chapter 2

chapter Two

I took a few more steps and was about to walk towards the windows so I could see the view of New York from way up here when long fingers gripped my forearm and pulled me backwards.

“What are you doing here? I never book more than three a night,”

Well there goes the hopes of him believing that i was scheduled for tonight.

“I have an appointment with you for tomorrow but…”

“Then come back tomorrow,”

“I cant please, it has to be tonight,”

His blue eyes scrunched as he looked into my green ones like he was searching for something. My stomach tightened.

crap!

“If you can't make it tomorrow I’ll issue you a partial refund,” He lets go of my arm and walks toward a room to the left side. He was wearing a pair of gray sweats, no shirt and no shoes. His black hair was wet like he just stepped out of the shower. I was tempted to follow him wherever he went but my gut told me to stay put. He didn't seem like the type who liked to be disobeyed.

Plus I was too busy gawking at the muscles he had on his back that alone caused my mouth to water.

“What's the name you used on the application?” He said from the other room.

“Nova Jackson,”

I heard a thud followed by a line of curse words as he stomped back towards me.

“Here’s a check with half the amount you gave. I’m afraid the other half is non refundable for wasting my time,”

I shook my head.

“I don’t want a refund at all. I want what I paid for,”

“I don't book any more…”

“Three people I got that,” I cut him off.

“Look. I can't do it tomorrow. Something has come up and before it's too late,” I paused. “Can you please just make an exception just this once?”

His body stiffens and his muscles bulge I can tell no one talks to him like that and I just did and he doesn’t seem to happy with me right now so my chances of losing my virginity tonight is probably not going to happen and i'm going to loose it to an old man that i have no choice but to marry.

“I Make exceptions for noone,”

I grab the check from his hand and head towards the elevator and press the button and I wait impatiently for the doors to open.

I stare down at the check in my hands. Five thousand dollars is what I paid for tonight and I lost twenty five hundred of the money I was saving to run away from home. I guess twenty five hundred will take me so far and I'll change my name and get a job to survive and pray like hell that my father doesn’t find me.

Angelo Benardi, leader of the mafia group Angels of death. The reason why they call themselves angels of death is because they decide when and where you die. I don't think my father would kill me. He loves his family more than anything he goes through so much to protect us with that being said his punishment would hurt like hell that much i know.

“What is it that you're thinking about?”

I nearly jumped from my skin when I heard the dragon's voice behind me. then it dawned on me that the doors had not yet opened so I leaned forward and pressed the button once more.

“Sorry I forgot to press the button,” Truth is i can't remember if i pressed it or not i was so caught up in my thoughts.

“You were so deep in thought that you hadn’t noticed the doors opened and closed and that you had already pressed that mere button.”

I looked up at him and that was a big mistake because his features lured me in. His sharp jawline and thin long nose and thick lips that I wanted to bite between my own. His ocean blue eyes pulled you under their waves. I've never in all my life seen anything so beautiful.

“I’m being forced to marry a man in his forties by my father which is why i couldn’t make it tomorrow,”

Why in the hell did I just say that to him? fuck Myra get it together before that stupid mouth of yours tells him who you really are or worse slips to him that your a virgin.

The doors open and my eyes strays from him to the elevator and I glanced back at him and smiled.

“Maybe some other time,” I said and stepped beside him when a thought passed my mind Nicolas may get my virginity but he would not get my first kiss. and without thinking it all the way through I tiptoed and pressed my small thin lips against his not for long just for a moment before i pulled away and walked toward the elevator.

Take that Nicolas Aspen You won't be the first to claim my lips.

I smiled at the thought as I stepped inside and turned around to face the dragon. His face was held in an angry expression and his body held the same meaning stiff and fist clenched in balls. Was he upset about the kiss? well too bad for him at least i got something for my twenty five hundred dollars. it wasn’t much but it was something.

I got to the lobby of the apartments. I've never seen it look like this before. It was like a hotel with lots of people and staff working the front desk and bellairs to take your cars and welcome you to the Windsor apartments. It was a very nice place.

As I approached the doors the same gray haired man that announced over the radio that the dragon had another one was standing there and when he saw me his face fell and he turned away from me.

He picks up the phone from the wall and dials a number and asks for a cab.

“The cab will only be a moment Ms,”

“Thank you,” I nod.

I looked down at the check still in my hands and I pulled my purse and placed it safely inside.

“The dragon never gives a refund,” The man whispered.

I glanced up at him and shook my head.

“He doesn't, I just wanted to pay for the whole night and I wrote him a big fat check and he refused it,” I shrugged my shoulders. I don't want him knowing the dragon turned me down flat. it's none of his business anyways and the looks hes been given me is uncalled for.
