Armored Love Ch. 01

By: Koco_Kyss



Anthony Strong knew his life was changed forever the moment he laid eyes on the beautiful chocolate lady on the other side of his camera lens. He stood in the park stunned by this woman's unnatural beauty. Being the photographer that he is, he took picture after picture of his pretty subject until he was out of film.

After Anthony's film ran out he still stood star struck. As he stared at her without the camera shuddering, he noticed that she wasn't the typical photographer subject. Meaning she was not a thin model type, but more of a voluptuous pin-up type. She had long raven black hair, more than ample breasts, and long shapely legs. From his point of view she was everything a real woman should be.

He realized he must have been staring too long because suddenly the beauty lifted her eyes and stared right at him. She was like a deer caught in headlights. Her dark chocolate eyes looked at him a moment longer before she returned her attention back to the thick novel resting in her lap.

Bianca Adams quickly looked away from the big tanned man who had been staring at her. She wondered why he was staring at her. Maybe she had something on her face! Noticing that he still stood there staring at her, she discreetly ran her hand over her face. If her skin wasn't the color of a chocolate chip someone could see her blush from miles away. Even though Bianca knew that curiosity killed the cat she had to look up again to make sure what she was seeing was real. She had been so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't even notice him move, and all her eyes saw was denim covered crotch.

"Oh!" Bianca gasped in shock. She quickly turned her head away. OMG! Bianca thought, I have never had that so close to me before!

"Shit, I'm sorry." Anthony said moving to the side of her and then sitting next to her on the bench. What a way to start a first meeting, Anthony thought before he boldly stuck his big hand out and said,

"Hi, my name's Anthony Strong." He waited patiently for her to shake his hand. Bianca shyly looked down at his hand, and then she reluctantly shook it. Since she just kept shaking his hand Anthony couldn't help but crack a grin and ask for his hand back. 

"Oops!" she gave a nervous giggle and let go of his hand.

"Um, well my name is B..Bianca Adams."

"Nice to meet you." He said for lack of something else to say.

There was an uncomfortable silence for about a minute and a half before Anthony said, 

   "You should come model for me."

"W..what do you mean?" she questioned not believing what he had said to her.

"Just what I said; you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. I just used a whole roll of film taking your picture."

Bianca couldn't believe that this hunk of blond haired, green eyed, chiseled man was saying these things to her. It must be a joke, like the time that frat boy had invited her to that party just so they could all laugh at her. It must be a sick joke. She was never one to be aggressive but she wasn't going to let this man treat her this way.

"Why are you saying these things to me? Is this some kind of joke? Let's fuck with the fat chick game, is that what this is!?!" 

Bianca slammed her book shut, and grabbed her things. As she stood Anthony grabbed her arm.

"Wait, what are you talking about? This isn't a game! I thought you were really pretty when I saw you, and I thought it would be cool if would model for me."

Anthony said this all in one breath because he really didn't want her to leave. Her accusations made him wonder who had hurt her in the past, and that made him think about bashing their faces in.

Bianca thought about it for a second and realized that maybe she had come to the wrong conclusions. He was a professional, and if he thought she had some kind of beauty then maybe she did. "Look. I am sorry. People don't say things like that to me, and it just caught me off guard." "I understand." Anthony couldn't help but run his hand down the butter soft skin of her arm. When he did she shivered. They looked at each other for a minute before Anthony dug around in his back pocket and pulled out his card. "Here is my card. Why don't you look me up, and then if everything checks out call me, and we can set up a time that you can come by my studio"

Bianca decided to take the first big risk of her life; she accepted his card. Little did they both know: this was the first chink in her armor.  "Alright I look you up." 

She gathered all her things, and before she walked away she said, "Thanks for the compliment."

"You are very welcome." Anthony cracked his sexy grin again, and Bianca smiled back. 

He watched her as she walked away thinking, "I think I've fallen in love."

I know this is another short chapter, but I want to take my time to develop the story. I hope you enjoy this.

Two Weeks Later

Bianca couldn't believe she was doing this. She had googled Anthony Strong a few days ago and was impressed with what she saw. He seemed to be on the right side of the law, he had an amazing portfolio, and most of all he seemed to be an honest guy. So if he was all of these things why couldn't she bring herself to call him?

Bianca had to be honest; she was scared of what could happen if she did call him. She wondered what he would think of her and if he would still be interested in photographing her. That is when Bianca made up her mind; she would call him and do something she wanted to do for once in her life. What was the harm in a big sexy man taking her picture? "Not a thing" Bianca replied answering her own question.

She took a deep breath and dialed the number.......five rings later.

"Strong here" came Anthony's deep seductive voice over the phone line.

"Um, hi this is Bianca. I met you in the park a few weeks ago."

"Hmmm. Yes, I couldn't forget such a beautiful lady. I assume you called to set up a time you could model for me." 

Bianca was quiet for a moment before answering.

"Yeah, could we do it sometime soon?" she asked nervously.

"How about Friday, and then maybe we could have dinner?"

Anthony was really hopeful that she would say yes. He had been thinking about her for days, well to be truthful he had been fantasizing about all the things he could do to that lush body other than taking its picture. 

"Um, I guess that will be alright." Bianca said a few moments later.

"You guess or you know? Because I want you to be sure about it".

By his tone of voice Bianca could tell he was serious, and that this meeting meant more to him than just a 'photo shoot'.

"Well, then yes it would be wonderful."

"Great! So would Friday at eight be fine?" 

All Anthony could think was YES!!!! She had agreed to go out with him.

"It would be great. I'll see you then."

"Good night Bianca." 

"'Night Anthony."

She had actually done it. She called and to her utter amazement he asked her out on a date. Bianca had never been on a real date before. Sure she knew about them from what her few friends had told her, but this time she would get to experience the bliss that came with a first date. This was always something she had dreamed of; going on a date. Now she was getting to experience it with one hell of a sexy man. Maybe be he was the one.

FRIDAY

Anthony jumped in the shower and wondered whether Bianca could tell over the phone that he had been aroused by the mere sound of her voice. He had never had a woman affect him the way she does. He had photographed many women, all of them beautiful, but none of them could hold a candle to his chocolate beauty. He just hoped that she didn't fright easy because he was going to make sure she was all his by the end of the night.

After he was done with his shower he got dressed in a pair of dark wash jeans, and a crisp white button up shirt. After he did that he made sure all of his equipment was set up, and ready to go. He was so nervous, and that didn't happen to him. Most of the time women drooled all over him, but this time he was doing the drooling and he didn't even mind. 

Caught up in his thoughts, he started when he heard the door bell. She's here he thought moving quickly toward the door, and what he saw when he opened that door took his breath away. 

There she was standing there in a clingy black wrap dress accessorized with big gold jewelry and bright red stilettos.

"Damn, you look good!" Anthony said trying to keep his jaw from hitting the ground.

Bianca blushed and she was sure he could see it because he was standing so close.

"Thank you. You look pretty.....um I mean handsome yourself."

"Come on in." Anthony said just realizing that he hadn't invited her in.

"You can set your stuff over there and we can get started."

Bianca walked over to the wooden dinner table and set her things down. When she turned around Anthony was just inches away. She opened her mouth to say something, and that is when his mouth covered hers. Bianca gasped as he slid his velvety tongue inside her mouth. After that all she could do was moan. Bianca had never experienced something so erotic in her life.

Anthony couldn't wait any more he had to taste her mouth, and what a sweet mouth it was. Anthony moved his hand over bodacious curves as she shyly touched her tongue to his.

Feeling her panties suddenly cream at his aroused groan, Bianca wrapped her arms around his neck and pushed her body closer to his. She really couldn't believe she was doing this. Bianca didn't know where these feelings were coming from, she had never had sex before, and she was surprised how natural these feelings were. She decided to go with these feelings.

Meanwhile Anthony slid his hands down to cup her juicy ass. Hot damn was all he could think as she moved her body against his. Feeling all the intense pleasure made Anthony want to throw her down on the couch and do her right there, but as these thoughts flowed through his mind, he thought of how she had acted the other day. At that moment he realized that he couldn't make love to her yet, and as much as he wanted to, he wanted her to trust him first.

Right as Bianca was getting up the nerve to follow her feelings Anthony stopped the show.

"Wait baby. I think we should wait a minute." 

Anthony said on a moan as he pulled away from Bianca heat.

"What? Why? Did I do something?"

Bianca said breathlessly, she was confused at what was happening. One minute they were going up in flames and the next their flames were ousted by frigid water. 

"No, No baby, you didn't do anything wrong. I just don't think you are ready for...for what were about to."

Bianca looked at him for a minute. Then she exploded. She was tired of people making her decisions. She could think for herself, and she damn well knew what she was feeling.

"What do you mean you don't think I'm ready?!? Did it seem like I wasn't ready?!? It never ceases to amaze me how people want to make my decisions for me!!!"

Anthony was dumbfounded at her outburst, and angry that she thought of his concern as negative.

"What in the hell are you talking about woman?!? I wasn't making a decision for you I was just concerned! I feel like a woman should trust her man before she fucks him!!" 

The moment Anthony referred to himself as her man he knew it was true. No other woman had made him feel all of these emotions at once. He was angry, but at the same time he felt compassion for her because of what she had obviously endured during her life. There was no doubt in Anthony's mind that he had went and feel in love with this chocolate beauty.

Bianca stared into Anthony's eyes as a myriad of conflicting emotions ran across his face. Bianca then realized that her defensive nature might have cost her something special.

"Look, I am seriously sorry. I don't know how to take people sometimes. To be honest, I have been hurt a lot, so I'm defensive." 

Bianca apologized with her eyes cast toward the ground. She was just waiting for the joke to begin. But it didn't.

"Hey, look at me Beautiful." She lifted her head.

"I can tell that some not so nice things have happened to you, but that was in the past. This is the present, and I'm telling you now that I will never intentionally hurt you." 

Anthony stated this while looking deep into her dark eyes.

Bianca knew by looking into his green eyes that he was telling her the truth, and that he really believed what he said. But what would happen when he got tired of her, and decided that he wanted one of his thin models. What would happen to her? Bianca knew she should care about the questions flowing through her head but she didn't. She wanted this man and he wanted her; she could tell by the huge bulge tightening his loose jeans.

"I know you wouldn't hurt me Anthony." Anthony reached his hand up to caress her cheek.

"So, Bianca can we give this attraction a chance to develop into something more?"

At that moment the chinks in Bianca's armor became dents as she feared she had fallen in love.

"Yes, Anthony we can give us a chance."

Anthony's mouth once again covered hers for a brief kiss, and then he said,

"Let's start the photo shoot.", A wicked grin crossed his face.



Armored Love Ch. 03



Bianca sat in her apartment not believing that not more that week ago she had posed for her boyfriend. That was not something she thought she would never say. She had a boyfriend for the first time in her life. So far things were going well. Even though her head was saying that there ha to be a catch; her heart knew there wasn't.

After Bianca had posed for Anthony she knew what the appeal of being a model, even though it was something she wouldn't do. All the attention the photographer gives you makes you feel special. At least it had made her feel special when Anthony took pictures. Bianca also had to admit that there was an erotic element to the whole thing from her perspective. The whole thing made her feel a freedom that she didn't normally have within herself.

*********************************

While Bianca was thinking about the posing, Anthony was thinking solely about Bianca and how sexy she had looked posing for his eyes only. When he first met her he knew that she would make to be a beautiful subject just because of her face. But since he got to take her picture he knew that any photographer would like her as a subject. Bianca was way more confident than she gave herself credit for. He could tell that by posing for him Bianca would open up more, and be a little freer. Anthony knew that he would never let anyone see the pictures he took of her because they showed her in her rawest form...;vulnerable.

That it is why it meant so much to him when she agreed to be his woman. Bianca had to struggle with herself just to come to his house, so he knew that she had to struggle even more with having a man in her life.

Anthony was determined to make sure to find who had hurt her, because if he didn't he knew he would have to atone for the mistakes men had made in her past. And he was not going to do that.

***************************

BIANCA'S SOPHOMORE YEAR OF COLLEGE

"Stupid bitch, did she really think you had asked her here because you wanted her?" The preppy boy on the left of Bianca's 'date' stated. 

"Yeah man, she fell for it. The only thing I'd like that bitch for is....... Man I can't even think of nothin'" Bianca's date stated before he and his friend laughed.

Bianca couldn't believe this was happening to her again. Why did people automatically pick her out to make fun of? She didn't talk to anybody unless they talked to her, so why was this always happening to her? This would be the third time. 

She couldn't even say she was surprised that it had happened. She should have never trusted the boy who did this, but she was tired of her lonely existence. Bianca was so tired of never going out and not having any friends. So that is why she had agreed to the out of the blue invitation from the boy. As she walked toward the door, before they could cause her public humiliation, she made up her mind that she would never trust another man especially a good looking one.

**************************** 

Bianca was snapped out of her reverie by the sound of her cell phone ringing. By the ring tone she knew it was Tony. They hadn't talked in a few days on account of them both being really busy people, so Bianca was excited to be able to talk with him.

"Hey baby, how you been?" Anthony asked as Bianca answered the phone.

Bianca then let out a breath that she didn't know she was holding. Since they hadn't talked in a few days she was wondering if he still liked her. Bianca knew what she was thinking was a little bit childish but she couldn't help but have some second thoughts about this. She was still working on trusting him completely.

"I'm doing good Tony, how are you doing?"

Anthony had to take a moment to respond. 

Bianca was the only woman to ever call him Tony other than his mama, and he liked the sound of it coming from her lips. So much so that he had to bite back a moan. The sound of her voice had him wondering what that voice would sound like as he made her cum.

He cleared his throat before he answered her.

"Missing you baby, that is how I'm doing. When can we get together again? My schedule is clear for the next few weeks." Anthony said.

"Well, Tony we should be able to get together tomorrow night since it is Friday, and I have the whole weekend for down time." Bianca said calmly even though the excitement of seeing him was running through her.

"Okay baby that sounds like a plan, but what are we going to do?"

"We could go to the old drive in. I think that would be fun, and I heard they are playing some good movies." Bianca said.

"But are all those movies chick flicks Bianca?" Anthony said playfully suspicious.

"Uh no, they have other movies too. So do you want to go?"

"Bianca, where ever you go I'll be there."

Anthony said surprised that he meant what he said. Bianca just didn't know how much she had him wrapped around her little finger.

