Chapter Six

Natalie fixed her wet pony tail as she stood by the couch, as much as she tried not to seem affected by his little game back there, well who was she kidding, the man was beyond gorgeous and he had a body that matched but he was playing her, seeing how far he could push her and he wasnt going to push her anymore, she had him, oh yes she had him..

"now that was a damn good shower" he said as he walked into the room, his hair still wet as she turned and looked at him, damn it why did he have to look so freaking good..

She kept herself composed and smiled at him.."a cold shower would do you good"

"Oh trust me I was able to keep myself occupied" he grinned as he walked in the room more.."too bad you didnt stay for the show, im sure you would of quite enjoyed it"

"sorry I stopped my voyuerism, its bad for business" she said sarcastically..

"How do you live your life with so many limits, must be hard for a woman like you" he raised an eyebrow as he moved over to the couch and sat down, staring at her the entire time..

"its a little thing called class and dignity, you should try it sometime" she said quickly as she sat on a nearby chair..

"i find it amazing how you still seem to feel you can pretend to be the innocent little school girl and as much as that role playing challenge amps me up" he smirked.."we both know that your just as hot and bothered as I am, maybe even more so"

Natalie rolled her eyes..."that may be true but then again the difference between us is that I have control even in an uncontrollable situation, you cant seem to stop chasing me like the boy you are" she smiled big..

"chasing?" he laughed.." is that what you call this, oh sweetheart if I truly wanted to have you back then, trust me, I would have had you and there would have been nothing unwilling about your body" he grinned devishly..

"wow so confident, do all the ladies throw their panties at you now?" she smiled big..

"thats cute, you got me natalie, you have unmanned me, now what will I do" he said sarcastically as he stood now, he was mocking her and proudly too, she felt her anger rising.."thats what your waiting for right, for me to give in, for me to beg you?" he smirked and then within seconds he was hovering over her in that chair..She gasped, surprised at his fast movement and then she silently cursed herself when he grinned even widder..He leaned down and put his hands on the arm of the chair, leaning down to her face.."the fun were gonna have and you dont even know it yet" he grinned and then he was walking across the room.."will you look at the time, we should be landing soon, drink?" he smiled at her and she just glared at him.."or not" he said as he poured himself a drink and then smiled as he casually drank it..

Natalie didnt say another word to him as the plane came to a landing, she just wanted to get the hell off of there and get this done and over with, the sooner the better..

She took the oppourtunity as he was talking to the pilot to get off of that stuffy jet. Milan was gorgeous this time of year she found out quickly. It was warm out and still dark, she looked at her watch, feeling a bit jet lagged as she tried to figure out the time difference. It was still morning there, early morning too, not even 5 am yet..

The airport looked deserted as she looked around the empty lot.."Buongiorno Principessa" John said as he walked over to her, a smile on his face..

Natalie rolled her eyes as she stood there.."let me guess were taking a helicopter" she said dryly as he smiled big now..

"On such a beautiful morning, I wouldnt think of it" he grinned as one of the luggage men came walking over but he was pushing something that he had removed from the back of the plane and her eyes got wide as she saw it, it was a damn motorcycle..

"in perfect condition Sir" the man smiled as he neared them..

"i see that, thank you Jacob" John grinned..

"Your joking right" Natalie said in shock as John looked at her and wiped the motorcycle with the sleve of his button down shirt..

"she's a beauty, isnt she" John continued..

"I hope your not thinking im getting on that damned thing" she said honestly, she was not a motorcycle chick and she wasnt about to start now..

"do you really want to have that fight right here , right now especially when in the end you will get on it" he said with a shake of his head..

"Your out of your mind, im not getting on that death trap" she said as she backed up from him..

"is that fear I hear, is the big bad Natalie actually scared" he smirked..

"alot of people dont like motorcycles" she crossed her arms over her chest..

"Your being absolutely serious, your scared" he said a bit shocked..

"i dont like motorcycles, ok...fine" she said as she backed up more..

"I will let you know that im a responsible driver" he smiled..

"yeah ok, im not going on it" she stated firmly..

"You really dont have a choice princess" he smirked..

"dont freaking call me princess ok, I dont like it and im not getting on it, im not and you cant make me" she stated flatly..

John stepped from the bike and over to her as she backed up more.."lets not make this difficult, its not even 5 am and I would like some coffee" he said with a tight smile..

"fine then you drive that thing and I will get a cab" she said quickly as she looked around and then began to walk..

"Your not going to find a cab natalie, you dont even speak italian" he called out but she kept walking, cursing under her breath, she wasnt getting on that damn death mobile with him.."your being really childish right now" he called out but she ignored him.."i will leave you here, dont test me"

She didnt say anything as she kept walking and flipped him off and then she heard the sound of the motorcycle starting up and she stopped walking and spun to face him, he was putting a helmet on and then driving over..She stepped back more.."last chance" he said through the helmet..

"peace out" she said as she spun from him and huffed and then he was flying past her on the bike as she gasped, he did it, he really did, he left her there in the middle of god knows where without even a wallet to her name..

