Wounded Hearts

Chapter 42: Close

Faith's POV

I woke up feeling huge arms wrapped around me tightly. I slowly opened my eyes and quietly gasped to find out how close Dario's sleeping face was to mine. Our noses were literally touching each others. I tried moving out of his embrace but he hugged me even tighter with possessiveness, his body was literally on top of me, his legs wrapped around my waist. I froze when I felt his breath on my neck, it sent tingles down my spine making me shiver in pleasure. 

I don't know what entered my mind but my arm automatically moved towards his face, my fingers tracing his handsome features. I was enchanted by his face, damn this man was beautiful. I ran my thumb softly across his eyelid and long lashes that touched his cheeks. My fingers then went down to his cheeks, nose then to his rough chapped lips, my thumb stroking his bottom lip. 

My mind went back to our wedding when he kissed me. I would lie if I had said I hated it, I hated to admit but I loved his lips on mine, it was purely amazing. "Good Morning, my love" a deep husky voice spoke snapping me out of my thoughts. We both stared intensely in each other's eyes, the silence surrounding us. I then felt him kissing my fingers which were still on his lips. I faked a cough and quickly moved away from him, now sitting up. 

I sighed and tied my hair into a bun now standing up from the bed. I glanced back at Dario who was laying there shirtless, leaning his head on his fist while his elbow was leaning on his pillow. I quickly looked away feeling my cheeks getting heated up. I heard him chuckle as he moved out of the bed. My eyes followed his each step until my eyes froze on his chest. "What the hell is that?" I pointed to his chest. He looked at me with amusement and looked down to his chest, only to smirk at me. 

"I'm sure you can read my love" he teased causing me to look at him in disbelief. I walked towards him and touched the letters at the side of his chest. I rubbed his skin with my fingers then moved back in shock. 

What the actual heck!

"When?" I asked still shocked. 

"A day before I married you" he replied causing my eyes to widen.

"Why?.....why the hell would you tattoo my name on your skin?....are you crazy?" I hissed at him. He chuckled and moved my hair from my face, pining it behind my ear. 

"Of course I am crazy, especially for you" he whispered, laying his forehead against mine. My breath hitched as I felt him breathing over my lips. He brought his fingers around my neck, just under my ears while his thumbs stroked my throat making me breathless. I was looking down all that time until I heard him speak. "Look at me" he commanded. 

I slowly looked up at him and found so many emotions shining in his eyes. "Beautiful" he whispered while staring down at my face. His thumbs that were stroking my throat were wanting to make me moan but I controlled it. "Um...today-" I faked a cough "um we are going to your office remember?" I asked wanting to change the subject but instead of answering he continued staring at me. It was as if he was staring right into my soul, like he could read everything about me.

"Dario I-" before I could finish off my sentence, he smashed his lips onto my making me freeze, my eyes wide in shock. He lips froze on mine, not moving at all. I slowly closed my eyes wanting to feel the warmth of his lips. He slowly started to move his lips on my frozen ones. His slow pace then started to turn into a furious kiss and I found myself responding to his pace. I could feel him smirk against my lips when I kissed him back. We slowly moved back not once taking our lips off from each other until my back hit the wall. 

He grabbed my waist and pulled me further into his chest as he plunged his tongue into my mouth fighting for dominance. I slightly moaned as he kissed me harder while he groaned taking full control over the kiss. I then broke the kiss, both of us heavily breathing until his lips started to trail down to my neck making me moan. He nipped, licked and sucked onto my skin until he found my sweet spot making me moan out loud. "Finally, I found it" he whispered sucking more onto it. I wrapped my hands around his neck pulling him further to my neck as I moaned while he continued sucking. 

My eyes snapped open when I realized what I was doing. I quickly pushed him away making him stumble a bit while we both looked at each other, breathless. He looked at me with so much emotion and brought his thumb to his lips kissing it to show how much he enjoyed what we just did. My cheeks were burning up with heat as I realized what just happened. If I hadn't stopped then we could have......I shook my head to erase those images. 

Before I had the chance to run away from this embarrassing moment, I felt him trapping me against the wall as he brought his hands on either side of my head in a flash making still. "f**k, you taste heavenly" he whispered in my ear making me pant. 