"That's so sweet, and I'll see you at eight tomorrow night."

"Okay, I will pick you up at eight, think about me tonight." Anthony said right before he hung up the phone.

Bianca couldn't wait until their date. She had been hoping that they would spend some more time together. Now all she had to do was find a bangin' outfit to wear and everything would be alright.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Did I tell you how fine you look tonight baby?" Anthony questioned as they got out of the car to go get refreshments before the movie.

Bianca giggled softly before she said, "Yes, Tony you told me, and thank you."

"Bianca, don't thank me for telling the truth."

Anthony said as he stopped her by snagging her around the waist. Before she could speak Tony leaned down and kissed her; in front of everyone. Bianca tried to pull away but Anthony slipped his tongue in her mouth, and clasped his hands tighter around her waist. She couldn't do anything but kiss him back.

She licked his bottom lip and boldly sucked his tongue into her mouth. Bianca could feel wetness between her thighs as Tony gave guttural moan and ended the some what explicit kiss.

"Come on let's grab the popcorn and drinks before we miss the movie." Anthony said with labored breaths. Bianca could only follow him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was an hour into the movie and neither one of them was thinking about the movie. Anthony couldn't stop thinking about how good they would feel together, and Bianca couldn't stop thinking about the kiss they shared and what it would feel like to go beyond kissing.

Anthony was sure about to show her because he just needed to touch her, taste her and if he didn't he felt like he would go insane. Anthony lifted the armrest that was separating them giving Bianca no time to react as he started sucking on her neck. And the moment she went to gasp he swallowed it as he covered her lips with his. Tony couldn't get enough of this woman; his woman. 

"Mmm, baby you taste so good. Let me taste you all over." Anthony said as he slid his hands down to unbutton her silky top.

Bianca loved the sensations of Tony touching her. She had never felt this before, the warmth flowing through her body, and the cream flowing between her legs.

It felt so good to have someone touching her.

Her thoughts then turned else where as Tony sucked a nipple through the black lacy bra she wore.

"Tony!" Bianca said breathlessly feeling the suction all the way to her clit.

"You like that don't you baby. You'll like this even better." 

That's when he bared her breasts and nipped one nipple then the other. After he nipped them he licked each one to take away the erotic sting just to start all over again.

Bianca's head rolled side to side, she was so wrapped up in the pleasure that Tony was giving her that she didn't know until she felt her cream trickle down her thighs that he had removed her panties. She trembled as Anthony slid his hands up her thighs. She wanted to know what he would do next, but she felt the need to stop him. Bianca had never had anyone lick and suck her breasts much less touch her between her thighs.

"Wait baby, I don't know if we should do this here what if someone sees us?" Bianca said in some what of a panic.

"Bianca, please just a little I've been dying to touch you, and no one will see us because the windows are tinted." He said while placing hot wet kisses between her shoulder and neck.

Bianca let out a moan, she knew if he kept doing that she would give and let him go where no other man has gone before. And it felt so good, why should she stop something that would keep feeling so good.

She made up her mind, "OOOOkay Tony."

"I'll make you feel so good you'll beg for more." Tony said with his wicked grin, and a sinful laugh.

*************************************

And that is exactly what Bianca did; beg. As Tony slowly slid his hand between her thighs, and connected with her honey slicked sex all Bianca could do was give in and beg him to give her first real orgasm.

As she was begging Tony was sliding his thumb over her clit while he sucked on her chocolate nipples. 

"That's right baby cum for me. It feels good doesn't baby?" Tony said in a husky whisper. 

He knew she was close; he could feel he trembling, so he keep rubbing and whispering dirty things in her ear. A few seconds later all Tony could feel was her nails biting into his wrist, and the ringing of his own name in his ears as Bianca screamed when she came.

"Ohmigod, Tony, ohmigod. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm." Was all that came out of Bianca's mouth as Tony pushed her over the edge.

"Baby you taste sooooo good." Tony said this right after he pulled his once cream drenched fingers out of his mouth. Bianca could only stare at him in shock. When Tony said he wanted to taste her all over he meant what he said.

Tony couldn't believe that seeing her have pleasure under his hand gave him so much pleasure as well. Any other time he would have wanted some return action, but with Bianca he felt that if she was happy he was even happier.

Bianca couldn't believe she just had her first orgasm in the front seat of a car at a drive in, but it was the best experience that she had ever had, and it was not something she would soon forget.

"We should go." Anthony said his voice still gruff from breathing so hard.

Bianca only nodded in agreement because if they didn't she didn't know what she might do.

To be continued..............

This was bad really bad. Since Tony had touched her, made her reach heights that she hadn't thought she could reach Bianca hadn't been able to think of anything else. When she closed her eyes all she could see were Tony's eyes staring intensely at her as he licked her cream from his fingers.

When she thought about her first real sexual encounter with him she would get all hot and bothered. Anthony was the only thing she could think about and that was bad because she couldn't get any work done. She had a deadline to meet and this relationship was something that she hadn't anticipated.

Even though she was already falling in love with Anthony she didn't want her business life to be affected by it. The moment she thought that, her mothers' voice rang in her ear, "You finally found a man that can stand you, and you are already analyzing it. Ain't it enough th...that you're packing extra weight; some body else is not going to want you." 

Bianca's insecurities don't just steam from childhood bullies, and dumb frat boys. Most of her emotional problems came from her perfect family, and the fact that she the round peg that didn't fit in the square hole. She had a brother and a sister that were both older that her and could do no wrong in their mothers eyes. I seemed as if her mother hated her at times. 

Every time she would visit, her father would greet her with a big hug, but her mother would utter the first negative thing that came to mind. 

If they all had Sunday dinner together Bianca would be scared to even put food an her plate. Even if she got a fruit plate her mother would comment on it. Bianca felt her heart leap into her throat every time she thought about how her mother treated her. All she wanted was for her mother to love her for who she was. Even though her mother treated her as if she were a stepchild her father didn't, her showed all of his kids love, and would try to stand up for her when her mother let her have it. But 'try' is the operative word because when he tried to help all her mother would say is, "That's why she's the way she is now.... Fat because you would let her have anything ,by thing I mean food, she wanted."

After the first hundred times she said it didn't really register to Bianca, and that's truly sad because who should have to endure emotional and verbal abuse to the extent where she believed it and didn't stand up for herself.

****************************

Miles away Anthony too sat his desk in his home office thinking about the sexy night he had shared with Bianca. Where Bianca was leaning toward being negative, Anthony was all about the positives of their relationship. He couldn't wait to see her again. They hadn't seen each other since that night because he had figured that she needed space. Tony had a feeling of that she would need time to deal with changes in their relationship. The way she reacted to him had him thinking that she had never been intimate with a man before.

Even though he felt that this had made them closer he also felt that if he didn't give her time she would end up making some excuse at why they couldn't be together. Bu whether Bianca knew it or not they would be together for ever, because Tony wasn't letting his love get away. 

*************************************

Later on that evening while Bianca was contemplating calling Anthony a knock sounded at her door. Anthony must have been thinking of her as well because there he was at her door. She took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Hi baby." Anthony said as he walked in the door. He looked around Bianca's beautifully eccentric apartment. Slashes of color were everywhere, but by looking at her and being around her one would never think she was that bold.

"Hey Tony, what are you doing here?" Bianca asked and that had Tony snapping his head toward her in confusion.

"What do you mean? I can't stop by and visit my woman when I want to?" Anthony said stepping closer to her with each word he spoke. All Bianca could do was back up, but then she had to stop because her back hit the wall.

"Tony I just..." her words were cut off when Tony leaned in and nipped then licked her neck.

"MMmmmmmm, you smell and taste so good baby. By any chance were you in here thinking about how to get rid of me?" Tony asked this because when he first walked in she had this shocked then guilty look on her face .

Tony knew it was true because the moment he finished his statement he could feel her skin heat in embarrassment.

"Tony, I jjj..just think I'm too wounded ttttt...to be with you." Bianca said nervously as she turned her head away from Anthony.

He had feeling that she had been thinking these things, but all she just did was give him a reason to fight for her and their relationship. Now all he had to do was get her to open up to him.

"Bianca, talk to me, tell me why you feel this way." He said while turning Bianca's head to face him.

"Tony you don't want someone like me. I have a very jaded view of life."

"What makes you think that I don't want to make your jaded view disappear?" Anthony said wanting her to know he was serious about their relationship.

"Bianca tell me who and what hurts you, and I'll do my damnedest to make it better." Tony said passionately.

Bianca couldn't believe it but tears were falling down her face, and all she wanted to was believe him. What the hell she thought; she would have to put her trust in someone why not with someone she was falling in love with.

Anthony felt his heart clinch as the big tears feel down her chocolate face all he wanted to do is make her forget about the past, and think about the future.

"Baby, don't cry." Anthony said pulling her into his arms.

Bianca wrapped her arms around his neck, and first time in her life she felt truly loved and safe.

**************************

After Bianca got herself together, they sat on the sofa and she told Anthony about everything that contributed to her jaded view on life. Starting with her mother and ending with the most humiliating moment in her life.

She told Anthony about how her mother didn't have one positive thing to say about her, and how it seemed that people only wanted her around if she could help them with something. Bianca also told Anthony about the times she had been asked on prank dates. Lastly she told him about the single most thing that cemented distrust of people in general.

"I'll never forget this a day I live. I was in college, and still naive to the fact that people can be so cruel with out reason. I had been helping one of the jocks with his studies because it was apart of my work study program. Of course being a jock he his girlfriend was a cheerleader. He hadn't told her about the tutoring, but he had told his friends. But not that I was tutoring him he told then I was doing things with him; nasty things. It got back to his girl, and one night I was walking back to my dorm when the girl and her friends cornered me. My school was a party school so even though I was cornered it was in front of a lot of people." Bianca got silent she really didn't want to tell him about what happened next but if she wanted to move on she would have to.

TO BE CONTINUED...



Armored Love Ch. 05



 ***Hey everbody this is the chapter i have been working on...so i hope u like it. I hope to write more soon enjoy...and thanx for the feedback:)*** Koco 



Tony did not want to her what was going to come out of here mouth. 

He just didn't want to hear it. He knew what was coming was going to be something that had changed her perception of life for ever. But he knew he had to listen because if she didn't get whatever was plaguing her off her chest, she might never be able to completely open up to him.

"I tried not to say anything to them. I really tried to ignore them but thy wouldn't let me. The girl caught me off guard when she asked me was I screwing her man. I didn't know how to answer so I didn't say anything."

Bianca said this in an eerie reminiscent whisper. She then took a deep breathe before she continued.

"I guess she took my silence as a yes. Because before I knew what hit me I was tackled to the ground, but not by her but by some guys that she obviously had wrapped around her little finger. As I struggled to get back up I got a hard kick to the ribs then another, and another." 

"The girl and her friends and everyone who walked by watched as these men beat me. I thought that would be the worst part, I really did. It wasn't. But after about ten minutes they finally stopped at the girls' command because no one had dared to stop them before then, the girl leaned in and whispered, 'You should have just said no you stupid bitch'."

Tony didn't know what to say. He was stunned; he had thought it was going to an abusive ex or something. Tony knew it was going to be bad but he had no clue how bad. Tony just sat holding Bianca's hand as she finished telling him what had happened to her.

"I ended up with six broken ribs, a fractured wrist, and a bruised up face. I spent about a week in the hospital. You know I couldn't even press charges? You want to know why?"

"Why baby?" Anthony responded.

"Not a single person who had witnessed me getting beaten would come forward. And the sad thing is this girl did this just because I was an easy target. She knew I hadn't slept with her boyfriend."

Bianca had to stop because retelling this story was overwhelming. Sometime she didn't know why people treated her the way they did. The girl had her beaten just for the un of it and had gotten away with it. All Bianca could do was try and put the past behind her.

When Anthony leaned over to pull her into a hug Bianca turned away from, ashamed of what she had let happen to her. Bianca couldn't help but think that if she hadn't been so nice and took pity on the jock and tutored him that non e of her problems would have occurred.

She couldn't help but think that if she hadn't been so nice that she would be able to bare children. And that's a bombshell she would not be sharing with Tony anytime soon.

Anthony sat quietly beside Bianca has she silently collected her emotions. All he wanted to do was hurt the people who hurt Bianca. He felt that she had something more to say but she stopped talking and he didn't wan to push her. All he could do now was pull her to him and hold her tight.

Bianca's only reaction was to take the comfort his arms provided, and also the strength.

"Thank you or being the for me Tony." Bianca whispered shyly as she pulled back to look at him. Tony smiled a little then said,

"What have I told you about telling me thank you when is unnecessary?" Before she could reply Tony kissed her. The kiss was soft and sweet, his lips caressing hers. 

Bianca didn't think she would ever get used what she felt when Tony touched her. It was something that she wanted to feel for a long time to come.

So she didn't stop him when he kept on kissing her. She touched her tongue to his as he ran his hands up and down her thighs.

Anthony moaned as Bianca arched her back to get closer to him, and that's when he knew he had to stop. She was upset and he didn't want her to do something she would regret. So he pulled away from the temptation she presented him.

"Bianca baby lets stop for the night ok. I want our first time to be perfect not like this." 

Bianca was still breathing hard as she listened to what Anthony was saying. She knew he was right but she just wanted to feel...she was wanted to feel like she mattered...like she was loved. But she understood where he was coming from. He was right she needed time to decompress.

"Ok, but just so u know it'll be perfect no matter what because it will be with you." 

Bianca whispered before she leaned in and kissed his lips before turning to get up.

Anthony grabbed her wrist before she could move to far away and gently pulled her so she landed in his lap.

"Bianca what if I just wanted to feel you, to taste you would you let me?" Tony asked as he caressed her back.

Bianca didn't get it. One minute he wanted to stop then the next minute he didn't. What was running through his head?

"I thought you wanted to stop." 

"I don't think we should make love fully yet, but there are other ways that I can give you pleasure baby." Anthony stated with sensual seriousness. 

Bianca thought about the other night in the car. She loved the way he had made her feel. And she couldn't lie and say that she didn't want to feel what he had given her before. The only thing was she wanted to give him pleasure too.

"Umm okay, but what about you? When will I be able to give you what you want to give me?" Bianca asked turning toward fiddling with a button on his shirt.

