Damon

I reached to our room and I saw her sitting on the floor and cleaning a lot glass. "What happened here?" There were shattered pieces of glass all over, I looked and understood that the full length mirror must have crashed. She was startled at my voice. Like I broke her chain of thoughts. She wiped her tears and turned around towards me "um-I-I. It broke" she said stuttering. "How?" I asked puzzled. "I-I actually." She got up. She was fidgeting her fingers "I am sorry, it broke because of me." She apologized.

I reached her turning her towards me with her shoulders. "Look at me" I told her and she lifted her face. "Do you think that I care about this that you broke a stupid mirror? I am asking how? What happened? Are you okay?" I asked her. How could she say that she is sorry, does she really think that I would be angry because a mirror broke. But if she did something like this, she is not okay and that's what concerns me.

I was right because she hugged me tightly crying softly. "Hey Doll. Talk to me baby" I tried to comfort her. I took her hand and I sat on the bed with her in my lap. "I kind of had a panic attack before I came to you. I was so scared I just couldn't handle the threats anymore. The guilt of taking Enzo there, where he was supposed to be killed, regret of letting Ric drawn towards the face of danger, remorse of letting Laeila's killer get away, sorrow of loosing my family and-and fear of loosing you made me loose my mind. It was like the sound of my immoral evil deed kind of trapped me in the chains. How? When did I became such a person Damon? That I could go to the extent of betraying the people I love to save one of them." She said sobbing hard. I hugged her and engulfed her in my arms. I rested her head on my chest. "Shhh...relax Doll. You did nothing wrong baby". I brushed away her hair from her face and wiped her tears. "You did nothing wrong. You didn't put anyone in danger. You didn't betray any of your friends baby. You haven't betrayed me. You know today my trust in you have grown even more. I love you baby and I am proud that I love you . You will never loose me. I promise you." I said and I kissed her. I hugged her again and I felt her relaxing a bit I am sorry Doll that you have to go through this panic attack alone, I will never let you go through such turmoil again. Its my promise to myself.

"What's the plan?" She asked me once she composed herself.

"We will save your brother" I said with a smile to her. At this moment she needs to relax so I took her in my arms she squealed. "Where are you taking me?" She asked all puzzled. I took her downstairs to the kitchen and sat her on the counter. "What are you doing?" as she asked Alysia entered the kitchen. She got all flustered seeing us. "mi dispiace Don. I didn't know you were here." She said turning around. [I'm sorry Don]

"Alysia sugar, there is too much glass broken in our room. Ask someone to clean that up, will ya?" I said to her. " Yes Don" and she left hurriedly. She is so innocent. I hope Julio is not the rat for her sake but my instincts are telling otherwise. This will break her. And her sorrow hurts me. She is also like a child to me. "Don why you brought me here?" Sophia's voice brought me back. And I smiled looking at her. I kissed her on the forehead and said "Because my Doll needs to eat something first" I started looking in the refrigerator what we have. "But Don I am not hungry, seriously." She said the much obvious answer I was expecting from her. "Well say that after you take first bite of my grilled cheese" I said winking at her. "Don really I-" "shh" I kept my finger in her lips before she could complete her protest "I know you are worried. What you have been through, I know you are scared, you are tensed. Trust me I get that. But right now all you need to do is relax. You have worn yourself out a lot Doll. You need to get a hold of yourself. You can win the fight only when you have your body, mind and soul fit to fight, huh". I said cupping her cheeks. She nodded in understanding. "You trust me right?" I asked her. "Yes" she said smiling. "Then sit back and relax. Leave it to me. I will-" this time she kept a finger on my lips saying "So che il mio mostro mi proteggerà" she said. [I know my monster will protect me] "Am I dreaming? Since when does my Doll started speaking Italian?" I asked surprised. "I used to learn little bit from Caprice and Alysia sometimes. But I know I talk like an amateur, lack of practice, I guess." She told me. "Well we can get your practice in routine, how about we start with, ummm, I don't know "ti amo" [I love you] I said kissing her on her earlobe. "ti amo anch'io" [I love you too] she whispered back. "I am impressed Doll. So much that you are going to get my world famous Marinara Sauce along with grilled cheese" I said and she laughed

