LILLY

I heard it all. Whatever he said. From the moment he denied he loved me to the moment he said he'd kill me.

He raises his brow, waiting for me to answer and I take my time to come up with a believable lie. What am I saying? I can't lie to him. The guy is too smart to see through all my lies in a matter of seconds.

He says, "I won't get mad. Just tell me how much did you hear about it." I bite my bottom lip after I say, "All of it." He sighs and unwraps his arms and stalks closer but I take a step back.

I'm afraid and I'm hurt.

He stops, looks at me up and down, and then his eyes go to my wrist which was deep purple this morning. I hide my hand behind me.
I carefully construct a question, "What was he talking about?"

"Which part?"

"The gun. Why haven't you picked a gun in six years?" He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and then looks at me, "It's a bad habit you got there, darling. Eavesdropping is a sin, isn't it?"
I gulp, "Yes, but- killing is a sin too!" He smirks and shakes his hand, reaching his hand out to pat the side of my head and leans in to peck my lips, "I got you burritos. Let's eat before they get cold." He's about to turn around but I grab his arm with both hands. He stops and looks down at his arm and then at me. I ask, "Why are you here with me for another night?" He raises his brow, "Is that a trick question?"

I quietly stare at him, knowing that I should be afraid that he just told this person that he will kill me if I tell anyone anything. I swallow and build the courage, "Why haven't you touched a gun in six years?" His jaw clenches, I knew this was a bad question and I'm stupid enough to still ask. His eyes go down to my upper arm, at the little scar of the bullet, and then he looks into my eyes. He leans, kisses my brow, and whispers, "Eat with me." He walks to the paper bag, takes out four burritos, and passes two to me.

I barely eat one and he's on number two, washing it down with soda from the mini-fridge.

He wipes his mouth with the napkin and sits back while he watches me eat. I don't dare meet his eyes but I ask, "Is this our last night?" He just hums in answer.

"Would you mind if I take you somewhere?"

I look up, mentally preparing myself for his no. But, he smiles and nods gently.

CARTER

I don't know why we were at the place where she works. I let her drive for a change. The car ride is quiet and she keeps nibbling on her bottom lip. I can tell she's nervous, she's hesitant, she's overthinking everything.

Lilly was easy to read and that's what I liked about her. She wore her expressions on her face and her heart on her sleeve unlike me, who was taught to keep my expressions neutral no matter what. Now it's an instinct to appear like a bitch to people.

She parks the car and turns off the engine. She looks at me as if I will ask her something but I stay quiet and she knows I won't speak.

She gets out of the car and I do too.
She holds me by my fingers and pulls me into the hospital. She had her keycard with her and she takes me to the elevator, she pushes the button of the last floor and she stays by my side as we go up slowly.
I was alerted the whole time if I would run into Josh or not. If I see him, I know I won't hold back punches anymore.

The doors slide open and she pulls me out we walk up the stairs and stand in front of the door to the roof. She wipes her keycard and the door opens.

We walk out, the door closes behind us. It's cold that Lilly gently shivers and I hold her cold hand in mine. She looks up with an appreciative smile and drags me to the edge of the roof, to the railing. It was the view of the city. The hospital was a tall building compared to the ones in my view.

She says, "I know you're used to better kinds of views from expensive places but I don't think any of those views ever hold a warm memory in your head. Right?" I turn my head to her, and she smiles and her fingers are on her cross necklace, "My mother died in this hospital. This was the first hospital that responded when they called 911. And this necklace," she looks down at the silver shiny cross, "was hers. Charlie gave it to me. He told me about the hospital and he told me how she died. When I grew up, I took a job here because there was this thing that Charlie said that- when my mom died, my dad came to the rooftop. He screamed at the world, he screamed till he cried and then he cried till he stopped crying. It was his way of working out the death of his wife and his way to control the stress of taking care of his daughter alone. This is the place where he decided that he will leave me."

I raise my brow, "I don't see that in any way that that could be a warm memory." She chuckles with her head back and my heart jumps for a second. Then she says, "When I started working here, I would come here so angry at my father that why did he leave me. I was so damn angry that I couldn't cope anymore. But then, I realized that my anger will never bring him back. So, right on the spot, we're standing, I decided to forgive him. I forgave him for all the things he did. I forgave him for leaving me. And I forgave him for never seeing me." There was something to her words that made me say, "Why are we here, Lilly?" She looks at me, smiles again, and says, "I want you to forgive the people that made you so damn angry, Carter." He holds my arm, "You have so much anger inside you that it scares everyone away."

