Innocent

Boundaries

Capri ate awkwardly as the two men around her stood there silently.

"Would you like to join me"? She finally asked dropping the fork in her hand before straightening her posture as she signaled the seats beside her in mockery.

She was having dinner by herself and apparently Mateo thought that she needed bodyguards while she did so, just in case she choked on her food.

A bit of an exaggeration if you asked her.

When they had arrived at the manor she was eagerly met by the staff, the
head-maid being Loretta, a sixty something year old woman who's known Mateo since he was a young boy, she was lovely but a bit cold.

The two men ignored her, evoking a blaring scoff from Capri.

"Where's Mateo"?

"Bedroom". One of them finally responded.

She stood up from her seat, walking past them as she made her way upstairs.

There were too many rooms to figure out which one was his but the yelling she heard in Italian gave it away.

She stopped in front of one of the many doors, taking in a needed breath before hesitantly wrapping her hand around the door knob and stepping in without a second thought.

When she entered, her eyes zeroed in at the bare back of a man who had a towel around his waist.

Mateo was throwing insults left and right in Italian as he yelled through the phone, at one moment removing it from his ear to scream profanities into it.

Capri jumped at his tone, fear running through her.

She wanted to turn away and run before he noticed her but she couldn't tear her gaze away as his back muscles contracted with every movement he made, she was in awe.

She felt bad for whoever was on the other end of the call, she would've cried if someone yelled at her that way.

Mateo finally hung up, throwing the phone at the wall before grumbling to himself as he turned around while removing his towel to dry his hair.

His eyes connected with Capri's.

Fuck.

Her eyes widened like saucers when he turned to face her, his package swaying from left to right from his earlier motions.

"Capri what the fuck"! He yelled loudly, startling her from her trance.

"Get out"!

Mateo charged towards her while wrapping the towel around himself, angry at the intrusion of the young girl who finally backed away and ran out, yelling an apology as she left quickly.

Capri was locked in her bedroom, keeping herself hostage throughout the rest of the day as she did her best to avoid the brooding man.

She had practically ogled him without shame, there was no way she could look him in the eye after this.

Capri sighed heavily to herself as she slipped on her silk nightgown, jolting at the sound of someone knocking at her door.

"Capri, open the door I need to speak to you". Mateo said sternly, jiggling the door knob right after.

She swallowed hard, quickly turning off the lights in hopes that he would leave.

"Now I definitely know you're awake, aperta". He demanded with a slap to the door. (Open)

She slumped her shoulders in defeat as she turned on the lights once again before making her way towards the door to open it.

Her gaze remained on the floor as Mateo stepped in slowly, his hands in his pockets as he eyed the room.

"Do you like the way your bedroom was decorated"? He asked, now lifting his gaze to look at her.

He was holding himself back from speaking down to her, he couldn't believe she had stood there, eyeing him in his naked state.

She had no sense of boundaries.

"I do, thank you".

Capri wasn't the type to be easily intimidated but she had never met a man like Mateo, he made her feel small.

"Sit".

Capri listened, falling back onto the bed as her feet dangled back and forth.

"What you did today was inappropriate Capri, do you understand that"? He asked, now looking down at her as she sat on the bed beside him, her gaze centered on his suit jacket, silently playing with the ends of it.

"I'm sorry, I was just waiting for you to end your call to speak with you and then.. you turned around and I-I-

"It's fine but any time you come to see me I need you to knock first, understood"?

Capri nodded slowly sniffling as her eyes watered.

Mateo wrapped his arms around her which she quickly took as an opportunity to sit on his lap.

His scent was intoxicating and Capri couldn't get enough of it, she smiled devilishly to herself as she adjusted her ass on his crotch causing him to still.

Mateo knew she didn't mean to intrude earlier and he knew she was unaware of what she was doing at this very moment so as the adult he picked her up and lifted her off of him, standing up before giving her a peck on the top of her head.

"Sweet dreams, I'll see you tomorrow".

A small smile appeared on her face as the door closed behind him, she was only getting started.

The next day Capri jumped down the stairs as she skipped towards the kitchen finding Mateo and his men sitting around the counter as they enjoyed breakfast.

"Buenos días, y mi asiento"? She asked, grinning as she clasped her hands behind her back. (Good morning which ones my seat)

She was excited to start her first day at school in her new country and new home, Italy wasn't so different from Spain and the language she'd pick up on without a problem.

They looked over at her with a cocked brow only understanding the 'buenos días'.

She rolled her eyes.

"Which one is my seat"? She repeated in English as she rocked back and forth on her feet.

For her uniform she wore a reddish plaid skirt that reached mid thigh also sporting her black suit jacket and her white dress shirt that went along with a red bow tie, her black loafers shined matching her long white socks that reached her knees.

She had also let her hair down that reached her lower back, matching it with a black headband to keep it in place.

"Giusto qui". Spoke Loretta as she pulled out the chair that was right next to Mateo,
Capri's grinned widened. (Right here)

"Will you be taking me to school today? It's my first day, papa always took me whenever he had the chance". She smiled, her hand under her chin as she blinked away at Mateo.

He looked over at her, stopping his fork mid air as he listened to her request.

"Oh I can't-

He cut himself off as he noticed her small pout and her big eyes staring up at him, he'd hate himself if he denied her.

"I have some time yes, I can take you". He smiled tightly before shoving the forkful of food into his mouth.

"Great, let me get my backpack"! Capri jumped off her seat ignoring Loretta's voice as she yelled behind the girl to come back to finish her breakfast, she was too excited to listen.
