Olivia has come home with Elizabeth for the holidays. Her family has gone overseas for the holidays and left her behind. She is happy to spend the holidays with the Thomas's, they have been more of a family to her than her own. She can't wait for the annual Christmas gala that the Derusso’s host and this will be the first year that Mariano will be hosting since he took over for his grandfather. She knew that the guys were a part of the Mafia since Lizzy had told her everything after she kept asking where Mariano was. She couldn't tell her that she was secretly in love with him. 

Olivia's POV

I had just finished with my make up when I heard the door to my bedroom whip open and Elizabeth's voice as she came into my room.

“Girl are you ready yet? It's time for us to make an appearance.”

I take one last look in the mirror and walk out of the bathroom. Her eyes go wide and a smile crosses her lips.

“Damn girl, if I played on the same team, you look hot. I knew that dress would look good on you. I'm so glad I picked that one for you. Everyone will notice you.”

She had picked a deep red strapless dress with a slit up the thigh and a small train. The silk material felt soft against my skin and I felt amazing in it. My hair was pulled back in an updo and soft curls framed my face. My makeup was done in natural tones. I wasn't big on a lot of makeup, I felt fake when I had a lot on. I walked over to the bed and slipped my heels on and walked for the door.

I'm ready so let's do this.” 

We head downstairs to the ballroom and walk inside. The room has been turned into a winter wonderland. It was absolutely magical. Elizabeth grabs my hand and drags me over to her family. We greet everyone but all I can see is Mariano. Is it me or has he gotten more handsome since he took over for his grandfather. He has let his hair grow since The last time I saw him and his beard makes him look more rugged. It looks good on him and how I would love to run my fingers through his hair and feel that beard scraping against my inner thighs. Get it together girl, that is your best friend's brother, a line you shouldn't cross. 

“So glad you could make it this year Liv, we have missed you around here.” Mariano says as he gives me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

“Wow, you clean up good, girl. I didn't know you were hiding that hot bod under all those baggy clothes.” Jacob adds.

I roll my eyes and wrap my arms around myself. I always felt soft conscious around him. He's always made snide comments around me, and Marian always took up for me. 

“Jacob, watch your mouth. Liv you look stunning tonight.”

Thank you, Mariano.”

“Your welcome, I've got to make my rounds. Save me a dance later?”

“If my dance card isn't full.”

I see a flash of something in his eyes before he and Jacob walk off to find his grandfather. I'm not sure if it was jealousy or not. It couldn't be, he doesn't like me like that. 

“Come on, let's go get some food. I'm starving.” Elizabeth says as she drags me off to get some food. After we had grabbed some more food we headed back to the table to eat. We talk and eat as we watch everyone mill around and some are dancing. I can feel eyes on me every so often and I look around to see Mariano watching me now and then. The butterflies begin to fly and I can feel the heat in my cheeks when I see how he looks at me. 

“My brother looks like he wants to have you for lunch.” Elizabeth states as she stuffs a strawberry in her mouth.

“No, he doesn't.” I stutter out. I look around and see him looking at me again. He smiles and waves from the corner he is standing in talking with some older gentleman.

“Girl, you are so blind. I have seen him look at you like that for years.”

“He's your brother!” I whisper shout.

“Liv, I don't care about that. If you two make each other happy then I'm happy.”

“I still think you are reading it wrong. He wouldn't like a girl like me.”

“Why wouldn't he? You are a total baby!”

“I'm not like the other women here. They are gorgeous.”

“And absolutely fake. Pretty much everyone here has had some sort of plastic surgery. He doesn't do fake. Every girl has tried to sink their claws into him, even more now that he is the boss. He has turned everyone down.”

I looked over to where he was and he was gone. I scan the room looking for him but don't find him. I feel a warm hand on my shoulder and a deep voice in my ear.

“May I have this dance, Liv?” His hot breath tickles my ear and his voice sends a delicious shiver down my spine.

