Hide The Secrets novel Chapter 2

When I come out of my state I notice that Harriet is speaking too Javier and she leans over the bar and kisses him on the cheek. I wonder... are they together? Then she replies...

"Yeah that is ok, look after her because I don't care who you think you are or powerful you might be, I will hunt you down and castrate you with a butter knife!" She makes the threat and I know she is not joking, if anyone hurt my little sister I think I'd do the same. Harriet looks at Grace who I'm sure is asleep on the bar with her head resting in the crook of her elbow, she hands me a slip of paper "this is Grace's address" then she whispers in Grace's ear "Goodnight Sleeping Beauty..." and heads back towards Javier one again.

I am sure that Grace is completely gone and needs her bed so I thank Javier and Harriet, pay my tab and place my suit jacket in the crook of my arm before sliding my arms around Grace. I left her, bridal style, out of the stool. She stirs slightly before muttering something, a something that I didn't catch, and snuggles back down into my chest, clutching at my shirt.

I carry her out to my car and place her in the passenger seat before searching my suit jacket for the slip of paper that Harriet had given me. I can't find it, but I also can't leave Grace alone in this empty parking lot to get the address from Harriet. So instead, I get in the drivers side and text Javier.

Jav,

Would you mind telling Harriet I've taken Grace back to my apartment? I lost the address, so I will take care of her and drop her off tomorrow morning at their apartment.

Thanks,

Matteo.

I glance at the sleeping beauty in my passenger seat, the moonlight illuminates her perfect features. I smile, start the engine before driving out the parking lot and to my apartment.

Matteo's POV

The engine roar echoes throughout the underground parking structure of my building causing Grace to stir. She wakes up and rubs her eyes.

"Where are we?" She asks, nervously.

"We are at my apartment building"

"Oh..." is her simple reply.

We reach the elevator and after all the shit I've been through, I've decided. Fuck it. I want a want night stand, one to fucking remember and this guy apparently feels the same way. I look at the bulge in his pants. Wow. We ride the elevator to the penthouse and once the doors close, I turn to him, slide my hands over his abs and chest, lock my arms around his neck and capture his lips with mine. He takes control and spins us around so that I am pinned against the elevator wall. We continue kissing as He slides his thigh between my legs and my throbbing core demands contact. So, I begin to grind on his leg, I continue until Ive almost reached my climax but Matteo removes his thigh.

"Now, now... no need to rush, I have lots of ideas on how I'm going to draw out your pleasure" this causes another rush of warmth to pool between my legs and I'm gasping for air.

We move out of the elevator and he pulls me by my hand through the penthouse. The kitchen is immaculate. The countertops are shiny grey and black marble, the fixings are all made of stainless steel. The cupboard doors are sleek white and this kitchen is every girl's dream. Matteo catches me staring and says "my plans include you sat on that counter, naked, with my face between your thighs" My stomach rolls nervously but also from excitement. I never had sex other than in missionary position, never any foreplay or anything. Daniel never liked being adventurous.

Matteo pulls me through the living area and into a bedroom, it smells like him only 10x stronger. This is his lair. He turns to me and begins kissing me again, passionately. It is safe to say that I was busy all night, and when sleep finally came I was exhausted.

Grace's POV.

The sunlight beams straight into the room, the position of the sun indicates it is very early morning. Then it dawns on me, I'm not in my room. I'm above the New York City skyline. In a penthouse?!
