“Denise, can you send Layla to the lounge, immediately,” I told her and didn’t give her a chance to answer before I’d hung up.

I got up and made my way to the drinks cabinet to pour myself a whiskey, then paced back and forth waiting for her arrival. My dick throbbed, and my heart raced, but I had to stay cool, calm and collected and not lose my fucking balls. I took a sip of the amber liquid, wetting my mouth. Never in my life had a woman gotten to me like this, I was pathetic, and my papa words lingered in my mind.

Don’t ever allow a pussy to take control. Think with your dick and not your heart. A woman feeds on your weaknesses, and you cannot allow that. Use them for your needs, and never give them what they want as otherwise, they will walk all over you.

I furrowed my brows, Papa never talked about Mamma; in fact, I had no idea if she was still alive.

Did I care? Truthfully, no, she just left and walked out of my life without so much as a backwards glance.

I always did, however, like to know her reasons behind leaving my father, why she never took me with her and why she hadn’t been in contact since that day. Either way, those questions wouldn’t ever get answered and looking for her wasn’t what I classed as a priority. I guess due to her leaving me when I was so young, I didn’t have a clue what a mother figure would even feel like.

Did I even care though?

No!

I rolled my tongue over my teeth as I waited, just thinking about a woman I knew nothing about frustrated me to no end. The thing that really pissed me off was I never thought about any woman in that way, but since the arrival of Layla, it appeared that things had taken a different route and changed my opinion. There was a knock at the door that brought me back to reality, I spun around and called the person in. Layla walked in, her eyes instantly found mine and caused my heart to flutter and my cock to pulse.

Fuck, I was sinking deeper into trouble with this one.

She entered the room and closed the door behind her, then stood there with her hands clasped together on her stomach.

“Come here,” I told her.

Debating to put a please in there, but she still had to know who the boss was. She sauntered towards me allowing me to admire her body, only she was still wearing her uniform, and her hair was wrapped in a bun. She stopped just before me with her head held low staring down at my feet.

“How are you settling in?” I asked her in a gentle voice.

What the hell Antonio?

She lifted her head to engage in eye contact with me no doubt in as much shock as I was by what I had just asked.

“Fine and thank you, this is the first time I have been shown some respect.”

Respect for fuck sake, I just wanted to get you under me!

“You’re more than welcome, I’m not all evil you know, but my heart is made of steel. I’ve just been thinking about the situation earlier involving Monica and our little time together in your room. I’m a little curious though, do you know who I am?”

Her eyes widened and she shook her head. It looked like she was petrified at what I had to say next.

“Okay… allow me to tell you a little bit about me.”

Moving to the chair behind me and gestured for her to sit on the one closest to me, I wasn’t going to tell her much but enough to make her aware of the kind of man I was and also my position within the family. She sat down with her knees pressed firmly together, and her hands on her lap.

Fuck, I so wanted to use my hands to part them and slip one of my hands up her leg until I found her pussy.

“I’m a man who doesn’t stand for any shit, the men that you’ve seen here are mine, who take orders from me with no exceptions and that can include torture and death…”

I watched her as she takes this in and noticed that she takes a deep breath and waits for me to continue.

“If someone so much as crosses me, they are as good as dead. I run clubs, and other businesses and have interests in some unsavoury activities which my papa had built from the ground up. One of those interests involves the weapons industry, also I love the taste and smell of blood especially when it's from someone who had double-crossed me. I won’t ever think twice about who I harm or if I’ve had to leave a permanent reminder on their body, I always think the face is the best place for that reminder, so when they look in the mirror… they would always be haunted by me. Any questions?”

There was silence from her, she just shook her head and I carried on.

“Layla, I always, and I mean always get what I want. I certainly don’t ever wait, never have and never will. I’m impatient in more ways than I care to explain right now, am I making myself clear?”

Again, no sounds came from her, just a little shake of her head, her just sitting there like a good girl was driving my dick wild.

“Tell me, this man you were running from… was he ever good to you?”
