Chapter 269: No More Of That
Chapter 269: No More Of That
Camilla
Gregorio and Domenico were at my side now, waiting so desperately to save me and willing to sacrifice everything in their powers to make things just again but their hope was too short lived. As I remained there on the counter, silently distancing myself from everything that hurt, I saw a movement come from in front of me, Adriano walking towards us in a way that changed the feeling of the air itself.
His phone was clenched tightly in his hand, his eyes set on me like I was the ignition to the fire set ablaze within them. Gregorio's attention snapped to him just as Adriano leaned his hip calmly against the counter a mere few steps in front of us, too calmly. He cocked his head to the side like he was trying to get inside of me and as Domenico turned away from me to seek out the cause of the severe drop in temperature. He found his brother standing there, muttering the very word that told me all was from the same people who cc chased me less than an hour ago.
"Tell me, princess. What do you know about Cosmos Beck?" Adriano's voice curled deep within me, confirming it was one of the twins that called.
I watched as realization flashed in both Gregorio and Domenico's eyes at the same time their stares shot back to me, not just curiously but accusingly. This double shit.
"Who?" I tried to play it off causally even though we all knew it was bullshit and that I had just been caught.
I later got to know the old man I was guiding,his name was Cosmos Beck. Their presence alone demanded for me to answer to them, to bend to their wills and give up everything I knew but fúck that. I didn't care if they saw right through my lies of feigning innocence, I wasn't going to back down if it came to an argument.
Feeling Gregorio's arm shift against my side as he twisted to look at me better, Adriano let out a low chuckle in disbelief and amusement, clearly not even considering that I was capable of escaping his soldiers, twice I might have added.
Yes, I am the reason your stupid mission has failed the last two times.
"Well shit, darling." Domenico raised his eyebrows in something akin to amusement above all else as he tipped his head down to mine, seeming a hell of a lot more interested in the phone call now that he knew I was the reason for it.
"Things really have changed since we last saw you, haven't they?"
I scoffed as I curled my fingers around the edge of the counter, shifting forward and forcing him back so I could slip back onto my feet to stand on the ground. He didn't go far, though, making me severely aware of the fact that I was currently pinned in just my bra and underwear, smirking to myself as I let my hand drop to between us to tease at the hem of his shirt.
"Congrats, Domenico." I smiled up at him falsely as sarcasm dripped from my tone, slipping the tips of my fingers under the annoying soft fabric hugging his body.
"It only took you two weeks to figure out something I have already told you repeatedly." I continued, making it clear my expression was all an act, tugging hard all of a sudden and forcing his arms to lift so I could steal his clothes.
Mine were still covered in blood and I wasn't going to let my current state give them an edge over me. Holding his eyes, I stared into lustful swirls of blue as I slipped the shirt still warm from his body over my head, allowing the material to fall loosely over me while ignoring how much it smelled like him. The look of dark desire in his eyes was worth the cost of the united state my own, feeling power in the knowledge that he wanted me and the defiance in my eyes was telling him no. That exhilarating feeling only expanded at the fact I was being watched by two other men, irritated that I wasn't giving them the same attention.
Unfortunately for them, I was feeling more than playful right now but I had no plan of playing nicely. I may be outnumbered by three but they had no deal of what I was capable of now.
"By change, I meant I hadn't expected you to have become your father's little bitch whenever he calls." Domenico snapped back, hearing the other shift as the smile fell from my face.
He had no fucking clue as to why I took these jobs but as a hint, he should know it had nothing to do with follow my father's orders. I winced as he stepped into my body and forced my ass back against the counter with his hips, the feeling of being cornered like this leading to my hand rearing back. The last time I apologized for slapping him but there would be no regrets this time.
Bringing my arm up, a gasp was forced from my lips as his hand moved faster than I could avoid, his long fingers wrapping around my wrist and pinning it to my back.
"No more of that, darling." He purred as I tried to twist out of his hold, bringing my knee up to his crotch and having him turn at the last second so I hit this thigh instead.
I let out a low growl of frustration as I made use of my free hand, bringing it up and curling my fingers at the roots of his hair. I hated how stupidly soft it was as I yanked hard, trying to rear him back from me just for him to smile and take the pain, not even bothering to try and stop me from continuing. My cheeks went pink at the knowledge we had an audience to this, but it only motivated me to tug harder, dark strands caught within my grip but not helping me in the least.
"You know, Camilla. This wasn't how I imagined things would go for the next time you pulled my hair." Domenico grinned lazily at me before reaching his own hand up along mine, simply soothing at my wrist until I gave up and let go.
Not even a second later was he spinning us, cautious of my wounds but more than controlled in positioning me how he wanted me. With my back pressed firmly against his front, he had both of his arms wrapped around me like he was hugging me from behind and conveniently also keeping my own pinned down. If I twisted to get out of his hold, I would likely tear back open the cuts along my stomach but standing here left me immobilized and facing the two other men watching me with interested gazes.
I could tell from a single look alone that they intended to question me about Cosmos Beck now that I couldn't run away like I usually did, although I suspected things would go so much deeper than that tonight. There were things we needed to talk about, I just had a feeling they wouldn't go as smoothly as I had hoped this morning.
"Well, since it is clear you are not going to fess up about how you got these wounds, maybe Adriano has something to say about whoever was just on the phone, huh?" He whispered with his bare chest damn near burning a hole through the white shirt cloaking my body, his shirt that smelled like pine and cedar and a hint of presumptuous prick to go with it.
There was a kind of confidence to his words that put me on edge, his form so calm behind mine like he had no doubt he would be able to dig through every crevice of my mind by the end of the night should he wish so. It made me want to squirm out of his grip all the more, the only thing stopping me being the knowledge that I would likely fail and instead just end up rubbing against his dick currently nestled against the swell of my ass.
As if he knew where my thoughts has taken me, his fingers slid ever so slightly up to brush along the sides of my breasts, the thin material of his shirt doing nothing to hide the back lace of my bra. Gosh, it was so much easier when they were silent and I was bleeding out on the counter.
"Actually, nothing about that phone call told me it was the little devil before us that was responsible for sending our men back to us unconscious the last two times we have sent them out to take care of thieves." Adriano said, still leaning against the counter with Gregorio in a way that oozed unwavering power.
"In fact, I think I might have to remind the twins who their loyalties lie with considering how much we pay them for their jobs." He continues, earning a less than graceful snort from me.
I let them see the amusement on my face at the thought of them trying to boss people like the twins around over anything and thinking they would succeed. It would be a brutal fight for sure but one on one, I truly can't say I know for sure who would win something like that. Then again, there was a lot about the three men's strengths that I would never have had the chance to uncover a year ago when we were still together. It made me wonder however if the twins weren't the ones to inform Adriano about my involvement with Cosmos Beck's protection. Then who or what did?
"Me," Adriano muttered.
