Miss Taken

by Cleo Scornavacca

  We walk downstairs and Dominick opens the lobby doors to reveal our mode of transportation down the coast.

  “Holy Shit!” My shock obvious.

  Dominick laughs deep from his belly due to my reaction of seeing the car. He opens the passenger side door for me.

  “Get in, baby.” Shaking his head, laughing. “Angel, don’t just stand there the Italian Riviera is waiting for us.”

  I start to laugh as I climb into the Black Maserati Convertible Dominick rented.

  It’s another beautiful morning in Naples. We leave the historical center and head to Naples Bay. Naples Bay is always breathtaking with Mount Vesuvius in the backdrop. I take out my camera and snap some shots of the looming volcano.

  “Rain, if you need to get more photos we can stay here overnight, and head to Pompeii in the morning.” He’s being so considerate.

  “Dominick, it doesn’t work like that for me. I take the shots as they hit me. Staying here longer won’t produce more pictures. I have to be in the moment. Anyway, I’ll have the opportunity to take more when we drive back up here for the ferry we need to take to Capri. Thank you, though, for thinking of me.” I jump up and kiss him chastely on his cheek.

  “Rain, I was going to save this as a surprise, but we aren’t coming back this way to go to Capri.” He looks nervous.

  “Then how are we going to get there? We have to take the ferry, Dominick. Capri is an island.”

  “Baby, I know it’s an island. We’re going by yacht.” A smirk formed on his lips. “I chartered a yacht for the night. We’re going to Capri in style.

  I squealed and I wrapped my arms around his neck to kiss him long and hard.

  “So, it’s all good, yeah?” He asked.

  “Yeah, it’s all good, Mr. Kane.”

  We get back in the car and drive down the coast. We stop in Agerola, with its Swiss-style villas. The fishermen’s village of Cetara, and Conca de Marini, to visit the lemon orchards. Praiano, Positano, and of course Pompeii.

  We are having the best time and all is good. Dominick is smiling and laughing, no pressure. I would have gotten him here sooner if I knew it would have made a difference. Italy is a magical place. It makes your stress dissolve and Dominick Kane is living proof of that.

  The night before we head to Sardinia to take the yacht to Capri, Dominick plans an evening in Palermo. We’re at staying at the NH Palermo. It’s overlooking the Gulf of Palermo, on the seafront near the botanical gardens. Once we settle in our room and rest awhile, we leave to take in the sites that the town has to offer. We go shopping and to the Cathedral, and then back to the room to get ready for dinner.

  Dominick reserved at table at The Villa Igiea Palermo Hotel restaurant. It’s amazing. We’re standing on the terrace when I start thinking that in just two days we’ll be in Capri, at my family’s home. I can’t wait to take Dominick around the island that I love so much, but I’m also excited for him to meet Mema and Antonio.

  Dominick holds me while we watch the sunset over the Gulf of Palermo.

  “Baby, what are you thinking about?” He asks.

  “I was just thinking how amazing it would be to spend the holidays here alone with you. Just the two of us.”

  He smiles against my hair. “That would be perfect, but do you want your family to kill me? I promised to get you home, at least in time for Christmas.”

  “I know, but I really don’t want to leave.”

  “Don’t pout, Rain.” I rolled my eyes, but he didn’t see it.

  “I’ll make a deal with you. When the Christmas holiday is over we will fly right back here for New Years. Maybe we can even bring Anna and Joseph. What do you say?”

  I spin around and jump into his arms sending him off balance. “Thank you, Dominick. I would love that. I promise you won’t regret coming back here for the New Year.”

  He laughs at my enthusiasm. “The only thing I regret is not kidnapping you sooner.”

  “Why is that?”

  “Because the sooner I would have taken you the sooner you would have become mine.”

  “You didn’t even know it was me.” I remind him looking into his striking green eyes.

  His mouth is whispering against mine. “Maybe not, but I’m sure as hell glad it’s you now, baby.”

