Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
Rhea hoped Elijah respected her wishes since he knew both of them were a couple now. She didn’t want him to risk his life saving her. Lukas didn’t fully trust her at the moment knowing that she might still be tempted to leave him at the offer of freedom, but there was time and she would be able to convince him. He can’t keep her here forever anyway. For sure, It would not be easy, but with love, she would be able to change him and make him trust her more. She just prayed that Elijah wouldn’t destroy her plan.
If only Rhea knew what Elijah looked like or had a chance of communicating with him, then she would tell him to give up on her. It was a twist of fate but not everyone was designed to have a fairytale kind of ending. If all the girls married the good men, then who would the bad ones marry?
Rhea came to the understanding that this was her fate and fighting it would only make things difficult. Society might abhor people like Lukas but at the same time, the world needed him to create the perfect balance between good and bad. If the world was only filled with good people, then it would be a utopia. Unfortunately, humans were their own problems and the earth was no fucking utopia.
“Who said anything about dying now?” Lukas asked her with all manner of seriousness and Rhea gulped, unable to come up with an answer. He can’t know that she was worried about him because of Elijah. The phantom ghost was her mess and she would clean it up without bloodshed. She can’t lose Lukas the same way she can’t lose Elijah.
Lukas leaned over her, “I told you, I don’t die easily, Mio Caro. My darling.”
At once, Rhea’s heart skipped a beat. He sounded sexy when he spoke those words.
Lukas dipped his closer as if he was going to kiss her only to say, “Trust me, when I say I would live long enough to have ten kids with you and we’d grow old together,”
Rhea’s jaw dropped.
A Need To Work Hard
Was Lukas proposing to her?
Although there was no ring on her finger and Clara’s case was still unsolved, she knew Lukas meant the words he spoke. Words are powerful, equivalent to promises, and are used strictly because the people here don’t throw them around easily if they don’t intend to keep them. However, what would have seemed romantic was shattered the moment she heard Lukas mention ten kids.
She gulped, “Did you just say ten kids?”
Lukas nodded seriously, “Yes, my love.” He took her knuckle and kissed it, befuddling her brain the more with the sensation, “I pretty much grew up as an only child before Chloe came around, hence I desire to have a large family.”
“But -” Rhea was about to protest when he interrupted her.
“Moreover, I have enough stamina to make enough children and the money to give them the life they want. What do you say to that, shouldn’t we give it a try?”
Give it a try her butt! Rhea flipped a table in her mind. What does he mean by giving birth to ten kids? Where would the kids come out from if not from her hole? Who told him that she was up for that kind of pain? If he wanted many kids that much, he was free to give birth to them himself! She was not up for that kind of suffering.
Hence, Rhea only smiled, “We would discuss that later,” She said dismissively.
And speaking about babies, they’ve been having unprotected sex for a while now, neither was she on the pill knowing she had no use for it – the past Rhea had no time for sex. Unless she wanted to begin her journey of birthing ten kids without warning, she would force Lukas to get her the pill tomorrow.
…..
But at the moment, Rhea prayed that any sperm inside her wouldn’t get fertilized. God, how could she have been careless to have sex without being under the pills? She was stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
As much as Rhea loved Lukas, a baby was not in the picture now. There were just so many complications to solve before they thought about starting a family. There was Clara and Elijah. And then Daniel, how could she have forgotten that. This can’t be easy. The thought of having Daniel as a father-in-law was traumatic enough. Sigh, of all families she could have gotten into.
“Also,” Lukas was not done with her, “You are banned from ever taking alcohol,”
“What?” She blinked, surprised.
“I thought you had other reasons for not taking alcohol, who knew that you can’t handle your alcohol well and would lose consciousness if you take much,” He reasoned.
“Oh,” Rhea said.
