Mafia Collateral: A Deal With The Devil

Date Part One

Luca

I've never been on a date in my entire life. I've never had to. Because of who I am women tend to fall at my feet and I never had a reason or the want to take them to dinner or anywhere else, to wine and dine them make them feel special. I've never found someone worth the effort, until now. Olivia isn't like other women. She doesn't throw herself at me. She challenges me, tests my patience, calls me out on my bullshit. She wanted to see the monster side of me and when she caught a small glimpse of it she didn't run for the hills. This girl is headstrong and brave.

I want to take her to dinner, to make her feel special. Treat her special, do things for her I've never done for anyone else. Hell we don't even have to have sex even though the idea of it is enough to make my dick hard but I won't push that on her. If she wants it then we will cross that bridge when the time comes. I've got self control and I'll wrangle in the beast inside of me and wait for her to make the move, if she ever does.

I adjusted the jacket to my suit nervously. To say I was nervous is an understatement. I've never been on a date before, sure I know how they work you sit down eat, talk, and get to know one another. I couldn't wait to get to know more of Olivia, what's makes her laugh and what makes her mad. When she climbed into the back of the suv crying last week all I seen was red. Hot burning anger wanting to go destroy anyone who dared to hurt her, who made her cry but I couldn't because it was her own family. If I had it my way I would but all that would do it hurt her and I've already promised myself and her that I wouldn't do that.

I strolled down to Olivia's new room, right next to mine. When she mentioned she wasn't sleeping well and wouldn't mind having her own room it took no time in setting up the room right next mine. I wanted her closer to me anyways. I'd prefer her sleeping in my bed everyday but I don't want to scare her and I know that's a big leap forward so for now next door will have to work. I walked out of my room and stopped at her bedroom door. I lifted my knuckle and tapped it twice on her door hearing rustling before she opened the door. There she stood in a red strapless knee length form fitted dress along with black high heels. Her hair curled into loose waves and her makeup simple but perfect.

"You look beautiful Liv." I felt my throat tighten just looking at her, she's the most beautiful creature on the planet and the best part is that she doesn't even know it.

"Thank you. You look- handsome. You ready?" She blushes nervously before stepping out of her room shutting the door behind her. Her vanilla floral scent flooded the hallway and I almost moaned from it. So unique, so her.

"Yes." I grab her hand and lead her to the garage. I walk to my all black Audi and open the passenger door for her. She looks at me like I've lost my mind.

"You're driving?!" She gasped climbing into the seat.

"Yes mam." I nodded once and closed her door before walking to my side and climbed in myself.

"I didn't even know you knew how to drive." She teased before poking her tongue through her pouty red painted lips.

"I'm pulling out all the bells and whistles for you. There is one problem though..." I trail off almost scared to tell her but I have to.

"Since we aren't in the blacked out suv I need you to put this on." I pull out a black silk bandana from the pocket on my jacket.

"Okay." She nods no evidence of disbelief or irritation in her voice. She took the fabric from my hand and started folding it into a blindfold.

"You're not mad?" I ask my heart skipping a beat watching her every move. She's so calm and graceful with everything she does.

"No Luca, I'm not mad. I understand why you are having me do this. Me knowing where the bunker is, is a liability." She nods in understanding.

"I'll show you everything, give you the transparency, whatever you want. I want to show you my world first. If you can handle that then I'll show you everything."

"Really? You'd do that?" She asked loudly in disbelief. She doesn't know that I'd do anything for her and that's the reason she will be the cause of my destruction.

"Yes Olivia, I would. I won't be putting you in danger all the time because the idea of something happening to you kills me but I want you to know me, the real me." Her head snapped my way and every emotion was sticking through her iris's fighting for dominance, happiness, approval, arousal.

"I'd love that." She whispered lifting her hand rubbing my cheek with the palm of her hand and I instinctively lean into her touch.

"We better get going if we want to catch those reservations." I reluctantly pull away from her and watch as she slips on the blind fold guilt eats at me for even having her do this but I can't chance her knowing everything before she is ready because she is right, it's a liability. I won't risk my entire empire not even for her if she's not ready to handle sitting at the top with me.