I took her hand and bring her to the garden in the shack next to pond. We sat on the shack floor and she set up our food and I brought the wine. "It looks like we are having a picnic" she giggled. I kept the glasses after filling them and sat down pulling her into my arms. "Everyday with you is a picnic amore" I said kissing lightly on her neck and she blushed. I took the sandwich and bring it to her mouth. She took a bite and moaned in pleasure. "Okaaayyy, you need to think about the voices you make if you don't want to give ducks a censored show." I said to her in my husky voice. Well who can blame me her moans make me hard always. "Shut up" she said giggling as punched lightly on my arm. "Its not my fault your food is giving my foodgasm" she said taking another bite. She enjoyed it with closed eyes throwing her neck back at my shoulder. She is so hard to resist. But why should I resist anyway, she is mine. Thinking I pulled her hair making her head tilt a bit more towards me "Ahh" the sudden movement surprised her resulting in a light scream escaping her. "Da-" I kissed her hard before she could say my name. "Wh-what are you doing?" She asked me breathless as we broke the kiss. Her hand was on my chest and her forehead was touching mine. "I am taking what's mine" I said and I could see her eyes go wide. "Here?" she asked and I took the sandwich from her plate dipped it in the sauce and brought it near her mouth. She took a bite. Our eyes were locked with each other as she chewed and swallowed it. "Why not? Are you mine only in my bedroom?" I answered her question in a question. She shook her head "N-No" she said in a whisper and I gave her another bite. She ate that too looking at me. My finger followed the bite down her throat as she swallowed. "W-what if anyone se-sees us?" She asked . I gave her last bite of the sandwich. "Then they will turn around" I said as she chewed it. I knew none of my staff have the audacity to sneak up on me when I am with my girl. I kissed her as the bite moved down her throat. I could feel her lips trembling as my hands moved to the back of her dress opening the ribbon that kept the dress tied up. "Ah" she hugged me with a gasp. "Pl-please no-not here. Its so bright and sunny here and there are guards. What if-" she stopped feeling my teeth at the crook of her neck. "This is my home and this" I said as I looked up to her pulling away the hairs hiding her beautiful face. I lifted her chin asking her look at me "and this is my Doll, right?" I said and she nodded looking at me. She is scared. And this is the fear I like in her eyes. The fear which is preceded by temptation and followed by pleasure. "Good, and I want my Doll." I said and she took her hands off my neck and laid back on the floor.

She was breathing hard. I could see her chest heaving up and down. I could see the red marks of her hands from when I held her in the study. I brushed my fingers along with it followed by my tongue. I put her hands above her head and pinned her wrists in my single hand. I touched the light bruise on her cheek bone which is the result of my slap in the study. I touched it and my lips followed my hand as I kissed her on it. I bit her slightly there and licked her wound. She was breathing hard but she laid still. Not that I was expecting any resistance but the way she still trembles under me like she did the first night make me go crazy for her. She knew what I needed and I could see tears welling up her eyes as I bit on the bruise. "that's my girl" I said brushing my thumb across her lips and I kissed her hard.

Without breaking the kiss I took the strap of her dress down and moved downwards. I bit her on her collar bone and sound of a hiss told me it was a bit too hard. I looked at her and a tear rolled down her eyes on the bite and the smirk appear on my face. Her tears are my kryptonite. When she is trembling beneath me with her eyes filled with tears arching herself to me and screaming my name, the sight is enough to kill me. "God you are so beautiful" I said lightly kissing her tear away. She tried to take her hands out of my grip but her struggle stopped as my grip tightens. Why she even try? This never works and she knows it. "I want to touch you too" she said to me and I loosened my grip. I felt her hand on my chest beneath my t-shirt and other on my cheek and she kissed me. Her hands moved to my hair and she pressed me towards her and I got lost kissing and biting her neck.

