The Mafia And His Queen

Chapter 13

~ Roxie ~

We head to the hospital the next day and find Jax with a few other guys. I decided not to come to the hospital last night because it was too late and Lily needed to sleep.

"Hey, Roxie." Jax says with a smile as he walks up to me.

"Hi, Jax." I greet him back and pause before asking him nervously, "Where is Damon?"

"Sorry. Follow me and I'll take you to him." He says and waves for us to walk with him to Damon's room.

I turn to Lily who is hiding behind me and grab her hand before I follow Jax. When we walk into his room, my eyes land on Lucky, Kole, and another boy whom I've never seen before.

Kole gives me a look as discreetly as possible that shows he doesn't want me here. I ignore his look and turn to the bed to see Damon with his hands over his eyes.

Lily hides behind my legs again. I'm sure it's because of all the men in the room. I clear my throat and Damon removes his hands to look up at me. When Lily pokes her head around my leg, his attention shifts down to her.

He immediately turns his head to the guys and says, "Get out."

They don't question him or say anything. They all just exit the room without a word and shut the door behind them, leaving only Lily, Damon, and I alone in the room.

I wanted to say something to him but the words wouldn't come out. I'm relieved that he's okay but I kind of want to know what happened. Why is he here in the first place?

Lily walks toward Damon's bed and reaches out to touch his arm. He looks down at her with such a soft expression... totally different from when he looks at other people.

"Are you sick?" She curiously asks him while tilting her head to the side.

"Umm, no. I'm not sick." He responds to her, glancing at me and then looking back to Lily.

Her brows pull together and a confused look takes over her face, "Do you have a boo-boo?"

I notice the corner of his lip tug up a little bit before he tells her, "Yeah, something like that. It's okay though because the doctor put a band-aid on it and made me feel better."

She nods her head before laying it on his arm and saying, "I missed you, Damey."

He hesitates for a moment and then picks Lily up to sit her down on his lap, "I missed you too, Principessa."

The moment between them makes my heart flutter a bit. Before anything else can be said, the nurse walks in while looking at the clipboard in her hand, "Okay, Mr. Knight. How are you feeling?"

"I already said that I'm fine." He tells her with irritation laced in his voice.

She looks up and is caught off guard when she sees Lily with him. Then she turns around and sees me. Her face is filled with confusion before she clears her throat and says, "I'm sorry, but Mr. Knight needs his rest. I'm going to have to ask you to-"

Damon cuts in and completes the rest of her sentence, "Leave."

She nods her head and crosses her arms over her chest, her eyes never leaving mine, "Yes, to leave. Thank you, Mr. Knight."

I raise a brow and look at Damon. If looks could kill, the nurse would be dead one hundred times over by now.

"No, you leave." He tells her with a hint of annoyance.

She turns to him with slightly widened eyes and shakes her head, "But you need-"

Again, he cuts her off and speaks in a voice that would send anyone cowering, "I need you to leave and not bother me again. You know very well what happens when someone disobeys me."

She quickly apologizes but has some trouble finishing her sentences. Her skin looks like it got a bit pale and her hands start shaking. In a hurry, she rushes out of the room. Seconds later, Ness comes into the room.

"Is everything okay?" She asks while looking between me and Damon. "I saw the nurse running out."

"Everything's fine, but why don't you take my princess to get some food from the cafeteria." He tells Ness rather than asks as he gives her a pointed look.

She immediately nods and gets Lily down from the hospital bed, taking her out of the room and closing the door behind them. I slowly look to Damon and see his gaze already fixed on me.

"Come here, baby." He says to me in a softer tone. The same tone that he uses with Lily.

I actually never heard him speak so gently to anyone else before in the time that I've known him. He's always so intimidating and cold. I make my way over to the side of his bed and he grabs my hand, making me sit on the bed while facing him.

He cups the side of my face with his hand and slides his thumb across my bottom lip while looking down at my mouth, "What about mama? Did mama miss me?"

