Kara’s POV

*

A reflection on life had me quiet for more than an hour as I lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling.  I didn’t feel content, not yet. It felt as if I wasn’t doing something right though I honestly couldn’t say exactly what it was. A tap on my shoulder jarred me out of my thoughts.

“Lover boy is calling again. He just can’t get enough of you.” Adrian commented with a giggle, tossing me my phone which I discovered already had several notifications. I smiled and checked to see I had missed three calls from Stephano. He couldn’t get enough of me and that was exactly what I wanted.

She had been on my phone for quite a while, playing some songs on it to select new songs to download after deleting some heartbreak songs on her phone, I texted Stephano.

Kara:~ *Hey baby. My phone was with Adrian earlier.*

Stephano: ~ *I’m in a meeting babe. I’ll call when I’m done. ;-)*

Kara: ~ *Alright love. Try not to think of me throughout. xoxo)*

Stephano: ~ *We both know that would be hard. Got to go now love. Tell me everything that happened after I left yesterday when I get back home. I hope you’ve moved back home. Wear something nice and short. You’re sleeping in my room tonight ;-]*

Blush tainted my cheeks as I ignored Adrian who kept throwing remarks here and there. She plonked on my bed and I scowled at her. Why was she even here after saying she didn’t want to see my face and going to the guest room she uses whenever she’s around?

“Just like Diego can’t get enough of you too.” I sassed instead, cutting off her rambles. The smile was immediately wiped off Adrian’s face as she got off my bed and went to stand by my table, checking her face through the mirror. I shook my head at her odd reaction. She did this whenever I mentioned her unnamed relationship with Diego.

“You like him.”

“Oh, not again.” She groaned and made to leave my room.

“I know there’s something going on between you two.” I called just as she was opening the door. After yesterday’s revision before myself and Adrian left for our exams, Stephano finally left our dorm, getting assurance that I would be home at the mansion today.

We didn’t revise together but he made me know he was content with just watching me repeat the content in my books to him and then he’d ask questions here and there.

“There’s nothing.” Adrian heaved a sigh and sauntered back in.

“Really?”

She did an eye roll. “I just want to be happy Kara. And, what if we are even together?”

“That’s what I want...” I eyed her warily, not wanting to come off as selfish for my thoughts. “I know you like him.”

“It’s just an attraction, stolen kisses here and there...and his constant lingering stares.” She shut her eyes tightly.

“Can’t you make it official? The attraction is there, so what else?” I raised my shoulders. There was nothing wrong with her dating my twin, or dating in general though I was secretly rooting them together but Adrian always avoided this whenever I mentioned it. I’ve noticed how Diego looks at her. He could barely take his eyes off my best friend and he wasn’t even subtle about it. Ever since Lucas’s demise, they’d gotten closer to her, and even when she’d be cursing him out or reprimanding him, he’d just keep himself around her regardless.

She puffed air through her lips. “There’s nothing serious between u-”

I raised a palm. “Yes, I know. You’ve rang it in my ears so much that I know it very much now. But I can see how you both look at each other. There’s an attraction there...I’m going to keep repeating this.”

“I don’t know if I want that...” She mumbled.

Quickly, I sat up. Her expression was forlorn and I instantly knew what she was thinking. She was remembering Lucas. “Do you know...he was even about to propose?” Her voice was small. It broke me to see her like this. I picked my phone while watching her eyes water.

Kara: ~ *Honey, come around when you can. I’ll be waiting for your response ;-)*

I patted the bed and she sat on it, heaving a sigh. “He was?”

My phone pinged as she smiled.

Diego: ~ *What’s up baby sis? :-P*

Kara: ~ *Adrian...she’s not doing good right now and she needs her bickering buddy. You’re only few minutes older so drop it with the age thingy :-/*

“He told his brothers and one of them couldn’t contain the excitement so he told Daisy.” She continued, her voice now gentler. I knew Daisy. Adrian had told me about Daisy several times. She was a friend and they had met through Lucas. Daisy was dating one of Lucas’s brothers.

Diego: ~ *Just because you didn’t ask nicely, I won’t stop calling you baby sis. I’ll ask someone to cover up for me and come right away.*

Kara: ~ *Bring chocolates.*

I dropped my phone.

“He told me he loved me. Said I didn’t have to say it back but made me know I could never ever leave him and then proposed.” She laughed, her eyes twinkling with obvious happiness.

