Page 5 of Dare You to Catch Me
I stare into his eyes, feeling the warmth of his hand. “You're doing things to me, Emma.”
Ending this before it starts, promising to follow the vow I made myself, no relationships with Mob bosses, even if that meant no relationship at all. “That sounds like ayouproblem.” I tease.
A growl echoes through his throat as his eyes burn hotter into mine. His hand grips tighter around my cheek, as he presses his body against mine, pinning me against my car. His knee slides up between my legs, reaching my center as he applies pressure, then whispers just over my lips. “It's about to be ayouproblem.” His breath hovering over my lips, so close, so fucking close, I could just let myself cave and press my lips to his, but I think other of it, I can't, I won't.
“I don't think so, Mr. Collins.” I wrap my hand around his wrist and pull his hand from my face. “We should go. We have a meeting bright and early.”
His hungry gaze burns through me making my heart jump around in my chest like a jumping bean, but I try to calm myself down, I can't do this. I step to the side and he growls. “We're not done here.”
As I reach for my door handle, I look backup at him over my shoulder with a Devilish smirk. “Oh, but we are. Good night, Mr. Collins.” I slip down in my car, shutting the door, leaving him standing there to figure out his own feelings.
It's been a bit of time, so it's safe to say I can peel out of here.
I start my car and she roars to life, I back out around Ace's car, getting onto the road, I shift to first, driving away, leaving a red blur in my path.
ACE
My mind is fucking blown with the powerful essence that feeds off her. She's a spitfire, not afraid to put me in my place, and I've been known to be intimidating to girls. Something tells me, she isn't intimidated by me, which causes the fire to burn hotter inside me, the obsession to touch that soft skin, those eyes, and fuck, that mouth, that sassy little mouth.
Visioning her with her lips wrapped around my cock, taking it down her throat only feeds the raging boner between my legs, making it hard to shift gears as I maneuver throughthe city.
We have a meeting in the morning at the West Casino. I have no idea what this meeting is about, but I do know Emma will be there and I can't say I'm not excited to see her again. She is my new obsession.
Chapter three
ACE
Sitting in my office, leaned back in my chair, waiting for Papa to get here before Charles and Emma show up. Caz sits in the chair across my desk, filling me in on intel I have been after but I'm not paying a lick of attention. I can't stop thinking about Emma.
“Ace, are you fucking hearing me? I snap my eyes up, and stare at him. “Yes, fuck, I hear you. Go on.” That's half true, but this time I do listen as he continues to ramble on about a boss that has been slipping into the casino, playing dirty at our high stakes tables.
“When do you want to do this?”
“Tonight.” I growl the words out. I don't like being cheated and now I have what I need to take him down, I will handle it tonight.
My father walks in before Caz stands, stepping out of my office to give my father and I privacy. I watch my father walk to the couch and sit down.
“What is this meeting about, Papa? I need to handle some things this evening, so I need to wrap this up.” I ask him while I watch him get himself adjusted in his seat. “I don't know if you are going to like the answer to that question, son.” He is being dead serious, but he also has that shit eating grin on his face. I raise my brow, clenching my jaw, annoyed with his behavior.. “I'm not in the mood for this, Papa.” He crosses his leg, resting his ankle to his knee as he throws an arm up on the back of the couch, staring at me dangerously. “Wehave a problem.”
“What's tha-” There's a knock at my door before Caz lets himself in with Charles and Emma following behind him.
When my eyes fall on her; of course I examine her entire body before they meet her gaze. She gives me a little side smile before her eyes flutter. Her words leave her tongue. “Good Morning Gentleman.” She makes her way to my father, bending over, placing a peck to his cheek, before coming around my desk as I stand to greet her. “Good Morning.” She gets up on her tippy toes and her lips press to my cheek, she pulls back just a hair, whispering above my skin, just so I can hear. “We're being set up for something.” She pulls back and the way her eyes burn into my eyes, I get an instant lump in my throat. “Yeah, I'm well aware.” I try to assure her as she shoots me a tight smile before sitting in the chair beside Charles.
Taking my seat, I bark out the words in a demanding tone, feeling a little on edge with Emma's words. “So why are we here?”
Without wasting time, Charles begins to tell me what the fuck we are here for. “You're going to marry my daughter-”
“I don't fucking think so!” Emma flies out of her chair, glaring down at Charles with fire blazing in her eyes.
“Sit down!” Charles orders her.
“You will not arrange a marriage for me! It is not happening!” She spits.
“YOU WILL DO WHAT I SAY!” Charles stands, striking out, smacking her across the face. I fly out of my chair, with red in my sights.
“You fucking bastard.” Her voice cracks and I step in front of her. Charles nose to nose with me now. I stare into his hateful eyes, but mine are more dangerous with the blood that's glazing over them, blurring my vision.
“You touch her again and you're a deadman.” I warn.
