They looked so free, and this is the first time I have ever seen them so relaxed. I turned toward Samantha, and we girls talked amongst ourselves as we ate. We tried bringing Zoey into the conversation, but her mind seemed far away. She had been quiet since we got to Italy, even when I asked if she was okay as usual, she said yes, but I knew something was bothering her, and it wasn't just about the problem she had with Sin's brother Alexander.
I didn’t pressure her anymore; hopefully she would tell me what was wrong when she was ready. The rest of the dinner continued in this way. It had begun to be fun and lively.
After dinner, Sin and I went back to the bedroom, tired and ready to sleep. I watched as he changed into his pajamas' bottom, admiring his sculptured body.
"It has just been an hour, and I am already starting to like it, yeah," I smiled.
"It's good, if you are up to it, We could tour the city, and I can show you the fun place of Venice." He says, putting on his pajamas.
I squealed at his words. "I would love that," i replied, smiling.
Sin walked to the bed, his chest bare as he laid on it. He pulled me close to his warm body, with the duvet secured on top of our bodies.
"What time are we going to your family's place?" I asked, letting a yawn escape my lips.
"by six, which is thirty minute early. "My mom has this policy of everyone being early for dinner; that's why we always arrive an thirty minute early," he explained, his face resting at the crook of my neck.
" Sin.?"
"Am I in trouble?" he asked as he stroked my hair, which was now dried.
I raised my head to stare at him. "Why would you think that?"
"I just wanted to know. You know I hate when you call me Sin," he whined, playing with the strain of my hair. Right now, he doesn't look like a mafia leader.
I giggled at this. "Why do others call you Sin and not me?"
"I love how my name sounds on your lips, especially when you moan my name."
My face turned scarlet red. "Why do you want other people calling you Sin?"
I didn't get a reply, and for a second, i thought he had fallen asleep. " Nikolai"
"Sleep, amore, no more talking." Who was I to argue?
◇◇◇◇◇
I woke up with the sunlight almost blinding me. I wasn't feeling good. I don't recall eating anything bad yesterday; maybe last night's dinner didn't digest well because I definitely wasn't feeling good this morning. I turned around to look for Sin but found his side of the bed empty. I placed my hand on the side on which he was lying, and it felt cold.
Checking my phone clock, I realized it's almost 9:30 a.m. I can't believe I overslept; I must be really tired. sit up only to feel nauseated. I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. After five minutes of dry heaving, I got up to brush my teeth, slouching and putting my entire weight on the sink. I felt weak and didn't have the energy to stand, so I opted for a bath instead of a shower.
I stepped into the gigantic Jacuzzi and laid down, resting my back with my eyes closed. I didn't know how long I stayed there, but after I felt the water turning cold, I stepped out and quickly towelled. I got dressed and fixed the bed before walking out of the room.
I wasn't familiar with the place since it was only yesterday that I got here, but I was sure I knew where the kitchen was, and I was starving. I walked in to find Sarah and the girls chatting, sitting, and laughing away—well, Sarah, the young maid, and Samantha—but Zoey seemed to be more intense with her phone.
"Good morning," I said in general to all of them, and they responded almost together with their own greetings.
"How are you, dear?" Sarah had a motherly smile on her face when she looked at me.
"I'm good. Thank you."
"I made breakfast for you but wasn't sure when you would wake up, so I left it in the oven." She walked over to where she kept my food, taking it out and placing it in front of me on the table.
I took a seat and smiled at her in gratitude, then immediately started eating like I hadn't eaten in days.
"This is really great, Sarah." I smiled and continued to eat; it tasted divine.
"I'm glad you love it."
"Slow down, Mani; the food isn't running away. You are eating, like you didn't have dinner last night."
Samantha says, while they all look at me. As much as I would love to talk to them, the food is important. So instead I look at them from under my lashes and just grunt, going back to eating.
"I'm just starving," I say to Samantha.
"Are you okay? You kind of look pale." This time it was Zoey who spoke; she looked concerned. The same expression everyone had while staring at me
I nodded and mumbled. "I haven't been feeling well all morning, that's all. I probably ate something bad or that didn't go well with my stomach. I’m sure I will be fine before evening." I tried to ease their concern, but they looked even more worried.
"Let's call the family doctor to check you out and see what's wrong."
I finished up my food, but Sarah won't allow me to do the dishes. Even when I tried to convince her that it was okay, she still refused, so I thanked her. Samantha and Zoey were whispering among themselves, and it seemed serious, seeing how Zoey’s hands were clenched together.
I was about to ask what was wrong when Sin walked inside the kitchen as if he were looking for me and sighs when his eyes land on mine. He walks to me with a smile on his face and kisses the top of my head.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"I'm okay, still a little bit nauseous, but okay," I reassured him. I didn't want him to be worried.
"Let me call the doctor, just to be sure." Sin brought out his phone from his pocket, ready to dial and call their family doctor, but I stopped him.