“Really?” My eyes widened. I already knew who she was referring to. “I- didn’t know.”

“That’s because I didn’t tell you. I didn’t know he was serious. It was after one of our....passionate nights. ‘Marry me’ he’d said. How was I to know he was serious?”

“Then what made you believe he was?” I furrowed my brows.

“Daisy called me. She asked if Lucas’s proposal was that shitty that I had to reject him and then promised me she already gave him beautiful proposal ideas.” The tears poured freely down her rosy cheeks. Her hands reached to trail down her blonde hair and I stared, admiring her as my own tears equally poured down my cheeks.

“I felt bad.” She laughed. It was bitter sweet. “I think I loved him. I couldn’t say...it had always been just sex for me but hell, I liked that guy so much.”

I didn’t understand her pain but I was proud of her. Of how strong she was. If anything happened to Stephano, I knew I would lose it. The fight we had recently made me know he was more important to me than I gave him credit for.

He was in love with me since childhood. He watched me grow into the woman I was now but he loved me still, through my crawling, puberty and now young adult stage. He wasn’t just possessive. He cared so much that thinking about it made my heart clench. He made sure I never got into trouble, coming to get me in high school whenever I went to a club. It meant so much to me, more than I could ever admit.

“He was a bastard.” She gritted out.

I shook my head. “What?”

“No. Oh God no, the sickness is what I should be cursing. It took my Lucas from me. Is there someone out there for me, Kara?” The tears came harder as she smiled at her own fate.

I clutched my hands over my mouth to muffle my sobs. “There’s always someone. You might not accept them and it won’t always be rosy but...there’s always someone. I believe they complete you.” I crawled towards her at the edge of the bed where she was sat. Kneeling, I hugged her from the back with my arms around her shoulders and we rocked sideways.

“There’s no one for me.”

“But there is.”

“Peter Grants laughed at me in middle grade when I confessed my love to him. Justin cheated on me in college. Then there was him...the mysterious one night stand. I left him before dawn. The last was Lucas. Even Lucas left me... I’m pathetic.” She groaned.

“Lucas didn’t leave you...he’ll always be watching from above. Peter Grants is a prick and Justin can go fuck himself for all we care.”

She hummed and heaved a sigh, as if a weight had been lifted off her chest. Then we both kept quiet, just lost in our own thoughts for till what felt like eternity.

“What’s going on?”

We were startled as the voice spoke. Adrian furiously wiped the streaks of tears from her face.

“Hey.” She stated in a hoarse tone. She left for the en-suite and Diego dropped the pack on my table. I reached for it and went back to my seat, caressing the wrap of chocolate I picked.

“Kara.” He came and gave me a peck on the forehead. “What happened?”

“She got a bit emotional.” I mumbled and tore the wrap of chocolate hungrily, moaning when it melted on my tongue.

Diego quirked up a brow. “Then why were you crying?”

“I am emotional when she is. She’s my best friend after all.” I told him truthfully.

He was in blue denim pants and button up shirt. His eyes were constantly darting towards the en-suite. “Can I go in to uh...see her?”

“In my en-suite?” I gave him a look of bewilderment.

“Fine, when she gets out. Where’s mom anyway? She’s not downstairs.”

“She went to see a friend. He sells honey.”

“Crush?” He raised a brow and smiled.

“No. Haha, not!” The thought alone was ridiculous, maybe because I’d never once considered mama having a crush on someone.

“Adrian?” He suddenly called, getting up. “I’m coming in.”

“What happened to waiting for her to come out?’ I questioned when my phone rang again. I ignored his response and picked it, seeing it was Andre.

“Yes?”

“Hey Kara. I got the details you requested and I’ve sent the required links to your mailbox.”

“Goodness Andre, I asked you to just tell me one site I can get verified it from. You shouldn’t have stressed over it.” I flailed my free hand and got out of bed, walking out of my room.

He chuckled. “I wanted to, really.”

“Thank you so much, regardless.”

“That’s nothing and of course you’re welcome.”

“Wait, are you not in the meeting with Stephano?”

“He was busy with some investors but it’s not something I’m needed for...also, that was a while ago. He left the office about twenty minutes ago.” My brows furrowed. Did Stephano lie about being in an important meeting when he wasn’t in any?

“Alright then, enjoy the rest of your day.”

“Bye” I muttered and clutched my phone tightly in my hold, strolling out of my room as I got lost in another trance while thinking of my man. The front door of the mansion opened but I was still staring into space, standing close to the stairs.

