Lorenzo
I led the way into the bedroom and moved straight to the wardrobe, swinging the door open dramatically with a huge smile on my face.
“All of this is for you amore mio, I hope you like it.” I said as I placed my hand on the small of her back and nudged her inside.
She wriggled away from my touch and walked forward, looking around the room with her brows pulled tightly together.
“It’s a little excessive boss.” she said and I flinched.
“No, not boss, you won’t be calling me that here.” I closed in on her, towering over her even in her heels, and ran my knuckle down the side of her face.
Her gaze darkened, but she didn’t pull away. I wasn’t sure if she was beginning to cave to my affection and finally put everything behind us, or if she was just trying to put on a front to hide how much she hated what I’d done. Either way, she was here, and that was all that mattered for now.
“SorryLorenzo,” she said my name like it was a dirty word, and something about the way she looked as she spoke had me fighting off an instant erection. I wanted to hate-fuck my woman so badly, but not today. No, she didn’t deserve me in that way after how she had been behaving recently.
“It’s too much though, I don’t need new clothes, and I don’t want them in here.”
She turned away from me, flicking her red curls over her shoulder, and headed out of the wardrobe and through my bedroom towards the hall.
“If you want me to stay, I want my own room.” she demanded as she walked ahead of me.
I laughed, “Oh amore mio, don’t be silly, I have made enough adaptions for you already. Come, let me show you the rest.” I met her stride as we reached the staircase and I offered her my arm. She declined with a scathing glance and stormed down the stairs.
I puffed my cheeks and blew out the air slowly. I could handle her attitude, but that didn’t mean I particularly liked it.
“I won’t sleep in the same bed as you,” she said coldly, “I don’t want you to touch me ever again.”Hmm, definitely not getting over it yet then.
I smiled at her, “I’ll put up with this for now, but eventually this will stop, I do hope that its by choice and not force.”
Her mouth fell open but before she could speak, I walked past her towards the gym.
“Come.” I commanded.
I didn’t have to look back to see how she had taken that, the louder than usual clatter of her heels against the marbled floor of the corridor made it crystal clear that she hadn’t appreciated it, but she had listened, so that was something.
“I have added suitable equipment for you in here, you will train with me or alone, no new trainer, I won’t have you repeating your previous actions.” I gave her a stern look and she swallowed hard. I watched as she fidgeted with her fingers, I’d upset her by mentioning him, but he had deserved it, and one day she would understand that.
“Are we done?” she finally said.
“No, I still need to show you the kitchen, your office, and the garage.” I replied.
“Can’t you just tell me, I’d like to just go and rest.” She didn’t look tired, she just looked sad, I didn’t like that look on her.
“Fine,” I gave in, “The kitchen is now fully stocked with foods that you enjoy, the staff will make you whatever you ask for, whenever you asked for it. You will now share a workspace with Cooper, you will not be returning to that office block in the city, and I expect the two of you to behave yourselves and be professional while you work. Your car has been moved into the garage, and a new Audi should be here for you on Friday, when it arrives, we can sell your car.”
“Great. Can I go and lay down now please?” she said, not even looking at me. ‘
What had happened to the feisty woman who walked through the door half an hour ago? I wanted her to fall in line, but did I want to risk drowning that fire inside of her. Compliance is what I desire, but the fire is fun to play with.
“Go.” I said simply. “I have work to do anyway.”
She nodded and headed back to the staircase. I watched her ascend the stairs, but as she reached the landing she turned left, away from my,our, room. And towards Adonis’ room.
“Where the fuck do you think you are going?” I bellowed up to her.
She appeared back at the top of the stairs a moment later, “Guest bedroom. I told you I will not be sharing that room with you, I meant it. If you won’t give me a bedroom, I’ll just take one.”