  My body reacts to his words. I arch my back and push my body into his, letting him know that I want him now. I can’t wait until we get back to our room. We’re alone on the terrace, so it feels private enough and erotic all at the same time. Dominick’s hands slip down to take my breast as his tongue works its way into my mouth. It’s so hot and I become very wet, very quickly. I hope this is how it will always be for us.

  His erection rest against my belly. I moan and he lowers one hand slipping it under my dress. He’s still kissing me. I moan again, because I’m craving him. He touches me and pushes two fingers inside. I slide up and down trying to get more of them. Then Dominick pulls his hand out. The loss of contact is making me insane. He takes my hand to guide me into a dark corner. He starts kissing me again. Then I unbuckle his pants and free him from his confining clothes. He moans into my mouth. He raises my skirt to my waist and putting his hands on my ass, he lifts me onto him and presses my back against the wall. He pushes deeper into me harder and harder. I’m soaking wet, but need and want more of him. I need to come.

  “Rain, baby, I love the way you take all of me.” He growls.

  Dominick is very powerful sexually. I know he requires control in this aspect of our relationship. I am only too happy to give that to him. I love what he makes my body do and I love his reaction to it.

  I begin to come hard. Dominick is moving deep inside me and he is hardening even further from the feel of my orgasm over him. I realize as I am coming down from my climax, there is no condom. Dominick finds his release and doesn’t pull out. It feels so good. He’s pulsing hard and long. It’s so warm and comforting that I know in is moment, Dominick marking me. I don’t care and he doesn’t seemed concerned about it either. Our sex is always hot and being outside makes it even hotter. I’ve never done this before, so I’m glad it was with him.

  After our appetizing romp, and eventually our dinner, we head back to our hotel. Our night of sex doesn’t end on the terrace. Dominick, I find more ways to enjoy the evening. Once sated we lay in each other’s arms, kissing each other gently until we fall asleep.

  After leaving Palermo our next destination is the island of Sardinia. Upon arriving we head to the marina, where the yacht Dominick chartered awaits us. We walk down to where the yacht is docked. Sitting there on the water was an amazing ship 38 meters long. It has three floors, but the best part of the yacht is her name, Rosa Selvatica. I look at Dominick and smile. He understands and kisses my forehead. Rose Selvatica means Wild Rose.

  The Captain shows us around. He explains that the ship sleeps ten and has a crew of eight. It has all the amenities, a gym, a movie theater, a Jacuzzi, a sauna, elegant staterooms, and a tanning deck. The master stateroom offers a private terrace and dining area away from other guests. It doesn’t really matter on this trip, since it’s only Dominick and me who are sailing.

  Dominick has some business to conduct in Sardinia, so I stay aboard to get some much needed rest. When I awake there’s one white rose on the pillow next to me with a note.

  Angel,

  Dinner is at 8. Meet me on the observation deck at seven.

  I have a surprise for you.

  D xo

  I dress for dinner. I have a beautifully understated black cocktail dress, it’s very tight and very short. Pairing black satin high-heeled shoes with a peek-a-boo toe completes the look. I carried my pashmina with me, because there’s a definite chill in the air after the sun goes down. I reach the observation deck and find Dominick sipping a cocktail. He’s dressed in a tuxedo, but instead of a bow tie he has on a thin black silk tie and no cummerbund. He turns and looks at me. He smiles the most genuine smile. I feel it touch my soul. He walks over to me and kis
ses me lightly on the cheek. Then hands me a glass of Prosecco.

  “You look so beautiful, Rain.” His mouth whispers against my jaw, where he places another kiss.

  “Thank you, baby. You look very handsome in your tuxedo.”

  He gazes at me. “You called me baby again.”

  “Dominick … I … I” Shit where is he going with this.

  “Shhhh, Rain.” He puts his index finger over my lips. “I just want you to know I like it.” He smiles a shy smile.

  We stand on the deck looking over the water. The yacht will be departing at midnight. It’s short a trip to Capri, so in the morning when we wake up, we will be on the shores of Capri. Everything is perfect I can’t wait for Dominick to come to the house, so I could take care him.

