EDITH TINAYE CHAWASEMA

The sound of my office phone ringing pulled me out of my trance. Can't a girl get some rest around here?I sighed frustratedly and picked it up, waiting for the person at the other end to speak.

'Miss Chawasema?',

'Yes?'

'Someone is here to see you',

I pinched the bridge of my nose and readjusted my spectacles. Damn Lolo for going on a vacation.

'Mollen I told you to cancel all my appointments for today. '

'I did ma'am . He didn't make one but he is insisting. '

'Then send him away.' Instead of Mollen's voice responding,a male voice replied.

'Miss Chawasema.' God. It was a rough ,deep voice that spread over me, leaving goosebumps in it's wake. I cleared my throat and composing myself said ,

'Yes?',

'I won't take much of your time'.

JESUS. This was a voice made of sin.

'I'm sorry sir but I'm not seeing any clients today. Please come back on Monday,I will be sure to see you then.'

I heard him sigh on the other end.

'I'm afraid l do not have that much time on my hands. I need to see you now'.His voice had gotten firmer and commanding.

'Im sure l can refer you to one of our good lawyers. They are sure to help. '

'I don't want them. I want you. 'His words were not meant to be anything but a professional statement that he preferred my services,but poor horny me felt his words vibrate in my belly, leaving a pool of unwanted heat. I cleared my throat. AGAIN. I couldn't get a reputation that l turned away clients now could l?Besides,l was curious to see the face behind that baritone voice. So , instead of sending him away like l had planned to,I said

'Could you please give Mollen the phone?',. After a moment Mollen came back on the line.

'Yes?'

'Molllen, could you please escort the client to my office.'

'Sure thing ma'am'.

'Thank you'. I replaced the phone . I fixed myself to be presentable and waited for the knock. When it came, I replied with my business tone , telling the person to come in. The door opened and Mollen appeared first then she moved aside to let in the most gorgeous species of men my eyes had ever set sight on. There were three of them.One was wearing denim black jeans ,white sneakers and a black shirt, short sleeved, with the top three buttons undone. He was tanned such that he appeared brown. He was at least 5'9 ,with a lean build. And he was on his phone. Rude. The second guy was wearing a blue tracksuit with white sneakers. He was much like the first guy, except he was paler in complexion. And the third guy.Mother Mary. I literally stopped breathing when l loooked at him. He was at least a head taller than the other two and more bigger and buffier. The navy blue suit he was wearing almost could pass as his second skin with the way it fitted his person. And he wasn't smiling. Great. Nothing l hated more than dealing with aggravated clients. Seeing as l was the only one with a runaway mind,l pulled my business look on and seeing how tall they were,remained seated. I hated standing with tall people,they always made me feel so small and l was already short.

'Greetings. How may l help you?',The tracksuit guy spoke up first.

'Listen ,we need your services like now. Out brother is in jail and we want him out. 'I just continued to look at him. What happened to manners vele?Like just a simple ,hello how are you?

'Did you just hear what l said?Don't just sit there starring. You need to get to work now. 'He was glarring at me now. I sat back and leaned on my chair, totally unruffled.

'Listen Mr..',I let my sentence trail off so he could finish it.

'Abate',he said,his eyes sending daggers at me.

'Mr Abate,you came to my office on a day that l wasn't receiving clients. Then you tell me you want,no need ,my services. After I ever so kindly make an exception and admit you into my office, without so much as a greeting,you start making demands. I do not tolerate bullshit from anyone. Now if you don't mind,see yourself out the door. I'm sure there are other firms that can tolerate your attitude. 'He clenched his jaw and was about to say something when the suit guy touched his arm and gave him a look. He huffed and trodded out of the office. Good riddance. Suit guy turned to me and extended his hand. It was a large hand . Very manly and had a thumb ring.

'My apologies Miss Chawasema. Forgive my brothers. It's nice to make your acquaintance. 'Aaaah l see. The owner of the voice. His physicue surely fit his voice. I extended my hand to shake his. Mother Mary. My eyes widened in shock as soon as our hands touch. My small hand was swallowed by his large one and God,did it feel good. I glanced up to see a surprise reaction on his face too. Pulling my hand away,I cleared my throat and gestured for him to take a seat. He looked back and took the phone from the denim guy. Denim guy rolled his eyes and sat down,suit guy following suit.

