Amadeo

Yes, this discussion had gotten out of hand. But I had to agree with Zia...My father couldn’t carry out his threat against Deacon. If he did, we might not be the same family ever again. I stared at him. “We need to wait and see if Deacon is found.”

“And you’d better not harm him if he is found,” Zia warned my father.

He shook his head at her and seethed. “You cannot tell me what to do, Maria.”

“I can if it happens in this house.” She again planted her hands on her hips. “Years ago, you and I made an agreement about your work and this being my home. This is our home, but you cannot be plotting murder here.”

“Murder?” he exclaimed as he shook his head.

“Yes, hurting an unarmed man who is ill would be murder, fratello.” Zia then looked over at me.

“Take Gia to her room, Deo. She has been through much today. It is getting late too.” Nodding at Valencia, she said, “You, my dear, will stay with me until Tito returns or until he calls.” She then glared at my father.

“And you need to return to your evil lair.”

Stephano barked out a laugh. “You are so dramatic, sorella.” He shook his head and left.

I leaned over with a chuckle and kissed Zia’s cheek. “I don’t know where we would be without you, Zia.”

She smiled at me. “You are such a sweet man, bambino.”

“Sweet? Shhh, I got a rep, Zia Maria.” I chuckled again as I took Gia’s hand and we left the kitchen. Silent, we went down the hall and headed up the stairs. I got to the hall and paused. “Where are you staying?”

She motioned ahead. “Just a few doors down.”

I wondered before where they had put her, but I didn’t want to be too aggressive and get caught asking about her.

Finally, she stopped at her door and opened it.

I paused and stayed in the hall.

Turning, she stared at me. “I don’t understand why you are even being polite to me.”

I cocked my head at her and asked, “What?”

“Come on, no one is that forgiving!” she accused.

I slowly shook my head. “What are you talking about?”

“Deo, I treated you like mud on my shoe! I accused you of horrible things!”

I shrugged. “You had good reason to—”

She jumped over and grasped my shirt collar in both hands. “No one could be this nice!”

Laughing, I shook my head. “People make mistakes, Gia. Come on, you believed that had been his name for two years. Why would you think it was false?”

“Why? Because he lied about everything else! I should have known.” Tears filled her eyes.

Shaking my head, I told her softly, “I really don’t want you to cry anymore. I can’t stand it. It makes my chest hurt. I never had that reaction to someone's tears before.”

“You can’t be for real!” she exclaimed then she wrapped her arms around me and held me tightly. “Please accept my apology?” she whispered into my ear. “I don’t deserve your good graces, Deo. I’m a bitch. I know I am.”

“I don’t believe that. Well, ok, when you slapped me I might have had that name in my head for a minute.

” I chuckled. “Not really…I am kidding. But damn, I do like this hug.” I found that I like it too much, so I stepped back.

“If you need me, just call.” I paused and rolled my eyes.

“No, you can’t do that. My phone died earlier today and I still haven’t charged it. We have a landline though.”

“I know.” She nodded. “I couldn’t believe it when I saw it by my bed.”

“Well, since some of us don’t charge our phones, it will come in handy now.

If you need anything, just pick up that phone and tap…

” I paused. “Damn, I don’t know. I mean it has a list next to it on the nightstand, but I don’t think my room is on that?

I mean no one has ever called me on that phone before. ”

She laughed. “It’s ok, but where is your room? I might need you if they find Deacon. He will need care and I still don’t believe your father will be kind to him. ”

“You’re right. I don’t believe that either.” I turned and motioned to the stairs. “I’m in the east wing, I guess it's called. You would have to go down the stairs and to the next hall. Then you need to—”

She grabbed my sleeve and tugged me forward into her room. “Never mind, you can stay with me.”

Before I knew it, I was in her room as the door slammed shut behind me. I paused. I didn’t expect this at all. I mean…I loved the idea of course, but—

Yanking me forward, she rose up on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to mine. “Baciami e basta…Just kiss me, Deo.”

I froze at her words and hearing them in Italian was even sexier.

I groaned, then I didn’t even hesitate. I crushed her lips with mine and deepened the kiss while my body heated up at the contact between us.

