One Night Stand With The Mafia Boss
Chapter 8

LANDON POV

My cold heart that had only just started to beat again was breaking as I watched the woman who had brought colour into my life again screamed and struggle against me.

I never thought I would ever feel like this. I thought through all the bloodshed I could no longer feel anything for anyone other than those who had been with me from the start. From before I had to watch the life drain from my father’s eyes.

Her innocence, her genuine nature, her big heart and her infectious laugh had made me believe I could be happy. I wasn’t lying when I asked her if she would prefer fiancé, she already had more of my heart than anyone ever had or ever could, even after that first night.

All I wanted to do was protect and dominate her from the start, but somehow even my dominating side calmed down as I actually enjoyed playing around with her.

I never in my right mind thought I would let anyone call me a brat or a dag! I had to google what a dag was. And yes, if someone else called me that I would normally break at least one of their bones or shot them depending on the mood I was in, but from her it was endearing.

When she smacked me on the a*s I was shocked. No woman had ever been so brazen and gotten away with it, but her and the twinkle in her eye when she did it, shook me to the core.

I couldn’t f*****g believe it when Frankie sent his slut of an assistant, Breanna, to bring me the documents I wanted. Yeah I had f****d that a few times, it was ok but I should have f*****g known better than to let her come near me.

Why I even put my hand on her h*p when she went to whisper in my ear I don’t know. f*****g stupid! But I did and then I just glared at her as she made her move. I stood there and let her k**s me, not making a move thinking she would get the f*****g message, not realising Kate was watching it all.

f*****g stupid!

When she finally got the message and looked up into my cold eyes, she backed off and apologised. She tried to beg for my forgiveness. I was then even more stupid and let her waffle on as I had my hand out waiting for her to give me the document back that she had taken out of my hands as she made her move.

I lost so much f*****g time that I nearly didn’t get back in time to stop Kate.

I f*****g really lost it when I finally walked out of the office to find Max there shaking his head. “Kate saw something and ran off boss.”

I turned around and nearly punched the w***e in the nose. I try my hardest not to hit bitches but right now she deserves it. Yes, I shoot them but I make it quick.

“Get me all the security tapes from the office and bring her. I need her alive and able to talk.”

My f*****g perfect plan had gone up in flames. I sprinted out and jumped in the car driving like a lunatic back to the hotel calling Lorenzo on the way. He was off f*****g some slut in the back of a bar and didn’t answer right away, which made me more pissed. “Get back to the hotel now and make sure Kate doesn’t leave”, I barked before hanging up.

I can’t lose her! I don’t care if it has been 4 hours, 4 days or 4 years, she is mine!

I know I don’t deserve happiness for who I am and what I do and here I am dragging her into a dark world, but I don’t care. I will protect her, she doesn’t need to know or see any of that. I can swear everyone to secrecy with their lives and their loved ones lives.

I don’t care who I have to kill or threaten to kill to keep my secret until she can’t leave me, I will!

Now, I was holding her beautiful curvy body, a real body with love handles I can hold, a real body that had me the hardest I have ever been with its every dip and curve. I was holding it down so it didn’t leave me.

I looked up to see Max dragging the w***e in. She had obviously been crying and probably pleading for her life.

“Amore, I need you to stop and listen to what the blonde, as you call her, has to say”, she stops struggling looking at me in shock.

“Yeah she will probably lie through her a*s so she can f**k you again after you think I’ve accepted her stupid story” so gentle most of the time, but with this fun little fierce side that I see and adore when it comes out to play.

She is so pure she probably says a prayer and grieves for the soul of every ant she accidently steps on, yet here she was trying to act like a lioness, f*****g perfect!

“The footage!” I barked without taking my eyes away from hers.

That will clear this s**t up.

Max nods, handing the sobbing w***e to Lorenzo, who looks like he wants to kill her as well.

Lou has been Kate’s biggest fan since he realised her watching us was her doing a tally on how many sluts were trying to have a go at me, although he said he was hurt she didn’t give him a tally. He saw the innocence in her from what she was doing to how she had no problems telling him what she was doing, all the while having no idea who we all were and what danger she had actually put herself in.

“What footage?”

Max quickly brings up the footage and hands me his phone. Thank f**k the security camera was from behind the w***e so you could see my reaction the whole time.

I pressed play and her red watery eyes watched the footage. I couldn’t stop from wiping away every tear as she watched.

