Samantha " Tell me, Samantha, do you want it?” Maximo asks. I laugh nervously, “ No,” My voice is shaky. “ Oh come on,” That tattooed arm leaves my thigh and caresses my cheek softly. Maximo pouts and he looks so f*****g cute. For a moment I forget who he really is, a whole f*****g sadistic dragon. I shake my head, I can't trust my words at the moment, there is a high possibility they will betray me. His hand moves to play with the few ombré locks that fell as a carpet to cover my face from his sharp gaze. “ Where is that brave girl that kissed me in the kitchen?” He purrs his lips close to my neck. He takes a deep breath in, drawing my scent like he draws up a smock from his famous cigar. When he breathes out, he growls softly. My cheeks heat up, and I peer to look at Santino, who has the same Stoic expression he normally has. “ Maximo, let the girl go!” Santino glares at his brother, who pauses. Maximo stops his advances and pulls away completely. I breathe out in relief and I look at Santino, who has the tiniest smile tagged on his lips. Oh! So he can smile. Maximo takes out a cigar and blows on the tip, instantly lighting it up. I can't help but stare in awe, he always amazes me with his tricks, while Santino keeps his hidden. My eyes wander for a moment as I stare at the tattoos gracing his huge hand. He is made of muscle, much like his twin, Santino. He leans back in the leather seat and throws his head back, a cigar on his plump lips. The tattoos on his neck have my attention too. I can’t quite make up the shape yet, as I can’t only see bits of it. He is a fine specimen, one I wouldn’t mind having a one-night stand with. I release another breath, staring at him makes me imagine how good it would feel if he f****d me with his hot tongue before he gave me that huge... oh wait it wouldn't ever fit. I close my legs tighter as I feel myself get wet. Maximo lifts his head and those cat-like eyes stare at me with a certain intensity. His nostrils flare before he looks at his brother. I follow his gaze and Santino has a similar look only with him, his face is contorted in what I think is anger. When his sapphire cat-like eyes meet mine, I fidget uncomfortably. He grips the armrest tighter and forces a smile. “ Samantha, clear your thoughts,” He orders through gritted teeth, and I blush hard. How did he know my mind was in the gutter? “ My thoughts are clear!” I quickly defend myself. “ Okay, little liar,” Santino replies, sounding irritated. While Maximo on the other hand only chuckles and his chest moves at the action grabbing my attention once more. “ Where is Diego? I am sick and tired of waiting. I am his f*****g boss, and he dares to make me wait?” Maximo asks, his tone a deeper and sharper. For once, I am thankful he shifted the conversation to something else. He throws the cigar on the table and curses once more. I stand up abruptly, and the men look at me, quirking their eyebrows. " I need to go to the bathroom," “ Samantha, is that you?!” My heart skips a beat. I know that voice. My head turns in that direction and Mark is standing at a distance. He smiles at me and turns to come to me. I look at my captors and Maximo has a huge daring smirk. “ Can I please just talk to my friend?” I plead. “ Tell him anything about us, and he is dead. Make sure you think carefully before doing anything stupid.” Santino warns. “ And don’t leave this lounge,” Maximo adds as he grabs a bottle of wine instead. I stand up quickly and rush to hug Mark. I hear a growl behind me, but I ignore it. He grabs my arm and pulls me along. The whole time I can feel eyes on me. They are burning through my back. “ What are doing with the Ricca’s? Since when did you start hanging out with billionaires?” Mark asks as soon as we are far away from the hearing range. To a human, but I don't know about a dragon. I hope it's not as good as I think it is. “ I… I..” We end up at a booth that’s at the far end of the lounge. “ Is that why you just suddenly disappeared? We looked for you the next day when we realized you didn’t come back. We thought if we were a little patient, you would eventually come back, but you didn't. We kept trying your phone until the manager of the club said they found your phone near the dance floor. The next day we went to the police to file a missing report, they pretended to be busy, but we all know they had dropped the case like nothing was happening and none of has had any way of contacting your brother. We were so worried, I am just happy to know you are okay. But please tell me what's going on?” Mark digs deeper. I want to tell him, but then I remember their warning. I am scared of the two men, they are capable of anything. They can easily kill him and cover the case, like they did with me. They are one of the richest in the world, after all. “ I was involved in a dispute with them and the issue was so big plus my brother was also involved in it, so I had to disappear with them to help my brother, and after I stayed with him for some days to make sure he was okay. I was surprised to find out that my brother is close with the Riccas, and they are actively helping so that we can all clear what is going on,” I lie with a strained smile. “ But why did you leave your phone behind?” He leans closer to me. “ To avoid being traced. My brother is some top CIA kinda agent and his safety is very crucial no wonder I couldn’t risk it.” I lie once more. I keep digging the hole deeper than it needs to be already while the whole time I am hoping what is coming out of my mouth doesn't sound like the bullshit it is. I hope Mark is buying it because, hey, it's not easy to come up with such big lies on the spot. “ Ohhhh... If that's the case then I hope your brother is safe," He says seemingly convinced and I offer a tight smile. He moves closer to me and grabs both of my hands. “ I missed you Sammy and the distance between us made me realize something, that I love you more than just a friend. When the whole thing with your brother passes, I hope you and I can be together.” He says, his green eyes melting my amber eyes. I nod, “ I can’t lie, I have felt the same way too. But I am not sure about us ending up together after it passes because it might be soon and I don’t want to be that girl that will keep you waiting.” I respond truthfully. “ I will wait for you, Samantha. I don’t mind waiting for you.” He says his words melting my heart. My crazy mind asks me where I am placing at least any of the brothers and my other side convinces me that it's only lust, nothing more. With Mark, it's different, I began to crush on him last year. I know well enough that it's love, I feel for him. Besides, he is tall and also cute. What more could a girl ask for? He leans closer to lay his lips on mine when someone clears their throat behind us. We pull away, both laughing nervously. “Are you taking any orders?” A waiter asks, smiling elegantly at most especially me. “ No,” I reply firmly. “ The gentleman insists.” He turns his head, I follow the direction and my eyes land on icy gray. He has that wicked smile on his face that feels like it’s a warning. “ Okay, just some wine, please,” I say, maintaining my gaze on him. He turns to speak to the man who has shown up. I guess that’s the man he talked about. It must be hard working for those two. The waiter leaves and shows up later with a bottle of wine. “ So, where are you staying at the moment? I would love to visit you if it’s possible.” “ For protection’s sake, I am staying with the Riccas, since staying with my brother was putting him more at risk. I am staying with them in one of their big mansions and knowing the Riccas they don’t like visitors.” “ It’s okay, I hope we can keep in touch.” He smiles at me, flashing with one of the familiar smiles that I like. “ Can you help me something tonight? That’s if you don’t already have other important stuff to attend to.” “ You know I can drop everything for you.” I gesture for him to lean forward. “ Help me escape this club without the Riccas noticing. There is something important I need to retrieve from my room.” “ Why do you need to escape if you and them are on good terms?” He raises a brow. I flip my hand, “ Of course we are but this thing is kind of private.” “ I will help me under two conditions.” “ What’s that?” “ I still want to kiss you tonight and promise me that when this thing is over we will end up together and your heart won’t belong to another.”
