Love Like War

@ FallenHope95

A bit of a smile came over Matteos face at Stella's reaction. He was glad that she liked it because it would be some time before she was able to take it off. This was something that he wanted her to be wearing every day, all of the time if he could manage it. Matteo could understand the necklace needing to be taken off at some points but he would ensure that she was always wearing it when out on a job, or when he was worried that something might happen. "I am glad that it has made you happy," Matteo murmured to her with a bit of a grin. "I guess you know what it is then? That it is a submissive necklace."

As she asked for his assistance to put it on, Matteo took out a small key from his pocket. "Of course, love," Matteo said as he moved the necklace around her neck and then put together the chains on the back. With the lock on it, Matteo used his key to lock the necklace on the back, making it almost impossible to take off without the key. Of course, she could always try to break it but it was unlikely that Stella would be able to do that by herself since it was made out of metal. "Most won't know what it stands for, so no need to worry about that. But it's a day collar that only I can unlock for you. A symbol that you are mine and only mine."

Matteo pressed a kiss to her cheek once the collar was locked on. "Go look at it in the mirror." The man slipped the key into his pocket before lightly pressing his hand against her back, encouraging the young woman to take a look. He really hoped that she liked the idea of the day collar. This wasn't something that Matteo wanted to force her to do. He wanted her to want to submit to him in this way, in every way really. And he didn't want to seem suspicious but telling her that she had to wear it.

"Submissive collar?" Stella murmured quietly, what she heard confusing her slightly and she glanced over her shoulder slightly to catch a glance at Matteo. Her lips pursing a little bit as she listened to him. Glad that he had explained to her. "Oh." She murmured, the edge of her lips slowly moving into a small smile. "I'm only yours," Stella murmured quietly and looked ahead. Her posture turning straighter as she allowed Matteo to lock the necklace. The idea of showing off to others that she's only his caused her heart to flutter.

"I like the sound of the day collar," Stella murmured quietly as Matteo finished locking the collar. A small giggle escaping from her lips as Matteo placed a kiss on her cheek. "Yes, sir," Stella said quietly as she cast him a small smile before moving towards the nearest mirror. As she stood in front of the mirror, Stella's right hand slowly moved to lightly brush against the necklace. "It's so pretty." She murmured quietly, as she admired her look in the mirror with the necklace on.

Slowly, Stella turned towards Matteo and smiled. "Thank you," Stella said quietly, raising her hand to her necklace once more. "It's really pretty. I love it." Stella started to walk towards Matteo once more and leaned up to press another small kiss to his lips. "It's perfect." She murmured quietly.

Just as the couple seemed to be finished with their moment. A staff member lightly knocked on the wall and cleared their throat. "Sir, a Mr.Novikov is outside. Saying that he needs to speak to you." The man said, his gaze focused on Matteo. Novikov was a Russian informant for Matteo who used to visit quite often, but not since Stella had arrived. So, if Matteo accepted the company, then it would be a true test as Novikov was a terrifying man.

@ FallenHope95

A long silence fell over Matteo as he considered what to do. He wasn't sure if he wanted Stella to have to deal with Mr. Novikov yet. Mostly because he was not sure if his darling fake fiancee could handle it. And he had no interest in upsetting the Russian informant who had truly paid his weight in gold with what he offers. Matteo glanced down at Stella, who seemed to still be beaming with happiness from the day's events. Well, surely this woman could be in no better mood. Perhaps now was the best time to see how he would react.

"Bring him in." Matteo told them. Once the door to the dining room closed, Matteo turned back to Stella. "Sit down and be quiet. If he talks to you, be polite and smile. Otherwise, focus on eating your food." The man motioned for Stella to sit back down in her chair. He hoped that Stella and Mr. Novikov would not speak at all but he was unsure of what the man would do. So it was better to be safe than sorry and tell Stella what he expected from her. Besides, the woman had a business to finish up.

Matteo also headed over to his meal and sat back down in his chair. Though he was only able to get a bite or two in before Mr. Novikov walked into the dining room. At which point, the man got onto his feet and headed over to him. "Good evening, Mr. Novikov." Matteo said as he reached over to shake the man's hand. Once they had done so, he motioned to the table. "I am sure that you have information for me but would you like to eat?"

No matter what Mr. Novikov said, Matteo headed over to his own chair to continue his dinner. He could listen to the man and eat at the same time.

