Rival Temptations

Chapter 2

Lilith POV

As the limousine pulled up, me and Esmeralda stared at the luxurious mansion in shock. Even for us, one of the richest families, it was a large mansion. 

I took a deep breath, smoothing out my face, becoming emotionless.

I came out of the car, looking sexy as usual. Instantly, there was paparazzi everywhere, asking questions, taking pictures, and trying to grab me. 

I helped Esmerelda out of the car, giving her a small nod in reassurance. We strutted in, confident in our looks and abilities. 

We were fashionably late as usual. 

As we walked in, there were lights flashing different colors, up high in the ceiling where there were beautiful gold cages where women danced seductively in sexy outfits. I could see the huge bar,  stocked, and caterers walking around with flutes of champagne and hor'doeuvres.

People were gathered everywhere and even I recognized many. Women paraded in sexy dresses, men in black suits.

I spotted a familiar face, an old family friend. 

I walked up to him, grabbing some champagne on the way.

"Well, well, if it isn't Lilith, my favorite Russian." He smirked. He was a tall man, around 6 feet tall, part of the Greek Mafia. We had good ties with them because we helped them win a war with the Australian Mafia. He wasn't the leader but he was the leader's cousin and a very sexy man.

"Adonis, wonderful to see you. This is Esmerelda, my second in hand." I explained, looking him in the eye seductively. We have had fun every once in a while when we saw each other. 

All three of us chatted for a bit before I excused us to go meet other people. 

I felt a hand on my lower back and  felt the dominating presence.

"Leonardo" I grimiced.

"Glad you still recognze me," he whispered in my ear, his hand still on my back. 

I quickly turned around to face him, look him in th eye. 

Leonardo was the son of the Italian Mafia, our sworn enemy.

As much as I hated to admit it, I grew nervous in his presecence simply because of his dominating authority.

He had tanner skin, with black hair, contracdictory to my light brown almost blond hair. With his hazel eyes and my moonlight blue, we were very diffrent. He stood at a good 6'2 and  I at 5'3.

I never liked my height because no one ever took me seriously until I had a dagger at their throat.

Leonardo POV

Lilith. 

We have known each other since we were young children contsantly bickering and  fighting. She was like a fox, cunning and  smart, whereas I relied on my strengtha and  power over people. 

"Where is your father?" I questioned.

"I am representing him for tonight. And  you know I am much more viscious than he his." She smirked, her fingers tracing my tie seductivly. 

"I saw you come in with another woman, in the red dress. Where did she go?" I asked again not once altering eye contact.

"Most likely off flirting to some Irish man." She answered as she grabbed my scotch, downing it, and  walked away, swaying her hips and  slammed the crystal cut glass on a nearby table.

I admired her from a distance, watching how she talked to other men, jealusy rearing its ugly head. 

I groaned knowing that as much as I hated her, I was also attracted to her.

I turned my back to go find Emara, my twin.

Esmerelda POV

I sat in the dark corner, watching one of the dancers as she seductivly danced to a slow sexy song that came on.

I sipped my whiskey as a woman in a light purple, almost lavender dress came up to me. She had stricking features, obviously from Japan. 

When she came up to me, we talked for a bit about basic things before she was whisked away by another woman.

I watched my best friend talk with Leonardo and  smirked to myself. I loved her to death but she could be very intense sometimes. 

The night wore on and  everything went according to plan so far.

People were getting drunk, including the twins. I started talking to Lilith through our earpiece and we decided to go forward with the plan.

I found Leonardo talking to one of the dancers, making her blush and  laugh. I rolled my eyes and  walked up to them.

"Excuse us," I told the dancer. She was a redhead, quite pretty.

I saw from the corner of my eye Lilith starting to flirt with Emera. It was widley known that Emera enjoyed woman more than men. Lilith didnt mind who it was, as long as she liked them.

"You came here with Lilith, yes?" Leonardo asked me.

I smiled softly, "Yes, yes I did. I work for them."

"Ah, you must be smart then, I dont think you're a bodyguard." He joked. 

I forced a smile, batting my eyelashes and softly garbbed his arm, leading him to a private room. He smirked, happily walking with me.

Probably thought I would be with him. Stupid.

Lilith POV

I actually enjoyed talking and  flirting with Emara, too bad I had to  kill her. 

Oh well.

We laughed and flirted and had a couple drinks when she took me to a private room.

Once we got there, most people would expect me to be nervous, heart beating fast etc. But for me, that feeling when your about to kill someone was almost peaceful. 

She layed on the dark purple velevt couch, the lighting a dark seductive red. She began giggiling, telling me to join her. 

I climbed in, my hand going to my thigh.
