Chapter TWENTY-TWO ~ Felicia
I stretch my eyes andblink several times. I’m relaxed and calm. But I can’t believe the sight before me. I’m pleasantly surprised to find his naked body intertwined in my white bed sheet. His broad chest out on display for me to take in with his tattooed arm. The tattoo sleeve is long but light shades of the morning light visible upon his flesh. He lays close to me and I can feel his warmth. Snuggling me like a warm blanket and I’m blissfully happy.
Yesterday was amazing with Dante and something I never thought would happen. No matter how much, we still fought the temptation until we couldn’t anymore. Yesterday we’d given in to the desire and it was everything I knew it could be. Rough, passionate, and intoxicating.
And now he’s here.
He’s still by my side. It’s not like the first time where I ended up alone with so many questions and no one to answer them. Cold with no lover in sight, but only a single note. This time, it was different. He was different, but I don’t know why.
I happily smile and carefully get out of bed. Not wanting to wake his peaceful slumber after our night of passion. My alarm never sounded like it usually does and I’m surprised I’m up for an early morning start. Humming as I make my way towards the shower and ready to start the day.
I’m feeling refreshed from our sexual passion and it has given my mind a jumpstart. Feeling giddy as I hop into the shower and the warm water beads fall down my skin. Taking away the sweat, dry juices and smell from our sexual activity. Trying to keep as quiet as I can and feeling in a hurry. I clean myself quickly and hum a sweet tune. Joyfully getting ready and in a blissful mood.
I stepped out of the shower and the chilly morning air greeted me. Making my nipples perky and leaving goosebumps on my skin. My body hair rises as I quickly dry myself and apply a light touch of makeup. Grabbing my clothing for the day when a loud knocking echoes throughout the store. It’s coming from the front and the knocking grows persistent.
I threw on a long skirt and top to match. The constant pounding grows louder as I leave the bathroom to find Dante awake and I frown towards him. He’s getting his pants on with uncertainty and concern written all over his face.
“Don’t worry, just go back to sleep.” I frowned with frustration at the sound.
Dante shook his head in disagreement and ran a hand through his hair. “I’ll be right behind you.”
I smiled slightly and hurried towards the front door. Wandering quickly through the floral shop only to see a face I never want to see ever again. Her hair is red, just like mine, with shiny blue eyes and a rough look to her. Her clothing probably has seen better days and her makeup overdone. She beat her hand against the front door and I knew I had to answer it to make it stop. I regretfully pulled the front door open and stared into my drug addict mother’s face.
“Someone finally answered the goddamn door...” Felicia huffed as she blew a straggly strand of hair from her mouth and looked at me with annoyance. “Aren’t you happy to see your mother?”
I stared at her in disbelief that she was even here. I should’ve known this day would come eventually, and she’d come to find me. But I did not know why and I sure as hell didn’t want to. No good ever came from her, and I dreaded to know why she graced me with her unwanted presence.
“Why are you here?” I asked in a harsh tone and stepped outside. Unwilling to let her inside and afraid of what she might do. My business was my pride and joy. I didn’t need her coming inside just to ruin it all.
“Well, that’s no way to greet your mother...” Felicia mumbled as she stepped forward and opened her arms. “Give your mother a hug, Cassie.”
I heard movement behind me and I knew Dante had followed me outside. I didn’t need to turn around to know he was there. I could feel his eyes burn into my backside and question what was going on. I didn’t bother to accept her fake greeting and knew it was all an act for Dante. All I could do was stare at her with displeasure and cross my arms in front of me.
“Fine, if you won’t accept my greeting then you could at least give your mother some cash.” Felicia mumbled as she tried to smile at me, but it fell flat. She’s high as a kite and anyone could see that. She can’t even stand up straight or form a clear thought. One of them is showing up at my doorstep after years of not seeing her. Felicia looks up at the store’s sign and stretches her arms wide. “It looks like you can afford it.”
Her comment stings because even after all this time, she didn’t come to just see me. It was all about money and probably for her next drug of choice. But deep down I want to help her out because I’ve always starved for attention from my mother. I’ve always just wanted that bond, but in reality, I know I could never have it. She’s too far gone and the money would go straight to her addiction.
“No, mom, I will not give you any money.” I said firmly as I turned my back to her and headed for the door.
“I gave birth to you, for christ’s sake!” Felicia screamed at me and her rage filled the morning air.
I halted on the spot, spun around and pointed my finger angrily at her. “And that doesn’t give you right to everything I’ve built for myself when you abandoned me! Now leave and never come back!”
My mother’s face beamed bright red, and she didn’t back down. Instead, she stepped forward and held her ground. She struck my cheek with her hand and the pain burns on the spot. I touched my cheek in shock by her actions and was ready to retaliate. But Dante interferes, and he’s shirtless.
