He was sitting at the head of the table watching them all as they all talked among themselves and made small talks.This was all pointless to him, he didn't even wanna be here but he had to, it's his business, this was the part he had to handle by himself.His secretary couldn't handle this.This was the boring part of the business, the paperwork and tolerating stuck up, pot belly old men, who only had one goal, kiss his ass to be on his good side.He rubbed his temple as their voices got irritating and annoying.He wanted to just get up and walk out of the room but there was still a lot he had to do at the office and this stupid meeting.His mind slowly but surely drifted away from the meeting as the face of a certain brown eye young man appeared in his head.He hadn't seen him since that day in his office, he has been to Greg's place once to sign the contract, in a way he kind of hoped he'd meet him there but he didn't.At least now he knows he can't be of any threat to him.Not sin
The whole room was graveyard silent, not even a pin drop could be heard as all the men looked at each other and at Spade at the head of the table.Salvatore was the first to speak up, drawing the whole attention away from Spade and to him.Even Spade had turned to look at him"We're all gathered here today for one reason and one reason alone, The auction" his hoarse, and very strange voice resounded in the room, he sounded like he was wheezing and trying to make a sentence at the same time, like there was something stuck in his throat stopping the words from coming out clearly.The other men agreed nodding their heads and looking at each other."The reason why we're here to discuss that" he muttered his eyes landing on Spade "is because we want to host this year's auction here in New York" he finished, Spade almost didn't hear him correctly.Did he just say he was going to bring this year's auction to New York?It has never happened Before, not once in 20 years, so why now? Why sudden
Both men stood at the most deserted part of the area, the place was completely empty and devoid of any human, well partly because the dock was mostly used for business transaction involving moving of shipment through water, and secondly because it was pretty dark out, only the chirping of crickets could be heard as they chirped and hopped loudly."What are we doing here Spade" the blonde of the two men asked as they both stood by the harbour where the huge ships and mini boats were at."We're here to meet someone" Spade grunted as his eyes raked over the huge, long extended metal containers used for holding shipments.The person they were meeting was in one of them.Matteo looked at Spade his eyes bearing a lot of questions and his thoughts already asking the questions."At the dock? we're meeting someone at the dock, Spade do you know how dangerous it is, with just the two of us"? He asked and Spade just gave him a bored expression, before sighing out"If I didn't know any better I'd
"You haven't been waiting too long, have you"? Spade's deep voice muttered looking at the man in front of him.He just shook his head"Matteo here has been keeping my company, he can be quite funny you know" he said playfully and Spade just nodded, and Matteo made a gestured bow with a small smile on his face."What do you have for me Rufus"? He asked and the man just sighed, he leaned on the table"The good stuff, like always" he muttered before putting his hands in his pocket and pulling out a small white paper bag, containing white substance, and passing it on the table to Spade.He takes the small white paper bag from Rufus and examines it before tearing it open.Using his index finger, he scoops a small quantity of it and takes it to his mouth, tasting the stuff and smacking his mouth."500 kilos of that, pure cocaine, waiting for pick up" he muttered looking at Spade and then Matteo, Spade passes the same white substance to Matteo and he does exactly what Spade did, tasting it.
He had never woken up this late before for work, he was extremely late and he knew it.And he had an early morning meeting to get toHe rushed out of his apartment and headed for the elevator, passing through the empty hallway, with his keys and his hair barely combed, the elevator was about closing but he was fast enough to slid in."Sorry" he muttered to the blonde man in the elevator, who just gave him a small smileShoving his hands into his pocket.Nate was panting hard, as he tried to catch his breath, he wasn't one to keep fit, actually it's been a while he ran this fast.The blonde man looked at him, studying his features from head to toe, quite young, unruly brownish curls, not bulky at all, in fact he could be classified as lean and small.This guy didn't look dangerous at all, he was quite young to even pose a threat to anyone, just 22.He was still panting hard as the blonde man watched him, he was two, maybe three inches taller and could see a lot from up.Why did Spade t
After a long and tiring day at work, he was finally home.He let out a deep sigh of relief as he stepped into his apartment, taking off his suit jacket, he flung it on the couch and slumped on it heavily.He was exhausted beyond measures, he looked at his wristwatch and it was only 7:30pm, he still had an hour plus before the meeting he had.He closed his eyes for a minute to take a quick nap, his mind drifted to the supposed meeting he had tonight, usually his father always deal with things like this, because according to him, Nate was too much of a coward to handle it without screwing it up.Why the sudden change of heart?Did his father suddenly think he was brave enough to handle it?And why at Lust? Of all places his father had to go choose Lust, the one place he didn't want to be in.He had been thinking about it all day.Was the meeting with Spade?No he doubt his father will entrust such kind of tasks to him, Spade is dangerous and very important, if it was him then his father
