CARTER

I woke up to Lilly pressed to my chest.

I remember us both going to sleep naked but she somehow put an oversized hoodie on. I lift the blanket and smile because she wore nothing except for that hoodie.

I snuggled her into the blanket and wrapped my arms around her even tighter. The morning was cold and the way she kept pressing to my skin, I knew she felt cold. Her arm was draped over my waist and her hand rested on my abs.

I smiled thinking about what happened last night. Even though I didn't want it to happen, I just can't help it when it comes to her. For years, I never liked kissing anyone or going down between their legs, but Lilly- I'd make her cum with my tongue as many times as she needs me to. I'd kiss away her frowns and smiles every second.

An popped in my head and I lifted her arm off me and disappeared under the blanket, she adjusted herself in her sleep and I grab her legs, gently parting them so she won't wake up and kissing down the sensitive flesh that I knew made her feel something.
I gently nibble and suck, making sure to leave a hickey or two, and then made my way to her pretty little cunt. The taste of her is even more addicting than drugs.

With the tip of my tongue, I circled her clit, and her hips jerked gently. Her eyes don't open and she doesn't even move as if she's waking up.
I circle her clit again and I hear her groan in her sleep, turning her face to the other side.

Parting the lips, I pressed my lips to her clit and sucked the sensitive bud between my lips slowly. Taking my time. Her breathing pattern changes and she moans but she's sleeping. I smile and keep at it for a couple of minutes, feeling her get wet instantly.
Her lips parted as soft moans escaped them. Her hand clenched into a fist at her sides and her brows bunch.

This is turning me on.

I slide my hand down and grabbed my cock, rubbing my thumb over the tip and then sliding my hand down to the base of my cock and then up to the head. Squeezing at the base and then squeezing the head.

Her back arch when she moans and her eyes open wide. It takes her a minute to figure out what is going on until she removes the blanket and finds me with my mouth between her legs. Her brows are furrowed but her mouth is parted as she starts moaning, grabbing my shoulders. She throws her head back and moans. She lifts her hip a little and I can't help but chuckle at her adorableness that it sends a vibration to her clit and she shivers with my name "C-Carter, we- I just woke up." I grab her legs even harder, forgetting about my cock, and focus on pleasuring her all the way. She squeals when her orgasm builds and then moans when it crushes her down. She throws her head back on the pillow, catching her breath. Her clit and legs spasming make me smile even more.

I climb on her and lower myself down with my lips on her neck, trailing kisses up to her ear and nibbling her earlobe "Buon giorno, my Lilly. (Good morning, my Lilly)." Her breath shivers and she looks at me with her blue eyes that were so bright that they made my cock swell and my heart skip a beat "Voglio rovinarti e poi voglio farti mia. (I wanna ruin you and then I wanna make you mine)." She gulps as if she understood what I was saying but she doesn't understand Italian, and I like it being kept that way.

I push a strand of hair away from her face "Did you sleep well?" She doesn't answer any of my questions. Just stare into my eyes with a little bit of fear in them. Alerted.
I ask "Would you like some coffee and eggs for breakfast?" She pulls in her bottom lip and chews on it, and then nods. I peck her top lip and get off her, going to the bathroom to brush my teeth and pull on some sweatpants.

Later, I walked down the stairs and got started on eggs. Getting breakfast ready for us and making her a cup of coffee. I was in a good mood considering what happened last night. Giovanni is dead, Elijah made sure of it and then left me a text.
I was not even guilty. It's simple.

They hurt my Lilly, I will take their life.

Life for an eye. That's the way I wanna live by at this moment.

I pour the eggs onto the plate and my phone rings. I pick up the call and my eyes land on her walking down the stairs with the same hoodie but pajama under it this time.
Her eyes are concerned and alert but she sits on the island and I slide the plate in front of her and then the coffee while I spoke on the phone "Yeah, Elijah?" She takes the fork and eats a bite without taking her eyes off me. I cross around the island and stand beside her, rubbing her back and playing with her hair mindlessly.

Elijah says "We're fucked." I sigh because that's the thing he always says whenever he's about to tell me something bad that I never find bad. I find it mediocre.
I soothe the tangles out of her long hair with my fingers and smile because I liked her hair. I liked that it falls to her waist, and I like them even more when she's naked. Adds a subtle beauty to her.

