Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
“Staring right at your beautiful mother and that guilt traps Daniel, so he does nothing but take it all out on you as the bully he is,” Rhea didn’t want to interrupt him, but she had to summarize it beautifully for him.
“Yeah, exactly that,” His smile increased and Rhea boomed at him, glad to know he accepted her explanation. If there was one thing Rhea regretted, it was never having the chance to meet his wonderful mother, Penelope. She would have loved to get to know her because she sounded like a pretty amazing person.
The Love In His Eyes
“Turn around,” Rhea told him, and Lukas obeyed her command without hesitation. She focused on the artistic black ink drawn over his back and traced the tattoo with her hands, everything finally making sense.
“That is why you have the tattoos drawn, because even scar revision does not erase a scar but helps to make it less noticeable and more acceptable.” Rhea figured it out.
Now she touched his back a bit more carefully, she could feel slight creases and it made her expression distort in pain. She had never taken time to look at his skin before because most of the time she was distracted with sexy time and digging her hands into his back out of passion. Had she been hurting him by chance?
“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” Lukas answered her as if he had been inside of her head.
She looked at him in shocked wonder, “Are you telepathic by chance?”
He looked at her over his shoulder,
“I don’t need to be telepathic when it’s written all over your face. So no, I don’t need that guilty look on your face, love. Hurt me, all you want, I would only get high on the pain because I don’t mind you claiming me.”
Rhea went red in the face, and lowered her gaze immediately. Lukas would be the death of her. Why does he have to be… Geez, she wanted to hide her face.
“You know you are quite cute when you blush,” He continued to tease her, his expression smug having known what he was doing to her.
…..
“Stop it,” Rhea beat him playfully and then buried her face into his back so he wouldn’t see her red face. She was not really a shy person, just reserved, but just a word from Lukas, and she was blushing like a teenager. It was cringy – yet sweet.
With her face pressed to his back, Rhea was able to see the tattoo very closely, and whoever drew it deserved an award because it was so similar to the real lion and it captured Lukas’s relationship with the creature. His affection for Samson. To Lukas, the lion was family. A better family than his father could ever be.
Rhea moved her lips to that spot where she felt the crease and kissed it tenderly. Upon that action, Rhea felt Lukas stiffen at first, however, he relaxed and she gently trailed kisses to various places till she couldn’t go any lower because of her position.
The tattoo crept down to his arm hence Rhea kissed up to his shoulder and Lukas released a groan which was a telling sign that he was getting aroused and she stopped. Rhea couldn’t start something she couldn’t finish and as much as she loved to tease him, it was unfair on Lukas too.
Hence, she only leaned on his back from behind, wrapping her arm behind him as she enjoyed the intimate moment between them.
“Some scars aren’t worth keeping because they’re nothing but bondage,” Lukas was the one to break the silence,
“It’s quite funny, but I think the reason I had them removed was because I didn’t want to present my damaged self to the woman I would spend the rest of my life with even though I don’t believe in love,” He confessed and Rhea felt her heart breaking.
“You’re beautiful, Lukas, with or without the scars. I don’t care if you’re damaged or not, that doesn’t change one bit what I think about you. I already made up my mind about you and there’s no turning back now,” Rhea told him fiercely in case he was getting stupid ideas about letting her go, because he felt he doesn’t deserve her. Stupid man!
Lukas finally moved and Rhea let him go so he was able to turn and they were now staring at each other.
“What did I do to deserve you? Honestly, I feel like you’re a godsend. Are you hiding a pair of wings behind?” He teased her.
“Why don’t you find out yourself?” Rhea answered, her eyes flickering down to his hard chest and she licked her lower lips, a move Lukas found hot and became hard down there.
A groan left his lips from the response, and Rhea looked at him, their gaze connecting.
Well, fuck this!
Lukas pulled her up with incredible strength, roughly pushing her back against the seat and boxing her in so she wasn’t able to feel anything aside from his hard frame. His lips were hard and hot against her mouth and Rhea raked her hand through his hair trying to brace herself. Everything was going too fast.
She groaned as Lukas pushed impossibly close to her body as if he couldn’t get enough of her while kissing her senselessly. He wanted to rip every single piece of clothing on her and just sink himself inside of her, but Lady Flow was in the way.
