~ Calista's POV~

I awaken to be trampled over by the sun pouring through the windows unaware of my surroundings , my senses gather that I am sitting in a bed my legs knotted up in the white silk sheets.

I ran a hand through my hair allowing the Auburn brown layers to fall nicely I take notice of my attire and realize I am wearing an over sized  black shirt and boxer shorts.

Deciding to get up and investigate my whereabouts, I shove the covers off me and proceed towards the door, I quietly walk down the hallways while studying the decor hanging from the walls.

 I examined a pair of double doors standing at the end of the hallway, One of which was open a jar, contemplating whether or not I should peek into the room or not I chose for my impulsive thoughts . I glance through the opening of the door just for my eyes to be met with a  shirtless man pouring himself a glass of scotch.

As he flexes his muscles the tattoos scattered across his back become clearer, one of his tattoos in particular stands out to me, he has a piece of writing inked on the back of his neck.He takes a sip from his glass before placing it down on his desk.

"Angel didn't anyone ever tell you it's rude to stare?"he questioned

I pushed the door open as he turned around

"Ace?"  "Didn't anyone ever tell you it's illegal to take people against their will?"

"Well plan A didn't work Bambina so plan B it was"he shrugged

"Ok there is no way you just shrugged like it was no big deal"I state

"Well maybe you shouldn't have been difficult, the outcome could have been better for you"

I slowly cross the room of his office till the proximity between us is close

"Don't you think for one minute that you have any power over me whatsoever, I am the most successful lawyer in my company and I could take you and your business down"I threaten poking his chest

He grasps onto my wrist closing the gap between us all the way, my breathing starts to pick up violently as he walks us over to the wall.

He leans down to my ear before whispering

"Angel trying to threaten me is cute, but your forgetting who I am, I am the most feared man in the mafia world"

He then hovers his lips just over my jaw before pulling away.

"One of my maids left your attire for tonight on your bed"

He picks up his glass of scotch from the desk leaving a water ring behind from his lack of a coaster.

"Tonight, what's tonight?" I cross my arms and tilt my head curiously.

"Colleagues of mine are coming over for a poker night to discuss business"

"Ok and what prey-tell makes you believe I'm willingly going to attend this poker night?"

"Because Angel it only takes one wrong movement or figure of speech to drive me to the edge and trust me Bambina you do not want to see what I'll do if I don't get my way"

I seductively walk up to him and graze my fingertips over his bicep and bite my lip.

"What if I do?"I whisper
