A/N: y'all want smut in this book? also how'd you like the story so far?
I woke up to knocking on my door so I reluctantly got up from bed, groaning from being interrupted from my sleep. Yawning, I opened the door to be met with;him.
My eyes trailed his body, from his black shoes to his black slacks then to his dark grey dress shirt that fitted him perfectly. The first few buttons undone revealing his silver chain and his sleeves rolled up to his elbows that showed his tatted arms. Veins travelled along his forearms, rings covered his slender fingers, a silver watch wrapped around his wrist. I couldn't help but gawk at him.
My god.
"See something you like?" His voice snapped me back from my staring. I lifted my eyes away from his torso and to his blue eyes that held amusement.
Yes.
"Shut up," I glared at him. "what do you want?"
"Well," He leaned his upper body against the doorframe, crossing his arms above his chest. His eyes looked me up and down, a small smirk plastered across his face. "I'm here to take you somewhere, remember?"
"Now?" I groaned. "Just give me a couple of minutes to change."
He nodded his head before leaning off the doorframe and turning around to walk downstairs. After he left I did my normal morning routine and picked an outfit. I decided to wear a white crop top, black cargo pants, a checkered shirt that I left open along with black and white air jordan 1s. To complete my outfit I put on a plain black hat that I wore backwards along with a few rings on my fingers and a small chain around my neck.
As I walked downstairs, I spotted Xavier talking on the phone with his gaze towards the floor. He was speaking Italian so I didn't understand a word that was coming out of his mouth. His Italian accent came out as he spoke with authority with each word he said.
"Voglio guardie extra in giro mentre lei è qui." He ran his fingers through his black wavy hair. "Se qualcosa va storto, non esiterò a porre fine alla tua patetica vita." He gritted out.
(I want extra guards round the place while she's here.) (if anything goes wrong, I won't hesitate to end your pathetic life.)
I cleared my throat to catch his attention. He lifted his head up, his blue eyes meeting mine once again before they travelled across my figure. He ended the call, putting his phone into his pocket.
"Follow me." He walked outside the house with me following behind him. He lead me towards the garage where loads of different cars were lined up along each side. He picked up some keys from the side of the garage door and walked over towards a black sports car.
"What car is this?" I walked up towards where he was as I looked at the car.
"Bugatti La Voiture Noire." He opened the drivers door, getting in. I got in the car, sitting on the black leather seats. The interior was black with red LED lights travelling along the floor of the car. He started the car, pulling out of the driveway.
"Can you tell me what happened last night now?" I asked after a few minutes of silence. The question had been bugging me all night.
He sighed, running his free hand through his hair while the other was placed on the steering wheel. "One of the bases was attacked." He glanced at me.
"By?" I turned my head towards him feeling my concern grow as I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Don't worry about it darling." He rolled down his window making the wind blow gently against his unkept hair.
"Fine. Does this mean I get to call you nicknames since you do? " I raised an eyebrow. "I was thinking something like Zay." I grinned knowing it will piss him off.
"Call me that and I'll shoot you." He clenched his jaw directing a glare towards me. Okay big man.
"Okay, Zay." I smirked, leaning my head against the seat after I adjusted my hat.
"Sei noioso." He grumbled, glancing at me. He's lucky I don't know any Italian.
(you're annoying)
"What does that mean?" I tilted my head, looking at his godly side profile that I want to punch so bad.
"You're funny." He mumbled as he pulled up into a warehouse, parking his car.
"I find that hard to believe." I unbuckled my seatbelt before getting out the car. He shrugged his shoulders in response before getting out the car and walking towards the gates.
The guards standing by the gates stood up straighter as they noticed me and Xavier approaching them. Xavier had his hands in pockets as he took long dominating strides towards the guards. He had his head held high showing his power and confidence.
He then leaned down to me to whisper in my ear as we stood in front of the gates, his warm minty breath fanned across my skin, "Stay close."
