Mobsters Desire

Elena's pov

Staring at myself I smile. I'm happy.

I don't remember the last time I smiled but it felt nice having this news. My parents were finally able to get a new place and starting today they were moving from our old one. Based off of what my sister told me it's seemed very lovely and a major upgrade from our old place, way nicer. I'm excited for them and maybe hopefully I can visit them soon, considering that my little sister wants to show me around the new place.

What I do like about it is that it's more safe for her, the neighborhood consists of a lot of elderly people and lovely quiet shops where nothing happens.

A lot happens within three weeks and luckily they were all nice. My family gets a new home, I can finally stand up, get some privacy, and Luciano coming back in a good mood or so what I believe so.

He hides emotions a lot but at times he will let his guard down. It's nice seeing him smile and have a simple conversation with me. Always asking me If I was doing good which was nice of him considering that I was in bed rest. He would never tell me what's been going on which i'm grateful for since I don't really want to know what's been happening since there's been a few times where he came back with little droplets of blood.

Hearing a knock coming from the door I turn my head at it, walking towards it I stop in front of it. I didn't know who it was but I at least know it's not Luciano.

"Hi." I smiled slightly at Lorenzo as he towers over me. I wasn't surprised to see him in his usual outfit, tucked in dress shirt with a weapon sticking out of the border of his slack.

"Volevo sapere che stavi bene prima di partire." Translation: Wanted to know you were okay before I left.

Lightly nodding my head at him I send him a reassuring smile. Without another word he turns around and heads out. 

'Stay safe.'

Closing the door behind me I walked towards the bathroom. Considering that I had the whole house to myself I wanted to take this advantage and give myself a much needed relaxation bath. Luciano's bedroom was beautiful but his bathroom was amazing. Gray and white. Fancy. Aesthetic for sure. Everything was pleasing, seeing how white the sinks, showers,and floor were white was amazing.

Bending down I plug in the tub as I began to run the water warm. It's slowly starting to get into the fall season and I was into it. The thought of being in fuzzy socks and some comfortable fuzzy pjs makes me excited, it brings a smile out of me. Stripping out of my nightgown and undergarments I quickly add some rose scented shampoo into the bath before I went in.

Releasing a soft hum I carefully laid down on the tub. The warm water consumed my body making me feel amazing. Letting my hands mix the shampoo into the water I could start seeing small bubbles appearing on the surface, covering the clear water and making it smell like fresh roses.

"I took your heart... I did things to you only lovers would do in the dark made you a god." 

Reaching over I pick up a bar of soap sitting near the edge of he tub, Getting it wet I smear it around my neck and down my body.

"Pre-Spokes and pre-arches will tell me what you did wrong, but hey." As I rubbed soap onto my face I wondered if having Luciano here with me would make me feel better. I gotten used to him and now when I'm by myself I feel lonely. 

I knew if he were here we would be busy doing each other, not having time to do anything else.

"You made a man flip, what do I say? 

To make me exist?

ooh, stranger.... Still don't know my name-" I immediately stop singing and cover my exposed body as the door to the bathroom opened up. Letting out a sigh of relieved as I saw Luciano walking in made me feel slightly better. At least it wasn't anyone else.

"You arrived early," I blush as I stare into the water, I didn't want him seeing me like this but a part of me liked that he was. Looking back up I realised he was leaning against the sink as he observed me. His sleeves were rolled up, exposing his tattoos running up his arm as it flexed naturally. Crossing his arms over his chest I drool.

I Immediately stop as I noticed his mischievous smirk, his eyes seeming to get dark as he began to think. It's time for me to get going and escape while I can. Feeling around the water I found the plug, unplugging it so the water could go away. As the water was going away I realized that the only towel that was in the bathroom was right next to Luciano....

"Can you pass me the t-towel?" I asked as I stutter at the end. He seemed to be contemplating whether he would do such thing. 

I began to get worried, I didn't want him seeing me naked even if he's seen me like this before. The rolls that form make me feel self conscious but it doesn't bother him... Somehow.