Anthony didn't know how to answer her. He didn't know how because for some reason with her his pleasure was just being with her. Making her feel what she had never felt before. Tony had women throwing themselves at him on a daily basis; they would do anything for a piece if him.

But Bianca was different, she didn't even know how much she affected his senses. She didn't know the power she held over him and other men he had seen stare at her. She just didn't know. He just wanted give her the pleasure she deserved.

"Baby you already give it to me. You give it to me every time we are together, and you would give it to me even more if let me taste you." 

As he talked to her his eyes changed from that bright hazel green to evergreen to nearly black. His voice had gotten deeper with desire. He wanted her.

Bianca was breathing hard with her own desire as she nodded and he claimed her mouth his.

He lightly bit her full bottom lips and licked away the sting. He then traced the curve of her neck with his tongue, and all she could do was moan. Anthony then turned he body so that she was straddling him. 

Bianca could feel the hard ridge of his dick against her moist heat. She instinctively moved her hips into his. He let out a groan. Bianca pulled him back up so she could kiss his lips; she could on kissing him all night, but Tony had other plans.

Tony slowly, while looking his fill, removed Bianca's clothing piece by piece until she was naked. Bianca was nervous...no one had ever seen her naked before...totally naked. But everything she was feeling was worth it.

Anthony could feel her shiver, an a barely noticeable blush tinting her skin.

He leaned in and kissed her neck, her lips, and sucked on her earlobe.

"You ok baby?" he said in a heated whisper.

"Mmmm yes." Bianca said rubbing her hands up and down his chest. Realizing she was just nervous Tony gripped her hips and flipped her until she was laying on the couch. All Bianca could do was gasp then giggle as she held on to him.

While Bianca was shifting around Tony stripped out of his shirt then settled between her legs. He immediately felt her wetness on his stomach. He then leaned in and licked one chocolate nipple then sucked it into his mouth and gave the other the same treatment.

His dick got harder just listening to her moan. While he sucked on her nipples he slid his hand down to slip a finger between her pussy lips to find her clit. Tony knew he had found it when she let out a little scream and clinched her thighs around his hips. He then looked up to see her face. Bianca's eyes were closed and her mouth was open. She was deeply feeling everything that Tony was giving her. 

Tony pulled his hand away and licked his fingers before kissing his way down he voluptuous body. When he kissed her hip then outside of her thigh and then the inside, Bianca finally spoke.

"Wwwhat are you doing?" She breathlessly asked 

"Mmmmm baby I am giving you pleasure." He gave her is devils grin right before he took one long lick of her pussy. Bianca let out a surprised but pleasure filled scream.

"Oh My!" she then moaned as Tony started to devour her pussy.

The only thing he could think as her cream met his tongue was that she tasted so good. He gripped her thighs to keep her still as he continued sucking her clit into his mouth. When he did this Bianca's hands went into his hair holding him to her.

She writhed against his face, not ever wanting him to stop. Tony was so turned on that he could fell his balls tightening, and reached down and unzipped his pants. That's when he could feel her shaking, and he could hear her strangled screams and moans of pleasure. 

He felt her cum...he tasted it on his lips...on his tongue. He heard his name falling off her lips he gripped her to his face as he too came.

"Shit!" he yelled just after giving her clit one last lick.

"Oh my God." Bianca sighed as she pulled Tony in for a kiss and tasted her juices on his lips.

"No one has ever done that to me."

"Baby they have missed out then...cause I'm the only one who will be. You taste so good. And you are all mine."

To be continued....



Armored Love Ch. 06



***Hello everyone....i just wanted to thank you all for your support... this chapter is deep and different and totally unexpected..i hope you like it...errors should be better lol...but plz read and enjoy:)***Koco***

*

Tony had never had never said that to a woman before. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever think he would tell a woman she was his and actually mean it.

He knew Bianca had been hurt, and no matter how much he wanted to act like he hadn't been hurt as well he couldn't. Bianca's hurt was bone deep and was on another level than his hurt but it didn't mean that his hurt was any less important. The more he had been helping Bianca with her demons the more his had been reappearing.

The truth is that he had to work hard to be the nice guy he seemed to be. But if anyone dared to look close enough he wasn't so nice. He'd had to fight his way through life, and he'd come out on top but he couldn't say the same for others. No matter what he did lately he couldn't get his sordid past off his mind. 

He was wondering what Bianca would think when he told her the things that made him the person he was today. In the world where he grew up you couldn't just sit back and wait for good things to come to you. In his old life if you wanted something you had to take it and make no apologies. 

Tony grew up in a world many thought they knew, but in reality they knew nothing. People thought what they saw on television was the real thing, but living as a part of one of the most cut throat neighborhoods in the Bronx was no joke especially when you were apart of the Family that ran it.

Anthony didn't know he long he could keep his secret from Bianca. All he knew was that he couldn't keep it from her, and that he would have to tell her some time soon. Tony knew that if he didn't tell her soon someone else would and he couldn't let that happen. He had been running for the last three years trying to break his ties with the Family, but it seemed like they were catching up with him.

He didn't know why they wouldn't just let him live his life as a photographer. The only reason he could guess was that he had proved long ago that just because he was not aggressive, like his brothers and father, that he was not one to be fucked with. Even though his family thought he was delusional in thinking that he could lead the simple life of photographer when he was really a killer. 

He hated that word though, 'killer', but soon he wouldn't be able to hide from it any longer, because they were coming for him. Tony could feel it in his bones that his life was about to change, but no matter what he wouldn't let Bianca go. He just hoped that she would understand. At least I got to live in peace for awhile he thought, just before drifting to sleep.

As Tony drifted to sleep Bianca was wide awake thinking about how much her life had changed. she never would have thought that she would find a man to love her like Tony seemed to. He took care of her and made her feel like she was meant to be pampered. No one had ever made her feel that way before. 

Bianca knew she would have to deal with her feelings for him soon because it was something new and very foreign to her. Little by little her armor was being dented, and if he kept it up those dents would soon be holes. Bianca loved this feeling and she hoped it would last for a long long time, but in the back of her mind she knew something was going to happen soon. She just didn't know what. And I don't want to know she thought as she went to sleep.

BANG! BANG! BANG! "What the hell!" Tony yelled as he flipped out the bed. He looked over at the clock and shook his head as he headed toward the door. Who would be banging on his door at seven on a Sunday morning, this was a day of rest. The banging started again just as he snatched the door open. He was just about to give whoever it was the tongue lashing of their life, but when he looked up the words died on his lips because he was face to face with Antonio Marcato Sr., his father.

" Hello junior... took me awhile, but I found you." Marcato looked at his oldest son for a few more seconds before he spoke again.

"You were really smart this time boy, translating your name. I have to tell you, even I wouldn't have thought of that. But you can see now that I did end up figuring it out."

Tony didn't know what to say to his father. He knew they would catch up to him soon but he didn't know that they would catch up to him this soon. The only thing he could think about was how was he going to tell Bianca, and about how she would take this news. 

"Father, what are you doing here?" Tony asked the dumb question with a hard edge to his voice. 

He already knew why his father had come for him and he refused to let the old man take sway him back into the life. Anthony looked at his father and felt as if he was looking into the future. Even though his father was nearing 60 he was still in prime shape he looked as if he could still take on the world and win, but for some reason Marcato didn't think he could any longer.

"Look son, let me come in and we'll talk about this." Marcato said as he didn't wait for Tony to let him in. Marcato walked into Tony's apartment as if he owned it. Tony couldn't do any thing but let him through.

As Marcato sat down, with his bodyguards by his side, he motioned for his son to do the same.

"Dad, look I don't want to be apart the life. Why can't you understand that and let me move on?" Anthony asked just as he had the last time they had had this discussion.

"You know why Junior. This what you were born to do and until you realize that I won't leave you alone. This life is the life I fought for many years to rule and now it is your turn." Marcato said wholeheartedly. 

"But Dad I'm happy being a photographer and......well I'm happy and I want to stay that way." Tony said thinking twice before he mentioned Bianca. He wanted to keep her as far away from his father as possible. 

He didn't want to give his father ammunition to use against him, and Bianca was most definitely a weakness.

"Why won't you just turn the business over to Nicolai, he would be happy running it for you."

"That is a simple answer boy, he is weak, he can not handle this kind of pressure. You were revered in our world. When you were by my side I watched you and was so proud of the man you had become. Son, people feared you as they do the devil. And that is what I need and lets not forget, you are ruthless, cutthroat, but also wise. What can I say; it's in the genes." Marcato said that quip with the same wicked grin Tony gave Bianca.

Tony couldn't deny a word his father had said. During the short time that he lived the life he had made sure people would know that the Marcato Family was not to be fucked with. Tony had killed first and asked questions never. If you so much as looked at him too long you might not have eyes in the next instant. He had been on top of the world. Millions of dollars came to him in the blink of an eye, and women for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 

Antonio Marcato Jr. didn't want for anything. But the life came with its price, and he learned soon enough that everything that glitters ain't gold. 

"But, I'm not that man anymore and I wish you would stop trying to turn back the hands of time for me. You may be proud of the man I was but I'm not. I didn't like the man I had become, and I'm telling you now that I am Anthony Strong and always will be." 

Changing the subject Anthony asked, "So, how is Mama?" 

"Oh your mother is fine, if you would stop running away you could see her more often.'' Marcato said laying on some guilt.

"If you would just accept me for me I wouldn't have to running away." Tony said right before a knock sounded at the door. His head snapped up quick. It could only be one person; Bianca.

Bianca knocked on the door again wondering what was taking him so long to open the door. She knew he was up because she could hear footsteps on the other side. Before she could knock again a man she didn't recognize opened the door. He was wearing what looked like a Hugo Boss black suit, his hair was slicked back. The first thing that ran through her mind was who is the man and that he looked like he had stepped right out of a mafia movie.

Bianca was just about to ask where Tony was when he moved in front of the man and pulled the door closed behind him as he stepped out into the hallway.

"Bianca what are you doing here?"

"Well I thought I would drop by to see you for a minute." She replied a little hurt by the harsh way he had asked the question.

She didn't know why he was being so short with her, but she would soon find out.

Before Tony could even try to explain his curt tone the door opened, and Marcato stepped out and spoke.

"Son, this must be the lovely Bianca. How nice to meet you Bella." Marcato said reaching around Tony to kiss Bianca's hand. As soon as the words left his fathers' mouth Tony whipped his head around to look his father in the eye. 

He knew this was his fathers' way of letting him know that he had found him sometime before this day. All that was left to wonder was how long had Marcato known about his whereabouts and Bianca, and how was he going to explain to his woman that he was Mob Boss. 

"Nice to meet you too sir." Bianca said while looking at Tony for answers, but by the way he turned his face away it didn't look like she was going to get any. 

As Marcato started to speak, Tony cut his words off by pulling Bianca toward the elevator.

"Tony what is going on? Why didn't you tell me that you father was visiting?" Bianca said.

"Look, I didn't know he was coming, and trust me I wouldn't have been here if I did know." Tony replied before he could stop himself.

"Bianca, baby right now is not a good time. I will call you later babe, and explain everything I promise." He said this with a pleading look in his eye that she could not ignore. Bianca decided to not ask anymore questions; she could feel that what was happening could make or break their relationship.

"Ok baby, just call me when you need to talk, and Anthony we need to talk." Bianca leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before stepped into the elevator.

Tony watched her go, and he could only hope that the news he was about to divulge would not tear them apart. He knew that it would be hard t for to understand and that she would struggle with the idea. At the end of the day he knew that no matter what he would not let her go.

Later on that evening Bianca sat by her phone anticipating Tony's phone call. She had been wondering all day why he said that about his father, and why he seemed like he didn't want his father knowing about her. 

As her thoughts got deeper she drifted off to sleep. A few hours later she was startled awake by a knock at the door knowing who it was she quickly opened up the door. 

Tony could tell by the shocked look on Bianca's face that it was going to be a long night. He had decided to show up at her door like he would if was back home running the business. He was dressed in a five thousand dollar Armani suit, black gators, and a cross with praying hands. 

Tony didn't think it was the suit that shocked her though, but it was the fact that he showed up with bodyguards. Two to be exact. He wanted her to know who and what he was. No matter how far he ran or if he didn't run the business he would always and for ever be a Marcato. 

Tony stepped into her home and shut the door; he knew that his men would be posted outside until he decided to leave.

He looked at Bianca for a moment before stretching out his hand for her to shake and said,

"I would like to introduce myself. The name is Antonio Marcato Jr. and I'm a mob boss." Bianca had started to put her hand in his before those last two words left his mouth.

Instead she found her hand flying toward his face. Bianca had slapped Tony so hard as so quick he could taste blood in his mouth.

"How could you do this to me!! You promised to never hurt me." the last words she said in a whisper. 

Bianca couldn't believe she had just slapped him, but he deserved it she thought as she turned away to further collect her thoughts.

Why would he do this she asked herself. And she wanted to know what it was about her that made men want to hurt her.

Tony touched his jaw and could feel it getting hot already. He looked around for a tissue to spit the blood into. Damn he thought she was hot when she was angry. He had to laugh at himself at this point; at least it was out in the open, and now all he had to do was figure out how to fix his mess.

"Bianca, I didn't lie to you on purpose. I have been in hiding for the last three years. I got out of the life a long time ago, but my father doesn't get me not wanting to run the business. I didn't know he had found me until this morning."

"So, you mean to tell me that you went from being a mob boss to a photographer? I don't think so!" Bianca advanced on him as she hurled her accusation. Her accusation angered Tony, why would he lie about that he didn't lie about his passion.

"I did not lie about anything I just didn't tell how I had come to be here. I was going to tell you, but before I could they showed up! I needed time to tell you, I didn't want you to leave me!" Tony said meaning every word.

Bianca could tell by the look in his eye that he was upset with the situation, and she wanted to comfort him, but at the same time she wanted to slap him again. The urge to comfort him won out and she walked over to him and pulled him to her chest. Tony wrapped his arms around her waist, and moved them toward the sofa where he laid his head under her chin. He held her tight to him.

"Bianca, I'm sorry I didn't want to you to find out like this. I wanted to tell you I just didn't know how." Tony took a deep breath while still holding his woman.

"I can't tell you I understand because I don't know what you are going through. I just wish you would have told me sooner and in a better way. Why did you have to show up like this? In this suit and with bodyguards?"

Bianca asked this question, but what she really wanted to know was if he was going to go back.

