*****Leo POV*****My heart is already pounding by the time I exit the back door and there’s no sign of Niki. I am usually calm but right now I am freaking out. Theres too much danger lurking around, Niki could be dead already. Just the thought of that makes my stomach twist into a knot. The person who killed Jake is still out there and possibly here in Palmland. So is the one who put her on the dark web. Uncle and his men are also around. He always hated the Davi’s and Niki shot him. I can bet my life on the fact that he wants revenge and he would not think twice to get it.I curse inside when Owen checks in and reports no sign of Niki on the front exit. Our men are now all on board, tracking her phone and checking the cameras around the hotel. “Her phone is off but she’s on another one. Luca says she walked that way,” I update Owen when he joins me at the back.“Your woman is sneaky and impossible. I swear I will smack her when we find her.”Owen continues ranting while I log in to
*****Nikita POV*****Leo is the last person I expected to find in a cab. I am not over that shock when he lifts my chin up and literally takes my breath away. His warm breath caresses my face and I yearn for him to come closer. I want his sensual lips to kiss me, but he is just staring at me. I have always been an impatient go-getter and I want him to kiss me right now. I bring my hand to touch his face. If he needed permission, I just gave him one, but he does not take the bait. He pulls away from me instead. For a moment I’m a mess trying to make sense of what just happened. Did Leo just reject my advances when he initiated the process in the first place? It takes a few minutes for me to get over the embarrassment and disappointment then I notice his mysterious victorious smile. He is playing me and got away with it. I know him enough to know that there will definitely be next time and I won’t be so gullible. I will get my payback. That thought strangely calms me down. Now that I am
*****Leo POV*****The way to the penthouse is very quiet. I don’t feel like talking to both Niki and Owen. I just want to get into my bedroom and retire for the night, but my two roommates have other plans. Owen has never clashed with Niki and has no idea what he is starting. I can tell that Niki is about to snap and it will be ugly. Princess psycho is what I call her when she’s mad, because she becomes a real daredevil. One cold stare at Owen and he gets it. One more word and I will fucken’ kill him is my message to him. He knows that I mean it and walks away. I am really pissed at him for the way he spoke to Niki. She is not my woman, yet, but I will not tolerate that kind of disrespect. I am the only one allowed to piss her off and even I have my limits. Not only that, he knows that I am pissed about him lying to me about the Davi maid. Niki’s eyes are still blazing even though Owen is no longer in sight. “He is right,” I say and Princess psycho comes alive. I knew that she wou
*****Leo POV*****“I guess I am in,” Marcus announces in delight and I just want to punch him on the face. What kind of a business man does not even try to negotiate rates with the bank. The bank is absolutely gorgeous in this case, but dude, please!Niki does not get all excited like an amateur. She maintains the same demeanour. My first assessment of her was wrong, she has done this a lot of times before. She is a pro. Her next words are calculated and intentional. “I have not heard why we should be associating ourselves with you, Marcus.”She is sizing Marcus up and he has no clue. This woman is damn good. I wonder if she’s ever lost on any deal. I look at Marcus, curious to hear his pitch and dude has nothing. “Because you have already come all the way from Lilly town to meet me,” he says, with a grin. Really, Dude? That’s the best you can come up with? Now I’m pissed with him for the whole men tribe. “That’s a very weak argument. I just wanted to get out of town,” Niki’s respons
*****Leo POV*****“Who the fuck let you in here?” I don’t think I have ever been so turned off and irritated by naked women in my life before.The girls stop making-out and look at me with a shocked expression. I don’t know if they expected a fucken’ welcome party when I did not invite them. In fact, I have shut them out for over six months now.“We..we,” Maggie stutteres. “Get the fuck out!”They jump on their feet with widened expressions but make no attempt to move towards the door. Whoever told women that they have unimaginable power when naked was a dumb ass. I am really pissed off but they are moving towards me, flattering their fake latches and doing all sorts of sexual gestures. “Please, Leo. We miss…”“I will not repeat myself.” My cold stare gets them running towards the door. If only that worked on Niki too, I would be a happy man, but unfortunately for me, defiance is her middle name. I sigh and recollect myself before walking into her bedroom. I am fully aware that I am
*****Leo POV*****I wake up three hours later with Niki’s alluring body tangled around me and her head resting on my chest. Fucken’ amazing! Dreams like these don’t usually come true in the mafia but here we are. I am well aware of the impossibility of any of this lasting but I will bask in this moment and explore every part of this amazing body every chance I get. My growling stomach is a reminder that I have not eaten anything since last night. Niki had cereals in the morning, it’s now after lunch, she must be starving. I can’t help but smile at the thought of her eating something. My impossible babe does love her food, although I have no idea where it actually goes. With that thought, I grab my phone and send Luca, my third in command a message of my order and he responds immediately to acknowledge receipt. With Owen away to sort out the maid fiasco, Luca’s been in charge of the men and I’m glad. Luca is quiet, extremely loyal and efficient. Owen would definitely be on my case alr
*****Nikita POV*****After the provocative shower, I could not get Leo’s sexy body out of my head no matter how hard I tried. It took me the whole two hours of turning and tossing in bed struggling to fall asleep after he left he hanging like that. The bastard is really hot and he knows it. I head straight to the shower the first thing in the morning and last nights memories come rushing in, leaving me breathless. The way his body pressed against mine and how his experienced hands touched me at all the right places still linger in my mind. I wonder how the real thing feels like. “Careful now, Niki. He is playing games with you, don’t be so gullible. You can play this game too, remember?” My pep talk is enough to get me ready for my revenge. I strategically leave my toiletry bag half closed, tempting him to look inside. I wish I can be here to see his expression when he sees the condoms I left inside. I did not take Father and Hunter’s offer to get condoms the day I flew here because t
*****Leo POV*****Niki is unsurprisingly shocked when I tell her that uncle was the one who tried to abduct her years ago. We spent so many years hating each other, I don’t want her to find out the truth and hate me over again. I also want to make it clear to her that Owen and I had nothing to do with that. “Obviously! You were fifteen back then, dummy,” is her response. I love how relaxed she is around me. I want to tell her that even if I wasn’t fifteen, that even now I would never hurt her, but I can’t because it’s not true. In two months time, I will kill her father if I can’t find Jake’s killer. Knowing her, the chances are she might want to stop me or avenge him and I can’t guarantee that I won’t hurt her. I don’t make any promises but I pull her closer and kiss her instead. This, pleasuring her and making her scream my name, I can rely on, and that’s what I will do the whole week. I cant suppress my laughter when she feels my dick pressing on her thigh. She has the unique abi