'Nice to meet you. How may l help you?',

'Please allow me to introduce ourselves. My name is Killian. These are my younger brothers, Rafael,the one outside,Alessio is the one sitting beside me and we have another brother,Roberto. He is the one in prison and he is the one who needs your help'. Four brothers. Guess the reason he had an alpha aura was because he was the oldest.

'I hope I will be able to help. What are we dealing with?', Alessio took a cigarette out of his denim and put it in his mouth. I raised my eyebrow at him and he rolled his eyes, standing up to go outside. Rude bastard.

'Mr Alessio be advised no smoking is allowed inside the building. '

'I was going to go the fuck outside ',and banged my door on his way out. I had a half mind to throw them all out of my office by now. Killian must have noticed the annoyance on my face because he quickly said,

'Please bear with my brothers. They are all on edge you see. Things are rather topsy turvy right now. ' I sighed and looked back at him, our eyes meeting. My heart hammered against my chest. He had small eyes and they were black. Ink black such that they reflected purple and blue at intervals.They looked queer and a little haunting. Great. To add to his height ,the guy had intimidating eyes. I hated being intimated. Refusing to pull my eyes away,l said,

'What is your brother chammed for?', he sighed , rubbing his well shaven chin and leaned forward, clasping his hands in front of him,in a prayer like posture.

'Murder ,arms dealing,theft and possession of illegal drugs. 'My eyes widened as he listed off the crimes . Hy Grail. The brother was in deep shit. Were they gangsters or something?.

'Umm. Okay. How much evidence are we looking at?',

'Lets talk being caught red handed. ' Fuck. There was no getting out of this. I could feel my brain spirelling , trying to find a way out.

'So what exactly do you want me to do Mr Abate?. I can't perform miracles. If he was caught red handed then there is little anyone can do to help him. He is going down for a long time. 'He stood up frustratedly. He paced about my office for a while before he faced me again.

'They told me you are the best. What l need you to do is get him a light sentence. As light as you can get it. Money is not a problem. I will give you as much as you want. Can you manage that?', I looked at this gorgeous man in front of him. Did he think l was some angel that could make miracles fall from heaven?But what the hell?. If l crack this one,it would be good for me and the firm. Plus the family looked rich. I could milk them . It would be payaback for their rudeness.

'Mr Abate,what you really need me to do is in but l will do my best. Can you take that?', He looked at me unblinking,those black eyes fixated on me as if looking for answers. I felt my air supply being cut off and a heat pool in my lower belly. Jesus. Just a look and I'm aroused? I need to get laid. My hormones are probably on a rampage.

'I will take it Miss Chawasema,' and the way he said made me feel as if l had just signed a deal with the devil.

KILLIAN ETTORE ABATE

She was a beautiful woman. Enchanting. Daring. Dangerous. Dangerous in the sense that with one look ,she got my cock raging. By the time l had taken a seat in her office,l had already been as hard as concrete and my hard in kept on growing when she showed me her feisty side with that sweet voice. An angel in armour. She was on the thick side with a heaving bossom that l had found calling my attention quite a number of times . Her face was round with small ears ,a cute little nose , little ears and small teeth. Really almost everything about her face was small. Not counting those round big eyes that were so mesmerizing l couldn't look away. They looked almost golden ,with a ring of blue around them. And her skin. Fuck. I had an urge to lick it. Everything about her was screaming,fuck me and l had no desire to deny her. If it hadn't for the fact that l needed her brains ,l would have hit on her but l couldn't ruin the only chance we might have in helping Rob. I passed two cars as l overtook them ,slow motherfuckers. Rafael was still sulking because of earlier.

'Stop sulking . It's not cute. ' . He huffed.

'I'm not sulking. She insulted me. 'I rolled my eyes.

'You finally found someone to tell you off about your childish behavior and you say she insulted you. 'He looked at me ,mouth open.

'Killian come on man. Me ? Childish?. Dude. 'He leaned back',Guess I'm just used to people running around like headless chickens when they see us and she was just calmly sitting there. She didn't even get up to greet us. ' We both chuckled.

'I don't really see what's so funny about that. If we were back home..?',Alessio said from the backseat and I cut him off.

'We are not home . '

'So what did she say?Will she get Berto out or what?',

'Getting Roberto out will be fucking impossible. '. Rafael slumped in his seat and then moved to hit the dashboard angrily.

