The Grand Mistress

Staring right through Primo's eyes, Gabriella knew she was caught!

Shit!

Immediately she retracted her stare and lowered her head cursing! 

Idiot Gabriella! How could you be so shameless?

She chided herself and immediately, she finished her brushing in just a second and fled right out through the door. She closed the bathroom door hard and leaned at it to catch her breath, also her racing heart.

"Shit Gabbie you are so one of a…..oh God!" she helplessly knocked her head with her fist and thought of anything that could redeem her broken pride. Earlier she went so hard on him, refusing all his advances and yet tonight, she ended up shamelessly peeking on Primo! Worst of all, the man had caught her and even made a slight mockery of it!

Gabriella pressed her chest to calm her heart and helplessly gathered herself to the big bed at the center of the room. She tossed herself on the soft mattress and thought of nothing but all her misdeeds tonight. She spent a few minutes on it but flinched when she heard the bathroom door flew open. Not wanting to face Primo, as she had no more face to flaunt to the man, she slid herself inside the blanket, rolled to her side and closed her eyes.

Perhaps it was time for her to sleep and be the good behave girl she always was.

While eyes closed, Gabriella could feel Primo's presence in the room. She felt him moving, pulling one thing after another, walking back and forth and at the end, settled on the other side of the bed until she felt the mattress sunk to accommodate another body into it. She knew Primo had joined her in bed and her eyes went big at that! Was he planning to sleep with her on the same bed tonight?

God I can't believe this man!

"Primo what are you doing?" She couldn't help but confront him as she seriously cannot stay with him in the same room, much more on the same bed.

Primo's brows curled at her question but decided to give the girl an answer anyway. "Lying on the bed,"

"I know," She said, already annoyed at the man's lack of sensitivity. She was trying hard to be patient and compromising but him teasing her in the bathroom didn't settle well on Gabriella's pride and so right then, she was clearly not feeling Primo's obsession to be close to her. "But what are you doing here? Can you at least have the decency to sleep in another room?"

Her annoyance only entertained Primo. He loved talking to her but most of the time she chose to be quiet, so she speaking of  her annoyance right then, amused Primo in all ways possible.

"Well I'm not decent so I'm just going to sleep here," Primo answered with a wide grin that only made Gabriella hate him more. "Besides, this is my room, so I think I have all the right to sleep here,"

"What?" Gabriella dragged herself around every four corners and realized that the bedroom's color was of masculine theme and vibes and so Primo's words seemed legit. "The maid didn't tell me this. Are you bluffing me?"

"Unfortunately not dulzura, why would I?"

Gabriella felt like the issue didn't bother Primo that much and so she squeezed herself out of the bed and stood then headed for the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll ask the servants to bring me to another room," Gabriella went on without permission as if she was the Madam of the house. "This sleeping arrangement won't do with me,"

"You seemed to have liked our sleeping situation in Mondrew City…" Primo teased.

"That was when I didn't know you were El Tigre," She replied, almost as casually as if she did not fear him at all. 

"What's the difference now?"

"The difference is that you had every woman in Devon City gone crazy over you and that they will easily kill me if they'll know what happened to us in another city,"

"I won't allow anyone to hurt you Dulzura, so relax. Sleep now if you want, I promise I won't be of much burden,"

"You beside me in bed is already burdensome," Gabriella couldn't help but think about all the nights they spent together in one bed including all the wild things they both willingly did in the dark. She knew having Primo beside her on same bed would lead to nothing good since the man was fucking irresistible.

"Me beside you is pleasuresome," Primo returned the rhyme as he kept on teasing her. Gabriella's face this time had gone real red because of her annoyance on Primo who right then was very nonchalant about the alarming situation they were in. 

Was he not thinking? Sleeping in the same room would only cast out suspicions and raise unnecessary expectations and this was one of the many things she wanted to avoid. She was a Monteria and she had a reputation to protect. Surely this scandal they were about to commit would only bring nothing but complications in the future.

"Primo please...this won't do," Gabriella was damned so seriously already and her eyes glared at Primo once again. She put her two hands on her hips as she went on nagging. "We're not married, we can't sleep in the same room or else people will think I'm already something in your family,"

"But you are already something to my family," 

"What something? Can you not play with me dum—"

"The moment you stepped in this mansion, you broke the record for being the first woman to enter my residence," Primo gave her an assuring glance. "Promise. That record already made you more than something in my family,"

"Why do you always have something to answer?" Gabriella was already frustrated. She had tried winning an argument with him and she had never once won. In the middle of her desperation and hope that somehow Primo would not act too weird, she remembered he was a lawyer—a brilliant one—so perhaps she'll just give up arguing. "Can you not answer anymore and just bring me to another room? I really want to sleep alone…"

Seeing her desperation, Primo heaved a big sigh but instead of giving her permission so she can go on with her request, he dragged himself out of bed and walked slowly toward her with his domineering aura. He, in just a minute, turned from the calm and nonchalant man into something else. Something scary, devious, tiger-beastly-like that staring in his fire lit eyes already made Gabriella want to bolt out of the door. Primo took  his time walking toward his nagging woman and stopped just inches from her.

Gabriella swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the view of him. Primo was topless and so his hard perfectly sculpted abs were all waving at her, ready to be explored and touched. Below, he was on trunks and she could not particularly tell whether the size of it was just enough of him or his sex just stretched far bigger that made his trunks look like it was short of size. Seeing him fully erected, Gabriella could only bite her lips.

With their short distance, Primo stepped closer but Gabriella, who was already feeling all the tension wanted to evade it, so she stepped back as he was advancing. They did the step's chase for a minute until Gabriella took the one last step she could as her back was already on the wall. In a moment she was pinned on it, while Primo was in front of her, giving her wild haunting stares.

"Primo..." Gabriella attempted to stop him but her voice got lost after she spit his name. His eyes had drowned her and she had lost her senses for minutes. Primo took one more step that in a moment only a thin imaginary line was standing between them, only as thin as a chopstick.

"Dulzura…." His voice came so alluring that Gabriella had to shake her head to remain her sanity steady. Goddam! What was Primo planning? In panic and super lost, she took the initiative of lowering down her head to escape his fiery gaze. Staring through him was like she was being hypnotized and she couldn't bear the hotness any longer. 

However Primo took her chin and raised her head up again as he wanted to look into her stunning emerald eyes. She has that kind that reminds the man of all the innocent things in the world—fresh, pure things that he lacked in his life that was full of brutality and blood. Only with her did he find such soothing feelings, reminding him that somehow even with all his great sins, he can still be forgiven and most all be loved.

"My angel….." Primo called on her again and yet all Gabriella could do was sucked all her breath, not wanting to move. She was very aware how one reckless move right then, can lead to something and that she'll break lose. 

"I want you to sleep in this room dulzura...with me..." he said, his breath ragged. " And I want to do you, would you let me?"
