Raphael POV
I wake up, don’t know what time it is but fuck that, I have her in my bed, tangled in me. I can feel her soft breathing against my bare chest skin. She smells so good, she smells of honey and coconut.
Her smell drives me wild. I hold her tight and I feel her body adjusting to my grip.
“Good morning” – she says still with her eyes closed
“Hi” – I say trying to seem colder than what I wanted to be.
“What time is it?”
“Do I look like a watch to you?” – I say regretting immediately my words when she pushed her body away from me.
“I’m sorry” – she says getting out of the bed and holding her body.
“Look, I know what happened was fucked up, but I am no prince charming coming to save you”
“I never said I wanted a prince charming, they are overrated” – she says, I want to laugh but I keep my serious face while she looks at me raising one eyebrow.
“Look, I know you hate me, and I don’t particularly like you either so let’s keep this simple”
“I don’t hate you, I don’t love you, but I don’t hate you, you saved me last night and for that I will be forever grateful” – she says interrupting me
“Don’t do that, don’t ever fucking to that again” – I say while I stand up
“What do you mean?” – She looked confused
I walk towards her towering her small frame
“Don’t EVER interrupt me again” – I say close to her ear “Otherwise I will have to punish you”
“You know what? FUCK YOU Raphael, I thought that after what happened yesterday you would be a bit less of an ogre towards me, but fuck me was I wrong” – she storms towards the bathroom locking both doors
“I have a spare key if I want to go in, locking the door won’t do shit” – I say with a grin on my face
“You wouldn’t dare” – she shouts from inside the bathroom.
“Try me”
I heard the water from the sink being turned on and I started to remember her having a panic attack yesterday and I feel compelled to open the fucking door and hold her. But I can’t, she wouldn’t fit in this world, but I do want to fuck her, hard, no mercy. But even I know that today is not the day, not after she almost being raped.
My phone starts to ring and I answer
“This better be important” – I bark
“Boss, we sent Karkov’s head to his family in Russia”
“Good, keep an eye on the business today, I need to be a fucking CEO today” – I know it is Sunday but I have some paperwork to take care of and that is important, just because I run a mafia doesn’t mean I can overlook my business.
“Sure boss”
I hang up to see her looking at me with those piercing green eyes, fuck me I want to touch her so bad, I feel myself smirk looking at her
“I want to go home” – she says
I grab my phone and call Joseph
“I need you to take Olivia home, NOW”
“I’ll get the car ready boss”
“Joseph has the car ready to take you home”
“What are you cooking?” – I ask trying to make up to her
“Beef stew, want some?”
“No thanks, I’m not hungry and I need to go to the office deal with some incompetent assholes”
She looks at me giving me a reprimand look and I give her a kiss on the cheek and leave walking towards the door, I don’t fancy driving today so I grab my phone and call for a town car.
I get in the car and instruct the driver to take me to my office, I see NYC pass through the window but all I see are those beautiful green eyes looking into my soul. My phone starts ringing and I answer
“Hello?”
“Raphael, this is Lucas”
“What can I do for you?”
“What happened to Olivia last night? I saw you carrying her out of the Gala yesterday”
“There was some issues and I dealt with them, she should be home” – I say trying not to feel angry that he wants to know how she is,
“Don’t fuck with her Raphael”
“Or what?” – I ask with spite on my voice
“I will fucking kick your ass”
“I would like to see you try” – and I hung up.
How come that woman has to be so appealing?
