Nephilim (Book One in Angels, Gods & Demons series)

5. Luc

I took Kieran's huge palm, allowing him to help me get out of the car as I carefully held my black floor-length dress, giving him a small smile and a "thank you", earning a simple nod from him.

My brother soon joined me also holding out his arm for me to take, showing his million dollar dazzling smile.

"Shall we?"

I nodded in response, tangling my thin arm with his strong muscular one, together walking towards the classy restaurant, following Kieran's lead.

He opened the big floor-length glass door, waiting for us to get inside and as soon as we did, my brother stopped for a brief moment, giving him precise instructions while I looked around, gazing at the opulent, lavish styled room.

Golden yellow wallpapers with intricate designs and swirls, neatly polished wooden floors, round white fabric covered tables with symetrically placed golden fabric covered comfy chairs and dimly-lit crystal chandeliers, all that giving it a very relaxing vibe.

"Come Blake," My brother's deep voice pulled me out of my daze, his warm hand grabbing my own, giving it a gentle tugg as he led me towards our table.

I kept glancing around while we walked, ultimately noticing the whole place was fairly empty, the three males sitting at the furthest table being the only customers besides us.

Once we reached our designated table I now noticed Gio, one of my brother's associates sitting beside a younger guy,  maybe around my age, his big brown eyes the same shade as Gio's now shamelessly roaming all over my feminine curves.
However, what intrigued me the most was the other guy's powerful, leader-like presence, sitting across Gio and his son, his stormy grey eyes attentively watching the whole scene unfold in front of him before they landed on me, sparkling with obvious interest.

"Erick, Blake, I'd like you to meet my beloved and only son, Ricardo," Gio's thick italian accent pulled me out of my daze, drawing my attention back towards the young guy beside him, the said guy getting up from his seat, bending forward to place a small kiss on the back of my hand as soon as I reached to shake his.

"Ciao, bella," He sweetly greeted, smirking.

"And this is my associate, Lucifer," Gio spoke again, this time drawing our attention towards the other, much more interesting guy.

Wait, Lucifer? Seriously?
This is like, the second weird name I've heard of in the span of like, what? Two days?
What's next? Meeting the whole hell?

I mentally shook my head, clearing out my silly thoughts, focusing on being as nice as possible so I moved closer, also stretching my hand out, giving him a light smile.

"Hi, I'm Blake. Erick's sister."

He got up from his seat, curtly bowing like a veritable royalty, placing a chaste kiss on the back of my hand.

Hmm...I like him already.

I then made room for my brother to also shake his hand and walked around the table, sitting right between Ricardo and Lucifer, facing him.

So, after introductions were made, soon we ordered some drinks first and I made myself comfortable, listening to their discussions about guns, drugs selling and other boring stuff like that...until I suddenly felt a foreign hand roaming on my thigh.

What the...

I intuitively snapped my head in Ricardo's direction, noticing the disgusting smirk etched on his face, changing into a frown as soon as I slapped his hand off, throwing him a murderous glare.
