Taken By The Mafia Lord

He packed in the lawn and as expected, Leon was out the front door, looking as delicious as ever. Alright, this was not the time to think of frivolous things. He had to concentrate on this job. It was too dangerous.

“You guys stay here, I need to sort out a few things with our host,” Luca told the girl’s parents who had not talked to each other since the journey began. He could sense the tension between the both of them and was glad to escape the drama. Sadly, he escaped a drama, just to fall into another one.

He walked over to Luca and tried not to notice how good he looked. This is all for the mission, he told himself. But Lucas’s heart began to race quickly, guilt gnawing at his chest.

“Hi Leon,” He waved at him.

“And to what do I owe this pleasant visit considering the last time we met, not that we even met, but the message you sent was clear, ‘let’s forget what happened between the both of us’,” Leon said to him with a smile that did not touch his eyes. It was at that moment that Luca realized that he might have hurt him unintentionally.

He shifted uncomfortably on his feet and said, “Please Leon, let’s put our personal issues aside. Perhaps, another time.”

“Oh, is that so?” Leon chuckled, “Fine. This is an official meeting, after all.”

He started, “You must have heard from Marcel then.”

.....

Leon gave him a blank look, “About what?”

Luca frowned, “I don’t understand, didn’t Marcel tell you that I would be sending Mimi and her parents to you for protection?”

“No, nothing at all. But then, why would he? I have already paid off my favor to him by hosting Arianna and keeping her safe at that time. We are not exactly friends, Luca, and for Marcel to send the girl and her parents here means that he’s willing to owe me a favor. ”

He went on to say, looking him in the eyes, “But then, I’m a businessman and you might need to convince me that this is worth it and I won’t regret my decision. I have heard the Luciano family is under attack. You giving me the girl means that Richardo would come at me next, nor is Marcel in a position to grant favors right now.” He smirked shrewdly.

“News sure travels fast,” Luca expelled a shaky breath. He was nervous right now, not that he was showing it. It finally dawned on him why Marcel sent him here. He was the bargaining chip. Sigh, he has no choice.

“What do you want, Leon King?”

“What do you think I want, Luca?” He stepped closer till they were standing face to face. He looked him over with intent and said, “Give me a good deal and I would take on all the trouble.”

“Fine, a night,” Luca said.

But Leon burst into a laughter that gurgled to a halt in the end and he was all serious now, “You’re making it about the sex again, huh? What do you take me as? A customer soliciting a prostitute, is that it? You would give away your body like that, huh?”

Luca swallowed, looking away. He was not yet for the drama. This is why he shouldn’t have let emotions get in the way of his job. What was Marcel even thinking anyway? This was not going to work, anyway.

Leon reached out and clasped his jaw, turning his attention on him while their bodies were touching now, brushing and rubbing against each other.

“You know….” His grip was strong so Luca couldn’t look away, “For someone biased towards me because of my dating history, you ended up playing the games instead. You strung me along -”

“I didn’t string you along.” Luca objected firmly.

“But you used me when you needed to, and dumped me when it didn’t seem convenient for you anymore.”

“I told you, I didn’t want to be distracted while….” Luca trailed off when he realized how harsh that sounded.

But Leon smiled bitterly, “Of course, I was the distraction.”

“No, Leon, listen -”

“I’ll make you a fine deal then since you don’t want to make me one. Then, it’s up to you to take it or you can leave with your company. It’s not worth the trouble.”

“What is it?” Luca was confident it wouldn’t be that bad. Leon was in love with him and would not hurt him.

“We’d date for a month.” Leon decided.

Lucas’s only reaction was a blink of an eye. He already saw that coming. However, Luca was not done.

“During that time, I’ll owe your body…” His finger began to trail down his chest, “Mind and soul. My own personal slave and you would not resist me. During that time, I would make you fall in love with me, it’s a promise, and then at the end of the month, break your heart by dumping you.”

Leon took his hand off him and said, “That’s how I play my games and now you know it. There would be no stringing along since both of us comply with the deal. Thus, I’m living up to my reputation and you know what you’re getting yourself into. So now you tell me, do we have a deal or not? ”

Luca swallowed, he didn’t like the sound of this. However, he looked back at the car and saw Mimi’s parents waiting for his orders. This was also part of his mission, he couldn’t let Marcel. The only way he could save himself now was not to fall deeply in love with Leon else he’s doomed at the end of the month.

“Deal,” He said and Leon King smiled devilishly.