'Fuck. So what now?',

'She is gonna get him a lighter sentence.

'Can't we bust him out or something?', l understood his frustrations well. We had always been tight even as kids .

'We can . But then he will have to spend his whole life on the run from the law . I don't want that for him '. None of us said anything after that,each lost in his thoughts.

It had been two days since my visit to the lawyer's office and there was still no word from her. I was getting frustrated. I was never a man of much patience. It took every restraint in my body not to call her and demand answers. Right now l was planning to go meet with the officer in charge where Roberto was being held before the trial. If l gave him some money l was hoping he would make Rob's time there a little bit of pleasant.

My phone rang in my office and before l could get to it ,it had left a missed call. It was a new number. I frowned, wondering who would possibly want to call me . I called back and it was picked on the third ring.

'Mr Abate. 'Her voice rang over the phone, igniting an instant response from my cock. Ah. It was my little angel. I smiled.

'Miss Chawasema'. Her voice was clipped and cool . Professional.

'I went and talked to your brother yesterday . Quite frankly,the state doesn't have that much evidence in him. ' My heart skipped a beat, hope flickering.

'Does that mean..?', she cut me off.

'That we can get him out? I don't know. I called to ask if you wanted him out on bail'. I paced around the room.

'But my lawyer said bail was out of the question. I ..', she cut me off again

'Mr Abate,I'm not whosoever you are talking about . You hired me and I'm trying to do my job. Now answer my question'. Feisty. I felt my cock twitch.She had no idea who she was talking to . If only if she knew many had died for talking to me like that. But l will let it slide since she had to get Rob out.

'If you please. '. I said gently.

'Great. I will file for a court session. You did say money is not a problem right? It's gonna be a hefty sum. '. I smiled.

'Don't worry about the money. ' And the line went dead just like that. I looked at my phone chuckling. Alessio strode in chewing an apple.

'What's got you chuckling on your own?,' he asked in between a bite.

'I had a call from the new lawyer. ' He plopped on my black couch and spread his long ass legs.

'So what? She agreed to be your booth call or something?', l gave him a pointed look.

'She wanted to ask if we wanted Rob out on bail.'

'Fuck yeah we do', he said, his face lighting up. Rafael must have heard our conversation because he walked in saying,

'Wait. I thought Chilufya said bail was out of the question. What changed?',I gave him a side smile.

'Apparently she is called the best for a reason. '.

KILLIAN ETTORE ABATE

There were only four other people apart from my brothers and my little angel and the PD. I didn't know who they were . Little angel was dressed in a black dress that reached her knees. It was just simple yet she made it look like a million bucks. She had a black suit jacket and on her feet she had black sexy killer heels that were too high. If she fell with those on,it would be fatal. I frowned. Did she have to wear such long heels?.Maybe it was to compensate for her height. Angel was too short . It was cute. She had on astoic expression and the whole time she was shifting through the papers on her desk . I looked up to see my brother being led in ,chains on his hands and feet with that dreadful prison uniform on. My heart squezed and l heard Allesio and Rafael's sharp intake of breadth when Robert walked in. He faced us and smiled. He didn't even look sad.

'All stand,' the officer shouted as the judge walked in. He had been newly sworn in and was one of the few bastards who actually gave a shit about justice. I had done a background search to see if there was anything l could hold against him but the bastard was squiky clean. That been said, he wasn't on my payroll.He made his way to the judge box and sat down. He was a burly man probably in his late fifties . We all sat down and he spoke ,

'I don't have much time . Make it quick.'

Angel stepped forward and said,

'Your Honor,we request that the defendant be released on bail pending trial. He has strong ties to the community,a stable residence and a job. He is also not on flight risk. And allow me please to point out that he is an alleged first time offender. '. The prosecutor guy stood up and made his way forward . I just wanted to shoot him right there and then .

' Your Honor,we object to trial. The defendant is accused of serious crimes including murder ,arms dealing and possession of drugs. They pose as a danger to society and he has means to flee the state if released. . I itched to just pull out my gun. He was gonna meet a mysterious accident soon. Angel took a step forward. The level of confidence she was exhibiting was just sexy and l felt the stirs of arousal. The judge spoke up.

