Taken By The Mafia Lord

“We shouldn’t have done that,” Natalie said, feeling guilty. She could imagine what Arianna thought of her now. The both of them weren’t even close enough to each other and now this? She sighed.

“We should have been patient,” Eric said thoughtfully. A few walks into the privacy of their room wouldn’t have caused them any harm – except lose the magic in that moment – and avoid the awkwardness. How was he going to handle himself around Arianna knowing what she saw? He had not exactly been subtle.

“Yes, we shouldn’t,” Natalie concurred before looking at Eric and their eyes connected. It was just a spark, but the room became heated immediately and this time there was no one to walk in on them.

All of it happened in a twinkle of an eye, one moment, they were staring at each other in fascination and the next their lips were on top of one another, sucking each other’s faces. And next, their clothes were flying in diverse directions of the room till they were naked as the day they were born. And finally, they were creating biology.

Natalie’s moans reverberated across the room as Eric didn’t go easy on her. While they say good food was the way to a man’s heart, he knew a perfect orgasm was the way to a woman’s heart. Give a woman good sex and she would never leave you.

Daniel’s comment unsettled Eric and made him realize just how lucky he was to have Natalie by his side and how much he loved her. And from now, he was not going to hold back in showing Natalie how much he loved her anymore. Eric didn’t want to be among those that don’t realize the significance of what they have until they lose it.

It was enough, she was satiated, was the thought in Natalie’s mind as Eric released inside of her one last time. Well, she hoped that it was the last time because she could not go another round. It was simply too much or she was going to die from excess sex. Was it possible to die from too much sex? Even she as a doctor didn’t have the answer because her brain was turned off the instant Eric buried his face in between her legs.

Eric finally pulled out of her and Natalie was relieved greatly when he showed no signs of going again. He simply laid down on her body, making sure his weight didn’t press down on her too much. And to be honest, he outdid himself this time and needed the rest. Unfortunately, Natalie had other plans.

.....

Even as amazingly unforgettable as the sex had been, Natalie knew something was wrong and she had a feeling that it was linked to that meeting today. So she asked him,

“What happened?”

Eric didn’t need a prophet to know that she was asking about what transpired in the meeting with the Luciano family.

“Honestly....” Eric pushed himself off her body and laid down on the side, bringing the cover on the both of them till it covered their nakedness leaving only their chest upwards bare. “I have no idea.” He said.

There was a slight furrow on Natalie’s face as she asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Eric didn’t answer immediately instead he began to draw patterns on her stomach and her body shivered at his touch.

“Eric...” She placed his hand on top of his palm to stop him from distracting her. She asked him in a serious voice, “What is it?”

“They want Elijah,”

“What?”

“You know the rules, Natalie....” He gulped,” A life for a life, at least that’s what I think they’re trying to do under the facade of their trial. ”

Natalie sat up at once, his hand slipping off her stomach, “You’re not going to hand Elijah over to them, are you?”

“Of course, not!” Eric said with a defiant look in his eyes, “It’s only going to happen over my dead body....” He paused silently before he said, “That kid, Marcel...”

Natalie’s attention was piqued at once and she wanted to know what Eric had to say about the son of Daniel, whom her daughter foolishly fell in love with.

“What about Marcel?”

“He’s different,” Eric said, looking Natalie in the eyes because this was meant for her, “The boy is not like his father and you should know that I have discerning eyes.”

Natalie sighed, shaking her head, “Eric, I thought we talked -”

“I think he looks like his mother, your friend, Penelope, at least aside from his eyes that he took clearly from his father. But I think it’s unfair having an opinion about the boy your daughter seriously has feelings for without getting to know him first. ”

Natalie gulped, especially when Penelope’s name was called. She still has guilt gnawing at her chest whenever she remembers her friend’s sacrifice in helping her escape. What has she done for her in return? Nothing. Instead, she’s antagonistic towards her son being together with her own daughter.

However, this was not just about Penelope, it was about Daniel as well and that was enough reason for her to harden her heart once more.

“How does that help Elijah?” She changed the conversation and Eric’s face fell knowing that the conversation was over.

“We didn’t come to a conclusion today,” Eric answered her nonetheless and went ahead to explain to her, “I think there’s an internal crisis in the organization. Marcel is against his father and his idea of taking Elijah. His thinking is much more progressive and I think that if he wins, Elijah might be saved.”

“That’s nice,” Natalie was able to let out the breath she was holding in. There was hope, that was all that happened – and surprisingly from Marcel. She pushed the name to the back of her mind.

“That’s good then.” She said,

“But that’s not all,” Eric said grimly and her breath caught in her throat.

“What is it?” Natalie licked her lips unconsciously, feeling nervous all of a sudden. She knew something was up, the ominous atmosphere was proof enough.

“Daniel says hi,”