She pulls my arm, wanting me to turn myself to face her and I do, I face her. Her hand is pressed to my chest, on my stupid heart, when she says "So much anger for someone who has so much gentleness to offer- you need to stop using this to store your anger, and you need to start using this to love. It's not hard, I swear."

She makes me feel funny inside. She makes me feel as if I'm being closed to a wall but at the same time she makes me feel as if I have the power to break those walls. I spent six fucking years building that wall around my heart and she's shattering them with a touch of her delicate finger.

She says, "And I want us to say goodbye here and then I want you to come and get me when you're free from your mafia life." I tilt my head at her words, "You want to come with me?" She looks down at her hands in nervousness, "Spending a week with you has made me feel less lonely. I enjoyed it. I was not crying, I wasn't sad, and I wasn't angry. It was just me. Calm. With you. Happy." I press my forehead on hers and it takes her a second to understand. She slowly looks at me with her blue eyes and softly smiles at me.

Her smiles, laughs, chuckles- I want them all to be directed at me forever.
Forever.

I gently press my lips on hers and she's fast in grabbing my face, letting me kiss her softly and gently. Her lips part and I almost smile when I push in my tongue. Her arms wrap around my neck as she pulls me down to deepen the kiss and I moan when I taste honey on her tongue from the honey candy she ate on the way here.

God- Lilly was perfect in every fucking way.

I grab her hips and pinned her on the railing. I loved the little gasps she made when she inhaled deeply, heaving from my kisses. I loved when she pushes her fingers int my hair as we kiss. I love the way she tries to press herself to me whenever I'm close. This woman will be the death of me one day. I think in some twisted way, she was my heart.

Lilly Hastings is my heart.

I hook my fingers in the belt loops of her jeans and push my knee between her legs, pressing on her cunt. She gasps and I take her bottom lip between my teeth, gently biting and pulling, her back arch and I'm losing control over my sanity. I open the button of her jeans and turn her around to the view. I push her jeans and her panties down and push my hand between her thigh, trailing them up until I touch her drenched cunt and I'm rubbing her clit with my fingers. Her back arches and she gasps. Then she says, "C-Carter, I'm afraid of heights. Please-" I realized that I had her almost bent over the railing I smile. I pull her back, turn her to me and press my lips to hers again, working my fingers quicker and impatiently.

She moans and buries her face in my neck, gasping as she builds and then whimpers when she comes crashing down. I don't wait for another second when I pull out my cock from my jeans and I'm so fucking glad I have a condom. So fucking glad I decided to grab one before we left the hotel room because I was not going to say goodbye without fucking like animals for the last time.

I roll the condom down my cock and I pushed inside her drenched entrance. She took every inch with a gasp and she took it all beautifully.
I'm slow at first, it takes a second to get used to my thickness which is usually two or three thrusts.
And when I know she's stretched enough by me, I pull out to my tip and then I thrust in till my base. Then I thrust hard and rough. Her head rolls back with a moan, eyes closed as she keeps moaning and whispering my name. I feel her tighten around me and I smile in satisfaction when she cums. But I keep going, I keep going until she's sensitive and until I'm near my release. I grab the back of her neck and make her press her forehead on mine when I growl, "No goodbyes, Lilly. No fucking goodbyes." I kiss her cheek and then I shoot my load inside the condom with one last thrust. Her body shivers as if she felt it and she kissed me softly. I'm still inside her.

I catch my breath and let her catch hers. She's red from her ears to her neck. Her cheeks are this unique shade of red that makes me smile and kiss the blushes on their cheeks. Then I feel her moving her hips with my cock in her. She's gentle and slow as if she enjoys this. She always does this after round one for a second or two until I hold her down and thrust again inside her.

Two thrusts and she's cumming for the second time. I look down at her cum slipping down my condom.

There was something so damn satisfying watching Lilly come undone in my arms, and something even more satisfying knowing that I am the one who gets to fuck her again and again.

