Good afternoon people! I hope you guys are still enjoying my story, I've been trying to make the chapters a little bit longer for y'all! Just a warning juicy stuff coming soon :)
------------------------------------

"Good morning Annabelle." Vincent said as he walked into the kitchen. I was sitting at the table eating cereal. I looked up at him as he walked deeper into the kitchen.

"Morning. What happened to you this morning?" I asked him. For the past month I have slept in the same bed with him and each morning I wake up and he is already gone.

"I went down to the gym." He said as he made himself a bowl of cereal and sat down across from me. We ate in silence just watching each other's every move. The sexual tension had been building up for months now and yet neither one of us acted on it.

"So my parents are coming over." I almost choked on my cereal. I carefully chewed the food in my mouth and swallowed it.

"What?" I asked him unsure if I heard him correctly.

"My parents are in town and they want to meet you. They'll be here for dinner." He informed me. He told them about me? My heart started to pound inside of my chest. I had never met anyone's parents except for Nats but even then I was four years old and I was like another daughter to them.

"Why would they want to meet me? We aren't even a couple Vincent." I was slightly starting to panic. What if they didn't like me because I was the 'enemies' daughter? What if I wasn't up to their standards?

"I've told them about how close we are getting and they insisted on meeting you." He stood up and grabbed our dishes and sat them in the sink.

"Tonight?" I asked him nervously and he nodded.

"They will be here around six, dress nice." He kissed me softly on the lips and I groaned from the sparks that ignited on my lips. He smirked at me playfully before he pulled away.

"I have work to do. I'll see you later Annabelle." He winked and left me sitting alone at the kitchen table. I glanced at the clock and noticed that it was only half past ten so I had plenty of time to relax before I had to get ready. Even though the house is pretty much always clean I made sure that the floors were vacuumed, that everything was dusted off, and that there no dishes or trash inside the house. I also made sure the bathrooms were clean and stocked. When I was done cleaning I went to my room and started to get ready.

I took a shower, scrubbed and shaved everywhere like usual. I washed my hair really good and got out. I wrapped myself in my towel and brushed and blow dried my hair. I curled my hair into big loose curls. I took some hair from each side and pinned it back. I put on light eyeshadow and a few coats of mascara and eyeliner just enough to make my eyes stand out.

I put on a black lace bra and thong set. I decided to wear a maroon strapless dress that went down to my knees. It hugged my curves in just the right places. I slipped on a pair of black plain high heels. I looked myself over in the mirror and was impressed with what I saw. I looked nice and yet not much over the top. I sprayed on some perfume and decided I'd go check on Vincent.

I got to his office and knocked twice before he told me to come in.

"Come in." He used his stern work voice which sent shivers down my spine. I opened the door and stepped inside. He was in the middle of a meeting with Adriano and Matteo.

"Ooops I will come back later-" I smiled apologetically and started to walk back out of his office.

"No don't leave. Guys we will finish this up later. I need to speak with Annabelle privately." Both men got up and left his office shutting the door behind them.

Vincent stood up and took long strides until he was right in front of me. He stared deeply into my eyes without saying a word. My breath hitched in my throat by the hungry look he was giving me it was like he wanted to eat me alive.

He grabbed my face in both of his hands and slammed his lips on mine. At first I was shocked by the hunger in his kiss but in a matter of seconds I was kissing him back with equal force. Our lips danced together in sync, and our tongues battled for dominance which he won of course. My knees felt wobbly like they always did when we kissed like this. Which wasn't very often here lately. I missed the feeling of him this close to me.

Vincent picked me up and sat me down on top of his desk. He started kissing down my jaw line and down my neck sucking and nibbling on my exposed flesh along the way. The sounds of my moaning fueled him even further. He rubbed his hands up and down my sides as he unzipped my dress in one quick motion and pulled my dress halfway down my body. He started to kiss down my collarbone and over the top part of my breast. His hands worked their way around my back until the found the clasp of my bra. He unhooked my bra and my breasts bounced free.

Vincent's eyes darkened with lust. He trailed kisses over every inch of skin on my chest. He sucked the skin around my nipples sending me to cloud nine I had never felt pleasure like that before. It was like shocks of pure ecstasy rolled through me. After a few minutes of licking and sucking around my chest he finally took my right nipple into his mouth. He rolled it gently in between his teeth and it felt amazing, I didn't care that I was sitting on his desk with my chest out in the open. The sensations I felt at that moment made it all well worth it.