Then I did what I’d wanted to do for the last ten days—I touched her.

My hands were roaming over her body at will.

Breaking the long breathless kiss, I whispered, “I’d better not stay.

” I knew if I didn’t leave right the fuck now, I wouldn’t be able to leave her at all. I tried to pull back.

Again, she aggressively grabbed my lapels and tugged me close. “No, you need to stay.”

I looked into her dark eyes and replied, “If we do this, you’re mine and I’m keeping you.”

Gia gazed up at me. “I cannot figure out why you would keep me around. You have never even seen my good side.”

I shook my head as I smiled. “And I look forward to seeing that side,” I teased her.

She laughed. “You are a fool, you know that, right?”

“And I will stay one if it means I get to be with you.”

She kept shaking her head.

“I knew it the minute I saw you, Gia. Damn, it rocked my world.”

Nodding her head, she admitted, “I remember feeling the same way.”

I tucked my head back a bit as this surprised me. At that time, her cold scowl and the glittering in her eyes told me she would destroy my world if I even approached her.

“I’d already seen you the day before we left the hospital,” she admitted. “And I couldn’t stop staring. Then that night you were all I could think about before I fell asleep.”

I slowly shook my head in disbelief. I never guessed this of course.

“Then the next day before we got my patient into the helicopter, your father introduced us.” Gia shook her head.

“When he said your name, I lost my breath and felt like I’d been hit by a train.

The first man that made my heart hammer and he was the same man that…

” Shaking her head, Gia let out a sigh. “It was a shock.”

“And now?” I asked.

“It’s still a shock, but in a good way. I can’t believe that I get to be with you. That I…” She paused to gaze up at me. “I get to love you.”

Damn, I never thought a few simple words could ever take my breath away. This woman loving me? It was so far from what I thought would be just an hour ago when I had no hope of being right here where we stood.

“We still have Deacon and your dad to deal with though.” She sighed.

“For now, let’s forget it all,” I suggested. “Forget everything for a little while. I advise a trip to the moon and I will be your pilot. The trip might only last for a night but you will see every star along the way.” I smirked.

Her smile widened. “Oh, I bet you know how to fly a rocket, alright.”

I laughed at the pun. “Clever.”

Nodding, she told me, “I’m ready for this. Long past ready. Show me the stars… please.”

I grinned and grabbed her up to carry her over to the bed.

Laying her down, I followed. Hungry for more of her mouth, I kissed her again until she became breathless.

I moved my lips from hers then kissed my way down along her neck.

Damn, I wanted to have her entirely bare, so my tongue could touch her everywhere.

I rose up to remove her clothes. Pulling her bra cups down, I exposed her breasts.

I hummed in my throat at the beauty of this woman as I slowly leaned forward sucking and licking her globes.

Gia whimpered and groaned as she held my head close to her chest.

Finally, I reached behind her, unhooked her bra, and tossed it out of the way.

Next, I wanted to explore other areas, so I tugged her slacks down and got rid of her panties.

I paused to consider where to go next. Damn, this was like a feast with too many delicious choices.

I reached for her core, stroking her with my fingers.

Gia seemed to go a bit wild now, as she was tearing at my clothes. Then she paused. “Oh damn, this is an expensive suit and I almost ripped your shirt!”

Chuckling, I stood up off the bed to undress.

“Oh yes, this was a fantasy of mine!” she gushed as her eyes sparked with interest.

I paused while undoing a button as I looked up at her. “What?”

Using her hand, she motioned for me to continue as she explained, “You, under similar circumstances as this. Hot as fuck while in your Italian suit, doing a slow strip tease just for me. Only…” She paused and slowly shook her head.

“Only what?” I asked with an avid curiosity.

“I don’t have the patience for a slow stripping right now. So get naked, Deo!”

I burst out with laughter and removed my shirt. Then unbuttoned my pants to push them down.

Gia placed two fingers into her mouth and let out one of those super loud whistles.

Shocked at the volume of it, I stared at her. “You’re a brain surgeon, a sexy MD and you have skills that I don’t know about?”

Nodding, she giggled and stuck her tongue out to swivel it over her top lip. “Yes and I’ve got some secret skills as well.”

