Burning Heart

CHAPTER 2

“My little bird.” he cupped my face and looked deep into my eyes. “It's nice to finally see your face.”

I was in such shock and ‘D’ was transfixed on me, we completely forgot that there were six other people standing not too far away.

“ ‘D’ …..”

“Dante.”

“Dante,” he gave me a mischievous smile and I could feel my face flush with heat. “There are other people still watching.”

Dante glanced sideways at the other men, “Aspettami qui sotto,” he said as he glared at them.

They scurried away like they were afraid of him. Dante turned back to me as soon as they left and pressed his lips to mine. I squeeked, like actually squeeked, and not just because part of my mouth was sore from being punched, but because this was my first kiss. And like the absolute virgin that I am, I just stood there frozen.

He pulled away and started laughing, “Your face is redder than a tomato.”

I covered my face in my hands in embarrassment and he pulled me close to his chest.

“Follow me.” he whispered in my ear.

I did and he led me through the kitchen and down some stairs to a room near the back. It was just big enough to fit a full-sized bed, a medium dresser, and a door next to it that I'm guessing was a small closet, leaving just enough space to walk around everything. The bed was dressed fully in all black and I'd never seen anything so welcoming. He lifted me into his arms bridal style and gently sat me on the bed, placing another kiss on my lips.

“Wait here for me here.” and he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

I sat there stunned, trying to gather my thoughts on everything that just happened and giggled a bit. Holy hell, the most perfect, dreamiest man I have ever seen turns out to be my penpal/best friend and also just kissed me. I laid sprawled out on the bed barely able to contain my happiness. After what felt like a few hours, I got bored and curious, so I slid off the bed and went to the door next to the dresser and opened it. I was stunned to see that it was actually a decent-sized bathroom, fully furnished with a walk-in shower, sink and toilet. The thought of a warm shower excited me and, without thinking, I undressed and turned the water on. It felt amazing and I sighed as I submerged myself under the water completely. A bottle of men’s body wash sat in the soap cubby next to my shoulder, and not having any wash of my own, I decided this was my best option and I would explain and apologize to Dante later. It was that or continue smelling like sweat. After lathering myself and rinsing off, I enjoyed the water running over my naked body for a few more minutes before shutting the water off ringing the excess water out of my hair before stepping out.

“s**t!” I cursed myself as I realized I didn’t have a towel.

OR CLOTHES!!

Damn it, this is so embarrassing.

A knock on the door caused me to jump. I didn’t have a second to recover and answer when it opened and Dante walked in carrying a towel. Instinctively, I covered what I could of my body with my arms and hands, earning a playful smile from Dante. He leaned against the door frame and threw the towel to the floor behind him, his playful smile turning to lust and hunger the longer he looked at me. I should have felt embarrassed or shy, but I wasn't expecting to feel turned on by the way he looked at me. My thighs felt slick, and not from the shower, as I tried to subtly squeeze my thighs together to control the urge growing down there as my arousal pooled between my legs. He, however, saw this and was now slowly walking towards me until I was backed against the wall.

“I want you to be mine little bird.” his breath tickled my ear as he whispered.

“I was so happy to have found a genuine friend in this crazy life I live that I didn’t realize I was falling in love with you. I wanted to tell you, but was afraid that I would scare you off and lose you, but now that you are here I want to have all of you to myself.”

“I fell in love with you too, but always thought I was never good enough for someone as amazing as you.”

It was true. Even though I always saw Dante as a friend over the years, I couldn’t help but develop feelings for him. He has been the only one to ever see me as I truly am and still accept me.

He smiled at my confession and smashed his lips into mine, his hand snaking up the side of my body and tangled in my hair. I surprised the both of us by letting out a moan as his fingers dug deeper into my hair and he pulled my head back to kiss the sensitive spot under my jaw.

“I-i…” Was all I could stutter.

“Must be very sensitive.” he laughed.

“I’ve never been touched, at all.” I spoke softly.

“F***.” he muttered under his breath.

He grabbed me by the hips and lifted me up, wrapping my legs around his waist as I threw my arms around his neck. We continued passionately kissing as he carried me into the other room and laid me on the bed, crawling on top. I gasped as his hands explored my body, tenderly massaging my breasts, and slowly caressing my thighs. His touch sent shockwaves through me as he slipped a hand between my thighs and began massaging my most sensitive area before slipping two fingers in. My back arched and I rolled my hips into his palm as he kept a gentle rhythm.

“I’m going to make you mine.” He growled into my ear.

He removed his hands from me and began to strip his clothes. I sat up in the middle of the bed and stared taking in the breathtaking sight in front of me. Dante had the body of a god, his abs were chiseled and well defined, his smooth skin had only a few scars but still somehow made him look beautiful.

