“This little dickhead is our baby brother Cappie and?” Luca waited for Cappie to introduce his date. “Marlena.”
“Nice to meet you both.” I say as Cappie kissed my cheek as well. Marlena remained seated. I looked down and saw my name in elegant penmanship. I haven’t had assigned seating since grade school. I was placed in between Luca and Cappie. The lights dimmed twice and everyone then took their seats as the Director for Juvenile Diabetes starting her speech.
“Are you doing okay?” Luca leans over and asks.
“I’m a little overwhelmed.” He kisses the back of my hand and continues to hold it on my lap.
“If you didn’t just tell me, I’d never know it.” I smiled at him. The simple act of my hand being held has calmed my nerves greatly. Being self-conscious I had wandering eyes; an insider would know I was new here. I looked around at everything in my site. I noticed beautiful artwork and statues, ice sculptures, several body guards dressed in tuxedos around certain tables, certain old men sitting just as Mr. Morano is. I couldn’t help but wonder if Willa was right. Were these other men in the mafia too or was security just at certain locations because of the money in this building tonight?
Dinner was amazing. We were served a fresh greens and strawberry salad with a berry poppy seed dressing that I simply must recreate, beef wellington with baby new potatoes, and fresh asparagus. Mini chocolate triffles were served for desert and I found quickly that Cappie has a sweet tooth. Bastard stole half of mine when I was in conversation.
The guests started to get up and mingle about placing their bids on the silent auction items when the pianist and his soloist began to perform. The Way You Look Tonight started to play and Luca stood extending his hand for me. “Dance with me?”
I stood up and placed my hand in his as he curled it up under his arm leading us to the dance floor. I taught myself how to dance in school while watching Dancing with The Stars so I knew a thing or two and I thank myself now for those crazy nights because Luca held me in a perfect frame. “I’ll go slow.” He whispers into my ear as his cheek is pressed against mine. I watched the Morano’s over his shoulder as he swayed us to the melody. Vinnie, Cappie, Stephanie, and his mother were smiling as they watched us dance. Vincent and Marlena had sour looks on theirs. I tried not to let those two get me down. I had tonight. I was hoping we would have tonight, then I am leaving in the morning before Luca wakes. I had decided.
When the song was over we headed to the silent auction items and I excused myself for the ladies’ room. Exiting the stall, I come face to face with Elina.
“Playing dress up?”
“Why do the bitches always find you in the restroom?” I finish washing my hands.
“You think you are going to keep him? He’s a Morano baby. Girls like you are their whores on the side. When he has his way with you, he will come back to me. Enjoy him now, maybe we will invite you to our wedding.”
“She served us lunch at The Nine once.” I hear another voice and see Marlena standing there.
“You two are friends?” I ask. I watch as they snicker at each other. “What the fuck?” I whisper under my breath as I attempt to leave the restroom.
“Just remember, the closest you will ever get to our lifestyle will be serving us like the little ghetto girl you are. You can’t handle the family life.” Elina spat.
“Marlena, I don’t know what you have to do with this, but Elina just remember, I am the one sleeping in his bed every night.”
“Oh, I can answer that Cameron, Marlena gets Botox to make her pussy tighter.” Stephanie grabs my hand and leads me out of the restroom. “God those two just piss me off.”
“I think I had that in there, but thanks for the save.”
“I’m sure you did. I have just been waiting for the opportunity to tell someone about the Botox.”
“Is that really true?”
“Yes, Cappie told Vinnie he found the invoice on her desk when he went to study one night a few weeks back.” We both giggled like little school girls. “Ah, there’s my handsome hubby.”
“You ladies behaving?” Vinnie asked as he put his arms around Stephanie’s waist.
I shot them a smile, “Are we supposed to?”
“I love this girl already. Make sure Luca doesn’t fuck it up.” Stephanie tells her husband.
“I won’t fuck it up.” Luca walks up behind me and puts his arm around my side.
“Good, I think we should go to lunch and discuss these damn Morano boys then.” Stephanie extends the invitation. “I’ll get your cell from Luca.”
