Chapter Seven

Giovanni POV.

My eyes never left him as i discussed with Viktor, i noticed how his hands trembled and his face went pale, his skin soaked with sweat, my brows furrowed, what was wrong with him, he was usually very confident and stubborn, what could make him like this.

Ever since he stepped foot in this mansion, i had been watching him.

"Begin the training." I said to Viktor as i fastened my pace towards him, Viktor also trailing behind me.

"Are you a weakling? How can you show such sighs of weakness on your first day?" I berated at Arson, my voice sounding as harsh as ever, for some reasons, i hated it when his friend held him up by his waist and he even knew to lean wealky onto him.

Arson eyes turned red, i don't know if it was from anger or from shyness but the next second, he regained his composure and glared furiously at me, i furrowed my eyes, he was about to say something when his friend covered his lips and forced him to bow.

"We are sorry Boss, Arson isn't weak, he just had a mental breakdown, don't take it to heart, don't take it to heart." Jack begged frantically, he was obviously very scared of me, why then is Arson so confident, i narrowed my eyes at him before walking away, i walked past a huge bucker and claimed the stairs, sitting at the upper region where i can see everyone and everything happening below clearly.

I waved my hands, telling my men not to mind me and go on with their training, Viktor led the new bodyguards, more than ten of them into the swimming area, all of them bulky and huge, with threatening presence, compared to Arson, he seemed out of place, he was skinny and short, his cute and slender figure made him more like a model than a bodyguards.

Several men came forward and tied their hands behind their back, as part of their training, they were requested to untie themselves underneath the water within five seconds, i watched the resolute gaze of Arson with a smirk, he was good at spying huh, let's see how good he is.

As the sound of the bell rang, the twelve men were pushed into the water, they were blindfolded and tied tightly, two seconds passed by quickly and the first person emerge, after him, three other men emerged, three seconds later, Jack emerged from underneath the water, my eyes flickered slightly before i turned to the spot where Arson had jumped in, it been more than six seconds now.

"Boss, you've got  a call." Pavel, my bodyguard handed me a phone, i checked the caller ID and frowned.

I walked away from the nosiy arena and walked to a corner hidden behind the corridors.

"Lorenzo!" My voice was sharp and cold as i called out his name, my face lucid and my palm tightened into fists.

"Giovanni Salvatore, ha.. Long time no talk huh?" His voice held its usual smugness, this time with a hint of pride.

"What are you playing at?"

"Am challenging you, Giovanni what else am i doing? You Fucking killed my parents, Asshole."

"Your parents betrayed the gang Lorenzo, the Russian mob got them before i could..."

"Ha..stop the bull crap, our family had remained loyal to the Salvatore family for decades, to repay us, you killed them, Am not going to sit and watch you ruin my family Giovanni!!"

My fists clenched tightly, Lorenzo two years ago was still my trusted aide, but i sent him on a mission two years ago, that period, his parents suddenly joined the sides of the Russian mafia, for almost a year, they sold my information to them, even when they betrayed me, i didn't intend to kill them, after capturing them, i merely tortured his father for some info about the Russian Mob but got nothing.

After releasing them, the Russian killed him, leading Lorenzo to believe i was responsible for their deaths, even though the facts were laid bare and even a child could see through the conspiracy, except...i chuckled darkly, Lorenzo was in too, he was merely using this as a cover.

"I've given you enough time Lorenzo, you've been acting up, don't let me take action." I warned with a stern voice, was i being too lenient this period, even a loser like Lorenzo thinks he can put up a fight with me.

Suddenly i heard a commotion down the swimming arena, my eyes flickered and the first thought that came to mind was Arson, i hanged uo without warning and rushed to the scene, Jack was giving an unresponsive Arson Lips to lips respiration, i noticed his hands were still tied and he was still blindfolded, i snickered and walked towards them.

Without warning i shoved Jack aside and bent towards him, his full plump lips made me gulp slightly, unable to restrain myself, my hands trailed his lips slowly, moving upwards, the tip of my fingers traced his jawline, his nose and when i got to his eyes, i noticed his long lashes twitched, i chuckled and stood up.

"He's up, get him changed and send him to my room."  I commanded and left without turning back, Viktor and Pavel followed me.

"What happened?" I questioned, my eyes emotionless, i hadn't even had my fun with him yet and they are already planning to drowning him.

"He is too weak, after the time elapsed, he still hasn't got out from the water we proceeded to other training but after five minutes he still didn't come up, his friend jumped in to rescue him." Viktor explained, his voice small. Viktor may be a jovial type but he knew not to offend me when am really angry. 

***

I walked into my room and Arson was already there, beside him one of my men stood there, on seeing me enter, he bowed and left, i nodded at him, i removed my coats and hanged it at  the coat rack by the door.

I walked to the sofa where Arson layed with his eyes closed and his lips pursed, my eyes lingered on his lips before going to his pale cheeks, i lifted him up and placed him on my large king sized bed, his body visibly relaxed at the new comfort it felt.

My eyes lingered on his neck before tracing the slightly open shirt he was on, without thinking, my fingers found it way to the opening on his chest, i gently opened the buttons on his shirt to last, soon my hands slid into his bare chest and found it ways to his nipple, i squeezed it roughly, enjoying the sensation i got from touching him, all the while i my gaze remained on his face, noticing his stiff body, i knew he was awake, i chuckled at his expression, how cute.

My fingers didn't stop moving around, i grabbed his second nipple and squeezed, with his exposed chest in front of me, my gaze turned more hungry, he was so damn cute, without thinking, i bent down, my tongue traced his chest line, i licked my way to his nipple and Arson Moaned, his moan was a total turn on, his voice coquettish and thick, i raised my eyes and met his still closed eyes, my smile widened, was he still pretending to be asleep.

My hands squeezed his nipple, this time gently, his cheat heaved and seconds later, he opened his eyes and jumped off the bed almost instantly, frantically trying to cover his chest, his face already crimson red and a slight budge on his panties, watching his cute expression, i let out a bumused chuckled, how interesting.

"What do you think you were doing? This is assault...sexual assault!!"

He half screamed at me while pointing his finger at me, i growled internally as i turned to face him, he visibly froze with a shocked expression.
