The Italian Don

Chapter Two

---------RHEA----------

My eyes opened slowly and I sighed softly, trying to stretch. I looked down at the heavily tattooed arm draped across my stomach and heard the soft breathing of the sleeping man behind me. Everything was just so peaceful, and I closed my eyes, trying to savor the last few moments of peace that I knew I would have.

"I know you're awake."Lukas mumbled in my ear.

"Hello." I mumbled, my cheeks turning a slight shade red.

He chuckled slightly, before moving to stand. I turned to face him as he stood, yawning and stretching in front of me.

"There's a bathroom in the back if you want to shower and change. We land in two hours." I nodded and got up, but not before Lukas pulled me back.

"One thing I want you to always remember Rhea. You're mine." Lukas whispered in my ear, causing me to scoff and roll my eyes.

"I will never be yours." I said bitterly.

"You're already mine. You just don't know it yet."

"Go to hell." I spat.

"Only if you meet me there."

I turned and slapped him, face turning to the side.

His jaw clenched, as his hand came up to cup his cheek.

"Go f**k yourself, ass." I hissed, before spinning around, stalking over to the bathroom.

I angrily pulled off my clothes and turned on the shower, stepping under the scalding hot spray. I began washing my body, my mind drifting off. I still can't f*****g believe that my parents sold me. No, that my own f*****g father sold me. Was the company really more important than his own daughter? I know he said it was because of Lukas threatening him, but I still believe that something could've worked out, without it ending with me being sold. 

I got out the shower, reaching for a towel. I dried my skin a little, before wrapping the towel around me. There was a brand new toothbrush on the counter and I brushed my teeth, reflecting on my tired, light blue eyes, and my inky curls, which were piled on my head. After I brushed my teeth, I hesitantly walked outside, where Lukas was, since I didn't have my bags with me.

"Where are my bags?" I muttered to him, my hands tightening to hold the towel in place firmly.

He glanced at me, before standing and walking out the room, returning moments later with my two suitcases, and handbag. I opened the first suitcase, pulling out a red lace thong, and a matching bra, before grabbing a pair of dark blue high waisted jeans, a black off the shoulder sweater, and a pair of black thigh high boots. I took out a little netted bag that I stashed in, placing my dirty clothes in it, and grabbed my deodorant, some lotion, and my favorite body mist, and quickly headed back into the bathroom, after closing up my suitcase, and grabbing up my makeup bag. I took off the towel, leaving it on the counter for the moment. I pulled on the thong, taking up the bra and reaching around to hook it. I put my deodorant on, and began to lotion my skin. As I bent over to lotion my legs, the bathroom door flew open, and I screamed, spinning around.

"What the f**k, Lukas?!" I shouted, trying to cover up.

He stormed over to me, lifting me up and placing me on the counter.

"Lu-" His lips was on my mine the minute I began to speak, and I gasped, not really expecting it. I had my hands on his shoulders, ready to push him away, but when he spread my legs, to fit his body in between them, I whimpered softly, wrapping my legs around his waist, and my arms around his neck, responding just as passionately as he did. He licked the seam my lips, but I kept my mouth shut. He growled, biting my lip, hard causing me to moan out in pain. He quickly shoved his tongue into my mouth, both of us fighting for dominance. He squeezed my thigh, which distracted me and I groaned, tangling my hands in his hair. I pulled away from him, and he pulled back from me, both of us staring into each other's eyes. I looked away first, a blush spreading across my cheeks.

"Leave." I mumbled, not looking at him.

He huffed, walking back out of the bathroom, while I tried to compose myself.