"I just wanted to go for the shock factor. I thought you might take it better this way, and I have to that you did. You slapped me instead of crying." He laughed a little, "baby I think you are starting to come out of your shell."

"I guess I am, I have never slapped anyone before." Bianca said with a little bit of a surprised voice.

"Yea baby, you slapped the shit out of me. But I guess I deserved it."

Tony and Bianca sat wrapped in each others arms for awhile longer before pulling apart and looking at each other. Bianca looked at him with new eyes all she could think was what had he done in his past life. As she was looking at him with new eyes Tony was doing the same to her. To be honest he couldn't believe she had actually slapped him before he could catch her hand. He knew at that moment that she was his to keep.

"Hey Tony, what is this thing with you name?"

"Well, since I was on the run, I translated it. Instead of Antonio Marcato it is Anthony Strong. Marcato is loosely translated to strong in English. You know you are the only one besides my mother that calls me Tony?" Anthony said with a little smile.

"Can I ask you a question?" Bianca asked smiling back before her expression turned serious again.

"Sure." Tony had a feeling that he wasn't going to want to answer the question, but he wouldn't lie to her. If she was going to be with him she would have accept his past, and if he could ever be at true peace he would have to be brutally honest.

"Tony, have you ever killed anyone?" Bianca looked him straight in the eye wanting to know the absolute truth about the man she was beginning to love.

Tony looked back at her never breaking eye contact when he said,

"Yes."

*********To be Continued!*********



Armored Love Ch. 07



For the second time that day Bianca wanted to smack the shit out of Tony. How many revelations could she deal with today? First she learned that he, for all intents and purposes, was a mob boss. Then she learned that he was a killer, and the look in his eyes when he said 'yes' was cold. It was like he didn't care that he had taken lives. Bianca was floored by all the news, and she didn't have a clue as to how she was going to handle this. 

Bianca had to admit to herself that she did love him, but at the same time she didn't know if she could handle this. She had been though so much already. She was just getting over some of her issues, and now this was replacing the ones she was over and adding to the issues she still had.

Tony watched as Bianca paced back and forth in front of him. He watched as it seemed like she was having a conversation with herself; a heated one. Tony wanted to say something but the moment he went to open his mouth she would give him this look; a look that said shut fuck up. So he just watched her and he had to say he liked what he saw. He liked seeing her mad. He had never seen her mad before. 

Bianca had looked back at Tony when he wanted say something, if looks could kill right now he would be deader than a doornail. Then it hit her full force, everything started to sink in, and she had to take a seat. Bianca sat down and put her face in the palms of her hands. She sat that way for a little while until felt the couch dip beside her. Anthony leaned over and pulled her hands away from her face, and spoke while he held her hands to insure that he wouldn't be slapped again.

"Bianca, I will not lie to you. I know it seems soon, but I love you and I won't lie to you any longer. I didn't want to lie to you in the first place. To be honest I was about to tell you, but my father showed up. I didn't think they caught up to me already. I'm sorry...please tell me you understand... please forgive me." 

Tony had never pleaded before in his life, but this seemed like the right time to start. 

Bianca felt a sense of pleasure when he said that he loved her. No one had ever told her they loved her before; not even her own mother. So when she heard those words she wanted to accept his apology, but wanting to and actually accepting were two different things.

"Anthony, I...I love you too." Bianca said in a whisper. "But I don't think I can accept this. You have murdered people, and you sit here and say this without any remorse. What am I suppose to think? I could have handled it if was just the mob boss thing, and the other illegal things, but murder? I don't think so." 

Bianca snatched her arms away from him and stood up. She looked down at his face, and wanted to take back what she had said because of the crushed look on his face. Bianca felt the tears flow down her face, and she took a step back as Anthony stood up. It seemed like in that instant Anthony Strong ceased to exist. Antonio Marcato Jr. had taken his place. The crushed look on his face had disappeared, and a cold calculating look replaced it. It seemed as if the man that she had known had been a facade and this man was who he truly was. 

"Okay Bianca, if that is how you feel. I guess that is how it is going to be then."

Antonio looked at her for a moment then walked toward her and kissed her on the lips. The kiss was rough and not what she was used to with him, but she couldn't deny that she did feel that particular spark in her panties. Then she pulled away; she knew that breaking this off was the right thing to do.

"I really do love you." Tony said just before he walked out her front door, and her life.

One Month Later

Anthony looked out the tented window, watching Bianca take the stairs up to her home. It had been so long since he had seen her up close and personal; since he had talked to her. He wanted to hold her, taste her, and make her feel like she was the only woman in the world. But it seemed as if his spying would be the only way he could even see her. He had called and left her message after message, but she never answered or returned any of his calls.

He missed her, and he intended to have her again. Tony knew that it would be harder than ever now, because he had given in and taken over. The only good thing about it was that he saw his mother more often, and he wasn't running any more. Tony's father had been happy when he had decided to take over the business. It would never cease to amaze him, that no matter what, his father got his way. He had to admit though, it wasn't that bad. This is what he had be born to do and it showed when ever he did business. Now all he had to do was convince his woman to come back to him and everything would be good.

Bianca wondered if Anthony thought she didn't know he was following her. She had known since the moment he started doing so. Bianca, a paranoid person by nature, always paid attention to her surroundings. She knew that he had men follow her when she walked some where alone. They were hard to miss. Everywhere she went she saw the heavily tented Mercedes Benz. 

If she didn't know he meant well she would have been scared as hell. But she knew he would never hurt her. Bianca thought about him often, well he made sure of that he left he at least three messages a day. He would send her flowers and candy. Bianca just didn't know what to do.

By the looks of things he had taken back his old role in life. He was a mob boss for heavens sake. Bianca just didn't know how she would be able to let him back in her life knowing that he had killed people and that he was good at it. She didn't know if her love stretched that far.

Another month had went by and Anthony was still keeping tabs on Bianca, but he would stop soon. He had given her enough time and space, it was time that he stepped up and reclaimed his woman. Tony had never been one not to put everything into what he wanted, and now would not be the time to start. Bianca was the woman for him and he knew it and it was time she knew it as well.

Anthony watched as Bianca walked down to her car, and it looked as if she was doing that thing where she talked to herself, like giving herself a pep talk. He followed her as she pulled onto the freeway, and realized where ever she was going it was not somewhere she went often.

They drove for another thirty minutes before they reached a prominent suburb. All the houses were nice and big, but modest. He watched to see what street she turned on, then doubled back ten minutes later. The house that her car was parked in front was the one that stood out the most on the block. It just said look at me. He wondered whose house it was.

Bianca knew that this day was going to be stressful. Her father had called and asked if she would come visit him and her mother, because she hadn't been in awhile. She told him yes, but what she really to say was no. She didn't want to deal with her mothers' criticism right now. 

Bianca was not the same person that she was the last time she saw her mother, and she was liable to say something she had been wanting to say for years. Bianca hoped her mother would be a little less critical today, but she doubted it. She took a deep breath before she knocked on her parents door, and let it out as her father opened the door.

"Bianca, I am so glad you made it. I was beginning think that you wouldn't make it." her father said as he pulled her into a hug. 

Her father could only show her love if her mother wasn't around, or her mother would go into a diatribe about how he was spoiling Bianca by giving her a hug. Like he used to spoil her by giving her and extra roll at dinner or a piece of candy afterward. While everyone would be eating dessert Bianca wouldn't be allowed because she was too fat. According to her mother that is.

"Dad, you knew I was coming. I haven't seen you in awhile." Bianca hugging her father back.

"OOOH, you haven't seen HIM in awhile, but what about your mother Bianca?" her mother asked as she walked into the front room. "I haven't seen either one of you in a while, is what I meant." Bianca lied.

"What ever young lady, so have you found a man that wants you yet?" her Mother went right for the jugular.

"Look Dad....." her words were cut off by a knock at the door.

Anthony had used his wi-fi GPS to find out whose house it was, and he figured what better way to get her back than to get her family to like him, and from what she had told him he knew that she needed support. So he knocked on the door, and he hoped she played along.

Bianca's father turned and opened the door, and Bianca felt like she was going to pass out. Her first thoughts were what the fuck, and then thank heavens.

"I hope I'm not interrupting because I think I am late. Bianca, I'm not too late am I?" Anthony said as he invited himself in. 

He walked over to Bianca and kissed her soundly on the lips, then whispered in her ear,

"I just heard what she said, and no matter what I will always love you, so play along. Oh, and after this we have to talk."

Anthony then turned toward her mother and said,

"Yes, she has found a man that not only want her, but loves her. My name is Antonio Marcato, it is nice to meet you." 

Tony gave her mother his most charming smile as he turned and nodded his head toward her father. Bianca's father was the first to introduce himself, and he did so with a big smile on his face. 

"I am Richard Adams, Bianca's father. Bianca has never brought a man home with her before." Richard said as he reached out and shook Tony's hand. Noticing that his wife was being rude and hadn't introduced herself Richard took it upon himself to do so.

"And this my wife Juanita." Knowing that Juanita would not shake his hand he just smiled at her again.

Bianca couldn't believe he had been so bold as to actually come to the door. She wouldn't lie and say that it bothered her when he followed her; it didn't. That is how she knew he still loved her. Bianca wanted to thank and slap him all at once, but she knew he was just trying to be there for her. Bianca shook her head; it is going to be a long night, she thought.

Juanita seemed really upset that someone was actually paying attention to Bianca. She had been blocking attention from Bianca ever since she could remember. Bianca was the type that got attention without even realizing it. Juanita didn't like that, Bianca was the only one of her children that took attention away from her. It bothered her, so she started eating away at Bianca's self-esteem, and she didn't care. 

Bianca wasn't really fat she was just thick, but Juanita made sure Bianca felt that her size 16 was something she should be ashamed of. Richard knew better than to try and console Bianca, because if he did Juanita made sure he wouldn't be getting what he from her in the bedroom. No matter how much Richard wanted make Bianca feel better, he wanted to get his dick wet more. 

Juanita had learned long ago that the majority of men were ruled by what was in their pants, and her husband was no different. Juanita would only admit to herself that she had made Bianca's life a living hell, and she was proud of it. 

Juanita knew deep down that Bianca was her daughter and that she should love her, but the truth was that she hated her. It seemed like the moment Bianca was born she had stolen her spotlight, and Juanita couldn't let that happen so conditioned Bianca from a young age to feel like shit about herself. Until now that had worked, but it seemed as if this man was making Bianca feel as if she was more than she was. Well, not for long, Juanita thought , not for long.

Tony sat listening to Richard talk about the upcoming football game like he was interested, but what he was really interested were the scathing looks that Juanita was throwing Bianca's way. Bianca hadn't said much she just say close to him and pretended to listening to Richard as well, but it was hard when you being stared down as if you were a leper.

"So, Antonio, what is it that you do?" Juanita asked rudely.

"Well, I am a photographer, that is Bianca and I met actually." Tony replied sugar sweet.

"How is that?" Juanita said as she sat up like she really cared about what he said.

"I saw her one day and she was just sitting there looking all beautiful. I had to take her picture. So I asked her to model for me and the rest is history." Tony said as he leaned over kissed Bianca on the cheek. He felt her skin heat under his lips. 

Bianca couldn't believe he had just said that; her mother was going to have field day with this information. Juanita looked at Antonio and back to Bianca, and let out the loudest laugh. She hadn't heard a joke this funny in years and said as much and more.

"Why in the world would you want to photograph her? Did you need a before for one of those before and after pictures?" Juanita laughed at her own joke.

Bianca's whole body tensed but when he thought she might say something; she didn't say a word she just sat there. Tony looked up at Richard to see if he would say anything and not surprisingly he didn't. He then looked over at Juanita and answered her question.

"No, I wanted the pictures for my personal collection. I wanted to keep her all to myself. A beauty like her is rare, and I couldn't let her go." 

Bianca could hear the love in his voice when he said it, and she wanted to kiss him for standing up for her. Before Juanita could give her retort Tony stood then pulled Bianca up along with him. 

"Come on baby, I think it is time for us to go." Tony then turned to Richard,and said,

"You are the weakest man I have ever seen. I hope your getting what she promises you." 

Tony said knowing there was some underlying reason that Richard let his wife belittle their daughter that way. He also had the feeling that Bianca felt that her mother was this way just because she loved her. But he had already came to the conclusion that Juanita had some kind of disdain for Bianca, and he wanted to know why, and he knew the perfect person to find out.

In the meantime he had to get Bianca home so he could talk to her, because he could not live with out her any longer.

When Bianca and Tony arrived at his place he could tell that tonight's events were weighing heavy on her heart. This is the moment that made him realize what a strong woman she was to be able to take that kind of abuse all of her life. He knew then that he would make her is wife no matter what it took.

The moment they made it into his apartment Tony pulled her into a big hug, and held her until the tension left her body. She just wished that he hadn't had to witness such cruelty from her mother. Bianca felt ashamed that she couldn't stand up for herself. She wished he hadn't followed her after all.

"Bianca, I don't think your mother screwed too tight." Tony said in all seriousness. "I believe there is something underlying that makes her feel that way toward you."

"Tony, it has always been this way, and I don't think it is going to change. She has always said things like that to me. I guess it is her way of telling me she loves me; in a strange way." 

The words were barely out of her mouth before Tony was yelling at her.

"That woman is pure evil! I have seen hardened criminals with more heart than her!"

Bianca just stared at him knowing he was right, she couldn't even bring herself to defend her own mother. It was a sad day when that happens.

"I really don't visit that often because I know she will just ask about my weight or tell me how unattractive my clothes are. What she said was almost compliment."

He had listened to every word she just said and couldn't believe that she just accepted it and moved on like it didn't hurt her that her mother was an evil bitch. That reminded he had to give his mother a call. Elena Marcato would get an answer as to what was beneath this hatred he could count on it.

"Bianca you have told me before about how she has hurt you, but this is not normal. Why would someone belittle their child like that?" 

Tony pulled her into another hug; he could tell that what he was saying was starting to get to her.

To Bianca it seemed like those two months hadn't passed and it seemed like they went from zero to sixty in seconds. She knew that despite him saying what he was saying about her mother that he wanted to talk about their relationship. Bianca decided that she could give him that much. He had been there for her and the least she could do was hear him out so she said,

"So, you said we had to talk earlier. What did you want to talk about?"