We laid there breathless after having an intense session of love that was certainly not on the agenda when the day began. "You are crazy?" She said getting up as she catch her breath. She pulled up her dress. She was trying and failing in tying the ribbon at the back to keep the dress in place. I reached her hands and she stopped. I tied her ribbons together. "Well I wasn't the one who was making crazy sounds minutes ago" I said teasing her on her muffled moans "Hey you asked me to keep quiet" she said pushing me and threw my t-shirt to me which I catch laughing. She picked up the glass of wine and drank it one go. "Hey hey slow down, hotmess" I said getting up untangling her hair. She shook her head smiling. I laughed a bit and pulled her to my chest. I hugged her and we sat there in silence and she lifted her head "Thank you Damon" she said. "For what?" I asked not having a clue of why she thanked me. "I needed this." She said kissing my cheek and continued "A break from all the insanity. I needed you." She said kissing my other cheek "And for the world's best grilled cheese" she chuckled as she kissed my nose and we laughed.

Her phone broke our moment and her laughter died. Her eyes widened and she gulped in fear as her screen read 'Private Number'. I put my hand on her shivering ones. "Take the call." I told her and she looked at me in surprise. "Yes, be calm. Talk to him like you do." As she was about to answer "Wait." I stopped her. "There is still time in midnight. He might be asking you about you meeting him. Tell him Enzo will be there but you cannot come. Convince him to let Enzo come there alone. Okay?" She nodded slightly and received the phone. She kept the call on speaker. "Finally, I thought he killed you. What took you so long to answer the phone?" My fist clenched on hearing the voice of that deranged bastard. "What do-do you want?" She asked. "What do you think? You brother would like to give up his eyes first or ears?" That idiot just wanted to toy with her. "What is wrong with you? I told you I will do what you want why are you still hurting him?" She said almost in anger. "Because my partner is sleeping on the job" he said. "I am not sleeping you gave me time till midnight than wait till midnight" she said with gritted teeth. "Ahaa, so you accept that you are my partner" he doesn't miss a chance. She let out a sigh in irritation. "So you are bringing Enzo at that address at 12?" he asked. She looked at me and I nodded for her to go ahead with what I said. "Yes. Bu-but there-there is a problem." She said. I must say she was doing pretty good. "What?" He asked with frustration. "I-I will send Enzo but I can-can't come." She said in a lower voice. "Do you take me for a fool Donna. You think I will let my only leverage on Enzo to stay back and plan for his rescue" I knew he would be using her as leverage. Bloody scoundrel. "Listen its-its impossible for me to get out. Try to understand. He won't let me go. He is at home. You think he will let me go with someone else when he is here." She reasoned with him in a language that he will understand. Saying I will not allow her to go out with Enzo. "Then make an excuse" he said. "You know it's not that simple" she said. "And how are you planning to send Enzo alone. What excuse are you making then?" He asked. She looked at me and said "I-I wi-will tell him that I ordered a surprise for Don and that needs to be picked up from the shop adjacent to this place. He will go if I request him that it's my gift for Don" she blinked her eyes too many times like she does when she lie. He laughed on the other side "well partner this indeed will be the surprise for your husband." He said and I rolled my eyes. "Listen please. Please understand I can't step out. He won't allow me and I cant-" " I know I know your husband is one arrogant controlling piece. Don't worry love soon you will be free of him and be my Donna." He said and she scoffed. Is she mad? "What still have a doubt that I can beat him?" They had this conversation before. I thought to myself. "You are nothing but a pathetic rapist and a killer. You are a coward who is running from his own evil deeds and I suggest you should have ran faster maybe you would have got a little time more. Because no matter how much you run fate will get you. You will never win." She said. She doesn't seem so scared right now. It is a good thing. I don't like her getting scared from others. "Oh yeah, and the God that you worship, that Caprio he is pure as an angel, right?" he commented on her. "Yes he is, and for you he is the Angel of Death and he will kill you." She retorted and I had a strange feeling. I felt proud that she trusted me so much. He laughed again and her fist clenched. She was lost in her conversation. "Oh Donna, you are naïve. You know what partner, I give you what you want. Send Enzo alone. Stay back. I would love to see how you save both your brother and your friend. Today you will know how wrong you are. Say your goodbyes to your dear friend, and yeah my condolences in advance." he laughed and disconnected.

She threw the phone in anger with a grunt and I held her from back. "Kill him, just kill him" she said in irritation. "I will Doll. I will end your nightmare. I promise you." I said holding her in my arms.
