Claimed By The Don

Ava p. o. v

I stared at the center of the water which we were miles away from and watched the breeze caress it, creating an an uproar as the waves crashed against each other.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

A small gentle smile spread on my lips, it was one of contentment and awe. Watching the waves flowing tho and fro gave me a sense of serenity.

Sighing, I slumped against the headrest of the seat bore out of my mind. And waiting anxiously for us to get home, I’ve missed everyone; my family, my friends and that consist of only Nate since Tricia was with me all this while, although we don’t get to see each other often but we did sometimes, which are when Vince wants us to.

I didn’t really gave it much thought, since we were on our honeymoon and it was supposed to be only the two of us, no friends or family but I’m glad Tricia came along.

Then again I miss school and most importantly for some reason I miss Marco more than anyone and anything, and I cannot wait to see him as if he’s a part of me. I find it weird because I’ve only been with him for like two weeks and I’m already this attached to him.

Anyway, I can’t wait to get back to my life, although Vince made our stay in Italy splendid and memorable. He took his time taking me to places like, the museum that held a lot of ancient things, historical towers and ancient palace. And then we went to the zoo on my plead, Vince was totally against it stating that there are wild animals there and I might get hurt.

But I’ve always wanted to go to a zoo, he later agreed on the condition that I will stay by his beside throughout our visit to zoo. There are many animals I’ve longed to see such as; Cheetahs, Hippos, Kangaroos, Panda and many More.

I couldn’t stay still any longer, this plane ride is taking forever. I let out a groan of boredom and furstration, I glare at Vince whose been sitting beside me and typing on his phone non-stop and receiving countless calls only to find him staring at me in amusement.

I frown at him not seeing what his amusing him, he let out a soft chuckle whilst flicking my nose. I fold arms over my chest pretending to be annoyed.

“Come here.” Vince pats his laps, I pout but hastily complied seeking his warmth. I sat on his legs straddling him, Vince pecked my pouted lips and rest my head on his toned chest.

“We’ll land in two hours, my Angel.” He muttered rubbing my back soothing, I released a content sigh and before I know it I doze off.

•

I found myself waking up slowly, my body felt heavy and my mind fuzzy. I couldn’t seem to wake up fully due to the fact that we left Italy by 3am cutting my sleep short, and now my eyelids still felt heavy and my body weak.

I flutter my eyes open slowly expecting to be met with bright light, but fortunately, everywhere was dim. I took a glance around suddenly aware of the change of surrounding, I was still sitting on Vince legs straddling him only this time we are in a moving car instead of the jet, my guess is that we’ve landed while I was still asleep.

I return my gaze to Vince, I gasped. His eyes are closed and his breathe even out, that could only mean one thing.

He’s sleeping.

Vince has never slept through any ride before, so of course It’s a shocker to see him sleeping soundly in my arms. Technically, I’m the one in his arms but that’s not the point.

Light snores escape his parted lips, his brows drawn in a slight frown but aside that he looks cute. Too cute I’m tempted to pinch his cheeks.

I pull my body up and placed a ghostly kiss on his lips, I traced between his brows down his nose with my finger tip, and cupped the side of his face slightly, trialing it down to his sharp chin. I ran my fingers across his hairless chin line up to his Slim lips that was now set on a straight line, I pulled back not wanting to wake him up.

Vince needed the rest, I haven’t seen him sleep so peacefully in the day time. He’s always busy with some work or the other; I mean, he is the leader of a Mafia so there has to be a lot of responsibility too. But my man is still human, and he needs some time off to himself.

I giggled silently when I realized I just called Vince my man, Vincenzo the most feared man I’ve ever heard of is actually my man.

“Thinking about me?” Vince raspy voice snapped me out of my thoughts, I raised my gaze to him already staring at me.

“I thought you were sleeping.” It can out more of a statement than a question.

“How can I sleep when I’m holding my life in my arms, Cara mia.” He kissed my throat earning a soft moan from me, which triggered a reaction from him. Vince grip around my waist tightens and he pulled me in for a kiss.

I wrap my arms around his neck bringing us close, craving his soft alluring lips. The car jerks to a stop before we could deepen the kiss, Vince growled angrily in distaste while I blush hiding my face in his chest, I had completely forgotten where we are.

I climbed down after Vince, before us is an unfamiliar two story building in an unfamiliar environment. The building is made of Glass and pillars, but there are few bricks at the right places.