“Yes” I squeak. I don't know where my voice went, and I mentally groan and my awkwardness. He takes my hand and leads me to the dance floor. One hand wraps around my waist as the other takes my hand as the music starts. We glide around the floor and I smile as he leads me in a waltz.

“I didn't know you could dance this well.”

“It's one of many things my grandmother taught me. She said a true gentleman should know how to dance with his lady.”

“She is a wonderful lady. I always loved coming here as a kid.”

“I always wished I could have spent more time with you. I was always jealous that my brother had more time than I did.”

“You had more important things to do. He didn't spend as much time as you think Mariano. He was kind of a jerk.”

“I'm sorry for that.”

“Don't be, he showed his true colors early. I always knew what he was.”

We danced and being in his arms felt like home. A slower song began to play and he pulled me in closer. His cologne filled my senses again and I played my head against his chest. We swayed together in our own little bubble and I felt his kiss the top of my head. His hands rub up and down my back and I wished this would never end. He eventually pulls back a bit and lifts his hand under my chin lifting it up for eyes to meet.

“Liv, there is something I have wanted to do for a long time and I hope You don't hate me for it.”

My heart fell and I knew he wouldn't really want me. He leans down and our lips connect. My heart leaps back into my chest and butterflies fly around my belly. I can't believe it. He is actually kissing me. He nibbles my bottom lip and I open my mouth for his tongue to slide inside. He tastes every bit of my mouth and our tongues begin a dance of their own. He pulls me tighter against him, tangling his fingers in my hair, pulling slightly at the base of my neck. The tingles slide straight to my clit. I moan into his mouth and he swallows it up. My heart beats louder and louder in my ears. Why is it getting louder and now I hear Elizabeth. I squeeze my eyes tighter and then he is gone. I open them again and I am in my bed hugging my pillow tangled in the sheets. I hear her outside the door.

“I'm coming in bestie, you better be up. We have so much to do.”

She throws open the door and runs jumping on the bed.

“Why are you so chipper this morning?”

“Because it's Christmas, tonight is the annual Christmas gala, and there will be so many hot guys there.”

The only hot guy I want to see is her brother. I wish that dream was reality. I know it will never be. He doesn't see me as anything but his little sister's best friend. I have had a crush on him since I first met him after I moved here with my family. He has always treated me like another little sister and my self proclaimed Protector. 

“Get up! Get up! We've got so much to do.”

“Okay, okay, I'm getting up. What is so important today?”

“We've got to get a dress, and get our hair, nails and make up done.”

"Do we really have to do all that?”

“Yes, it's only one day. You need to dress up once and a while.”

“Uggh, okay, fine”

I roll my eyes as I throw the covers back and get out of bed. I really hate getting all dressed up. I just feel fake and not myself but I guess it's only one night and if it makes my bestie happy so be it. 

“I'll meet you downstairs, hurry up.”

“Alright, alright, I'm going.”

She runs out of the room and I head into the bathroom to get ready. After I am finished. I head downstairs. As I step into the kitchen Elizabeth sits at the table with Mariano and Jacob. He turns to look at me and a smile crosses his face as he jumps up to throw his arms around me. 

“I didn't know you were here. When did you get in?” Mariano asks.

“We got in yesterday around lunch. You weren't here, and besides this place is huge and I could be here for days and you wouldn't know I was here.”

“True, I am so glad you are here.”

“Yeah, good to see you, brat.” Jacob chides, as he gets up and hugs me too.

“Can't say the same, jerk.” I hug him quickly, pushing him away. Jacob and I were never close like I was with Mariano. He always picked at me. We were always fighting and never could see eye to eye. Maybe it was the manwhore ways. As long as I have known him he was always with a different woman. 

“Jacob, leave my bestie alone. We are heading out. We'll see you two tonight at the gala.”

“I haven't done anything.”

“Don't even think about it.”

“Wouldn't dream of it.”

