Mafia Men IV: Rossi

Chapter 44

Lia POV

It's been five days since I've seen Cameron and I'm getting antsy. I tried to figure out the layout of the house, guards scheduled times, and escape routes but that involved a lot of sneaking around and help on Eli's part which is an issue. The more I ask him to give the more he wants to take. The thought of his hands on me makes me want to vomit but I needed to figure it out before Cameron comes here in two days to wreak havoc.

I know both men won't stop until the other was dead if they cross paths. My plan was to get Eli off my back without killing him. It was pretty simple. I was going to kill me. Well not exactly but Eli will think that I was dead. I had my escape route planned just needed a vehicle to get back to town. The keys were in Eli's office which he never let me inside of. Tonight he was boarded up in there and I had the full intention of infiltrating. I put on one of his favorite dresses and put my hair up in a ponytail just like he likes. My heels were high but he had complimented them before. It was late and I knocked on his door and he said "Come in". I put on the invisible mask that I've been wearing all this time and thought about Cameron and how I needed to do this to get back to him. I promised myself and Nic that I would fight with everything that I had. So I'd fight with the one thing Eli tried to rip from me and control, my sexuality.

I walked inside and he looked up at me. I frowned.
"You're still working?" I asked him

His eyes raked over my body and he put his pen down leaning back in his chair. His eyes darkened.

"I must be asleep." He said and I shook my head
"Because you look unreal. Why aren't you asleep?"

"I wasn't that tired so I started trying on some of the dresses you got me. What do you think of this one?" I asked twirling around in it and stopped to see his jaw clenched.

"Is that all?" He asked meeting my eyes

"You seem mad at me" I said

"No." He sighed "I'm not Lia. I'm just stressed"

"About?" I asked him holding my hands behind my back and biting my bottom lip

His hands held onto the desk like he was holding himself back from me. From taking what he wanted from me. I was getting him right where I wanted him.

"Work things" He said "As much as I love your company princess, you should get some rest."

I stepped closer to him and his jaw clenched harder.
"I'm not tired" I said and he looked down at his drink on his desk

"Then what do you want Lia?" He snapped

"To talk to my best friend" I said and his eyes softened

"I'm sorry I..Im dealing with a lot right now and I think it's best if you go to bed now." He said

"I thought you said you'd start treating me like an adult."I said stepping closer where I was next to his desk. I looked at the papers all over the desk and then noticed his stare. He stared at my legs.

"I am. You need to leave" He said not removing his gaze from my legs. I saw how hard he was through his pants. Bingo.

"What's wrong Eli?" I asked touching his face making him looked at me.

"Lia please leave" He said almost begging me

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked making my voice lower appearing sad

"No princess you didn't. It's me. It's all me. I just don't.- I don't know- what I'm trying to keep myself -I don't want to cross the line-" He rambled and I never seen him so lost before. I almost felt bad. Almost.
