Chapter 60: I Look Happy
Chapter 60: I Look Happy
Camilla
"I…" I started but my voice falls shut as he quietly hushes me with his.
Sitting on his laps and sinking my body halfway into the warm water, I let out a thankful sigh as his hands reached up to the back of my neck and his rough fingers began to massage the muscles there. Surprising me, he planted a kiss on the back of my head. He continues his path downward, working out all of the kinks in my neck, shoulder and upper and lower back.
My eyes closed in exhaustion as he expertly worked the side of my torso effectively easing all of the knots and tension from my still spent body. I wanted to say something, anything that might provide him some comfort but I have no clue how to comfort someone like Adriano. He is even more close off than I am and I can tell he doesn't want to talk right now.
I have so many questions about his room, the never ending cuts on his hands and why he looked at me with such uncertainty when I walked into the room but in the end, I stayed silent, allowing him to continue to work his magic with his fingers on my body.
By the time he was through, I was nothing but a puddle of mush for him, leaning back against him. As he was completely done, he turned to me to straddle him, hooking one of his large arms around my waist before standing with me still wrapped around his body. He effortlessly steps out of the tub, still not saying a word as my arms move to rest over his wide shoulders. Studying his face, my gaze eventually drops down to look at his lips causing me to realize that we haven't kissed before.
I don't know if that was intentional on his part or not but I didn't get to thinking about it too much when I was being carried into his bathroom and placed on the cold marble countertops. A small smirk appeared on his face at my hiss but he was still silent. Unwrapping my legs around his waist, he stepped away and grabbed a towel from some weird compartment that looks a little like a miniature oven.
I can't help it as my gaze flicks down his ass before shooting back up when he turns and I give him an innocent smile, it seems to brighten his sour mood just a little bit. Waking up to me, I expected him to hand me the towel but he surprised me when he began to dry every inch of my body himself, the cloth turning out to be warmed.
I am still worried about him but every movement of him seems to be a lullaby for my body. I felt myself drifting back off to sleep by the time he was through with drying my body and lifting me back into his arms like a baby.
"I can walk, you know?" I joked, happiness spreading through me at the small smile I managed to pull from his face. But he didn't put me down though.
Taking a step out of the bathroom, he gently lays me down on the non-destroyed section of his bed before opening a bottle of water sitting on his nightstand. I suddenly became aware of just how thirsty I am at the sight of it and gratefully took it when he passed it to me. I drink nearly half the bottle in one go before setting it back down on the table.
"You should sleep." I murmured, wondering if he ever did to begin with.
From my left side, there was his alarm clock and it was just four in the morning. He kissed my forehead in response causing my heart to flutter but soon I know he is not going to bed anything soon. Scooping his arms under my legs and around my waist, I rested my head against his shoulder as he lifted me, carrying me out of his room and back to the hallway to where my other men are.
I don't want to push him to talk if he is not ready so I don't fight it as he punches in the code to the playroom. He walks in and easily lays me down between Gregorio and Domenico. Both of them stir a little but they only move to intertwine themselves with my body once again as Adriano pulls the covers over me.
My eyes looked up at him, barely able to make out his silhouette and before I could get the chance to say thank you, he was already moving out the door and closing it behind him.
*******
When I woke up again, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning and Domenico was gone but Gregorio was still beside me, spooning my still naked body as he waited for me to get you.
Apparently, Nancy has some big secret plan to go out today with just the two of us and where exactly she is taking me is a mystery.
"I think Domenico is making breakfast for you downstairs if you want to head down." He said after so many minutes of us just laying in bed together.
Forcing myself to open my eyes and roll over to face him, I gave him a small smile at the sight of his tousled hair.
"Let me use the bathroom and I will be right down." I mumbled, I was still tired from last night.
"Okay," he said, leaning in to kiss me but I turned my head to avoid it.
"I need to brush my teeth first." I groaned, sitting up and moving to get out of the bed.
I didn't get that far though when he grabbed me and crushed his lips to mine, sending thousands of butterflies into my stomach. I don't think I can ever get enough of this. I know he was trying to make a point that he doesn't care but it is unfair when his mouth already tastes fresh and slightly like mint. I can't fight it though when he was so demanding, controlling my body in the most delicious ways.
Finally pulling away, he smirked and planted one final kiss on my lips before getting up and walking out the door, leaving me a panting needy mess.
I sighed, forcing myself to get and stuffing into the bathroom for the first time. I can't help but find myself surprised at every details in it. They really don't do anything halfway. The glass shower is huge and the freestanding bathtub to the right of it is even bigger. Walking over to the sink, I find a large mirror right in front of me, looking at my reflection for a moment.
I have multiple bruises around my neck, thighs and other parts of my body. I don't remember them kissing but that was not the part that caught my attention. I looked different, I just looked happy. Looking down at the counter, I find in the corner there a small compartment filled with things for me, toothbrush, hairbrushes, deodorant, tweezers, lotion and so many other things I might need. When did they get all of this?
I quickly wash my face and use the bathroom before the smell of food fills my senses. Moving out of the bathroom, I found my jumpsuit folded nicely on one of the tables in the playroom. I slipped it on before walking out of the room into the hallway. I can hear Domenico and Gregorio talking to each other from downstairs but they both stopped and smiled when they saw me.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty." Domenico said as I made my way down the stairs and over to the line of stools.
"Hi," I smiled, glancing around the kitchen for my third man but finding no one.
"Where is Adriano?" I asked after a moment and both their mouths only formed into a straight line.
"He said he needs to clear his head for a while." Domenico responded, seeming to debate whether or not to follow up on the statement.
"No one will probably hear from him for a couple of days but he will be back." He added.
What the hell happened last night? I remember from a week ago them saying he gets in moods but I don't understand what would cause him to inflict that kind of damage to his own room. My mind can't help but travel to last night when I saw him outside, when I saw him so vulnerable. He was very clearly torn about something and when he looked at me, I saw sadness in his eyes.
Maybe I could send him a message. I don't want to bother him but I will admit, last night had me a little worried. Walking around the kitchen, Domenico surprises me by pulling me in and connecting my lips to his. The kiss was slow and teasing that had me melting into his arms instantly as they wrapped around my body.
The kiss didn't last too long but it still caused my heart to race a little quicker and a small blush appeared on my face. Pulling back, he didn't let me get very far as his hands remained on me.
