Dangerous Love

Chapter 3: What Is She Doing To Me

Jane's POV

   Enzo left after introducing me to the maid whose name I've come to learn is Francesca. She showed me around and once were done; we headed back to the kitchen for tea.

"So... how did you end up in the devil's home?" Francesca inquired, leaning forward, her elbows on the table.
Should I tell her? What if Enzo finds out and kills me for telling? Deciding to just go for it, I told her anyways. I told her how I saw him murder a man and how he kidnaped me so as not to tell anyone. Her eyes widen and her jaw hangs opened.

"And he didn't kill you?" She gasped.

"Umm... I don't think he did. I feel pretty alive," I joked.

"To say I'm shocked is an understatement. He has always killed anyone who caught him committing a crime," Francesca looked at me wearily, analyzing me from head to toe. I shifted, growing uncomfortable under he intense gaze.

"Hmm," she hummed. "Well, if there's one thing I know about Enzo, it's that he always has a reason for everything he does."

I wonder what his reason for not killing me was?

Enzo's POV

I let out a groan of annoyance as I, for the millionth time, picture Jane in my head again. She looked so sexy in that outfit, her long creamy legs making my stomach knot. The way her boobs were pushed up from the dress made the knot in my stomach move to a spot further down. My mind was telling me all these things I should so to her, but something was telling me not to. Any other girl I would have, but her, there was something about her that made me feel something. I didn't like it at all. I can not allow a stupid girl to mess with my head and get me unfocused... more than she already has managed to do in just the few days she's been here.

I don't know why I didn't shoot her that night or why I even brought her here. Which is also strange since I always know why I do the things I do. I don't even know this woman, yet I feel the need to protect her. Why?

I feel the need to be around her. Why?

I feel the need to hold her. Why?

Why? Why? Why? Why?

Ugh! This feeling of not knowing Makes me want to scream!
Why is she doing this to me?

I need it hit something.

I stand up to head to my gym. When I get there I take off my shirt and grab the speed wraps and wrap them around my hands. I walk over to the punching bag and start punching.

With each swing I took at the bag ahead of me I could feel the stress and tension leaving my body. The pain in my hands from my knuckles ripping apart distracted my mind from her.

I don't know how long I'd been at it but I stopped when my muscles began to get sore. Sweat dripped from my body as I walked towards the bench and tossed myself on it.

My breathing heavy as I closed my eyes. Flashback's from my passed displayed themselves beneath my eyelids. She was there. She was laughing and playing just as a child should.

"Lorenzo, wait for me!" her small legs ran as fast as they could to catch up with the young boy. "you know I can't run that fast!"

It was true, he did know she was slower than a turtle. But he had always been the competitive type. However, he slowed his pace for her, letting her catch up and run alongside him.

"haha! Last one there is a rotten uovo!" Another little boy laughed as he ran passed them.

Then the scene changed, they were no longer children playing tag in the back yard. They now were young adults.

"I'll kill him for what he's done to you!" Alessandro fumed, pacing back and forth as I held her in my arms as she cried. My hands drying each tear that fell from her eyes as I whispered to her that everything would be okay.

It changed again. Now they were in a hospital and there she lay, cold and lifeless on the bed. He had just watched her take her last breath. It felt like his last as well, he wanted to yell, scream, cry. His chest felt like his heart was being cut out and his lungs burned. She was supposed to be here with him, she wasn't supposed to die!

From that day on, Lorenzo Valeri vowed to himself that everything he ever did, he would do it for her.

I snapped out of the flashback hyperventilating and shaking. I don't understand. I haven't had a flashback of her in years, why is she recurring in my mind now? I shook my head, I don't want to think about her right now. I began walking to my room.

On my way I passed my office and I see Jane knock on the door then start to play with the hem of her dress. I smirked.

"Looking for me?" I teased, walking up beside her. She jumped and let out a small squeal.

Jane's POV

I was on my way to Enzo's office to ask for a more comfortable place to sleep seeing as he has tons of empty bedrooms and I really don't want to be sleeping in that basement any longer. So I thought 'Why not ask', it never hurt anybody to ask.

I raised a shaking hand and knocked then brought my hand down to play with the hem of my dress. A nervous habit of mine.

"Looking for me?" I jump and let out a small scream. Enzo was right behind me, shirtless, might I add. Beads of sweat rolling down his very toned six pack. He was so close I could feel his breath fanning my face. "Like what ya see?" He smirked. I reluctantly tore my gaze from his abs to his face. My eyes widened and he chuckled.

"I-I just wanted t-to ask if I could stay in one of the bedrooms instead of the b-basement?" I looked anywhere but him, already terrified at what his reaction would be.

"Of course. I'll show yo to your room." He responded back... kindly?

Enzo's POV

What the f*ck is wrong with me? What is this new emotion I am suddenly expressing? Why am I acting like this? Again, I don't know the reasons for my actions.

"Thank you." Jane says so quietly I almost didn't hear it. She looks down but I catch a glimpse of a blush on her cheeks. I need to get away from her! As far away as possible. I turn around to take her to her room. Once we reach it, she walks in muttering a faint "goodnight". I give her a curt nod and walk to my room.

Shit!

Of course the room I pick for her has to be the one right next to mine. Just great.
