A Wolf For The Gangster
Marchetti’s Obsession Chapter 11

Mia

Lennox

I toss and turn in bed, trying to forget that moment when his hands roamed my s*x. Hearing his dirty words terrified me and knowing he's strong enough to take me against my will is what scares me the most. I sigh and hug the pillow, he is a psychopath.

He claims he won't take advantage of me, however, he has made it clear that if I continue to disrespect him he will take me by force regardless of my screams or any tears I let out.

The worst thing is that I imagine situations in which it happens, I can't stop the images from flooding my head. I know it's absurd and far-fetched, as well as alarming, anyone in my situation sees those red flags indicating how dangerous it all is. I don't want to be the stupid hostage who develops Stockholm syndrome and all because my captor is an Italian mobster, with the bloody traits of a domineering badboy, Don may be a moody idiot, but that doesn't take away from his cuteness, it's like watching a man created by angels with that toned body and manly jawline.

When his arms come to rest on either side of my face I can see how big they are. I remember how his hand grips my waist, he is rough in doing so, yet it is a mixture of possessiveness and savagery, I think I have even seen his eyes be somewhat feline. "I must be crazy" I think, I hear the water of the pool as a body collides against it, as this room also has a direct view of the luxurious pool, I walk to the window and stand still, Don smokes what seems to be a cigar, the surprising thing is that he is naked "Doesn't he feel the cold of the night" I wonder as I watch him smoke.

The Italian puts aside the cigar and I cover my mouth to avoid letting out a scream, the man transforms into a huge white furry animal. He is a giant beast and his gaze travels to my window, I gasp as I see his red eyes and then I see him disappear, I have no idea where he went, I back away from the window and scream as a pair of hands grab my waist.

-Why are you spying on me, human? -His voice is husky," he questions.

-I... I... didn't... see anything," I whisper fearfully.

-You did see me," he says.

-I swear I didn't see anything," I mumble softly, trying to get him to believe me.

His nose rubs against my neck and he presses his lips to my ear.

-I can hear the sound of your heart racing when you tell those lies," his voice comes out low, and I turn and close my eyes, terrified. -Look at me, human," I deny.

"Look at me! -I open them, staring into the iris of his red eyes, while his pupils are that of a feline, I don't scream and just tremble under his grip.

-Please don't hurt me," I beg.

-I could never hurt you, Mia," he says.

The mobster stares at my face and then presses his lips to mine. He moves them slowly, waiting for a response from me, but fear keeps me paralysed, and he pulls away from me.

"Why is everything so difficult with you? -Don turns away from me and walks towards the door of my room, I can't believe I'm letting these words out, yet I say them. -Don't go, I'm completely crazy.

Stockholm syndrome is real and I'm living it.

The expression on his face is hard to read and he seems to be having an internal dispute, I don't even care that he's naked. Now I feel regretful for asking him in the stupidest way to stay by my side, I don't know him and what I must have is some sort of bond I forged with this mobster who holds me captive.

Silently he walks over to me and makes me get into bed, he lies down behind me without saying a word, I say nothing and we remain silent until sleep comes.

Enzo Marchetti

The human is strange, she saw me turn into a lion and yet she has asked me to sleep next to her. "What kind of trick is this?" I ask myself internally. I don't know what her purpose is, but I couldn't refuse to stay with her for a short time.

I look at her relaxed face in the darkness, it is not Astrid and it will never be her, I am not looking for a replacement for my beloved, however, why am I interested in this human? I can't help but be attracted to this girl and have deep down the need to have her all to myself.

I sigh and dare to leave a caress on her cheek, she is beautiful and although she looks like Astrid I don't call her by the name of my beloved, Kristin and I always end up fighting because I usually name her after her, however, this doesn't happen to me with the human.

I didn't manage to fall asleep next to her, not because I felt uncomfortable but because I wanted to see her sleep, I'm not sure if she wants to have me again as a companion, I guess that this strange reaction of asking me to join her was because of the adrenaline of the moment and because of what she saw me doing in the pool.

Because of this carelessness I look like a stupid first time puppy that transforms everywhere, I completely forgot that a human lives in my house, Yuky knows my secret and that of my family, as he is a member of my father's pack.

When the sun is starting to rise, I leave the room and enter my own, I lie down on my stomach without stopping thinking about the human, I will go crazy in a short time and maybe Donato is right, I'm letting myself be seduced by a nineteen years old brunette. I groan in confusion, I don't know what I'm doing.

Kristin doesn't deserve any of this, yet I feel good when I have the human by my side. It's like I'm back to the me of the past, the youthful Enzo who believed that one day he would meet a person who would drive him to do crazy things. I always thought that part of me was dead from that moment when my beloved was taken from my life.

-Enzo," I hear my brother call to me from the other side of the door. -I know you're not asleep, I don't care what state you're in right now," he enters my room, violating my privacy.

-What do you want? -I ask.

-Crazy Kristin went to the office and found out you're not on a trip, did you check your phone? -I turn to look at him with a frown.

-I don't even know where my phone is," I say.

-Perfect! -he lets go, throwing his arms in the air. -Solve your problems and stop that crazy woman from making a fuss in the company or else I'll kick her out," he threatens, "Why do you smell so strange? -he interjects. -Stop smelling me," I growl.

-Take a shower and get rid of that horrible smell of frustrated s*x," he leaves my room, cursing everyone for being such a nosy little prick.

I throw the white bedspreads away from my body and go to the bathroom, take a long cold shower and count the days since my last heat. At least it's something I never forget and always have to do, I sigh and lean my forehead against the glass, if my counting doesn't fail me in a couple of days I'll have the warmth of coupling.

After showering, I dress in a casual outfit, black polo shirt and over it a light brown one button jacket, with a pair of trousers of the same colour and black dress shoes. It is common for my clothes to fit tightly to my body, being chunky makes me stand out in any outfit and not to be arrogant, however, I look good.

I leave the room and make my way to the kitchen, I am taken by surprise to see the human laughing with my sisters. Her smile fades as she walks over to my expressionless face, I don't know what to say and just take a seat on one of the stools at the counter. My phone rings and I catch a glimpse of Kristin's name, I growl low and retreat from the kitchen so I can talk to her, I don't want my sisters to overhear my conversation and start talking things they shouldn't be talking about.

-I'm waiting for a f*****g explanation of where you are, Enzo.

-First of all, tone down your tone when talking to me," I growl at him, "You must not know where I am or who I'm with," I mumble.

-So you're with someone! -he shouts.

-I didn't say that, Kristin, why do you always get stupid ideas in your head? I'll tell you one thing, I don't want you to make a scandal in the company again," I say seriously. -You have no right to do that," he added.

-I am your wife! -he exclaims from the other end of the line.

-No, you're not my wife, I remind you that we're just having s*x," I turn around and am surprised to see Mia standing a few inches away from me.

-Are you avoiding me? -she questions in a low voice.

-Who the hell is that woman?! -she asks loudly, dammit.

-Kristin, I'll talk to you later," I hang up on her, I know she'll be furious about that, "Why are you acting like that? -I ask, confused. "You should be afraid of me," I add.

-Do you want me to be afraid of you? -he asks.

-No, but I'm trying to understand why the human keeps trying to get the beast who kidnapped her and promised to f**k her against her will to notice her," I express without any modesty on my tongue as I glimpse a small blush on her cheeks. -Stockholm syndrome.