She ignored my touch and just eats her breakfast. I ask "What is it?" Elijah takes a breath "Okay, don't get mad but your dad is throwing a ball in honor of you and Lilly being married." My smile drops and I scrunch her hair in my fist she whimpers. I wasn't hurting her but she was scared that I would. I kiss on the top of her head and went a little further away from her "Who's bright fucking idea was this?"

"Your fathers. And Nico's."

"Fuck Nico!"

"Calm down. Be smart about this. We're balls deep into this now, Carter, we need to tread carefully."

I take a deep fucking breath and then let it out through my lips. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Elijah said "We have the papers, buy her a diamond ring or something and train her to be a Romano. You know they will eat her alive if she shows an ounce of fear in front of them, Carter."

"I know."

"Okay, I'll call you later. Waiting for this shipment for your dad."

"Yeah, I'll see you later."

I keep my phone in my pocket and make my way to Lilly. She didn't finish her eggs but her coffee was half gone. Wrapping an arm around her stomach, I pull her to me and bury my nose on the top of her head, taking a deep breath again, letting her scent comfort me. Her fists close on the island but she remains still.
I pull her head back to she would look at me without turning around and pinned kisses all over her mouth "We're gonna buy you a diamond ring today." She swallows "Why?" I whisper on her lips "Lilly Romano wears a diamond ring." Then I push my tongue in her mouth and groan when I taste coffee on it.

I took her to Tiffany's. Diamonds are a girl's good friend or however the fuck that line goes.

We walked into the private room for some privacy while we look for rings. I didn't like any and she wasn't choosing any.

I sigh and rest my back in the comforting green velvet chair and say to the guy "I don't like any of these." He looks uncomfortable while he looks at me "Sir, if you tell us a budget, maybe we can help." I shrug "I don't have a budget. Unlimited. Show me a fucking ring that would be perfect for my wife." He nods "We did have new diamonds arriving today, let me go get them for you." He leaves us alone.

I sigh "No fucking ring is perfect." She asks "Do we need to buy a ring? I'm fine with this." My eyes go to her hand and she was wearing my thorn ring. It wasn't like I didn't like her wearing mine, I fucking loved my ring around her finger. It made me hard to the point I wanna fuck her on the diamonds in the room but every pair of eyes would be on her. Everyone would go crazy to have her because she's mine.

I gently grab her jaw and she moves her blue eyes to me. I pull her close till our foreheads touch and kiss her cheek "When you say stuff like that- I'm tempted to fuck you on this glass." I tap on the glass where all the diamond rings where kept. Her eyes glance at my hand but then looks down at her lap. I tilt my head, my lips hovering over hers "Maybe I should fuck you here. Don't care about the six cameras surrounding us. Should we give them a show? I wonder if other men watching you scream my name will touch themselves till they're spent. Shall we, my darling?" She grabs my wrists and whispers "Romano, please," with panic in her eyes. I chuckle, "Do you think I will let them watch what's mine? Lilly, if they as much as touch their cock while looking at you, I will slice their throats in a second." She gasps and I kiss that gasp away, alerted when the door opens and the guy comes back, but I don't let go of Lilly's lips till my own are satisfied.

We pull away and I pay attention to the guy as he awkwardly puts a Tiffany signature case with a ring in it. I pick it up and inspected it. Beautiful for my Lilly.

I take her hand, not caring about the protest the guy made, and pull out my ring, sliding the diamond on her finger. Lilly looked at her hand and her eyes got wide, I knew she liked it.

I loved it on her.

She looks at me with worry and I push the strand of her hair behind her ear "You like it?" She doesn't say a word but I tell the guy "We'll take it." I take out my card and throw it on the table as my eyes are locked on hers.

♡

On our drive back, I steal a glance at her twice. She kept looking at the ring with her cheeks pink. Doesn't say much at all.

I ask "You like the ring so much that you keep staring at it?" She says "I always thought that if I ever get proposed to, the ring will make me happy, it will make me feel secure. Never knew it would weigh enough that my finger would feel heavy and my life could be in danger for it." My brows bunch at the double meaning behind her words but I brush it away.
