Please Me Mommy +18 - ON HOLD

The fucker has a nerve, showing his face and worming his way into Raven's business. He did this on purpose, do doubt.

He's trying to destroy us through Raven.

"Love, calm down. You don't want to scare Princesa," Luca placed a gentle hand on my arm. I let out a hot shaky breath, reigniting myself in. Peeling my eyes off of Sandy, I looked at Luca. "We'll deal with this on Monday, okay?" He said. "Whatever he's trying to do with her, he won't succeed,"

"Gentlemen," a voice came from behind me. "What a lovely surprise," I fought the urge to roll my eyes as Bastian sat down in one of the vacant chairs, facing us. "I didn't know you'd be here. My brother didn't tell me," Bastian Saltzman, Hodge's older brother. "Doesn't she look breathtaking?" He said eyeing Raven, who was talking to Darren and someone I didn't know, on stage. "My my, she's a true Goddess, I tell you," he said his eyes hungry for our woman. "No ring on her finger either,"

I balled my hands, silently fuming as he continued to literally devour Raven with his eyes, right before us. Luca's hand tightened around mine, managing to calm me down. "You think she'd be interested in me?" Bastian turned to us with that stupid grin on his face. Studying my face, the grin intensified. "Come on, Shaun. Don't tell me you fucked her," I almost snapped. "I'd hate to break the bro code here. You know. I wouldn't mind a taste of those curves,"

"That's not how you appreciate a woman, Bastian," Luca spoke up, biting back a snarl.

"My apologies," Bastian said with an easy smile. "I suppose a Goddess like her deserves so much more. Isn't that right, Shaun?" He said his eyes cunning. He was taunting me on purpose. The only thing keeping me in my seat was Luca's hold on me. I glared at Bastian.

"Bastian, what are you up to now?" Hodge showed up, eyeing his brother, who was still set on tormenting me.

"Why do you always assume that I'm up to something?" He asked, feigning sadness as he turned to his brother. Hodge gave a knowing look, not falling for his act.

What most people don't know is that Bastian Saltzman is one of the biggest, most feared Mafia in the whole world. He's the leader of the Lucchese Mafia. The third most powerful Mafia. Not too long, he'll be taking second place. Hodge wanted nothing to do with this type of business. He found his own route and stuck with it.

Somehow, knowing Hodge, we've befriended Bastian and throughout our years of friendship, he's done a couple of business favours for Luca and I. That didn't excuse his arrogant behavior. The man was a douchbag. He had a knack for riling up others for his own pleasure.

"Okay fine," I'm pulled out of my own personal turmoil, back into the bickering brothers in front of me. "I was just kidding. Right Shaun?" He turned to me. I paid him no mind, eyeing Darren helping Raven down the steps. They made their way over. "You must admit that she's gorgeous. What men wouldn't want some of that? Plus, she's not married," Bastian said.

"Yeah, I'll let you handle that. Please inform the board members and we'll take it from there," I heard Raven as they got closer.

"Gentlemen," she greeted us, with a big smile. "Everything alright?" She inquired, eyeing Luca and I closely. Before any of us could answer, Bastian stood up.

"Everything's perfect, Miss..." I watched as he took her hand, kissing the back of it.

"Bailey," Raven answered with a smile. "Raven Bailey,"

"My, you are a beauty, Miss Bailey," Bastian complimented.

"Thank you," she said retracting her hand. Just then, Addison came rushing to Raven's side, taking her attention. Leaning in to whisper something in her ear, that made the both of them giggle. "Wait, where?" Raven asked, looking around.