I bit my lip feeling nervous and weird. I have only made out with Atlas and no one else, so I was feeling weird when me and Dario were making out with each other but f**k it was amazing. I heard him growl as he pulled my bottom lip down which was trapped in between my teeth. "Mine" he growled placing his lips onto my again as he sucked on my bottom lip making me moan. 

I quickly moved my head to the side, while he rubbed his nose onto my cheek. "Get ready.....I'll wait for you downstairs for breakfast" he said with a dark tone and in a flash he was out of the room. Once he was gone, I took a sigh of relief and placed my hand over my pounding heart that was beating so dramatically against my chest. I ran my hand through my hair as I sighed. "What have I done?" I whispered to myself. 

But he is also my Husband....one day I will have to give in to him right?

"Urgg" I groaned and stormed off to the washroom. I was confused with my feelings. One side there was Atlas and on the other there was Dario. "Great, I'm stuck" my hands flew in the air.

Atlas's POV

I was in my office waiting for Faith to come in. I was craving to see her angelic face today and I was in a good mood as well. I want to see her reaction when she finds out about the amazing news, I'm sure she would be happy. I frowned when I saw no sign of Faith coming in. I was now looking out of my huge window looking down at the city below. "Lily....when Miss Abdella comes in, inform me" I said in cold tone. It was now 12pm and Faith would always come in at 10am. Where could she be?...she is never late......is she okay?.

"Sir....Ma'am isn't coming in today" I snapped my head to her in a flash making her flinch while she looked down. 

"What do you mean she isn't coming in today?...is she ill, is she hurt??" I asked in concern. "No Sir....M-ma'am a-actually r-re-signed" she said in a shaking tone. I froze at her words.

Resigned?

Faith resigned?

She f*****g resigned?

"Here is the letter Sir" she said and laid the letter on my table causing me to glare at the piece of paper.

I gritted my teeth, my hands clenching into fists. Ignoring Lily, I stormed out of my office fishing my phone out of my pocket. I called Faith's number but it was f*****g switched off. I growled and re-tried calling her phone but it was still f*****g off. What the f**k are you trying to do Faith?.....are you trying to get on my nerves because you sure damn are. I breathed heavily, my eyes shooting out rage. Every worker who went past flinched when they saw my face. 

I stormed back into my office and shut the door with a loud bang. "AHHHRGGGG" I shouted as I kicked the small table in front of me. I panted heavily with the thought of Faith leaving me. "You did so wrong Faith" I gritted out. I quickly called Faith's dad to find out where the f**k this woman was.

"Hel-"

"Where is Faith?" I asked after taking a deep breath cutting off his greeting. "I'm sorry Atlas, you must have found out about the news. I tried talking to her but she refused to listen. She wanted to re-sign because she wanted to work with Dario instead" her dad said with a sympathetic tone which made me angry....oh I was so damn f*****g angry. 

Before he could say anything I disconnected the call and stood there in silence, glaring at the ground. I then suddenly chuckled, raising my head up at the ceiling. "Now I understood what you are trying to do Mr Rizzo" I laughed and sat down on my chair, crossing my leg over another. I took out a cigarette and inhaled the toxic smoke. "You want to play a game with me huh?.....then I will show how to ace it" I smirked. 

Oh my innocent angel

I looked at her photo that was framed on my table. You think you can get away from me by not working here, tut tut tut, how wrong you are, how f*****g wrong you are.

"I already told you my angel, you can't leave me....YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME!.....YOU CAN'T, DO YOU HEAR ME?....YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME!" I shouted now breaking everything on my table while I spoke to her photo. I heard a knock on my door and someone walked in. I glared at the person in full rage while she shook in fear as she took in my attire. "GET OUT!....GET THE f**k OUT OF HERE!" I shouted making her scream in fear as she ran away crying.

I felt a tear dropping out of my eye as I just looked at my love's photo. I slumped down on my chair laying my head over my arms on the table as I traced her angelic features on the photo. "I'm sorry I shouted at you, I'm really sorry....please forgive me my angel...I'm sorry" a tear dropped out of eye.