@ Sweet.Persephone
The fact that Matteo accepted this Mr.Novikov into the house after they shared an amazing moment together hurt Stella a little bit. She wanted to just spend some time with Matteo. To have a moment of peace with her fiance. Lately, he's been busy with work and had been too busy to spend time with just her. Stella wanted to open her mouth and make her complaint known but instead figured that it'd be better for a discussion later. So, pursing her lips together Stella quietly went towards her seat and sat down once more. Eating as quietly as she could.

Not as soon as they both were seated, Stella looked up and watched as a terrifying-looking man came into the dining room. He had a shaved head, and tattoo's all over from what Stella could make out. Although a lot appeared to be covered by the dark jeans and leather jacket that he seemed to be wearing.

"No, I'm good." The Russian man spoke his accent heavy on each word that he spoke. Keeping her gaze lowered, Stella focused on trying to drown out the man. Scared that if she held eye contact he'd lunge across the table or something and attack her. "I bring news of the Italian family Regio." Mr.Novakov murmured quietly, casting a glance towards Stella. "They've teamed up with the Bianchi bastards to look for their fallen star." Novikov's eyes narrow as the man focused on Stella, who wasn't paying attention as she was focused on her food. "It seems like you've found yourself a treasure." The man spoke in Russian as he slowly looked towards Matteo. A sadistic grin slowly displaying across his lips.

"I'd be careful my friend, people are rallying together," Novakov said as he stood up from his seat and pushed it in. "Shipments are coming on time this week, we should be good with our little friends as long as payment is seen." Novakov glanced towards Stella, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly once more. "Be careful Carboni, messing with wolves might get you bitten." With that, Novakov turned and headed towards the door. Not one to be dismissed by someone he works with.

@ FallenHope95

Once the man left, Matteo could not help the smirk that came over his face. Of course, the Bianchi family was furious about their missing daughter. It was just satisfactory to know that he was the one behind their anger, behind their attempt to search for her. Little did they know that she was currently in his grasp. This was not a secret that Matteo would be able to keep forever, but one that he wanted to himself for a little longer. Besides, once they found out, this war was going to be brought to an entirely different level. Not that Matteo cared as long as he won.

"What did you think of him?" Matteo asked as he looked over at Stella. Even though she was meant to keep to herself, he was sure that she at least took a look at the man who had walked in. And she certainly heard everything that he had said. Part of him had hoped that she would remember something with the mention of Bianchi but it seemed that the young woman was too focused on following his orders. It was very well... He didn't want her remembering the full truth anyway. Just bits and pieces that would be helpful to him. "Or what did you think about what he said?"

This might result in an interesting answer depending on what his good girl said, and how much she was paying attention to what was around her. His eyes shifted down to the food on his plate before he took another few bites. Though, the man then set his fork down and leaned back into his chair as he watched Stella finish eating. "We should head to bed soon. It might be a busy day tomorrow and I just might need you to complete another job for me since you did so well today."

@ Sweet.Persephone
Pursing her lips together, Stella stayed quiet as she let the conversation that she had just overheard run through her mind. The words Bianchi, fallen star, and treasure were the ones at the front though. Sure, Stella heard them speaking about people rallying together and shipments of who knows what but. Why? Why were those select words to important to her that she couldn't get them out of her mind? Stella felt her hunger slowly disappear, not that she had much when that scary guy appeared anyway, but still. It grew even less until Stella found herself just pushing things around on her plate.

"hmm?" Stella murmured quietly as she glanced up towards Matteo. Her bright green eyes blinking innocently as she tried to register what he had asked, only to be completely oblivious about the question. It wasn't till he rephrased himself that Stella realized what he was asking her. "He spoke about me, didn't he?" The words escaped from Stella's lips before she could stop them, her mind catching up a moment to lace and Stella found herself pursing her lips together as she tried to figure out how she had come to that conclusion. It didn't make sense, yet. It did? The ring on her finger, the words engraved on the inside floating through her mind next. My star.

Raising her right hand to her forehead, Stella could feel a migraine forming and lightly rubbed her temples with her pointer finger and thumb. "Hmm, yes. I think I'll take a bath before bed though." Stella said quietly as she glanced towards Matteo and offered him a small smile before standing up. Usually, she'd wait for Matteo to stand and join her as they head to their bedroom. Tonight though, tonight was different. She didn't wait for him, she didn't even speak to him as she went upstairs to their room and headed to the bathroom to run a bath. Filling the thing with her favorite lavender bubble bath before stepping back to watch the thing fill up.

