~M.~

I glared at the paper in front of me. Which I had been doing for the past fifteen minutes.

I couldn't take my mind off the little minx upstairs. It had been two and a half hours since our argument and I thought about our encounter in my office.

Diana was in my office to give me the layouts of a sex trafficking ring. I planned to send my men in to retrieve the women and men captive.

Diana was an irritating woman. I might not have said that a week ago, but with Belle here I didn't appreciate anyone's flirting.

Diana couldn't know that however. She had a false sense of security and I couldn't risk losing this place. The second she had given me it I cut all ties with her.

My stomach dropped when I thought of less hurtful ways to achieve that goal. I was only ever mean and it was so much easier.

Or at least it was. This feeling of guilt has never hit me so hard before and my brain tortured me with the image of her tears.

I growled lowly before someone barged into my office. I instinctually pointed my gun at the intruder and lowered it at the sight of Leo.

"Your tense," he said in a mocking tone.

I sneered at him and glanced back down at the papers.

"She's been in her room for a while. I think you should talk to her. Belle doesn't really have anyone here. I saw the way you looked at her, I don't see why you had to go and be an ass."

Before I could rebuttal Mathew slammed my doors open.

"She's gone," he panted.

My heart stopped momentarily before I grabbed my gun.

"I put a tracker in the cats collar. Caesar, Leo, and I are going to get her."

"B-Boss you should really give her time-"

I gripped Mathews collars and yanked upwards.

"Don't tell me how to handle my woman."

Within ten minutes the three of us were in a truck and speeding well over the limit. I was livid. Never had I been so angry.

Belle has knowingly put herself in danger, just to get away from me. She still doesn't give a damn about the consequences of her actions. She doesn't know how it will affect others.

"You holding together boss man? I've never seen you stare at one thing for so long."

"-yesterday he stared at Belles ass for 22 minutes and 34 seconds. It was when she was looking for books."

We both turned simultaneously to Caesar who sat in the middle console.

"What? It was impressive."

"Don't look at her ass. It's mine." The possessiveness crawled into my mind and stayed there. It would most likely be there for the remainder of our lives.

They both scooted away from me as I shifted in this fucking small ass seat. The only thing I wanted right now is Belle. I inhaled sharply.

Fuck. I need to reel it in.

I stepped out of the car before it parked and my men scrambled to catch up. As I walked inside the building I continued forward as Leo shoved a gun in the landlords face. Daring him to stop us.

I already knew her apartment number. I even had a key made for circumstances like these. I let my eyes wonder in distaste at the setup. Mia Bella didn't deserve this place.

I gripped my key as we got to the third floor, I furrowed my brows as I felt something in front of the door. As I pushed more I heard a crash and immediately brought out my weapon. Only to see Belle doing the same.

Fuck she looked exhausted. Her eyes dropped as she set her gun down.

"Go away," She slurred and I looked down at Hershel who rubbed himself against me again.

Caesar and Leo stepped in while looking around.

"It's time to come home Belle." While I spoke she laid down face first. I glared at her figure as she ignored me.

I stomped over and hauled her over my shoulder. "Hey!" She half assed slapped at my back before my hand spanked her hard.

She squealed and stopped moving. I set my glare at the two idiots and the fucking cat.

"Get all her shit you can. Clothes, valuables, pack the animal with them."

She didn't move around as I carried her to the car. I opened the door roughly and sat before bringing her in with me. I glared at her while I forced her into a straddle.

I growled lowly as I wrapped my hands around her thighs and spread them farther. She whimpered quietly as I pushed her down where I wanted her.

We continued to stare at each other before she spoke up.

"I thought I was doing you a favor. I-I didn't mean to make you angry but you infuriate me sometimes! I like being with you... and everyone else, to actually be with people. I just didn't want you to feel obligated."

I didn't respond as Leo and Caesar entered. Leo started the car and the radio turned on.

Ironically enough, S&M blared through the speakers. A smirk made its way as I reached for my belt buckle.

All eyes snapped to my actions and Caesar spoke while I continued.

"Listen I know you both wanna fuck each other's brains out but for gods sake my eyeballs can't take it."

I met Belles wide eyes while arching my hips up to take off my belt completely. By default by cock was now pressed even tighter against her pussy. Her eyes shut tightly for a moment and I assumed the shorts she wore were ridiculously thin.

Once I had what I wanted I gripped her wrists behind her back and smiled deviously while tightening it around them.

Belles mouth dropped as she started wriggling but I had already fastened it, her back now arched into me.

"Er- Boss?"

"Don't. Just get back quick."

"Marcello you're being ridiculous."

"This is nothing bambina."

Without waiting for a response I tugged her into my chest. She grumbled before relaxing against my chest. I looked down her back and trailed my hands down her body, watching her shiver.

I pressed my lips behind her ear soundlessly, itching to get home.

Finally as we pulled up I threw her over my shoulder once again. She groaned while I brought her to my own room.

I felt her body sag tiredly and thought better of my original plan. However, I still cupped her through her shorts harshly.

I almost stumbled over myself when she released a low moan. My balls tightened violently and I growled.

Fuck! I gripped myself and rubbed my hard on while doing the same for my girl. Her breathing picked up while I climbed the steps.

"M-Marcello..."

"I've got you Bambina," my voice was quiet but even if I tried I couldn't hide the lust laced in it.

I put her on my bed and she struggled to get up without her hands.

I met her half way and knelt at the foot of her body. I prowled over her as I spread her thighs. I smirked while draping them over my own, I lifted her hips up to fit snug against my own.

I continued to lean over her until were were chest to chest, my elbows holding my weight.

"You see bella. I planned to bring you up here and lay you over my lap. I wanted to pull your drenched panties down, and leave my hand print on both asscheeks."

Her pupils were dilated and I let my eyes scale down her body centimeters from mine.

I took a deep breath to calm myself before hauling her into my lap. She panted lightly against my chest while I released her wrists. Belle didn't hesitate to wrap them around me.

"What did you plan instead?" Her lips teased my collar bone with every word.

"I have to leave my mark another way."

Not needing to explain I gripped her jaw and angled her face up. I quickly pressed my lips to her throat. She hummed as I licked down her. Her nails dug into my shoulders.

My head was spinning at her taste before I greedily started sucking on her. A sharp moan rewarded me while my hands roamed her body.

I bit at her to leave as many bruises as possible while she had no complaints, only praise.

I unconsciously ground into her, seeking the warmth being kept from me. I rutted into her, panting like a dog.

I reached all inches of her neck, leaving my marks and tracing them all with my tongue.

I finally let her lay down and hovered over her.

"No more leaving."

"No more leaving," she replied winded.

I stripped over her and fell next to her. I didn't even have to trap her in my arms. Instead, she was resting her head against my chest, out like a light.
