Crowned love

Episode 12 First promises

After waking up, I had nothing to do with myself. Alex gave me a message from Marco that, unfortunately, we will not be able to eat dinner together today. I did not blame him about it. I understood that it was about work, but I wondered what part of it is legal or not. I decided to take a long warm bath and when I was pouring water into the bathtub when my phone rang, it was my mother, cramps. She didn't know anything about my tormentor, especially about my accident a few days ago. If I tell her, she will be worried and she will probably be angry that I did not say anything to her. For now I'm going to pretend that nothing is happening, then when it's all over and I catch this guy, I'll tell her about everything.

-Hi mom- I answered and tried to sound natural

-Daughter, how are you? You haven't spoken for a long time.

-Everything's fine, I'm just very busy, you know how it is every day, I have a lot to do-.

-I understand you have a lot on your head, but I'm worried about you. Why don't you visit us next weekend? - she asked hopefully in her voice

-Next weekend I'm busy but maybe I will make it at the end of the month. What do you think? -I had to be sure that my hand would heal and my face would return to a normal appearance.

-If you can't do it earlier, then it's good. I don't like it too much, you take on the responsibilities-I sensed her concern.

-Mummy, I have a few more months left, this is my only chance to do something for others-I sighed, she knew how important it was for me.

-I know, honey, just watch out for yourself and remember not to do anything by force-.

-Okay, I love you very much and kiss dad-it's good that mum called because dad was more suspicious than mom and he did not let go so easily.

-We love you too. Hold on and hear it-

-Bye bye -phew a stone from the heart. If my mother had guessed something, she would probably come to me right away and then everything would seem. My parents retired and moved to the suburbs of Chicago. They wanted peace and quiet. I liked their new home, there was a place to rest and, although I felt like it, I knew that I had to finish what I started and I would not let anyone intimidate me.

After the bath was over, I had a short chat with John. He told me that nothing was happening and nobody was watching the house, so over here I could feel safe, then I fell asleep and slept like a dead man.

The next morning, I decided to do some work from home earlier. I managed to persuade a few larger companies that wanted to help with the renovation of the orphanage and sponsor its equipment. I was glad that together we will be able to help these poor children. I wrote back a dozen e-mails. I had a visit to the children's hospital planned for this week, but I managed to postpone it to the next one. I also called Anna, as my agent, to find out how I can set up a foundation and raise funds for it. In the next month, I had several trips to New York, Los Angeles and Honolulu, among others. I liked to travel, but I knew that it was going to be tiring because there would be a lot to do and not a lot of time. Well, it is as it is, I can do it as always.

Several minutes later, someone knocked on my door. I looked at my watch and I was speechless. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. So I started working and I didn't notice how late. I hadn't eaten anything since this morning and only now did my stomach growling. Probably it was Maria, the housekeeper, sent by Marco, who brought me dinner. By the way, she was the most charming woman and she was prepared unearthly. Everyone was pleased with her presence, even my bodyguards, because she fed them with her delicacies.

-Please come in, Mrs. Maria-I said because I was sure that it was her. I wonder what is for dinner today.

The door swung open and I smelled a male citrus scent. I looked up to see it was Marco.

Oh crap, I forgot that he mentioned today's dinner, but I decided that since he did not speak all day, he would not visit me today either. And here is a surprise, and what a surprise. He looked as cool as ever, dressed in a dark shirt, tucked to the elbows and blue jeans, his hair neatly arranged like a model from the cover of a gentleman's magazine. He smiled.

-I see that you feel better now, since you stayed here for the whole day and you did not eat anything-he looked at me with interest.

-I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast, it's true, but I started work and so my time passed quickly-I returned his smile, I missed him, I wanted him to hug me and kiss me.

-I said that I would come today, and for yesterday I am sorry again for yesterday.-

-Nothing happened, I hope everything is fine-I noticed that he clenched his jaws as if the memories from yesterday annoyed him.

-Yes, the business dealt with it-it did not want to develop the topic and I did not press.

-Come on, let's eat something. Maria cooked delicious spaghetti, a typical Italian dish-he laughed.

At that moment, my stomach rumbled so loudly that it made me feel stupid and my cheeks plunged with embarrassment.

In the dining room, the table was laid for two and the food was already waiting, additionally I noticed a bottle of red wine. It surprised me, but I did not say anything. Marco pushed my chair back and when I sat down he took his place at the table in front of me. Spagetti was delicious. I never ate so well. I never ate. Even the macaron melted in my mouth. Knowing Maria's skills, she made it herself and did not buy it.

-And what it tastes like-Marco asked me

-Oh heaven in my mouth, really thank you for lending me your housekeeper is wonderful, everyone is here we embrace.I was so hungry that I swallowed everything off my plate very quickly.

-I'm glad that you like it and as for Maria, she is like a grandmother to me, she looks after me and Antonio since I was a child. -he smiled a little.

I wonder what his childhood was like? I would like to know more about his life but I'm not sure how much he wants to reveal to me.

-What about your parents? What do they do?

-Mum looks after the house and dad, like me, is a businessman in such a shortcut-I saw a flash in his eyes as if he knew that I knew something about his secret. Would you like to find out how much I know? He could tell me about himself. If I have to trust him, I should know the truth.

