Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
“Are you done?” Lukas said, as if he had been waiting for her to calm down.
Rhea opened her mouth, ready to continue from where she stopped only for Lukas to suddenly press his arousal against her. She stiffened, and her eyes widened to the size of saucers. What the….?!
“That is what you do to me when you pour out those shitty words from your cute little mouth,” He breathed, pressing his body further against her.
With her heart pounding in her chest, the sexual tension between them suddenly increased. With the way he looked at her, Rhea thought he was really going to kiss her, but when he didn’t say a word, she took advantage of the opportunity to say, “I can really do this, Lukas. I’m not trying to run away or something, you would catch me nonetheless. But just let me prove myself this time. I’m bored to death here. There’s nothing for me to do.”
Rhea hoped her words would change his mind but he only caressed her face with his hand. Lukas looked at her as if she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen and she had to admit, her heart skipped a beat.
But that was until he said, “I’m sorry but I can’t lose you and Chloe at the same time.”
And with that, he got off her and left the room.
Her Personal Bodyguard
“That was all he said and left?” Mimi asked her after Rhea narrated the encounter between her and Lukas.
“Yes, that was all.” Rhea sighed, staring at her best friend.
Mimi had come to visit her as usual and unlike the other times they stayed in her room, both ladies were outside this time taking in the fresh air.
An umbrella stood over them, shedding them from the sun while they sat on an outdoor recliner, relaxing.
“So, what’s your plan now?” Mimi was curious to know because her friend was not the type to give up on her goal.
Rhea shrugged, “I honestly don’t know. I was thinking of causing problems for him but that plan is bound to backfire on me. I’ve witnessed it firsthand, trust hand. Lukas is not the type of man you push around. He doesn’t take bullshit from anyone, lady or not. You hit him, he hits back twice.”
“In one word, you’ve run out of ideas. He wins.”
“No,” Rhea told her, ” I’ve might have run out of ideas but I have not given up. Lukas thinks more with his fists and depends on his ability, unfortunately, I depend here….” She hinted to her brain, “And my charm.”
“A-ha,” Mimi had a hard time believing that.
…..
“I’m serious. All I have to do is to just think intensely and I will…..” Rhea was still saying when she felt someone approaching because his shadow fell on them.
Both Rhea and Mimi lifted their gaze to look at the intruder only for a whistle to leave their lips. Geez, where did this guy come from? They haven’t seen him around here until now.
Both ladies didn’t even realize they were practically drooling until he waved at them, saying, “Hi, I’m Luca and your personal guard from today’s onward,”
“What?!” Both Mimi and Rhea shouted at that same time, stunned by the sudden news. What was going on here?
At once, Mimi stood to her feet and went in front of him, blocking Rhea from his view, “Hi, I’m Mimi and that is my sister, Rhea,” She stretched out her hands for him to take.
“Nice to meet You, Mimi, Rhea’s sister,” Luca shook her hand firmly and all Mimi could think about was, damn, the muscles on this man. This man was like an exotic delicacy. So yummy.
Luca was tall, like really tall, six feet plus probably, and then with muscles on his body that could make even a married woman have sinful thoughts. The shirt he wore was so snug around his middle that they could see the outline of his strong chest. What she would do to make that guy take his shirt off?
And then his face was crafted by God himself. His black hair was curly and fell over his soft brown eyes. Although his skin was pale, it was blemish-free for a guy who seemed to have seen hard work. How did this Adonis get here?
“Your mouth is open, Mimi,” He said, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
“Oh!” Mimi palmed her mouth, laughing awkwardly. This was so embarrassing.
However, she glanced up at him saying, “So, uh, Luca, right?”
“Right.” He said, standing up straight. The height of this man.
“When you mentioned ‘personal guard’, do you mean ‘for me’? Or ‘Rhea’?” She added, “or ‘the both of us’?” Mimi pleaded in a lower tone even though she knew the answer already, “Please pick me.”
But Luca chuckled, “I’m sorry, but boss Lukas said I’m to keep an eye on Rhea. However, you can call me too if you’re in lucky but my priority is Miss Rhea.”
Mimi groaned, “Lucky Rhea,”
Rhea in question looked at her innocently. How was she lucky? Lukas just made escaping here ten times more difficult.
Sadly, Mimi saw that look and face-palmed, “You are so naive sometimes I don’t know whether to be happy or sad for you,” Mimi said, and went to sit back down on her recliner with a pout. Why does Rhea get to have all the handsome guys and doesn’t even know how to use them. This word is unfair.
“Hi, I’m Rhea,” She was on her feet to welcome him this time,” However, I don’t understand something, you are here to be my personal guard? I don’t even know you,”
“Yes, I’m not from around here but boss Lukas called me to be in charge of you. He told me that both of you discussed it already.” Luca said to her.
“Discussed it already?” Rhea frowned. Why would she be stupid enough to ask Lukas to put a guard on her….. And then, it hit her.
*flashback*
“If you’re going to have your men on my tail, I just need one of them. It makes me uncomfortable to be under their scrutiny, not to mention all the time.” She demanded.
“That would only happen if you promise not to shoot any of my men again,” He made his demands.
“Fine, I won’t.”
“Anything else?” He asked.
“Yes,” She said.
What now? Lukas rolled his eyes mentally, women were so demanding.
“Make sure he’s handsome.”
“What?”
“Whoever you’re sending to watch me for twenty-four hours, seven days. I need to feast my eyes on a handsome face,” She grinned at him knowingly.
*end of flashback*
“Oh no,” Rhea looked pale as she withdrew her hands from Lucas’ who knew from her face she finally remembered.