He inches his face closer to mine and when our lips touch, everything else fades away. I'm lost in his kiss. At first, the kiss was slow but he quickly deepened it. He bites my lip and I gasp, giving him the opportunity to slide his tongue into my mouth.

A few moments later, he moves away and I bite back a groan at the loss of contact. He raises an eyebrow and repeats his earlier question, "I asked if you missed me too, amore."

I want nothing more than to feel his lips on mine so I answer his question, knowing that's the only way he'll kiss me again, "Yes, I did."

"Good girl." He says with a barely noticeable smile before smashing his lips on mine once more. Damon places his hands on my waist and pulls me to him. Without breaking our kiss, I crawl over his lap and place my legs on either side of him, straddling his lower body.

I place my hands on his chest and gently push him down, making him rest his head on the pillow. His hands slide down from my waist and land on the back of my thighs just below my ass, gripping onto them tightly.

A soft moan escapes my mouth and he lets out a deep low groan which causes me to clench my legs together. He hisses out in pain and I immediately break away from the kiss.

"What's wrong?" I ask him with concern laced in my tone.

"Nothing, baby. Come here." He responds as he tries to pull me back into another kiss.

I shake my head and get off of him. He sighs and drops his head back on the pillow. I almost forgot that we're in the hospital. I even almost forgot we're here for him. I don't know what came over me. Where did this sudden leap of courage come from?

With anyone else, I would've never even thought about acting how I just did with Damon. Especially in such a public place but with him, he makes me want to do things that I've never done before.

He makes me want to take a risk. Like doing intimate stuff on a hospital bed when anyone can walk in. It's such a rush and it makes my heart beat wildly in my chest.

"Baby?" He calls out, bringing me out of my thoughts.

I clear my throat and respond to him, "Yeah?"

"You okay?" He asks, making me look up at him.

"I'm fine but Damon, what happened? How did you get hurt?" I question as I grab his hand in mine.

"I was shot." He replies to me in such a calm manner as if it's an everyday occurrence for him.

"You were shot?" I ask even though he just told me that he was. "Why? By who?"

He breaks his gaze away from my eyes and looks at the wall instead. He's quiet for a few moments before he finally looks me in the eyes again.

"Look, baby... I was going to tell you but I didn't want you to leave me. At first, I thought you knew but that you were just pretending in the beginning. Then I realized I was wrong and you really don't know who I am." He says as he pulls me back down to sit on the bed again.

He puts a strand of loose hair behind my ear while I look at him with a frown. What the hell is he talking about? His words leave me in a confused state.

My brows furrow together as I c**k my head to the side in question, "What are you talking about, Damon?"

He exhales and looks down at our connected hands before looking up again and hesitantly saying, "Baby, I'm the Don of the American-Italian Mafia."

I don't say anything to him. I just stare at him in silence, trying to understand if I heard his words correctly. The American-Italian Mafia? The Don? The f*****g mafia?! This can't be true, right? It has to be a joke.

I slowly let go of his hand and move away from him. The look of hurt that he gives me makes my chest tighten but I brush the feeling away. I stand in the corner of the room, far away from him. I want to believe that he's making it up but why would anyone lie about something like this?

The realization that he's dangerous sinks in and I could do nothing but stand frozen in my spot. Images from the past flash before my eyes and my hands get clammy. I don't want him to hurt me or Lily.

I can't deny the feelings that I began getting for him but those feelings are nothing to me if it means putting Lily in danger. My hands are shaking and as if he read my thoughts or something, he tells me, "I would never hurt you or Lily, amore. I promise."

As his words sunk in and I kept my gaze on him, I slowly began to calm down. My heart believed him but my brain was still being cautious. He's never given me a reason not to believe anything he said. I don't think he has.

He lets me think to myself for a while as I run everything through my head. Doing what he does, it doesn't define him. I know that because he may be the Don of a mafia but whenever he's with me or Lily, he's the sweetest person ever. He just doesn't let anyone else see that side of him.

