Ace Valentino

Chapter Six

ACE POV

"What's she like?"

I sighed in annoyance,

"the next person to ask me what she is like will have a bullet put in between their eyes," I said annoyed by my idiot cousins.

"so she's hot then?" Ben said,

"oh yeah, she's smoking hot" Ezra replied smirking when I clenched my jaw.
"And boss man here probably has the hots for her." He added cheekily.

"No. I. Do. Not" I stated angrily

"and would you shut up about it? We talked I threatened her! How the fuck does it mean I like her?"

"well..." Ezra started, I shot him a glare. Then the door opened and Maxon entered, carrying a bag of groceries, behind him, Roxanne came in with what looked like 9 to 10 bags of groceries in each arm.

She shut the door behind her and looked at the men seated on the sofas, my mafia stared right back at her curiously. All the women were staying in Italy for the time being, though I didn't mind, the last thing I needed was a bunch of romance crazy women playing matchmakers.

"write down any allergies on one page and any preferences for breakfast lunch and dinner, each on separate pages," Roxanne said coldly. The men nodded and she slightly made eye contact with me before going into the kitchen.

She had a mask on her face and was wearing a suit, she looked dangerous and I realized why they called her the Phantom, she made no noise whilst walking, she wore all black and her mask looked terrifying, to say the least. I, of course, was unafraid, she was only another person working for me.

Elijah let out a low whistle, "Dayum" I only rolled my eyes and scoffed. She was beautiful, though I would never admit it. Roxanne Judith Darette, the name rolled off my lips easily. Too easily.

My mind was filled with thoughts of her, and I hadn't jerked off to a woman in a long time. Every glance made me hard like I was a high schooler seeing a sexy lady for the first time. Again, as I said, Pathetic.

My mafia was made up of both men and women, the latter much more dangerous than they seem, though the men were buffed up and dominating looking, the women could torture you, kill you and look good while doing it. Or at least that's what they told us.

Roxanne reentered the room and took the now filled-out pages, tucking them into her breast pocket. She snapped her fingers thrice, "eyes up here boys" she snarled "unless you want to lose them."

Everyone's eyebrows shot up, surprised she had the guts to threaten them. "Is this all the people in your mafia?" she asked unimpressed, turning to me slightly. I tensed at the disrespect in her voice. "The women will be coming with their children in a few days, we need one more room for the family of three." Leonardo answered haughtily, "and we are men, not boys" Ben added.

She did a once over then turned back to them "ya'll are actually bitches, I was just being polite." she said coolly, some snickered loudly, and others whistled in approval.

"Why doesn't Ace give his room to the three, and then he goes up to the second floor with you?" Jackson suggested, "No one goes to the second floor." she replied stiffly, "why not?" Leo asked angrily "'because it seems to me like you're hiding something."

She turned to him, glaring through her mask. "first of all shut up okay? you're just salty that I punched you, I ain't hiding shit up there, I already let you stay in my house I ain't letting you come into my personal space too jackass."

Leo only scoffed, but I got up and gestured for her to come with me, reluctantly she followed. Interesting, I thought she would at least argue back or make a comment.

maybe she's a switch like us.

my subconscious suggested. I immediately shit down the thought, not wanting another hard-on because of her.

We walked into my room and she sat on the desk chair crossing her arms, pressing her plump breasts upwards. Jesus Christ.

"Well?" she glared,
"what other rooms are there?" I asked, "I'll sleep on the couch or whatever if there aren't any." she tensed as if surprised I would even offer such a thing, sighing she shook her head and placed her hands on her lap. "You can sleep on the second floor, but you have to follow my rules up there," she stated firmly, I only rolled my eyes and nodded.

We both stood up and left the room almost bumping into everyone, I shook my head, what busybodies. They all dispersed when I gave them a look and I followed Roxanne upstairs.
