26
As tired as I felt, sleep was evading me. I sat up in my bed and stared at the beautiful, naked woman beside me. The risk had paid off. Opening up to her just enough to not leave myself vulnerable, and making my intentions known, had been the perfect way to chip at her wall. She may not have given me a full commitment, but that would come soon enough. I was sure of that. So long as I could hold up my end of our deal.Absentmindedly, I twisted a strand of her fiery hair around my fingers. Now that she was here, and offering me some level of certainty, I was able to focus on other important things.Adonis was fitting into The Brotherhood perfectly, but I knew what his goals were. He wanted to avenge Selene, and then take over from me when the time was right. He would need to focus his attention on more than just the violent side of things if he had a chance of me backing him in that.
I’d have to nudge him in the right direction.The Brotherhood functioned differently from other organisations around here. Shay would lead his Wolves until his last breath, there was no way out of The Westeroak Wolves, except in death. I, however, would lead my Brothers until I was ready to hand the reins to someone else. I had presumed that Grey would eventually be my successor, typically our seconds were the ones take over, just like I had taken over from Sal. But now, I wasn’t so sure that he was the right choice.My brother-in-law—Adonis’ uncle—had taken an early ‘retirement’, not only leaving The Brotherhood, but leaving the country, choosing to put this life behind him and start fresh with his childhood sweetheart. I visited him in Italy often, my mentor had always been like family to me, even before he officially became it. During my visits I had caught his sister’s attention. Then during one long summer weekend she had made her move on me. In that moment I knew I had to make her mine; I had never met a woman with such confidence in all my life, and I never thought I would find anyone else who might compare.Until Mal.I sighed and gently smoothed down her hair, careful not to wake her, then slid out of my bed. I’d be able to think better in the office. I pulled on a pair of loose shorts and quietly left the room.Once I was sat down in the leather chair at my desk with a freshly made coffee, I felt focused. I fired up my computer and scanned through all of the updates I had received over the past week. I had been giving the little things less attention recently, and that needed to stop. Everything needed to be controlled to avoid our status being taken down. I had kept The Brotherhood at the top for the past six years, and I’d make sure that we stayed there.When I had managed to get myself back on top of things a while later, I reclined back in my chair and checked the time. It was just past midnight, and Don was out. He had made a last minute decision to go to Onyx for our big summer event. I rarely attended the nightclubs events, I kept myself in the loop, and showed my face if I needed to, but I never went for the pleasure of being there. Getting hit on by young, scantily clad girls didn’t interest me, especially when I had my own beautiful creature already warming my bed.I had been shocked that Don had decided to go. He wasn’t much of a social butterfly, but it was also no secret that he hated my woman, so going out was likely the lesser of two evils in his eyes when she was around.
Michael was also at the club tonight, and he had sent me a message an hour ago to inform me that the event was going well. I trusted Michael to be my eyes, and to make the right decisions. Don had yet to prove to me that I could trust him with the same. Tonight could be a good test though.I sent a message to Michael, telling him to relax, and that Adonis would be taking over so that he could enjoy himself. Michael would probably have Rebecca with him, and knowing his wife, she had most likely been pestering him all evening to have some fun. She would be very happy now, all thanks to me.When I dialled Don’s number the line rang out, and I ground my teeth as it went to voicemail. I tried him again, my jaw clenching even tighter as the seconds ticked past. He eventually answered just before I gave myself a toothache, and the sound of someone panting came through the speaker.“What the fuck are you doing, Adonis?” I barked, and heard a girl ask if they should stop.“Don’t you dare,” he told her, and the sound of skin slapping made my lip curl. “What’s up, boss?” he asked, sounding casual as fuck, like he wasn’t blatantly fucking some girl while on the phone to me.“Finish up now, Adonis. You have a job to do,” I snapped.“Fuck, Clara, don’t move,” he groaned under his breath, and a loud crashing sound made me jolt and pull my phone away from my ear.“You’re on speaker,” he informed me, “What’s the job?”This fucking kid.I ran my hand through my hair, tugging at the roots. “Don’t be an idiot, Son. You have two minutes to finish and call back. When I next speak to you, I expect you to be focused.”The sound’s coming through the phone didn’t stop, and I paused before I hung up. “Oh, Clara, you can go home when he’s done with you. You’re fired.”I ended the call and opened the file on my computer that held all of my staff records, scrolling through for Clara’s information. I’d transfer her an extra months’ worth of wages to keep her quiet, and then remove her from the system. She was a sweet girl, but it was no real loss, especially after how shaken up she had been over the night with the Vipers. The girl hadn’t asked for time off, but her manager had informed me that she was spending most of her shifts hiding in the storeroom. She would be easily replaced by the morning.One minute and sixteen seconds passed before Don called me back.