Great, now I need a new pair of f*****g underwear. I rolled my eyes in annoyance, wrapping the towel around me once again, and walking over to my handbag, where I kept a couple of spare underwear. I got another red thong, and gave Lukas a nasty glare, as he smirked at me. I walked back into the bathroom, cleaning myself up, and putting on the fresh underwear. I finished lotioning my skin, and began putting my jeans on, huffing as I struggled to get it over my ass. I'm pretty sure I looked comical at the moment, as I jumped up and down, trying to get the jeans to fit over my huge ass. I panted as I finally got it up over my ass, taking a few seconds to catch my breath. I buttoned my jeans easily, pulling the zipper up, before throwing the sweater over my head. I sprayed on some of my body mist, and began messing around withs my sweater, fixing it. I decided that I wanted to do some heavy makeup today, and didn't really give a f**k what anyone thought about it. I put on some primer, before applying my foundation and blending it seamlessly. I put some concealer on to help cover and brighten under my eyes, and I did my contour, after shaping my brows. I put on some setting powder, leaving it to bake, while I did the rest of my makeup. I decided that I didn't really want to do much eyeshadow today, so I settled for some natural colors, with a winged liner. Since my eyelashes are already long, I forego lashes, and pop on some mascara. Lastly, I decided to go with a bold red lip, to make my lips pop, so I lined my lips, before putting on the bright red liquid lipstick. I then brushed off the excess setting powder. Satisfied with my makeup, I lastly sprayed my face with some setting spray, so that it would last. I took my hair down from the mess of curls that was on top of my head, and detangled it, before making a side part, so I could slick it back into a low ponytail. After I was finished with my hair, I threw the towel into the hamper in the bathroom, and made my way out of the bathroom, barefooted with all my things in hand. I put away all my stuff, before sitting, and taking up one side of my boots.I slowly maneuvered it up my leg, before putting on the other. I haven't heard a word from Lukas, since I walked out of the bathroom, and I looked at him to see his intense grey eyes already staring at me.

"What?" I asked, as I dug through my handbag for a pair of gold hoops. 

I put them on, along with gold two necklaces; one that had my name on it, and one that had a cross on it. I took out my bracelet that also had my name on it, along with a couple of gold rings I was fortunate enough to buy with my own money. I also put on my yellow gold Rolex, glancing up at Lukas, since he didn't answer me.

"What?" I repeated, a frown forming on my face.

"You look beautiful." He said, standing up to come over to me.

I quickly stood, before he could touch me, and he frowned. I was still almost a foot shorter then him even though my boots had four inch heels. He tugged me into him, and I immediately tried wiggling out of his grasp. His hands tightened on me, and I stopped struggling, realizing that he wasn't going to let me go.

"f**k. You drive me crazy." He whispered.

He lifted me, forcing me to wrap my legs around his waist, as he dipped his head down and began placing little kisses on my neck. I whimpered as he began sucking on my skin, biting down a little harder than necessary. 

"Wow. You couldn't wait one day." I heard Apollo snort from behind me, and I yelped, unwrapping my legs from Lukas' waist and trying to wiggle out of his arms.

"f**k off." Lukas mumbled, finally letting me go.

Apollo shook his head in amusement, looking at the two of us.

"We land in 15 minutes." He said, before walking out the room.

I took a seat, strapping on my seatbelt, and looking out the window. I felt Lukas sit right next to me, and he strapped on his seatbelt, his gaze burning into the side of my face. I didn't say anything, but I felt his hand creep onto my thigh, making me glare at him, and slap his hand off. He smirked at me, placing his hand back on my thigh, which only made me slap his hand off harder.

"Would you stop?" I snapped.

"Nope." 

I rolled my eyes in irritation, shooting daggers at him. I huffed, folding my arms over my chest and continued looking out the window, where I can now see the coast. I was mesmerized by how beautiful Italy was. I have always wanted to visit, but my father always refused to let me go alone. And he never had time to go since he was always working.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" Lukas murmured in my ear, causing me to nod.

"Yes, it is."

As the plane began to descend, I gripped the seat tightly, until we touched down, trying to calm my racing heart. I was always afraid of taking off and landing.

When we landed, Lukas took off his seatbelt and took up my suitcases, carrying it into the other room where the other guys were. I walked in behind him, everyone turning to stare at us.

"Good morning." I mumbled, keeping my eyes on my boots.

"Rhea, you already met Apollo. Let me introduce you to the rest of my men, who will also be looking after you when Apollo and I are not around." Lukas said.

