The Don's Daughter

Chapter 11

COLE'S POV

I pull up to the warehouse and I'm instantly annoyed when I see some car in Sergio's spot. I don't want to berate a new recruit in front of Ria. She should be here already. Last night I arranged for one of the rooms to be converted into a studio for her. They worked through the night and I got word it was finished this morning. I hope she likes it.

I walk in and the gym is oddly empty except for a pissed off Remo who is hitting the heavy bag. Making eye contact I give him a confused look. He nods his head towards the back. Confused even more I walk in that direction. Ninety percent of my men are crowded around a window and I hear music thumping. When I reach them my blood boils. What the fuck Ria?!

She is wearing these little black shorts displaying her toned porcelain legs. She has traditional style tattoos on the back of her thighs under her butt. One leg is Freddy's glove and the other is Jason's mask. I remember her saying she had horror movie tattoos. I love them but hate that everyone can see them. On the side of her thigh she has flowers too that go up to her hip. I can also a little tattoo one peaking out under her boob. I distract my self with how angry I am that everyone is staring at my girl so I dont get a hard on. I overhear something I probably shouldn't.

"I have a new favorite color" I hear Tony say. I don't know Tony too well but he's kind of attached himself to my crew. "It's whatever shade of pink her ass turns after it's been spanked."

Scratch that Tony is the now dead man that once attached himself to my crew.

A guy TJ that's been here about a year turns to him and says "I'm sorry I couldn't hear you. I was picturing being smothered to death by the black chick sitting on my face."

I head towards them fuming, zeroing in on Tony. My possessiveness is about to drive me to murder. I get distracted byy TJ getting attacked. I actually hear the crack before I see it. TJ is on the ground grabbing his face in a poor attempt to protect himself while a extremely angry DC is wailing on him.

Tony rushes to break them up, I intercept him.

"What was it you were saying about Mr.Bottero's daughter?" I internally cringe when I call her that but I'm trying to make a point with this asshole.

"I was just kidding man. Locker room talk." He fumbles and starts to back away from me.

"No what was it though? Something about her ass?"

"Bro c'mon. She shouldn't even be here."

I hit him with my left and he goes down. I check to make sure he stays down before attempting to subdue my best friend.

Im holding back a raging Dante while he is still trying to lunge at T.J. I see the door to the studio open and I position myself in front of it so the girls do not get hurt.

"EVERYONE GET BACK TO WORK NOW!" I command. "And get this piece of trash off my floor." I say pointing to Tony.

All the men disburses but Dante. I shove him backwards creating some distance between us and the girls, and point my finger in his face. "Calm the fuck down."

I look around and everyone has seemed to return to what they were doing. Remo is now standing in front of the door gaurding Ria. Enrica shoves past him and walks up to Dante. She practically jumps on him and wraps herself around him in a tight embrace. You can see him immediately relax. I give them their moment and walk up to the infuriating blonde instigator in front of me.

"Your first day here and you cause a God damn riot?" I say in a huff when I reach her.

She replys with that beautiful smile of hers. "Wait til you see what I have planned for day two."

I sigh looking at her defeated. All the residual anger disappeared. I hold out my hand so she'll grab it. "Let me show you around."

She nods and gives me her hand. I love the way her hand fits in mine. It's so tiny and delicate. I know I could break it with very little effort. But at the same time, she could crush my entire being with even less.

I slap Remo on the back thanking him. He glares at me and kisses the top of Ria's head before walking away.

"Are you ever going to tell me what that is all about?" Ria asks pointing at her cousin. I look at her bitchy little expression and it makes me smile.

"It's nothing, He is just protective." I say not entirely lying to her.

"Mmm hmm" She says clearly seeing through my bullshit.

"Ok " I atempt to change the subject "so here is the elevator that goes to the lower floors. You'll have access to them all but the last one." The last floor is the dungeon as we call it. Cells where we torture those who are either against us or who have information we need that refuse to give up. Ria will never step foot there if I have anything to say about it.

I show her the infirmary then take her to the dorm rooms and kitchen.

"This is a cute little common area." She says pointing to the game room.

I take my eyes of of Ria to momentarily glance at the black sectional. That is my last resort hook up spot. Seeing Ria standing in that room makes me uncomfortable. She's too good for all of this.

"Hey we're in the middle of a tour." I grab her hands and gently pull her away from the couch before she can sit. "Please keep your hands and your feet to yourself at all times and tip your waitress."

"We get food on this tour?" She asks jokingly and allows me to pull her.

"I'm sure there are Lucky Charms in the kitchen." I shrug and let out a silent sigh of relief that we are away from that couch. I pull out my phone and quickly text someone in the office to order a new one.

"You sure know how to treat a girl." She giggles. That has quickly become one of my favorite sounds.

"I'm nothing if not accommodating." I smirk at her as she rolls her eyes.

"Show me the rest of this place." She grabs my hand with both of hers pulling me down a hallway. I laugh and follow her.

I stop and point to the office on my right. "This is your dad's. You need a code to get in when the door is locked though."

She smirks and types in a pin that unlocks the door. I look at her shocked.

"I know Sergio better than he thinks" she shrugs.

She walks in headed towards his desk. I stay fixed at the door. She writes a note on a post it and reads it out loud. "To Do List - bring Ria some cabonara from Yanni's." She sticks it on the computer and walks out.

I close the door in an instant and look around checking to see if anyone saw us. This fucking girl.

After the tour I introduce her to the men. I make sure they know exactly who her father is, even though I successfully deterred any further comments about her. We work out a little and then Remo takes her home. I was going to give Remo money to feed her but he practically spit in my face.

"I will break your fucking hand if you reach for that wallet DeLuca. She's my family. I pay." He snarls at me.

"Fair enough fratello." I smirk unphased by his outburst. "I'll just feed her at school." I wink and walk away while he flips me off.