I nodded my head in response doing exactly what he said because I'm not trying to get myself lost.
"Don, everything's in order." The guards opened the gates as Xavier gave him a firm nod in response before walking through.
A large building came into view as I followed him through. Guards were scattered all over the place. There were black SUVs parked along the sides along with black range rovers. Guards walked along the top of the buildings towers with guns in their hands wearing full black suits. Xavier scanned his hands, eyes and face through multiple heavy metal doors to get into the building. There were a few passcodes he had to enter in too.
"Why did you bring me here?" I asked walking beside him, scanning the place as we entered the main room.
"After what I saw in that coffee shop," He turned towards me, "I thought why not bring you here."
We walked through some doors leading to a gun room. All sorts of guns were displayed on the racks beside the shooting range.
"Show me what you've got." Xavier handed me a gun, gesturing towards the shooting range.
I looked at him hesitantly before taking the gun from his hand after he gave me an encouraging nod. He then leaned against the wall beside me, crossing his arms over his chest as he observed me. I aimed the gun towards the target, placing one hand on the handle while the other supported the gun from underneath it. My pointer finger hovered over the trigger as I aimed for the head on one of the targets. After aiming correctly, I pulled the trigger making it land perfectly on the target. Turning back to Xavier I saw the amusement shining in his blue eyes as he looked at the bullet hole.
"Impressive," He praised, putting the gun back on the rack. "lets see how you are with fighting." He walked out the room as I followed curiously behind him. I am not trying to fight someone today.
I followed him into an empty gym where there was a boxing ring in the middle along with weights and punching bags at the sides. I took off my checkered shirt and left it on the side, leaving me in my white crop top and put on the gloves Xavier gave me.
"You won't be going in the ring," Xavier stated as he sat down at a bench near the punching bags, "just the punching bag." He nodded his head toward the punching bag behind me.
"Why am I doing this again?" I raised an eyebrow at him, putting my hands on my hips.
"Think of it as a test." He shrugs, crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned back on the wall behind the bench.
"Fine," I huffed, taking my hat off, "hold this." I put my hat on his head before walking towards the punching bag. From the corner of my eye I could see him pushing his hair back before putting my hat back on his head but this time it was on backwards. Goddamn- shut up.
I positioned my fists in front of my face then punched the bag earning a scoff from beside me.
"Christ." Xavier shook his head whilst looking at me as he ran a hand down his face.
"Show me how to do it then mr I-know-how-to-do-everything." I glared at him, crossing my arms above my chest.
"With pleasure." He got up from his seat, walking towards me. He stopped behind me, wrapping his arms gently around my waist to turn me around so I was facing the punching bag again.He placed his cold hands on top of mine, guiding them in the correct position. I felt his breath on my ear as he whispered, "Like this." His lips lightly brushing against my ear whilst doing so, sending shivers down my spine. Xavier then moved his hands off mine and rested then on my hips instead.
Goosebumps covered my skin as my heart raced from our close proximity. I turned my head to look up at him to find he was already looking at me, staring into my eyes. I let my eyes flicker across his features from my hat on his head to his clean shaven jaw then back to his piercing blue eyes. My lips parted as a soft sigh left them before I bit my bottom lip. I watched his eyes flick down towards my lips as he salivated his before they travelled back to my eyes again.
A light knock on the door interrupted us. Me and Xavier broke apart, clearing our throats as we turned around to see a guard standing at the door.
"Parlare." Xavier demanded, shoving his hands in his pockets.
(speak)
"Scusa se interrompo Don ma noi ho bisogno di te al piano di sotto." The guard spoke.
(sorry to interrupt Don but we need you downstairs)
"Scendo tra un minuto." Xavier sighed as the guard left.
(I'll be down in a minute)
"I'll come back to you," He turned towards me. "just wait here." He took off my hat, ruffling his hair slightly before putting it back on my head. I nodded my head in response so he turned around and left the gym, leaving me alone.