"It's okay, you don't need to trouble anyone because of a minor nausea," I tried
reasoning with him.
"It's not a problem; we pay him to take care of anyone in the family; it’s his job." "Sin counters back, referring to the doctor.
"Let's do this; why don't we wait until tomorrow? If it persists, then you can call him." I bargained. Sin scanned my face, trying to see if I was really okay or not. " please..."
"Fine, but I'm calling him if you aren't okay by tomorrow," he says sternly, leaving no room for argument, and I nod in response.
"I will be in my office if you need me." Sin's lips landed on mine in a quick kiss before walking away.
I heard the cheering from the crowd; I totally forgot they were still here. They all had smiles on their faces, and Samantha was wiggling her eyebrows, making a blush creep up on her face.
"What?" I asked innocently, pretending not to know the reason for their teasing act.
"You have got him wrapped around your little finger; that man is so whipped," Samantha commented, and the rest nodded in agreement.
I blush some more. "I doubt that."
"I have known Sin since he was a baby, and I have never seen him look at any girl the way he looks at you." Sarah says, backing Samantha up.
"And how does he look at me?" I wanted to know.
"Like you are his world." Sarah walks up to me, taking my hand in hers, and says, "I'm so glad you are in Sin’s life; he has really changed and he smiles more. I know being in the mafia family comes with a lot of danger, but I hope you never leave him."
I could see how much she cared for him; she really considered Sin her son, and that touched my heart. "I won't, I promise," she smiled, then pulled me in for a hug. tapping gently on my back before pulling away.
"I need to go back upstairs; I haven’t arranged my things yet," I say to them, trying to excuse myself.
"You don't need to do that. Julianne can help you," Samantha pointed to the young girl beside her.
"No, there is no need." I quickly declined. I don't want to disturb their fun, and I also wanted to be alone. "Besides, I need to find a dress for tonight."
"I can help you if you aren't comfortable with Julianne." Samantha offered; she really is as stubborn as me.
"I can handle it myself; instead, why don't you show me around the house so that I can get familiar with things?" I said, directing my question to Julianne, which she gladly accepted.
I gave them one final nod then returned back to my room. I sat here for quite some time, arranging my clothes while looking for what to wear. Because his clothes were already arranged, he didn't really have to carry much since he had clothes here before.
After I was finally done, I went into the bathroom to wash my hands. I laid on the bed going through my phone but was interrupted by the sound of a knock on the door.
"Ma'am, ma'am." I heard a soft voice call out, and I slowly got out of bed, steading myself so I wouldn't end up fainting. I opened the door, giving her a smile.
"Call me Mani, please."
"But..." Julianne says nervously.
"I insist."
"Sure, Mani," she smiles. "I came to give you the tour; I wasn't sure if you were done yet or not."
"Oh yeah, it hasn't been long since I finished tidying up my clothes."
"Would you like the tour now?" she asked meekly.
"Sure, sure.!
Julianne held my hand, dragging me from room to room, explaining who they belonged to along with the history of the house. She showed me the library because Zoey told her I loved reading, then the pool and garden in case I wanted to relax. I was also shown the theater room, which was very big, and the sin office. It took an hour and thirty minutes to finally tour the whole house. making me hungry again.
After lunch, I remained in the room. I took my phone and texted Stephanie. I still needed to ask Sin about the Luca guy that Stephanie was hanging out with. I replied to every message from Aunt Sara and Stephanie. I decided to take a nap.
I was freshening up, getting ready for tonight’s dinner. I really wanted to explore Italy, and I plan on asking Sin to show me around tomorrow. We could go sightseeing and window shopping; it will be fun.
I continued showering until I felt a strong hand grip my wet breast. I leaned back and smiled, "Nikolai."
He ignored me and placed a kiss on my neck, then kissed my shoulder. "I have missed your body," he groaned as if he were in pain.
"Whose fault is it?" I teased him. He was the one who decided to spend his day strapped inside his office.
He rolled his eyes playfully and whispered huskily. "As much as I would love to take you right here and now, we need to get ready."
"Hmm, I think we can squeeze in some time for this." I placed my lips on his, and his mouth hungrily moved against mine. His tongue darted inside mine, exploring every inch of my mouth.
My palm curled around his hardened member, slowly massaging it. He let out a grunt against my mouth, cupping my breast. I broke away from the kiss, getting on my knees as I swirled my tongue against the tip of his cock.
He cursed under his breath, and I smirked to myself as I put his large member inside my mouth, sucking at it. He grabbed a fistful of my hair, thrusting his hips, and I gagged as his cock hit the back of my throat. My eyes watered while my teeth scraped against his member.
He let out a series of curses, and his hot cum filled my mouth. I quickly swallowed it, letting him out of my mouth, standing on my wobbling leg but being able to steady myself against his muscular body.