Spade had just stopped his car in front of the club, he got out, looking Sharp and ready for business, before taking long strides towards the entrance of the building.The men on the entrance gave him a Curt nod before holding the door open for him, he walked inside, hit with loud music his eyes darted round the dimly lit room with neon lights room, and he let out a deep breath.Stopping just at the bar counter with his eyes, he narrowed them at the figure perched there, holding a brown envelope in his hands, more like clutching it like his life depended on it.He kept moving his head from left to right as if searching for someone, his whole posture was tense and he looked nervous.Spade would recognize that hair anywhere, even in the midst of a million people.What the hell is he doing here?With the envelope in his hands, he already knew the answer to that.He could easily just pretend not to see him and just walk away but something was itching him to go over there, have a closer lo
He opened his eyes panting hard and sweating profusely, he squinted his eyes trying to adjust it to the darkness, he didn't remember turning off his light last night, infact he never goes to sleep with his lights off.He could barely see in the dark, but he could feel the hard surface which his back was on, this doesn't feel like his soft, feathery mattress, this felt like a solid rock, pinching into his back.He tried to move so he could turn on the lights, something was wrong.He couldn't move, his hands felt like something was holding them back, tight and thin, he tried again and he felt the sting on his wrists, his hands were tied to whatever surface he was lying on.His legs too felt like they were being pulled apart, spread wide and tied to something, he was vulnerable.His heart rate spiked as he looked around frantically, barely able to move his head.He starts hearing muffled cries from his side, he couldn't pinpoint which side it was coming from, the person sniffled again ma
"I want everything to be perfect" Nate muttered out and his sister just looked at him worriedly as she finally laughed"And it will be Nate, just relax" she said putting her hand on his shoulder "we have the rooftop booked and I checked earlier today, the place has been decorated just like you asked, and the cake is ready, even Spade's outfit has been sent, it's in the bedroom" she explained to him and he just sighed out and placed his hand on his waistHe needed everything to go as planned, he wanted the night to be a memorable night for Spade, after everything they'd been through, Spade deserved this, he even made sure it was at the restaurant they had their first date as friends.He had been stressing about this for weeks and now the day was finally here, he even avoided Spade just so he wouldn't make a mistake and slip up, he knew Spade was worried that they'd been drifting apart, but if only the man knew what Nate had planned for him.He even got them both matching tuxedos, every
One month laterSpade stood in the cell, watching Salvatore, who he had insisted he would keep an extra one month before he would torture, possibly kill, after Nate had asked him to do whatever he pleased with the man.Nate had surprised him when he told Salvatore that he had forgiven him, infact since he met the young man well over six months ago, all Nate had been doing was surprising him.He folded the sleeves of his shirt as he watched Salvatore like a predator watching it's pretty, waiting for a good time to strike."What are you doing here Spade? I thought your fag of a boyfriend forgave me"? Salvatore spat at him, causing him to raise his brows at the crude language Salvatore had used on Nate.He stalked towards a table in the cell, he had it brought there that morning, it had every torture equipment he'd ever used.He picked up two small knives first, then shook his head, smacking his lips"You see Salvatore, my boyfriend may have forgiven you, something I still can't seem to
Spade sighed out still looking at Nate, he gently brought his hand and tried to hold Nate's hand, but the young man just shrugged it off, trying to move away from Spade "Baby what's wrong"? He asked, watching as Nate snickered and scrunched his nose up, he turned to look at Spade with disbelief dancing in his eyes."Are you seriously asking me that" Nate whispered out, and Spade sighed before he sat down on the bedside beside Nate"I'm sorry" he whispered, causing Nate to scoff, Spade didn't know what else to say at that point, that was all he could come up with, he really didn't have any excuse to give."I know I should have listened to you, I shouldn't have left that day" he added, this didn't even seem to pacify Nate as he only turned further away from Spade.Spade grabbed both his hands and held them firmly "please look at me Nate" he whispered, his voice sounded as if he was close to tears, but Nate wasn't sure someone like Spade was capable of crying.Not that he wanted Spade t