Natalie manuvered her way through the large parking lot and to the edge of the grounds where there was an opening in the fence and she walked through, now this sucked cause she had no idea where she was and where the hell she was suppose to be going..

It was so dark out as she walked down what seemed like a deserted road, she was beyond pissed and a little more than nervous to be out there walking around, she didnt even have her knife on her, what if something happened? She pulled out her phone again for like the millionth time, no signal anywhere, she was half tempted to throw it when she heard the loud sound of a motorcycle coming down the road and she stopped as it drove up..John flipped up his helmet as he looked at her..She glared at him as she stood there, her hands on her hips..

"You know your really not going to do anyone any good if your a mangled mess on the road, lord knows what lurks in those woods" he raised an eyebrow at her.."ok listen I get it, you dont like bikes, but right now im all you got so your just gonna have to trust me"

"yep that doesnt make me feel any better" she said sarcastically as she stood there..

"I wont even go fast" he began as she rolled her eyes.."I wont, scouts honor" he said as he put his fingers up..

"Your not a boy scout" she said angrily..

"and you dont want to be road kill" he raised an eyebrow and just then the sound of a wolf howling was heard in the distance as she quickly spun around..

"Im sure fido would love some fresh american meat" he said as she looked at him and the howling happened again..

"damn it" she snapped angrily as she stomped her feet.."i dont like this, I dont" she said as she walked over to him..

"No one said you had to like it" he said as he took off the helmet and handed it to her, she huffed as she snatched it from him and roughly put it on, god she felt like she couldnt breath in that damn head trap.."come on my place isnt far" he said as he patted the seat on the bike behind him, she rolled her eyes even though she knew he couldnt see and then she got on the bike.."Now your gonna have to hold on" he said as he looked back at her and she looked away, he grabbed one hand of hers and yanked it close to him, essentially wrapping it around his waist and then he did the other as she huffed loudly.."now this isnt so bad, huh" he grinned as he revved the engine and she grabbed him harder without even thinking, he smiled and then took off as she held onto him for dear life..

The ride was surprisingly smooth once she finally opened her eyes. Her heart was thudding away heavily and she felt like she may have a heart attack but it was a smooth ride and atleast he couldnt talk right now, so that was good..

She held onto him tight, like death grip tight and part of wondered if this was exactlly what he wanted for her to be holding onto to him for dear life, the thought pissed her off cause he was getting what he wanted but damn it if he didnt feel good under her hands, too good..

The sight of a large house on top of what looked like a small mountain came into view as he sped towards it, the incline was a bit much and she found herself holding on even tighter as they pulled up the long driveway, finally resting at the top as the bike came to a halt. She was still holding on hard when she felt him tense under her hands and then his hands were on hers..It took her a moment to realize that they were indeed stopped and she immediately let go of him and attemtped to jump off the bike but her legs were shaking and she nearly fell as he grabbed her arm..

"alright there shaky, take it easy" he said as she tried to compose herself and then he was lifting the helmet off of her.."that wasnt too bad now was it" he smiled, she couldnt even find the words to say as she pushed past him and stormed up to the door..John walked up next to her..

"I need the bathroom" she said quickly and impatiently..

"Ok well you know were not on the bike anymore you can breathe now" he smirked..

"or I could throw up right on you" she said sarcastically.."bathroom, now" she said more firmly as her stomach turned in knots..Before he could say anything the door opened an a young brunette girl stood there, she looked barely twenty one and like a damn supermodel..

"Signore Mcbain your early" the girl said overly excited as she stood there and Natalie couldnt help but wonder what exactlly this girl was to him..

"ah Isabella looking as magnifico as ever" he smiled softly at the girl who visibly blushed and natalie rolled her eyes..

"i hate to break up the cute reunion" Natalie snapped at John and then looked at the girl..

"Isabella can you please show my guest Natalie to the bathroom" John began..

"Of course Signore" Isabella smiled shyly.."Signora natalie, this way"

"its about damn time" natalie snapped as she walked into the house with annoyance..Once more she was hit with the esquizette beauty of all things Mcbain, again this house was over the top like the one in lanview but this one even more so.. The floors were lined with italian marble and the décor matched..

"this way" Isabella said snapping her from her thoughts as she quickly followed the young girl down a hallway and then she stopped at a door.."do you need any help?" the girl asked with a smile and natalie didnt even answer her as she pushed her way inside and not a second too late cause the next thing she saw was the bottom of the porcelin toilet as she lost the contents of her stomach..

After her greeting with the toilet natalie stood and quickly ran water over her face, her legs were still vibrating from the ride there and she studied her appearance in the mirror, she looked like shit and she quickly fixed her pony tail.. Seconds later she was coming back out of the bathroom as she walked down the long hallway, he really spared no expense with this house either she thought to herself as she walked and looked at the numerous paintings on the wall but it was the sound of laughing that caught her attention but not just any laughing, it was a girls laugh and she followed it..

