Hot Mello (Book 1)

Boss

Mello called me into a room to give me a mafia assignment. As usual, my mind drifted while he spoke.

The voice falling from those lips. And his eyes...same blue as my eyes. But his flashed fierce with a mix of passion and anger. If I searched deep enough, I could see pain there too. Same pain as in my soul.

"Will you get back in the zone?" He waved one hand in front of my face. "You always do this, fucking zone out when I'm trying to give you orders. If you won't even listen to me, then get the fuck out."

"Maybe I should just leave."

"Well, ok but you can't leave, you already know too much. I'd have to kill you first."

"Then go ahead, shoot me."

"I don't want to shoot you. I want you to listen to me. Now I need you to...oh my god, are you crying?"

I couldn't answer so he pulled a chair out.

"Here, sit down." I did and he grabbed another chair and sat beside me.

"So, what's wrong? You can tell me. I know I'm not really a caring person but if something is affecting your work, then it becomes my problem."

"Nothing's wrong."

"Bullshit. Did you get dumped or something?"

I laughed half bitterly. "No, I didn't get dumped."

"Then what? Family problems? A death?" I shook my head. "Is it something here?" I didn't respond. "Look, you knew what you were getting into when you joined us."

"Yeah I did. And I knew about you, but I didn't know you were so..." I just shook my head again and he glared at me.

"So what?"

"Nothing, forget it."

"No, finish what you were saying. I'm so fucking what? I'm trying to care and to help you here, and now you're saying it's me you've got a problem with?"

I looked him right in the eye.

"So fucking amazing. Not to mention drop dead gorgeous, sexy, fucking incredible. Should I continue?"

He stared at me silently and I burst out laughing.

"Oh I see, that was a joke." He said.

"No, it wasn't a joke. I've just never seen you speechless before." I stopped laughing. "What I'm trying to say is that I didn't expect to fall in love with the head of the damn mafia. And I'm so sorry it's affecting my work, it's just really difficult not to have other thoughts when you're so close to me."

"What kind of thoughts?" He asked.

"About holding you, touching and kissing you. And you know, things you want to do with someone you really like."

"You said in love."

"Yes, someone I'm head over heels in love with."

He bit his lip. "I need some time to think about this, if that's ok."

"Well you're the boss, you decide what's ok." I smiled.

"I'm not talking to you as your boss right now."

"Are you mad at me? I'll try to be better, I promise."

"No, I'm not mad you. Come here."

He held his arms out and pulled me into a hug when I didn't move. He was so warm and cozy, and I never wanted to let go. He just felt right.

"Maybe I'll have to give you some different assignments, ones that you'll actually listen to."

He released me from the hug and gave me a look so intense, I almost melted.

"Maybe you should do some of things you want with me." He said with a wicked grin.

I gulped and he took my hands in his.

"It's ok. I want you to."

He pulled me towards him until I was straddling him, and we kissed. He pulled my top over my head and was undoing my bra when the door opened and Rod looked in.

"Oh my god, sorry." He apologised.

"Fuck off, we're busy!" Mello shouted.

"Yeah I noticed." Rod muttered as he closed the door.

"And make sure no one else disturbs us!" Mello shouted after him.

He looked at me. "Now where were we?"
