"So what all of this about?" Leora asks as soon as they are inside the car.

Matteo looking at her and sighs. He pinch the bridge of his nose and massage his temples.

"Are you okay?" Leora asks in worry.

"Fine. We will talk later in the mansion." He says and close his eyes and rest his head on the headrest.

Looking at his tired expression makes Leora sighs. She put his hand on his temples and try to massage it.

Matteo open his eyes and look at her when he feels her cold touch. He close his eyes and let her do whatever she wants to do even when her cold skin disturb him.

"You can let your head to rest in my lap." Leora says while touching his face tries to gain some reaction from him.

Without opening his eyes, he does what she asks. Looking at his head in her laps, Leora smiles at him. She runs her fingers to his hair and massage his head slowly tries to reduce his stress.

"I wish I can help you more with the situation." She whispers.

"You already are." He answers.

Her fingers movement lulled him to sleep. He can started to feels relax after all of the chaos that happens. He never expect that this fight gonna be a his personal fights rather than the familia. He himself need to finished this, only he can end this case.

"What are we gonna do next?" Leora whispers.

"I won't include you in this. Can you give up?" Matteo asks and open his eyes to look at her.

He needs for her to know that he is serious with the questions. He will do anything to make her out of this case. Now that he knows who is the person behind all of this chaos, he will do all his best to protect her.

"No. This is our case. I won't back up that easily. God sends me to win the case." She insist.

Matteo wake up from her laps and bring her into his laps, so her chest it's in front of his.

"What if He sends you to me. Not unto this case. Not to help me through the case. But simply save me from my self." He says while his gaze piercing deep into her eyes.

"What do you mean?" She asks hesitate.

"If you don't come here, all of this will still happen and I'll still win this. It will be an easy piece. But with your coming everything will be different. The outcome is clearly will be a different out come. A good one I hope."

"Why, why my presence make this is all different?" She asks.

"You simply make me want something else than power. You make me want loves, craving for it. I don't even need this power anymore."

"You'll give all of this up, after all of this is done?" She ask full of hope. He put his hands on her face and stroke it gently.

"Yeah. I'll give up my throne. But it'll be a long way until I really free from this side of world. Maybe never." He whispers still looking at her eyes, mesmerized by her bright smile full of hope.

Leora place her hand on top of his hand. She close her eyes smiling as she feels his warm touch in her cold skin.

"It's okay, at least you're trying."

"So are you willing to give up on this case? This will be very dangerous one." He says looking straight into her eyes.

"No. The answer still no." She giggling at him.

"Fine." He mumbles. He just have to find another way to make her out of this mission.

"You still need to tell me what's going on." Leora insist.

"When we reach the mansion." Matteo mumbles and hug her closely.

"Fine, only because you are sweet tonight." She comments.

"Hmmm. Whatever." Matteo mumbles and put his head between the crook of her necks.

"You always smell good." He whispers in her neck makes her giggles at the tickles sensation.

"It tickles. I haven't take a bath yet you know." She tease him.

"Sshh... I'm trying to sleep here." Says Matteo ignoring her words.

"You really a cuddly person. I never expect that, from a big mafia Don like you." She tease him and playing with his hair.

But soon after getting no answer from him she smiles sweetly and put her hands in his waist and cuddles him. She breath his scent and put her head in his chest. Not long after that both of them are falling to sleep.

Leora awaken with his head on her lap, they are back into the first position. She doesn't know how they got into this position but whatever the position is she simply enjoy it. She looks down and see that he is still a sleep. With a gentle smile on her face she stares at his face. Tracing his face line with her finger in the air, not close enough to touch it but close enough to give some tickles warm sensation in the skin.

He can feels her lingering touch in his skin. Despite that he still close his eyes to see what she is gonna do next. He surprised to find that she does nothing except staring at his face for quite a long time.

"I know you're awake. You still owe me an explanation." She whispers right into his ears.

Matteo opens his eye and staring directly at her eyes. They look at each other for a couple of seconds before he cup her back of head and lean his face while bringing her head close to him. Leora close her eyes when she knows what will happen next. The sensation of their soft lips touch each other softly make her swoon.

She cut their kiss short and look at him. Matteo lean his head back into her laps and smile sweetly while his arms covers his eyes. He smiles at her sweet taste that still on his lips.

"That's enough, we need to get down." Leora says gently while looking at him with gentle eyes.

Matteo uncover his eyes and with fast moves he kiss her lips hard for a short time before whispers to him.

"I'm gonna ravished you tonight." He whispers and get out from the car leaving Leora gaping at him.

After her shocks, she run after him. She finds him in his room, searching something in an old box.

"What are you doing?" Leora asks and sit beside him and looking at the old box.

"Finding something from the past." He answers.

"Are you looking for your baby photo to show it to me?" She tease.

"Why? Do you want to see what is our baby gonna looks like if they look like me?" He looks at her with a smirk in his face. Leora take a pillow behind her and throw it at him.

"Who says I'm gonna have a baby with you." She shrieks with a red face.

He moves fast from his seat to lock her body under him. He moves his head to hers, his warm breath can be feels by her. She close her eyes ready for his kiss but nothing happens. He moves his head from her face to her ears and whispers in her ears.

"I'll show you that no man can touch you like I do."