Pulsed of her headache was still banging around Stella's head as she slowly stripped from Matteo's shirt and stepped into the hot water. A small hiss escaped from Stella as the heat burned for a moment before she got used to it. Then, she slowly moved to lay back in the tub. Stretching her legs out in front of her as she closed her eyes. Trying to relax as she let things run through her head. Trying to solve this puzzle.

@ FallenHope95

Matteo waited for Stella to walk out of the room before a deep frown came over his face. He had not been expecting that, for her to realize that the man had been speaking about her. It wasn't a good thing. He wanted some of her memories to come back, ones that would help him. But none of the ones that would end up Matteo getting bit in the ass by this risk he had been taking. Perhaps, Matteo would have been better off just killing her in the beginning.... perhaps. But he couldn't deny that this relationship had its benefits. And still part of him thought that he could continue to push this even further.

So he would wait and see what happened. No reason to get over zealous. Sometimes, the best thing that one could do was sit back and relax. Just watch the waves as they rolled by. So, Matteo did just that. He would see what would happen with Stella. But, for tonight, he took plenty of time to relax in the living room, with the game on. Hours, really, before he made his way back up to his bedroom.

When he arrived there, Matteo pulled his clothes off and dropped them to the side of the bed. Usually, he would throw them in a basket but not tonight. Instead, the man just moved into the bed and rested down into his mattress and pillow before looking over at Stella, who was laying on the other side. His fingers reached out and he slowly ran a hand through her hair before letting out a sigh. Hopefully, he was not making a huge mistake. But only time could tell him that.

@ Sweet.Persephone
After her bath last night, Stella was out like a light as soon as she laid her head down on the bed. Her body just sinking down into the mattress. Even the movement from Matteo coming to bed hadn't woken her up. Although out of instinct, she did still move towards him for warmth. Her conditioned mind seeking him out even in her unconscious state. He was her life, her love, her everything. Even when she was stressed out, he was hers. She needs him.

When morning came, Stella felt herself waking up and couldn't help the small groan that escaped from her as she stretched her arms above her head. Her little toes pointing outwards as she stretched her legs. That had to have been one of the deepest sleep that she's had in a while and interestingly enough. It helped her think things through. She was no longer upset with Matteo, not that she actually was upset with him, to begin with.

Releasing a small sigh, Stella moved like she had yesterday. The shirt of his she wore to bed riding up a little bit as she moved on top of Matteo. Except instead of grinding against him, she leaned down and pressed a small kiss to his lips. Then his chin and along his neck before she moved to lay down on him. Her hands resting under her chin as she waited for Matteo to wake up on his own.

@ FallenHope95

Before Matteo was fully awake, he noticed the weight of Stella on top of him. And once he opened his eyes, he was able to see her casually resting, leaning against his body. He let out a pleasant hum, followed but a long yawn. The man's hands slowly slid from the bed and moved up along the top of her thighs. "Good morning." He mumbled to her, his hands continuing up until they were resting on her hips. "What are you up to?"

He shifted in the bed under her a bit until his hardening cock pressed against Stella's hips. As per usual, Matteo did get a bit hard in the morning. Sometimes, he ignored it and went about his day. Usually, though, he would have Stella resolved the issue for him. Matteo figured that he had trained the woman well enough for her to do what he wanted without him saying a word. And he would wait to see if that was the case. If not, then Matteo would be happy enough to flip her onto her back and fuck the woman until his seed was deep inside of her and then carry on with his day.

"How are you feeling this morning?" The man asked, looking over her face for a moment. The events of last night were coming back along his mind, making him think about what the man and Stella had said. How much of last night conversation did Stella carry with her and did she remember anything because of it? It seemed not much if he was still unharmed from her. Surely, once Stella found out the truth, she would want him dead. Even in close proximity, Matteo did not think she could accomplish it though.

@ Sweet.Persephone
A small hum escaped from Stella as she noticed Matteo waking up. The fluttering of his eyes open, and the movement of his hands along her body being dead giveaways. "Just watching you sleep," Stella murmured quietly as she leaned down slightly to place a small kiss on his chest under her hands before resting her chin on her arms once more. A sigh escaping her as she slowly trained her right hand away from under her chin and down his chest. Then slowly slid her hand under his boxers.