'What assurances can the defense provide the court to ascertain that the accused will appear for trial and not engage in further criminal activities?'

'My client is willing to surrender his passport, submit to regular check-up with the law enforcement,reside with a designated guardian and wear an electronic monitoring device to ensure their presence at trial. ' That list was all bull. If  Robert wanted out of the country, he would be out of the country. It didn't matter what she was saying but let's just let them believe what they wanted ey? So long as my brother got home.

' Your Honor,these assurances are insufficient given the severity of the crimes . '

'After careful consideration, the defendant's request for bail will be granted considering that you follow through with your assurances counsel?', Angel stepped forward just slightly.

'Yes your Honor. '

'Bail is set at 2 .7 million, ' and he hit down his harmer or whatever the hell they call it. We all stood up as the judge made his way out. Angel smirked at the prosecutor guy and he only laughed as he walked over to her . Weird. Weren't they supposed to be enemies?I frowned. They talked for some time before he  patted her on the arm , gave a nod and walked away. Angel picked up her papers ,stashed them neatly in a manila file and walked over to me.

'You can go get your brother as we wait for trial. ' I chuckled. She was the one who had it out with my brother for not greeting her and here she was.Talk about hypocrisy. I chuckled. Up close she was stunning and that dress was making my body heat up . Fuck. I extended my hand , desperate for any form  of physical contact. I just wanted to touch some part of her and not in a handshake. She accepted the handshake and her skin was softer than l remembered. I nearly closed my eyes to engrave the feeling to memory. This is bad . Really bad. She wasn't wearing any makeup. Her brown skin shining with a natural glow that was rare to find these days. She had changed her hairstyle from our previous meeting and the current new one fitted her just right. It was a bob of some sorts with lines snaking on her head . Oh well , hairstyles had never been my forte.

'Thank you Miss Chawasema'. I had ,of course, done my research on her. Edith Tinaye Chawasema. Third born in a family of three children , two girls and one boy. Father deceased and mother still alive back in her native country, Zimbabwe.Brother was a surgical doctor and sister was an agronomist. Other than her immediate family and another cousin named Kelly , she had no other family member she had been in touch with. Why she was out here in Italy whilst her family was back in her country was still a mystery to me. She had graduated at Eden University in Zambia at a young age of 21. She worked at Chilufya and Sons for six years before she moved to Italy with her friend. She worked three years at – Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC before she started her own firm with her best friend which was beginning to make a name for itself among the social elites of the country. And she was single. No record of any boyfriend or ex husband. That was the best part in the file on her which was currently sitting on my desk.

' Thanks a bunch love. I gotta say,you look sexy in your prime,,' Rafael said. She blinked for a minute before she laughed. What a lovely sound . I wanted to hear it again and again and again and again.

'Ugh, thanks . I guess'. Then Alessio jumped forward to hug her. She froze for a moment before she started squirming . I could see she was uncomfortable so l pulled him off . He gave her a dazzling smile. Was he trying to charm her? Back off fuck  boy.

'How about l take you out for dinner? As a thank you of course. ' Thank you my foot. He just wanted in her pants. Any sane man would. She straightened her dress , her professional look back on.

' No thank you. All the thanks l need are my fees paid up as agreed. Good day gentleman. I will be in touch ', and with a nod she walked away. We all stared after her. Rafael was the first to speak.

'I like her. 'And Alessio said

'She is hot. ' I laughed.

'You hated her the last time we met her.'

'Hate is a strong word brother.' Rafael said patting my shoulder. I shook my head and glanced at where the officers where unchaining Roberto. My brother was coming home . At least he wouldn't sleep in the cells till after the trial . We all walked towards him , ready to bring him home.

. . . .

'Delroit.'. He glanced at me and looked back down at the floor . He was visibly terrified. I sighed .

' Why do you look like I'm going kill you? I just need you to do something.' He relaxed a bit and said,

' Yes of course Mr Abate. What can l do for you? '. Delroit was the chief of police and was ,of course ,under my payroll. He was a small man with a mustache and an appetite for younger girls and cocaine. Which gave me the leverage l needed over him . And money of course. These so called law enforcers were nothing but money hungry ingrates and l took that to the fullest of advantages.