Taking a deep breath, I slowly make my way back to his side. He looks shocked at first. I'm sure he didn't think that I would walk back to him. He probably thought I was going to run out of the room, get Lily, take off and never look back. Maybe that's what I should've done.

Damon breaks into a smile and pulls me down next to him. He wraps one arm around my waist and caresses my cheek with his free hand, "I thought you were going to leave me."

A gentle smile tugs at my lips and I shake my head, "I don't want to. I believe you when you say that you would never hurt us."

He pulls me in and kisses me again. Then he starts leaving a trail of kisses down to my jawline, my neck, my collar bone, and finally on my chest just above my breasts. He slowly makes his way back up to my neck, gently biting and sucking.

His hand begins sliding up my shirt and I quickly stop him, "We're in the hospital."

He groans against my neck but still removes his hand, "So?"

"So, I don't want anyone to walk in on us." I tell him as my face heats up. Just the thought of someone walking in on us makes me embarrassed.

Damon sighs and places one last kiss on my neck before getting up off the bed and grabbing a small duffel bag from the chair against the wall, "Let's get out of here."

He walks into the bathroom and comes back out a few moments later fully changed. I look him over and say, "You can't leave. You're supposed to be resting."

"Says who?" He asks me with a raised brow.

I cross my arms over my chest, "Your doctor."

He chuckles and a light grin plays on his lips as he questions me, "Does it look like I give a f**k what the doctor or anyone else says? I don't take orders, I give them."

I roll my eyes at him and place my hands on my hips, trying to look and sound as serious as possible, "Fine, then me. I say you're supposed to be resting."

He laughs and places a kiss on my lips before walking to the door, "I'm sorry but I can't take you serious, amore. Come on... let's go get my princess and then we can leave."

We get back to my apartment a while later and spend the whole day together. Just me, Lily, and Damon. I have to admit, he's really good with her. It brings a huge smile to my face when I see them both together.

When it's time for Lily to go to bed, Damon goes into her room with me to say goodnight while I put her to sleep. After that, I start to clean up in the kitchen and living room. Then I take a shower and allow Damon to shower also before we end up in my bed.

Damon is on top of me, peppering me with kisses all over my face and neck. He pulls off my shirt and begins kissing my breasts. He cups one in his palm while gently sucking on the other, causing a wetness to form in between my legs.

He moves his mouth lower and eventually makes it down to my legs. He starts kissing my inner thigh as his fingers hook over the waistband of my shorts, slowly pulling them down.

When he takes them off, he starts placing kisses over my underwear before a smirk forms on his face, "You're already so wet, baby."

My heart is beating a million miles a minute. I've never done this before but I don't want him to stop. I want to do this with him. He makes me feel good.

He pulls off my underwear and looks at my now naked body. His stare makes me feel insecure so I wrap my arms around myself. He shakes his head and grabs my wrists, removing my arms from shielding my body.

"You don't need to hide from me. You're f*****g beautiful, amore." He states before kissing my lips.

I start tugging at the shirt that he's wearing and he pulls it off along with his boxers. I run my hands down his chest, over his abs, and land on his torso. It's dark in my room but the moonlight shining through my window highlights his perfectly sculpted body.

I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him back down to kiss those perfect lips of his. He spreads my legs a little more and puts his hand between our bodies.

I feel the tip of his d**k rubbing against me. I look down and my eyes go wide. I look back up to see him biting back a smirk. His size is impressive even though his is the only one I've seen in my life.

He lowers his head and kisses my lips again before saying, "Don't worry, amore. I'll go slow."

I slowly nod and keep my eyes locked on his face. He positions himself at my opening and asks in concern, "Are you sure you're ready?"

I bite my lower lip and nod my head again. He releases my lip from my teeth with his thumb and kisses me deeply before I start to feel him slowly sliding in.
