The Righthands Underboss & Lawyer [M/M/M]

03 - Chapter Three - Theo Vincent's Point Of View.

I should have known it would have come to this. Opening the door, Maddox and Demitri were on the other side.

"I brought you a gift." He smiled, all but shoving Demitri inside the condo.

"You shouldn't have, really." I said. Dragging my hand through my hair in frustration.

"Oh, don't be like that." Maddox said, coming inside and closing the door behind him.

"Demitri, you're welcome to the room you used last time."

As soon as he was gone down the hall, I bitched at Maddox.

"Just what the hell is your game, Maddox? I told you I didn't need the babysitter, and you still brought him here."

"But he's your type, Theo."

"I swear to fucking god, if I hear one more of you fucks say that he is my type, I'm going to lose my fucking mind."

Maddox looked puzzled, but smirked again.

"Alexi?"

"Do you even need to fucking ask?" I snapped.

"No, I guess not, but I really should be on my way back home. You can borrow him for a few days and bring him back in one piece."

With that, Maddox left. I grabbed the closest thing, which was the tv remote, and whipped it at the door. More angry Italian flooding out of me. I was pissed. Demitri came out, a tank top and sweatpants that hugged every part of the man that I found dangerous.

"Are you alright?"

"Peachy."

"You don't sound—-"

"Maddox abandoned you here for a few days. If you want to go back, just let me know. I'll take you."

"Alright."

He yawned, and I watched him. I felt dirty watching him like this, but he was handsome. Giving my head a shake, I walked away to the kitchen.

"Would you like anything?"

"Have you eaten dinner yet?"

"No. I was working. I sat down to relax before I was going to order something. Then you guys arrived."

"Great, I'll order something. Are you picky?"

"No. Not at all."

"Even better, Chinese?"

"Sure."

While he ordered food, I sat there and watched him move around my space comfortably. It was odd to me. The thought of sitting here and picking him apart was there, but I didn't. At the moment, there was no need for that kind of behaviour from me.

"Theo?"

"Huh?"

"I said, thank you for letting me stay here again. I understand this isn't under the best circumstances. Maddox forcing me on you. I mean."

"It's fine. You've been polite and respectful of my space. I would rather you at this point than anyone else Maddox decides to force on me."

"I can assure you, I will be nothing but respectful."

The urge to say 'Are you sure about that?' was there, but I settled on something entirely different.

"Thank you, I appreciate that. I will try my hardest while you are here, to be a kind host."

He smiled softly, and I wanted to curse the ground that Maddox and Alexi were walking on. Maddox was really out here trying to serve this man to me on a silver platter. Signed, sealed, and fucking delivered.
