Isabella Rose

"Why are we at a motel?" I ask him puzzled.

A minute ago he said he was driving us to the jet. And now, we are parked outside a motel.

He kills the engine of the car with a sigh, "We need to stay another night in Germany. Whilst you were asleep, I was trying to go through Felix's phone - which you inconveniently smashed - when I saw a message" .

"Well I had no choice but to smash it" I mutter, as I pull his blazer around me more closely.

I was still stuck in this dress annoyingly enough, and Germany felt cooler than it usually was.

"Well anyway there was a message to Felix, I quote saying 'Boss wants to meet you 5pm tomorrow at town hall' which is why me and you, principessa, are going to see which boss this exactly is" Valentino states.

"And the rest?" I ask confused.

"They will be returning to Italy with Felix's unconscious body. We will return by jet tomorrow night after we see if the supposed meeting could give us any clues" he replies.

"Aww soo cute! You chose to take me along" I chuckle as I slap his bicep, "damn that's some hard muscle" I say gripping it.

That doesn't last long as I feel his hand push mine away, "I chose to take you because you don't mean anything whilst they do, that way I can easily sacrifice you" he scoffs as he gets outside the car.

"Ouch" I mumble also getting out, but I wasn't surprised.

He immediately begins walking away towards the entrance of the motel, making me groan. "These heels are killing me! Can't you walk any slower?"

But did he care? No.

"Bastard" I mutter under my breath as I notice him walking more quickly.

By the time I actually make into the lobby of the motel, I'm too tired to even look around as I instantly sit down on the sofa.

I look up seeing Valentino checking his phone, as he waits for the people in front to finish their booking at the desk.

"What brings you here, princess?" I hear a man, who I didn't even realise was sitting beside me. He was eating a brownie from a bag he had in his hand.

"I heard they give out free doughnuts here, so here I am" I smile before looking away.

He looked similar to Valentino's age, probably just a bit younger. His dull blonde hair slightly fell over his forehead, whilst his blue eyes were directly on me.

He wasn't bad looking, but I would say Valentino is definitely more attractive.

Not that I would ever admit it to his face.

The man beside me chuckles, "I'm not sure about free doughnuts, but I could offer you some free brownies".

I feel my mouth water at the sight of them; I mean I was feeling quite hungry.

But something about this rough- looking man eating an innocent brownie didn't seem right to me.

"What's the catch?" I ask with my eyebrow raised.

He smirks with a glint in his eyes, "A beauty with brains. They're not very common these days"

"Of course, and it's also not very common to meet a man who offers free drugged brownies. So hand one over" I grin.

"Yeah?" He asks with some surprise in his tone.

A whole night in a room to myself, feeling ten times more free and light didn't seem like such a bad idea to me.

Especially because I had nothing else to do.

"Damn I like you" he chuckles, "here, don't eat it all in one go. The molly might be too strong for you" he says giving me the bag.

"We will see about that" I whisper under my breath, as I pull out the brownie and take a bite of it.

Now that's a damn good brownie.

He watches me continue to eat it as he also munches on his.

"Hey what's your name?" I ask, not caring about talking with my mouth full.

"Adrien" he replies amused.

"Well Adrien, I must say that these are absolutely-"

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Valentino seethes suddenly coming from nowhere.

Adrien looks up at him with a straight face, all amusement lost.

"Ugh you're such a party pooper. Seriously no one wants you here" I mutter as I take another bite.

Valentino's eyes drop down to the brownie before they quickly narrow. I don't even get the chance to take another bite as I feel him snatch it out of my hands.

"That's mine! Get your own!" I snap, as I watch him raise the brownie to his nose before smelling it.

Adrien stills beside me as we both watch his jaw clench, clearly angry.

"You stupid ragazza, this is drugged!" He sneers before turning to stare lividly at Adrien, "sei cosi morto"  (You are so dead)

"Listen man-" Adrien starts but I save him the trouble.

"It's drugged with Molly? Damn I didn't know that, thanks for telling me Val!" I exclaim sarcastically making him turn to look at me with furrowed eyebrows.

"You fucking knew yet you still ate it?" He asks bewildered.

"Duh" I mutter before returning my gaze on it, "now give it back to me".

He scoffs before fisting it, making it crumble all over the floor.

I immediately widen my eyes and mouth as I watch him unclench his fist. That was my damn brownie!

"You stupid giant! You have no-"

"Enough" he growls as his other hand wraps around my wrist pulling me up swiftly.

"I don't think you should-" Adrien starts with a somewhat concerned expression, but is immediately silenced when Valentino moves his waistcoat to the side, revealing his gun.

Adrien gulps visibly as he slowly stands up.

"Now," Valentino grits out as he moves closer to him, his hand still wrapped around my wrist, "you're going to leave this place quietly. If I ever see you again, I will not hesitate to shoot your fucking brains out".

He wipes his hand onto Adrien's jacket to clean off the brownie mess, before shoving him harshly, giving Adrien the cue to walk off quickly.

"You didn't have to be so mean" I scold him as I try to brush off his grip, but unfortunately this only makes him hold on more tightly.

"Well maybe you shouldn't have been so stupid" he scowls.

"Let go of me" I demand as I repeatedly try to remove his grip

"non mi hai lasciato scelta, principessa" he mutters, as I suddenly feel myself be lifted and thrown over his shoulder.   (You have left me no choice princess)

How dare he!