Seeing him grabbing the towel I smile at him, appreciating the fact that he was. As he got near I reach for the towel, about to grab it but he yanks it back to him. I looked at him rather confused, all that just not to hand it to me?

"levarsi" Translation: Stand up. He calmly tells me as he unfolds the towel, extending it as he was ready to wrap me in it. I wasn't going to lie but that shocked me in a way. My heart fluttered at the nice gesture. Carefully getting up from the bathtub and stepping out I walked towards him, getting near him he wrapped me, covering my body. His arms warped around me, hugging me.

Warmth. I smiled shyly as I stare at his chest. It was nice being close to him.

Looking up at him I realised he was observing me, he loves doing that but I'm not sure why. Leaning down I closed my eyes, feeling his lips against my temple, giving me a peck as he removes his arms from me.

"Vestiti e incontriamoci fuori tesoro." Translation: Get dressed and meet me outside darling. Within seconds I was left alone in the bathroom, wondering what that was about.

__________

As the doors shut behind me I gasped at the view. This was definitely something i've never experienced, it was a sweet gesture- very thoughtful. With each step I took I let my eyes wander around, looking at each and every single item on display. The setting was beautiful. The night sky covered in light clouds, a crazed moon could be seen from afar as clouds slowly covered it. 

Following the cemented path, lights along the sides lighting up my way from afar I could see Luciano standing in front of table.

Even though it was starting to get cold it felt amazing. Can this be happening?

I laugh in my head as I thought that only princesses would get this type of treatment from their prince but here I am in the mobsters world!

As I got closer to Luciano I felt a small smile forming as this was lovely, I was shocked and fluttered. The way he was dressed made me attracted to him, his usual business attire with his woodsy scent. What I did notices is that his button up shirt wasn't fully button up, about four buttons were undone exposing a bit of his tattoos against his sculpted god made body.

"Ci hai messo abbastanza a lungo." Translation: Took you long enough hun.

Feeling myself getting red I looked down at the floor, embarrassed that I made him wait a little too long in the cold. Apologizing I look back at him, he had a smile plastered on his face as his eyes soften on me. The look made me melt, it made me feel loved. He is emotionless but when he does show emotion it's something you will fall in love with, you can read it from his eyes that he cares... He cares about me.

'Step out!' standing on my tippy toes I let my hands est on his chest as I lean in, closing my eyes as I placed a soft kiss against his lips. His arms immediately wrapped around my waist, bring me closer as he wanted a passionate kiss. I-I love him.

"Non dovevi farlo." Translation: You didn't have to do this. Leaning in for another kiss he muffled out, "I needed to." Backing up slightly, still being close to him I gave him a confused look. He didn't have to do anything like this, I was ok with a small dinner in the house, not a bunch of flowers surrounding the place with lights around lighting the area up for us.

"Devo davvero dirtelo, piccola?" Translation: Do I really have to tell you baby?

Pulling me closer to him till there isn't anymore space between us he peck my lips one more time.

"My dear Elena this world moves fast for me," Pausing he kisses my lips against making me smile at him. "I don't want you as my girlfriend, I want you as my wife- a queen along my side. Elena Lioni, will you do me the honor and marry me my love."

I haven't been with this man for a year, not even five months but over the course of this time I've learn to accept everything about him and slowly understand him. I wasn't kidnapped nor forced to stay as a prisoner so I truly stayed here on my own, helping my family as I slowly discovers love. Am I finally accepting him as my lover? My love? Everything?

"In this world everything does move fast for you. You can't take baby steps like everyone else but I'm willing to move fast with you in this world, I would be honored to become your wife Luciano."

Lifting me up I wrapped my legs around him as he smashed his lips against mine, passion and love could be felt as we both kissed each other. I didn't care if he had a ring but I was willing to leap and take control of my life now. I can't be scared anymore, my past self isn't existing anymore, I have to chance for my safety and his.

Because I decided to not be the same girl as before I made a bold move.

"Right here right now Lorenzo..." I didn't care if we were outside but I wanted him, whatever happens will be sorted out the following morning but for now we enjoy this moment.