His powerful energy stepped between us and held my crazy mother by the arms. Her arms flying around in front of her with anger and her grunts filling the air. Trying to fight back, but she was no match for his strength and he pushes her away. Leaving me a complete mess as I watch my drug absorbed mother’s eyes burn with rage right at me.
Tears stream down my face and my cheek still burns where she struck me. The memory of it is all far too familiar from the many beatings she gave me as a child. Unable to fight back and helpless to her power.
Well, that’s no more and I wouldn’t have her coming back in my life only to use me and never truly love me. But deep inside, it still hurts, and it pains me to see my mother hate me.
And all I ever wanted was for her to love me.
Dante returned with open arms and took me inside his safe embrace. “She’s gone, and she’s never coming back.”
“I don’t know what I ever did to deserve this.” I breathed through tears as he squeezed me tight and didn’t let go. “All I ever wanted was for her to love me and she never could.”
I sobbed in his arms as my body trembled and longed for my mother’s love. All I ever wanted was for her to take care of me and just want me, but she never could. Her drugs have always come first and she would do anything to get them. Even if that meant using her own daughter, just like she did today. I’m tired of being used and discarded. I’m tired of being played and unwanted.
“I’m such an idiot.” I huffed with anger at myself and pushed away from Dante. I knew it was her, and I still opened the door. I once again let her into my life just for her to stomp all over it like I’m a piece of garbage. I shouldn’t have given her the time of day, and I’m frustrated with myself. “I’m so pathetic. What the hell is wrong with me?”
My feet took flight. I paced back and forth on the pavement. Running my hands down my face with anger.
Suddenly, Dante grabbed my wrists and pressed me up firmly against the wall. He pinned my hands over my head and his eyes burned into mine. “Don’t you dare do this to yourself. You’re the strongest and most beautiful person I know. Your mother never deserved you and I’ll be damned if you let her take that away from you.”
His gaze glared deep into my soul, and I melted into him. My breath came out rapidly as it fanned his face and the air sizzled. Sparking to life the passion between us and all I want to do is get lost in him. Forgetting this ever happened and letting him consume me once again.
I searched his eyes, and they fell upon his delicious lips. They looked absolutely amazing and I couldn’t wait to taste them. I brought my lips towards his in a passionate frenzy and he kissed me back with passionate desire.
He devoured me right there in front of my store and I couldn’t get enough of him. His tongue lapping over mine and filling me with a hungry passion. Sucking, nibbling and caressing. Unable to get enough of each other and never wanting it to stop.
He loosened his grip on my wrists and ran his hands down my body. Making me shiver on the spot and begging for more. I moaned into his mouth and he answered me by lifting me up. My legs wrap around his toned torso, and he carries me effortlessly back inside my shop. Kissing me with red, passionate desire the entire way as he lets the door fall close behind us and continues his journey straight for the kitchen.
He sets me back on my feet and breaks the kiss. Leaving me longing for more as he lifts my leg and places my foot on a chair. Standing before him with so much desire, it aches and I want a release.
“Please, take me, Dante.” I breathed with lust.
He doesn’t respond, but traces his hands up my bare legs. Making me shiver with want and I grab hold of his hair. He kisses my lips sweetly, my neck and lowers himself. Lifting my long skirt as he goes and hiding his face underneath. Feeling his hot breath caress my skin, and I sigh with pleasure. Letting my head fall back with the realization that he’s going down on me and eating my juicy pussy.
“I’m going to show you how much you're wanted.” Dante groaned as I felt his breath caress my pussy lips and he pulled my thong aside.
He starts by flicking his tongue over my clit. Repeating the process until I moan only for him. His fingertips massaging my flesh on my plump thighs and blowing his hot breath upon my pussy. Licking his tongue over my lips and tasting my sweet juices all ready for him.
My body burns with wild desire and comes alive at his touch. His mouth covers my pussy and his tongue plunges deep inside. I grab on tight to his hair and push him in deeper. Taking me to new heights and never wanting to come back down. Rocking my hips to my rhythm as his tongue works inside of me and his fingertips find my clit. Sending me closer to the edge as they work wonders and circle at a fast pace. Working just as fast as his skilled tongue and my pussy walls clench down on him. But he continues his magic and dives deeper still. In and out with a fast rhythm that drives me crazy. Moaning, thrusting, and begging. Wanting more, but knowing my release wasn’t far away. Needing it more than anything and needing him to satisfy me. Releasing me from all the pain and making me forget. Letting me see only him and how much he wants me.
“Oh, god, I’m going to come!” I cried out with desire as I saw stars before my eyes and my entire world exploded.
My climax takes over me as I cry out his name and rock my hips until I can’t any longer. Until I’m completely satisfied and spent. Dante fixed my skirt and gazed up at me. He licked his fingers and licked his lips. His face was satisfied and content. His eyes are full of lust for me and only me.
He trails kisses up my arm as he stands and cups my face in his powerful hands. “I won’t let anyone hurt you, Cassie. Not even me.”
