Lorenzo and Tony didn't leave right after the other two men left, Lorenzo needed a few moments to calm down before going back to Elena. He stood sitting at the table with both his hand clinched into tight fist. It took all his energy to keep from hitting Rocco after he had the audacity to demand an apology for his son. Rocco's face had dropped when Lorenzo told them the only reason Dante was still breathing was because of Elena. In the same breath he also let them know that they shouldn't take his kindest for weakness because the next time he wouldn't be as willing to let shit go. When Lorenzo released the tension in his body he looked up to see Tony watching him.

"You want him dead don't you?" Tony asked as he sat down next to Lorenzo.

"He should be dead for disrespecting my wife." Lorenzo growled in a low voice feeling the tension come back. "But I won't do that to her."

"Things seem different between you two." Tony said and Lorenzo just nodded his head at Tony's statement. "Your queen is now standing front and center, what about the court jesters you have standing around her?"

"Not one of them women stand on the same level as my queen." Lorenzo said as he stood up and adjusted his coat. "Elena is waiting; I need to go."

After sitting in the lobby waiting for twenty minutes Elena realized she didn't have her clutch or phone. Her clutch was still up in the room and Lorenzo still had possession of her phone. Gino had initially been pacing close behind her but Elena made him sit because he was making her feel nervous. The two of them stood there talking about random things and Elena noticed how he kept asking her about different things Angel would like. When she decided to tease him about it he was quick to try and change the subject. Just when she was about to ask Gino if he had a serious thing for Angel she saw Antonio and Rocco.

When Antonio noticed Elena sitting there he quickly walked over to her. She had gotten up and was saying something to Gino but Antonio stopped them from walking away. "Elena I would like to talk with you."

"I've got somewhere to be." Elena said shaking her head as Gino moved closer to her. Antonio no longer ran his organization but he still had everyone's respect, so Gino decide he would stay silent as long as no one said or did anything to threaten Elena. "Maybe we could talk another time."

"Can you give me five damn minutes?" he said to her in a stern voice.

"Elena if you want to leave we can." Gino said placing his hand on her shoulder, making sure to let her know that she had a choice. "No one will stop us." He said looking over at the two men then back to her.

"It's ok but thank you Gino." Elena said with small smile then she turned back to Antonio. "You have until my husband returns." Elena said hoping Lorenzo didn't take much longer.

"How long do you plan on punishing your mother for the choices I made?" Antonio asked in a low voice. "She misses you dearly."

"For as long as it takes for me to get over the fact that you traded my life for yours." Elena snapped at him." What you did was immoral and completely wrong. You married me off to the highest bidder, my life could have been in the hands of a complete psycho and you didn't care."

"I chose Lorenzo Moretti because I knew you would have good life." He snapped at her.

"You didn't know that you only hoped." She snapped at him. "As long as there is air in my lungs I will hate you for taking this choice away from me."

"Little girl you better watch how you talk to your father." Rocco snapped at her.

Gino was about to snap at him but Elena spoke before he could open his mouth. "If you have not noticed I am no longer a little girl anymore and you no longer have a say in my life. You no longer have power over me!" She snapped at him. "I suggest you watch how you speak to me."

"Do you honestly think this kid can do anything to me?" Rocco said sarcastically to her as he pointed at Gino.

"That kid can do a lot more damage than you know, why don't you ask your son?" Lorenzo growled from behind Rocco and Antonio. The two men looked over their shoulders and watched as Lorenzo moved to stand next to Elena with Tony following behind him. Once next to her Lorenzo held his hand out to her and she placed her hand in his. "I suggest you take my wife's warning because that is the only one you get. Don't make the same mistake your kid made, my kindness earlier will not rollover a second time."

Antonio placed a hand on Rocco's chest signaling for him to calm down. Antonio knew the look in Lorenzo's eyes, he may seem calm on the outside but he was ready to kill. "Elena please reconsider talking to your mother, I can live with the fact that you hate me but not your mother." Antonio said softly.

"I will give it some thought but it will not be now." Elena said to him then looked up to Lorenzo. "Can we leave; I am done with this?"

"Of course." Lorenzo said with a smile as he wrapped her arm around his and led her away.