I admit it, I don't even remember getting naked after that as I was on top of her in almost a blink of an eye.

We both laughed.

Finally, she rolled me off of her and neatly pinned me onto my back. Next, she straddled my waist with the most luscious pair of thighs I think I have ever encountered.

I admit it, I felt overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of this woman.

Her creamy skin, her long glimmering black hair, her angelic face and delicious lips.

Her scent, her voice…I was enraptured by all that was Gia.

I knew I would be if she ever let me get close.

A slave. I would be a slave to her for the rest of my life to just have her like this. On me, beside me, with me.

My cock now stood almost straight up. Lowering herself along my body, she leaned down and licked the crown of it.

When she took the tip of it into her mouth, I groaned and helplessly bucked my hips.

She moaned as she lowered her mouth over my girth then stroked me with her lips. She did this once, then twice.

I swear my eyes rolled up in my head as I sucked in a deep breath.

No way. No way would I last. With no choice, I pulled her off and flipped her onto her back.

Looking down at her as I held her arms on the bed, I quipped, “That felt too damned good. And it is a skill you can destroy my cool with later.” I gave her a wink.

Gia laughed.

I had to fight to get my train of thought back on track as I let go of her hands. “Now, where was I?”

Raising one hand and beckoning me with her finger curling at me, she said, “You were about to make me yours,” she whispered in a low raspy voice.

Her sexy tone seemed to go through me like a knife through butter.

I needed to pull in every skill I ever learned, every sexy move I knew.

I intended to keep this woman with me forever and I wanted her hooked.

I began assaulting her senses with my touch, my lips, my tongue, and my hands.

I admit it, from just the flavor of her, I nearly lost my damned mind.

Our skin on skin feeling seemed to light a fire in her as Gia shivered at my touch and my lips.

My kisses trailed to her neck then past that to her breast as I took a nipple into my mouth and suckled slowly this time, enjoying the flavor of her.

I slipped a hand down to touch her core with my fingers again as she kept getting wetter and wetter.

I opened her thighs wider. Finally, staring into her eyes, I found something I'd been looking for since the day I met her.

Her orbs had morphed to almost fully gold with desire, yearning and her need for me.

Delving my fingers into her, she cried out with a gasp in her voice.

“I got you,” I soothed her. “Just feel me, enjoy my touch, relax and feel me.” I continued with soft biting and kissing along her body as I reached her core. Spreading her silky folds, I bared her to my mouth. Using my lips and tongue, I played with her button taking in her sweet flavor.

Gasping when my tongue entered her, her hips bowed upward.

Knowing I had her in a frenzied daze, I held her down and licked her while nibbling on her button. Using my fingers, my mouth and my tongue, I devoured her. Loving this, I kept at her until I knew she was ready then I delved two fingers in deeper.

Once she had reached her pinnacle, she exploded all over my tongue and fingers.

I licked up her cream and knew I’d just entered a heaven I’d never been to with any other woman.

I enjoyed this far too much and had to adjust my position a few times as my cock had gotten hard and throbbed.

I could have easily climaxed with her. I moved up to kiss her again while sharing her flavor with her, moving into position to slowly enter her.

I steadied myself because I needed to make it through the next few minutes without literally blowing it.

Closing my eyes, I groaned at the feeling of pure wet heat swallowing me up.

“Fuck, this will undo me…” I paused my movement as I wasn’t sure how long I could last.

“Please don’t stop,” she pleaded. “I need you so much, please don’t stop.”

I groaned and smirked at her. “I couldn’t stop even if I wanted to.

” Wasn’t that the truth? I barely kept control as I plunged deeply into her again.

My mind went blank as my hunger for this woman drove me on.

I never thought I would ever be between her thighs with her hanging onto me for dear fucking life… Pleading for more.

It had to be another dream.

Another fantasy.

This couldn’t be real.

I was making love to Gia Ribisi and she had agreed to be mine.

As her second orgasm built and she reached the top, Gia cried out.

I kissed her deeply as my tongue filled her mouth.

She whimpered and returned my kiss while moving under me as she thrust her hips up to meet mine. Her body shuddered as she reached those stars I’d promised to her.

And damn, I reached them too.
