The Don's Unexpected Princess.

In which a butt cheek is caressed.

I' ve seen Marco angry . I have seen Marco annoyed . I have seen Marco irritated and impatient but this was different . The man who sat at the end of the rectangular hard wood table was not angry or annoyed.

He was furious . Red hot blazing madness .

Alessio still had me within his hold . His grip had loosened once he saw Marco' s face . Like he was giving me whatever mercy he could because Marco certainly wasn' t going to show me any .

He fixed his gaze on me , like a predator intimidating it's prey . " All of you - " Marco said dangerously low to the other men in the room. " Leave ! " He ordered and I swallowed anxiously .

Marco hadn' t blinked since I walked in her , fury spewing from his eyes . Dino , Vanni and Allesio still hadn' t moved an inch . They heard him but it was like they feared to move even though they were instructed to .

But then , Marco frowned , " On second thought , stay . " Maybe having the rest of them here would make me feel better but they all seemed to be more shocked by that which did nothing to calm me down . This was worse . If these men were looking like this then I was surely dead meat !

" A lesson needs to be taught to you tonight . Maybe then you' ll learn to behave like a captive and not to take advantage of my mercy and leniency . " He spat out , his large frame now perched over the the hard wood table . He looked like a serpent waiting to strike .

" I - I - look , I didn' t mean to . I w - was going to my room but then - " I didn' t get to finish my sentence .

" Shut up ! " He shouted loudly, his grey eyes glaring at me murderously . " You' ll see tonight what it' s like messing with the people you' re with . " He didn't explain further .

He glanced to the mute audience . " She is my gift to you tonight . " He said proudly to his men . My blood felt like it had gone icy cold at what he said . What ? He couldn' t possibly be serious !

Instinctively , my legs moved back but my back hit the door . " No . No ! You have no right ! "

" You are in my territory ! I have every f*****g right . " His fist bang the table and I jumped at the sound . " Men , go ahead . Have your way . "

" But , Capo , she' s a princess . We cannot . " Alessio intervened but he didn 't sound scared like I expect him to be . He spoke from a place of value .

" I know damn well who she is . Now , Vanni , go ahead . I give you first choice . " Vanni didn' t hesitate .

Vannis ' tall , bulky figure got to his feet and was standing in front of me . He hauled me over his shoulder and took a few steps toward the massive table . The back of my body hit the table and let out a grunt at the pain .

Marco was very close to my left . I turned to him feeling Vannis ' finger delve into the hem of my pants . " Marco , please . Don' t . " I screamed out to this disgusting man for help . His face was as expressionless as stone .

" Marco , please ! It was a mistake . " I was crying at this point . I felt the hot tears roll down my cheeks .

Vanni was about to tug of my pants and I shut my eyes , preparing myself for the inevitable .

" Vanni , stop . Move away from her . " Just as his words had been spoke , Vannis ' hands immediately ceased and moved away from me .

I instantly curled into a ball feeling like that would protect me from whatever he was going to do next . I was crying , body shakingly crying .

" Now leave , all of you . " I heard the six pairs of footsteps retreat and finally the door closed .

" You - " he had to be addressing me. I was the only one in here . " Sit up . " He said in command and I did .

" You are a vile human being ! " I screamed at him but he was unphased . He just stood in front of me , his hands across his chest .

" Did you see what could have happened ? Do you understand now the possibility of events you could face at the mere command of mine ? Think about this - " he pointed to the table I was still sitting on , " before you do anything like this again . Stay out of my way , princess . "

" M - Marco , I didn 't - I had no intention of - " I said to offer an explanation maybe then he would feel like s**t over his actions but this was Marco .

" Get out . " He said , leaning closer to me to intimidate me further .

Nothing would make me feel better than being far away from this horrible man ! I scoffed loudly before hopping of of the table and rushing to the door .

" Stop . " Marco said , causing me to halt . " You' re all dressed . Dance for me , princess . " His voice was low , almost a heavy whisper .

I turned sharply to him, not believing my ears . He wanted me to dance for him . Did he feel himself in a high position since he saved me from a crime he had commanded .

I turned sharply and Marco was standing so close to me that my knuckles brushed against his shirt .

