Tainted

Love

Capri ended the call.

Sebastian was in France and she finally had the courage to accept his calls, explaining to him that she had been feeling sick and wasn't in the mood to interact.

It was all bullshit but for some reason he had accepted it.

Axel had gone out for the night, wanting to see what Spain had to offer, she had declined his invitation as she wanted to continue moping around.

Her phone rang once again, thinking it was Sebastian she answered without much thought.

"Caro mío".

She froze at the voice, it didn't sound as sultry as always, it sounded kind of sad.

"Mateo why are you calling me"? She asked softly, adding in a small sigh.

"Please open the door, I want to see you".

Her eyes snapped towards the front door as she sat on her couch.

"You should go see your wife instead Mateo, go away".

"It'll only be for a second Capri, please, just let me see your face, I want to feel peace even for a minute".

She opened her mouth to protest once again but stopped herself from doing so a his voice resonated through, there was something wrong, he needed her.

She reluctantly stood up from her seat and made her way towards her door, looking through the peep hole to see him standing there with his head down and a hand on the door, she furrowed her eyebrows.

Capri took in a breath before slowly opening the door, Mateo looked up at her slowly, sadness danced in his eyes as he gave her a small smile.

He was dressed casual, it was rare but he looked good.

Mateo reached for her in a swift movement, pressing her body onto his as he hugged her tightly.

"You smell divine caro mío".

He nuzzled himself into her hair, taking in a deep breath as he continued to embrace her.

"I needed this". He spoke softly.

Capri didn't know what to do, so she continued to let him hold her, her own arms embracing his body as they stayed together.

"Come inside". She offered, removing herself from his hold as she grabbed his hand and pulled him inside.

"Do you wanna talk"?

Mateo shook his head.

"Can we fuck instead"? He asked hopeful.

"No".

"Worth a try".

She brought him to the couch, pushing him down before making the intent to sit next to him, he instead grabbed her by the hips and forced her on his lap.

"Mateo". She warned.

He looked up at her with puppy eyes, as he wrapped his arms tighter around her.

"Thank you for letting me into your home". He said, shoving his face into her breasts.

He waited for Capri to push him off, she instead ran her fingers through his hair.

Mateo had a long a week after his arrival back to Italy.

His brother had gotten a room and hadn't stepped out since then, Mateo could sometimes faintly hear him talking to himself and he was sure he wasn't getting any sleep.
