The journey to the villa was silent. Nick sat in the front with Guiseppe, and Gabriel endured the ride back sitting next to Rene. His face turned to the window he didn't want a conversation with her, and he had only sat in the back with Rene because he didn't entirely trust Nick not to start a row in the car. The way Nick felt he'd probably open the door and shove her out.
They drove straight to the cottage up past the villa, and past Guiseppe and Sophia's home.
While they were sitting at the breakfast table the following morning, Nick reached for her hand."Gabe and I have to do some work, today sweetheart, do you think you can amuse yourself for the morning?"Millie still got butterflies when he turned his sexy half-smile toward her. It made her tummy
Millie was having a fabulous lunch, linguini and prawns, and a glass of wine, she kept giggling wondering if the boys had found her note yet? Though a spike of shock went through her though when she wondered if she would still be laughing when Nick saw it and realised she had left the villa. She put that thought off as the waiter at the restaurant who had been so attentive to her, brought her a pile of olives and bread, he then arranged the napkin on her knee while dreaming about what he would do with those fabulous breasts she had that were half hiding under that skimpy top.Millie thanked him
Millie listened, hard. She could hear their voices, so she assumed they must have left the door open. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but she could hear the two different voices. Nick's was lower than Gabriel's. She could hear them both laughing. Huh! Well, at least they seemed to be enjoying themselves.Being blindfolded heightened the other senses and she could feel the breeze from the open windows wafting over her body, it wasn't unpleasant, in fact, it was very erotic especially over her nipples which were tight with anticipation anyway.It was a little scary being tied up like this, though she knew they would never hurt her, and it certainly was not what she expected, but the more she thought about it she realized this was typical Nick.She had misbehaved, and he had explicitly told her not to disappear. She was thankful that he hadn't just tipped her over his knee and spanked her straight off. Would he still do that? Hmm, perhaps she had better se
"So my darling, you managed to get yourself into this situation by not doing as you are told, if I tie you to the bed when we are busy at least, then we know you will be safe and not getting into trouble with strange men who think it's okay to put their hands on you."Nick paused that terrifying feeling wouldn't go away, it surfaced every time he thought of seeing Millie in the Uffizi, thank God they had been in time. He had no idea if those two men were sex traffickers, but he wasn't taking the risk that they were just tourists."People were probably very nice to you today, weren't they? The waiter at the restaurant, he couldn't do enough for you, is that right Millie, is that how it was?"Millie nodded her head."Let me tell you why, you wander away from us looking incredibly beautiful with most of your assets on show, and no one to protect you?" Nick shook his head in frustration "What are we supposed to do baby? Your skirt is short and flipping and sw
Nick threw the pebble onto the bed and began to loosen the ties holding Millie's ankles, and Gabriel loosened the other one. Nick held her while Gabriel untied the rope holding her wrists, and then lifted her and placed her Nick's lap. Gabriel rubbed her shoulders, squeezing the life back into them."Keep your eyes closed Millie it's going to be a very bright when the blindfold comes off." Gabriel undid the scarf and slid it from her face. Nick held her head to his chest so the light wouldn't hurt her eyes.Millie snuggled into Nick's chest."Are you okay sweetheart?" Nick said as he hugged her close.She nodded her head against his chest, "Exhausted," she murmured. Her body was still tingling from her orgasm, she had never felt anything quite like that, but then she hadn't had that many orgasms, but it would always be up there with the best of whatever she would get in the future. She felt Gabriel wrapping one of the furry throws that
They were all up early the next morning, Gabriel spent an hour on the phone to Tony asking where this journalist was, no one had contacted them at all, and if they didn't turn up soon, they were off out. He left him making phone calls to find out what was going on. They didn't have long to wait. A text said the journalist would be with them within the hour."Do you want me to disappear?" She asked NickNick shook his head, "No love, if she asks then you're my girlfriend, don't offer information though.""Okay." She pulled the dishwasher door open and loaded the breakfast things.Gabriel came into the kitchen with glasses from the drinks they'd had after Millie had gone to bed. They had discussed various strategies if Andrea mentioned Alicia. Still, in the end, they decided that if Andrea mentioned Alicia, they would say that it was a long time ago, and Gabriel hoped she was well.Millie leaned against the worktop "Did you sleep?""I slept be
The silence went on for an eternity.Millie noticed only two things in those moments, the smirk of self-satisfaction on Andrea's face. The other thing she noticed was the fury on Nick's face. Glancing at Gabriel, she could see the blood had drained from his face.Andrea had shown no compassion for the little girl who was holding her hand and clinging to Millie's leg. It was a good job, Millie thought, that the desk was between Nick and Andrea, or he might just have been more than vocal in his anger. Nick stood up, he glanced at Gabriel and walked over to Andrea.He shook his head as he walked over to Andrea, the fury he was feeling combined with his arrogant demeanour was frightening to watch, even Andrea moved back a step. Millie knew Nick was about to lose it, and she picked the little girl up and carried her out of the room. She could still hear Nick as she went down the hallway."So, you thought this was the very best way to do
"Katie, have you been to school?" Asked MillieKatie shook her head.Well, she understands what school is at least, thought Millie, "would you like to go to school so that you can play with the other children?"Katie shrugged again but nodded as well."You're not sure?She nodded.Millie was pouring her a drink of milk when the door opened, and Nick came in."Sweetheart, I'm sorry," he put his arms around her, "he just needed...something."Despite being cross with them, Millie couldn't help but put her arms around him, "Is he okay?"Nick pulled a face, "He's in shock, he's just discovered that's he's a father, he never knew anything about her," he nodded at the child, "Is she okay?"Millie pulled a face, "Well, you know all about that, but at least you got some idea about Jess before she turned up. This little one has been through a lot. Why is she here?"Nick looked over Millie's shoulder at the child who