"Fine, my head doesn't hurt anymore," Stella murmured quietly as she wrapped her hand around his slightly hard length and then started to tease him with slow pumps. "I had a dream though," Stella murmured quietly as she slowly sat up so that she could pump him a little bit harder, how he likes it. Her thumb running against his tip in a teasing manner as well. "Hmm, can I suck you off today?" Stella asked, as she slowly licked her lips in what she'd hoped was a flirty motion. Usually, she'd ride him or Matteo would fuck her into the mattress, but to start this morning off she wanted to just please him.

Raising her left hand, Stella lightly touched the necklace that Matteo had gotten for her. "You know I won't ever betray you. Right? Even if my family disapproves of our relationship." Stella didn't wait for Matteo to speak as she slowly moved down his body. She kept her light eyes on his as she pulled the blankets and his boxers down to let his morning wood free. Then, she leaned down and slowly wrapped her lips around his length. Taking in just his tip as she started to suck him lightly as her hand continued to pump him.

@ FallenHope95

A low groan left Matteo as Stella gripped onto his cock. Just let the good girl she was, always aiming to please him. It was amazing how much Stella learned and adapted during her time with him. But she had always been so willing to please him, right from the start, which made teaching Stella everything so goddamn easy. "Glad to hear that your head doesn't hurt." He mumbled as his fingers pressed harder into her skin. "And what dream did you have, love?" He asked her. Not that he cared much in that moment what she had been dreaming about. Matteo just wanted the pleasure that Stella was going to provide.

"Yes, suck me," Matteo mumbled to him as his hips thrusted upwards into her hands a few times before he forced himself to rest back into the bed to just let Stella do her job. And what a good job she always did. The man reached up, running a hand through his hair as he let out a long, breath of air. Though his mood started to shift as Stella said she wouldn't betray him. It was just such an odd thing to say at a time like this. And he couldn't help but get suspicious.

Matteo started to look over her, as if evaluating Stella before nodding. "I know that." Matteo mumbled to her. "But what makes you think that your family disapproves?" The man watched as she started down his body until her lips were around his cock. The man let out another groan, slightly louder than before. Though his hand shifted away from her thighs and went down until he was gripping onto her hair, like he usually did. But, this time, the man was also preparing himself to throw her off in case he had to. Matteo wanted her, wanted her lips, wanted her to satisfy him. But what she was saying... well it was worrying.

@ Sweet.Persephone
Listening to Matteo, Stella only managed a couple of good sucks off his cock before she felt his hands wrapping into her hair. Offering her a little bit of pain with the pleasure she was feeling by sucking him off as she did often. Although, she could hear the worry in his voice as he continued to speak. The tone of his voice causing her to not feel good about sucking him off anymore. She felt like she needed to explain to him what she dreamt, Or rather remembered?

Slowly, Stella pulled her mouth away from Matteo's length but kept pumping him slowly with her hand. "In my dream," Stella said quietly, her lips moving into a small frown. Leaning down, Stella ran her tongue along the base of his cock to his tip before starting to pump him once more. "I couldn't really see much, but I heard a man yelling. I couldn't really make out what, but I heard your name and I-. My heart hurt. Then, there was another man's voice, I don't know who he was but I-I was scared. So, I'm sorry." Stella said quietly, stopping all of her emotions as she sat up slowly and rubbed her eyes that we're slowly starting to blur with tears.

"I really don't know what I dreamed, but the first voice sounded older so I assumed it had to be my dad, but I don't know. I'm sorry, I was just assuming things. Assuming that my family disapproves was probably really stupid of me. I don't know why I was thinking that. I'm sorry for ruining the mood, Matteo."

@ FallenHope95

Once Stella pulled her mouth away from his cock, his hand on her hair started to relax. He was still ready to fight her if he needed to. There was nothing that Matteo was going to allow stand in the way of his survival. Any other issue, Matteo was sure that he could resolve. But his death would be something that would be forever lasting. Though, with Stella seeming to shift moods, Matteo started to think that this wasn't what he thought it would be. She wasn't about to blindside him with knowing the complete true... No, maybe this was something else.

And those thoughts were confirmed the more she spoke. The dream that Stella was revealing to him was too blurry to fully understand. At least, it was for her. He only released her head completely when the woman stopped jerking him off and started to cry. His hand dropped to his side as he continued to watch and listen, trying to determine what he should do or say. This was a situation that he had gotten stressed about and now he needed to calm himself back down.

After a long breath, Matteo pushed himself up into the bed until he was sitting up. His hands reached over and started to wipe away the tears from her eyes. "Shhh, love." He whispered to her. "Calm down. It is okay, it was just a dream." Matteo leaned over and pressed a soft kiss against the top of her head before he leaned back. "There was a point where your family wasn't happy. That they didn't approve of our relationship. But that is something that is long behind us." He lied to her. "Everything is okay. No need to cry."

