Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
Lukas felt like a child being scolded by his mother and looked the other way, unable to look her in the eyes.
“You can’t depend on morphine and should be receiving treatment right now! How are you so dumb!” She yelled in his face and then turned to see one of the doctors standing with Ezra and watching their drama.
“You!” She pointed at the doctor, who awkwardly pointed back at himself, looking around to see if she had mistaken him for someone else.
“Me?”
“Yes, you!” Rhea said and then began to drag Lukas along saying, “While it’s right to worry about Victor, you’re in no condition to worry about someone else. Right now, you need a scan and medical attention,”
But Lukas told her, “You’re right Rhea, but you need to calm down first of all.”
“Don’t tell me to calm down!” She retorted, “How do you expect me to calm down when you can’t even take care of –mmmm,”
Lukas cut her off by pressing his lips against hers and kissed her leaving their audience – Ezra and the doctor – surprised at the turn of events. They had been awaiting Lukas’s response and never saw the kiss coming.
Oh no, this was not happening!
Rhea knew this was Lukas’s tactic to keep her from talking. But then, she had a lot of pent-up energy inside and needed to let it out. In one word, she wants to give Lukas a piece of her mind. This conflict cannot be averted with a mere kiss.
So with all of her strength, Rhea managed to push him away, untangling herself from the kiss.
“Y-You!” She looked at him with eyes of fury, “How dare try to distract me with a –”
Again, he crushed his lips to hers, stealing the rest of her heated words, his hand wrapping around her waist and pressing her to his body so she was not able to escape from him the second time.
It was not just a kiss. It was a possession and Rhea felt it down to her toes that curled. Lukas’s hand traveled into her hair and kept her still as he ravished her mouth. He kissed her hard and deep, nearly punishing her until every form of resistance left her body.
Why was she even fighting in the first place, Rhea wondered as she moaned into his mouth. She arched into him, her hand curling around his neck before digging it through his silky hair as their tongues battled.
Nonetheless, all that mattered was that he was here. Even if he acted like an asshole sometimes and a dumb fool like now, he was alive. Lukas finally eased the ferocity of his kiss when he sensed the anger left her system. So he tasted her sweet lips, nibbling on her lower lips. His tongue teased her once again until they pulled away and he leaned her forehead to hers.
“I’m sorry,” He apologized to her, “I’m sorry for making you too much.”
Rhea wanted to be mad at him for endangering his health, but he already melted away the anger with his tongue and now, she was merely tired.
“How can I get mad at you when you have a face as handsome as the Greek gods?”
“Ouch,” Lukas said.
She lifted her face in surprise, thinking she said something wrong, “What?”
Lukas smirked, “Have you forgotten all Greek gods’ statues have small dicks?”
What the….. Rhea burst into laughter instead.
Lie To Me
“What’s he doing here?” Lukas finally noticed their audience and Ezra in question waved at him enthusiastically.
“He came to keep us safe. I had no choice but to tell my mother the truth, Lukas.” She said.
“You did the right thing. Although this wasn’t the way I intended to notify Eric about Richardo, they should have an idea of him rather than work in the dark.” Lukas told her, tugging a lock of her hair to the back of her ear.
“We should go check you out now,” Rhea said, ignoring the butterflies dancing in her belly thanks to him touching her.
“You are so beautiful,” Lukas either didn’t hear or was pretending not to have heard her.
“The scan, Lukas.”
“I can’t wait for our baby to be born and the fact that he or she would have your look gives me great joy.
Their eyes met and locked. Rhea felt it down to her bones, Lukas meant the words he said and it was that realization that made her heart begin to beat faster.
He continued, “You might not know this, but the battle out there had been tough, but the thought of you and our baby kept me going. I knew deep down that I couldn’t die out there, no, I had a purpose to live now. Honestly, I don’t care about the pain and I’m so happy that I want to scream your pregnancy at the top of my – “
…..
Rhea covered his mouth at once with her palm casting a nervous look in Ezra’s direction and wondering if he heard that.
“What?” Lukas spoke into her palm, confused at the gesture. The heat of Lukas’s mouth on her palm sent tingles down to her core, but Rhea pushed her hormones to the corner and focused on the task at hand.
She pulled her palm free and grabbed his face with both hands this time, keeping his attention on her. Casting one last nervous look at Ezra, saying to Lukas with a lowered voice,
“My mother can’t know of my pregnancy yet.”
“Okay, wait – what?” His brows furrowed, “What are you talking about?”
“It’s a long story Lukas and this is not the place for it, you need to get tested. Anyway, the point is you can’t ever tell her or anyone close to her that I’m having your baby. Call my mother old-fashioned, but she thinks it’s disrespectful to get me pregnant before marrying me. “
“So we are going to keep it from her?” Lukas cast a look at Ezra and was sure by now that he was suspecting their conversation, “For how long? You know we can’t hide the truth forever and I’m ready to marry you tomorrow if you want it.”
Rhea sighed, rubbing her temple, “Just for the moment okay? At Least until this is over. And please do not procrastinate any longer, you need to get treated.” She grabbed onto his arms and began to pull him in the direction of Ezra and the doctor – who felt out of place.
“Fine,” Lukas agreed, letting her pull him along and when they got to where the others stood, he cleared his throat.
“Hello?”
“You look a mess, Lukas.” Ezra smirked at his appearance, “Else, I wouldn’t know how to comfort my relative, Rhea.”
“Ezra, behave,” Rhea warned him between gritted teeth. He was the most annoying out of the brothers and she had to deal with him every day.
“Ahh, no need to bite, little kitten. After all, your boyfriend just came out of a battlefield and I wouldn’t want to be killed by me.” He laughed.
And although Ezra meant that as a joke, the doctor at his side heard it all and nervously pushed his glasses to his nose. He kind of felt earlier that these people were not ordinary, moreover, it was a bullet case and it was not reported to the police. Instead, the director demanded that the operation be handled discreetly.
Just what kind of people were this, they already knew his face. He heard nothing, you know. He didn’t want to die yet.
“Is this the doctor?” Lukas asked the man who was close to shivering in fear