When they walked into the restaurant the hostess quickly walked over to them with a smile on her face. "Good evening Mr. Moretti and Mrs. Moretti. Please follow me, your table is ready."

Lorenzo and Elena walked through the restaurant with their arms still link with each other. Different people stood up and greeted them as they passed. Elena felt fluster with so many new faces that were being introduced to her. Some of their accents were so thick she had a hard time understanding their English but once she explained she spoke and understood Italian their smiles grew wider. She knew there would be no way on God's green earth she would even remember half the people that she met. When they got to their table Lorenzo noticed the tension in her body as he held her chair out for her.

When Elena sat down Lorenzo help her move the chair in and he leaned in close to her ear and whispered. "You don't have to remember all their names; you probably will never see most of them again."

"How do you even keep up with this many people?" Elena asked in a low shock voice as he sat down next to her.

Lorenzo let out a chuckle as he looked up at the waiter that approached the table. "Two glasses of red wine from my personal collection." He said and the waiter quickly nodded and left not saying a word. Lorenzo looked back Elena to answer her question. "I do business with about ninety percent of the people here and I will do all I can to keep my business from invading your life."

"Oh." Elena said as she lifted the menu to look it over.

"What would you like to do after this... I was serious about being all yours and we would do whatever your heart desires."

"I actually would like to get you out of that stuffy suit..." Elena said with a smile and he raised his eyebrow at her as he spoke before she could finish what she was going to say.

"Sweetheart you could have said that before I ordered the wine, we could be having room service instead." Lorenzo said with a smirk.

Elena's eyes went wide when she realized how her words had sounded to him. "I didn't mean it like that." She said shaking her head and he laughed a little more at the nervous look on her face. "I would like to go for a swim in the ocean."

"It's getting late." Lorenzo said with a raised eyebrow. "The sun will be setting in the next couple of hours."

"Are you scared of the dark or the ocean in the dark?" she asked in a low teasing tone.

He playfully glared at her but before he could answer her someone else did. "I would say he's afraid of the dark, I think he has been since he was kid." A man said with a deep dark laugh.

Lorenzo's eyes quickly shot over to the man that commented and he went from a playful glare at her to a smirk aimed at his cousin. "Angelo Marzano... I'd put a bullet in you but Uncle Enzo wouldn't be too happy with me taking out his heir."

"Before I get shot I should first greet the beautiful Mrs. Moretti." Angelo said with a smirk as he held his hand out to her. "You are looking as beautiful today as you did on your wedding day... nice to see you again." He said as she placed her hand in his.

"Nice to see you also." Elena said softly hoping no one would notice she was blushing.

Just as he bent down to place a kiss on her hand Lorenzo's hand quickly covered hers and Angelo's lips quickly pulled away with another smirk in place. "You may be my cousin but I don't trust where those lips have been." He said pulling Elena's hand from Angelo and held it in his own on the table.

"Just on about every maid you have here." He said with a laugh.

Lorenzo shook his head. "Sounds about right." He said with a chuckle. "I've promised my wife I'm all hers for the night but tomorrow I would like to have lunch with you and Carmine. We have some catching up to do."

"I'm sure I can find my brother around here somewhere and let him know." Angelo said as he shook hands with Lorenzo. "You two have a great night."

Once they were alone again the waiter came back over with their wine then took their order. It didn't take very long for the food to come. Whenever Lorenzo was in the restaurant his meal was always placed ahead of any other orders. Elena and Lorenzo spoke about random things as they ate, he was doing all he can to get to know her better. When they finished dinner Lorenzo and Elena went back up to the room and changed. Before leaving Lorenzo gave Tony a rundown of what he wanted done while he busy.

Once he was done with Tony Lorenzo and Elena went down to the beach, Gino and Rob had accompanied them but kept a good distance away giving them privacy. The beach had been a little more crowded than Lorenzo liked but he wasn't going to deny her what she wanted. They walked along the shallow water talking, Lorenzo knew there was a small alcove up ahead and not many venture to it when the sun was beginning to set.

When they got closer he stopped and gestured for Gino to come to him. "Yeah boss." Gino said when he was a few feet away.