He kissed in between my boobs and made his way over to my other nipple. I laced my fingers into his hair pulling just enough to show him how much his actions were affecting me. He licked my skin back up to my lips and then our lips met again with much more passion than before.

We were so lost in our own world that we didn't even hear the door to his office open. The sound of someone clearing their their throat finally broke us apart.

"Vincent what in the world is going on in here?" An older woman asked looking mortified. It was his mother. The resemblance was so strong there was no denying it.

We both stood there awkwardly staring at her before Vincent stood in front of me to shield me from his mothers slightly judge mental eyes. I can't say I blamed her for judging me. Her first impression of me is with me half way naked making out with her son.

"Oh darling I'm sorry! I'll be downstairs." His mom apologized and quickly left the room. I started to put my bra back on and pulled my dress back up and zipped it.

I felt so humiliated and embarrassed and I knew the night was just getting started.

"Well that was significantly awkward." I broke the silence as I smoothed out my dress.

"Yes it was." Vincent said as he put on his suit jacket.

"How in the hell am I supposed to come back from that? She probably thinks I'm a slut."

"I'm sure she doesn't think you're a slut." He said trying to calm me down which wasn't working.

"I can't go out there! They are going to hate me!" I whined and felt my chest closing up from lack of oxygen.

"Annabelle relax. I'm twenty six years old surely my mother knows I'm not a virgin." He had the nerve to freaking smirk at me.

"But I am Vincent! I am a virgin. I don't want her to get the wrong idea about me." I exasperated loudly waving my hands around in the air like I always do when I'm about to lose my shit.

"Calm down. Breathe in and out. Come on let's go out there. I'll introduce you to my parents I promise by the end of the night they will absolutely adore you." He somehow managed to convince me that everything was okay and calmed me down. He took my hand and led me out of his office and into the living room where his parents were. Vincent cleared the house of everyone except for me and Vanessa so thankfully no one else had to witness my cherry red cheeks when we walked into the living room.

"Hello darling I've missed you." His mom said as she kissed both of his cheeks.

"Hey ma. I've missed you both." Vincent said as he hugged both of his parents.

"Hey son, how's the business going?" His dad eyes me suspiciously.

"Everything is going well surprisingly." They went into light conversation for a few minutes and I fumbled with my fingers nervously trying to get the courage to introduce myself. His mom stared at me as if she knew I was about to shit myself. She could sense my nerves and was just staring me waiting for me to tick.

"Hello Mrs.Colombo I'm Annabelle or Anna or Belle whichever you'd like. It's nice to finally meet you. Vincent speaks highly of you and his father." She stared at me for a few more seconds before a big smile broke across her face.

"Hello dear I'm Velia and this is my husband Vance. We heard Vincent here has been spending time with a girl and we just had to meet you." She pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

"Jesus Vel don't squeeze the poor girl you may break her bones." Vance teased his wife which earned him a playful slap on the arm.

"Nice to meet you Anna my son has exquisite taste in ladies, you're beautiful. Nothing like what I pictured when he told me who you were." Vance gave me a quick hug as he introduced himself. He looked no older than forty five years old. He had black hair and piercing green eyes just like Vincent and Vanessa but his facial features were much more prominent than Vincent's. Vincent and Vanessa are the perfect combination of both of their parents. His mom had honey brown hair and blue eyes. She was about 5'5 as to where Vance was about 6'4.

"Shall we eat? I'm starved." Velia asked as she led us towards the kitchen where the waitstaff served us our dinner. For dinner they made lasagna Bolognese. We held small conversations about the business and how I was liking it here.

"I actually like it here." I told them honestly as I took a sip of my wine. They probably thought I was insane for wanting to stay somewhere where I was kidnapped and brought hostage to.

"But don't you miss your parents darling?" His mom looked more shocked than his dad did.

"Well of course I miss them, I don't see me being brought here as a bad thing. I think that God crossed our paths for a reason. I'm just taking it day by day." I spoke seriously. It was true I didn't see this place a prison of any kind, not anymore at least. It felt like home to me. These people had became my family.

"I see, and what happens when your dad pays his debt?" Vance was the one to ask the question I had no answer to. I looked at Vincent because I had no idea what was next for us. I mean sure we went on a few dates and we sleep in the same bed every night but as far as what comes next for us I had no idea.

"We will just have to see when the time comes." Vincent answered the question and his answer made me even more worried about what is going to happen next.

He gave his parents a sharp look that said not ask anymore questions about the matter and I was more than grateful because I wouldn't have known what to say.