Sitting at a kitchen nook sat John and across from him was Isabella and she was laughing as he spoke something to her in italian and lightly touched her arm, definitely a touch of someone who knew this girl, Natalie was surprised at the anger that began to build in her.. Isabella was lost in her own little world, laughing and giggling at whatever the hell he was saying and finally Natalie cleared her throat loudly as John looked over at her..

"I will make you some breakfast Signore" Isabella said quickly as she got up from the table and rushed into another room..

"wow sleeping with the help" Natalie said sarcastically, she couldnt help it..

"what?" John said with an amused look..

"you know whatever, you do whatever" Natalie rolled her eyes as she stood there..

"Your upset?" he said as he stood now..

"actually im sick to my stomach" she said quickly.."from the ride here" she added quickly..

"does it bother you thinking that I have taken Isabella to bed" he raised an eyebrow..

"eww like I really care" she said sarcastically as she walked past him..

"natalie if you must know" he began as she looked at him now..

"I need clothes" she said quickly, she honestly didnt want to hear anything more and definitely not about the help.."and since you took me here without letting me get my stuff from the car" she said a bit angrily..

"and I told you I will take care of that" he began as he walked over to her.."isabella is a sweet girl, she has been with me for awhile" he began..

Natalie put her hand up now.."seriously I dont care"

"well it would seem like you do" he raised an eyebrow..

"Oh I hate to burst that ever growing bubble of yours but no, I dont" she said quickly.."i need to get clothes" she said again..

"fine, we will go after breakfast" he said as he took a seat back at the table..

"I wanna go alone" natalie said quickly, she really needed time to clear her head, to get ready for tonight, she had to have her head in the game..

"well thats not happening" he said dryly as he sipped some coffee.."come sit, have a cup its the best in Milan" he smiled..

Now natalie wanted nothing more than to tell him to stick it right about now but who was she kidding the coffee smelt amazing so she walked over to the table and grabbbed the second cup, ignoring him as she sipped it, damn it was good coffee.."Good?"

"You know I dont need a babysitter" she said quickly as she ignored his questioning..

"and your also in a foreign country and you dont speak the native" he said dryly again..

"Im sure I could get by" she said with a roll of her eyes, she couldnt get the image of Isabella out of her head, the girl looked only twenty one maybe and he said she had been with him for awhile, what kind of freak was he?

"You wont win here with me Natalie, im going with you and that is that" he said as he sipped his coffee..

"oh and what do you plan on doing, driving me around town on that thing again" she snapped angrily, god she was so mad right now..

"why are you so mad" he said as he looked at her..

"Mad? Im not mad" she said angrily.."i didnt think I would have a babysitter twenty four seven"

"well you are on my clock, we'll leave after breakfast, isabella makes a mean omlette" he grinned..

"oh great" natalie bit her tongue as she sipped the coffee..

"come on loosen up natalie, this is Milan" he smiled at her now.."Most people would be thrilled to be here"

"well im sorry im not one of your blonde bimbos" she said sarcastically..

"are you implying ive brought other women here, does that bother you" he smirked..

"as if, seriously John, your life is yours" she said sarcastically as she walked across the room..

"You know with all this pent up tension you have" he began as she spun and faced him..

"i said im fine ok" she snapped and he put his hands up..

"fine, your fine, im fine" he said through tight lips..

"good now drop it, where is this food anyway" she huffed, she could already see that this was going to be one hell of a trip..

"Let me go check on that for you alright princess" he said sarcastically and then he was leaving the room, natalie downed her coffee and huffed again, yep this was going to be just great!

Natalie ate in quiet as they sat in a large dining room, she hated to admit it but Isabella could make a mean omlette not to mention she was absolutely starved at the moment that she would of eaten anything. John sat reading a paper, apparently ignorning her as well and she was just fine with that.. She finished up her last bit of eggs and toast, the coffee really was out of this world good..

"feeling better?" he said as he continued to look at the paper, she didnt answer as he put the paper down now.."why dont I just get the car then" he said and then he was leaving with more than an annoyed look on his face and Natalie tried to act as if she wasnt bothered by it, by all of this but who was she kidding..

"was it good Signora" Isabella snapped her out of her thoughts as she came into the room and smiled softly..

"yeah thanks" natalie said quickly, she didnt want to have any sort of conversation with this girl..Apparently Isabella caught on quick as she cleared the table and natalie quickly got up, she suddenly felt bad, it wasnt this girls fault that her boss just happened to John Mcbain.."thank you Isabella" she finally said as the girl grabbed the dishes and smiled..

"any friend of Signores" Isabella said sweetly and then she was leaving the room as natalie stood there, she was 100% sure that Signore had slept with little isabella and the thought did something to her stomach...

"You ready?" John snapped her from her thoughts as she stood there and looked at him, damn it why did he have to be such an asshole..

"a car, right?" she said quickly..

"i really do hope your gonna drop this attitude by tonight" he said dryly as he turned from her..

"trust me if there is anything I can do well, its my job" she said bitterly..

"suit yourself but its your neck out there tonight and as much as I promised your uncle I would keep you safe, well" he turned and looked at her now..

"I said I got this ok" she snapped as she walked past him, she just wanted to get this over and done with already!
