MasukI wish my first time at the Luca Mansion was under different circumstances. It reminds me of the cottage doll house I would play with as a kid, except this place is quadruple the size. Long Island has some beautiful architecture.We walk along the cobbled pathway. The door leads us to their lobby where Mr. Schiavon is sitting at the bottom of the stairs, hands through his long hair. He examines each one of our blooded faces and bruised bodies."You guys really had to fight, didn't you."They nod, but I keep my head down."How about you clean up, then we will talk.""Sounds good." Liam responds.Mr. Luca walks up the stairs while I admire the decorations around the place. The rustic feel is one I've never experienced before.I follow them up the stairs to the bathroom.Valen turns left, but joins us a minute later. He has a black t-shirt in his hands.I sit down on the rim of the bathtub. Nathaniel gets out a couple rags and bandaids. The silence as he ruffles through the cabinets i
"Are you guys okay?" Kilian asks."For the most part yeah. That was a gang that does kidnappings and hits. We almost hired them once.""So who would hire them to hit us..." Kilian thinks aloud."No clue. We have an alive guy we are gonna get to talk.""Alright I'll leave you to that then. We are gonna look for this bitch.""Cya." Liam says as he hangs up his phone.I see Leon exit the elevator."What the fuck.." He echos across the garage."Bruno, Leon , get this guy in the back of their van. Look around for any information in it too."They both walk over to the unconscious dude."Come here Nara. I'll explain."Him, Nathaniel , and I walk over to the black SUV parked a couple cars away. He opens the door for me, and I hesitantly get in.Nathaniel sits in the passenger seat. He gets a thing of wet wipes out of the glove box and hands one to Liam, who is in the back with me."Why are we in here?" I ask."Cause we need you to feel secure." Liam says.They both look at each other before t
Today we are going to visit Kilian. Liam and I are going to fill him in about dinner last night.Dinner last night... It was amazing.Liam showed up to the threatening men, and they were twice his age. He wasn't scared though. He isn't a pushover. Best part is, he did it all for me. I don't know how to thank him.The thing that stood out even more from last night though was Javier. Maybe one of the sexiest men I've ever met right next to Liam.He just had an exotic look to him. His face reminded me a bit of a lion.I met Liam by the elevator to our building. His hair is still a little damp from the shower. Nathaniel comes down with him, and the three of us start walking to his car."I love how it echos in parking garages." I say."Echos?" Liam chuckles."Yeah! It's eerie how everything is so silent. All you can hear is the cars and footsteps."We get to the parking garage. It is practically empty because everyone has gone to work already."I guess you're right. I've never actually t
That smile will forever make me weak.We finally get to the warehouse. I need to check up on everything that happened this past week while I was gone.Xavier comes to greet me out front. He runs the warehouse when we aren't around."My man!" He says, holding out his hand."What's good Xavier." I say as I pull him in for a one-armed hug.We start to walk into the warehouse."Not much but what about you Liam?!"He emphasized that weirdly."What?" I ask."You and the Serbian bitch. I know I didn't imagine that yesterday."That shouldn't have made me as mad as it did."Don't call her a bitch." I order him."Sorry... but y'all's tension couldn't even be cut with a machete.""Don't know what you're talking about."He smirk, "So you're saying you didn't drag her home to hit?"I wish I had."No. We are friends. Professional friends.""Alright tough guy!" He says patting my shoulder, "I told Yazmin to fill you in. I got shit to take care of."Why haven't I fired Yazmin yet."Can anyone do it b
~Liam's POV~I woke up thinking about her.I can't get her out of my head. I thought the Italy trip would take care of it, but every night I found myself up lost in thoughts about her.I keep thinking back to the moment in the gym.Her white hair was in the way of her gorgeous face. I watched her nipples harden so quickly.God I wish that sports bra wasn't blocking my view. I got to finally touch her beautiful light skin when I grabbed onto her thighs.I hope she wasn't scared of it. I know her body reacted with pleasure, but I have no way of knowing what was in that mind of hers.She doesn't deserve to be stuck with a monster like me.I get out of bed and head to the gym. I need to blast some music so she doesn't wrack my thoughts again.I find myself looking at the bench where I sat with her. I haven't seen her since then. She's still asleep. It's cute how angry she gets in the mornings. I had to stop myself from peaking into her room and looking at her peaceful slumber.Nara is dr
I roll my eyes, "Don't bruise my face."I square up to him."No promises."I block his first hit, but then he lands one on my shoulder. It hurts more than usual. I only land one hit before he has me on my ass with three quick punches."Get up."I groan, "You already beat me!""Best of three."He holds out his hand and quickly helps me up.When we start the second round, I fake him out with a couple punches and land a kick to his waist like Nathaniel taught me. He's a little surprised."You've been training, haven't you?"I nod.He once again surprises me by kicking my shoulder. I fall back into the ropes. I didn't even think he could get his leg that high, and I think it might go higher.When I recover, he once again does a bunch of quick jabs and trips me up. He's already won, yet he still wants to do one more. I don't appreciate this fucked up pity.This time I focus on defense blocking all of the throws. I can't put a pin on his style of fighting.It's fast like martial arts, but i