♡

I'm near the car while Lilly is inside. She wanted to use the bathroom before we drive. I'm on the phone with Elijah and I tell him that I'm bringing Lilly with me. He huffs, "What the fuck are you doing, man?" I'm honest with him, "I don't fucking know but I'm doing it." He doesn't speak for a whole second but then he says, "You will not believe what I found today." I let him continue, "Rossi has a child."

Suddenly reality doesn't make sense anymore.

"Rossi has a child?" I ask. Elijah says, "Yes. Found a birth certificate today of a child. It's old but the first name is wiped from the records. Only the last name is there. But the first name starts with the letter L."

"Letter L?"

"The child was a boy with the letter L and the last name was Castello."

"Where is the boy?"

"Don't know. He's not dead because there's no certificate and I can't track anyone who would have a hunch about the boy. It's like he was born and then he was wiped from the earth. But there's a rumor I hear an hour ago about the boy."

"What rumor?"

"He's taking over Rossi's mafia as the heir. I don't know if it's true but I feel like it is. The evidence is clear. We all know Rossi isn't smart enough to hide and plan all this super spy shit on his own. So, I have a theory."

I feel a hand on my shoulder and I turn around to her. She smiles and holds up donuts and coffee for us. I smile back and give her the car keys. I kiss her forehead before letting her go and sit in the car with the heater on. It was already freezing outside.

I sigh, "I'm gonna reach home in 30 minutes. Meet me at my office and we can talk calmly." Elijah says, "Okay. I'm ordering food from your card."

"Why my card?"

"Because the food is tastier that way. And I'm ordering Chinese food. You want something?"

"Order some for me and Lilly too."

His eye roll was loud in my ear when I say, "Stop rolling your eyes before I stick them to the back of your head." He hisses, "Bitch, I will stab you with a butter knife." I chuckle, "I'll meet you at home."

I place the phone back in my pocket and I'm sitting in the passenger seat and almost laugh when there's chocolate all over her lips. I don't miss this opportunity to lean and kiss her lips, taste the chocolate, and sit back in my seat, taking the other donut from her hand and the coffee. She asks, "You okay?" I nod, "I'm fine, darling. You know where to drive?" She shakes her head. I put the location on my phone and let her see it. Suddenly, her body language changes, "Do we have to go there?" I press my hand on her cheek, trying to comfort her when I say, "That place is the only thing where we'll be safe for a little while, darling."

"Can't we go to my place?"

I shake my head, "Absolutely fucking not. They know where you live, Lilly. I'm not risking it." She shakes her head, "I don't want to go there." I huff, I get out of the car, striding to the other side of the car but when I open door, I'm locked out.

She locked me out.

Her eyes are wide and her lips are pursed. She did this out of nervousness. I bang the window, and she rolls the window down just enough that we can hear each other. I'm mad but at the same time, I want to laugh at her.

"Lilly, I will break the door if you don't unlock it right now!" I growl. She shakes her head, "First stop being angry." I raise my brow and take a deep breath, creating this facade that I am calm. It takes a second to believe and that's all I needed. A second.

As soon as she unlocks the doors, I open it. She shrieks and tries to close the door but I'm stronger and faster. I open the door wide and she curves herself to one side, eyes alert on me. There's no terror in them but slight playfulness. I grab her thighs and made her sit to face me on the car seat, her legs out. She grabs the steering wheel and the headrest as if she thought I'd pull her out. I don't. I just stand between her legs with my jaw tensed. I lean closer and whisper near her face, "Darling, you need to be punished for this." Her eyes go wide again but I pull her out of her seat and spin her around, making her bend over, her chest pressed to the seat.

I gently rub her cute ass and say, "You like playing with me, don't you?" She whimpers and I smack her ass hard that she hisses. I look around for a second and I smile when I see a 90s Toyota Camry in black. An idea popped into my head that I knew it will make her cum again.

I snake my hands to her front and open the button of her jeans and pull down the zip, "I told Elijah I'd reach home in 30 minutes but I don't think he'd mind if we're 10 minutes late. I'll just blame it all on you that you couldn't keep your hands off me." She gasps, "That is not true!" She tries to get up but I push her down again and warn, "Don't move."
I smack her ass again as punishment and she whimpers again.