“I’m home.”

My heart rate spiked up as my eyes widened. I raced down the stairs like a ten year old eager to greet her papa. “Stephano! You’re back.”

“Yes baby. Come here.” He dropped his suitcase with a dashing smile that melted my heart.

I hurried across the living room and walked into his open arms, not caring how childish it made me look. “You’re back early. I thought you said you were in a meeting.”

I looked up at him. He was in white dress shirt, black jacket fitting his torso like a second skin and equally black pants, with black Italian shoes. His hair was neatly combed and he’d just trimmed his stubbles. He leaned in and pecked me.

“Hmm. The thought of you in one of those provoking lingerie was messing with my head so I concluded the meeting and left early.” He held me by the waist and I leaned up and pecked him again, wrapping my arms around him.

“I’m not wearing any lingerie. I’m wearing granny pants.” I whispered, feeling naughty.

“We’ll know soon. Where’s everyone?” His hands played lazily on my waist while I took off his tie and unbuttoned his jacket.

“Mama has gone to get some honey and grapes. Adrian is in my room. She’s waiting till two weeks before going to see her family.”

“Our door is open whenever she wants to visit and whenever she wants to leave. Come up and prepare my bath baby.” His eyes darkened as they zoned in on my breasts. He held my hand after picking his suitcase and hurriedly began to lead me up the stairs, towards his room.

“Give me a minute. I’ll be with you soon.” I leaned up to peck his nose and dashed towards my room. I picked my black set of matching lace bra and pantie and quickly went to change in my en-suite.

“Oh goodness, what the hell?” I screamed at the sight of Diego and Adrian literally eating each other’s face in my en-suite. Diego had her pressed against the wall, one hand hiking her dress shirt up and she was panting like crazy.

I was happy for her that she was getting some but I wasn’t about to watch her have sex with my brother right before my eyes. I almost forgot they were there a while ago. “Get out Diego. Just five minutes with her and you’re trying to get into my best friend’s pants already!”

Adrian hid her face in his shirt, pulling him closer to her as he chuckled and pecked her on the forehead.

“Get out.” I reminded him.

“Whatever.” He grumbled my way. “I’ll be waiting...so don’t take long. Okay?” His tone was softer as he held Adrian’s cheek and caressed it.

She looked up at him dreamily and licked her lower lip, nodding.

“That’s my girl.” He pecked her on the lips and began to kiss her when I tapped his back. I gasped in mortification, seeing his hand already moving upwards to a place I didn’t want to think about right now. Grumbling, he went out.

I stared at Adrian in shock though I was swooning and jubilating inwardly. “So, you and Diego ar-”

“No. Don’t assume anything.” She muttered.

She avoided my eyes and left, pulling her large sized dress shirt down her legs. “Sure.” I retorted. Those two were close to having sex in my en-suite! I huffed.

I would have to be more careful after now. I didn’t want them having any kind of intimacy in my room or on my bed; so much for ‘there’s nothing between us.’ Changing, I checked my face and combed my hair before pulling it into a messy bun.

I opened Stephano’s room. “Stephano?”

“Coming. Sit.” He called from his en-suite. I rolled my eyes at his commanding tone but made myself comfortable on his chair. When he came out, drops of water was glistening down his chiseled features. A white towel was wrapped around his waist and before I could stop myself, my eyes went to where his bulge was sitting in his nether region. I eyed the lucky towel.

An image of the first time I saw him bare crawled into my mind, how I took him in my mouth and how he praised me to no end. I swallowed and quickly looked away.

“I think I should go.”

“No, stay. You can look baby. I’m all yours.” My face became very warm all of a sudden as I avoided looking his way. I got up to leave in a hurry.

“Where are you going?” His tone was huskier, deeper. I stood rigid in my spot, hoping my legs wouldn’t fail me if I tried to move them. The sensations hit me at my core when he suddenly pressed himself against my back. He trailed his hands over my shoulder and crossed them before my chest. My nipples became erect and my eyes widened.

“I-uhm need to get something from my-”

“Why are you always running?” He huffed.

“Stephano I am not-”

“You are.” His tone held a tinge of sadness that made me huff. “Am I not desirable to you?”

“Y-you are.” I shut my eyes, my face flushing at the sudden interrogation.

“Am I not sexy enough?” he was teasing me this time around, and his tone was light. I turned around.