'So here is what you are gonna do. When the court contacts you and tells you to send the policia to keep an eye on Berto you aren't gonna do a thing. I will station my own people outside with your uniform on. Any paperwork that needs your signature regarding Berto's monitoring will go to the court with nothing but praises on his good behavior. Capisce?',

'Y-yes . I understand.'. I gestured for him to go and he all but fled out . Idiota. I stood up made my way to the basement. Now for the part where l had to be 'Diavolo' as people liked to call me. I wasn't the devil. I was just a man who did what he had to do in order to get what needed to be done ,done. Simple as that. Get in my way and of course l get rid of you. I don't like obstacles. No one does. But when l get my obstacles cleared I'm labelled the devil. The world is really unfair.Right now the people l was going to have a chat with knew where the biggest pain in my ass was. Redain Fucking Bianchi. The bastard was once my second in command . My right hand man. Till he decided to fuck me over and side with my mortal enemy. And not surprising, he had fucked him over and taken over as the leader. And he was now my mortal enemy and biggest obstacle. Ever since he fucked me over ,he had been using the knowledge he gained as my hand man to plan attacks on my shipments and ruining my plans. Which had

forced me to restratergize everything and l hated it. So now , my number one goal was finding that bastard who was too much of a coward to play his cards out in the open . I don't blame him really. He would have been  il letame for mother nature by now. Reaching the basement, my men bowed their heads in respect . I made my way over to the two guys who were hanging upside down, a foul smell eminnating from them . Sheez. I crouched down and looked down to one of them . His face was swollen and one of his eyes was missing. What a ghastly sight.

'Look man . Save yourself all this pain and tell me what l want to know'. He wheezled and blood mixed with spit came out of his mouth . Yikes.

' I -l - really h-have no idea w-where he is. P-p-lease just kill me. '.  He was no fun at all. Already wanted death.

' Oh well. I'm feeling rather generous today. My brother is home you see . Not permanently though. So l will grant you your wish'. I stood up to my full height and took out my gun . His eyes flashed with fear. Guess he didn't want to die after all. I shot him in his other eye then shot the other guy as well . Fuck. This wasn't going anywhere. Where the hell was this fucker hiding?.

'Pulisci questa merda'(clean this shit up.)

'Si Capo'.(Yes boss). I was starting to feel the frustration build up. I hated unsolved obstacles. They made me feel murderous. I needed release of some sort. Edith's face came unbidden to my mind. Why l was thinking about her now was beyond my understanding. Thinking about her made me horny and since she wasn't here to take care of the problem ,I had to think of something else. I pulled my phone out and called Dylan ,one of my men.

' Si Capo. '

'Dylan my man. I'm looking to have fun tonight. Know where l can get some toys to play with? ',

' I actually have twelve of them right now sir . ' I licked my lips.

'Twelve? ', The excitement was already building up .

'Si. Should l bring them ?',

'Cavolo, sì, divertiamoci un po',(Fuck yeah let us have some fun). ',bring them to the basement'. Time to torture the fun out of some obstacles.

EDITH TINAYE CHAWASEMA

This case was a pain my ass and also my salvation. Being caught red handed was a bind but l was trying to base with the fact all the witnesses we're dead except for one officer and if l cross examined him enough ,he would crack somewhere. Hopefully. Right now l just wanted to sleep. And there was nothing stopping me. Except my body which was so wound up with sexual tension , l wouldn't be able to sleep even if l tried. And my little fingers could not do my body any good. The person l had last had a hookup or rather , hookups with was Brett and he just couldn't seem to learn my body. His idea of making me come was vigorously playing with my clit and that shit was painful and not arousing at all. So l had called an end to things. Maybe l should call him but just thinking about his hands in my pants made me wince. Guess he is out of the question. Left with no other option,l made my way to my left drawer of the head board and pulled out Lucky, my BOB of 3 years. Lucky had been a gift on my thirtieth birthday from Loretta. He was black and big. I hadn't used him that much as my body tended to behave most of the time. Maybe it had just been too long and l needed to release some salts. Picking up Lucky, l made my way to my bed and lay down. Turning off the bedside lamp,l released a deep breath before sliding my nightie up. I shimmied my hips,taking of my panties and threw them on the floor. I switched lucky on and guided him towards my pussy. The first vibration had me arch my back off the bed ,the good sensation traveling through my body. I placed it on my clit and moaned. My eyes closed involuntarily and l saw black eyes starring at me. That only switched up my libido. Running Lucky from my slit to my clit in a repeated motion had me moaning, imagining big hands on me, dark black eyes starring at me . I could feel the pleasure pooling in my belly, feeling like a tight knot. My brain started flashing images of a a man licking my pussy ,his hot breadth sending tinkling sensations throughout my body. I was close . I could feel it. My pace increased desperate for release. Just when l could feel myself letting go ,the sharp ringing of my phone pulled me out of my imaginations. Fuck. My breadth was ragged , coming out at an irregular pace. I was going to kill whoever was calling me . Can't a girl masterbate and come in peace? Groaning, l stood up ,the wetness between my thighs irritating and uncomfortable. I ignored the phone and went to the bathroom. After cleaning myself and Lucky , l placed him back in the drawer and picked up my phone . Three missed calls from Loretta. I called her back and she picked up instantly.