"Well I know that you know that I have been following you. I also know that if you know that, you know that I am back in the business. My father told me to tell you hi by the way. He likes you." Tony stated with a smile. 

"Tony, I do know everything you just said, and I really appreciate you saving my butt today, but I don't know how it is going to work."

"Bella, I know being with me will be hard, but I can't live without you. And if you wanted to live without me you would have told me to stop following you." 

Tony placed his hands on her hips, and Bianca shivered. "And if you didn't want me your body would not react this way." he leaned in and licked her lips.

"MMM." she moaned as he started trailing kisses down her neck. 

"And baby you wouldn't be making those noises if you didn't want me." That's when he started caressing her lips with his.

Bianca knew she should stop him but he felt so good. He smelled good and tasted good. She knew that he was right and if loving him was wrong then fuck being right.

Tony wanted to feel her warm skin, so he quickly snatched off her skirt, and for lack of a better word, he ripped off her thin blouse.

"Oh my." Bianca said as she stood in front of Tony in nothing but her bra and panties. Tony had never been rough with her before, but she had to say that she liked it.

Tony advanced on her until the backs of her thighs hit the edge of the glass dining table. He picked her up and put her on the table, and placed himself between her legs. He ran his fingers between her breasts unhooking the front closure to her bra.

Bianca's lush breasts toppled out of the bra, and that's when she heard Tony groan. Then he slid his hands down her body to her panties, and he didn't bother sliding them down her thighs and legs he just ripped them off.

Bianca could feel her pussy get wet at his actions. It seemed like she was the only thing he saw, and she liked that. 

"Lay back." Tony said in a rough voice. Bianca complied.

He then pressed his hand to her stomach as he sat down in a chair. Tony then gripped her thighs and pulled her to him, and before she could protest he slid his tongue right over her clit. He just had to taste her. Tony loved the way her pussy tasted, and he planned to taste it until she begged him to stop. 

Bianca was in somebody's heaven when he tweaked her nipples and sucked her clit at the same time. It felt so damn good. She did not want him to stop. Her body jerked away as he kept licking her, but he pulled her even closer.

"HMMM, stay still Bianca."

"I can't!" she screamed "It feels so gooooooood!" 

With her words he nibbled on her clit then blew on it a little, and that is when she came.

Her thighs tightened around his head and she let out a loud scream. Bianca's body shook as he delivered a few more light licks to her clit before making his way up her body and licking her chocolate nipples. Her legs wrapped around him as he kissed her breasts. Tony was sure that she could feel his hard dick pressing against her wetness. Especially when she moaned and clamped he legs tighter. He had only managed to get down to his boxers, and she was so wet it soaked right through.

"Shit." Tony said as he felt her cream coat his dick. He laid his head on her chest as she moved her pussy against him.




Armored Love Ch. 07



"Bianca stop moving." he said barely above a whisper. If she didn't stop moving he was bound to fuck her, and he didn't want to fuck her on his table.

Bianca heard his words but she was so close, and it felt so good. She gasped as his member slid out of his boxers and touched her skin to skin. 

The moment Tony felt himself slide against Bianca he knew that he would have to stop at that moment or there would be no turning back. He gripped her hips in his hands and pulled away from her. He had told her he wanted their first time to be special, so he was not going to fuck her on this table; not yet anyway.

"Bianca, we can't do this, we need to talk before we go any further." 

Tony had to admit he sounded like a female, but he had to know that she was not just doing this because of today. He wanted their relationship to mean something.

Bianca could not believe that she had almost had sex on a glass table. Wow, that was all she could think about that. But she also wanted to know why it was that every time they were about to have sex he stopped her. Bianca didn't like that.

"Tony, why do you always stop when we are about to to to...well you know." Bianca said while reaching for his shirt because he had ripped hers.

"Because there is always something else going on when it happens." Tony replied while taking them over to the couch. 

"I have to know Bianca. I have to know that you want to be with me. This is the first time we have spoken in months and we need to talk before things get anymore complicated. I love you, and I want to be with you. But the question is do you want the same, and do you love me?"

Bianca looked over at him and wondered to herself how couldn't she love him. Hehad done things for her that her family never had and he stood up for her. Tony says the question is if she loved and wanted to be with him, but that wasn't the question at all. The real question was could she accept his life, and what he did for a living. Bianca said as much.

"Bianca, I would never let anything bad happen to you, I love you. I never have felt this way about anyone before. I can't change the fact the I am a mob boss. Even if I wasn't I would still be one. You know it is one of those things that one can't change"

"Tony, I love you and get what you are saying. So I will throw caution to the wind and believe you, but I swear if one thing goes wrong I will not be shy and let you get away with it." Bianca said knowing she couldn't hurt a fly, but she had slapped him before so she hoped he believed her.

Antonio's head snapped up as her words sunk in. He had to make sure he had heard her correctly.

"Don't play with my feelings Bianca. Are still my woman?"

"Yes, Tony I am still your woman." Bianca replied with a smile.

Tony gripped her in hug, the hug he gave her told her that he wanted to have her forever, and that he never wanted to let her go.

"I love you Bianca." Tony said as he kissed her neck.

"I love you too Antonio." She was about to kiss him when a soft knock sounded at the door.

They looked over at the clock and it was only six thirty. Tony wasn't going to answer the door when the soft knock came again, and the person on the other side of the door spoke.

"Antonio Marcato Jr. open this door. It's you Mother."

I guess I don't have to call her after all, Tony thought.

~KOCO~

*

The look on Bianca's face was priceless as she hurried to Tony's room to find something to cover her nakedness. Oh my God! Bianca thought as she heard Tony open the door. This was not the way that she wanted to meet his mother. Bianca was sure that Mrs. Marcato would know what they had been up to.

Tony looked over as Bianca rushed away, and all he could do was laugh. Tony knew that Bianca was worried about how she would look to his mother. His mother would find this amusing. Everyone thought she was just a down right bitch, but the truth was that she wasn't. Oh don't get it wrong Elena Marcato didn't take any shit. She would tell you like it was no matter what, but she was by no means a bitch; people only perceived her that way because they could not handle the truth.

Tony knew for a fact that she would love Bianca. He just hoped his mother didn't make Bianca uncomfortable with her open honesty. His Mama was not a bitch, but she was tactless. 

Tony smiled as he opened the door.

"Hi, Mama." Tony said as he pulled her into a tight hug.

"Hello Antonio, how is my son?" Elena asked hugging him back as he shut the door.

"I'm good. How about you?"

"Great, I'm Great. Now that your father is at home more." Elena said as she looked around and noticed the way the area was in slight disarray. 

She then looked back at Tony and noticed that he was shirtless and he had what looked like a fresh hickey. Hmmmm, she wondered what she had interrupted.

"That is great Mom. I'm happy that I can see you more now too. I have missed you." Tony said as they took a seat on the sofa. That was the moment Bianca decided to come out of his room. 

She had found some sweat pants, and a t-shirt. Both were baggy on her, but he had to say that she looked sexy as hell.

"Mama, I would like for you to meet my girl. This is Bianca." Tony said proudly.

Bianca reached her hand out to shake Elena's, but Elena looked at her hand like it was snake.

Elena then stood up and said,

"Girl, if you don't give me a hug." Elena pulled Bianca into a motherly hug. Bianca was taken aback by the affection. Her mother had never hugged her that way before.

"N...N..Nice to meet you Mrs. Marcato." Bianca stumbled as she was released from the hug.

"Bianca, what a pretty name. And please sweetheart, call me Elena or Mama. If Tony didn't send you away that means you're special. He has never introduced any of his female friends." Elena said smiling.

Bianca couldn't believe that this was Tony's mother ,she looked so young. But one could tell by the way she spoke that she had a wisdom that came with living. So that's where he got his blond hair from, Bianca thought as they all took a seat. 

At the same time Bianca was relieved that Tony's mother wasn't appalled at the the fact that she was black. To be honest she would have expected that his mother would have a problem with her because of her skin color, but fortunately she had been wrong.

"So, Tony tell me why you have been hiding her away." Elena said.

"I have not been hiding her away. We just got back together actually." Tony replied. He wondered why his mother was asking him questions that he knew she most likely already knew the answers to. Being married to a mob boss for over twenty years had taught her some things; she had resources and was not afraid to use them.

"Well you two make a lovely couple, but I came by to see how you've been. I know your father has been happy with your decision." 

Elena's words proved that she already knew what was going on. She had just met Bianca, but he knew that she had known about her for awhile if she felt comfortable enough to speak in her company.

"Thanks Mom, and I know that Dad is happy now that I took over, but he needs to know that I am not going to do this forever. I want to have a life and I don't want Bianca worrying so much." 

"Antonio that is understandable, but you have to understand that your father spent his life building this organization. You can not just throw it all away." Elena said coming to stand in front of Tony.

Tony stood as well, before speaking his mind.

"Mom, I am not going to throw it away. I can either go legit or give the business over to Nic." He waited for the outburst he knew was coming.

Elena took a quick look over at Bianca before she lit into Tony.

"You have to be fucking kidding me Antonio!? You know your father will not go for either of those things." 

"I don't care what he thinks Mom. I have control now, so we will do one or the other!" Antonio knew it was coming before the stinging slap landed across his face. Elena slapped him so hard he could taste the blood in his mouth.

"Do not ever in this life raise your voice at me." Elena said in an deadly voice.

"Look Mama I'm sorry for yelling, but what I says goes so there is nothing you or Dad can do about it."

Elena took a deep breath knowing that he was right, and she had to admit that Tony had a good head on his shoulders. Out of her two boys he was the one who excelled at everything he put his mind to. Elena loved both her boys the same, but she knew that Nic didn't have the know how to run the business. She knew he would fuck it up; she just hoped that Tony didn't make any rash decisions.

"Tony, you know I love you. All I can say is just don't do anything stupid, and make sure you talk your father first. I do not want him upset. Understand?"

"Yes, Mama. I completely understand." Tony said leaning in to give his mother an hug. She hugged him back before turning to speak to the silent Bianca.

"Call me if he gives you any trouble sweetie. You two have to come over to the house soon, and have dinner." Elena said as if she hadn't just slapped Tony across the face and told him she loved him in the same minute.

Bianca shook off her shock before she spoke.

"Sure, we would love to have dinner. And I will make sure I call you if he makes me too mad." Bianca joked as she and Tony walked Elena to the door.

"You do that. Well I will see you you two soon, ciao for now." Elena said. Just as she was about to walk out the door Tony stopped her asked,

"Mom, would it be okay if Bianca parents came to dinner as well?"

Elena turned and made eye contact with her son for a few long moments before saying yes. Elena wondered what was up. She knew something was bothering him, but she guess she would find out when they all came to dinner.

"Thanks Mama, see you later."

*************************

Who the fuck did Marcato think he was? Drago thought as he paced his office. He had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in the last month. And it was all do to Marcato. Drago had heard about him on the street, and had thought nothing of him because his father had never ever interfered with his business. 

It seemed as if the younger Marcato wasn't taking the same path. He had lost a fourth of his profit, and he didn't like loosing money. Drago had been trying to work his way up the ranks for years and he had been one big deal away when Marcato had blew in and fucked up his operation. 

Drago thought about what he was going to do to get what was owed to him. First he had to take out Marcato. And what better way to do that than to hit him where it hurts. Drago looked down at the the picture of the fine ass black woman in the picture. Her ass was his then he'd leave her piece by piece packed in FedEx boxes. He wondered how long it would take for Marcato to realize it was her. 

*******************************

Bianca had been nervous about asking her parents to have dinner with Tony's family, but she asked anyway and was surprised that they accepted. She would not lie and say that after the dinner at their place weeks ago things had been strained. Bianca had a feeling that this dinner was not going to go any better. She just hoped her mother kept her hateful comments to herself.

Bianca looked up at the clock in her home office and realized that she need to start getting ready for the gathering. Antonio would be there to pick her up in less than an hour. She had decided to wear a pair of black legging with a red and black cashmere sweater dress that came to mid thigh. She paired her outfit with some low healed boots. Bianca applied some sheer gloss and mascara. She had to say she looked pretty good.

Just as she finished dressing she could hear the lock turning. Bianca had given Tony a key a few weeks ago, and he had given her one as well. They had began moving their relationship to another level. Them exchanging keys showed their trust in each other. Bianca had to admit that she was grateful to have someone in her life that she could trust. She had never had that before. Tony made her feel safe.

"Hey baby, are you ready to go?" Tony asked as he found her in front of her bathroom mirror. Bianca seemed to get prettier every time he saw her. She looked good in her clothes. Tony just had to look his fill.

Bianca smiled as he looked her up and down. His heated stare made her hot in all the right places. Before her thoughts turned too dirty she replied to his question.

"Yes, just let me grab my clutch and we can walk into the flames together." Bianca said the last part jokingly. She just didn't know how this dinner was going pan out.

Antonio tried soothing her worries by telling her everything would be fine, but Bianca had a feeling that it wouldn't be. As quiet as it kept Tony had the same feeling.

************************

In the next thirty minutes Bianca, Tony, and her parents were entering what could only be called a mansion. The house sat on at least 500 acres of land right on the outskirts of town. The landscaping was immaculate. Bianca's parents looked around the immense lands in shock. Bianca looked over at her mother while they all waited for someone to answer the door. Her mother looked as if she has just eaten a lemon.

Her face showed her jealousy. Bianca knew her mother would take her issues out her, she just hoped it wasn't at dinner. Her thoughts were interrupted as Elena opened the door and welcomed them all inside. Behind her was Marcato looking suave in his expensive looking sweater and slacks

"Come in, Come in." Elena said cheerfully as she hugged Tony and Bianca, something Bianca still wasn't used to.

As they all made it inside and got settled,Bianca introduced her parents to Tony's. 

"Mr. and Mrs. Marcato these are my parents Richard and Juanita Adams." Bianca said.

"Nice to meet you." 

Marcato responded shaking both of their hands. At that moment Tony inconspicuously locked eyes with his mother then nodded his head toward Juanita. Elena winked back at her son. She would be paying very close attention to Juanita Adams tonight. 

"Likewise." Richard said. As the two wondered off and started talking politics with Tony in tow, that left Bianca to fend for herself with her mother and Elena.

With an obviously fake smile, Juanita turned to Elena and said,

"You have a stunning home."

"Thank you. My husband had it built for me about 20 years ago. I love this house." Elena said smiling ever so sweetly.