@ Sweet.Persephone
Feeling the soft touch of Matteo's thumbs as he brushed her tears away caused Stella to unconsciously flinch. She wasn't expecting his soft touch, she was actually expecting for him to be mad that she had remembered something so terrible. Her family arguing about him. Why they'd not like him was beyond her. She loved him, Matteo cared for her. He went out of his way for her so often as well. He was the best thing she could have ever asked for. She loved him so much, and it hurt to hear the yelling in her dream.

Listening to Matteo, Stella couldn't help the last couple of sniffles as they fought to come to the surface. Her head raising to look at him as he spoke, before slowly nodding her head. Glad that he was saying something that she had hoped to hear. Matteo wouldn't lie to her. He's been there the whole way for her.

Raising her hands, Stella rubbed the last of the tear from her eyes as she took in a couple of deep breaths to try and calm herself down. It took her a couple of moments before it actually worked, but once it did. Stella felt like she needed to make it up to Matteo. So, while Matteo was laying on the bed once more. Stella reached out slowly and started to slowly pump him once more. He was still hard, which was so like him. The man could get hard in any sort of situation.

"I love you, Teo." Stella said quietly as she leaned over and wrapped her lips around his tip once more and started to slowly suck him. Then, started to take more of him into her mouth than before as she started to deep throat him the way that he liked it. Usually, he'd be sitting when she did this to him, but she thought that she'd owe him and try since he comforted her.

@ FallenHope95

It was an understatement to say that Matteo was relieved that Stella did not know the truth. If she had, that would have been a true lost, and maybe even a disaster. Like, Stella getting out of here and running back to her family would have been a major problem for the man. And, even if she didn't make it out before Matteo killed her, he would have been disappointed. So far, she had brought a lot to the table without even realizing it. The way she talked to his clients made them drool over her, to the point where they got into business with him. Plus, Matteo loved the sex. Loved the fact that he had someone to mold into whatever he wanted... and he was just beginning to get into the fun parts. He wanted to twist her so completely.

Matteo slowly ran a hand through her hair before bringing his hand down to cup her cheek. "I love you too, Stel." He whispered to her. Once the woman started down to go back to pleasuring him, his hand slid from her hair. Feeling her lips around his tip caused Stella to melt back against the headboard of the bed and look down at Stella hungrily. And, just like the good little slut she was, she went right back to sucking him off.

"What a good girl," Matteo purred to her as he relaxed back with a pleased hum. Once she started to take more of his manhood, Matteo let out a small groan, his hips grinding up into her lips for a moment before he forced himself back down and to relax. Stella had this. But as she continued to do it, Matteo found it harder and harder to control himself. Soon he was beginning to thrust his hips up with her movements.

"Fuck, that feels so good." He groaned, feeling himself getting close to climax. Matteo reached over and grabbed onto the woman's hair tightly. "Do you want me to cum on your face or do you want to swallow my seed, slut?"

@ Sweet.Persephone
Knowing that she was pleasing Matteo so well always caused this sort of joy to swim inside of Stella. Knowing that he'd go through hoops for her since the accident. He was there for her every step of the way. He deserved to be pleasured to the best of her abilities. To be treated like the king that he was. To her, he was sometimes thought of as a god, she looked up to him so much. Whenever something caused her to feel the slightest bit anxious, she just had to look to Matteo and he'd swoop in and save her. He'd always save her, Stella knew that.

A breathy sigh escaped from Stella's soft lips as she felt Matteo's fingers twist into her hair. Causing her movements to halt as she looked up at him through half-dazed eyes. Her airway was filled with his dick so breathing was difficult at times. Not to mention when he bucked his hips like he was fucking her into the bed. Allowing a small hum to vibrate around Matteo's tip as she slowly pulled away from him. Stella made sure to lip around his tip to not allow any pre-cum to escape before she looked up towards the man she owed her life to.

"Cum on me, Teo," Stella said quietly, a small soft smile playing along her lips. "I want to watch as you erupt in pleasure and paint me. Cover me." Stella said quietly, saying some dirty words she'd heard him speak to her but unsure if she was turning him on with the dirty talk like he always seemed to manage with her. Leaning down, Stella pressed a small kiss to the top of Matteo's cock. Her bright green eyes focused on his mesmerizing hazel orbs. "I want to feel your seed soaking into my skin Teo."