He was now naked and his fully erect manhood was eye level with me, and holy hell, it's a monster. Dante saw the look on my face and smiled, he grabbed my chin and lifted my head to look him in his eyes as he brushed his thumb across my bottom lip.

“I promise to be gentle.”

I laid back expecting him to crawl back on top of me, but instead he knelt down, grabbing my legs and spreading them apart, he cupped his hands behind my knees and pushed them to my chest. Another moan escaped from me as he licked my slick folds before his lips closed around them and began to suck lightly. I grabbed a fist full of his hair and felt his tongue slip inside me, my moans growing louder and more urgent, begging for more as I felt the pressure in me build. My body tensed and spasmed as the pressure peaked and finally released, washing over my body in pure ecstasy.

My breathing was ragged and I panting as Dante repositioned himself over me. He kissed me deep and passionately, his erect head nudging at my entrance and I gasped into his mouth as he slipped inside.

“F*** you’re tight.” he was now trailing kisses down my neck.

His hips met mine but didn’t move, allowing my body to adjust to his size. Once he saw that I had caught my breath, he slowly began to move and find his rhythm. I tried to match his thrusts with my own, only for him to pin my hips down under his iron grip, he was hitting every sweet spot making me moan in pleasure, my orgasm building once again.

“Dante!” I moaned his name as my body spasmed with bliss once more.

His movements became erratic and he picked up speed. With one last thrust, he shoved deep inside me and finished having reached his own climax. I felt his member twitching inside me as I was filled to the brim with his semen.

“Happy birthday little bird.”

We laid there in each other's naked embrace, my body sweaty and feeling as though I was floating in the clouds. I soon fell asleep in Dante’s arms.

*******

Waking up wasn’t pleasant, my body was still stiff from last night, but surprisingly, wasn’t as sore as I thought it would be. I stretched a little too far and rolled off the bed, pulling the sheet that was covering Dante and I along with me. A soft laugh came from the bed, I untangled myself and peered over the edge to see Dante propped up on his elbows smiling at me, still naked and fully exposed. His hair was messy and sticking out everywhere, only adding to his preexisting sexiness.

“Morning,” he said with a raspy voice.

I tried to hide my blushing face behind the sheet I wrapped around me to cover my naked body, only to have it catch under my knee as I was trying to climb back onto the bed, making me fall on top of him. His arms instinctively found their way back around me and I buried my face in his chest from embarrassment. He began stroking my hair and I relaxed into his touch. The soothing feeling made me smile, forgetting about how much of a clutz I am.

“My life will be much better now that I have you here.”

I wanted to lie there with him forever, but the little voice in the back of my head was nagging at me and I knew that I needed to talk with him about last night and everything going forward. Hesitantly, I pushed back from him and sat up across the bed from him, “Listen, can we talk about last night?” He slowly leaned forward, a look of concern on his face as he nodded.

“Last night was….Amazing.” his face softened as he smiled and I could tell what he was thinking about. “I want to spend more time with you, and not just for s*x, but because I truly have feelings for you. I want a committed relationship with you…. If that's what you want too, I meant every word when I said I fell in love with you and I know things happened so fast, but I just want to make sure that you feel the same way and it's not all one-sided.” Dante had an amused look on his face and began laughing.

“What?”

“You are incredibly adorable,” he chuckled. “And I meant every word I said as well.”

I smiled, having him return my feelings was the best thing I ever felt, and I covered my face once again. He slid off the bed and stood in front of me. He grabbed my chin, making me look up at him. The motion was forceful but didn’t have any bad intent behind it, it was more of an authoritative action really. His eyes bore into mine as his lips danced across my lips and down my throat where he bit into my collarbone. I whimpered at the shock it sent through my body.

“And I do mean every word. You are mine now, Byrche, and I don’t plan on losing you now that I have you.”

Just as I began running my fingers through his hair as he started sucking at the spot he was just biting, someone knocked on the door.

“Capo, saremo attraccati a breve.” a man spoke from the other side.

I groaned, letting my arms fall to my side. “Please tell me you don’t have to go.” I whined.

He laughed with his mouth still attached, it sent vibrations through me and I let out an involuntary moan. I just hope it wasn’t loud enough for the other guy to hear.

“What are your plans, little bird?” he pulled away and began dressing.

“Well, I don’t have a plan really….”

He cut me off. “Good, come back with me then. I’ll show you my home.” fully dressed now, he leaned over and kissed me.

“Now be a good girl and shower and get dressed.” saying that, he turned and left the room.