  “What are you thinking about, Rain? He asks.

  “I was thinking about how fun it’s going to be in Capri. I’ll be able to cook for you and take you to all my favorite places. You know, ‘My Capri’, not the tourist sites, but the way the locals live.”

  He takes my drink and places it with his on the table. He’s holding me, looking at me more intensely than I’d ever seen before.

  “Angel, no one has ever wanted to take care of me, but Anna or Joseph. Not my mother, nor my father. You really are mine and I must really be yours.” He pauses. “I bought something for you.”

  Dominick takes a black velvet box from the inner pocket of his tuxedo jacket and hands it to me. I open it carefully. Inside the long box is a bracelet. The bracelet has Pandora-like charms on it. There’s a mixture of roses covered in diamonds, diamond oval knots, and some X’s and O’s scattered around, all done in white gold.

  “Dominick, thank you. It’s so beautiful. Would you put it on for me?” Tears fill my eyes.

  “You’re most welcome, baby. This bracelet is about us. The diamonds are precious and they need care, like you. The rose is a reflection of the one you have on your back and the ones I always try to give you in each bouquet. The knots are how complicated and twisted our relationship was at the start, but also how strong it will remain. I need you to know how serious I take … us.

  I place my hands on the sides of his face. “Thank you, Dominick. This is so special. I love being with you, and I take what we have very seriously too. I need for you to know that.”

  He stops and smiles. Then he whispers. “Dinner can wait, come and be with me.”

  We return to our stateroom. Dominick removes his jacket and tie. I slip my hands around his neck and begin to kiss him. I’m very needy tonight, so I reach back and unzip my dress. Then he slides it off of me, exposing my silk bra and panties. Dominick helps me to step out of the dress, which lays in a pile on the floor. He has his hands in my hair while he’s kissing me. I use this moment to unbutton his shirt and slip it down his back to the floor, leaving it with my dress. Then I let my hands travel down from his chest to his abs as I unbuckle his pants. I feel how hard he is. I pull his erection out of his underwear and slide my body down his to take him in my mouth. I want him to feel my mouth on him. I want him to see how much I desire him. I want him to watch me tasting his cock. I’m so turned on by my own actions. Sliding my mouth up and down. He groans, then clasps me by my shoulders and stands me up so he could take my mouth again. “Rain, baby, I love how you take me, but if I didn’t stop you I would’ve come. I don’t want to come there. I need to come in here.” His hand reaches inside my wet panties so he can finger my sweet spot.

  He walks backwards, taking me with him. We lie down on the mattress and I straddle him. He gives me the condom. I tear open the wrapper and slide it over him. Then I position myself taking him deep inside me. I slide up and down. I’m breathing heavy. This position is so good. I am stroking him with wet pussy. “Rain, arch your back baby.” As I follow his command Dominick sits up and holds me while taking one of my breasts in his mouth. He bites down hard and I feel it in my clit. I’m about to climax quickly from the attention Dominick is giving to my body. Once I come undone, he flips me over onto my back and guides himself in again. I’m so swollen and very sensitive but this only makes me want him more.

  “I’m going to take you deep, baby. Pull your legs up and hold them still.” Dominick is buried fully inside me. I’m getting ready to come again. He isn’t just fucking me, he is watching it. I’ve never seen him do that before. He’s really moving and I notice the intensity in his jaw. He’s about to come and so am I. After we climax and when we both return to the present moment, Dominick’s holding me. He has wrapped himself around me, hanging on to me so tight and won’t let go. We lay there for what seems like forever. We’re so close. Neither of us want this moment to end. Then Dominick kisses my cheek.

  “How about we stay in bed and eat dinner here? I don’t want to share you with anyone tonight.” He suggest.

  “I would love that too.” I smile at him and give him a hug that I don’t release him from all that quickly.

  The next morning after a night of amazing sex, great food and sharing the beautiful views of Sardinia with Dominick, I wake up to a familiar sight. The shoreline of Capri. I’m like a kid in a candy store. I can’t wait to see Mema and Antonio, go to Canfora and take some more photos for the show.

