I walked down the stairs quietly and looked around. I was so confused the damn man thought I knew where the kitchen was? The house was huge! I saw a man walking down the hall and disappeared behind a door. I walked cautiously and peeked behind the door the man went into. Men were everywhere. I spotted Dominic and walked in. I squeezed my way past a few men, then I lost him. Where did he go? Men were looking at me, some confused and some even seemed amused. "Hey there little one", one murmured in my ear. I froze as his hand touched my arm and started to slide down. "Carlos. Take your hands off of her", his voice deathly low. I looked to my right to see Dominic staring down at me. When he didn't move his hand Dominic grabbed my hand and pulled me flush against his chest and wrapped his right hand around Carlos' throat and squeezed. My eyes widened as his face started to turn red. "Next time listen to me", Dominic gritted out between his teeth. I didn't want to see anymore. I turned and hid my face in Dominic's chest. His arm tightened around me and i suddenly felt safe. Safe. From all these men. He was protecting me. Why? I heard coughing and then Dominic's hand grabbed my left arm and pulled me back to look at me. I must look like a deer in headlights, so afraid. His hard eyes explored mine then looked at everyone that was staring at us. "Next time another one of my men lay a hand on this woman I will not hesitate to kill you". I gasped and everyone looked at me. Then men found their way to their seats. Dominic grabbed my wrist and tugged me behind him as he walked to his seat. Women came from revolving doors with food on plates. Three maids. One looked at me curiously and the rest ignored me. Dominic sat and looked up at me. "Aren't you going to sit"? "I have no place to sit", I whispered. Men looked at me then Dominic who glared at me. "Rosa, grab me a chair", his voice demanding. The plumpest maid quickly brought me a chair. I positioned it so I was in the middle of Carlos and Dominic. Rosa quickly brought me a plate and I looked up at everyone digging in their food. I sat and looked down at my hands, pretending to be interested. The man on the other side of Carlos started talking to the man in front of him and then everyone started talking. I sighed and looked around the dining area. "Are you not eating"? My head snapped to Dominic. "Hmm"? He glared at me and I picked up the fork. I quietly forked some baked carrots and put them in my mouth. He visibly relaxed and joined in on the conversation. I must have missed something because everyone got quiet and looked at me. I swallowed hard and looked at everyone. "What", I asked quietly. "Carlos called you beautiful", the man next to Dominic said. I looked at Dominic and his eyes were glued to Carlos. He reached down and grabbed my chair and yanked me closer to him. I steadied myself and pulled my plate to me. "Eat", he ordered. Everyone started eating, including me. I peeked out from under my lashes at Dominic. He was already staring at me and I quickly looked down at my food, blushing for being caught.
Dominic POV
I saw her walking in from across the room. She looked much better after a shower. Beautiful. Her hair still wet and curling from her shower. She looked right at me then I lost sight of her. I made my way through my men and found her just as Carlos, my most careless man, touched her arm. She froze and I saw fear in her eyes. She didn't want him touching her. Anger was building inside of me and I wanted to squeeze the life out of him. I stalked to her until I was right beside her. "Carlos. Take your hands off her", my voice deadly. When he didn't move his arm I yanked her to me and she watched as i choked him. As if she couldn't stand to watch what I was doing she instantly buried her head in my chest once again. I found it oddly comforting. His face was blood red but he didn't try to stop me. He knew better, all these men knew better than to cross me. I was the damn boss. I let go and he bent over coughing, trying to catch his breath. "Next time another one of my men touch her I will not hesitate to kill you". I meant it. I did not want anyone touching her but me. I heard Katilina gasp and everyone looked at us. Adrian looked at me and shook his head. He was my second hand man. My brother. Everyone took their seats and I pulled Katilina behind me as I made my way to the head of the table. I looked up at her when I saw she didn't sit. "Aren't you going to sit"? Her eyes widened as she said, "I have no place to sit". Of course. I was stupid. Carlos sat on my right. I saw Rosa and demanded her to grab me a chair. Once Katilina sat down and a plate was sat in front of her she looked around at everyone. It made me instantly jealous as she let her eyes stay a little to long on Adrian.Carlos started talking and she zoned out. "Are you not eating"? She acted as if she didn't hear me but I know she did. She picked up her fork and started eating. Good. I joined in on the conversation about the Russians trying to steal one of my clubs. Suddenly Carlos looked at Adrian and said, "She's beautiful isn't she"? Everyone stopped talking and anger started to build once again over this little woman in my house. I was going to kill him if he didn't leave her alone. I glared at him and Katilina looked up as the room silenced. "What"? "Carlos just called you beautiful", Adrian said. She looked up at me again and I grabbed her chair and yanked her closer to me. She quickly steadied herself and grabbed her plate. As everyone started eating again I continued to look down at her. I saw her head barely lift and she looked up at me under her lashes. I felt myself growing hard at her seductive look. She quickly looked away and i smirked at her as she started to eat. I'm going to have some fun.