“You are.” The close proximity was doing things to me. Heaving a sigh, he looked away.

“Our birthdays are coming next month. What present have you prepared for me?” The side of his lips quirked up. I could sense he was avoiding the talk we’d been heavily invested in barely a minute ago.

“We’ll know when the time comes. I am not running from you and you are hot Stephano. Very hot.” I told him flat out, looking into his eyes.

“I know I am but hearing it from you makes it sound all the more pleasing.”

A part of me felt like he needed to hear me praise him. I never did, but of course women did from left right and center. I would have to do better now. I tried to pull away but he pulled me further against him, placing lazy kisses on my lips and chin and reaching for my neck. The hickey from the last time was just fading and he was going to mark me again.

“So, p-put on something a-and we’ll continue this talk.” I stuttered.

He chuckled. “Why? Does the sight of an open chest make you uncomfortable?”

I wanted to scoff and say something sarcastic about having seen so many half naked men but if he said that to me about semi naked women, I would honestly lose my shit. And I needed to be more considerate because his feelings mattered too.

“Yes it does. Seeing you half naked with this towel....it-” His expression turned to worrisome, so I quickly corrected myself, “it’s not what you think. I’m comfortable around you. It’s just...it makes me want to do things to you.” I admitted and hid my face in his chest, hugging him.

“Really?” He laughed softly.

I nodded. “Hm hmm.”

“Then do it.”

I looked up at him. We shared a look for a while, him wearing a pleading expression and me looking up at him with promises of fulfilling his desires.

I took him to his king size bed. “Lie down.”

He did as told. I placed my hand at the tip of his towel and took it off him slowly. His cock nudged out, long and hard, pointing upwards and his face became expressionless as those icy blues bored into my chocolate orbs. I eyed the luscious meat, licking my lower lip.

The head was thick, pink and shiny. He was aroused; the thought made me take a huge gulp. I took him with my two hands and licked my lips. Stephano’s girth always surprised me, and I’d found myself glancing down there once or twice whenever he was dressed, remembering the moment in my en-suite.

“We didn’t lock the door.” I breathed, content with the reaction I got from him when his lips slowly parted as I’d wrapped my two hands around him.

“I don’t care Kara. I want you so badly. In fact, we should make our traveling arrangements sooner because, I- I want us to go on that trip you spoke about...alone. I need to be alone with you, baby. I need to have you to myself, without getting interrupted because we are always getting interrupted here.” He rambled.

I was already anticipating it, being alone with him, making out and testing our limits, with his raging hormones that never hesitated in going wild while he tried but in vain to keep his hands off me. I didn’t need to think too far to know what would happen— amazing, hot sex — but I loved this man, and maybe it was time I took responsibility for my feelings.

“And you’re telling me that now Stephano? In the middle of this?” I whined. I wanted him equally as bad as he did me. I wanted him under my mercy, panting my name. I didn’t want him to always be the one taking the initiative. I wanted to seduce him. “We’ll go wherever you want but let’s focus on the present.” I leaned in and crawled over him, slanting my lips across his, licking and kissing and sucking so much that it took both our breaths away.

I tried to go on my knees after I’d trailed kisses down to his abdomen but he shook his head. He climbed further into the bed from the bed foot where he’d previously laid and I knelt on it, feeling its softness.

“Here, kneel here so you won’t stress your delicate knee.” He massaged my kneecap and my head swelled at his thoughtfulness while he spread his towel on the bedspread.

Then he propped up three soft but huge pillows behind him and rested his back on them, looking down at my face between his parted legs with heavily lustful eyes. I leaned in and took him in my hands, slowly massaging.

“You’re so hard.”

I tightened my hold a bit and licked my lips at the responsiveness, hearing him hiss.

“Am I hurting you?”

His eyes glazed over as he occasionally clenched his jaws. “Do it gently baby. Kiss the tip first. It loves the attention but try not to squeeze.” He told me huskily.

I did as he commanded and watched his face contort. The sight was pleasing to me. Taking the pinkish head into my mouth, I swirled my tongue over the tip twice and he released a breathy moan.

I kissed it and licked the head again with my eyes trained solely on him, enjoying the expression on his face. I wanted to hold it like a microphone, but I couldn’t hold Stephano’s cock in one hand. My hand was far too small or rather, he was too big.

