Exasperate

~ to irritate or provoke to a high degree; annoy extremely ~

----------

I have been instructed to sit on my ass and do nothing as the people I call family make a plan to go to the cabin that my mother and Paul are supposedly hiding away in. I have been to the cabin and I can navigate the paths to get them there but I am not aloud to 'be stupid and get in the way', Luci's words not mine. I even said I wouldn't go into the cabin with them. I would just sit in the car a few miles from the cabin, away from all the danger, but Luci is stubborn. I hate how stubborn he can be.

 His gorgeous stubborn Italian ass annoys me to the high heavens, which is ironic considering his name. I should be saying he annoys me to the high hells.

Two days ago we were told where they were staying and two days ago Luci almost let to go get them. However, I had to stop him. He has no plan! He was just going to go to the cabin and then what? I mean even if he got to the forest he would never be able to find the cabin. The only other person who knows where it's located is Alex. We were both taken there one summer and we had to learn the paths incase we got lost. 

My ass is currently sat in the Luci's office at the compound. Luci has finally given me permission to come to the compound more regularly. I know he is being protective and he's worried but the compound is full of big muscled men who carry guns. They are probably more dangerous than anyone else. 

I hear a loud knock at the door followed by Luci's voice shouting at the person to come in. 

"Sir, the new shipment has arrived safely" The tall Italian man who looks like pretty much all Luci's men tells him.

"Thank you, Unload it at the docks and then bring it all here to the store rooms" He says in his boss voice. The man nods in acknowledgement before leaving the room, closing the door behind him again.

"Luci, what's in the shipment?" I ask. What? I'm curious.

"Nothing" He says bluntly.

I roll my eyes and let out a huff. I hate when he does this to me. He thinks he can talk to me like everybody else but he can't. I know he respects all of his men for what they do but the way he talks to them is so blunt and to me I find it rude. I know I am a member of the mafia too but I don't think I should be spoken to like that.

"Don't brush everything I ask off like that" 

"Yeah, yeah sorry" He tells me, still not even looking at me. I don't even think he's actually listening to me. I know he is figuring out a plan to deal with my mother but still, it would be nice to be listened to. To be acknowledged.

"I'm sleeping with half the men who work for you" I tell him as serious as possible. Obviously I'm not but I want to see if he's actually listening. 

"Yeah, that's nice. We can have that for dinner" What! I start laughing hysterically which grabs his attention. I love that I just told him I'm sleeping with other people and he's thinking about dinner. If he's that hungry we should go home and get some food because me too. Dinner sounds good right now. "What are you laughing about?"

"I just told you that I'm sleeping with other people and you told me that it's nice and we should have that for dinner!" I say laughing so hard I'm practically crying. As the words leave my mouth he smiles slightly before realising what I said. 

"You're sleeping with other people? So much for our relationship" He huffs looking angry at me. I roll my eyes for the second time in less than 10 minutes.

"No but I wanted to see if you were actually listening to me. I would never want to sleep with other people. You are more than enough" I say winking at him. He lets out a sigh of relief.

"Good and why were you trying to get my attention?"

"I wanted to know what was in the shipment"

"Oh" He says before debating whether or not to tell me. "It was a shipment full of a whole lot of weapons. We might need them for my plan." I nod my head as he tells me. 

"What is the plan? You never tell me anything and I want to be involved. It was my ass that got us into the situation"

"No it wasn't. It's their fault. They stole one of my shipments. I killed their men. In no way is any of that your fault" He says getting up from is desk and walking over to me who is sprawled across the couch he has in his office. He crouches down next to me, pulling up the legs of his suit trousers in the process. That I find extremely hot. He leans in and kisses me softly, "I don't want you thunking that any of this is your fault amore"

I smile, nodding at him, before putting my hands on either side of his face and kissing him a lot harder than before. He groans which makes my panties dampen. I quickly pull away because he's I realise that the must've been some sort of devious plan to distract me from my previous question.

"Plan Luci. Whats the plan?" I ask again and he sighs.

"Santos, Nicolo, your brother and I will go to the cabin and go get them. From the pictures of the cabin that Alex got for us, I can see there is only one door in and out of the cabin which makes it easier. We will give them an option of coming with us the easy way or we go in shooting at anything that moves. I still don't know what to do with them once we have them but it's partially your decision."

I think about it. What do I want to happen? I mean I no longer hate Paul as much as I hate my mother. Do I want them dead? I mean I would feel guilty but if we let them live what would we do with them? Keep them in the basement cells? If we did, surely they can't live down there forever. Would I want to torture my mother like she had her men torture me? 

"I don't know what I want to do with them" I confess.

"You don't even have to think about it right now. That decision can come later. It's also your brothers decision. It's his mother too."

TWO chapters in 1 week! Lucky you! 

Well, there is the plan. It's pretty simple. They willingly go or Luci shoots. 

More action is coming and the book is almost over :( Don't worry though! I'm planning a sequel which I'm super excited about.

Please don't forget to VOTE and COMMENT! I like to know who all of my lovely readers are.