"Dance , Princess , I believe you' re good at that . I deserve a personal show . " He said seriously .

I could very easily argue with him and fight with the man but the sooner I got in with it , the quicker I could be out of here and away from this man's presence .

" There isn' t any music .v" I pointed out .

He raised a brow . " A true dancer wouldn 't need music to dance . "

I sighed and then took a step back . " Let me take away your gun and tell you a true mafia leader wouldn't need one . " I shot back but proceeded to arrange my hair to perform the act and get it over with .

" And I wouldn' t . " He said cockily and I believed him . Those were the last of words said between us for the next ten minutes I would guess .

I danced just as he asked , swayed my hips slowly , imagining a song I would usually dance to and blocking Marco out as much as I could but his presence was too dominating to be ignored . My chest would rise to add to the move, my rear would sway too . I didn' t look at Marco while I danced. In fact, I looked anywhere but him right now . The man was vile .

I had my back faced to him and I knew I was almost done with my dance . Just one more sway of my hips and I would be complete .

But when I did sway , I felt Marco right behind me . I gasped and instantly froze at my rear brush up against him. He was never standing that close to me until now .

Marco grasped my arms and slowly turned me around to face him . He looked very different than the Marco I was used to seeing . His eyes were no longer angry but just darker . . darker in an intense way . It was like the look men gave me at Brazzies but with the volume cranked up so high that I became utterly self conscious . His face was soft , his mouth completely relaxed .

I swallowed when he pressed me against his chest and nearly screamed when the palm of his hand , warm and smooth , delved into the back of my elasticated pants and cupped a butt cheek . As if his hot skin on mine didn' t make me feel a certain way , he pressed my further into him and when I felt his bulge pressed against the mound between my legs , I gasp willing myself to move away from him but my body stayed put right where it was .

" Marco . " It was a whisper . I didn' t even know what I wanted or why I had said his name in the first place really but it was like I felt the burning need to say it .

He was looking at me , his deep grey eyes focussed on my face . " You really are a temptress , princess . I saw those men at Brazies . Lust thirsty and willing to do anything just to get a taste of you . " He said with , what sounded like , admiration . " But none could have you . " His hand carresed my cheek as he said that and I shivered . " But you have the body that could cause a king to relinquish his valuable possessions and a Don to have mercy . " His lips were mere inches away from mine . A hair span away .

But then I snapped out of it . This man shouldn' t be making me feel this way. He held me to no regard or moral standard. He was about to cause me harm not even half an hour ago and here he was. Hand on my ass cheek , praising my body and about to kiss me .

I moved away from him then reached my hand back to catch his wrist and remove his hand from the back of my pants . Thankfully , he did not make a move closer to me when I stepped back .

" I would prefer that you never ever touch me like that ever again . " He didn't take me seriously because only let out a scoff .

I didn't wait for him to say anything else . I just need to be away from him and his dominating presence . Hurriedly , I moved swiftly to the door , opening it so I could get out and then shutting it behind me.I all but ran up the stairs and into my room . I was out of breath by the time I had shut the room door .

Marco shouldn' t have touched me but Marco always does what he shouldn't do . I hated that something deep inside me stirred when he touched me . I hated myself for not having pushed him away the moment he got a hold of me .

But as I thought about , slumping to the floor to process the events of this evening , maybe it was more that I was innocent so the touch of any man who approached me in such a way would have caused me to present the same reaction . Yes ! That was it . It had to be . I could not accept it entertain a different narrative .

With a heavy sigh , I rose back up and on to my feet and headed to the bathroom . A steaming shower and some sleep will do me good . I could use the silk pajama set too that was new .

I got to the shower and quickly rinsed off after lathering some body wash onto my skin . The tiredness kicked in and I decided to get out and get changed so I could sneak under the covers .

And when I did finally make it to bed, my entired body relaxed . It was as if I' d fall asleep in a second . As my eyes were starting to close as the exhaustion of the day caught up to me , I head the door in the room next to mine open and then close loudly . I turned and tried to find a comfortable spot again but it was like all the nerves in my body had miraculously become hyper aware of the maddening man in the next room that was saperated from mine by just a door .