"Bianca how have you been, I haven't seen you in awhile? " Elena asked turning towards her.

"I am doing good I guess." Bianca said with a smile.

Before Elena could respond Juanita did.

"What do you mean you guess? You either know if you've been good or you don't." 

Elena didn't say anything she just watched, and waited for Bianca's response. The only response was Bianca visibly tensing at her mothers words. 

"Well, I am glad you are doing well sweetheart." Elena finally said.

"Thanks and how about yourself?" Bianca asked wringing her hands.

"I am very well. Dinner should be ready shortly, so why don't we make our way to the table, and wait for the men." Elena said.

As Bianca and her mother followed Elena to the table Juanita whispered for only Bianca to hear,

"You need to go anywhere but near a table of food." Bianca sucked in a shocked breath at her mothers unexpected words. It seemed as if she had been right. Her mother was going to hand it to her tonight. She just hoped that she wouldn't embarrass her.

As the women sat down at the lovely cherry wood table, that could seat twelve people, the men walked in and joined them. The moment Antonio walked in the room Bianca locked eyes with him and he knew he shouldn't have left her alone with her bitch of a mother. 

As bad as he felt, Bianca was going to have to start standing up to her mother, or the woman would continue to belittle her. Tony was glad his mother was here she most definitely had a way with words; more so than Juanita Adams.

Tony took his seat beside Bianca and leaned into kiss her as he sat down. He could feel how tense her body was just by looking at her. 

"You okay baby?" he whispered in her ear.

Bianca just nodded with a weak smile. They both knew that the night had just begun.

"So, Mr. Marcato what is it that you do for a living?" Juanita asked while quickly taking the bowl of potatoes from Bianca before she could put any on her plate.

The action didn't go unnoticed by Elena or anyone for that matter. Richard cleared his throat and looked away. Richard was even weaker than Tony first thought. No matter the situation what man wouldn't protect their daughter? That answer was obvious. Marcato lifted a brow and looked at Tony. He shook his head.

"Well, I am a retired businessman." Marcato stated slowly. 

Knowing that Juanita was fishing for attention. Her hatred of Bianca was very visible. He knew he didn't like her or her husband. If that what you would call a man like Richard. He seemed like a man decent earlier, but in the presence of his wife he was....well he was a bitch. Marcato could tell that Juanita had Richard's balls in a vice. 

"It must be nice to have the free time then." Juanita said with a smile. It quickly fell off her face as Elena pointedly looked at her and handed the potatoes back to Bianca.

"Bianca, you can't just eat salad. Eat some meat too." Elena said as she handed the potatoes to Bianca then placed a few beef slices on her plate.

"Potatoes have too much starch, she is already fat enough." Juanita said as she took the potatoes back and placed the meat on her own plate. Bianca just sat there not saying a word. She didn't want to feed into her mother ignorance. Bianca knew that if she tried to speak up for herself her mother would just keep attacking her. She didn't want to be anymore embarrassed than she already was.

Just as Antonio was about to open his mouth to say something he thought better of it. This was the whole reason he had invited Bianca's parents. 

He let his mother handle it. 

Elena had been watching the whole exchange. This beautiful girl was sitting in front of her not believing in herself. She could tell when she first met Bianca that there was more beneath the surface. 

So this was why. She had a verbally abusive mother and a weakling of a father. As Juanita said those words Elena could tell that Bianca believed her. Elena now knew what the problem was, and it wasn't just hatred it was jealousy.

Elena had come to think of Bianca as her daughter. The only way Tony would bring a woman home was if he planned to marry her. If her son loved this woman then so did she, and she protected her family. Elena decided no to just watch any more; she spoke her mind.

"Mrs. Adams please tell me just who the fuck are you to tell this girl that she can't eat some meat and potatoes." Elena stated so calm and sweet that the whole table took a second to register what she said. 

Bianca's head snapped up and looked from Elena to her mother. Tony and Marcato just shook their heads and smiled because they had already known that Elena was going sink her teeth into Juanita. Tony had been counting on it. Richard just took in a shocked breath not saying a word.

Juanita's reaction was a dumbfounded look on her face. Like she didn't believe that Elena had spoken to her in such a way. She was about to say something when Elena cut off her response by answering her own question.

"You are a jealous bitch that's who. I eat bitches like you for desert. I wish you would say something to me right now. I have watched you hurt this girl for the last hour , and I won't stand for it any longer." Elena said these heated words like she was in the most pleasant conversation. 

Bianca couldn't believe that Elena was standing up for her. Tony was the only person to ever stand up for her. She was brought out of her thoughts when Elena turned her eyes to her and gave what could only be the motherly advice of a mobsters wife.

"Bianca, I can say that I love you like a daughter already, but you have to learn to stand up for yourself. This bitch is your mother so I won't tell you to hit her because you should never hit your mother. But you should give as good as you get. Call her out on her shit because I won't do it again." Elena said to Bianca with a rather serene smile.

Bianca knew that Elena was right. It made her feel good inside that someone had her back. She then realized that Elena was the only one besides Tony and occasionally her father that told her they loved her. 

Just as Elena thought to to turn her deceptively calm wrath on Richard, Juanita actually had the nerve to raise her hand to slap Bianca as if it was her fault that Elena wasn't taking any of her shit. And like she wasn't the one to put her own foot in her mouth.

"You stupid little bitch." Juanita said as her hand made resounding contact with the palm of Bianca's hand. 

Juanita was utterly stunned that Bianca caught her hand before she slapped her face. Bianca might let her mother belittle her but she wouldn't let her hit her. It seemed as if time stood still as everyone looked at the two of them staring at each other.  

Bianca stood and let go of her mothers' hand. Her mother had never tried to hit her before. It made something click inside Bianca that should have clicked a long time ago. She could not let her mother do this to her any longer. And until her father got a fucking backbone she didn't think she should talk to him. 

Marcato suddenly spoke. 

"Thanks for coming to dinner. It has been interesting, but I think it is time for you two to leave." 

Richard still didn't speak as he pulled his wife out the door. By the look on his face he could tell that he was embarrassed by what his wife had done.

Tony looked up at Bianca and he knew it was also time for them to leave. He stood and pulled her into his arms. He loved her so much. He didn't know anyone with her kind of self control. 

"Thanks for dinner Mama. Dad." Tony said as he hugged Bianca close. She still hadn't spoken a word. 

Elena knew her son was thanking her for much more.

"You know that you both are welcome anytime. Take care Bianca. If you ever need to talk, I am here." Elena said giving both Tony and Bianca a hug. 

Bianca knew that Elena meant what she said. Not only about being her confidant, but everything else that she had said as well. Bianca was coming to realize that she had to stand up for herself. Because if she didn't take a stand on her own behalf, in the long run who would? Tony or Elena wouldn't be there to stand up for her every time she was with her mother. It was time to make a change. The first step had been tonight. She thought as she and Tony said good night to Marcato.

Bianca was totally surprised when Marcato pulled her in to a tight fatherly hug. She shyly hugged him back.

"If you need anything don't hesitate to ask, capisce?" Marcato said looking all gentle ben; a total contradiction to his normal wise guy persona. 

Bianca nodded. A look passed between the Marcato men as Bianca and Tony walked out the door and into the night. 




Armored Love Ch. 08



********************************* 

As Bianca and Tony headed back to his apartment. Drago and his men stood inside of Bianca's home. He had been tailing her for a while, and he had decided that tonight was the night to send Marcato a message. He wasn't going to go down without a fight, but he couldn't wait until he got the bitch though. Fucking up her apartment was just the beginning of what he had planned for her. 

Once he got her Drago planned to torture her until she begged him to kill her, then he would kill her. Limb by limb until she bled to death. Drago got a hard on just thinking about Marcato's face as he would open the FedEx boxes full of Bianca's body parts. While Drago was wrapped up in his thoughts his men took baseball bats to every part of Bianca's apartment. Glass flew every where, wood splintered, and paper floated in the air. 

*********************************

Tony and Bianca hadn't spoken a word to each other on the way home. They had been preoccupied with their own thoughts. As they entered Antonio's apartment the sexual tension between them could be cut with a knife. Tony didn't think he would be stopping the action tonight. 

They were both too wound up and making love to each other was going to solve that problem. The moment Bianca dropped her purse on the sofa table Tony was her pulling her into his arms. Bianca wrapped her arms around Tony's neck as Tony's lips locked with hers. 

It was a sweet kiss; it was rough and wet as they licked and sucked at each others lips. Bianca moaned when Tony slid his hands up her thighs and inside her panties. Bianca was already wet for him. A slight shudder went through Tony's body as he encountered he wet pussy. He couldn't wait to taste her. 

Bianca knew that this time was different when he slid his finger slowly over her opening over and over as if he was struggling no to slid his thick fingers inside her warmth. Tony moved them toward his room, never once pulling his mouth from hers. When they landed on the bed Tony quickly moved to strip Bianca out of her clothes. 

When she was completely naked Antonio had to look his fill. He loved all her curves, and he planed to lick every one of them. 

"You are so beautiful." Tony said quietly as he striped out of his clothes as well. 

If one looked close enough you could tell that she was flushed from head to toe.

"You are too." Bianca replied softly as she looked at his well sculpted body. She loved how big and muscular he was. 

Tony just gave her a wicked smile before pulling her to the end of the bed and diving right into her pussy with his tongue.

"Ohhhmigod." Bianca screamed as her whole body arched at the unexpected pleasure. 

Her screams urged Tony on he just kept licking and sucking her clit until she came and came again. Just when Bianca thought that he was finished he would tweak her nipples and go at her pussy all over again. He seemed as if he loved the way her pussy tasted. 

When his appetite was sated he kissed his way up her softly rounded belly making an erotic trail to her breasts. When he reached her nipples he licked and sucked on them making Bianca squirm against him.

"You like that baby?" Tony asked as he reached down and rubbed her clit.

"Yes. Yes. I love it, but can I touch you?" Bianca asked shyly looking at Tony.

The way she asked that question almost made him cum. 

"Not this time baby, if you touch me before I get inside you I might not be able to control myself." Tony said before kissing her neck.

"Are you sure you're ready. Do you want this?" Tony needed to know before they went any further.

"Yes, I want this. I want it." Bianca said sliding her body against him. Tony closed his eyes; composing himself.

Tony made sure she was super wet for him as he lowered his head and kissed her. Tony licked his tongue in and out of her mouth. When Bianca wrapped her legs around his hips he knew she was wanting him inside her. He placed his dick at her opening and slowly slid inside. He felt her pussy stretching to accommodate his size, then he felt the resistance.

Then he felt her body stiffen as she felt the slight pain of him trying to break her hymen.

"Shh baby, its okay. I'll do it quick. It will only hurt for a minute." Tony said.

Bianca just nodded and looked into his eyes as he pushed his way fully inside her.

"Ahhhhhhh." Bianca screamed at the pain, but she never closed her eyes. 

Antonio groaned as her pussy clamped tight on his dick. It took everything in his power not to move. He wanted to stroke her so bad.

"You okay?" Tony asked in a strained voice.

Bianca nodded. Arching her body into him; her body telling him to move. So he did. 

He stoked her deep and got an ear popping scream out of his woman. 

"Tony!! Tony!!" Bianca chanted his name like her life depended on it.

Tony just kept fucking her and soon she picked up the rhythm and moved her body along with his.

"Fuck!" Tony said as Bianca's sheath convulsed on his dick. He knew she was cumming by the way her finger nails scratched up and down his back. The way she bit into his shoulder made him stroke her harder and harder until he came. 

Bianca could feel Tony's hot cum shoot inside her pussy and it made her cum again. 

"Yes ohmigod yes!" Bianca screamed.

"Oh god is right baby." Tony said with an amazed chuckle. 

He didn't know pussy could be that good. Tony wrapped his arms around Bianca and flipped them until Bianca was resting on top of him. With the movement his cock slipped out of her pussy. 

That was when he realized that he had not used a condom. Before he mentioned it though he went to the bathroom to get a towel to clean up Bianca's blood. When he had cleaned them both he returned to his spot beneath her in the bed. 

"Hey baby I'm so sorry , but I forgot to use a condom." Tony said. He immediately felt her body stiffen. He thought it was because she feared she would get pregnant. But he had no idea that in no way was that the reason for Bianca's sudden stiffness.

When he said the words the first thoughts that came to Bianca's mind were: how was she going to tell him that he didn't have to ever worry about her getting pregnant. 

Well the night couldn't get any worse so she decided to go with the direct approach.

"Well, um you don't have to worry about it." She said slowly

"Why? Are you on birth control?" Tony said rubbing a hand up and down her back.

"Something like that. I got a permanent dose of birth control when I was attacked." Bianca replied softly waiting for what she said to register in his brain. 

She knew the moment he did because he went perfectly still. 

Tony did a mental shake of the head; did that mean that she was unable to have kids?

Tony asked he as much.

"Yes, as a result of the injuries I got from the attack I was told that I was barren."

Bianca said knowing that after tonight she would be alone again. Men like Tony wanted lots of kids and she couldn't even give him one. Life sure was a bitch.

Antonio's mind was spinning. It seemed as if his body had gone numb. Tony knew that what happened in Bianca's past was damaging to her; mentally and physically but he had no clue that the damage had been that permanent. Tony was angry very angry, as he just laid next to Bianca stock still. He honestly couldn't believe what she just said to him. What pissed him off most was that she was just now telling him.

He didn't care if she couldn't have kids; he really didn't. There were so many kids out there that could be adopted, so her being barren wasn't the issue. The issue for Tony was that she just now told him about it. After everything that they had been through together Bianca should have trusted him enough to tell him. Tony was hurt. 

He loved Bianca with all his heart and just wanted her to be able to tell him anything. Tony was pulled out of his thoughts by Bianca's frantic movements. She was looking for her clothes. Tony sat up immediately wondering where she was going.

"What are you doing Bianca? You are not going anywhere until we talk about this." Tony said grabbing her and pulling her back into the bed. Even though he was upset with her he didn't want her to leave him.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Tony asked looking her in the eye.

Bianca shivered and Tony rubbed her arms. She could tell that he was angry. That was the last thing Bianca wanted. She just wanted him to be happy. Her not being able to have kids was not making him happy. 

