Terrornoss - Tied Together

Chapter 24- Antonio

Evan
"Hey, hey, hey! Do you have permission to be here?"

I'm stopped mid-step as I trekked to a generously large V.I.P room watched over by the tall guard. Though I couldn't see inside due to the curtains on the entrance, I could hear deep laugher and glasses clinking.

"Antonio ordered some more drinks, he even ordered one for you. You wouldn't want him to be upset now?" I respond, holding the whiskey tray to him.

The guard narrows his eyes, begrudgingly taking a glass and stepped aside. I nodded my thanks and stepped in, bouncy music filling my ears.

The room was illuminated with red and blue light. Red velvet couches were laid across the room, each holding wealthy looking people that could kill you with their looks.

One couch on the side caught my attention. It held three men, in the middle was a tall, gruff bearded male wearing a white tiger skin coat.

That must be Antonio.

I stepped up the small step and padded towards the gang boss. His blue eyes glowed as I neared, his body painted by the neon blue and red lights.

I silently placed the trays down on the small table the boss laid his feet on while my eyes searched the room.

My eyes caught a door across the room, another guard standing by it.

That has to be his office.

"Do I know you, baby?"

I flinch when Antonio's Brooklyn slur hits my ears. I peer up to see him staring at me intently, interest flickering in his eyes.

I shook my head, trying not to look suspicious. "I'd hope so sir, your employer did hire me."

Antonio snatched my ID pin, pulling me closer to his face and stubbly chin. His breath smelt of whiskey and cake and his hair was a greasy pomp.

"Dom Benedict?" He mumbles, peering slyly up at me.

I chew my lip nervously, I never did read my fake name on my tag...

"Yep! That's my name," I chirped nervously as the man eyed me up and down.

Fuck, I'm busted!

I imagined him grabbing a pistol from out no where and shoot me between the eyes but instead, he takes my arm and forces me onto the couch, plopping me right next to him.

His fur coat was the first thing that touched me, then his thigh and then his arm wrapped around my shoulders.

I knew by now Luke and Ryan must've hacked into the casinos security cameras and I glanced to the cameras at the corner of the room.

"Evan, you're fine. Win his trust. Use your... seductive charisma-"

"Hey! That's my boyfriend you're talking to," Brian scolds Luke through the earpiece that buzzed like a bee in my ear.

"Just focus on getting into his office, his vault must be in there," Luke ordered.

I glanced at the camera as acknowledgement as I couldn't do it by voice with Antonio uncomfortably close to me.

"How come I haven't seen your pretty face around here? I would've remembered a face like yours," Antonio trills, placing a hand under my chin.

I twist my head away before answering. "I just started, this is my first day. I think I should be on my way to serve some more drinks, I don't want to get in trouble with the boss."

As I stand up, Antonio takes my arm and forces me back to the velvet cushions. "Aren't I your boss? I'm the who runs you job and gives you the salary."
