《Hush | on hold》Chapter 17: permission

J e y r i
It feels like I hadn't laughed in ages but, it was more like only a couple of days. We all agreed to stay in Melanie's room together just because it felt much safer that way, so that's what we did. The night grew in us and everyone ended up falling asleep but I just couldn't seem to close my eyes.
I stood out on the balcony overlooking the front of the house, it was connected to her room by a glass sliding door. I sat down in the chair by the railing and let out a sigh as the wind blew in my direction.
Giovanni hadn't come back yet. Am I worried for him? I don't know, maybe...
I hummed to myself and stood up before leaning against the railing. We weren't that high up, just two stories up. I hadn't seen the rest of the house yet but there was about five more floors at least.
"Can't sleep?" I jumped slightly but let out a sigh when I saw Astarte walk up to me. She stood next to me and smiled, closing her eyes. "Me neither..." She murmured.
I looked at her and finally took in her appearance. Her hair was blowing in the wind and it surprised me how long it was. Her lips somewhat complemented her face when she smiled, her eyes peeked open and she glanced at me. She's got brown eyes...
"Are you falling in love with me now? That's too bad I'll have to decline- I like dick. Nine inches of it, give or take." She said holding her hand up and I laughed and shook my head, "Nah, I'm sorry... You're really pretty though."
"My name means Goddess of Lust and I mean what can I say... Gotta stay true to that. I'll bet you Lucifer agrees." She snickered, "You're pretty damn good yourself though. You got some interesting eyes, I'll bet he goes crazy for them. Can I have them after you die? I'll keep them as a memento." She said grinning and I chuckled, "Sure thing... Also, he?"

"Oh don't play dumb, I mean Giovanni."
"He and I aren't a thing..." I said shaking my head. "Yet." She added winking at me. "Hey, I'm not judging you, you live your life." She swirled around and leaned herself onto the railing before tilting her head back. "I used to be a stripper before I met him."
Her hand trailed across the railing and she grinned, "He couldn't take his eyes off me y'know? Oh- and speak of the devil..." She peered off the balcony and waved her hand before shouting at the top of her lungs, "What the hell took you so long?! What if they shot me?"
I looked out and saw Giovanni and Lucifer climbing out the car and my eyes widened slightly when I saw him hunching over. He was holding his hand up to his shoulder and it was covered in blood. He smiled weakly over at me and waved his hand slightly.
'I'm back.' He mouthed and I caught myself smiling.
"Go to him." Astarte said, patting my shoulder, "You want to right?"
"But-"
"Come on." She said, holding her hand out for me to grab. We rushed down stairs to the front doors and nearly bumped into Matteo on our way down. I paused as I saw them walking into the house and our eyes met.
I watched as maids rushed over toward him to help him as he nearly fell over and Matteo held Astarte and I back before we could walk to them. I looked up at him and he raised his hand slightly and suddenly there were guns aimed on Lucifer. He dropped the swords from his hands with a satisfied smirk on his face and raised them up.
"Hey! What are you doing-"
"He betrayed us, I'm doing what's necessary. Take him to the room and tie him up." Matteo said, waving his hand, "Someone will tend to his injuries."
She looked shocked when he said that but it quickly went away.

"Take me with him!" Astarte shouted and Matteo frowned, "You stay with Melanie and the rest... You can see him in the morning. We'll see what Gio has to say, and if things are in his favor, we'll let him go. As for now, go back to bed."
He let go of her and nodded, but when she pulled me along with her he shook his head, "Jeyri stays..." He said simply. He looked toward me and cleared his throat, "I'll take you to Gio now."
"O-okay." I felt bad because he led her back to the room we were staying in even though she rushed downstairs with me as well and only I got to stay. When we got to the room where Giovanni was, he opened the door slightly and ushered me in, "I'm bringing her in Gio..."
We walked in and the room was dimly lit. The only light was coming from the lamp by his bedside. He was sitting there at the edges of the bed shirtless, his shoulder bandaged up. He looked toward me and our eyes met but I didn't look away.
"I'll leave now then." Matteo said, leaving out and closing the door. He really just left like that...
A smile appeared on Giovanni's lips and he motioned for me to come closer. "Did you miss me?" He asked, tilting his head. He cupped my face as I came close and caressed my cheek. "You wanted to see me..." I said, biting my lip and his eyes flickered down to them before looking back up to my eyes.
"Didn't you want to see me?"
I did.
"Does it hurt?" I asked, averting my eyes. I traced over his bandages and he hummed in reply, "Mmh, I'm used to it, so it's not so bad."
"Are you now?" I asked frowning and he nodded, "Worried about me are you?" He pulled me in closer to him and I slipped down into him, making both him and I fall over onto the bed. I was laying down on top of him and my hands were pressing up against his bare chest, I jumped up in realization but he kept me straddling his lap.
He grimaced and my eyes widened in realization, "Your shoulder..."
"It's fine," he murmured. It's obviously not fine. If it opens back up he'll start bleeding again.
"Umm... Giovanni-"
"Call me Gio," he said, cutting me off. "Gio..."
"Sì?" (Yes?) He asked, tucking my hair behind my hair.
I lost thought of whatever I was going to say because my mind couldn't even focus. My mouth parted but no words came out. I took in the sight of him lying there and I trailed my hand across muscles and I paused when I heard him let out a small sigh.
What am I doing?
He placed his hand over mine and gripped it softly before flipping us over. He hovered over me, leaning on his good arm and leaned his head in closer to mine. His thumb trailed over my lips and I felt my face heat up.
"Mi stai facendo impazzire, Jeyri. Voglio baciarti...voglio toccarti... voglio scoparti. How do you do this to me?" He whispered, sighing. (You're driving me crazy, Jeyri. I want to kiss you ... I want to touch you ... I want to fuck you.)
Even though I couldn't understand, it still made me feel hot when he spoke. His voice was making me feel things... I rubbed my legs together as I felt a throbbing between my legs and his eyes flickered down before looking back up at me.
He cursed under his breath and I bit down on my lip as I felt something hard pressing against the inside of my thigh.
"Can I kiss you...?" He asked and I nodded slowly, "Yes."