"I'm taking Elena to the alcove, you two remain on this side and don't allow anyone to follow us."

"It's getting dark so be careful boss." Gino said and Lorenzo could hear the tension in Gino's voice.

"We'll be fine." He said nodding at him then removed his shirt and dropped it to the sand. Elena smiled at him as she removed her sarong dropping it next his shirt then he pulled her a little deeper into the water. "We need to swim to that rock wall over there." He said pointing to where they needed to go. "Stay close."

"Alright." Elena said.

Lorenzo led the way slightly glancing back every few seconds to make sure she was near. When they were about five feet from the wall Lorenzo stopped swimming and the two treaded the water next to each other. "Before we go I need to make sure you want to do this." Lorenzo said as he treaded the water in front of her. "It's getting dark and once we go in there coming back will be a bit dangerous."

"How so?" Elena asked feeling the butterflies begin in her stomach.

"We have to dive under pretty deep and stay low as we go under that wall." He said pointing over to it. "The wall is about seven feet wide, when we come back out it will be hard to see the wall above us."

"I want to do." Elena said nodding her head and he smiled at her.

"Take a few deep breaths and when I say go... we go." Lorenzo said and Elena nodded her head. "Stay close, if you start to have any problems grab my hand."

"Alright."

Lorenzo counted them down and then said go. The two of them took one last deep breath and dove under the water. Once they were on the other side and surfaced again Elena treaded the water as she glanced around to see that they were completely surrounded by a high rock wall. There had been a small sliver of a beach at one side and Lorenzo nodded towards it. Elena followed him to it and they both sat there breathing slightly heavy from the swim.

"How did you know about this?" Elena asked as she looked over at him and was amazed at how gorgeous he was when he was wet.

"My father used to bring us to this island when I was younger." Lorenzo said as he leaned back on his elbow angling his body towards her. "I haven't been in here since Angelo and I sent our fathers on a wild goose chase to find us."

"Did they find you two in here?" she asked.

"No but when we did come back out my dad and uncle Enzo kicked our ass." He said with a chuckle. "It was worth it."

"Why would you say that?"

"I had threatened to leave the family and my dad said he'd always find me if I left." Lorenzo said with a smirk. "I proved to him that I could outsmart him and it wouldn't be as easy to find me if I wanted to disappear."

"How old were you when you did that?" she said in shock.

"Sixteen and Angelo was fifteen." He said with the smirk still in place. "My dad gave me this that day, he wasn't very happy a sixteen-year-old kid outsmarted the capo." He said pointing at a scar above his eye.

Elena reached up slowly sliding her finger over the scar and Lorenzo closed his eyes. The feel of her soft touch did wonders to him. Elena watched as his eyes closed, she took that moment to really look at the man she married. He seemed different around her, Lorenzo was relaxed and smiled more. When he was around the guys he was more tensed and his face almost always had a hard look to it. Elena leaned forward and softly kissed his lips.

When her lips touched his Lorenzo's eyes quickly opened as he tensed, he had not expected for her to kiss him on her own... ever. Just as she started to pull away Lorenzo's hand went to her neck and pulled her back to him. As he closed his eyes again Lorenzo kissed her with all the passion he could put behind it.

Lorenzo slowly sat up and turned them as they kissed then began to lower her to the ground. Her hands held onto his shoulders and when she was flat against the ground he pulled back from the kiss holding himself up on one propped elbow and placed his other hand on her hip. "Can I ask you to trust me?" he asked softly and she nodded. "Exactly how far have you been intimately?" that question had been on his mind since they kissed earlier.

"About as far as we had been earlier." She said honestly as she began to feel self-conscious. Elena dropped her hands from his shoulder and laid them across her stomach.

Not liking the way she started to tense under his touch Lorenzo leaned down and placed a soft kiss to her lips hoping she would relax. He placed another kiss to the corner of her mouth then began trailing them along her jaw to her neck. When he reached the spot just below her ear Elena let out a soft moan causing him to pay little extra attention to the spot. As he kissed down to her collarbone Lorenzo moved her arms to her side and slowly slid his hand up the bare skin until it laid just under her bikini clad breast.