“Good, you can follow time sensitive instructions,” I said bluntly, and was met with a low chuckle.“I was practically done anyway. Could you not have waited until later to fire her though? She got emotional and wanted a cuddle.” He sounded exasperated, and I guessed that he hadn’t given her what she wanted.“That’ll teach you to fuck my staff.”He scoffed but I carried on before he could say something he’d regret. “You’re my eyes for the rest of the night, Adonis. I need you to be me, make the right decisions, prove to me that you can handle something other than violence.”“Is that all?” he asked, sounding bored, and I closed my eyes, inhaling slowly to calm my rising temper.“If you can’t handle this then you’ll never be able to run things, Son,” I said as calmly as I could.My eyes snapped open at the sound of my office door creaking, and landed on Mal standing on the threshold, wearing one of my white shirts, and by the looks of it, nothing else. The fabric grazed the tops of her thighs, and she had lazily only done up the bottom three buttons.“I can handle it,” Don replied.I was still listening to him, but I couldn’t keep my eyes off of her. I was entranced by the way her hips swayed as she slowly moved across the room towards my desk.“Don’t let me down,” I told him, just as my goddess climbed on top of my desk and knelt with her knees spread apart, offering me the most tempting view beneath the stolen shirt.“Check in within the hour,” I said, and promptly ended the call.“What are you doing, amore mio?” I asked in a husky voice.“Seeing if you want any company, why are you up?” she asked, and I smiled at how comfortable she was already appearing to be.“Work, amore, it never ends. Although, if you stay down here with me I doubt I’ll get much done,” I said and sucked in a sharp breath as she proved my point by sliding to the edge of my desk and climbing off to straddle me.“I’m sure the great leader of The Brotherhood is capable of multitasking,” she whispered, running her long, perfectly manicured nails up and down my bare chest.“You are insatiable,” I murmured, but I didn’t stop her. I was curious. I wanted to know what she would do next.She hummed in agreement, then pressed her lips to mine in a passionate kiss, before reaching down between us and slipping her hand inside my shorts. Her fingers wrapped around my solid length, and I groaned as she didn’t hesitate, instantly working her hand up and down in a smooth rhythm.“Carry on with your work, boss,” she purred.“I would, but you’re in the way.”I looked her up and down. She laughed softly, and the noise had me twitching in her palm. She climbed of of my lap and wriggled her way under the desk, flashing me a sly grin.“Better?” she asked as her hands gripped my legs and pulled my chair closer.“Much,” I said, and pushed my shorts down just enough to free my cock for her.It barely took a second for her to run her tongue from my base to tip, and she began lapping over me with teasing licks. I turned my attention to my computer screen and pulled up a log of previous applicants for our bar roles.
The goddess under my desk continued to tease me as I scrolled through the names. I found the one that I was looking for, an older woman with a hell of a lot of experience. I opened the file and mio amore pushed my cock deep into her mouth, taking the entire length down and holding me in her throat. I threw my head back and let out a long, deep moan. She slowly moved back, gliding her lips along my shaft, and repeated the motion over and over. I moved my hand under the desk and grabbed her head, encouraging her to keep her pace.She released me from her mouth and growled. “Get back to work,” she instructed, and I laughed, only allowing her to get away with speaking to me that way because she was so fucking close to making me come.I did as she said, bringing my hand back above the desk and cursing quietly as she took me back into her mouth. I turned my attention to the application for the woman, Anita, and checked the details that I had for her.Mal bobbed her head up and down, and I dug my fingers into the arms of my chair, all concentration lost.“Oh mio dio, fuck, sto venendo.” Words came falling out of my mouth and my cock swelled. She moved me deeper and moaned around me as I cursed and exploded into the back of her throat.I rested my head back and levelled my breathing. Mal tucked me back into my shorts, but she didn’t come back up next to me. I lifted my head to search for her and found her sitting in one of the chairs on the opposite side of my desk, looking like the cat who’d got the cream, licking her lips and grinning.“What are you doing over there?” I asked, lifting my brows.“Letting you work,” she replied and threw me an innocent look.“No.” I shook my head at her. “Come back here,” I commanded.She smirked back at me and mouthed the two words that she knew would push me. ‘Make me.’I pushed my tongue into my cheek and stood up. Fear and excitement flashed in her eyes as I made my way around the desk and continued until I was standing behind her chair. My hands gripped her shoulders, and she craned her neck back to look up at me.