"Honestly, I didn't think you would want to be with me if I couldn't bare children. What man wants a woman who can't give him kids?" Bianca said 

"Baby, no matter what I will always want you, and love you. The only reason I am upset is that you waited this long to tell me. I want you to be able to tell me anything." Tony said as he knelt down in front of her.

"Well, that is not something many people know about me. The only person who knows is my mother. And that's bad enough. You know what she said to me when I told her?" Bianca asked.

"What did she say?" Tony asked after a long pause.

"She told me that it was God's way of telling me that I wouldn't be a good mother. She told me to get over it." Bianca whispered ashamed to say her mother's thoughts aloud.

Tony just shook his head; still not believing that a mother could be so cruel. 

"Baby, You know that is not true. Fuck her, she is the one that shouldn't have children. The only reason I tolerate the idea of her is that she brought you into the world. And baby I don't know what I would do without you." Tony said just as he reached up to hug her.

Bianca hugged him back breathing a sigh of relief that he didn't seem to mind her barren state.

"I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you before." She said feeling like she was going to cry.

"I get why you didn't, but just remember you can tell me anything. I won't judge you. Who am I to judge?" Tony with a hint of humor.

Bianca chuckled a little.

"Okay, I will tell you things from now on." she said.

"Well, I don't about know you but I need a shower; you coming?" Tony said while standing and holding his hand out to her.

Bianca took his hand and followed him in the bathroom. She had never been one for water sports but after that night she was an expert. As the spray of the shower pelted down on them Tony washed Bianca's body.

He made sure he washed her gently between her legs, knowing she was still tender from the night before. Bianca relaxed letting Tony take care of her. He was the only one to ever care enough to do so. Tony leaned in and kissed her. Bianca licked her tongue across his lips, and Tony sucked it into his mouth. He pulled away to ask her was too sore for them to make love.

"No, baby. I want you so bad." Bianca panted as she arched her body into his.

Tony moaned and lifted her against the wall, wrapped her legs around his waist, and slowly slid into her. 

********************

The next morning Tony kissed Bianca goodbye when he dropped her off at home. The kiss lingered a little larger than normal since their emotions were still running high.

"MMMM, baby I need to go but I will call you later. I want to take you out to my favorite restaurant." Antonio said.

"Okay, I will talk to you later then. Have a good day baby." Bianca said hopping out the car. She quickly walked up to her building then jogged up the stairs. 

The moment she got in front of her door she knew something was wrong. The door was unlocked. That was the first clue.

When she pushed the door open with her foot she let out a strangled scream. Her apartment looked like something out of a junkyard. 

Bianca's couch cushions were slit, the glass tables and windows were shattered, and the air reeked of urine. Bianca took a step back when she took in the words 'bitch' and 'Marcato whore' painted in thick red paint across her walls. 

Bianca stood there for about fifteen minutes in shock before she called Tony. For some reason she didn't think the police should be involved.

Tony looked down at the caller id as he stepped into his office. He started not to answer but something just told him to.

"Hey, baby. You miss me already?" Tony joked.

All he heard was hard breathing and that caught his attention.

"Bianca? What is wrong?" He asked worriedly 

"T...T..Tony, could you please come back?" Bianca said in a watery voice.

"Why? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Tony asked making his way back to his car.

"Just get here." Bianca said then hung up the phone.

"Bianca? Bianca! Shit!" Tony said making record time back to Bianca's place.

******************

Tony ran up the stairs when he reached Bianca's apartment. He just hoped she was okay. She had sounded like she was really upset, and found out why when he open the door to her apartment. Tony knew that his life was pulling her in when he saw 'Marcato whore' splashed on the walls in red paint. 

"Bianca, where are you?" Tony said kicking his way through the debris.

"Back here." came her reply.

Tony made his way to he office where she was sorting through her stuff. 

"What happened? Are you okay?" Tony said stupidly

Bianca turned and looked at Tony with fire in her eyes.

"You tell me. How the fuck am I supposed to know what happened, Antonio!" Bianca yelled getting close to his face. Her anger had made her bolder than ever.

"Baby," Tony said trying to calm her down, "I have know clue who did this. By the words on walls, who ever did this is after me not you. I will look into it." Tony said calmly touching her cheek.

Bianca knew that Tony being a mob boss would effect her in some way, but she didn't think this would be the way. Tony said that they were gunning for him but it was she that they lashed out at. She told Tony this.

"I know baby, but they are just doing it to get to me. They wanted to send me a message. I have gotten it, and I will deal with it accordingly." Antonio said while pulling away from Bianca. 

He didn't want her to see the murderous look in his eyes.

Someone was going to die soon.

****************

After Tony helped her grab her work from the office, and he called someone to restore her apartment, they went back to his place. She wasn't surprised that they didn't speak to each other the rest of the day. 

She was angry, and so was he. So Bianca was surprised when he came and sat next to her on the couch and pulled her in to his arms. Bianca could feel his emotions deep inside her body. 

"Baby, I don't what I would do if someone would hurt you. This happening was bad enough. What if you had walked in on them. They would have hurt you, and I wouldn't have been able to stop them." Tony said hugging Bianca tighter before letting her go.

"Tony, everything is going to be okay." Bianca said rubbing her hand up his back. 

That is the only thing she could think of to say. Because honestly, she didn't know what was going to happen from this point. 

"How about I make you some food and then we can call it a night." Bianca stated.

"I'm sorry baby, but not tonight I have to get on this. Are you going to be okay while I am gone?" Antonio asked as he stood and started slipping on his leather jacket.

Bianca just wanted him to stay with her, but she knew he wouldn't rest until he found whoever had trashed her apartment. 

"Sure baby, I will see you later. Love you." Bianca said while leaning in to give him a kiss.

The kiss lasted longer than they both intended, but they both need the physical contact. Tony lightly licked Bianca's lips before he pulled away. 

"Love you too baby, I will see you later." Tony said before walking out the door.

***************

Tony had called his men earlier that day to plan this meeting. They were waiting for him in his office when he arrived. He got right down to business.

"Do any of you know who could have done this?" Antonio said.

His brother Nic was the one to speak. Nic had gotten their fathers' features whereas Tony had received there mothers'. Where Tony had blond hair and hazel green eyes, Nic had black hair and startling blue green eyes. They were both tall and menacing though, and that is what identified them as brothers, and of course that wicked Marcato smile.

"Drago did it Antonio. Who else?" Nic said sarcastically.

Antonio looked over at his brother knowing that is brother wished that their father had given him rule over the business. Nic just didn't know that after this Antonio was more than willing to give it to him. But he had a score to settle. Preferably in blood.

"I know he had a beef with us but why make it personal? It's just business." Antonio replied.

"Because since you came aboard he has lost a fortune." Nic said 

"Not my fault that he can't handle his business." Antonio said as he walked over to his bar and poured himself a whiskey.

"Can I talk to you in private for a minute?" Nic asked then walked out the door before he got a response. Antonio followed.

"What is it Nic?" 

"Even though you piss me off, and I wish Dad had handed me the business..."

"Make your point Nic." Tony said.

"Your my bother and I love you, so I will tell you that this man is out for blood." Nic said.

That got Antonio's attention.

"What makes you say that?" Tony asked.

"Because he has not been low key about it. He makes sure everyone knows that he is not going down without a fight and he plans on taking you with him. By his actions I'm guessing he is going to try and take you down by way of Bianca. Who I have not met yet by the way."

"Well no one fucks with me and gets away with it, most people know that if they fuck with me or mine, being fertilizer will be their next occupation ." Antonio said ignoring Nic's last comment.

"Well, Antonio people knew that before, but now it's like you are new to the game and it seems you have dominated it, and people, especially Drago, don't like losing." Nic stated. 

With the way he was talking you would think Marcato wouldn't have a problem handing the business over to Nic. Looks can be so deceiving. Tony turned his attention back to Nic.

"Well, Nic, I guess I will just have to refresh everyone's memory. Find them."

Antonio said then downed his whiskey.

Nic nodded. Tonight was going to be a long very bloody night.

*********************** 

Bianca was beginning to get worried. Tony had been gone for more than two hours. Every time she called him he didn't answer. She just hoped he was okay. Bianca couldn't help but wonder what was really going on in his life.

They didn't talk about his business, and she didn't want to, but she did wonder what it really was that he did. Bianca knew that she was a mobsters woman, but now Bianca was wondering if she could really handle this lifestyle.

***************************

Drago knew they were coming before they busted in his door. He had been counting on it. As his men fought off the Marcato's and lost, Drago and his right hand man Simon fled out the back door. Marcato's bitch had to be at his place.

*****************

Nic and the rest of the men killed every man in place, but two for information. As Nic put the last of his clip in one man's chest he noticed Drago running out the back with another man. Nic chased after him but lost them as they disappeared into the night.

"Okay fellas grab those two and let's take them back to Antonio?" Nic ordered. He just hoped they could information out of them.

************************

The stomach curdling scream that Drago's lackey let out brought an evil grin to Antonio's face. The lackey's finger's went limp as Tony broke them in one snatch and twist of his hands.

"I won't ask you again, where the fuck is Drago?" Antonio said adding a back hand for good measure.

The lackey spit blood out of his mouth before he answered.

"He probably has your bitch by now, you dumb fuck." that was the last thing he said as one of Tony's men shot him in the head.

"What the fuck Andy!" Antonio shouted.

"Sorry boss, my finger slipped." Andy said with a smirk. He gave the same excuse when he killed the other lackey

"Nic I have got to get home, before he gets there. Can you handle this for me?" Antonio asked his brother.

"Go." Nic replied 

Antonio took off at a dead run, he hopped in his car and broke every speed limit.

******************************

Bianca heard the twisting of the door knob, and rushed out of the bedroom to meet Tony. Bianca snatched the door open, and her mouth dropped before her world went black.