"Help! He's kidnapping me!" I shriek out as he walks down the corridor, to which he responds with "Merde".

I gasp in horror when I feel his rough hand strike my ass, not too harshly but enough for it to leave a stinging sensation.

Oh my god! He did not just do that!

"Cut it out tereso, or I will really show your beautiful ass the strength of my hand"

Despite the urge to yell at him, no words left my mouth. I could still feel stinging, and my mind felt too hazy to focus on anything else.

I feel him vibrate as he chuckles, "What? Nothing else to say?"

Trying to avoid the weird feeling stirring inside of me, I choose to not reply, only making him chuckle more.

He leads us down the corridor and stops outside a room, "Urm where's my room key?" I ask confused as he pushes open the door.

I grow annoyed when he doesn't answer me, instead placing me on the ground and giving me a slight push into the room, making his blazer which was around my shoulders fall off.

"Are you deaf? I said where's my room key?" I repeat as I watch him close the door.

He turns to look at me, "Well wifey, it's pretty unusual for a couple to not share a room, don't you think?" He asks with a smug face.

"Couple?" I question, as I watch him chuckle.

"You heard me, couple. Coppia in Italian if you wanna get specific" he taunts whilst I just stare at him with a annoyed expression.

I feel a buzzing sensation in my head, only causing me to be even more annoyed.

"Yeah no, I didn't sign up for this" I mutter as I spin around and pull the door open.

The door opens a few inches before it's slammed shut, as I feel him behind me, his front touching my back.

My breaths start to get heavier as my eyes choose to zoom in on his veiny hands, which he rested on the door before me.

"I'm afraid you have no choice, principessa" he softly whispers in my ear, making me shrudder due to its warmth on my bare neck.

My heart automatically starts to thump faster, as I feel myself become suddenly very hot.

I could feel the molly kicking in as I close my eyes.

Before I know it, warm lips touch the shell of my ear, as he removes one of his hands from the door onto the side of my waist, squeezing slightly.

"Is everything alright, principessa?" He asks, although there is not one bit of concern in his tone.

No, instead there was pure humour. He knew exactly how I was feeling and was finding amusement in it.

I wasn't that high for my senses to stop me from understanding him.

"Fuck off" I whisper, not wanting to let him have an effect on me.

"Are you sure? Because right now, you look like you want me to fuck you instead" he mutters, moving his lips across the shell of my ear.

His hand on my waist started to move towards my stomach, and I feel him pull my body completely against his front.

"Valentino" I whisper, not knowing exactly what I want.

I mean my heart knows. It knew from the very start when I first laid eyes on him those years ago.

"What Isabella? What do you want?" He whispers back.

I feel myself internally groan as I feel his lips loose contact.

Although, that doesn't last long as I feel his lips touch my skin again, this time on my neck.

Without lifting his lips, he slowly traces my skin from one side of my neck to the other, before slowly moving towards my right shoulder and back to my ear.

"You didn't answer me, Bella" he says in a raspy voice, making my mind go as hazy as fuck.

I feel myself gasp as I feel him place his hand onto my ass, giving it a squeeze, "What do you want me to do, amore? Do you want me to throw you onto the bed and devour your sweet pussy, which I know is so desperately dripping wet?"

"Fuck" I whisper, the growing sensation in my lower body expanding with the urge for attention.

He moves his lips to my left ear, "Or do you want me to rip off this alluring dress and sink my cock deep inside your throbbing pussy, pounding you with extreme ectasy" he mutters, his thick Italian accent turning me on even more.

By now I was too horny to even consider what I know my body craves.

I turn around, feeling him lift his head and stare directly into my eyes as I tilt my head up at him. I didn't miss the lust clouded in his dilated eyes.

He wanted this just as much as I did.

Without any control, I feel myself inch closer to his lips, as I watch his eyes flicker to mine.

He leans in, his lips just before mine and when I finally think he was about to kiss me, he turns his lips towards my ear.

"No, not like this. When I kiss you, I'll make sure you're completely aware and in your senses. I want you to remember the taste of my lips and how euphoric they make you feel. I want you to think about it all the time, not forget like you would now" he whispers, before pulling away completely.

I close my eyes as I try to control my erratic breathing, his words only adding to my desperation.

Fuck that was hot.

"I am in my senses" I state, ignoring how desperate I sounded. I was against the door in a mess, overcome with desire and need. He couldn't just leave me like this after making me this horny!

I watch as he shakes his head. "You're not completely, and I am not going to take advantage of you".

My fists clench as anger overtakes me, "Well why the fuck did you do that to me then if you weren't planning to fuck me?"

A small smirk makes its way on his face, increasing my anger even more. "Well I never said I don't like messing around with you. I must admit you look cute when you're angry. Ancora più caldo quando sei eccitato." He replies.  (even hotter when you're horny )

I ignore the way my heart skipped a beat at his confession, still feeling horny and angry at the same time.

Perhaps taking the drugged brownie wasn't such a good idea after all.

"You're actually an asshole! A prick! A bastard! A stupid MOTHERFUCKER!" I scream, as I straighten up and move towards the bathroom.

"Now now amore, you're hurting my feelings" he responds, faking a hurt expression.

"UGH FUCK YOUR FEELINGS!" I shout, walking straight to the bathroom and slamming the door shut at a harsh speed.

Just fucking great!