Lukas thought she fainted because she was unable to handle her alcohol? If only she knew the shock of seeing Elijah was too much and the alcohol in her system hadn’t helped her panic. Nonetheless, it was better he thought this way than knowing Elijah dared come into his base last night. He would only lock her in if he knew she was in danger of being snatched back by her ex-boyfriend.
Unfortunately, Rhea would go ballistic if he restricts her, at least she could walk around the base now with Luca by her side to keep an eye on her. So it was better this way. The next time, Elijah makes a move, she would warn him off. Their relationship or whatever they had is over. He should move on.
“No, problem,” Rhea answered him. She was not a fan of alcohol in the first place, hence she was not bothered by the arrangement.
Lukas was pleased by her response, for once she didn’t argue with him over his rules. She was his woman and it was his duty to keep her safe. If alcohol would put her in danger, he would get rid of that as well. Tomorrow, he will have the bar at the corner of the living room moved out of sight else she’s tempted to have a taste of the drinks there one day.
“Let’s sleep then,” Lukas cuddled her but she shook her head in refusal.
“I don’t feel like sleeping, let’s talk more instead,” Rhea wanted to know more about Lukas.
Yes, she knew about his dysfunctional family but needed more information on Lukas. she wanted to know his deepest desire and secrets no one else knew about him. She didn’t want to build the foundation of their relationship based on sex only. Rhea needed to know that inner man, the one others don’t see usually. The inner man that was beyond his cruel and dark exterior.
However, Lukas was not ready to open up to her on that emotional level, so he gave her an excuse instead,
“Sorry love, but it’s late already.”
Rhea was not going to say that she didn’t see that coming, the truth is she did. But she hoped somehow that she would be able to penetrate that hard armor, the defenses he put up against everybody. Although he lowered it for her, it was not enough. Lukas was still withdrawing some.
She was making a gamble by loving someone like Lukas but she wasn’t going to give up, there was no going back now. Rhea would make Lukas love her so much that he would let her in and she would heal those scars inside of his heart.
“However, if you’re not sleepy yet, I have a better idea of what we could do with our time,” Lukas said, his eyes gleaming and a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
Oh no.
“No, Lukas…”
She protested when Lukas slipped beneath the covers and spread her legs. Although the bed sheet covered him from view, it didn’t protect Rhea from feeling every single thing he was doing to her body as he kissed, nipped, sucked, and stroked her sex till she was thrashing wildly as the orgasm wrecked through her.
Rhea knew at that moment that there was a need to work hard. Since Lukas’s determined to kill her with sex, she must be determined to own his whole heart.
Goodmorning, Baby Girl
Even before her eyes were opened, a smile spread across Rhea’s face. For some reason, she was happy and had a feeling that today would be a good day. She reached for the side of her bed and wasn’t surprised to find it empty. Lukas was a busy man and always woke before her.
She simply got off the bed and went into the bathroom where she brushed and took her bath before going in search of him. However, the moment Rhea opened the door, she was shocked to see Samson lying down beside the entrance and a scream almost left her mouth had she not quickly cupped it with her hand. What the hell was the lion doing here?
Rhea couldn’t forget the last time she encountered the lion, it had scared the hell out of her, and that had been the day she fought with Lukas. Rhea always felt this animal was kind of intelligent, after all, why would it come to get vengeance for its master Lukas?
However, she and Lukas are good now. Does it mean the both of them were best pals as well? Rhea hoped so because the last thing she wanted was to become a lion’s breakfast – she still had this idea that keeping a lion as a pet is a bad idea, no matter what tamed it is.
She wondered if Lukas sent it upstairs or if the lion found its way here all by itself? At least the first option comforted her that the creature wouldn’t harm her since it was Lukas’s idea, but the second?
Not so encouraging.
She didn’t share the same bond as Lukas did with it.
However, Rhea was not a coward, so she pushed her fear aside knowing animals could pick up negative emotions like that. Moreover, Samson lay on the ground as usual and he must be sleeping because his eyes were closed and he was snoring loudly.
