╭──────────────────✎ ╰─▗ ▘➤ 🥀 The Detective and The Mafia ✦ ╮ │ "Are you sure you don't need my help?" I asked him one last time before I decided to leave. Once again he ignored me. Ok, I guess I'll take my leave then. I was about to stand up to leave but suddenly he draped his arm around my neck. He pulled my neck lower to his face and captured my lips. I struggled in his grip as he locked my lips with his so I couldn't free myself. Still trying to push him away as I heard some footsteps behind us. The person who approached us beamed his flashlight at me. That almost caused me to go blind. "Have you guys seen a wounded man around here?" That person asked me and another man followed him from behind. "So this is the bastard that they are looking for." I thought as I glared at the man who is still kissing me. His back was facing them so they couldn't see his face. I was about to speak up to lie for him but he pulled my face closer. I felt his tongue inside my mouth and he even had the nerve to bite my lower lip. ☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆ ☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆ A detective that can see ghost and a mafia boss that fell in love.

His body was as powerful and sexual as I remembered it, he had gotten another tattoo on his shoulder since the last time, a few more scars then I remembered on his chest. His back rippled with muscles as he pulled on a fresh white shirt, my eyes transfixed as he took his time buttoning it up. Somehow it was almost more of a turn on watching him put on his clothes than him taking them off, almost. He wiped the blood off his hands with a kitchen apron in a slow steady motion and I pressed myself back against the wall when his eyes focused on me. My eyes flittered to the back door and I battled with myself on whether or not I could make it before he caught me, I couldn't. He tossed the apron over an empty sink and stalked towards me slowly, a predator in every sense of the word and my eyes drifted to the bloody mess of a man on the kitchen floor, was that going to be me in a second? He stopped just in front of me and reached out to stroke my cheek and I closed my eyes, leaning into his touch despite knowing better. My eyes snapped open when he grabbed my chin tightly and forced me to look at him, was this it, was he going to snap my neck and dispose of my body now? "Touch another man again, and I will kill you" his voice was low and promising and I swallowed as he let go of my chin, pressing a rough kiss to my lips before grabbing my elbow and dragging me out of the kitchen. So much for that arrangement...
