HER DEEPEST DARKEST DESIRES

CHAPTER FIVE.

ADDY

After he left, I made my way to the kitchen to greet nonna because it has been a long time since I last saw her. She had grown more beautiful over course of two years that I saw her. Her new husband must be treating her well enough because was raidating with happiness.

"Cara Mia, you've grown so big that I can barely recognize my little addy". "How have you been?" "You must be attracting dons with this beauty of yours " Mamma stepped on her foot and she shrieked cursing in Italy and then again I regretted not taking my language classes seriously

"Teroso, why don't you go meet your cousins on the patio, they've been looking for you while I talk to your nonna". I nodded because this was a way of pushing me off and I'm sure as hell she was going to tell grandma what happened.

I walked from kitchen and into the diner where i heard my name as a shriek "Adelaide". It was my cousin Elena . She was my fifth cousin from my maternal cousin I was just a year older than her but she acted so much like a child. She ran to me while hugging and kissing me on both cheeks leaving the "muah"sound.

"I've missed you so much" she said sounding rather too excited.

"Elena we saw at the church on Sunday, remember?"

"Ohh,regardless I still missed you. Besides I just saw this handsome god ..permit me to say on the patio"

"Who is he?""He is soooo hot" she said breathlessly.

"Elena breath" who are you talking about?"

"Come on, the dude on the three piece custom made suit." "The dude with the chestnut hair".

"Ohhh" She was referring to Mr.dark and dangerous. And don't blame me, his aura gave him out, he seemed rather too dangerous. He seemed like trouble. A handsome one that .

"I don't know, I haven't seen him" What about him?" I wanted to layy hands in any information I could get about him

"They said his name is STEFAN VAUSE, the youngest don also known as Ace.He is known for his spectular qualities and monstrosities.

"What do you mean" I probed further.

"He kills like he gets off on seeing blood, he lacks emotions whatsoever. I also heard he has a disorder called OCD"

"You mean has an Obsessive compulsive disorder?"

"Yh, if that's what it means. Although I heard it has to with extreme cleanliness".

"Wow, that's really interesting".I said .

"I would go grab us some wine while we talk some more" Elena offered

I nodded but she was called off by another cousin of ours.

Soon enough, I would know more about this Stefan. Very soon ..

Moments later, dinner was served everyone was called to table before I came everyone was seated.

When I walked in all eyes were on me so I had to walk elegantly to my chair next to mum opposite Mr. Dark and dangerous.

When I settled down, I felt a rather too obvious gaze burning right through me making me insides and every part of me hyperaware. I looked up and caught his gaze, He only had his black shirt on now maybe because summer heat had done a number on him. He was tan, his hair was brown, the colour of chestnut and I couldn’t help but notice that his biceps were defined through his shirt. He was even more handsome beneath bright sun. It was unfortunate his personality didn’t match.

What I found the most intriguing about his appearance, however, was the dark ink that showed through his black dress shirt. It was vague, but I thought it went all the way from his shoulder to the gold watch on his wrist. STEFAN VAUSE had a full sleeve. I knew that gentleman look was all smoke and mirrors.I traced the tattoo into his dress shirt wondering what meant when I met his gaze with my arched brows. His gaze was burning hot I could feel my cheeks growing hot, I looked away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dinner went uneventful given the number of dons on the same table but I was grateful I didn't have to witness another murder. Murder... It was time to escort our guests to their cars. A man Ifigired his name was Velero followed Papá into his study to discuss maybe some important issues that couldn't wait till tomorrow. While Mamma went to see nonna off, after she specifically told me that the next dinner she should be invited to should be my Engagement dinner.

Ughhh.....

I stepped out on the patio to enjoy the cool night breeze smer came with. And I saw him again. STEFAN he tends to be everywhere, I can't f*****g get him out of my mind and now his everywhere in my home.His tie was silver and his shirt brilliantly black, the lines on it was meticulously done . The stark absence of color emphasizing those amazing blue irises. Standing there with his jacket open and his hands shoved casually into his pants’ pockets with a glass of champagne on the other. The sight of him was like running smack into a wall I hadn’t known was there.

I guessed he felt my gaze and turned to my direction, watching me intently as if he could read my expressions. He had a way of always pulling me in. He turned his gaze when someone walked up to him and started saying something I couldn't comprehend but through his expression I figured the presence was pissing him off real bad.

He responded to whatever the person said , drained his cup and walked towards his car.
