FALLING FOR THE DON: A DANGEROUS AFFAIR

Acceptance

LILLY’S POV

He looked at me as if he couldn’t believe that I was doing this again. What I couldn’t understand was why he didn’t want me to ask questions or object to anything that he was suggesting. I couldn’t understand why he wanted to treat me like I was his child. He kept insisting that he was doing all this to protect me but wouldn’t tell me exactly what he was protecting me from.

Max was still hiding a lot from me, and if it wasn’t for the fact that I had overheard him talking to Luca, I wouldn’t have known what exactly was going on. To be honest, I still didn’t know what was going on, but I had heard Max clearly tell Luca that my life was in danger.

From what I had heard in their conversation, Max had an enemy, and this guy was trying to use me to get to Max. I hated the fact that I was being dragged into something that I knew absolutely nothing about but what I hated the most was the fact that Max was still trying so e hard to keep this information from me despite the fact that I had asked him countless times.

“Who wants to kill me?” I asked him one more time, he was acting like he hadn’t hers or understood my question but it was very loud and clear.

“what do you mean Lilly?” he asked me

“I mean, there is obviously someone who is trying to kill me or hurt me and I think I have the right to now who he is and what is have done to him” I said

“Or is it a woman? Is it another one of your exes?’ I asked him and he shook his head.

“you have an over active imagination. Are you really going to fight with me every single day? Don’t you want to enjoy this place?” he asked me

“how can I enjoy anything when all I am told is that I am in danger but you wont even tell me who is threatening my safety’ I snapped

“Who is it that you upset so much that they think taking my life will make up for what you did?’ I asked him once more, he was now fully naked but I was not going to allow his big d**k and sexy body to distract me from what I wanted to know.

“I already answered your questions, Lilly. I don’t know what else you want me to say to you. Everything is being dealt with. Can we just enjoy this time that we have together?” he asked, and I shook my head.

“how will I enjoy anything when you are keeping secrets? It’s pretty obvious that my life is in danger. I heard you talking to Luca earlier” I let him know, and his face hardened but softened up again almost as quickly as it had hardened. There were parts of himself that Max was working overtime to keep from me. Sometimes, I felt like I didn’t know him at all, and being so far away from home with someone I barely knew was very reckless.

“Is there anything you didn’t know about me?” I asked

" I have literally told you everything about me but you won’t even tell me anything about your parents except for the fact that they passed away. You won’t even let me ask you about the kind of people they were. Every time the topic of family comes up between us you tense up and I end up only talking about mh family. That’s not even the only thing that bothers me, you refuse to discuss anything that had to do with you business sometimes you make me feel like you are keeping things from me because you don’t trust me. But if you don’t rest me why are you with me?’ I asked him, I hated how easy it was for me to start crying.

“Lilly-“

“No! If you dont trust me why do you bother yourself b keeping me around? Isn’t it more of an inconvenience to you?” I asked him and he sighed

“I am sorry for keeping things from you, Lilly, but can we just have a good time here? This is a perfect place for us to relax, and I know that you will soon come to appreciate the fact that you can take your classes online. I know I may have overstepped a boundary but I still say, that in my defense everything I have done, I did out of concern for you” he said coming closer to me and kissing my forehead instantly sending shivers down my spine

“I hate it when you do that” I said putting my arms around his neck

“do what?’ he asked me

“Change the topic when it’s about something that you don’t want to talk about” I said and he just continued kissing me. Max knew the kind of power he had over me and I think he loved it becase he knew he would always get his way with me.

Damn it…why did he have so much control over me? Why couldn’t I just stay mad at him? I almost hated the way he made me feel. A single touch from him was good enough to make me melt in his hands.

