Checkmate.

Chapter 46- Back to normal.

"I did, but have you seen the other little thing he's got running around here? The ass on that girl is amazing" he chuckles.

"Nothing is little about her, the things I would-"
Having heard enough, I clear my throat causing their heads to turn in my direction.

"B-boss." One of them whispers out while the other visibly shrinks.

"Oh, don't let me interrupt your conversation. Please, continue." I shove my hands in my pocket looking at the two. "What would you do to her?"

"Boss we didn't."

"Answer my question, what would you do to her?" I demand, fist clenched in my pockets.
"You mentioned her ass, would you slap it til it turned red? Or maybe fuck those beautiful tits of hers?" I throw out ideas, daring one of them to answer.

"I- I would fuck her tits boss". The one furthest from me answers. I nod in response before taking a step towards them.

"That was a test, and you just failed." Before he can spew anymore bullshit, I swiftly pull out my gun, hitting him in the back of the head.

He falls to the ground, unconscious. I then turn to the other one, who is now shaking. I bring the barrel of my gun to rest on his chest, specifically over his heart.

"Let me give you a message to relay to the idiot lying on the floor. You are not to talk, look, or even think, of Zaria in that way- ever again. If you see her? You fucking walk the other way." I grit. Pushing him into the wall.

"If I catch either of you even remotely looking at her the wrong way, I will kill you and I won't leave a fucking trace. You will disappear, and nobody will care. and you know I can fucking do it, don't you?" He quickly nods his head.

"Good. Now get your sorry ass out of my house, and take your friend with you." I shove him aside, continuing towards my room. They're lucky I don't shoot them in the eyes.

I slowly twist the door handle open, being careful not to make too much noise. It's well past 1am, and I'm scared of what she will do if I wake her up.

I make my way to the bed, slowly pulling the covers from over her head. Even when sleeping, she was stunning. Her hair was secured in her bonnet, and her hand laid over her face. Her ring on full display.

My fucking girl. Mine.

I slowly dip down into the bed, wrapping my arms around her waist she slightly flinches awake, mumbling in her sleep.

"Don't try anything, I have a boyfriend." She mumbles, attempting to free herself from my arms.

Damn right you do.

"sweetheart, it's me." I plant a kiss behind her ear, and she relaxes into me. She sighs, snuggling her face against my chest. Her scent fills my nose, and my body relaxes as well.

I hold her for a minute as she begins to drifts back to sleep. I pull her further into me. "mi hermosa Ria" I whisper before placing my chin on top of her head.

Translation- My beautiful Ria.

"I like when you talk in Spanish." She mumbles so low that I almost didn't hear her. "Say something else."

"ir a dormir, cariña" I say softly, rubbing her back. This girl will be the death of me.

Translation- Go to sleep, sweetheart.

"Mmm." She lightly groans, shifting in my arms once again before I too find myself drifting off.

THE NEXT DAY
