• Gabriella Martín vs. Katie Fairfield •
The white Cadillac pulls up to the club called Las Fiestas. Lane reaches over and takes Katie's hand in his. He looks over to her with love in his eyes.
"You look so beautiful, Katie." Lane's voice is warm, honey sweet. "I'm glad I had you wear it."
The blonde frowns. "I hate this dress. It's itchy and looks like a child would wear it."
Lane rolls his eyes at her in annoyance. "Well, you're still beautiful."
Katie looks up into his blue eyes, seeing how they glow in the dark of night. Her hand squeezes back. Axel's voice interrupts their moment.
"We're here." Axel announces with a tired smile.
Lane glares at him in annoyance but opens the car door, stepping out. He holds out his hand and helps Katie out. He closes the car door and offers his arm, the blonde taking it with a blushing smile. They walk around the car to the sidewalk.
"Las Fiestas? It sounds so Mexican." Katie chuckles, "Or Spanish! Spanish, I mean."
Lane chuckles at his blonde lover and walks her into the club. Loud music blares in their ears when they first walk in. Katie turns to the crime lord with an arched brow.
"Are clubs also part of your business?" Katie asks him in his ear.
"Yes!" He answers back.
The two walk through the club to the VIP section. Katie tried not to fidget, seeing how the others girls are dressed compared to her. Lane's hand takes hers, squeezing tight for reassurance. It brings a small smile to Katie's lips.
They enter through the VIP section, the music fading as they walk into a more private room. There, sits Sebastián Martín, with a large group of young women around Katie's age. The crime lord nods to the crime prince as he sits down.
"Señor West!" Sebastián exclaims happily, "So nice of you to meet me on such a short notice."
Lane takes his coat off, laying it down for Katie to sit on. "I like what you've done with the place...really festive and loud."
Sebastián chuckles. "You, my friend, really know how to compliment a guy."
"What's your proposal, Martín?" Lane says with annoyance, knowing that the Latino man is stalling. "Spit it out."
"To show you my gratitude for giving me my position in your business-for providing income for my family-I want to offer you my only daughter, Gabriella," Sebastián motions to the young Latina, whom sits by her father awkwardly "for your hand in marriage."
The two lovers sharply look up at the Latino in shock. Katie softly gasps, her eyes widening in horror. She looks to Lane, whose pale yet still has a red tint to his cheeks.
"Um...no." Lane shakes his head, his mind racing. "I'm flattered, Martín, but I cannot marry your daughter."
"Why not? Are you taken?" Sebastián chuckles, looking at Lane's escort.
"Yes, well, I have a-" Lane clears his throat, "-lover."
"Well, my daughter is bred from the best families on this side of the United States." Sebastián presses, motioning for his daughter to stand.
The blonde and the Latina make brief eye contact, both looking away quickly. Katie's heart races in her chest. Gabriella quickly makes her way over to Lane, sitting partially on his lap. Her hand rubs his chest while her head rest in the crook of his neck. She can hear the crime lord's heart beating rapidly in his chest. She smiles at this. Katie scoots over, her hand on his shoulder and her head resting on his bicep. She tries to pull Lane away but the crime lord is too solid. The blonde begins to silently pout.
Lane looks at how the dress on Gabriella is fit perfectly in certain places. "I'm sure she is the cream of the crop, but I refuse to part from my lover. I already have enough on my hands-"
"In my culture, if you refuse a gift, it's offensive." Sebastián tried to use guilt against Lane, "Almost betrayal."
Lane stares at him for a long time in silence. Katie's heart races at the anticipation. The crime lord looks down at the young Latina, who stares up at him with her large dark eyes innocently. The crime lord starts to look to Katie when he notices a small bruise beneath her eye that had been attempted to hide by makeup. And another on her bicep. Something inside Lane shifts. He looks down at the ground, his mind racing.
Why isn't Lane speaking up? Katie wonders, The answer is obviously no! Lane, tell her to get her hands off of you!
"I'll take her." Lane purses his lips, his tone low. Katie's heart drops to her stomach, nausea filling her. "But I'm not going to marry her."
"Pre-marital? I should think not!" Sebastián exclaims in disgust, looking to the blonde. "I refuse to let my beautiful desert flower be one of your girls you use from time to time! A damn concubine!"
Katie stares at the Latino man insulted, her heart breaking in her chest.
"Give me time to get to know this young lady before I decide if I want her to be my bride." Lane slowly nods, his hand squeezing his blonde lover's waist. "Besides, she will be out of your hair for the time being."
Gabriella happily squeals, her hands grabbing Lane's face. She quickly plants a kiss on his lips, her arms wrapping around his neck. Her sweet perfume, the smell of rose petals, fills Lane's nostrils.
Katie's mouth gaps open but no words come out. Tears slowly splash down her cheeks. Her heart aches in her chest. The blonde's hands begin to tremble. Katie lets go of Lane, scooting away from him. She sharply looks to the crime lord with furrowed brows, her face a mixture of shock, anger, and hurt. She faces forward, something dark and nasty festering inside of her. She glares at Gabriella with tight lips, her hands ball up into fist.
The crime lord grabs a hold of Gabriella's biceps and pulls her off of him. He gives her a firm look, his heart racing in his chest.
"Yes, yes." The Latino man nods, hope in his dark eyes. "If that is the best you can do..."
"Yes, it is." Lane's tone is firm, "I will take care of your daughter, don't you worry Martín."
"Daddy, are you forgetting another offer?" Gabriella reminds her father, a giddy smile in her face.
The crime lord looks to Sebastián, his right hand reaching for Katie. But he only feels a warm, empty seat. Lane furrows his brows, holding onto Gabriella's biceps as she lays her head back on his chest. He looks over to see Katie is gone. Panic fills him.
"Where did Katie go? My escort for the night?" Lane firmly ask the Latino, worry in his voice.
Sebastián chuckles. "She just got up and walked out. I guess she realizes you have a new escort."
Gabriella rolls her eyes at her father, rubbing Lane's chest. "Daddy's forgetting so I will say it. You can take another one of these ladies for one of your men. Another gift of our gratification."
Lane's eyes are glued to the exit, worry and fear in his heart and mind. ""I'll take a blonde-I don't care which one-excuse me!"
The crime lord quickly rises to his feet, leaving Gabriella to fall on her side on the couch. Lane rushes towards the exit of the private room.
"My daughter is already packed! Would you mind waiting for the blonde to pack her things?" Sebastián calls after Lane.
"Yes, yes!" Lane swats his hand behind him.
The blue eyed man rushes out of the private room in search for his blonde lover. His heart racing in his chest.