She glares at him as she takes my hand and drags me out to the car. We both jump in and head to the store. We walk in and the sales person meets us at the door and escorts us to the viewing area. Apparently Liz had already picked out some gowns for us and we were taken to our dressing rooms. Hanging before me were several beautiful gowns. Several of them looked like they would swallow me whole. I run my fingers along the fabric and the silk feels wonderful against my fingertips. I undress and slip the first dress over my head. I am already uncomfortable with this one. Its skirt is huge and filled with so much crinoline, I don't think I could move anywhere. She calls to me and I walk out and struggle to get through the door.

“No, that looks awful. You look uncomfortable in it too.”

“I feel the doll in a cake. I don't like this one.”

“Yeah, these aren't going to work. Next”

I head back in and we try on several dresses and none of them work. I walk back in to change out and there is a dress hanging that I had not seen before. It is a red strapless gown with a slit up to the hip. A small train hangs behind it. It is absolutely beautiful and I quickly strip out of the last awful dress and quickly put on the new one. It fits like a glove and feels so soft against my skin. I walk out and Liz stands there in a fun little dress. It is also strapless and is about mid thigh. It is covered in different color sequins and sparkles under the light. It is so her and her eyes light up.

“This dress is perfect. When did you find it.” I ask.

“I didn't pick that one. I have never seen it. You look amazing in it though.” 

“I wonder who picked it. I am gonna get this one. You look good too. That dress is so you.” 

“I know, this is the one.”

We go back and change into our clothes and bring the dress to the register. The sales person tells us that the dresses are already paid for and she puts them in dress bags for us. We take them and head to the salon where we are whisked off to a full day. We have massages, facials, our nails done then our hairstyles and make up. When we are finished, we go back to the house. We pull up and the front of the mansion is alight with Christmas lights and several Christmas trees line the driveway. It is magical. As we walk in the place is abuzz with everyone running around cleaning and decorating and we quickly go upstairs to rest for a few hours before we get dressed for the gala. Elizabeth spends the time with me as we wait to get ready. 

“Are you excited for this evening?” she asked me.

“I am, I can't believe I am actually going to a gala.”

“It will be fun, but there alot of creepy old men too. They are easy to avoid though.”

“Ewww, please I have had enough of creepy old men.”

We both laugh, and talk until it is time to get ready. She walks back to her room and I pull my dress out of the bag to put it on. I can't believe how beautiful this dress is and how it fits me so well. We both walk out of our rooms together and walk down to the ballroom. As we walk in, my eyes go wide. The room is turned into a winter wonderland and the ceiling glitters with lights and snowflakes that fall down. The tables are covered in white tablecloths and decorated with white centerpieces. There are birch trees lining the dance floor. It's all so amazing and so much to take in. We walk in and  take a seat at the head table. His mother and father both sit watching everything. 

“Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas. Thank you for inviting mer.”

“You are family, and both of you are of age to attend now. We couldn't leave you out.” Mrs. Thomas greets me. They both stand up and hug me.

“I have told you before. Call us mom and dad.”Mrs. Thomas adds

“I forgot mom and dad.” They both smile and sit back. 

“When did you both get here?” Liz asks

“A couple hours ago. We have been spending time with your grandmother.” Mrs. Thomas says and I can see a tear in her eye.

“Where is my borother's?” she asks as I see them both walk over. My breath catches as Marirano walks over dressed in a tailored tux and looks good enough to eat. His eyes catch mine and they darken, and a smirk crosses his lips. He walks up and kisses my cheek as he leans into a whisper in my ear. 

“I knew that dress would look amazing on you. You are stunning.”

Goosebumps spread across my skin as his breath tickles my ear. 

“You bought the dress?”

“I did. I saw it and knew you would look amazing. Red is your color.”

“Thank you, but you didn't have to.”

“I know, but I wanted to. I have got to run, but will you save a dance for me later?”