"This is Scar." He pointed to a huge man, with a bulky figure, and lots of tattoos. 

Scar nodded at me, his face void of any emotion. He. was actually very scary.

"This is Carter." He pointed at the man with the platinum blonde hair and ice blue eyes.

"Hey." Carter said, smirking at me, causing Lukas to glare.

"Don't get f****d up, Carter." He growled, causing Carter to put his hands up in surrender.

"And this is Blake." He gestured to the man with black hair, green eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard.

"Hello principessa." He said, smiling slightly. (Princess)

Lukas growled in warning, and Blake rolled his eyes.

"Nice to meet you all." I murmured.

Lukas left to talk with the pilot and I was escorted off the plane, into an all matte black Ferrari LaFerrari. I watched Blake and Carter put my suitcases into an Escalade, before sitting in the car, waiting for Dumbass, I mean Lukas, to come back.

"Heh, no harm in calling him dumbass in your head." I thought, snickering.

He came to the car after a short while and started the engine, revving it, before pulling off, at what I'm sure is an illegal speed.

"Slow the f**k down!" I screamed loudly.

He acted like he didn't hear me as he pressed on the gas even harder, sending me flying back into the. seat. Thank god I had my seatbelt on. He continued driving with a series of twists and turns, before pulling into the entrance of what looked like a mall.

"The guys are going straight home, but we are going to get you somethings so you wouldn't be completely bored." He said.

"You don't have to do that you know." I mumbled.

"I don't care. I want to." He responded.

"Okay well I'll pay for my stuff." I said.

"The hell you are. Matter of fact give me all your cards." He growled, causing me to look at him incredulously.

"What?! No!"

"Rhea, I'm going to say it one more f*****g time. Give me your f*****g cards."

"And Lukas, I'm going to tell you one more f*****g time. NO."

"Okay, that's it." Before I could react, he grabbed my bag from me, and took my entire f*****g wallet.

"Lukas! What the f**k? Give it back!"

"No. I'm not going to allow you to spend money unless it's mine."

My forehead creased as I looked at him.

"That is so f*****g stupid. It doesn't make sense!"  I said.

"Yeah? Well deal with it."

He held my wallet in his hand, after he turned off the ignition, and got out of the car, while I did the same. He purses his lips, looking at me in irritation.

"Next time, you wait for me to open the f*****g door, then you get out, okay?"

"No, not okay. I'm capable of opening a f*****g door for myself." I said, rolling my eyes.

I heard a growl escape him, and the next thing I knew, I was pinned against the car, with Lukas glaring daggers at me. I swear, if looks could kill, I'd be six feet f*****g under.

"I've let you disrespect me multiple times without any f*****g repercussions. I'm letting you off with a f*****g warning. The next time you disrespect me, I won't take it as f*****g lightly as I have. Am I f*****g clear." I didn't answer, which seemed to make him even more pissed, as he tangled his hand in my ponytail, and yanked on it sharply, causing me to gasp out at the slight pain.

"I said. Am I f*****g clear?" He said through gritted teeth.

"Yes." I mumbled.

He let go of my hair and stepped back,  pulling me away from the passenger door, so he can open it and put my wallet in the glove compartment. I held on to my purse tightly as he slammed the door closed, locking the car, and grabbing my hand, leading the way into the mall. He pulled me into the Apple store, and I rolled my eyes. He wandered around the store, looking at everything, and a salesperson approached us.

"Salve Signore ¿come posso aiutarti oggi?" The salesperson asked. (Hello, sir. how can I help you today?)

"¿Parla inglese?" He asked. (Can you speak English?)

"Yes Sir, sorry about that. What would you like to get today." The man asked, his eyes, lingering on me longer than normal.

Lukas noticed, and he glared at the man, pulling me even closer to him, if that was possible, causing me to roll my eyes.

"What would you like to get, Bella?" Lukas asked, looking down at me.