  I love the house we have here. It’s rustic and has old world charm with very modern amenities. My father just had the kitchen redone and added an outside living space with a real wood-burning fireplace. Our pool is made with all natural stone and elements from the area. Our yard is on the mountainous cliffs of Capri looking down at the beautiful sea below. Mema and Antonio are our family here in Capri. They aren’t blood relatives but they are my family in the truest sense of the word. Dominick’s father Vincent knew them as well. When I informed Mema of my relationship with Dominick and our trip to visit, she was very pleased. When I inquired if she had known that Vincent had a son, she said she did but she also informed me that there relationship was strained and the subject was not brought up out of respect for Mr. Kane. Apparently it was very upsetting for him to speak about Dominick.

  This made me wonder. If he was so upset, why didn’t he try harder with his son. Mr. Kane was a very good man. Very warm and very loving to our family. Why wasn’t this love extended to his son? This is a subject that I do want to speak with Dominick about but not on this trip. We are having too good of a time to let the past ruin it for us.

  Once we arrived at the house, Mema comes running out with Antonio calmly following her as he usually does. I hugged both of them and introduced them to Dominick.

  “Dominick, this is Antonio and Mema. They live here at the house. They’ve taken care of our family and been part of my life since I was a little girl.”

  Dominick extends his hand to each of them. “It’s so good to finally meet both of you. Rain has told me so much about her life here and about both of you that I’m finally glad to be here with her.” He’s very gracious to them.

  “Good to meet you, Dominick, and welcome.” Antonio’s very friendly.

  “Dominick we are so glad you are here with our Rain. Welcome, welcome!” She yanks him in for a huge embrace only Mema could get away with.

  “Mema! Don’t scare him on the very first day.” I smile at her and she slaps me with the dishrag she’s holding in her hand.

  “What, Rain? I’m just being friendly.”

  Antonio speaks before I could. “Let’s get you both inside and settled.

  Dominick and I insist on bringing the luggage upstairs. We are staying in my bedroom. My room has three large shuttered windows that lead out to a terrace overlooking the water. No one else will be staying on this floor. Mema and Antonio’s suite is on the first floor. This made my time with Dominick here very private and secluded. He’s standing in one of the doors that leads to the balcony.

  “It’s really beautiful here, Rain. It must helped you when you were young.”

  “You mean to lessen the anxiety of confinement? Yes, that it did.”

  He remains silent. I try to help him re
lax.

  “Dominick, my parents weren’t abusive. They didn’t beat me or withhold food. They were just the opposite. They tended to my every need. Yet, they were controlled by their fears. Especially, Cella, my mom. I never hate to come here. I love Capri. I have great memories that I intend to share with you. I never look at Capri as scary. I have no regrets.

  He walks over to me and straight into my arms. He holds me tight, tighter than ever before.

  “Hey, what’s wrong with you?” I was confused.

  “I really am seeing you in a different light. What your life was like. What makes you the woman you are today. Rain, I …”

  I stop him. “I’m okay. Please don’t worry. I’m so grateful to you for this trip. Thank you so much.” I smile wide to allay his new fears.

  I look into his eye as his lips brush mine. The kiss grows deeper and more intense. It didn’t grow with passion or lust, but with need. A need for me to let Dominick know things were fine. I am fine. Especially now that he is part of my life.

  All of a sudden his phone starts to buzz. It’s one of his clients.

  “Baby, I’m sorry, but I really have to take this call.”

  “No worries, I’ll be down stairs. Come find me when you’re done.”

  I leave him to his work and head to the kitchen, where I find Mema cooking. Pink lentil stew, one of my favorites. I also smell homemade bread baking in the oven. This is just what I need. I pour myself some espresso and sit at the center island. The kitchen turned out beautiful. My dad will be very pleased.

  “Rain, my beautiful girl, you certainly look happy and healthy.” Mema states.

  I smile and she continues. “Dominick is quite the handsome man. I want you to be careful. Don’t jump too fast.”
