Standing There (Love in the Park 1)

“I have a service come in, but I haven’t had this place long. I bought it a year ago, but I’ve only just moved in this month.”

“Why?”

“Most of my business kept me at the office, so I took forever to move out of my condo.”

“It’s a beautiful home,” I remark.

“Thanks, babe. I’m so glad that you think so.”

“Well, I’m full and feeling like a third wheel. I’m going to go lay down on that awesome sofa.

“I’m done as well.” I couldn’t eat another thing because my mind has been on Roman and how much I want him to take my innocence.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. How about we go somewhere to talk?”

“If we go anywhere to talk I’ll have your thighs around my face and I sure as hell won’t be doing the talking.”

“Ah,” I gasp, clenching my thighs. Fevering need begs me to demand we’re alone, but I have a feeling that if Katherine’s awake, she might interrupt.

“Give it time, beautiful. Then I’m going to show you what you do to me.”

We clean up the mess and dump in the trash. He steals a peck, then takes my hand and leads me into the family room.

“Ooh, I love this movie.” The first Avengers movie is on, and it’s one of the best in the series, in my opinion. He sits down and pulls me to his side while Katherine rests on the other side.

By two in the afternoon, the movie is over, and Katherine is passed out on the lounging sofa. Throughout the movie, his hands have been moving up and down my arm and through my hair. All of the stimulation made me bold. I look up at Roman because somehow my head made its way to his chest. “Kiss me, Roman,” I say.

He smiles and lowers his head, claiming my mouth. I moan and deepen the kiss, sliding my hands over his chest. He growls and flips me onto my back, pinning me with his strong body to the sofa with my arms above my head. I can feel him, and yes, I must have hit the total jackpot. I arch my hips up, dragging them across his cock, wanting more and searching for a way to get it. He pops off me and stands. The loss feels instant and brutal, but it doesn’t last long because I’m lifted into his arms and being carried away up the right staircase and to the bedroom on the right.

“I’ve got plans for you, but no audience is welcome.” He sets me on the bed, gently. He crosses his arms and grips the hem of his shirt, lifting it off his body. A strange sound emanated from me. It was a cross between a purr and a moan, but he loves it. Roman moves to stand in between my thighs. His hands cup my face, rubbing his thumbs over my cheekbones, sending heat through me before he kisses me. I’m breathless, panting and hoping I can give him the pleasure I’m feeling, but our passion is to be delayed.

The sound of sirens blaring hit my ears. Roman is on his feet, throwing his shirt on and pulling me up to my feet. “Shit, come with me, baby. I need to keep you safe.” He leads me out of the room and down the staircase to Katherine.

“What’s going on?” I ask, starting to freak out. With his hand in mine, he rushes me to Katherine, waking her up with a rough shake to her shoulder. “Get up. I need you to come with me.” She groggily gets up, then seeing our frantic faces, shakes off the sleep. “Roman, come on tell me what’s going on,” I whine.

“Babe, I don’t have the time to explain.” He walks us through his study, hitting a button which opens a secret room. Once we’re in the room, he kisses me hard. “You’re safe in here.” He goes to the wall and enters a code which opens a gun safe. He pulls one gun out and cocks it, then grabs two more and packing them on his body. “I promise I’ll explain it all. I want you to know, whatever happens, I fell in love with you the second I saw you.” He’s out the door before I can say the same. I’m freaking out. Why would someone be at his gate? Then I notice the wealth and the danger must mean he’s a mobster. Fuck me, I’m in love with a freaking thug.

“What’s going on?” Katherine asks. I toss her a shrug because I really don’t have an answer. Trying to get my emotions under control, I pace the room and go to the ten screens on the wall. They’re all facing places of entrance around the property. I gasp and step back after I see Roman with a group of men. He’s safe, but at the same time what I’m watching crushes my heart all at the same time. Standing there, next to what looks like a dead animal, are several of the guys I’ve had following me. He works with them. He’s just another one of my brother’s guard dogs.
