Kill For You

21 | Let Go

BEN'S POV

"I'm sure Alec wouldn't mind if you had a boyfriend." Logan grinned.

Logan is in charge for recruiting and training those in the American mafia for important positions.

He's 21, and a fucking sadist.

"No thanks." Luci replied.

"Aw, why not? Am I too old for you?" He pressed her.

"Definitely not the issue." She answered, crossing her arms.

"East entrance secure." I heard Athena through my earpiece.

"Then it must be your dad. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you were with me." He leans closer to her.

"I'm already seeing someone." She rolls her eyes.

"Oh yeah? Who?" He furrows his eyebrows.

Luci's leans back into me and he looks up to meet my eyes.

"..H-Him?" He asks, his confidence fading. "But he's your bodyguard.."

Luci sighs.

"How much longer until the auction starts.. I want to go home.." She asks Mauricio.

"20 minutes." He answers.

"Hey, don't ignore me-" He steps forward and I press my gun to his chest.

"I'm given permission to shoot anybody who comes within a 2 feet radius of Luci. Regardless, of who you are." I tell him, and he steps back quickly.

"Come, we need to grab our seats." Alec walks by us with Elijah and the rest.

Luci holds my arm with Mauricio on the other side of her.

Leaving Logan standing there.

I would've shot him earlier, but I probably would've been taken into custody immediately.

We head to the huge auditorium, and Luci interlocks her finger with mine.

"So when can we make this official?" She asks, looking up to me.

I continue to scan our surroundings, since that's what I'm supposed to be doing.

"Talk later." I reply.

"Ben I wasn't really asking you a question. I'm asking you." She continues.

"And I said we'll talk later.. Didn't I tell you not to do that?" I ask her.

"Do what. Distract you? I'm 18 and I like you, what do you expect." She replies.

I don't respond.

"Can you just answer yes or no to whether you want to be with me or not?" She asks.

"Luci, didn't we talk about about this earlier?" Spade interjects.

Her jaw clenches and she stops speaking. She lets go of my arm and follows closely behind Spade.

Mauricio and I behind her.

"634, main entrance. Secure the auditorium." Athena's voice comes through the ear piece.

"Get your fucking hands off me." Lilah speaks loudly to Elijah.

"Lilah relax." He replies.

"Keep your hand from around me and my child and I will. I'll shoot you if you touch me again." Her voice was laced with venom.

Me and the rest of the guards usher the group into the auditorium, securing all entrances once VIP's had entered.

"Auditorium is secure. Has the situation been handled?" I ask Athena, and Spade looks back at me.