Rhea moaned as Lukas coaxed her tongue with hers and started a dance of their own. Her free hand caressed down his bare chest while the other yanked on his hair while they kissed without a care in the world, at least until their car stopped. They were home.
But then Lukas wouldn’t stop, his lips on hers were devouring and hungry as if he wanted to brand himself on her skin. Well, he was succeeding because he was all she could taste and was a breath away from asphyxiation.
He finally moved and Rhea was finally able to gulp in mouthful breaths. However, the love she saw in Lukas’s eyes made her unable to breathe, then she smiled, one of joy and gratitude. Lukas smiled in return and in no time, they found themselves laughing like naughty teenagers.
Lukas got out of the car after he had his shirt on and helped her out. His hair was ruffled and his lips swollen and Rhea had no doubt she looked any better. Her lips were still tingling and the thought of what they did had her giggling inwardly.
Together, they walked hand in hand into the base expecting to have a semblance of peace after the journey. However, Rhea was dumbfounded when she stumbled into the foyer overrun with what she could call the War of the rabbits, with every soldier trying to catch the creatures running around.
What the hell?
[Bonus chapter]The Attraction Between Them
She didn’t sign up for this, Winters groaned in annoyance as she walked out of her temporary room in the Spencer’s residence, sleepy-eyed.
Where was she going to begin with the debrief?
Well, after they failed to get Chloe out of here, only to find out that she’s holed up at Sakuzi’s place, Lukas ordered her to remain here. While Mimi had to quit, leaving her behind because – Victor had a high libido and couldn’t afford to stay away from her – it was too risky to have both of them here.
In one word, she was here to spy on the Spencers, especially on activities related or connected with Chloe, Lukas’s sister . From the few days she was here, Winters was able to confirm that Chloe lived here and contrary to what Lukas thought, she wasn’t maltreated or tortured. If anything, they treated her as one of their own, which wasn’t surprising since the Spencer’s are known for their warm hospitality – as long as you don’t get on the triplet’s bad side.
Why was Chloe moved then? Winters wasn’t able to get an answer for that one, but one thing was clear, Chloe was in safe hands – for now. If Lukas doesn’t get her from Sakuzi soon, Winters feared Daniel would soon rise up to the challenge, especially now the marriage between him and Clara can no longer happen. Daniel liked to be in control and his obsession with making Lukas’s life miserable wasn’t going to end just like that.
This was not the end, that was for sure.
Well then, why does she have a room in Spencer’s residence? After Mimi gave up and she accepted Lukas’s orders of staying put, Reina wanted her to become a live-in nanny. But she rejects the idea, knowing that she needed to return to Lukas and update him on her findings. Also, no offense, but Reina’s children were devils, there was no way on earth she would spend the whole day stuck with them.
Although they were warming up to her and their pranks were becoming less infuriating, it doesn’t excuse the fact they’re still imps. Winters grew up alone and was not used to taking care of others, not to talk of three disobedient and stubborn kids? It was impossible.
Winters has seen Reina’s husband, Niklaus around and he was a really cool man – as long as you’re not threatening his family. One should be open to lots of public display of affection with Niklaus and Reina around, like they don’t give a fuck, and Winters some how wished her family had been like that, you know. However, you can’t change the past and wishes were a fairytale. This is reality.
…..
Reina had to spend the night over at her daughter Isabella’s place and pleaded with Winters to stay the night with a promise of reward, hence was given a room to reside. And yes, her room was in the same room as Akim’s, wonderful, right?
But then, Winters was a good kid and didn’t attempt doing anything naughty with Akim. Moreover, both of them are friends now. Really coool friends, if you know what she means. Akim helped her out in handling the kids – that is if they were to be called kids. The triplets were twelve for crying out loud, but Winters guessed she would never be able to understand rich people..
They tucked in the kids for bed after hours of playing video games and the both of them returned to their respective rooms with sweet goodbyes – and no kiss at all. Not even a peck on the cheek. Nor was she disappointed. Yep, she was cool. She was enjoying the friend zone. No sweat at all.
And while she tossed and turned in bed all night, unable to sleep for strange reasons – she didn’t want to admit –
Winters never once had the thought of sneaking into Akim’s room. Yeah, her mind was as innocent as day.There was no way on earth she had been corrupted by Lukas and Mimi. If Akim wanted them to remain friends, then friends they would be. She swore on Lukas’s thing (hopefully Rhea never hears that).