“You get one chance, amore mio.”She bit her lip and looked back ahead, crossing her arms over her chest in silent defiance.I sighed and rounded the chair. Then bent over and effortlessly threw her body over my shoulder. She squealed in protest, but we had played this game enough times before. She loved the way I handled her. I walked back to my chair with her over my shoulder, and with my free hand I pushed my shorts down, before sitting back down and placing her on her feet in front of me. I turned her around, and pulled her on to my lap, positioning her so that her back was pressed to my chest and her legs were draped wide open on either side of my own. The soft, warm skin between her thighs was slick with her arousal and she ground it against my already half-erect cock.“Stay still, and silent,” I whispered in her ear as I pushed us both forward and reached for my phone. I unlocked it and handed it to her, then let my hands slowly trail up the insides of her thighs. “Call Cooper, and put it on speaker.”She tensed, but did as she was told, placing my phone on the desk in front of us. As it began to ring, I dragged a finger through her wetness and circled her clit. She let out a gentle moan.“Shh,” I reminded her, and continued to work my finger over her.“It’s late,” she panted, “maybe he’s asleep.”She inhaled sharply as I rubbed harder, then Cooper’s voice came down the line.“Boss,” he said. “Sorry, I had to fight my way outside, Onyx is packed tonight.”Mal writhed in my lap and her mouth fell open as I pushed two fingers inside her, my thumb taking over on her clit as I pumped my fingers mercilessly.“I need you to hire a new barmaid,” I told him.Mal clamped a hand over her mouth as I pushed her quickly to the edge. My woman was so easy to please. I yanked her hand away and replaced it with my own, holding her face close to mine.“Hold on, amore mio,” I murmured into her ear and felt her clench around my fingers.“For Onyx?” he asked. Cooper was a smart guy, not a lot got past him, he already knew what had happened with Clara.“Anita Belfast,” I said, “that older woman who interviewed last month. Call her first thing and offer her the basic contract.”Mal began to wriggle on my lap desperately. I pulled my fingers out of her and spread her legs wider with my own. My cock was hard and ready to go again, and she reached between her legs to grab it. I tutted and batted her hand away before torturing her clit some more. “Greedy girl,” I breathed, and she ground her ass down on me in agreement.“What if she’s already found another job? How badly do you want her?” he asked. He could easily turn on his charm if he knew I wanted something badly enough.“Don’t go overboard, Coop, but yes, I want this one. I need at least one girl in that place that I can trust to not fuck my guys.”I lowered my hand from Mal”s mouth to wrap my fingers around her neck, and she thrashed around on top of me. “Not yet,” I warned her.“Gotcha,” he said with a small laugh.“I’ll send over her details in a minute.”I released my grip on her throat, and she gasped, then clamped her mouth shut. She was trying so hard to keep quiet, and I realised that I might have just found my new favourite game. She wriggled against me again, grinding as if she was searching for my cock, and I pushed up so that she could feel it rub against her, teasing, then paused at her entrance.“Great, anything else boss?” Cooper asked.“No, that’s all, Coop,” I said, and Mal took the hint, reaching forward to hang up the phone.That’s how it’s done. The line went dead, and she let out a loud moan.“Such a good girl,” I praised her, and pulled her tight against my chest, my fingers working relentlessly on her clit and my erection pressing against her dripping hole. “Do you want to come?”“Yes,” she cried, “please.”“Then come,” I growled, and thrust my cock deep inside her.She screamed and fell apart, soaking me and pulsing around me. Her pussy contracted in frantic ripples, and I groaned at the incredible sensation of her violent orgasm.“Fuck,” she breathed as she came back down to earth, and I held her close. I slipped out of her, satisfied enough with her display to simply sit with her instead of taking more pleasure for myself. She twisted in my lap, nuzzled her head into the crook of my neck, and stifled a yawn.“I think you need to go back to bed,” I whispered as I rested my cheek on her head.She hummed in response but made no move to get up.
I scooted the chair closer to the desk so that I could forward Anita’s details to Cooper in an email and closed the computer down. I grabbed my phone and stood up, then realised that my shorts were pooled around my ankles. I could either put down the sleepy angel in my arms, or kick them off completely.I made my way up the stairs with my ass on show for the second time, and smiled at the madness of it. This woman had me doing all sorts of stupid things, things that I’d have never done for anyone else. And if I was being honest, I didn’t hate it.I tucked Mal into my bed and sat next to her. She shuffled around until she was comfortable, and quickly drifted off to sleep. I unlocked my phone and found two messages waiting. One from Don telling me that everything was fine. And one from Cooper.
CooperThanks boss, enjoy your night. ;)
Cheeky bastard knew exactly what had been going on during that call. I ignored Don and replied to Cooper.
LorenzoDon’t push it, C.