@ FallenHope95

His hand in her hair tightened immensely as Stella started to talk dirty to him. He was so close to cumming that it was unbelievable to Matteo that he was still on edge at all. Though the moment she said that she wanted to feel his seed soak her skin, Matteo came. He came hard. His cum squirted from the tip of his cock, all over the woman's face until she was truly soaked with his cum. The man let out a gasp as he reached orgasm.

Once the feeling of pure pleasure started to leave his body, Matteo leaned into the bed with a sigh of relief. This was exactly what he first wanted when he decided to try and toy with Stella. Now it had turned into so much more than that, but his original goal was still there and strong. His hands slowly dropped from her hair and the man looked over his little toy, looking at the cum all over her face. A bit of a smile came over his.

"You look so pretty like that," Matteo murmured to her before he moved his hands behind his head. "You should go get cleaned up. Though try not to take too long, I do still have to get ready for work, love."

@ Sweet.Persephone
A small hum escaped from Stella as she slowly sat back on her knees. Her right hand moved up to scoop some of Matteo's cum that was on her cheek and slowly licked it off her fingers. Making sure to look at Matteo as she did so. A small teasing smile playing upon her lips. "Hmm, maybe I should take my time. I kinda like the idea of keeping you in this bed all day." Stella said, offering a small grin. "We could play all day." Staying in all day would be the best day ever for Stella, but sadly, she knew that Matteo wouldn't be able to. He was a boss and needed to manage things. So regardless, Stella slowly crawled off the bed and went to get washed up for the day.

----

Once Stella was showered and [url=]dressed[/url], she was completely ready for the day she headed out of the bathroom. A small hum escaping her as she swayed her hips in a teasing way. Today may have started off terribly, but she was determined to make the rest of it good. No dwelling on negatives is Stella's thing, she always likes to find good in situations. Even if it hurts to do so.

"Matteo," Stella said quietly as she walked towards the bed where Matteo was waiting for her. "Do you think we could do something fun tonight? Go out somewhere?" Stella asked, laying on the bed on her stomach. Her wet hair framing her face as she looked towards her fiance. Her eyelashes fluttering as she waited for a reply. Hoping he'd be down to do something with her later because as much as she loved just having sex at home as well as his work. Stella kinda craved going out, doing something. Dinner, a movie, heck she'd be down to go to a strip club with him as long as it got her out of the house.

@ FallenHope95

When he heard Stella getting out of the bathroom, Matteo sat up in the bed. It was time for him to get ready for work. Though before his feet even hit the floor, Stella was asking if they could do something tonight. After work, for him. The man stayed quiet for a long moment, thinking over the day's schedule. His eyes then lifted back up to her, smiling warmly at Stella. "Yes, we can go do something fun. I will try to get home early as well to ensure that we have plenty of time.

With that decided, Matteo started off towards the bathroom. Though he stopped for a moment, looking back at Stella for a moment. Matteo was often the one to determine what they would do. He had their dinner plans, balls, and other events. It was coming to him that Matteo didn't really know what Stella would want to do, if given the option.

"You should decided what we do, where we go tonight. If you need someone to set up reservations, contact my assistant. Pick whatever you want to do." Without waiting for an answer, Matteo continued into the bathroom to shave and shower. His beard needed a trim, that was for sure.

@ Sweet.Persephone
Surprise washed over Stella as Matteo spoke. Her lips slowly parting as she watched Matteo. She was not expecting him to allow her that much freedom. She wasn't a toy or anything, but Matteo liked to take charge and Stella didn't mind following his lead. Especially because it usually leads to something fun. So, when she was given the possibility to make the plans then she was thrown out of her comfort zone. "O-Okay?" Stella said quietly, her voice a small squeak.

Slowly, Stella moved into a sitting position as she waited for Matteo to come out of the bathroom. He told her multiple times already that he had plans for her to help him today. So, she wasn't sure if he wanted her to come to his office or if she was going to be sent on this little job or whatever it was that he had for her.

As she waited, Stella thought about what they could do for some fun. Stella was curious about going to the beach. She heard a lot of guests at Matteo's hotel talking about it, so that could be fun. Except it was kinda open and she didn't want anything to happen to her Matteo. Dinner at a nice restaurant wasn't going to be much fun because they go out to eat quite often. A small hum escaped from Stella before she finally got an idea. She'd like to go to a club and do some dancing. That'll be what they do, a nice dinner and then going out for drinks and some fun.
