shade of grey and I followed his line of sight and saw someone watching us. He was smirking like he knew he got a rise out of Dante, and I got the chills and burrowed deeper into Dante.

"Keep close to me if he comes close to us at any time tonight." Dante whispered into my ear and I nodded against him and then.

"How do you know him?" I asked him as we got put into a private room.

"He is a mean snake that got in the way of a few deals here." Dante said and pulled out my chair. "He might think you are a client, but for now... he isn't allowed in." He told me and I watched him walk from behind me to across from me.

"So this is where you bring clients?" I asked looking around and he smiled and leaned on the table.

"Yeah... helps when you own the restaurant." He told me and I paused and started looking around the place in a whole new light.

"You own this place?" I asked and he laughed lightly and my eyes landed on him again.

"I own a couple restaurants, some hotels, a casino... lots and lots of things dear." He told me and I saw a waiter come in, a wine bottle already in hand and handed it over as soon as Dante held his hand open.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah. That's why I travel. I wont have to, if I decide not to." He told me and I just nodded slowly and kept that thought in my head. "How soon would you want to have kids?"

"I don't know." I said quickly, not knowing when that would actually be a factor. "Maybe not so soon. We're both going to live a long time. I think I would like to know you inside and out first." I told him and blushed with how that sounded.

"Darling... I am sure it is I who is going to know you inside and out." He winked and started pouring me a glass of wine. He didn't fill mine as much as he filled his, and I had to wonder if he knew how much of a lightweight I was.

I took a sip and loved the after taste as it went down my throat. I licked my lips and hummed. "It is delicious." I told him and he nodded. His smile coming back and I wondered why. "What?"

"I own the wine company." He told me and I laughed lightly thinking he was kidding, and he just stayed serious.

"You own a winery." I stated and he nodded slowly. "How rich are you Dante?"

"Rich enough to never need to work again. Let alone let you work yourself to the bone anymore." He told me and I felt my mouth drop open.

"Wowing women with your riches again Dante?" I looked towards where the waiter had come in and saw the man from before, the one that he had called a snake.

"Get out."

"Come now Dante. Don't you want to introduce me?"

"Get out before I take you out Jean." Dante stood, knocking the table just a bit as he got between us in under a second.

"Hello there little morsel. I am Jean-Claude Morris." He tried to reach around Dante as he got within a foot of me.

"You have ten seconds." Dante told him and I made sure he wouldn't touch me as I reached up to calm Dante down.

"She is a beauty Dante. You always know how to pick them... is she another casino girl?"

"Casino girl?" Did I look like a girl he just picked up from the street?

"Oh he hasn't told you? He is a casino rat. Loves picking up the bed bunnies and taking them home. Showing off his wealth and making sure they have to walk all the way down the hill in the morning. Giving each of them a small piece of gold as a thank you." The man laughed, my dragon reared her head at the mention of him giving gold to other women he had in his bed in the house he took us to.

"Out!" I shouted, standing up, pushing Dante's hand away from me and getting into this strangers face.

"Be warned darlin... just saw the gold already around your neck. Figured you should know what is going to happen in the morning." He smirked at him, winking at me as he made his way out of the room the way we came in.

"Dearie-"

"Don't, not right now Dante." I told him and moved to grab my wine glass and down it at the thought that he let me lay back in a bed he had many women in. And that he gave me gold like he did all those other women.

I was either going to be sick all over, or try and forget it with more wine. Not wanting to be embarrassed twice I snatched the wine bottle and took a long gulp from the tip and sat back down.

He moved back to his chair slowly. His eyes down and when the waiter came in I ordered what I wanted off the menu, which was really just the first thing I knew I had before that I liked. Dante didn't order anything and I waited to eat slowly. They had brought in the third bottle of wine with the food and I finished half before my food was gone and I stood up ready to leave.

Dante grabbed my arm as we walked out, and I was too wobbly and nauseated to walk on my own. He got me back to his big fancy car and I was asleep by the time he started it up to head back to his large house on the top of the hill.

Whatever was going to happen when I woke up had to make this whole trip better.
