Sandro Medici

Dominant. Banker. 29. Brother to Cosimo Medici. Son to Giovanni Medici, owner of the Bank of Verona.

Ludo hummed in response, pleased that he at least knew his boundaries. But then his smile faded and she shook her head gently. “First of all, there is nothing wrong with a Dominant showing weakness and a Submissive showing strength. Remember that.” The blonde started with a soft, yet stern voice. “Besides that, you had your hands full with me. You’re strong and you’re brave, Sandro, but you’re not Superman. You did what you could, and so did she. Try not to read into it so much.” She paused, making sure she had his gaze before saying, “She’s lucky she has a Dominant like you.”

Sandro nodded and sighed, “I’ll keep that in mind. I just ... Montagues have a reputation and I don’t want to disappoint her, you know? Of course their head of family turned out to be a murderer so ... that’s that I suppose.” He flashed a grin at the reporter, “I am very glad you are okay. I was very worried about you. I’m not sure how you manage to make a cast look sexy.” 

[sandroxmedici]

Arden nodded, taking Sandro’s word. He, personally, didn’t have a desire to meet many Montagues, but he supposed their submissives were harmless enough. “Well, here’s to hope then,” he toasted, raising his glass. “I think we could all use a bit of hope after the last few weeks.”

He mirrored Arden’s gesture. Sandro nodded, “Terrible experience. Those Riots.” He gave a light shudder and took a sip of his drink. “Yes though. Hope is a very promising thing. How is your work? Still feeling settled in Verona?”

“Good coz have no intention of being a functional human being tomorrow,” Rosaline replied with a laugh and a mischievous smirk.  She leaned into the kiss smiling brightly and then made quick work of the wrapped.  “Ooo these are awesome, thank you!  You combined two of my favourite things, coffee and Star Wars.”  She giggled cutely.  “I think Miss Tru will appreciate these too… she says our current Porg ones keep looking at her funny and she doesn’t like it.”

“A solid plan. So long as you have a safe way home.” He grinned at her happiness. It was just something small but he liked to see that grin on her face. “Well I hope you like them. Or you can at least add them to your personal museum. That reminds me, did you see that baby yoda in the new show?”

Cosimo: Now you just sound like dad. ;)

Sandro: Ooh is that an insult or a compliment?

“Will this ‘Hobbles’ nonsense stick?” Ludo asked exasperatedly, though in fairness, she did find it rather endearing. The only nickname she’d ever allowed was, well, Ludo. “I do too. I dream about what would have happened if you hadn’t been there. Or if Ariella hadn’t come to help us.” She shook her head carefully, moving to take a seat on her couch; ankle aching from standing so long. “I’m alright, thank you. It could have been much worse, but it wasn’t.”

“Only until you can kick me again.” Sandro replied, laughing as he did so. “I promise only when we are alone though. Otherwise it is rude.” He agreed with a nod. Then his smile faded and he nodded, “I worry a bit that she thinks me a bit weak given she had to save me ... not much of a Dominant really.” He replied softly as he took a seat opposite his friend. “I am glad you are going to be fully recovered in no time.”

[sandroxmedici]

Daria smiled politely at his joke, the conversation making her wonder if it would be considered totally appropriate.  “My Dominant was transferred back at quite short notice so he has had to go straight into work more or less and now I am reacquainting myself with the city.  Have you always lived in Verona?”

“Ohh ... well that’s exciting. May I ask what field he works in?” Sandro asked curiously as he continued to consume his lunch between conversational gambits. “Actually yes. I am Sandro Medici of the Bank of Verona. So ... bit of a legacy situation. We consider ourselves a very important part of our fair city. But I still do enjoy travelling.”

Surprise || Ariella & Sandro

[sandroxmedici]

Sandro’s praise sent a small shiver through Ari as she laid on his bed and looked up at him. In that moment she felt like every part of her was his and it was a heady feeling. She reveled in it, doing her best not to squirm in anticipation as he pulled out the cuffs. “Yes Sir. Very ready. I just want to make you feel good.” Grinning, Ari raked her eyes down Sandro’s body and this time failed to hold back her small squirm.

“You do that just by being in my life.” Sandro replied sincerely. “But tonight is not about sweet things ... it is about naughty ones, my beautiful bad girl.” He teased as he wrapped one fur lined cuff around her narrow wrist and tightened it before clasping it to the bed. The other wrist followed such that both hands were bound to the bed. He then straddled the blonde, bending forward to capture her mouth in a heated kiss. “Now you are at my mercy.”

[sandroxmedici]

“She is, sir. Elle’s just over there, talking to someone I don’t recognize with the mask on.” Mateo pointed toward his domme, unable to help but smile as her dress glinted under the lights of the party. She was dressed to make heads turn and he’d certainly been distracted by her all night. 

“I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself. Lord Romano wanted to make sure everyone under his roof was safe and having a good time. Please let me know if you do need anything - I’m on the clock until everyone is safe in a cab home,” Mateo explained, turning back toward the dominant. 

Sandro followed Mateo’s gesture and then had to admit he was taken aback. The Domme was absolutely stunning. “Wow. She is beautiful. Ah and there is my date.” He gestured to Ariella. 