I remove her hair so I would get a view of the side of her beautiful face and so that she could look at me. I push my hand inside her panties and I smile wider, "Someone is still dripping with their cum." Her panties were wet and so was her cunt. I gather up some of it in my fingers and use it as lube to circle her swollen sensitive clit. But I do it slow, real slow. Slow enough that she will go crazy.

She tries to move her hips but I'm holding her down, "Punishments do not come with pleasure, darling." She whimpers but stays quiet. I put pressure on her clit and she moans. I say, slowly, darkly, and low, "Tell me, darling, did you park your car in front of Josh's on purpose?" Her back tenses, "What!"

I pull her up, face her to his car and hold her to me, my hand still in her panties as I grab her neck with my other hand and make her make eye contact with his car. She curses under her breath, "Shit." I chuckle in her ear, leaning down to kiss the top of her head as I work my fingers slowly.
"I think you forgot that it's Monday night and it's 10 PM. Josh usually clocks out at 10, right?" I replace my left hand with my right in her panties so I could show her my watch. 10 PM on the dot. I press my lips to her ear, "Imagine, Josh comes out. Tired from hard work and he suddenly stops when he hears you moan my name only to see you standing in front of him, moaning my name over and over while my hands are in your jeans. Would you like that, darling?"

She rests the back of her head on my chest and looks at me with begging eyes, "Don't do this, Carter. Please." I raise my brow, "Should I stop now? We can go home and I can stop now." I almost pull my hand out but she holds my arm to keep my hand there. I breathe, "You're such a dirty girl. You still want me to keep going even when you know Josh could show up?" She bites her bottom lip and whispers, "Make it quick." I press my finger on her clit even more and stop all movements. She clenched her thigh to get some kind of stimulation and I say, "Keep your eyes on the gate, Lilly." She follows my gaze to the E.R. gate. There's Josh, talking with Sarah. She clamps her mouth shut with her hand and tries to hide in the car but I don't let her go.

I pull her hand away and start moving my fingers. She whimpers and cries when Josh walks out but ironically, he drops his keys on the floor. His face is still bruised and I hate that he's healing. She moans, "Carter, make it quick. Please, please, please,"
Her breath shivers when I do but I slow down instantly too. I wanna stretch this as long as I can. I'm having fun now.

I whisper in her ear, "I'll make it quick if you repeat things after me." She whimpers in agreement and I take time to form the sentence on purpose, "Tell me that you're mine."

She cries, "I'm yours."

I circle on her clit faster. I say, "Tell me you belong to me."

She moans, "I belong to you."

"Tell me your pussy is mine."

She chokes a cry, "It's yours."

"No, darling, you say the full sentence."

She moans, "My- Carter... I- please. It's yours."

"Say. The. Damn. Sentence. Lilly."

"It's yours! My pussy is yours!"

"Say every inch of you belongs to Carter Romano."

"Every- every inch of me- belongs- belongs to Carter... Carter Romano."

Her back arches and she cums on my hand. Josh is near and she panics but I hold her down, letting her orgasm ride out. When I take my hand out, she steps away and runs around to the car, ducking, and then opens the door to the other side and gets in, hiding from Josh's view. He stayed in front of the gate, texting on his phone. And her phone beeps. I look at her as she buttons and zips up her pants and I'm quick in grabbing her phone in the cup holder. It was him.

Her eyes are wide as I open her phone to see messages from him. It was only him. She never answered his messages. Ever. Not since I punched him badly. Then her phone rings. I look at him with his phone to his ear and I pick the phone up, smiling at Lilly. He says, "Hey. I'm so glad you picked up, Lilly. I just-" I smile, "I'm sorry, Josh. Lilly can't talk right now she's busy taking my cock in her mouth." And then I cut the call, block his number, and then handed her the phone. I sigh, "We gotta get you a new number." And I sit in the car, locking the doors.

I lick my fingers that were just in her panties and she watches when I do. I know it turns her on badly because it makes me go fucking crazy.
I start the car and say as I pull the car out of the park, "You keep looking at me like this, and I will fuck you in his car without a second thought." She's quick in turning her head to look straight and she connects her knees. Her breathing is heavy as I say, "Is my Lilly still wet?"