Spade sat watching the beautiful man he had come to love with his very existence, if need be he was ready to die for Nate, actually the night he'd gone after Sullivan, he'd hoped he'd die so he could at least see Nate and talk with him one last time, but death didn't come that easy for him, especially for him.It had been approximately one month since Nate was shot and he slipped into coma, one month that Spade had to live without Nate, a very sour and bad experience for him.He'd barely left his side, he even stopped working, Matteo handled the mafia while he never left Nate's side, he didn't want to miss the day when Nate would wake up, although he was beginning to lose hope of that ever happening, even though the doctors had said Nate was responding to treatment and was close to waking up, he didn't see any improvement.It was the sane thing everyday and the beeping sound of the machine Nate was hooked on was getting on his nerve, some days he wanted to have at it and smash it to p
Spade took long strides towards the basement of his mansion, the dungeon where he was told Salvatore was being kept, he hadn't gotten a wink of rest, after leaving the hospital, he called Stefano, asking the man about something he'd asked him to do a while back, and luck was on his side because Stefano already had it under control, giving Spade even more push than he expected.He stepped into the basement and walked right into the barred cells, in the middle of it, Salvatore was tied to a chair, his wounded leg had been tended to, Spade had ordered that, he didn't want the man to die just yet Death was too easy for someone like him, Spade would make him suffer, but first he needed information from the man.He shoved his hands into his pocket, as Salvatore looked up and had a grin on his face when he saw Spade."I thought you had forgotten about me" he muttered, Spade didn't say anything to him, he just watched him with great contempt and rage.He clenched his jaw as he watched the ma
The drive was one of the longest Spade had ever had to endure in his entire life, he kept taking quick glances at Nate on his thighs, at a point he thought the young man had finally given in to his wounds, but the shallow breath that left his slightly parted lips, gave Spade a small but of hopeHe didn't know he was this impatient, not until he had to sit in the back of the car with Nate as he watched Matteo drive, it was as though the blonde wasn't even driving fast at all.But after the unending and torturing drive, they finally arrived at the hospital, he didn't even wait for Matteo to help him out before he got out of the car and scooped Nate up bridal style, rushing him into the hospital.For once he was grateful he'd settle his issue with Garcia, because now he didn't have to go through the excruciating stress of answering stupid questions from the cops about how Nate got shot or whatnot.He kicked the doors open as he rushed into the hospital, with Matteo right behind him, one
Running through the corridor, Spade took the nearest left turn that led down another corridor, okay Matteo was right, this place was a fucking maze, he was running when he almost bumped into Matteo, who was also headed towards the same direction."Was that you"? He asked breathlessly and Matteo just shook his head"I thought it was you" he muttered, and Spade clenched his jaws "and it's not Bernie, because he's with me" "Shit" Spade cussed out, he knew it wasn't Nico or Vince, he left them downstairs, he rushed towards where they had heard the sound, with Matteo right behind him, as they kept meeting more corridors on the way, making it even hard to decipher where the sound had come from.They took another turn, both of them already hoping this would be the last one, because it seemed they were getting lost in this house.They both stopped in their tracks at the foot of the corridor, it was just as long as the others, but he didn't bother looking at the end, because what he was seein
Spade was tense, the air in the car was somewhat awkward and intense, they were already on their way to the location where Nate was being kept, he knew he shouldn't be so reliant on his gut feeling but something inside him was telling him that no doubt Nate would be where they were headed.All the other hints they'd gotten over the past few weeks have all led to dead ends but none gave him this strong belief inside.They had taken two cars, he was riding with Matteo and Bernie, surprisingly Stefano had asked to ride with the other guy that was going with them, for some odd reason it felt weird that for the last hour Stefano had been with them, he hadn't tried to annoy Matteo as usual.Spade could tell something was wrong, especially with the way Matteo had also gone completely silent and his mood somber since they set out on the drive.He'd asked the blonde about it but he just said he was kind of nervous about where they were headed, but Spade knew he was lying, nothing ever fazed Ma
He was sitting at the head of the table, a few of his men were seated around the huge conference room, Matteo was sitting by his right as usual, while Bernie was on his left.True to what he'd ordered Matteo to do, the blonde had called some of his men into the conference room for the meeting, and he looked more alive than he had done in days, hope was evident on his face and it was much stronger in his heart.Something in his gut feeling told him this wasn't just a hunch, he could feel it deep down that he was going to find Nate.He looked at the chairs and it was just Vince, Nico and Murphy, one of his very good shooter, the guy was good with a sniper, he didn't want to have all of his men here, not because he didn't trust them but because the smaller the team, the faster and efficient they would be."I'm sure most of you already know why I called for this meeting"? Spade's voice bounced off the walls of the room, making them to nod, as that was making it even easier for him, he did