When his lips touched the top of Elena's breast her hands went to his chest. "I can't do this here." She said trying to fight back another moan.

"Elena I promise when we leave this alcove you will still be a virgin." He said pulling back to look at her. "Let me do for you what no man has ever done."

Not waiting for a response Lorenzo leaned down and place a kiss on her covered nipple. There was no fighting the moan this time as her back arched slightly. Lorenzo lifted up then placed himself between her legs and began trailing kisses over to her other breast. Her moans began to become more frequent as he began kissing down her torso to his ultimate goal.

When he reached the top of her bikini bottoms he sat back and smiled when he noticed her closed eyes. Slowly Lorenzo gripped her legs as he lifted them to a bent position. His hands slid down the inside of her thighs and came to rest at the apex of Elena's legs and most intimate area. Her body tensed but she didn't pull away or stop him, her chest rose and fell more rapid than it had been a few moments ago. When he didn't make another move Elena slowly opened her eyes and saw him looking down at her.

"Do you want me stop?" he asked in a low husky voice he knew he was going to drive himself insane doing this but felt the need to do it.

Elena shook her head no and he smiled down at her as he leaned forward placing a small kissed to her lips and once again kissed his way down the center of her torso. His eyes stood locked on hers as he placed one soft kiss to each of the inside of her thighs. When he placed a full kiss on her bikini covered mound Elena's eyes fluttered shut as her head fell back.

Elena's breath catches in her throat as the new sensation that began to flow through her body. She instantly felt twenty degrees hotter, his fingers trail so lightly over the inside of her thigh. She couldn't help but move her legs to make it easier for him. Her body trembled as his touches traced up her legs and back down where one hand moved her bikini bottom out of his way. The breath that she held in began coming out in gasps as his soft tongue slid into her most forbidden place. Her body was on fire and wanted so much more, he seemed to oblige as he continued to work wonders on her.

Lorenzo could feel her moving and withering under him, he knew she wouldn't be able to hold much longer. Elena's rapid gasping told him she was coming to her first orgasm. He moved faster plunging his tongue further inside her. The first wave of pleasure flooded her suddenly, her hips bucked but he quickly placed his arm over them holding them down against her will and carried on flicking his tongue against her. When she cried out loudly as she gripped his arm in both hands then for a moment went paralyzed with pleasure Lorenzo pulled himself away fixing her bikini and letting her come down.

"Are you ok sweetheart?" he asked as he laid on the ground next to her as her breathing began to slow. Elena nodded her head but kept her eyes closed. "Elena look at me." he said placing his hand on her cheek and turned her face to look at him as her eyes slowly opened.

Elena didn't realize until that moment that the sun had completely set and the only light they now had was the full moon above them. "I've never... I don't know..." she began saying having a hard time forming a complete sentence. Her body felt completely exhausted and she just wanted to sleep.

"You don't have say anything but I'm going to need you to muster up enough energy so we can swim back." He said smiling then leaned down placing a soft kiss to her lips.

Elena nodded at him and he helped her get back to her feet, it wasn't easy but the both knew the swim back was going to be dangerous. After diving in Lorenzo stood close to Elena making sure she didn't come up prematurely and injury herself. When they finally cleared the rock wall and came up on the other side. He pulled her close and held he to him as he swam back to shore.

Gino had sent Rob to get two towels knowing they would need them when they returned. They had been sitting in the sand near the water waiting on the couple to reappear again. When Gino caught sight of them they quickly stood up and waited. Lorenzo held Elena close as they walked to the two men, when he took the first towel he wrapped it around her body.

When they finally got back to their suite Elena grabbed some pajamas and went to take a shower. After she finished up and he went in the bathroom she stood there staring at the king bed and felt nervous. She took a few deep breaths and climbed in the bed, not realizing how tired she was Elena had fell asleep moments after her head hit the pillow.

Lorenzo walked out of the bathroom and over to the bed to find Elena curled up already sleeping. He sat on the bed facing away from her after taking one deep breath he laid down and turned towards her. Elena's back was to him so he slid a little closer to her then pulled her back to be flush against his body. Lorenzo wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes.
