Touch In The Dark

Chapter 27

Dimitri's POV

I have a ton of shit to do before I initiate Evelyn and that other girl, I forgot her name. All I remember is that one of my men asked for my blessing and I decided to grant it. The background check I did on her came up clean, all the pictures she's in seem clean, no cops in the family, so in the name of love, I agreed.

The call I got from Evelyn scared the hell out of me. I thought the Russians found my home and harmed her. They'd all die before I let anyone touch her. Everyone knows not to touch what's mine.

I didn't want Evelyn in my mob, I didn't want her to know anything about this life. But the growing threat of Russians closing in, it's just safer if she's with me all the time.

"Yes Don, anything else you'd like?" Some of the wives gather in the room. They organize the parties and initiations here. It makes them feel a little more useful and it takes some of the workload off of me.

"I want someone to make a large amount of carbonara. I know it's not what we usually have, just get it done." I tell them knowing Evelyn loved my mother's carbonara.

The nod their heads and leave me in my office.

Today is Evelyn's first day at her new position, I wonder how she's liking it.

"Evelyn, come in here." I press a button on my office phone.

Within seconds, my office door swings open and reveals an annoyed Evelyn. Her cute little nose gets scrunched when she's annoyed.

"Sedersi." I gesture towards the chair in front of my desk.

{Sit.}

Her eyes follow my hand, and she plants her behind on the viridian green chair. Her straighten hair and red lips are driving me crazy today. Her hands rest in the lap of her pencil skirt. Her legs are tanned and long but still short compared to me.

"So, I basically have to serve you hand and foot, right?" She rolls her eyes.

I nod with a mischievous smile on my face. I wouldn't dream of forcing her to do anything she didn't want to do. The fact is, I know she wants to.

Her eyes touch her brain as a sigh falls from her mouth.

"I want you to proofread these, if anything seems weird, highlight it and we will go over it." I hand her a small stack of papers. Her eyes zero in on the papers.

She takes it from my desk and returns to her desk in front of the elevators. I don't usually have a ton of company up here. She won't have to talk to many people and the people she does have to speak to, will be regulars.

As the day almost ends, I call her back into my office and to bring the papers I had her work on.

"Anything highlighted?" I quirk my eyebrow.

"Yeah, hold on." She flips through the pages and pulls out a page with singular sentence highlighted.

"Right here it says you'd be giving up one percent of profits instead of the original agreed on amount." She explains.

I lean back in my seat and smile at her. She did good, I have already looked over this contract and knew the conditions. I wanted to see if she was aware enough to also point it out.

"Good girl." I praise.

A flush rises to her face as her teeth pull her lip to stop herself from smiling.

I knew she had a praise kink from the second I saw her, lucky for her, I know how to read people pretty well.

"We can go home early; I want to talk to you about tomorrow." I explain.