“Sounds good.” I smile as Luca pulls me back out on the dance floor. I continued to look around and concluded that the security detail was for specific men in the room. We started to dance again, this time we were joined by quite a few more couples. “Luca, I need to ask you something?”
“Anything.” I stand on my tippy toes and get my mouth close to his ear.
“Why is there security around certain tables here?” He continued to move but the relaxed Luca was instantly gone and a hardened version took over.
“Some of the people attending are very high class in the community. There is a lot of money here tonight therefore, a lot of security.”
“Makes sense. I thought your family was part of the mafia.” I say in his ear waiting for a response. “Are you, mafia?” The silence between us was deafening despite the music playing.
“You watch too many movies.” He held me as close to him as possible.
“Maybe.”
“Can I cut in?” Cappie asked his brother. “Dad wants to speak with you.” I shook my head that it was okay. Luca walked away as his brother held up his frame. “I know to be easy on you.”
“I’m not a porcelain doll, but thank you for telling me you are aware.” Cappie then pulled me into him and swung me out surprisingly with the most devilish of grins.
“Then I won’t treat you like one.” He smiled and there was that imperfect smile that he shares with Luca. The Morano brothers all look alike with the exception that Cappie was loaded with muscles where Luca and Vinnie were muscular but lean. They all had hazel eyes and dark hair. Luca and Cappie had short shaggy hair and Vinnie kept his short all over. Cappie was quite handsome in an Abercrombie model way, yet manly enough to show he was no longer a boy nor had he been for some time. It may be the five o’clock shadow that you can tell he keeps permanently.
“I appreciate that. So, I met your girlfriend in the ladies’ room. She seems, eh, nice.”
Cappie threw his head back laughing at my comment. “You don’t hold back do you?” He swung me out and gave me a spin. “And she’s not my girlfriend. I don’t have time for that kind of trouble.”
“Not at all.” I smiled. “How can you date someone like that?”
“Well Miss Matchmaker, I could say the same about you and Luca. He’s uptight and bitchy, and you, well you seem just like me.” He shot me a goofy smile.
“Touché.” Cappie spins me again.
“She’s a decent fuck.”
“Excuse me?” I thought I misheard him.
“Marlena. She’s a decent fuck. I am in law school. I need stress relief and she’s always there when I call. No relationship required. Just fucking and always at her place.”
“You sound like my friend Willa.”
“Maybe one day I will have to meet her. I am not into the romantic mushy shit. Relationships are all business deals. Marriages are contracts. I am not a believer in the fairy tale you could say.” He looked lost in thought one day. “But you never know.”
“And I would want to introduce you to her why?”
“Well one day I want to settle down and sign off on my life. When I do, I need a nice girl like you, but you, well you are a romantic, so until then I need women like Marlena.”
“And that is a bad thing? Being a romantic? Wanting the fairy tale?”
“What’s a bad thing?” Luca comes up and taps Cappie shoulder.
“She w
ill fill you in. Thanks for the dance Cameron.” Cappie walks away.
“What was that all about?” Luca holds me like I could break. Cappie’s manly hold has me yearning for Luca to hold me like that.
“Romance, Willa, Marlena, fucking.”
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Luca growled. “Sometimes I hate that dick.”
I couldn’t help but laugh, “Remember I’m 23, that is how guys my age talk.”
“Are you referring to me as old?” Luca smiled, obviously remembering what happened last time I called him an old man.
“Never.” I smile into the crook of his neck.
Luca was outbid on everything he wanted to try for and people were starting to leave. Carlina walked up to us at the bar. “Your father and I are headed home. We will send the limo back for you unless you wanted to ride with us?”
Luca kissed his mother on the cheek. “I have other plans for us, Mama.”
Carlina smiled and looked at me. “You, my dear girl, were amazing tonight. Ciao bella.”
Vincent came up and put his hand on his wife’s elbow guiding her away. “Good night Luca, Cameron.”
“Good night.” We say in unison.
“What would you say to not going back to the Manor?” Luca asked.