Then I took him in my mouth slowly and bobbed my head. He was big. I could barely take a few inches in before pulling back a bit when my eyes blurred at how wide he was stretching my mouth. His hand came to hold my head so I could take more of him.

I spread his legs properly and got in-between, working my hands tenderly over his balls and occasionally squeezing while my head was still bobbing up and down on him. His waist jerked repeatedly as he pleasured himself with my mouth and occasionally released groans of pleasure.

He held my hair and moved me on him, saying things like, ‘fuck yeah, oh yes, Kara, Kara, ungh, Kara…that’s it, take me…’

I could feel myself dripping on my newly changed underwear and the effect of the moment made me moisten even more as he spewed words off his lips, panting my name and calling me his beauty and the love of his life. My fingers softly grazed over the sensitive skin below him. I felt powerful. Knowing this mighty man was always going to come back into my arms and end up under me. With me pleasuring him and making him do my bidding. The feeling was out of this world.

When I realized his breath was beginning to come in pants, I increased my pace.

“Kara...I- I’m cumming....” He howled and his eyes shut very tight but I stayed in my kneeling position, staring at him in incredulity as he began to flood my mouth. I moaned at the salty, tangy taste, feeling oddly comforted that I could ever be the one to see him this way, completely at my brutal mercy and his eyes flew open, as if in alarm.

At the last minute, he pulled out of me and spewed his seed on his towel I was kneeling on as he sat up, his eyes going back to being shut tight. Some of his release splattered on my knee and I wiped it with my index finger, dipping it into my mouth.

I was still staring at his cock in astonishment as it jiggled when he adjusted his legs and finally opened his eyes. I could still taste the saltiness from him on my tongue.

“I won’t come into your mouth until the first time I spill my seed deep into your womb.” His voice was a hundred percent serious and deep. Husky. I crawled beside him and threw a leg over his thighs. My sex was tingling as I dripped below.

“I already tasted your come twice Stephano.” I purred lazily.

“Oh, I wasn’t careful enough then. Thank you baby, your performance was awesome. Your hand alone would’ve even manage to totally drive me out of control this way too.”

I remembered one time he pleasured himself in his room, calling my name.

“Don’t pleasure yourself to the thought of me anymore Stephano. Let’s do this more instead of enduring the empty feeling you’re left with after jerking off.” I got on my knees once again and put my legs over him, kissing him as I straddled his thighs.

“I love it when you’re bossy.” He kissed the tip of my nose and then my lips, reaching up to fondle one breast. “I’ll take care of this.” He pointed at the soaked towel I’d knelt on earlier.

He placed me beside him and picked the towel. Dumping it in his laundry basket, he went into the bathroom and I heard water running again. I clenched my legs and let out a breathy sigh at the thought of what we just did.

When Stephano came back again, a blue towel was wrapped around his waist. “I’ve spoken to my mom about some new changes that’ll be made in the house soon. A new set of house helps will be working for us from now on.”

“What-”

“Your mother is mine as well as yours. She’ll check around the barns when she feels like it but Natalia isn’t allowed to work here anymore. She’s basically mi famiglia now. My family.” He went towards his walk-in wardrobe and came out dressed in white shirt and grey sweatpants.

“Oh. I understand.”

“Good. I already made the traveling arrangements I mentioned earlier with Andre today at work and work will be hectic this week due to me doing part of next week’s work. I love you.”

I looked up at the random confession. “I love you.” I replied in one breath and smiled at him. His gaze was intense again.

“Let’s go downstairs for dinner. Also, you need to change your soaked pantie-“ he paused, then chuckled. “Better still, I’ll have my dessert before we go downstairs for dinner.” I began shaking my head so I would go and change before Adrian and Diego noticed I’d been gone for too long and begin to wonder where I was, since they didn’t know Stephano was back from work but Stephano had other ideas. He was already trailing towards me.

“W-what are you doing?”

“Carrying you.” He carried me on his shoulder in one swift moment and patted my butt when I asked him to put me down.

“Stephano, put me down right now!” I giggled enthusiastically, feeling blood rush to my nether region in anticipation of what was to come.

“Nope. It’s time for a wet, pleasurable, moaning dessert.” He growled and walked towards his en-suite.

I tapped his back while yelling out empty threats but he tapped my butt twice before placing me back down on my feet, making thrill run through me when he backed me up against the wall. “Keep quiet babe. Nothing will stop me from having my dessert.”

I giggled and allowed him lead me in.