I stared at the door stunned. What just happened? How can the way he speaks to me cause so much excitement? Part of me wants to do exactly what he says while another wants to find out what happens if I don’t. Oh my god, what is happening to me?

Deciding to listen, I went and showered. Fortunately, this time there was a towel for me to dry off with. And somehow my bag had found its way onto the dresser even though I specifically remembered forgetting it in the kitchen on deck when I snuck on board, and I noticed Dante never moved from where he fell asleep after last night. Not wanting to think about the possibility of one of the other men having seen me naked, I also dug through my bag, pulling out my underwear and bra along with a pair of sporty shorts and a cropped tank. I threw on a baggy flannel just to feel more comfortable and shoved my other clothes into the bag before zipping it shut and slipping on my shoes.

By the time I made it up the stairs, the boat was already in the dock, Dante and the other men were nowhere on board, so I went in search of somebody. I made my way onto the beach as I saw one of the six men I saw last night heading towards me.

He still wore the same black suit, and looking closer I saw that his eyes were green and he had pale skin with light freckles.

“Please tell me you speak English.”

“Yes, ma’am I do.” he laughed, and, shockingly, his accent was American.

I sighed in relief. I think I'm going to start learning Italian so I can communicate with other people just in case. I don’t know why that didn’t come to mind until now.

“Good, I thought I was going to have to play charades for a second there.” that earned another laugh from him.

“Unfortunately, I am terrible at guessing games. Just ask my fiance.”

He gestured for me to walk with him as he led me to a road just off the beach.

“So, do you have a name or am I going to have to refer to you as goon #1?” I nudged his arm playfully.

“Just call me Baxter ma’am.” I laughed at him calling me ma’am.

Baxter looked at me confused as to why I was laughing.

“Hey,” I said, stopping him. “You’re probably a good bit older than me, so there’s no need to call me ma’am, my name is Byrche.”

“I don’t think the boss would like that,” Baxter said with a hint of worry in his voice.

“Who, Dante? Why do you call him boss? Does it have something to do with his company?”

Baxter didn’t say anything, he just kept quiet as we approached a blackout-tinted SUV. He reached out and grabbed the door handle to open it for me, but I stopped him.

“I don’t care how Dante wants you to address me, I’m telling you to call me Byrche.”

Saying that, I opened the car door and slid in, only to be greeted by an angry-looking Dante sitting across from me. His eyes held fire as they roamed up and down my body before landing on my exposed thighs. Baxter was about to slide in next to me when Dante shot him a quick menacing look. He retreated, closing the door behind him, leaving me to Dante’s mercy.

“I told you to be a good girl. So why do you look so….intoxicating?”

He rubbed his hands the length of his thighs like he was trying to wipe away sweat, while his eyes turned hungry and seductive. He licked his lips when sitting back, motioning for me to move closer with his finger, and pointed to the floor in the space between his knees.

The car had started moving so it felt a bit awkward trying to stand hunched over, “No.” he stopped me, “Crawl.”

I carefully dropped to my hands and knees and began to slowly crawl my way to him, my eyes never leaving his. Dante guided me and placed my head to rest on his thigh, he stroked my hair as he stared down at me.

“I am a good girl.” I pouted.

Holy s**t, did I really just say that? I was beginning to feel turned on at the way he was treating me, my thighs rubbing together as I tried to contain the pressure swelling between them and resist the urge to touch myself. He grabbed my face in both hands and pulled me closer until my stomach was resting between his thighs against his groin, my hands were pushing down on the seat cushions on either side of him.

“I’ll let this one time slide, but it's only because I forgot to inform you of the little details about my… interests.” he hissed the word seductivly in my ear.

I whimpered as he kissed me hard and passionately, the hunger behind it making me even more wet. Dante pulled back, he looked down at me again, flashing his sexy sly smile before picking me up and turning, so I was now the one sitting with him leaning between my legs.

“It seems I have caused a bit of a problem for you.” he kissed the inside of my thigh and bit down. “I’ll have to take care of that.”

He grabbed the tops of my shorts and underwear, pulling them off in one quick movement, my knees were pinned to the back of the seat, my naked lower half was now in full view for him. I knotted my fingers into his hair as he wrapped his lips around my swollen wet s*x. When his tongue pushed past my slick folds I moaned, arching my back, wanting more. In mere minutes, my body spasmed with orgasmic relief from the magic his mouth was working, our eyes locked and for a brief second his eyes flashed bright silver, a completely different color from his grey-blue. It happened so fast I thought I had imagined it, and they were back to their original color.

“Dante…..” I was panting and my breathing was ragged.

But he didn't give me a chance to speak before he climbed out of the car, leaving me in stunned silence.