“What do you have in mind?” I look up at him. He already knows I will go anywhere with him.
“No parents, no Lou checking on you, just me, you, and a penthouse suite.”
“Okay.” I smile nervously.

Luca
I had the penthouse suite at my father’s hotel, Bellissimo Hotel, reserved for tonight. I was not sure if Cameron would say yes or no but I reserved it with great hope, totally pissing Cappie off that he has to stay in a regular suite with the bitch tonight. Cameron rode the elevator with her head resting against my arm. I know tonight probably wore her out so I fully intend on doing all the work if she will let me. She deserves to know how enjoyable sex can be and how incredible it is with me.
The elevator opened to the foyer of the suite and her jaw dropped. “Luca, this is beautiful.”
“Welcome to the penthouse suite.” I say as we walk into the living area.
“This looks like the suite from Pretty Woman, except the carpet is beige.”
“And you are not a prostitute.” I laugh at him. He knew the movie and made a joke. Definitely not typical Luca behavior. “I had Lou send some things here for us just in case you said yes.”
“Why would I say no?” I had no response to give her. I grab her hand and lead her to the view of the city. Cleveland is pretty at night and I knew she would appreciate it. “Is that the bridge over there?”
“Yes.” I choke up. That’s where I ran you over and changed my life.
“I live under it. Willa lives in the building almost next door.”
“It’s not a safe area.”
“It’s what I can afford.” I did not want to have this conversation any longer, my full intention is to change the subject by diverting her attention. I could see her reflection with mine in the window. I gently moved her hair over her right shoulder giving me full access to her left shoulder and back. I ran my hands lightly over her shoulders and watched as the goose bumps rose on her skin. Leaning forward I pressed my lips to the back of her neck. I continued showering feather light kisses down her spine until I reached the clasp on her dress. Dropping to my knees, I run my hands carefully down her sides until they rested on her hips. “Tell me when to stop.” Cameron remained still as a statue. “Cameron answer me.” I could feel her taking deep breaths reminding me I had to be careful of her injuries still.
She breathlessly responded, “I will.” Upon those words, I unhooked the clasp of the dress and carefully lowered the zipper. The top of Cameron’s dress slowly lowered itself, teasing me of what lie beneath. I pushed her dress over her hips and admired her figure as the satin gown pooled at her feet. Stepping out of her dress, Cameron turned towards me blowing my mind. She wore a black lace corset bustier that laced up the front with a blue satin ribbon and matching lace La Perla panties. My eyes wandered down her body. Sitting back on my heels I beckoned her closer. Without hesitation, Cameron stepped forward until the toe of her shoe was against my knees.
I reached out with my left hand and starting at her ankle moved my way up her calf taking the time to appreciate the toned muscles beneath. By the time I reached her thighs, my eyes were clouded with lust, I could feel it. Sliding my hand all the way back down at an excruciating slow pace I finally made my way to her heels. Placing her trembling hands on my shoulders, I lifted each of her feet slowly removing each glittering heel. Cameron finally responded to me by sliding her right hand over and stroking the side of my neck with her thumb. That little move of affection gave me hope for the rest of the night.
Wrapping my arms around her waist, I nuzzle my face into her, taking everything about her in. The way she smells, the way she feels pressed into me, it is nothing I have ever experienced before, the way I am intoxicated by her. Tilting my head up, Cameron’s face lights up as I watch her eyes dart back and forth in anticipation. I walk my fingers up each piece of the satin ribbon holding her corset together until I get to the top. Putting the end of the ribbon in between my fingers I sit up straight on my knees until I am completely flush with her body. “Breathe baby.”
Cameron let out the breath she was holding as I pulled the ribbon that was my entrance to ecstasy. As I went to release the remaining ribbon she placed both hands on top of mine, freezing my actions. A slight smile formed on her beautiful face. Moving my hands away, she selected the ribbon I had just held and began pulling. When she reached the bottom, and pulled the last of the satin away from her, I heard the corset hit the floor. I never noticed it fall because she put the ribbon around my neck and used it to pull me up to her kiss.