"I'd like to get an iPhone 11 ProMax, an iPad Pro, the 12.9 inch display, a MacBook Pro, the AirPods, a wireless charger, some extra charger cables, a beats studio 3 wireless, an Apple Watch series 4 and one of the Apple 4K TV boxes." I smiled sweetly, causing the employee's eyes bug out.

I looked up at Lukas, and he didn't bat an eyelash, as he looked at the employee to get everything.

"Uh... What colors for the phone, iPad,MacBook, Apple Watch and Beats?" He asked, still looking a little shocked.

"Um... The phone, gold, the iPad, space grey, MacBook, space grey, Apple Watch, white, Beats, purple." I said.

"Okay. I'll go get everything and send it up to the cashier." The employee said, before walking off.

"Is that all you wanted from here?" Lukas asked, and I shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess so... Wait. I'll need some cases for the phone, and the iPad, and a laptop sleeve." I said.

We both walked up to the cashier, where the employee had rested everything down.

"I'll also need some cases for the phone, and iPad- Babe what colors do you want?" Lukas asked.

"Purple, black and white, in all." I said.

They added the cases on top of everything, and then we proceeded to check out.

"Your total is, $10,891.48." My eyes widened a bit, but Lukas just pulled out his card and gave it to the man, without batting an eye lid.

"Lukas. You shouldn't be paying for that." I mumbled, my cheeks turning a deep shade of red.

"Don't worry about it." He said gruffly.

"But-"I began protesting, but one harsh look from him, had me shutting my mouth.

After everything was bagged, there was a total of six bags, which Lukas grabbed up, before I can reach for one. I huffed and rolled my eyes, following him out of the store.

"Can't I just walk around while you go drop the bags off in the car?" I asked, my arms folded across my chest.

He spun around, abruptly, causing me to bump into him.

"No, because I don't trust you. I know at any given opportunity, you'd run away."

I rolled my eyes and pouted.

"Whatever." I mumbled, as he spun back around and continued walking, with me trudging behind him.

He dumbed all the bags in the backseat of the car, and closed the door, locking it once more. He grabbed my hand, and I whined, trying to pull myself free, only to have him tighten his grip.

"Let go of me." I said, trying to pull my hand from him.

He ignored me, and began pulling me back inside the mall. He continued pulling me along, until he got to the bathroom area. He pulled me into the women's bathroom, not even checking to see if there were people in there, luckily there wasn't. He pushed me in, and locked the door behind him, the look in his eyes cold.

I took a step back, as he walked forward, but he was quick to grab me up, and slam my body against his.

"Are you trying to make a f*****g scene?" He hissed, looking down at me.

"Because if you are... There's no one that can save you from me. Remember that." He wrapped a hand around my neck, and forced his lips onto mine.

The kiss was forceful, and punishing, but goddamnit, if it didn't make me wet. He ended the kiss quickly, both of us breathing hard, with me refusing to meet his eyes. 

Those cold, calculating eyes.

"We can go into two more stores of your choice. Pick wisely." He said, as he wiped off the smudged lipstick from my face, before doing the same with his own.

"I just want to go into a book store." I mumbled, keeping my eyes trained on the floor.

"Is that all?" He asked.

"Yes."

He led me out of the bathroom and pulled me over to a store called 'Todo Modo'. I wandered around, deciding to get a few dictionaries, in Italian, so I can learn the language, and not be completely clueless as to what was being said. I also picked up a few novels that were written in Italian, that I could read, as I progressed with the language. I was surprised to see that they had books written greek also, and picked up three of those novels which sparked my interest. I also got a few that was written in English, before I was satisfied. I could feel Lukas right behind me, which intimidated me a lot, but I tried not to show it.

He paid for everything, and I took my bags with my books, and began walking out of the store.

"Are you hungry?" He asked.

"No, I'm fine." I mumbled, still refusing to look at him.

We both walked back to the car, and I placed my books in the trunk. He opened the passenger's door for me, and I mumbled a small thank you, before he closed it, as I sat down.

 He made his way over to the driver's side and sat, putting on his seatbelt, before starting the car. He then gunned the engine, and we were off, on our way to my new home, my new hell.
