I'm In.

Chapter 12: The other side.

***Picture of Americo's "ranch" XD  -  This chapter is dedicated to this book's gratest reader!***

We landed in Ukraine at around 2 or 3 am. We were supposed to have arrived much earlier, at noon, but Americo, Lucca's dad, -that was riding the plane with us- got caught up with business and we waited for him.

We got off the plane and were received by Ukranian speaking security men. I had no clue what they were saying, but Lucca and Clement (his bodyguard, remember?) replied effortlessly. As usual, several vehicles were parked right at the airport's door waiting for us. Aaron helped me get in the back of the van, while Lucca said some last few words to his father that got in a different car. After he finished saying his goodbyes, he made his way to the van and got in next to me.

- Let's head home, Aaron. Clement is leaving with Americo to the ranch. – Lucca ordered while going through his phone. Aaron started the car and took the highway.

- You hungry? – He asked me while placing his hand on my inner thigh.

- Not really, the plane ride left me uneasy. I better not eat for a few hours. – I answered placing my hand on his, and when he stared back to his phone, I turned to the window.

I fell asleep during the car ride and woke up when Lucca took me from the seat and carried me bridal style into the house. I put my head in his neck, feeling his beard tickle my forehead, and let him take me upstairs.

- Sir, do I put the suitcases inside the room or I leave them by the door? – Aaron asked from outside the room's door while Lucca sat me in the bed.

- Bring them in. – Lucca ordered and in came Aaron and another guy. Lucca pointed where to leave the suitcases and the two left, closing the door on their way out.

I got up and went to my suitcase, so I could look for a nightie. I found one and started taking my clothes off as Lucca was doing.

- Wow, wait. What- What is that? – I heard his concerned voice from behind me. I'd already taken my shirt off and was pulling off my pants, so I was in my underwear.

Lucca approached and took me by the hips. He turned me around so that I faced the wall, I complied confused.

- What the... - I heard him mumble and move to turn the lamp in the table nearby on.

- What? What is it? – I asked confused and a bit worried.

- Shh... Does it hurt? – He moved me nearer the light and pressed his thumb into a spot on my back.

- Ouch! Yes, yes it does! – I yelped in surprise due to the painful sensation.

- You have a big purple bruise here and below your butt cheek. – He stated looking over them.

- Oh, that. Yes, they are from... you know... the other night. – I said lowering my voice in embarrassment. They were bruises from the night in the hotel. It had been two nights ago, but last night he hadn't seen them because when he arrived at the chalet I was already in bed.

- What other- Oh... the other night. – He was confused at first but then caught on.

- Yeah... you were a little bit too rough. I have those two and two more on my inner thighs. – I showed him where the other two were.

- I'm sorry, I had no idea... - He said running his thumb gently over the bruises.

- Don't worry, really. I'm easily bruised actually. – I explained just so he wouldn't feel bad.