She watched as you could see me pull the w***e into the office. Me looking through the documents to make sure they were exactly what I wanted. I then put them back into the envelope before she leans in, whispering in my ear before kissing each cheek then going in for the k**s.

Although the footage was a little grainy, you could see Kate in the background and her face. f**k, I never want to see that look on her face ever again. I almost want to torture the f*****g w***e sobbing behind Kate right now. Make her f*****g pay with her life!

The footage shows me not moving, just glaring down at her as she takes forever to get the f*****g hint. All the while, Kate was now gone. The w***e moves back and starts trying to be seductive to see if that will work. I still glare at her and then you can see her body language as she finally realises and apologises profusely.

Why the f**k didn’t I push her back the first time she tried to touch me!

I finally end the recording and look in Kate’s eyes. She still looks sad. Why?

“Breanna tell her” I ordered as I glare at her, warning her not to lie or she will die.

“Hh… eee.. ne…ever ki…kissed mmee ba..back” she sobs.

“Get her out of my sight” I barked before I take a hold of Kate’s soft face in my hands. “I promise you I don’t share either”. She didn’t look up and just nods.

f**k!

I waited until I heard the door close. “Look at me Amore”. Her eyes finally looked up at me. They are so blue when she has been crying. They are already the most amazing, pure beautiful sky blue, now they are almost an electric blue.

“I only want you! I will only ever want you!”

“What about if I’m not enough?” she whispers.

f*****g how could she not be! Who the f**k made her feel like she could never be enough?! I will f*****g rip out their tongues and shove it up their asses before I skin them alive.

“You are f*****g everything and more! Here read this” I grabbed the document sitting on the couch beside her where Max put it. I moved back enough for her to open it but not enough for her to get up and make a run for it.

She pulls it out and starts reading it with a confused look on her face. “I don’t understand, this is an employment contract with my name on it?”

“Yes, I was going to give it to you after dessert. I will be coming back with you to Melbourne tomorrow. You are to move into the house I have arranged for us while you finish your 4 weeks’ notice at your job. You will then work for me as anything you want Marketing, Manager, Accounting. f**k, you don’t have to work at all but I know you want to. I can have the contract changed to whatever you want, even if you want more money.”

She shook her head. “This has my salary at $500K a year! I don’t even earn $100K a year. This is too much.”

“No, a real woman like you doesn’t take money for free and you will need money for the lifestyle I will give you, the lifestyle you deserve. No more Kmart jeans although your a*s does look hot in them.” She chuckles and it is the best f*****g sound. “And I know I will have to force you to ever use my credit card” she chuckles again and nods her head. I knew it, too f*****g genuine!

“Look, I really like you. We have had a great time but this is a lot for after 4 days!” she looks at me confused.

“I’ve had a taste and I’m not letting you go! Ever! Which means you need to be able to travel with me and to do that you need to work for me.” And I mean it, she is mine, so she is not leaving my side!

I have never been so f*****g sure of anything in my life. She is the rare red diamond in the sea of fakes. She is the one in a trillion and I’m not stupid enough to let her slip through my fingers. “Read through it later and tell me what changes you want, but first we need to get your necklace back on.”

She doesn’t get up, still staring at the contract. “Seriously, you haven’t even known me a week. You don’t really know me. You have only seen a small part that isn’t the normal boring sit at home, tired, not wanting to leave the house or the bath, me. The slob who really can’t be bothered to do the dishes for a couple of days.”

“I don’t do that s**t either, we have maids to do that. Come or I will carry you again” she smiles, but it doesn’t yet reach her eyes as she lets me pull her up and walk her to the bedroom.

I grab the necklace that has more significance than what she realises yet and put it back on her. Anyone who sees this necklace will know she is mine. Everyone will know to give her respect and stay the f**k away unless they want to die.

She looks at the necklace. “I just realised the rose is like the one on your back”. I was actually surprised she didn’t notice that when I first gave it to her.

“Yes it is Amore”, pulled her in and held her tight.

She is mine, all mine!

I k**s the top of her head as my f*****g phone goes off again. It hasn’t stopped but she is more important. I have to fix this before I deal with the s**t show I have been dealing with for the last few days.

I came to Australia as we knew we had some moles and we had to sniff them out ourselves. Turns out the issues were bigger than we thought.

I hated leaving her in my bed and not waking her up by taking her like the first morning, but I had to. I had to show no one f****d with me.

I let my men take over some of the torture as I didn’t want any b***d or injuries that would make Kate question anything. Normally, I don’t let anyone take the pleasure of causing the scum pain. I was surprised that I enjoyed being able to watch them more closely in the eyes as they screamed. It ended up working well.

