Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire 24. He Means Nothing.
Luca's Pov The Viper.The fucking Viper. I'd gone in blind. I couldn't even remember what the casino was called now. I'd gotten intel that Fred Hawkins was going to be there from a rightfully terrified neighbour of his and I made my move. I tried to recall if there were any distinct markings on the men I'd killed trying to get to Fred. The Japanese mafia were known for their unique tattoos usually on their arms, neck or face. But I hadn't taken note of them. I could vaguely remember a tattoo on one of them who'd come at me with a gun but I couldn't be sure. This was madness. The Boss had every right to be furious with me. I operated like a rookie. Worse than a rookie. I didn't get enough intel before movement, I put no thought into my actions and the consequences, I made no plan beforehand and I took no notice of my surroundings while the action was taking place. I was careless. Erratic. All because of him. To protect him. To fight for him. And now, I had a mess to c
Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire 23. A Cheery Fellow.
Alex's Pov “Happy to meet you too Ryan.” Isabelle said with a friendly smile. “Sorry to barge in on your date.” He said with an apologetic shrug to me. “Oh, it's not.” Isabelle laughed as I said at the same time, “She's a friend.” “Oh cool. In that case,” Ryan dropped himself into the seat beside Isabelle much to her surprise and my annoyance. “May I join you two?” He asked with a wink at Isabelle. What was the point of asking when he already took a seat for himself? But something in his tone must have sounded right because Isabelle giggled shyly. “We were...um, having a very serious conversation so,” She shrugged, looking a little…disappointed? “Ooh. Secrets being spilled eh?” Ryan winked at me this time as he laughed. I couldn't put my finger on what it was. Maybe the wink? Maybe the way he looked so carefree and obviously attracted to Isabelle? But the way he'd said it flicked an alarm button in my head. Secrets being spilled. Whatever story I came up with would st
Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire 22. Are You In Trouble?
Alex's Pov “I'm sorry. I…”“Do you know how worried I was? Do you know I could barely get any sleep? Do you have any idea how frightened you made me?!” Each sentence was punctuated by a flick of the napkin to my chest and my shoulder and my head. I ducked from her onslaught, laughing in spite of myself. “Do you think this is funny?!” She yelled, taking a swipe at me with the napkin again but I dodged and she missed. “It's not, it's not. I'm sorry.” I said, trying to contain my laughter. “You're gonna need to come up with something better than sorry you asshat.” She growled, wagging a finger at me. “But I really am.” “I don't care. I need an explanation.” She swatted me with the napkin again, the hit landing on my right shoulder. It was funny how she fussed over me. Especially considering the fact that I was older. By only a year but it always seemed like she was older than me by miles. Actually she was that way with everyone. Isabelle had a natural leader energy that
Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire 21. You're Going To Need It.
Alex's Pov Shopping turned out to be a more quiet affair than I thought it'd be. Elias and I had struck a rapport two days ago and I tried to rekindle that but he seemed a lot more quiet than usual. He treated the whole day like it was an assignment he needed to get over with as quickly as possible. For him, it kind of was, I guess. Didn't make me feel any better about it though. The only time he seemed to perk up a little was when I tried on a pair of dark jeans and a deep grey sweatshirt. He'd smiled with approval and insisted I wear that for the rest of the day. Other than that, he was uncharacteristically quiet. Broody. He made me sit at the back of the car. Like I was being chauffeured. A prisoner being transported felt more accurate. By late morning, shopping was over. As he drove me back to the penthouse, I forced myself to ask a question that had been on my mind since I woke up. “Elias?” I called, leaning forward. He raised a brow in acknowledgement of his n
Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire 20. Special.
Alex's Pov By the time I yawned awake, the sun was high in the sky. I rolled lazily to my side, my muscles still a little sore from the previous day. I'd managed to tangle myself amongst the sheets with all my tossing and turning and feeling too lazy and overly comfortable, I dragged the covers with me as I got up. The room was empty. I had known it would be. It seemed Luca barely slept here. Shame to waste such a luxurious apartment but I was almost certain he had others he stayed in. I took in the room for the first time. I'd been too wrapped up in my earlier fear and misery to take much notice of anything these past days. And I'd only been in the bedroom and adjoining kitchen. My eyes caught sight of a brown envelope sitting on the drawer. It was similar to the one that had held my contract. With a little hesitation, I opened it. It was another contract alright. A revised contract. I read through the contents, my heartbeat quickening with trepidation but by the time I
Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire 19. This Mess You Made.
Luca's PovI could feel the tension shift in the room. Almost like a hush fell on everything breathing and not. The Viper was not a name to be messed with in the mafia world. Everyone knew this whether affiliated with the mafia or not. Ken Kaori, a one time most wanted assassin, head of the Japanese mafia, drug lord and head of a global trafficking ring. Also known as The Viper. I never knew he and Vincent were on a first name basis. I knew everything about the Moreau mob syndicate. Everything but this tiny bit of information. Vincent was watching me closely. If there was one person on the planet that knew me better than Elias, it was him. “The Viper called you?” I asked, making sure to keep my voice cool, calm and devoid of worry. “Yes. As it turns out those kills at the casino meant something to him.” Vincent downed the last of his drink. “I didn't know Fred Hawkins was involved with the Japanese mafia.” I said, level headed again. “Who? Oh, him? Nah, he was a nobod
