𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓. is one word to describe aiden johnson. I prop my elbows on top of the kitchen counter, leaning forward as I continue sucking on my cherry red lollipop. Glancing up, I stare directly into his eyes as I unhook my lips from the treat making a pop sound that echoed throughout the kitchen. He stared intensely at me as my tongue ran across the tip of the lollipop. I hear him groan roughly, desperate which causes me to wickedly smirk. The color in his eyes suddenly drains. He rounds the counter, stopping directly in front of me. "You're playing with fire," He mumbles dangerously low, looking down at me. His drained-colored eyes watch my mouth in awe as my tongue rounds the entire treat seductively. He narrows his eyes at me. "Then burn me," I whisper, taunting him, challenging him as I now stand chest to chest with him. In a fast motion, Aiden snatched the lollipop from my mouth, dropping it onto the ground before gripping my chin and forcing my head up. "Fire makes smoke, baby. You know that right?" My cool lips kiss his thumb which makes him tug my red lip. Staring directly into his eyes, I pull out another lollipop from my pocket, unraveling the wrapper. "The question is, can fire handle all of this smoke?" I whisper, bringing myself to his height to lightly brush my lips against his which makes him groan again. I suck on my new lollipop and turn around walking away, his gaze lingering on me until I was out of sight. I smile, knowing he was coming to find out for himself.

> A Mafia story that's more silly than serious. #2 in Chicklit 4/12/17 #7 in Humor 13/9/19 #8 in Romance ^ It's midnight once again, and I'm in my cramped room looking at all the old photo albums of my family before the split.

As I peeked through the gaps on my closet door I seen three men in black masks and suits come through the door. "Find the damn girl" one of the men say, I'm assuming he's the boss. The two men started raiding the bedroom and the bathroom, while the boss of the trio slowly walked directly to the closet. He had his hands on the knob of the closet, my stomach twisted. I backed away slightly to run up and attack the man. He opened the doors and I came flying out in my beautiful pj's. I caught he man by surprise and punched him in the stomach and kicked where the sun don't shine, I kicked hard to make sure he never had babies ever again. "Fuck!" He yelled as he collapsed onto he cold floor. I pulled a smirk on my face, which caused him to shoot a do glare out of those captivating eyes. The two men held me down while the boss rolled about on the floor for about 5 minutes straight, holding where I kicked him. "You just punched a mafia king darling, you're gonna regret it" He whispered softly into my ear while I was held in between the other two. Oh shit, I punched a mafia king!