“Yes” I whisper at the familiar words spoken. I watch as he  away. I can't believe he bought this for me. I knew he didn't have to. Is there something more to it or is he just being nice. I am so confused. I wish he could be mine but that is a line that shouldn't be crossed. What if something happens and we break up? What would happen between Liz and i. I don't know if I want to risk  him walking over to his grandfather and turning to look back at me with a smile. I can't help but blush and turn away. I can feel the heat from his gaze throughout the night. No matter where I was, he was watching.Even when another man started talking to me I could see the jealousy burning in his eyes. I'm not sure if I liked it or not, but it did make me feel wanted. I never felt that with anyone else. We had gotten through all the speeches and finally dinner. It was amazing and I knew that Mariano's grandfather had the best chef around. Mariano sat next to me while Liz sat on the other side. He sits so close to me I can feel the heat radiate off him. Liz had whispered something to me and I felt a hand slide up my exposed thigh, goosebumps again formed along my skin. It slowly slides up and to my inner thigh as it makes its way towards my covered pussy. I hum quietly as his fingers brush against my thing and he leans into my ear.

“I am so glad you wore this dress. I have been dying to touch your silky skin since I first met you.”

“Your touch feels amazing but we need to stop. I can't break your sister's trust.”

“What does she have to do with us?”

“She's my best friend and your sister.”

“She doesn't have any say in who I see.”

I feel her lean into my other ear.

“He's right, you know. He has been in love with you since forever. If it makes you happy, then who am I to judge? 

I am at war with my feelings. I just pick at my food. His hand never leaves my thigh as we eat. When we finally finished, he stood up and put out his hand.

“Dance with me?”

I hesitate for a moment and take his outstretched hand as he pulls me  to the dance floor. He pulls me against him and wraps a hand around my waist and takes my hand in his free one. He starts to move me across the dance floor in a dance that I have done before. This feels just like my dream and I hope that it goes the same way.

“I didn't know you could waltz.”

“My grandmother taught me. She said that every gentleman should know how to dance with his girl. Everything I know I learned from her or my mother.”

“They are smart women.”

He leads me around and I can't help but smile at him. It feels like home to be in his arms and I never want to leave. When the waltz is finished they start to play a slower song and both of his hands wrap around my waist and pull me tight against him. My hands wrap around the back of his neck and thread through the back of his hair. I barely hear the growl that comes from his chest. I lean my head against his chest and his heart thunders in my ear. It matches mine. 

“Liv, I need to tell you something.”

I pull back and look up at him. I feel like he is laying his soul bare for me at this moment.

“What is it? You know you can tell me anything.”

“I have loved you from the first time I saw you. I never told you because you were my sister's friend and I didnt want to destroy that. I can't fight it any more. Liv, I want you to be mine.”

I don't know what to say. It's a dream come true. He is laying it all out for me.

“I have loved you too.”

That was all he needed to hear as he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine. It was sweet for a moment as he began to nibble at my bottom lip and they parted as his tongue slid in against mine, tasting the whiskey that he had been drinking. Our tongues dance and he pulls me tighter against him and I can feel his hardened length against my lower belly and a moan escapes my lips. He slides a hand up my back and twists it in my hair and pulls slightly. It's a mix of pleasure and pain. I moan into his mouth and the kiss becomes needy. My thong becomes wet with need and I have never wanted anyone so much. He pulls back before I am ready and his eyes have become dark. 

“Shall we get out of here?”

“Don't you need to stay till the end.”

“My grandfather usually tends to that. I have more important things to do.”

I nod my head yes and he takes my hand and quickly adjusts himself with the other as he quickly pulls me behind him.

“He bro, where are you going?” I hear Jacob taunt. Mariano throws back a bird and doesn't answer. 

Liz is standing near the door talking with a young man and she sees us coming. She turns with her arms crossed.

“Where are you going with my friend?”

“None of your business, but we are going to talk.”

