“Do you want to drive?” He said handing me a key that didn’t even look like a key.
“No, thank you. I’m good.” I said as I shook my head.
“Okay.” He laughed.

I watched him as he fired up the engine and the dashboard lights illuminated the inside. The car growled underneath us and I gave him a look.
There was no way he had expected me to drive that!
As Leonardo drove out of the parking, I leaned my back against the door, with my body facing him. He glanced at me and then down to my thighs before averting his gaze back on the road.
I shifted in my seat, making myself comfortable enough to hide the fact that I had different scenarios running through my head.
We arrived at his house and headed towards the elevator. The door to the elevator slid open and both of us stepped inside. I felt his fingers stroke my skin through the thin fabric of my dress and I found myself pressing further into him.
We got inside the house and I approached the floor–to–ceiling window overlooking the city and just stared at the dazzling lights with a smile on my face. I felt his presence behind me before he physically touched me. Leonardo wrapped his hands around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder.
He let go, spinning me around, and held my hand as he led me to the sofa. I sat down on the sofa and my lips parted in surprise when he got on his knees in front of me. “What are you doing?” I asked, furrowing my brows.
“Ssh” he murmured, grabbing my ankle to unstrap my heel. He slid it off and tended to the other one. The sight of him before me, on his knees as he looked up at me…shit!
I gasped when he kissed me on my ankle. He closed his eyes, sighing before trailing open–mouthed kisses up my calf. The sensation was enough to send my mind into overdrive.
I never let my eyes off him, too consumed by the power of such a simple action.
“Fuck. I can’t stop thinking about eating you again.” He whispered, eventually reaching my inner thigh.
He didn’t stop worshiping my skin. I spread my legs further, leaning back into the couch.
He was so close. Right fucking there.
He reached for my underwear, looking up at me while he kissed me on my covered clit. My mind was hazy, the feeling beyond overwhelming.
It was nothing like the first time… But just then, we were interrupted by the blaring of a cell phone. Not mine.
But he chose to ignore it as he dragged his teeth over my clit and tingles shot through the area. He was about to take off my panties when the phone blared again.
Judging from the look on Leonardo’s face, he hated the interruption even more than I did.

He angrily pushed himself off me and grabbed the still–ringing phone. He glanced at the caller ID, before excusing himself to his office.
But before he entered his office, I heard him say,
“This had better be good, Russo or I’ll fucking kill you!” An embarrassing blush crept up my cheeks.

“I’ve got new information.” Russo’s voice bellowed through the phone. “And I think you’re gonna wanna listen to this.”
“Go on,” I said, still irritated at his interruption.
“You know how you’ve always suspected that Rizzo wasn’t working alone? Well, he wasn’t. I’ve been doing some more digging over here and I heard someone mention that they’ve been approached by an outside gang to leak information for a big wad of cash.”
My eyes mold into frustration. “Who?” I bark. “Gabriel.”
Gabriel. He’s been with us for years, even longer than Russo. A member I thought I could trust.
“Are you sure?” I lower voice.
my
. “One hundred percent,” Russo said over the phone. “He wasn’t spreading it but he told another member and from what I
heard, he could easily do it again. We gotta take him out.”
A low growl rumbles in my lungs. “Good work, Russo.” “All part of the job, boss.” He said as he hung up.
I found myself staring down at my desk with heavy eyes. I have no idea why people have decided to turn on my empire for some stupid payout. They get more benefits from being in this gang than stabbing me in the back.
They should know better than that because I’d always find out and we all know how that would end.
I organized with my guards to get Gabriel to the warehouse immediately. He’ll know what line he’s crossed when he’s tied to a chair, having a conversation with my fist.
I headed out to the living room where Alessia was still sitting on the couch. I approached her from behind and wrapped my arm around the back of her neck, leaning forward to kiss her on the forehead.
“I have to go. It’s an emergency. I’ll be back in about two hours.” I whispered to her. “Leonardo-”
“Just wait up for me.” He said softly.
“Okay.” She said. “I’ll wait for you.”
“Thank you,” I said, staring at her, still holding her as I shoved my gun into the back of my pants before swiftly heading out of the house.

It hadn’t even been up to ten minutes and I was already missing him. I relaxed on the sofa as I switched on the large television, scrolling through the channels, but nothing caught my interest.
I switched it off, pursing my lips as I crossed my arms. I used to enjoy being on my own but boredom was starting to hit tenfold and I stifled a yawn.

I went to his room to take a shower and dressed myself in his t–shirt. When the one–hour mark had passed, I was lying on the sofa with a blanket covering me as I tried the television one more time.
Then the two–hour mark passed and I could start to feel my chest heavy with anxiety. I thought about the emergency he had to tend to. I thought about the fact that he might be hurt. I thought about everything and managed to exhaust myself.
I’m not sure exactly when but I dozed off and fell into a slumber had zero chance of fighting.
Not how I expected my evening to go. Leonardo better makes it up to me.