Armored Love Ch. 10



~~~Here it is, the final chapter. Please excuse the errors:) I want to thank everyone for their support. It fast paced,and it clears up some things. I hope you enjoy it.~~~ Koco.

This was it. 

After this, he was done, this life had just brought him what he knew it would: devastation. 

These thoughts ran viciously through Antonio's mind as he continued to speed through the evening traffic towards the apartment. He had always known that this life was not for him, and now that the woman he loved was in danger, because of him, just proved what he already knew.

**************

This was it. Bianca had these same thoughts as the world slowly came into focus in front of her. She was tied to a chair in the middle of the living room. By the tightness in her face she could tell that she had been hit more than once. Bianca knew that this was the last straw. She would not, could not do this any longer. She thought that because she never asked any questions and stayed out of Tony's business, that it would some how not effect her. 

Bianca had obviously been wrong. Very wrong by the look on her captors face as he came to stand in front of her. The look on his face told her that she would die tonight. She hoped that she had things right with God, because if Tony didn't some how get here soon she was going to most surely die a horrible death. At that moment it was like Drago had read her mind; he gave her the most sinister smile. 

Drago looked at Bianca's face, compliments of his fists, and he got hard. He loved the feeling of making people suffer. He especially got great pleasure out of looking at Marcato's whore struggling to stay conscious. He knew that Marcato was stuck fighting his men and most likely wouldn't even be able to make it to her before he killed her. 

At first he had thought to kill Bianca in front of Tony instead of Fed x-ing her , but now chopping her up in little pieces for Marcato to find would be good enough. 

As Bianca started started slumping back into unconsciousness Drago back handed her. She let out painful grunt, and she tasted blood. 

"Wake up bitch, I need you awake." Drago hissed as he pulled a long knife the holster on his left hip.

Bianca didn't know if it was the slap or him calling her a bitch, but something inside her snapped. It seemed as if all those years of people taunting her, hating on her, the abuse of her mother, and self preservation just exploded and shit hit the fan. 

Bianca was tired. Tired of people treating her any kind of way, and it was time she did something about it. If Tony didn't get here soon she was going to die, so what did she have to lose.

"I'm the bitch?" Bianca asked in a low voice, and chuckled a little bit.

"I'm pretty sure you are the only bitch here. You can't even fight Tony man to man." Bianca stated as she spit blood at his feet. 

Drago stood stunned for a minute before he slapped her again.

"Don't you ever talk to me like that." Drago said close to her face.

Bianca let out some hysterical laughter. She'd been hit harder. He was weak. She knew that if she kept taunting him he would react therefore stalling until, hopefully, Tony got there.

"I can talk to you any fucking way I want to." Bianca yelled at him, not caring that he might hit her again.

"I should have taped your mouth shut." Drago said as he grabbed her by the hair.

"Maybe I should just cut off your tongue." he said as he raised his knife, and slid it down her face. The blade was so sharp that it left a thin cut on her cheek. Bianca could feel the blood slowly dripping down her face. The cut wouldn't leave a scar but it hurt like hell.

"You might just have to, it would be the only way to shut me up at the moment." Bianca said looking Drago straight in the eye. She was not going down without a fight. 

Bianca had always let people get away with things they should be punished for and this time it was not going to be the same. She might be tied to a chair but she would not let that stop her from getting under Drago's skin.

Drago was surprised by Bianca's candor. He had thought that she was meek and would beg him for mercy. But it seemed as if she was trying to give him a verbal smack down while he was giving her a physical one. Drago liked a challenge, and Bianca was giving him one.

Drago smiled a little as he licked the blood off his knife, and Bianca just shook her head at his attempt to unnerve her.

Bianca took a deep painful breath. She had to keep pushing him.

"Tell me honestly...whatever your name is... are you smarter than you look?" Bianca asked in a sweet voice.

Drago looked up at her from the blade of his knife. He wanted to hear what she had to say. She was interesting to him. He would enjoy killing her, but after their little game. 

"What ever do you mean?" Drago sarcastically asked.

"I mean how stupid can you be? You have to know that death is on your ass. I don't know much about the business, but I do know that Tony will kill you for this. So why would you stay here where he could find you?" Bianca questioned, then laughed at the unsure expression on Drago's face.

Drago took a deep breath. The bitch was trying to get to him; disconcert him. Tony was probably laying in his own blood by now. It had been twenty of his men against Marcato's seven. Drago stepped forward and kicked Bianca as hard as he could in the stomach. The crack of her ribs was loud to her ears. Bianca spit up blood. 

"Shut the fuck up you stupid bitch. I should have killed you by now." Drago screamed as he then wrapped his meaty hand around her throat. 

Bianca kicked her legs as she began choke on her own blood. It seemed as if hours had passed by when the door to the apartment was kicked to ground.

As the thunder of the door hitting the ground resounded, Antonio tackled Drago to the floor, taking Bianca with them. Bianca's thanked the heaven that Tony finally showed up before the darkness consumed her.

"You sonofabitch!" Antonio yelled as he punched Drago in rapid succession. 

Antonio couldn't believe he had let this happen. He was seeing red. Drago was choking the life out of Bianca when he finally busted in the door. Fear consumed him Bianca couldn't die not when he had finally found the woman for him. Death was on his mind as he attacked Drago.

Drago couldn't believe that Marcato had made it through alive. He had thought that even if he had that he would have been too late to get to get to his whore, but he guessed wrong. It was at that moment that he realized Bianca had been playing him the whole time. This angered Drago. The stupid bitch had got him hook, line and sinker. But he was not going to give up. With all his strength he pulled his legs up and kicked Marcato off of him.

Antonio landed on his back, and Drago took that moment pull his gun. Antonio jumped up quick, and pulled out two guns of his own. He spared a first glance at Bianca and noted that she was unconscious. Oh God I hope she is not dead , Tony thought as he focused back on Drago.

"So this is it Marcato, you and your bitch can go to hell together." Drago said, but Antonio noticed that his hand was shaking. 

Drago's amateur ways were no match for the assassin in Antonio's blood. 

"You know this is going to end with you meeting the fishes, please say a prayer before death becomes you." Antonio said as he steadily removed the safety from his guns.

"You think you come and make all my money disappear and get away with it?! Fuck you Marcato, Fuck you!" Drago said as he pulled the trigger. It was like time stopped.

The moment Drago's finger twitched Antonio released fire. 

Drago's bullet grazed Antonio's arm, right before Tony's trademark shots bodied Drago.

One to the head and one to the heart.

Antonio Marcato's last kill.

**********

Bianca woke up to rhythmic sound of the heart monitor in the hospital. As she woke up everything that happened came rushing back to her. For the life of her she couldn't believe that it had happened to her. Bianca knew that life was unpredictable, but damn when did her life turn into a B movie. 

Bianca opened her eyes and instantly knew that Tony was there. She knew that he saved her life, but enough was enough this was not the life for her. She let out a little grunt as she tried to move. She wondered how long she had been there. 

Tony looked up as Bianca gave a small grunt, and was surprised to see that she was awake. 

They had been at hospital for more than two days and she hadn't opened her eyes once. The doctors were still running tests on her to make sure that was physically okay. Tony thanked the stars that she was alive. If he had gotten there a moment later she would have died. Tony had rushed her to the hospital while Nic and the others disposed of the body and fixed things the way they should be.

His parents had rushed to hospital to see about Bianca. It had taken Bianca's parents hours to get there. When her father saw her he almost broke down in tears. Juanita on the other hand was a different story.

********* 

Elena had been holding Bianca's limp hand when Juanita walked in. Tony was sitting in the diagonal watching Bianca breath. All was calm, until Juanita opened her mouth.

"What did she do this time?" Juanita asked as if it was an everyday occurrence that Bianca lay comatose by being beaten nearly to death.

"Look, Juanita just go, Bianca almost died tonight I don't need your shit." Tony said in an exasperated voice.

Juanita looked as if he just slapped her face. No one talked back to her. Just as she took a step to get in Tony's face Elena cut her off.

"Look bitch, I know you think you're bad but I'm badder. Don't let my money fool you. I am from the streets, and I may have aged but I am pretty sure my pistol packs the same ass whippin' as it did 20 years ago." Elena whispered aggressively. Juanita backed off; quickly.

"You should be worried about you daughter and how she almost died tonight." Elena spoke again, and all Juanita did was walk out the door. Tony and Elena shook their heads.

**********

"Hey baby you're awake." Tony whispered as he leaned down to kiss Bianca's forehead.

"Are you okay?" Bianca croaked. Even though they wouldn't be together any longer didn't stop Bianca from caring about him.

"I am fine. I love you so much. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost you." Tony said as he held back tears. Bianca almost changed her mind as she watched his eyes water.

"So I'm okay then?" Bianca asked wanting to know that she was out of harms way.

"You have a few cracked ribs, bruised windpipe, and some cuts and scrapes. The doctors are still running tests because they want to be sure. But your gonna be okay." Tony said rubbing her wrist.

Just then his mother and father walked in. just as they were about to say their hellos the doctor walked in.

"Hello everyone, I was just stopping by to tell you that the test came back good and they both are okay."

Tony gave the doctor a confused look as did Bianca. 

"W.. What do mean both?" Bianca asked in a scratchy voice.

"You and the baby are just fine." The Doctor said smiling as he walked away. 

"Baby?" Tony and Bianca asked each other. The third voice was Juanita's. Everyone turned to looked at her. She looked like she had just seen as ghost. 

"Mom?" Bianca asked 

Juanita's eyes met hers and Bianca knew that she had been lied to. She shook her head. Bianca should have seen the cruelty in her mother's ways a long time ago. If she didn't have cracked ribs she would have cussed her mother out. But she didn't, she just grabbed Elena's hand. Elena looked down at Bianca, and smiled a motherly knowing smile. 

Bianca was the daughter she always wanted, and she would protect her at any cost. She knew something was wrong so she got straight to the point.

"What's going on?" Elena asked looking between Bianca and Juanita.

"O..Oh nothing." Juanita said nervously; slowly backing out the door. She bumped into Tony's father. Halting her getaway.

"Tell me Juanita," Bianca said in her husky voice giving her new attitude a workout, "Why did you tell me all those years ago that I couldn't have children?"

Juanita looked at Bianca holding Elena's hand and she cracked. 

"You stole my life from me!" Juanita yelled. She dropped her purse, put her hands on her hips and let out more than two decades of pent up anger.

"From the moment you were born all the attention was on you. It wasn't about me any more. I had to feed you, cloth you, listen to people tell me how cute and pretty you were. I got sick of it. As you got older I made sure I tore you down every chance I got. To everybody you were this beautiful girl. You father wouldn't even pay me any attention. He was all Bianca this Bianca that. You were nothing but a burden to me I would have aborted you, but your father found the pregnancy test the day of appointment."

Juanita finished with a huff.

"I took life from you like you did to me. Payback is a bitch." Juanita added. 

Bianca absorbed everything that Juanita said. The person she was two days ago would have cried and been sad for herself. But that was two days ago. The more shit stays the same the more shit motherfuckin' changes.

"You, Juanita, are a selfish, self centered bitch. You fucking disgust me." Bianca said calmly; slowly. 

When Juanita was about to reply when Richard surprisingly pulled her by the arm.

"Get your shit and lets go Juanita." Richard said.

Bianca felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, if she could only find the strength the let Antonio Marcato go. She was having a baby. A baby she thought she'd never be able to have. So mob life was not for her or her child. 

Tony walked over to Bianca and gently kissed her lips. She had finally stood up to her mother. She was beginning to take control of her life, and he wanted to be apart of it. He looked up at his father it was time to make sure he could be. He knew she was going to try and give him he boot because of the incident and the life he lead.

But she was carrying his child, and he wanted to be in his child's life. Tony wanted to be the man Bianca deserved. After he talked to his father and made plans for the business he was out. 

*************

It had been weeks since Bianca had been released from the hospital. She getting stronger everyday, and the baby was still doing well. Bianca still couldn't believe all the drama that had been her life those few short weeks ago. She still hadn't gotten up the courage to break up with Tony. It seemed like every time she would try and sit him down, while he had been caring for her, he avoided her.

It was like he knew what she was going to say. Bianca was glad that her life had been moving forwards and not backwards. She was loving her new outlook on life, and she wished that she'd had the same outlook her whole life.

Breaking up with Tony would be one of the hardest things Bianca would ever have to do. It wasn't that she did not love Tony, or that he hadn't apologized for what had happened.

It was the fact that Bianca couldn't be wrapped up in this. She didn't want to have to look over her shoulder when she went out. Bianca wanted to be able to enjoy her life. She had lived so long with people treating her badly, and she had been too weak willed to say anything. But now that she had a little miracle on the way, and her new attitude was in overdrive, she wanted to live life to the fullest not being paranoid.

Bianca had to move on.

************* 

Tony knew that she had the mind to break up with him, but he wouldn't let her. He had been taking care of her, and now that she was better he could have the long talk with his father. Antonio knew that to stay with Bianca, and have a piece of mind he was going to have to give up the life. Tony wished he had never given into his fathers' wishes in the first place. He should have followed his first mind, and persuaded his father to let Nic take over. This life had almost gotten Bianca and his unborn child killed and he would never forgive himself for what had happened to them. He had a child on the way and he planned to be there. He wanted a family of his own, and if he shut this door he could open another.

***********

Antonio Marcato Sr. knew what his don was going to say before he even walked in the door, and the words fell from his lips. He knew that this was for the best. The life wasn't what it used to be. He also knew that his son had to lead his own life; it was time for him to let Tony do what he wanted to do. 

"So Dad, do you understand were I am coming from. This isn't for me anymore. I make good money being a photographer, and not to mention my trust. I know you feel that Nic can't run the business, but I do. Give him a chance. I know that he is somewhat of a loose cannon, but he knows the business just like I do." Tony said wanting his father to approve. 

Marcato Sr. looked at Tony, Tony looked back. Tense minutes went by before Marcato Sr. spoke.

"Okay, but if you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask. I am proud of you son." He rose from his chair to give Tony a fatherly hug.

Tony let out a relieved breath. He had thought his father would object, and he was more than glad he didn't.

"Thanks Dad. I love you." Tony said.

"I love you too, and you had better be right that Nic can handle this." Marcato said with an edge of seriousness.

"He can handle it. Well let me get back to Bianca, so she can break up with me before I tell her the news." Tony sad jokingly before heading out the door to a new life.

******************

Bianca slowly paced her apartment floor waiting for Tony to get back. She was wondering how she was going to form the words to break up with him. Bianca was a nervous wreck. She knew he would argue with her if nothing more than the sake of the baby.

She was still raking her mind when Tony walked in looking fine and more than happy.

"Hey baby." Tony said as he walked over a placed a quick kiss on her lips. He was waiting for her to pull him aside so they could 'talk'.

"Hey Tony, do you have a minute?" Bianca said softly.

"Sure, bella, lets go sit." Tony walked then over to the sofa.

"What is it you want to talk about?" He asked as he sat next to her.

Bianca looked away for a moment to collect her thoughts. She took a deep breath. I can do this she chanted to herself.

"Well, um, well I don't think I can do this anymore. I love you but I hate your life. I want our baby to be safe. I am sorry Antonio, but this life is not for me." Bianca said quickly. She looked down for a second before looking back up to meet Tony's eyes.

Her eyes met a big smile. It even looked like he was holding in his life laughter.

When he chuckled a little Bianca guessed she had been right.

"What is so funny Tony?" Bianca asked.

"You. I knew you were going to break up with me. I just told my father that you were after I asked him to give me his blessing on leaving the business." Tony stated with a wicked a smile waiting for her to digest what he had just said.

Bianca let out a surprised gasp. She was elated; she wouldn't even pretend that wasn't. Her life was taking one turn after another. 

"So Bianca I was wondering had you thought about a date yet." Antonio said.

"A date? A date for what?" Bianca said obliviously.

"For the wedding." 

Bianca sat back for a minute taking in every hing he had just said.

If she wasn't mistaken Antonio Marcato had just asked her to marry him. She would have never thought in a million years that someone would ask her to be their wife. Life was just getting crazier by the moment.

Tony watched as a myriad of emotions passed over Bianca's face. Tony wondered what was going threw her mind as she thought about his unconventional proposal. Tony hoped she said yes he wanted to be her for the rest of his life. Tony wanted to have a family with her. He loved her.




Armored Love Ch. 10



"So, Bianca will you marry me?" Tony asked out right. Hoping to bring her back to the present. 

Bianca looked at tony for the longest time and she knew that she couldn't give him up. Not now not ever.

"Yes. Yes I will marry you?" Bianca said excitedly as she hugged him.

Antonio Marcato Jr. was a happy man.

**************

"Does it feel good baby?" Tony asked a while later as he licked her pussy.

Bianca's answer was the arch of her body into his. Tony continued to lick her pussy in quick then slow strokes. Tony loved the taste of Bianca in his mouth. He tweaked her sensitive nipples with one hand, and held her writhing body down with the other.

"MMMM baby it is so good." Bianca sighed.

Tony just kept licking, she was about to cum. A second later she exploded in his mouth her sweet juices dripping down his chin. 

He kissed his way up her quivering body and kissed her. Bianca could taste herself on his tongue. 

Antonio slid inside her body while he was kissing her. She was still tight. He groaned as her body snatched him inside. Bianca wrapped her legs around Tony's waist and returned every thrust he gave her. 

Their love making was heated and intense. 

"Tony, I'm gonna cum again." Bianca said in a gasp, as she tightened her pussy and legs around Tony. 

"Shit, baby not yet, I'm almost there." Tony said as he thrust a little faster; harder.

Bianca let out a scream as she felt Tony cum inside her minutes later. She came too.

***************ONE YEAR LATER**************

It seemed as if life had come full circle. Bianca and Antonio had gotten married two weeks after he proposed. They had had a small ceremony with only family and close friends. At the wedding Bianca had finally met Nic, and she had to say the Marcato brothers were damn fine. 

A while after that the baby was born. It was a girl. They named her Miracle Ann Marcato, because she was their miracle. Juanita has since then apologized, and Bianca forgave her, but she by no means forgot. Richard became the loving father that he used to be.

Nic had also taken over the business and to Marcato's Sr. surprise, he was doing well.

Bianca had finished writing her book and Tony had went back to his passion which was photography.

"How are you doing today Mrs. Marcato?" Tony asked kissing Bianca on the neck as walked up behind her in the kitchen.

"Very well, Mr. Marcato. How was your day. Did the models give you trouble?" Bianca joked.

"Nope, my day was good." Tony replied.

Bianca looked over her shoulder and caught Tony's eye.

"Life is good huh?" Bianca said wistfully remembering a time when it wasn't.

"Yea, babe life is great, and where's my other baby?." Tony kissed her lips.

"She is with your mother. She came and got her earlier." Bianca said.

"Why don't we take advantage of this free time." Tony said as he wiggled his eyebrows.

Bianca laughed.

Yes, life was good.