“MMhmmm, you know if you ever hurt her, I will have your balls!”

“There is no need for that. I will never do that.”

“Good and it's about time you got together.”

She hugs me tight and he quickly pulls me away and up to his room. Once we are both inside he shuts the door and locks it behind him. He steps up to me and crashes his lips against mine. It is full of passion and desire and he slowly pushes me back towards his bed. He stops in front and pulls back, turning me around he pushes my hair over my shoulder and slowly unzips my dress letting it fall to the floor. I am left in my red lace thong and my heels. He turns me back around and I wrap my arms around my chest. I have never liked my body and am always self conscious about my small breasts. He steps up to me again and pulls my arms away. humming in content.

“Don't ever cover up in front of me.Your body is beautiful and everything I ever dreamed it would be.”

He reaches up and palms my breast pinching the nipples. My head falls back and a moan escapes my lips as he leans down and takes one in his mouth. His tongue flicks at the hardened peak and it sends a shock straight to my clit. He pushes me down and I land on the bed laid out before him. and he growls again in approval. I pull up on my elbows as I watch him undress and place his clothes neatly on the chair. As he takes his briefs off his cock stands up at attention and eyes go wide seeing its size for the first time. He smirks as he begins to crawl over me and I begin to move back up the bed. He kisses down my neck stopping for a moment to suck and lick on the spot behind my ear. I suck in a breath and he moves down my chest licking and sucking as he leaves his mark moving down to my wanting center. He settles down between my legs and inhales deeply, his nose rubbing against my sensitive nub. He moves my thong to the side and takes one long lick of my slit and I arch off the bed as his tongue flicks at my nub. His fingers toy at my entrance before he slides two into my center and slowly thrusts in and out.

“Oh god, Mariano.”

He alternates between licking and cucking at my clit while his fingers movie inside me. I can feel my body begin to tighten and he curls his fingers to brush against my sweet spot. 

MMm, yes Leeeoo. Right there don't stop.”

“I like hearing my name coming from your lips like that. Say it again.”

“OOO, Marianooo!”

“I can feel you close. Cum for me baby.”

He latches onto my nub sucking and licking. My orgasm barrels down my spine and I can't stop it. I cum hard and squeeze his fingers. He slowly thrusts into me as I come down from my high. He sits up and licks his fingers.

“"Mmmm, my favorite flavor. You taste so sweet.”

He slowly kisses his way up my body, and I can feel the tip of his cock nudging at my entrance. He kisses me and I can taste myself on his lips. 

“Do I need to get a condom?”

“No, I am clean. I haven't been with anyone in a few years.”

“I am too. I want to feel you raw. I want nothing between us.”

“Yes”

“When I have you , that means you are mine.”

“That is all I ever wanted.”

He slowly pushes in and stretches me deliciously. Slowly he pushes in and pulls out slightly pushing deeper each time. When he is finally seated deep within me he stops for a moment letting me adjust to his size. I nod my head and he begins to move again. He slides in and out brushing my sweet spot.

“You're so big!”

Am I hurting you?”

“No, you feel so good.”

“God, you're so tight. I don't know how long I'm going to last.”

He sits up and puts my legs over his arms to get deeper. He starts to thrust fast and my nails dig into his arms.  After a few thrusts he leans back over me and begins to pound into me. That amazing feeling begins to move up my spine and I can feel myself begin to twitch and tighten around him.

“I can feel you are almost there. I am almost there too. Cum with me, Liv. I need you to cum.”

He reaches between us and thrums  my clit. I exploded around him and light burst behind my eyes. His thrusts become eradice and on final time he pushes into me and stills as a guttural growl comes from deep in his chest and he collapses on his elbows above me. He kisses the tip of my nose before he roles off of me and pulls me on his chest. 

“Livvy, you are mine now.’

“And you are mine.”

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

I fall asleep listening to the beat of his heart.  Christmas dreams do come true.