I try not to gawk at the exterior of the building that can easily pass as a mansion, Vast, Slick and all round magnificent luxury exterior. A rose garden sat at the far left side of the house providing a typical homey and comforting aura.

Behind us is a fair size fountain which we had rode around before stopping at the front of the house, A statue; A Lion roaring perched on top. Water spurted from its mouth splitting by it’s canines, Then lay harshly into the crystal blue pool beneath causing ripples to form and wave out until they were no more.

Feeling confused I turn to Vince for answers, he was already staring at me as if waiting for me to say something.

“Where are we?” I couldn’t fight the redness from my cheeks as Vince stare intensifies.

“Home.” He scoop me up in his arms, walking to the front door.

Home?

“I thought we are staying at the other house.” I thought out loud.

“That’s the main house, my parents and siblings live there and this is our home. We’ll be staying here only Just the two of us.” He smirked smugly.

Just the two of us? And Marco? Where will he be staying. Before I could ask him just that, one of the security men that is standing closer to the door, swung the door open for us.

Vince Walk through the door and into a large living room.

“Welcome back!” various voices echo, I flinch in surprise and amazement not expecting everyone to be here to welcome us.

I was pulled in a hug by Vince mother.

“Welcome back dear,” She murmured to me which I replied a thanks. My Mom was next pulling me into a warm hug, I remain in her hug for a couple of more seconds before she release me smiling at me sweetly as if all her worrys has just disappeared.

“I’ve missed you sis.” Alex said hugging me tightly.

“Hope he wasn’t much of a douchebag.” Alex whispered in my ear causing a chuckle to escape me, I shook my head at him glad that Vince didn’t hear him. After that everyone came up to hug us, Well me precisely since Vince expression has went blank giving a stern look.

“Hope your stay with that boring brother of mine was bearable.” Kara sigh as we made our way up the stairs, it’s been an hour since we came home and our Mom’s won’t let us leave the kitchen. Feeding us to the brim, I’m so filled right now that I find it hard to breath.

Vince had somehow managed to slipped from their grasp with the excuse of having an important work to complete leaving me to face their constant need to feed me. I breathe in relief as I have been released to go freshen up.

“No, not at all. infact it was enjoyable and memorable.” I said grinning while recurring our visit to different places.

“Sure.” Kara rolled her eyes as if not convinced. “Alright let me leave to freshen up, but remember you still owes me a girls day out.”

I nod at her stepping into the room Kara had Walk me to, I was stunned. The room I was standing in right now is the description of beautiful. It was generously large, the walls are covered in black and stale grey wallpapers. The polished furniture did collaborated with the gloomy dark theme.

The bed is King size and pushed against the wall with a leather ottoman at the foot. At the opposite wall of the bed there is a large TV mounted to the wall, On my right is a sliding door leading to the balcony over looking the estate.

I slide the door open to the balcony and instantly I am hit with stormy breeze making me giggle. Still with a smile on I stand against the rail and watch the open green field that lay behind the manison, it’s huge with trees surrounding it, maybe leading to a forest.

There were several men, about thirty were combatting against each other, I couldn’t make out their faces from up here; not that I know any of them. But I could hear their grunts and slangs they threw at each other.

I sighing, I decided to go and freshen up. When I stepped out of the closet in a sleeveless blue dress that is glue to my body like a second skin, it’s has deep V-cut that exposed very little of my cleavage. The dress stops just above my knees with a split on the right leg. I had bought this dress some time ago but didn’t find it in me to actually wear it, so today I feel like wearing it and I must admit it did bring out my curves.

I found Vince sitting on the bed, his sleeves are rolled up to his elbows and the three upper button on his shirt was left undo. For a moment I felt self conscious under his fervent eyes.

He studies me from head to toe, My stomach dips while looking at him. His eyes slightly darken as the corner of his lips curl up into a sexy smirk. His eyes daring, they have this magnetic pull in them.

“Come here, Baby.” He commands. His voice deep. The air around us is buzzing with tension, and I can feel that he’s turned on.

My lips curls up into an evil smirk as an idea pops in my mind. His eyes grew darker as his gaze focus on my lips, I slowly start to move to the door wanting to get out of here as soon as possible. If not I would remain here lock up in this room with him all day.

Suddenly, I feel his hot breath tickling the back of my neck. Goosebumps erupt all over my skin when his strong arms wrap around my waist making forget how to breath.

In the next moment, I’m pushed up against the door, facing him. His eyes were animalistic.

“Where are you going all dressed up My love?”  He asks in a low deep husky voice.