We ate the rest of our meal in a somewhat comfortable silence and after we were done eating Vincent and his dad went into his office to talk more business.

"Dear would you like to join me for a walk? I'd like to get to know more about you." Velia offered me a genuine smile and I kindly accepted her invitation. We walked out the back door and into the back yard. Being here for at least four months and I hadn't even seen the backyard once. It was beautiful there was a huge in ground swimming pool that had big stones around it with a matching hot tub that had a fountain that poured into the pool. There was patio furniture on the porch and a top of the line grill on the side of the porch.

His house sat on at least five acres of land which was all fenced in by a tall iron fence. There was a concrete sidewalk that twist and turned down the whole property. There was pretty flowers all down the sides of the sidewalk.

We started walking down the sidewalk both of us taking is the sunset and the flowers surrounding us.

"So tell me about yourself dear." His mom offered me a soft smile. I honestly had no idea what to even tell her. What could she possible want to know?

"What about me?"

"Just things about your life, I want to know more about the girl my son is currently involved with. You know how moms can be."

"Well I'm twenty three years old. I'm an only child. I graduated college with honors but I haven't found a job yet. I really want to travel the world. There's not really much to tell." I kindly filled in some of the blanks of my life.

"No siblings?" She asked almost in shock. I guess now a days it's not really common to just have one kid.

"Yeah my mom had a bunch of problems when she was in labor with me they weren't able to have any more children." I told her honestly.

"That much have been hard for you growing up alone." She smiled sadly at me and I shook my head.

"I didn't grow up alone. I have a bestfriend named Natalie we've been joined at the hips since we were four. I don't remember life before her."

"Well that's lovely. So what about your parents? I take it you haven't known long about your dad being in the Mafia." We continued walking until we got to the back of the property. There was a big wooden porch swing that sat in front of a pond. We both sat down and watched the sun as it was about to finish setting.

"Up until a couple months ago I thought my parents owned a law firm. I even worked for them filing paper work which now that I think about it it doesn't make sense. Nothing about my life makes sense anymore." I slowly tried to put the pieces together of why my parents lied to me for so long. It would have been nice to learn the truth from them instead of by a complete stranger.

"Dear don't try to find out answers because your parents probably have a reason why they kept this from you. It's not necessarily a lifestyle parents normally want for their children." Hurt flashed across her eyes along with another emotions maybe regret?

"You didn't want Vincent to take over for his father?" I asked suspiciously. She hesitated a moment before she inhaled deeply.

"Of course I didn't want him to take over for his father. I had bigger dreams for my son than this believe it or not. I wanted him to be a doctor or maybe even a lawyer." When she spoke with so much sadness in her voice I could really tell that she wasn't happy about her son taking over.

"I could see him being a lawyer. He's stubborn as hell." I say but more to myself. His mom let out a genuine laugh and I even giggled myself.

"He gets it from me. We are stubborn as mules." His mother joked and I simply nodded in agreement.

I picked up little rocks and skipped them across the pond watching them slide across the water. We both sat in silence for a little while before she broke the silence.

"How do you feel about my son?" She asked me curiously.

"I really care about him. Which probably makes me sound crazy considering he's the reason I'm here." I half heartedly joke.

"So you're not playing games with him or using him for his money?" She sounded almost surprised.

"I wouldn't care if he had no money. Money is not a reason to be with someone. It's about how you care about each other and the feelings you share. I may not seem like much but I am definitely not using your son or playing any games with him." I was slightly offended that she would even ask me such a thing but I had to understand where she was coming from. I would probably be the same way with my son if I had one.

"I really like you Anna I see that you have a good heart and you're very passionate that's exactly what I want for my son. You have my blessing in whatever you guys choose to do. Vincent doesn't have the best track record when it comes to women."

"Yeah no kidding." I joke and his mom laughed again. It was nice getting along with her when just a few hours I'm pretty sure she was going to hate me.

"Just promise me you'll take care of him. With me and his father being all over the place I worry about him regardless of his age a mother will always worry." She grabbed my hand and patted it soothingly.

"I promise I'll look out for both him and Vanessa." I told her honestly and that's when she threw her arms around me. I heard her sniffling so I just rubbed soothing circles on her back.

She pulled away and she had the biggest smile on her face.

"Thank you darling. I'm glad Vincent met you. I hope he doesn't screw this up between you guys." She told me honestly and I smiled at her gratefully.

"I hope he doesn't either." I told her honestly.