This kiss was different from the kiss we shared in the limo, it was needy, lust-driven. Cameron was telling me what she wanted and I was more than gracious to oblige. Raising myself to a standing position, I took her hands in mine and lifted them straight into the air, leaving hers erect, I ran my hands slowly down her arms, past her breasts, until finally turning my hand to run my fingers across her rib cage. Finding her lower lip trembling, I smash my lips against hers letting out a growl and getting a whimper in return. Cam dropped her hands into my hair, tugging and pulling as she kept pace with me, lick for lick, kiss for kiss. I moved to her neck and just as I licked below her ear, she bit down on my shoulder triggering me to come. She has no idea what she has just started. Lifting her up by the back of her thighs, she instinctively wrapped her legs around me as her mouth finds mine again.
I walk through the suite to the bedroom crashing us both onto the bed. “You okay?” I pull back. Cameron does not answer me, instead starts to fumble with the buttons on my shirt. After struggling with the second button, she smiles before ripping open my shirt. “Fuck baby.” I smile as she immediately goes to unbuckling my belt and pushing my pants down with her feet. Sitting up on my knees, I pull her panties off crumpling the small piece of lace into my hand before taking in her scent. I push my boxers down and watch as her eyes widen at the site of my member ready and waiting to take her.
Leaning over her, I brush a quick kiss on her lips before taking one of her hard nipples into my mouth. Cameron’s back arched as she tried not to moan. I slipped my hand down between us and rubbed lightly up and down teasing her slit. I spread her apart and pressed my thumb against her clit and again she fought back the urge to make a noise. “Cameron, do you want me?” I breathlessly ask as I bite her nipple. I hear her take in a deep breath as I take the other nipple into my mouth flicking the tight little nub with my tongue. “Do you like what I am doing to you?” I run my index finger up and down her pussy feeling her dampness. I feel her lifting her hips into my hand. I look up at her and watch intensely as I slide two fingers inside her while I rub her clit with my thumb. Cameron’s face flushes instantly, her eyes close, and her
mouth parts as I grind down on top of her using my hand to get her off. As soon as I start to feel her legs shake and her thighs tighten I stop, gaining her attention. “I want to hear you baby. Don’t hide from me.” I lean down and kiss her lips as I lightly touch her nub of nerves. She breathes into me, urging me to move faster. Again, her legs start to tremble and I know she’s close. “Let me hear it. Come for me.” She let go and it took all I had to not come again.
She ran her hands down my back and arched herself into me and I’m fucking ready. So fucking ready it hurts. I give her a second, before sinking myself deep inside her in one fluid thrust. Cameron’s eyes widen in surprise, her body stills as it adjusts to me, and I enjoy how fucking tight it feels inside her. “Are you okay?” I ask as she shakes her head. “You have to tell me Cameron.”
“Yes.” She squeaks out as she lifts her knees higher to cradle my hips between her legs plummeting me deeper into her. I begin moving slowly burying my head into her neck while she breathes hard pants into my ear. Cameron’s walls are tightening around me urging me to fuck her harder. “Cameron, look at me.” She obeyed and her eyes met mine as she came. She felt so fucking amazing as her pussy pulsed all around my dick. It did not take long after that for me to come inside her.
Cameron
Luca lay on me with his head buried in my neck. He had yet to pull out of me, something I was finding erotic on a level I am not familiar with. There were a few things he did that I had not experienced before but I wouldn’t mind experiencing again. Luca knew how to tease me, how to fuck me, and with no complaints, how to make me come. I lay there running my fingers through his hair which was now damp with sweat. I felt him kiss my neck, before he moved over to my jaw, finally settling on my lips. “Are you okay?” He asked when his eyes met mine.
“I’m perfect.” I smiled. Usually at this point in my sexual history the ex is already out and in the shower or out the door with a quick thank you, sometimes that was not even in the cards. Luca brushed his lips against mine again before sliding out of me and rolling onto his back, taking me with him so that I was now flush against his side. I lie there listening to his heart beat, moments later I was asleep.
