Page 25 of Mafia Kings: Valentino

I got to a quarter erection just from seeingthat.

She stared at me with huge eyes, like a deer caught in the headlights –

And suddenly I wanted her more than anything I could ever remember.

This was it.

I was going to fuck this girl –

Ihadto fuck this girl –

Right here. Right now.

I gave her a smile and turned up the charm.

“Well,hello.”

“…hi,” I squeaked out.

I was veryaware that I wasnotlooking my best. Every morning, I’d always put on makeup just in case I saw Valentino – but after no sign of him for six days, I eventually gave up.

I was getting up at 4:15 in the morning to put on my face, I was frickin’ exhausted, and if I wasn’t going to seehim,what was the point?

Soof coursehe shows up the first morning I wasn’t wearing any makeup.

Plus, I’d overslept because I was so tired, and I’d had to throw on my clothes in a hurry. I looked pretty sloppy with my hair all mussed up.

I’d figured that if any of the kitchen staff said anything when they came in to fix breakfast, I’d just go back to my room and tidy up.

So ofcoursethis was the time he decided to show up.

He didn’t seem put off by my looks, though, because he walked over right in front of me with that million-dollar smile.

He got so close I could smell his cologne and a hint of cigarette smoke on his clothes.

I tried to smell any alcohol on his breath –

Nope. He definitely wasn’t drunk.

He didn’t even seem buzzed. More like he was 100% sober.

“It’s good to see you,” he grinned. “I thought you weren’t starting work until tomorrow.”

I stared at him in disbelief. “I was supposed to, but – wait, you knew when I was starting work?!”

“Of course. I specifically asked about it.” Valentino chuckled. “Niccolo told me to leave you alone… but I told him that should be up toyou.”

“…oh,” I squeaked again, suddenly feeling a hot flush all over me.

“When did you start?” he asked.

“Like – six days ago.”

“Six days ago?!”he exclaimed. “Shit – if I’d knownthat,I would’ve been back here way earlier!”
