I pulled her carefully with me into the shower cubicle, turned on the warm water and looked into her smiling beautiful blue eyes, from which she blushed slightly again.

"Seriously?" I asked, amused at her shyness, and she slapped my arm lightly, eyeing me with a smirk.

"Not everyone can burst with self-confidence," she replied and I shook my head and then got into the shower before I pulled her into the cabin with me and closed it.

"There's no reason why you have to be shy in front of me," I whispered to her, standing close to her while the warm water ran comfortably over our slightly sweaty bodies.

She looked at me in embarrassment and just wanted to avoid my gaze again, but I took her chin and looked her in the eyes briefly before I pressed my lips to hers and pulled her close to me.

"You're perfect," I breathed between kisses and she snuggled even closer to wrap her arms tightly around my body.

"We're perfect," I heard her softly, breaking away from her lips briefly to gently stroke her soft cheek with my thumb.

"And that's all that matters."

We lost each other in our gazes as I watched the water soak her hair and make her look even cuter than she always did.

And then I felt my excitement again, just from her intense looks...

"Turn around," I begged, and after giving me a small smile, she turned her back to me and put her hands on the tiles in front of her, allowing me to let my eyes wander down her beautiful back , on which I then distributed several soft kisses.

I pressed my hips even tighter against hers, immediately noticed how she stretched her butt towards me and was about to take my cock in my hand when there was a loud knock on the door and I stopped my movement.

"Can you hurry up?!", Padraig called and after I turned Mandy on her hip back to me, she got a red face and I had to suppress a stupid smile.

"Maybe it would be better if you came to my place for a few days. I mean, for your safety," I whispered to her and took the pink shower gel from Tina to look at with irritation.

"For my safety?" Mandy repeated with an amused smile and I immediately gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead and then poured some of the shower gel onto my hand.

"Yes, for your safety."

I spread the shower gel on my hands and then gently began to massage her shoulders and gently stroked her soft skin down to her breasts. Taken by my touch, she held onto my shoulder and closed her eyes to enjoy my caresses, moaning in pleasure, until it knocked again and I tore open the shower stall in frustration.

"What's your fucking problem?!" I yelled and immediately heard Tina's voice.

"I just wanted to ask if everything is okay!"

I shook my head and got out of the shower to tie a towel around my waist and turn back to Mandy.

"Come here," I spoke softly and after she turned off the water, she took my hand and got out of the shower stall as well, where I immediately wrapped one of the other towels around her body while she looked up at me gratefully.

"I'd like to go to your place," she smiled embarrassed and brushed some of her wet strands away from her face before bending down for her clothes, which I did the same.

We dried off, got dressed again and then left the bathroom holding hands, where we arrived in the living room and just stared at the stupidly grinning faces of Tina and Padraig.

"Mandy is coming with me," I let her know and Padraig's grin grew even wider as he looked at Tina and wiggled his eyebrows seductively.

"It's about time. I don't feel like having to keep my little ones pressed over their mouths anymore, just so they-"

"Padraig!" Tina admonished immediately and shook her head, which made even Mandy giggle next to me.

"I'll get my things quickly," she said amused and disappeared into the bedroom at the back, so that I took my sights on the gypsy again.

"You're okay here?" I asked, thinking about Fiore, who was still out there somewhere, surely longing for revenge.

"Is that a fucking joke?" said Padraig cockily and stood up. "Do you actually know who you're talking to here?" he added, pointing to the table, where I saw more knives than a butcher owned.

"Yes, I know," I replied and he immediately slapped me on the shoulder with a grin.

"That bastard is the one who won't be able to handle it once I cut off his fucking balls!"

Padraig seemed caught up in his imagination for a moment and grinned dirty, which immediately made me think that I was really glad I didn't have him as an enemy.

"We can," Mandy interrupted my thoughts and walked past me to Tina to shoot her warmly in her arms.

"If anything is, you call immediately," she said sternly and then looked at me. "Take care of her."

"Of course," I reassured her and then gave Padraig a handshake to leave the little house ahead of Mandy.

We strolled silently to Rian's BMW and I kept glancing around the area, really wanting to be sure this bastard wouldn't manage to surprise us.

It was only when we got into the BMW together and I locked the doors from the inside that some of the tension left me and I immediately started the engine, whereupon Mandy took a deep breath and also seemed to be full of concern.

I put my hand on hers, stroked the back of her hand soothingly and took in her mild smile before driving off, hoping that Rian or Odran might have made short work of Fiore so we could just get to know each other. .