“Absolutely. Makes good sense under current circumstances, although I am sorry you won’t get to relax and enjoy some time with your Domme.”

[sandroxmedici]

“Ariella - hmm, I’ll admit, I don’t know an Ariella Montague. Then again, I don’t know too many members of the family as whole. Though I’ll assume at the very least, she’s pretty,” Arden replied, giving Sandro a small smirk. “Yes - We hope to have the ceremony by the end of the year. We’re ready for the rest of our lives. How about you and this Ariella? Something serious or merely a date for the party?”

“Well she’s a lovely person.” Sandro assured with a nod. “Oh how wonderful. Winter ceremonies are a personal favourite actually. Something about snowfall during a ceremony. Beautiful.” He murmured in agreement. “Ariella and I have only been seeing each other for a few months but I am .... hopeful.” Sandro admitted with a small smile.

[ariella-montague]

Surprise || Ariella & Sandro

[sandroxmedici]

“Loved,” she echoed with a smile of near disbelief on her face. It was a sensation she was still trying to get used to, but enjoying every minute of. “All yours, Sir.” She bit at her lip and sidled over to the bed, climbing onto it and laying on her back. She wanted to give the Dominant a clear view of her body before he gave his next orders. 

Sandro brushed the back of his curled fingers over her cheek and met her bright eyes, “Loved.” He repeated and smiled slowly. “That’s my good girl.” He hugged out a groan that sight of her spread out on his bed. Something he found far too easy to get used to. He followed her to the bed but didn’t climb up just yet. Instead, he reached into the bedside drawer and withdrew a pair of padded cuffs. “Are you ready to play tonight, my love?”

“Thank you. You look rather dashing yourself,” Evie said, returning the smile. Was she enjoying herself? It was odd to be here on her own so soon after…regardless, she couldn’t say she wasn’t enjoying herself. It was just…strange. “It’s a lovely party. Are you enjoying?”

“Thank you so much. I think perhaps I went a little too halloween ... but I couldn’t resist. It was just so cool.” Sandro replied cheerfully, “I am enjoying. I’m here with my date. The event is beautiful and it is nice to see happy people with how terrible the month started. How about you? Are you having fun?”

The Claiming of Abe & Stef

[sandroxmedici]

“I believe I’ve worked a bit with your father,” Li commented, accepting the glass of wine from Sandro.  “I’m an administrator at the hospital.  I have zero medical training, for a Capulet, but I try my best to keep things running smoothly and efficiently.”  She took a sip of the wine and nodded her head.  “Not bad.”

“Yes, you probably have. Everyone has. It is his gift to the City. Say what you want but no one could ever deny that my father works very hard.” Sandro replied sincerely. “Well that is important part of the process. People forget but without admin, people, supplies and equipment wouldn’t be where it needs to be, funds would not be raised and so on and so on.” He nodded, “You are integral.”

[sandroxmedici]

“I, unfortunately, don’t have that luxury. With transportation and logistics, there’s no time to relax. Everything and everyone has a deadline,” Arden replied. He’d been casually nursing his single drink to get him through the night - a hangover wasn’t an option. “Well, I’m glad you’re comfortable.” Though, admittedly, Arden felt the other dom was a bit underdressed for the event. Still, he was a noble dom from a prominent family and head over a very large bank. Sandro could’ve shown up in rags and Arden would’ve said nothing. “Did you bring a date for the night?”

“Oh no. That’s a pity. I only rarely have days like that. When closings occur and large purchases, for example. Then I need to a-game it all day. Fortunately tomorrow nothing so sophisticated is n my schedule.” He nodded at the question, “Yes I am here with Ariella Montague. She is .... “ He glanced around, “She must have stepped into another room. Pity. She looks rather stunning. And yourself? I believe if I recall correctly you are planning a ceremony with Carlisle Capulet.”

[sandroxmedici]

Mateo eased up as soon as he recognized Sandro and realized it was an honest mistake. “No, sir, it’s no problem. It ain’t usually this strict… it’s just, with the riots, and so many people in one place…. just better safe then sorry.” It was mostly truth. Sure, the Romanos tended to be strict, but he’d also been tasked to ensure everything went smoothly.

“Yes, sir, I am. Just keeping an eye on everything or else I’d be dressed up with everyone else.” He’d forced his security team to go maskless - he didn’t want to take a chance of someone’s vision getting obscured or have them distracted by playing with it. “You enjoying yourself? I can, uh, help you find Ariella if you’d like…”

“It’s fine. I respect the rules. I just got misdirected. No ill intentions here, I promise.” Sandro assured with a gentle laugh. “Good good. Is your Domme here or is this strictly a work event for you?” He asked with just a twinge of curiosity. He was intrigued to see who was with the handsome but scruffy submissive. “Oh yes, it is wonderful. The Romanos really know how to do up an event. But don’t put yourself out, I’m sure I’ll find my girl.”

[sandroxmedici]

“A birthday surprise for me?  It’s not one I have to be sober to get is it?  Coz if it is it might have to wait a little while!”

“Nope ... it is all for you and no sobriety required.” Sandro passed over a small wrapped package and nodded before leaning in to dust a kiss over Rosaline’s cheek, “Happy birthday to one of the world’s best people.”
