Taken By The Mafia Lord

54 That’s My Girl

Arianna stretched her body out on the bed like a snake coming out of its brumation. She reached for the other side of the bed and though her hand came up empty, a smile still tugged on her lips.

Last night was... How was she going to describe it? It was just amazing! A blush crept up her face when she remembered what happened between her and Elijah. That man was out of this world.

He brought her to a plane she never thought of reaching. Arianna had touched herself once and although it felt good, that had been the end of it. Moreover, there is no time for fun when you’re living with a family that made it their life decision to torment you.

For once, Arianna was grateful she did not date while in her uncle’s house. Imagine being with someone like Elijah and her cousin Claudia decides to snatch him from her? Arianna knew Claudia would surely attempt to seduce him.

Arianna knew Elijah was a chick magnet, she just couldn’t help but wonder if he would be able to escape Claudia’s wiles if such a scenario does happen?

Well, the man’s smart, she would give him credit for that. Arianna just wondered about his self-control. Anyway, he promised to be faithful as long as she belonged to him. And here she was!

Arianna was giddy with excitement as she rose from the bed. It felt like she was on cloud nine, no, high on drugs.

What was this euphoric feeling? She twirled on the floor to a tune no one was playing. It was all in her head. Was this what it felt to be in love? Like you’re stepping on soft fluffy clouds without falling to your death?

Arianna could have spent more time fooling around if she didn’t remember the fact her flight would be leaving in two hours. Yes, she would be leaving with Elijah.

.....

Elijah? That name sent butterflies in her stomach and her heart skipped a beat. Gosh, what the hell was happening to her? Arianna wondered, her hand on her chest. Something was wrong with her.

Arianna belted out a tune in the shower, a habit she does when she has a lot on her head. This time, she was not singing because she wanted to breathe – break free from the suffocation – she was just happy. Genuinely happy. It was not every day she got to have peace of mind like this.

When she was done, Arianna wore a V-neck floral dress that reached her mid-thigh. She then put on black aviator glasses and pulled on her luggage, heading downstairs only to freeze when she saw a man standing in the middle of the living room.

He had his back turned to her and even when he noticed her appearance, he didn’t react.

“Elijah?” Arianna called out just to be sure and to draw his attention as well.

The man finally turned but a sharp gasp escaped Arianna’s mouth. It was indeed Elijah but he was standing without a mask – his face was bare to her.

“H-how...?” Arianna could only stammer, unable to comprehend what was going on.

However, Arianna took a good look at Elijah’s face and was so dumbfounded that she had to take off her glasses to ensure she was seeing right.

Although the blue of his eyes was still the same, Elijah wasn’t what she expected at all. He had a slight crook in his nose as if he broke it in a fight. She must have imagined him having a strong jawline because what she saw now was a bulgy face with freckles. In one word, his appearance was ugly and appeared strange.

“Is that disappointment I see on your face?” Elijah said with a hint of laughter in his voice, “And you said you didn’t fall in love with my face ?” her expression amused him.

Arianna didn’t take her gaze off even as she walked towards him and that was when it hit her. Elijah was a master at disguise and this must be another one of his antics.

“That is not your real face, right?” She asked, unsure. It was real yet unreal.

Elijah winked at her, “What do you think?”

Arianna came towards him and felt it, a rush of relief overflowing her. She was not going to lie, she did care a bit about his appearance. Who doesn’t?

“Seriously, can you stop scaring me like that?!” She hit him on the chest, feeling his tight muscles which was a huge contrast to his plump facial look.

“Don’t worry, I’m so handsome that you would wish I hid my face with a paper bag whenever other women are around,” He was smug.

“You wish,” Arianna rolled her eyes. However, she couldn’t help but feel his nose which was quite real, “I’ve seen stuff like these in movies. Never did I thought I would touch one in real life,”

“It’s a hyper-realistic mask. It is made of silicone and covers the entire head and neck. Just like you were confused earlier, it’s so realistic that most people can’t tell when one is being worn,” Elijah explained to her.

“Oh,” Arianna nodded, looking at him thoroughly. There’s a lot of detail on the skin, there’s a vein, there’s a lot of freckles and wrinkles and individual skin pores. Elijah could have easily fooled her with this if he had worn a different eye color.

“So I’m guessing that’s your disguise for today?” She pointed out just as Elijah reached into the deep pocket of his trench coat to pull out two pairs of passports.

Arianna took one of the passports he offered her and opened it, only to glance back up at him with a questioning look, “Anita Joseph? This is fake,”

“Yes, and you’re supposedly my wife,” He flashed his passport at her with a grin.

“Aren’t you a little bit too old for me?” Arianna teased him, stepping closer.

“Age doesn’t matter, the inner beauty does,” He answered her, turning around to check his own luggage when she struck.

With great speed, Arianna reached for his neck only for Elijah to suddenly turn around and grab her hand before she could touch him.

“Nice reflexes you got there,” Arianna was out of breath. She had not expected Elijah to react on time when all she wanted was to see his real face.

“We really need to start working on your trust issues,” Elijah said, staring at her heaving chest.

“I just want to see what you look like,” was her excuse.

“And I promised that you would in due time. I never fail my promises, Aria, yet you’ve broken another of your promises and you need to be punished. Again,”

“Punish?” Her eyes grew wide and before Arianna could react, Elijah had already pushed her up against the pillar by his side.

He grabbed both of her hands, lifted them, and pinned them above her head, while his other hand traveled down to her waist and grabbed her bottom.

Arianna let out a sharp breath as he continued to feel and squeeze her backside. Then his leg parted her knees as his hand slipped into her dress. He rubbed her through her panties causing a tremor to go through her.

“Elijah...” Arianna moaned his name, her head lulling back. He knew how to work her body like the strings of a guitar.

Then his hand slid into her panties and through her opening. Arianna cried out in pleasure and Elijah was delighted to see that she was wet for him.

The air thickened and was hot, Arianna felt like she was on fire as he continued to move against her. Her legs felt like jelly and it was surprising to know she was still on her feet.

Arianna was already close to the edge when he stopped moving inside of her and her eyes flew open in alarm. Was this the punishment he was talking about?

“Elijah, please....” Arianna cried out, moving her hips to his touch to get to the edge but he hindered her move.

“Do you need it that much?” He intentionally teased her.

“Yes,” Arianna breathed unashamedly. Days ago, if someone had told her that she would be the one to beg a man to touch her, she would never believe it.

Arianna was not shy but reserved nor was she a fan of public display of affection. It all seemed superficial to her, but now, she could finally understand. When you meet the one you care about, the world could go to hell as long as you care.

“Then answer this one question,” He drew closer, till their bodies were pressed together, “Who do you belong to?” Elijah asked, his gaze darkening with desire.

Arianna mirrored his look because she was not far off either. Her eyes were hooded, with her body pulsing with need as she said, huskily, “It’s you, Elijah. I belong to no one else but you,”

“Good girl,” He said, resuming his touch and adding another finger inside of her.

Arianna’s breath quickened and her moans became louder when one of his fingers slightly penetrated her while the other rubbed circles around her clit. She didn’t just orgasm, Arianna combusted, trembling violently in his arms when he finally let go.

“That’s my girl,” Elijah said, running her hand through her hair as she slumped against him, trying to catch her breath.

“Don’t worry, very soon, we’d be far away from the problem of this world,” He murmured, a strong glint in Elijah’s eyes as he thought of their future together.
