The gambling man : Exo mafia fanfiction

Chapter 46: Tease

"Well..," Mia nervously began "what would that entail?" The girl found herself asking as the two sat across from each other. Kai pursed his lips as he thought about the correct answer to the intrigued girls question.

"I know I've been saying more but it's a lot of sneaking around. More around the lines of espionage- Suho wants to raid their main house and then plant explosives at their smaller facilities." Kai explained while his hand gently reached out to play with a long strand of her dark hair. Mia watched him in a worried silence- gently she took his hand and brought it up to her cheek as she stifled back tears. The man instantly straightened his body and looked upon the distraught face of the woman he loved.

"What's wrong angel?" His concerned voice rang sadly through Mia's ears- she clutched his hand tighter before taking her time to reply.

"I don't want to see another one of you getting hurt- Lay was bad enough but if anything happened to you Kai... I don't know what I would ever do." Mia whispered helplessly- Kai nodded before gently pulling the girl into his arms.

"I will stay by your side forever- Suho will never separate us again Mia I can promise you that." Kai soothed as he gently stroked the brunettes flowing locks of hair. Mia nodded weakly in his embrace before gently pushing him away to look at his painfully handsome face.

"What about when you work Kai?" Mia voiced softly. Knowing full well that taking over for Suho wasn't going to be something easy the brunette wondered how that would take from their time together.

"You're coming with me from now on Suho made that clear too. It's safer when you're with me." Kai spoke as his hands slowly fell onto the tops of her milky thighs- Mia nodded in response a wave of calm running over her but only to ignite a new anxiety. However, the girl bottled her feelings and gave the man before her a smooth smile.

"That makes me feel better." She half lied through her teeth as she placed her head against his broad chest gently. Kai remained silent as he gently rested his arms around her tiny body. Pressing a kiss to the top of her head Kai held the girl tight- he sensed her fear and anxiety. Kai knew the only thing he could do to assure the distraught Mia was to keep her close and keeping the level of threats around them to a minimum.

"Tomorrow you'll come with me to the office." Kai voiced gently as he held Mia close- the girl nodded slowly. The brunette in a strange sense was intrigued she had never once heard or even been to their office space. Mia would be lying if she said she wasn't the slightest bit curious to see what would be in store.

"Will I get to see Lay soon?" Mia asked without much thought. Kai remained silent for a moment as if he was pondering on the statement. The brunette detested the silence and gently pushed away from the man looking deep into his melancholy gaze. Mia's brows pulled together slightly, confusion breaking across her features.

"Is that a no?" She asked her tone having more of a bite than usual- shocking Kai slightly. Quickly he pushed out his words understanding her strong emotions.

"No! It's just...he doesn't look good. I don't want you to be upset." Kai replied softly, Mia's confusion melted away leaving a barren understanding on her face.

"Listen Kai- I respect what you're saying but I want him to know that I was there for him. The same way he was for me." The girl spoke her gaze falling to the comforter below- Kai's lips pulled into a straight line before a sigh left his lips.

"Okay, after the office hours I'll take you to him," Kai promised- Mia felt a small smile tug onto her lips as she looked up to Kai's handsome face. The man smiled back as Mia placed her hands on his honey coloured cheeks and pressed a gentle kiss on his forehead, nose, both cheeks then finally his lips. The man chuckled warmly as Mia wrapped her arms around his neck gently. There was a lingering joy in the air as the pair was briefly forgetting about how messed up their reality was.