He cupped my face in his hands and looked at me as if he was about to profess his love for me again, I wanted him to do so, but he didn’t. I could never understand why if was hard for him to express his feelings for me, I didn’t understand why telling me he loved me always seemed like it was something that made him weak. He wasn’t weak in my eyes, as a matter of fact that I found him to be a little scary at times. Or maybe he just didn’t love me as much as I thought he did. Maybe I was just delusional and maybe I was projection my own love for him on myself.

Instead, he kissed me passionately and lifted me. All the tension that had built up inside of me was released, and I had the familiar feeling of being at home in his arms. As much as I hated the way he could just change the topic and control my body, I would be lying if I said that i didn’t enjoy surrendering my body to him and the way he made me feel whenever I was in his arms.

I don’t even know when he turned the shower on, but I was caught off guard by the cold water that first came rushing down. I pulled away from his lips, but he sought mine again and distracted me from the now warm water. He put me down and started taking off my clothes. I had almost forgotten that I was still dressed because Max had completely consumed my whole body and mind.

I was too excited and eager to find out what his plan for me was. Our serial chemistry was always over the room and I was sure no one else in the world ever made love the way we did. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world because all the complaints I may have had about Max always disappeared when we made love. Max may have been selfish in other parts of our relationship but he was very considerate of me when it came to us making love

I wanted him to just take me right now, but he was taking his time. He cupped my now naked and wet breasts in his hands and continued devouring me with kisses. He inserted his finger in my wet p***y and started f*****g me with it, I let out a low moan as he continued.

“You like that?” he asked me and I nodded with my eyes closed. I suddenly found myself feeling shy, it must have been caused by the way I had been acting before we got here.

“Open your eyes for me” he commanded and I obliged hesitantly. Max hated it when I avoided eye contact with him during love making.

“Now tell me that you like it, I want you to use your words,” he said as he started rubbing my c******s with his thumb while his other finger continued thrusting in and out of my wet p***y that was on the verge of erupting.

“Please don’t stop…am going to come ‘I blurted out as I neared my release. My eyes pleaded for him to help me find my release.

“Are you going to be good from now on?” he asked me and I nodded.

“I told you to use your words” he repeated as his strokes slowed down but he continued

“yes…I will be good….please ‘I begged.

“please what?”

“Make me come…’ I begged and with that, he lifted me and I wrapped my legs around his waist. In one swift move, he was inside me thrusting in and out. Each thrust pushing me over the edge and making every part of my body explode with pleasure.

“Say my name,” he said as he pounded into me

“Ma- oh f**k’ I said breathlessly as I came again, my whole body trembling as he held me tight.

After that, my whole boy went numb and so did he as he found his own release. We had barely showered but I can’t say I had complaints about that. It scared me to think of the control that this man had over me, the control that I had given him. It was now almost as if I had forgotten that I had been mad at him. I loved Max and I wanted to overlook every flaw he had but it was almost impossible for me to, since he hadn’t opened himself enough for me to know what his flaws were. I couldn’t blindly accept parts of him that had not yet been revealed to me. I needed him to show me who he truly was without any fear of judgment or fear that I would leave him. I also had parts of myself that I was embarrassed about but I was willing to open ip to him and tell him everything if only he would commit to me in the way I wanted him to.

I even felt silly and paranoid, Max was capable of making me feel me things that I never thought I could feel yet here I was questioning his integrity. Maybe I was reading too much into this situation and maybe I was blowing things out of proportion, maybe he really did have a business deal that went sour. I had my suspicions but no proof, I had to accept what he was telling me no matter how unbelievable it sounded.

What I couldn’t understand no matter how hard I tried to was why I was the one who was being threatened. It wasn’t like I was married to Max and it wasn’t like I was known as his woman. I had never even been introduced to anyone that he worked with, I had never met anyone except Luca and the few people that worked for him. The only comforting thing about my situation right now was the hope that I was holding on to, the home that being the target because of Max was because I was his greatest weakness. I mean he jad done all this to keep me safe so didn’t tt mean that he would do ajything for me? Did my reasoning even make any sense?
