Chapter 251: I Want Many Things, Darling
Chapter 251: I Want Many Things, Darling
Camilla
It felt like a mental massage as I lathered shampoo into my hands, trying to wash myself without remembering the way Adriano's fingers had gripped me earlier in the same spot I was now. Droplets of water ran down my stomach and over the thick curves of my thighs, dripping down the same places Gregorio had run his shoe up, teasing me with Domenico's quiet murmur of praise on the side.
Goodness, in only an hour, these men have left me so mindfucked that I was actually wet just thinking about them again, forcing my hands to touch my body for as little as possible as I cleaned away the memories of tonight. I am sure I would see them again soon but for now I accepted that my shower and sleep were the only thing I would let myself think about for the rest of the night.
Washing over my stomach and being extra gentle around the most tender parts, I frowned at the sight of bruising already coming in clear, trying not to wash too much thought over it. By the time I actually turned off the shower and grabbed my towel, the tips of my fingers had gone wrinkled and cold.
"Hey, jacob." I called out as I padded back and forth on my feet, wrapping my overly large towel around my body as I debated if it was clear to walk out or not. Putting back on mud speckled and bloody clothes didn't really seem effective considering I had just showered out of them, however I also hadn't planned for Jacob to still be here when I got back. Stupid overworked brain.
I called his name just one more time more good measure with no response, my hair already starting to fall in little curls as I gripped my towel tight around me. It is not like Jacob hasn't seen me like this before because of the communal showers in our training center but he is still a grievance to me when he follows around like my own personal guard dog all the time.
Knowing I didn't really have a choice either way, I slid open the door to my bathroom tentatively just to find myself alone in the small room, nobody else here to accompany me. Well, that is until I walked up the two stair level to where my bed was, finding Jacob sprawled out just as comfortably as before on the mattress with my book.
"This is some interesting shit you read, Ranger?" He grins as he doesn't look up from the page he was on, my bookmark tossed onto the bed beside him carelessly.
For a second I was frozen, not knowing what to do as I stood there in disbelief. Then, it wore off, my feet carrying me all the way to his side before I pulled the book from his hand angrily, marking the page and setting it on the small table next to me. He was barely holding in his laugh as I curled my fingers around the front of his shirt, being mindful of the fact I was still only in a towel as I yanked him from the bed.
"I mean really, you know they have that shit on video now, right?" He continued, smiling from ear to ear as I dragged him across the room with one hand, holding my towel in place with my other. I think I have had enough of men for tonight.
"Time to go, Pope." I merely said, not letting myself smile in return at the situation before us. Instead, I walked him straight to the exit, my thoughts feeling less clouded as I blindly opened the door and threw him out.
If I had been more alert of my surroundings, I would have seen the disaster coming soon enough that I could stop it. But with all of Jacob's body weight tossing him forward, I could only raise my hand to my mouth as he went hurdling right in Gregorio's direction where he stood there in the same suit as when I saw him a few hours ago.
"Fuck!" Jacob cursed just as Gregorio stepped aside casually, completely unfazed that a man probably twice his body weight almost just slammed into him.
Instead, his eyes simply roomed my body curiously before returning to Jacob who just barely regained his balance, his eyes narrowing because he was just seeming to realize he wasn't the only one to see me like this. The second a
Jacob's gaze met Gregorio's, I sighed as I leaned against the door, watching the two straighten up instantly as they went into a stare down that made me shake my head, men.
"Perfect, now you can both have your dicks measuring contest away from me." I said, stepping back with my fingers curling around the door.
"Have a good night," I told them both with a false smile before I moved to close the door, not really caring to see why Gregorio was here at two in the morning.
Of course, however, my door simply closing and letting me have a peaceful night was just too much of a hope to wish for. Gregorio, still looking all put together, simply takes a single step forward, slipping his foot against the baseboard and preventing any kind of sleep I could have hoped to have before morning. I knew I wouldn't be able to stop him until he said what he was here for but while I didn't stand waiting at the door for him, I also didn't try to shove him out either.
"Goodnight, Pope." I offered a slight shout to let him know I was fine with this as I walked back up the small platform to my bed, sliding the modern version barn door divider closed so I could have some privacy dressing.
Every nerve was on alert as my body knew I wasn't alone in the suddenly all too small room of the apartment, seeing Gregorio's presence even though I couldn't see him right now. I imagined him walking back and forth silently, inspecting every inch of the place and mentally marking down what he found and what he didn't. He was taller than Jacob by a few inches and Jacob already looked too big in this space but when I finally stepped back out in a large hoodie and lacy blue shorts, I found nothing about Gregorio's position awkward.
He was sitting relaxedly on the only couch in the room, one that also pulled out into a bed if I ever wanted guests over for the night. His arm rested naturally over the back cushion with the ankle of his right leg resting naturally over the knee of his left. Gregorio sat like he belonged there and his smirk told me he knew that I was checking him out as well. I was much too tired for shame, though which was also why beating around the bush wasn't very appealing to me right now.
"What do you want, Gregorio?" I sigh as I cross my arms over my chest, staying on the small platform just to put some distance between us.
I didn't trust myself to stay in control around him at this time of night when my guard is already so faulty. I forced myself not to shift under the intensity of his gaze as his eyes took in every inch of me from head to toe, trying to ignore the throbbing of my stomach from where I was kicked only hours ago. My body was worn out in all the worst ways and I am not sure if I had it in me to stay awake for much longer.
"Well, I want many things, darling, though unfortunately this visit is for business not pleasure." He said as he smoothly got to his feet, his hands resting in the pockets of his jacket.
I stayed completely still as he took a step towards me, my heart starting to speed with raw emotions with each movement closing the distance between us just a little bit more. My neck was forced to be inclined the closer he got, almost a whole height above me as his hands came out of his pockets, the knuckles of his pointer finger gently knocking my head up to meet his eyes.
There was the same hazel I remembered, the same I was staring at only hours ago at dinner when he teased me out of my goddamn mind. Now was just as big of a game as before but with only him here, his entire being demanded my attention.
"Although, all you have to say is a single pretty word and we can change that." He smiles a kind of lethal expression I could see myself falling prey to even though my will demanded my knees straight.
"And what is that?" I played along, wishing I had put on a bra as his chest brushed against mine, the rock hard point of my nipples rubbing against the inside of my hoodie.
I was every bit alert as his hand dropped down, his nose nudging mine as I felt his warm exhale across my lips.
