I poured myself a drink as I tried to calm down. She sat on the couch in my office staring at her fingers. I wanted to fuck her so bad after she treated my dick so well. I tried not to think about that.
"Is this your house?" she asked
I looked up at her and took a sip of my drink.
"Why did you wear that dress?" I asked her"I asked you a question first" She said
"Answer mine and I'll answer yours." I said and she sighed frustrated
"Because I like it. You don't?" She asked curiously
"No" I said and she frowned "I don't like how men stare at you in it. That stunt you and your little friend pulled on the dance floor almost got a couple of guys killed."
"You wouldn't" She said laughing and shaking her head
"You really don't know who I am" I said and she looked confused
"No am I supposed to?" She asked
"Have you heard of the Rossi family?" I asked her and her expression changed completely.
"I should go." She said standing up
"Sit down" I said to her and she didn't
"Lia! I said sit the fuck down" I said and she sat down
"So you've heard of us""I heard to stay away from you." She said looking down at her hands. She was nervous. I went over to her and bent down to be eye level with her.
"We're killers" I said to her and she stared at me and I saw the fear in her eyes
"How many people have you killed?" She asked and I stared into her eyes
"More than you can count love." I said and her hands were shaking. "I would never hurt you Lia."
I grabbed her hand and I saw the tears welling in her eyes. The sight made me want to punch something.
"Please let me go home." She said and I grabbed her chin to make her look at me
"Lia, I would never hurt you. Do you hear me?" I said to her
"You promise?" She asked and I nodded. She was too trusting. Way too trusting. I was the last person she should trust.
"I promise." I said "And you could wear a red checkered picnic blanket and I would still like it."
She smiled brightly and it hit me hard. I wanted to watch her smile forever. What was I saying?
"I don't think red is my color. Maybe it's yours" She said and I smirked
"Black is my color." I said to her
"You only wear black?"She asked "Sounds boring. You need to spice it up with some color."
"Not likely love. I can be pretty stubborn." I said and she laughed
The sound was beautiful. I wanted to hear it again.
"You are stubborn" She said and I stared at her lips. I ran my thumb over her bottom lip.
"I tend to get what I want. When I want it Lia" I said lowly and she stared at me.
"I know" she said softly and I brought my lips to hers and she kissed me back. This was the first that she'd done it and I took it as a win. I grabbed the back of her neck pulling her closer to me deepening the kiss. Our tongues danced and she moaned in my mouth. Soon someone knocked on the door and I pulled away.
"Fuck off" I yelled kissing her again and soon the door opened
I pulled away from her ready to kill the bastard from interrupting us. He walked in looking for me but began speaking before seeing who I was with.
"Yo there's a naked girl in your bed waiting for you Cam. Said you told her to wait for you." Tyler said clearly fucked up and then turned his head to see me with Lia.
"Fuck man I'm sorry. I'll keep the lady upstairs occupied while to take care of this. Then maybe we can switch" He said
"Get the fuck out" I said standing up and looking at him
"Oh Lia! Oh. Sorry man." He quickly left out the room closing the door and I looked at Lia. She looked hurt. She quickly stood up.
"Lia." I said going towards her and she moved away from me pissing me off.
"I'm going home" She said and I grabbed her arm and she snatched it from me "Please let me go while I have any sort of dignity left."
"Love, I can explain. That was before I saw you, Lia." I said and moved away from me.
"Leave me alone Cameron." She said and ran out the office before I could catch her.
I came out behind her and saw her hugging Cat. I knew the girl wouldn't let me near Lia. Cat glared at me and I saw the tears on Lia's face. They walked out the front door and I fought every urge in me not to run out there throw her over my shoulder and keep her from going anywhere. One of my guards walked by me.
"See those two women? Make sure they get home safe. Follow closely but don't let them see you." I said and the guy nodded.
I ran my hand through my hair as some guy walked past me with one of my bottles in his hand. I snatched it from him and he looked at me pissed until he realized who I was. I downed the liquor in the bottle groaning at the burn. I wanted to murder Tyler. I couldn't get rid of the look in her eyes. She looked betrayed and I never wanted to see that look in her eyes again. Maybe this was a sign that me and her won't work. That I am not good for her. She trusted me although I don't understand why but she did. I looked her in her beautiful eyes and promised I wouldn't hurt her and I was already off to a bad start.
I wasn't sure if she'd forgive me or even talk to me after this but there was one thing I was sure of. It was that she was mine and only mine. And i'd be damned if she try to tell me otherwise.