' Motherfucker! Why weren't you picking up my calls? Were you masterbating or maybe getting laid?'. Her loud voice which l loved hearing most of the times sounded quite irritating at that particular moment.

'I have always told you you have the worst timing ever . I was about to come!',

' So what? He couldn't finish the job?', when l remained quite she screamed.

' Wait!You were masturbating?', Then she started laughing as if that was hilarious. Oh well it wasn't my fault l was single and didn't have a man to do it now was it?. Loretta was currently in Barcelona on what she called a "catch up trip" with her husband , Trevor of four years. Those two were polar opposites but were the cutest couple ever. She always left me to handle everything at the firm alone and then reward me with a trip to book shopping. She was the worst best friend ever and l totally loved hated her. But it was at times like these when l felt nothing but irritation and anger towards her.

' So what? There isn't a free dick anywhere around'. She snickered.

' Dicks are everywhere. If only you would leave your house and actually go somewhere you would find them . Any color or size you want. '

' Why did you call Loretta? ',

'Wow . It's good to know that l was missed too. I was just checking up on you. Didn't know you were having a date with Lucky now did l? Anyways I'm coming back tomorrow. It has been the best trip of my life . You know Trevor ....', and l tuned out. I knew once she started she wouldn't finish so l just started ummhing and wowing as l picked my panties from the floor and went to wash them before hanging them out to dry . I made my way to my bed and turned it down, getting under the covers. After a good fifteen minutes of her talking she finally took a breadth and l jumped at the opportunity.

' Actually when you come back I'm gonna take  a three month leave'.

'Whaaat. Why? You can't just up and leave. Are you going home? Or staying in Italy? Motherfucker you know l need you in that office in order to function. Hell no you can't do this to me.' I rolled my eyes. The drama with her never ends.

' You gonna have to deal sis. And no I'm not going home. I will be here. I just need to reboot'.

' But..',

'Hawu. Will talk when you are back. Good night travel safe. Love you'.

'Wait. I haven't even told you why l called yet.'

'Its gonna have to wait sis. I'm tired . Bye bye '.I made kissing sounds before cutting the call and putting it on flight mode. I laid back and closed my eyes , willing sleep to come. But it wouldn't. I tossed and turned for some time and when sleep did finally visit me ,my dreams were starring a hot Italian man with black eyes and tanned skin.

. . .

I was woken up by the loud knocking on my door. God. Can't l just get some sleep? I groaned and made my way to the door mumbling curses to the person disturbing my peace. I didn't even check to see who it was and just wrenched the door open. And surprise,surprise . Killian fucking Abate. The guy whose face and body l had been masterbating to. Not that he would ever know. I managed to conceal my surprise but not the anger . But Mother Mary. Did he look good. He was dressed casually in a black tracksuit that made him look like sin . My inner whore salivated and l clenched my thighs in response. I just prayed to God my tits were not erect or that if they were ,he would think it was something to do with the current breez outside. The man was assessing me with those haunting eyes of his and a small knowing smirk was on his face. Lord God. Help him not make a crude remark or so help me God.

'Mr Abate. To what do l owe the disturbance of my sleep?'. He raised a brow and made a show of looking at his watch. His very expensive looking watch l might add. And it looked good on him . I mentally slapped my inner whore.  Get in line bitch.

'Its five minutes to mid-day. 'His voice carried a hint of amusement and teasing.