-And what was your childhood like? -I decided to explore the ground.

-I had a good childhood. My parents love us very much, me and my brother. As I am the older son of a certain age, my dad started to prepare me to take over his duties in the family business-hmm, I know very well what kind of business I added in my mind and it started to irritate me slowly by his pretending.

-And how are your parents, Amelia? What was your childhood like? -He answered the ball, I only cleverly thought that I had nothing to hide.

-Dad was an engineer for a telecommunications company. My mother looked after the house, but when I went to school to work as an accountant, now they are retired. I had a great childhood. I could not complain about anything. When you are the only child in the house, sometimes you feel overprotected by your parents.

"parents did not want to have a second child?", he seemed surprised

-They tried, but they did not come out, so it's only me - people asked me very often if my siblings were missing. And I always answered yes and no. Because there were times when I was little, I wanted to have siblings, especially a sister to play with, but as I grew up, I always had a lot of friends and I was through.

-I understand sometimes this is the way of life-he added, looking deeply at my eyes.

I decided to change the subject.

-Marco next week I want to return to work. I have a few meetings and in two weeks I have to go on a business trip.I wanted him to know. I guess he will not be happy.

-Why are you in such a hurry about this? You know you don't have to? - he was annoyed

-I know, but I feel better and I do not want to have too long arrears. I managed to find a few investors who would finance the child care home which I recently visited and decided to start my own founding one .-

-I am glad that you have found people who want to help you, but I am worried about your health. Are you sure ?

-Yes, I have a few more days. I will rest-

- And as for this foundation, I am impressed that you are so ambitious in implementing your plans - he looked into my eyes and I saw pride in them. He really enjoyed my success.

-Thank you, I want to use the time I have and wear the crown. I hope I can do even more - I added enthusiastically.

- You will surely succeed. If you want help, let me know I will gladly support you, even financially. And what about your trip for servants are you going? - he asked and I felt a hint of anxiety in his voice.

-For two weeks- grimaced with dissatisfaction.

-Hmm, I would like to go with you but now I can't, too much is going on and I have to be in the city-I was choked he wanted to go with me?

-But why would you go with me? -I asked because I didn't understand any of it.

-I would like to be with you, take care of your safety-with, it became serious I did not know what to think. He told me earlier that he cares about me but I did not know what I was standing for.

-Marco, I do not know how to pick up on your behavior and what is between us-I said honestly I do not want to play stalking. I looked into his dark eyes and saw a glow in them, then he stood up, came to me and stretched out his hand. I grabbed his hand and stood up, standing so close that I could feel his captivating scent and the warmth of his body. I felt like cuddling against his broad and toned arms, I really needed it.

-Look at me please, - he said in a warm voice.

I did what he asked and I was lost, eyes black as coal stared at me with a visible desire.

-Amelio, what is between us is very serious. You are very important to me, you turn me on like another woman and I can't stop thinking about you. I want you to be mine and I know we have known each other for a short time, but I don't mind. I will look after you and protect you at all costs.

Oh God, I didn't expect that, he said everything I wanted to hear. I felt the same and it turned me on so much that it hurt.

-Marco, I also can't stop thinking about you and you are more than a friend to me, but it all happens so fast-I added. Because I felt stunned by this, he told me.

-I understand you and I will give you time if you need him, but he won't give up on you, understand? As I said, I want to have you by my side like my woman - I felt butterflies in my stomach and I felt hot.

Then he leaned in and kissed me. First he touched my lips gently when I opened them, he broke in with his tongue and I dismissed the kiss. He was strong, violent and so excited that I could feel the wetness between my legs. O mother, how nice it was before, no one kissed me so much with such strength and desire. In the meantime, Marco's hands slipped down my waist and I was ready, Jesus, to give myself back to him. What was he doing to me? I hugged him tightly by the neck and deepened the kiss even more. We broke away from each other after a few minutes, panting with desire and I grimaced because the pain in my hand made me know about myself when I threw him around his neck, but it was worth it at 100%.

-Your hand hurts-he said in a hoarse voice and only now I felt his masculinity digging into my thigh, apparently he also liked our approach. I smiled

-A bit, but it was worth it-

-Dear, if it were not for your accident, you would be lying on the bed now and I would show you how much I care about you-he muttered in my ear, and I felt a burst of desire

-But you have to recover, we will make up for it - he laughed - I would like to invite you for dinner to my parents, they would like to meet you.

-To your parents? Did you tell them something about me? -I was surprised because I did not know that they thought about me so seriously.

-I said nothing, but my mother will be in seventh heaven when she turns away. What a beautiful woman I have by my side-he flashed with white teeth, and I will kiss my sore hand.

- Okay, but I will do it only after returning from the trip. Now I will be very busy - I have to catch up.

OK, when you come back, we will arrange it when and at which - I nodded my head as a sign of consent.

- Will we see you tomorrow? - he asked, pleased with my answer.

-If you have time- I wasn't too busy until the end of the week

For you, for sure, my beauty, he purred, he kissed me on the lips and told me straight into my ear, I can't wait to sleep sweetly, my Amelia. Then he walked out, leaving me burning to the limit.
