CHAPTER 28.

Night dusted the atmosphere as we went home from the movie theater, it lasted for two hours and a few minutes and based on a very snoring Xam who had her head in my neck as I held her, I could see how much she enjoyed herself.

Cirano pulled up to the mansion which was slightly dark, if it wasn't for Lorenzo's car in the driveway I would have thought he wasn't home.

I wished Cirano a good night and then walked up the steps with my hands holding my bag along with Xam's fries and popcorn that she didn't get to finish.

Using my hips, I push the door open and kick it closed behind me and there seated on the living room couch was Lorenzo.

He had his head back, black shirt with legs widen as the black suit pants gripped down his bottom half and outlined his muscular thighs.

I bit my bottom lip as he lifted his head when he heard me coming in, his dark eyes staring right into me.

He quickly stand and I paused as he walked over to me, the protrusion in his neck drifting up and down as he came closer.

"I'll take her upstairs." Lorenzo took a sleeping Xam from my arms and then took her upstairs.

I was beat as shit as the days activity washed over me so I went up to my room to get some sleep in.

Too tired to change, I slumped right down into my bed beside a sleeping Salt who woke up and came over to me.

I open my arms and he took that as an invite to rest his snout into my neck.

I begin to drift away into sleep when I heard a knock came to my door, with eyes stilled closed, I mumbled.

"Who is it?"

Realizing that whoever was behind the door couldn't hear me, I lifted my head and asked who it was.

"You didn't hear me the first time, Miss. Lopez."

I rolled my eyes as his deep voice slip through the door. I shuffled off the bed and went towards the door, open it and stared up at his hunk ass.

"It isn't polite to wake up someone out of their sleep Mr. Black especially when they're bloody tired."

He was still dressed in dress shirt and slacks and had his hands in his pockets. His hair was messy and the three beauty marks on his lips glisten as he lick them and then bit the flesh.

We held eye contact for a moment until he said.

"Follow me."

Then gave me his back and walked off, confused at his standoffish behavior, I closed the door and followed him.

He took me passed the kitchen and walked further deep into the dark hall. I didn't know why the heck I'm following him but because I wanted him to trust me and because of a heavy curiosity, I took steps behind him, the silence hanging over us.

"Mr. Black, where the hell are you taking me. Just to let you know I have a brother who is a cop so don't try anything funny."

I warned him about my brother being a cop. And a low, slow laugh rolled from his chest, dark and rich. "You think that little warning scares me? No... it's more amusing than anything. I like that fire in you, even if it's reckless."

He took a left and I frowned as I notice the double large wooden doors ahead of us which Fire didn't show me on the mansion tour.

"Why did you bring me here Mr. Black?"

I asked as we both stopped at the door, he grunted underneath his breath and I once again rolled my eyes at his lack of response.

Lorenzo pushed the door open and then disappeared behind it.