'Its the weekend in case you didn't notice and for some of us ,even the weekends are days to work . So when l get some time off and decide to sleep , l sleep. ' I put emphasis on the word sleep .

' But you do have work to do . You have my brother's case. ' Oh God. This is not what l had envisioned my morning to turn out like. I had been hoping to catch as much sleep as l could before Loretta came here and start talking but it had all been ruined and now this man was accusing me of slacking on my job.

'You know what ,it's too early in the morning for this . Come to my office Monday and we will talk. 'I pushed my door to close it but he pushed his foot through. And the bastard was smiling.

'Im sorry if l said anything wrong'.  I was about to say something when my ancestors abandoned me and my stomach decided to growl . In hunger. Oh that's right . I was hungry. Killian had a frown plasterd on his face and was looking at me the way my mother looked at me whenever l did something bad. I hated that look.

'What?',I asked him  referring to his look.

' When did you last eat?',  My last meal had been five bananas for lunch yesterday but he didn't need to know that.

' Not that it's any of your business but oof...', I said as he pushed me aside and made his way into my house, straight to the kitchen .I stared at his back for a while before following him . He was opening cupboards and taking out things . My house was always fully stocked. I lived for food so of course my house was always full of food. Just that certain circumstances that are to remain unnamed had made me skip my meals.

' What do you think you are doing?',He looked up at me with an annoyed look.

' What does it look like I'm doing? I'm cooking. ' I was flabbergasted.

' Huh? Why? ', Another bored look then,

'You need to eat. '

' I know. Doesn't explain why you are in my house , cooking me food. I can cook for myself. ' He shrugged.

'I like taking care of my people' . Huh? His people? He counted me among his people? Urgh whatever. I was too tired and hungry to try to figure him out . So instead,l sat myself on a kitchen chair and watched him cook. He was a good cook. I mean(clears throat) ,his body was . The way his muscles flexed straining his t shirt was enough to send my inner whore into an overdrive. She was giggling in glee. He had discarded his tracksuit woody somewhere before he started cooking so every muscle that moved was visible to the eye. And my body was bewitched. He was cooking some pasta of sort. Italians and pasta  hawu. He finished cooking and served some food into a bowl then handed it to me with a fork. My stomach growled again . After saying a prayer l took a forkful and daaamn. It was good . Really good. He was leaning on the counter. Watching me eat . I didn't pay him any mind and continued eating. After clearing my plate,he held out his hand and took the bowl from me , putting it in the sink. He passed me a glass of water and my inner goddess smiled. She wasn't used to this kind of treatment. After taking several gulps of the water,l placed the glass on the kitchen table and looked at him .

'Thank you for the food. Now that your job is done, you are free to leave.'He smiled and said,

' I haven't even stated the reason why l came here'.

' I think l already told you that l will talk to you on Monday. '

'I don't want to wait till Monday. ' Oh God . It was really hard to concentrate when the man was looking at me with those eyes, talking with that voice and standing with that body. I rounded the counter and walked to him . I gently placed my hands on him and tried to push him to no avail . The man was a giant. Especially now when l was walking barefoot he looked like one of the gods of the Egyptians. I tried again and he quaked a brow in amusement. Before l could process what was happening, he lifted me and sat me on the kitchen counter then leaned in,his hands on either side of my body this caging me in. My breadth hitched ,my body growing hot and l could hear my inner goddess clapping. His breadth fanned my face and l was disgusted by myself to find it a turn on. My nipples hardened to the point of pain and my thighs clenched, desperate for friction. The man wasn't even touching me . He slowly leaned his head ,his gaze fixated on my lips. I wanted to move away . But l couldn't. Instead,l found myself anticipating the feel of his lips on mine. He was just an inch away when l heard my door opening and the sound of heels clicking. Shit. I tried to move but Killian wasn't having any of that. I galred at him hoping he would get the message but he just smirked at me.

'Motherfucker where are you. Don't tell me you are still sleeping at this time of day. I swear with the way you sleep one would think you are pregnant but then you need a dick for that and you don't seem to have access to one since last night you were.... Oh. ' The oh came out after she saw me caged in Killian's arms. My ancestors had abandoned me and there was no getting out of this. Killian finally moved back and jumped off the counter and turned to see Loretta whose eyes were as wise as saucers and were darting between me and the man. I inwardly groaned. My day couldn't get any better