“Now let’s go sit down, I will order some dessert and have someone come and unpack for you again” I kissed her softly, not going too hard as I know I needed to gain some trust again.

She just nodded and let me lead her back to the living room where I grabbed my phone and saw all the missed calls from Leo and a few of his men.

I was about to call them back when the doors burst open.

KATE POV

I sat on the couch with my head still going a million miles an hour. It had only been 4 days, but an amazing 4 days.

He wants me to properly move in with him and work with him so that I am always with him after 4 days!

Sure, I really like him, but I don’t really know him, like he doesn’t really know me. I actually only know his first name! That is it!

This is absolutely crazy!

He made sure the very expensive necklace was back on and we walked back to the living room. I don’t know if I can eat right now, but I will let him order me something with lots of chocolate.

Actually, I can always eat chocolate. Who am I kidding?

But it is all too much!

I was still in my head when the front doors suddenly burst open with 2 men practically dragging someone between them and a number of others behind them.

No one could miss the massive b***d stain on the shirt and pants of the man being dragged. He seemed to be bleeding from just below his shoulder and upper left thigh.

“WHAT THE f**k HAPPENED?” Landon yelled as he ran to them.

“If you answered your phone we would have told you we were ambushed,” the one in the middle g*****d. I realised he looked a lot like Landon as he looked up. The same eyes and facial features except for his nose and hair were different.

“Bring him into the office.”

I went into autopilot and ran into the kitchenette that’s hidden behind sliding doors, grabbing some tea towels and looking for the first aid kit. I couldn’t find one so I just grabbed the tea towels before I ran back to the office.

They had cleared off the desk and lay the man down. I threw some tea towels at one of the guards next to the man’s thigh that was bleeding. “Put pressure on the wound. Landon, I couldn’t find the first aid kit.”

They were all talking in Italian now but I didn’t care as I pushed the other guard near the guy’s upper chest wound out of the way. “Sorry this is going to hurt”, I said before slowly putting pressure on it. The man hissed, mumbling in Italian.

Another guard ran back in with what looked more like a full medical kit. Landon must have told him where to find it.

Landon grabbed it off him, opening it up and pulling out everything he needed.

“Amore, we need to cut his shirt off and see if the bullet went through. Try and keep the pressure on it and get ready for if it has gone through”, Landon instructed, as he was going through the first aid kit.

The bleeding man looked shocked as he looked between Landon and I before he started laughing. Although he stopped quickly as the jerking of the laughter must have aggravated this wounds, “f**k! So it’s true, my brother has finally… Ow f**k!”

I looked up at Landon who was cutting the shirt away. I knew he just nicked his brother or something to shut him up.

“And I’m guessing your Leo?”

He raised his eyebrow “You’ve heard of me?”

“Just that you’re a pain in your brother’s a*s”, Landon chuckled, while Leo gave him a mock glare. “I’m only joking. I’m Kate. Tell me if I’m hurting you”, he nodded, as Landon had finished removing his shirt and pants, leaving him just in his boxers.

“OK, move around here while still keeping the pressure. I need to roll him and check for an exit wound”. I nodded and moved around Leo’s head as Landon and Lorenzo rolled Leo a bit and inspected underneath his shoulder “Clean through, good. Here” he handed me another tea towel which I used to put on the exit wound in his back. He then went around and did the same with his thigh.

“The f*****g bullet is still in there, we’ll have to dig it out. Lou!”

“On it! Here drink this”. I lifted Leo up a little so he could have a good swig of the alcohol, tequila I think, before shoving a clean tea towel in his mouth.

“Bite down” I instructed, as he lay back down with a jacket under his head.

Leo nodded and the instant he did he let out a muffled scream. Landon didn’t even give him a second before his large fingers were in the wound fishing for the bullet. I could at least see that he had wiped it down as there were bloody disinfectant wipes beside him.

“Look at me Leo. I’m right here. Try and concentrate on something else, anything else like your brother’s annoying bossiness”. His eyes that are full of pain stare at me as I try and distract him. He tried to give a small laugh at least, at my comment, as Landon scoffed.

“Was he this bad even as a child?” he nodded as he bit down on the tea towel.

Thankfully, it didn’t take Landon long to pull the bullet out. He put it on the bloody wipes before wiping the wound down again. The guard beside him had already threaded a needle which he then handed Landon.

It all seemed very well versed, like they had all done this a thousand times… or more!
