NathanStanding in front of the conference room, I mentally prepared myself for what I'd meet on the other side of the double doors that stared back at me.For the millionth time I let out a deep breath, feeling my palms sweaty and my heart beating fast, I closed and opened my eyes for more than five times.It's gonna be okay, I kept chanting to myself.There's gonna be people there, not just the both of us, but my mind would still drift to his side.I wished I could just turn around and high tail out of here but I can't, I can't leave just like that, sooner or later I have to face him, and if there's one thing I've learnt over time, is that sooner is better than later.Throwing caution to the wind, I pushed the doors gently and stepped inside, even without seeing him, I could already feel the air in the conference room shift, everything became cooler and more intense.I discreetly let out a deep breath as my eyes moved up and scanned the room, seeing the familiar faces of the men I'd
Spade stared at him, drinking in his facial features, the bruises on his face were already fading, they weren't as obvious as they were about a week ago, even his steps weren't a limp like the last time he saw him.If he thought he was nervous before seeing Nate, he was damn wrong, he was more nervous and jittery after seeing him.He couldn't even look away from him during the meeting, he's never been so open about wanting someone so bad but with Nate it's not like he was doing it on purpose, it was happening on it's own.And it was slowly driving him crazy.Him giving Nate two weeks and complete and total control of the resources he needed today wasn't because he was okay risking that much money, but because he wanted the meeting to be done with so he could talk to him.And now he had that opportunity staring at him in the face, but he didn't even know what to say.The great Spade, the devil himself, didn't know what to say, losing his nerves in front of someone, his inner self was m
SpadeI kept going after stacks and stacks of paper as my eyes were already feeling heavy on their own, like my lids were carrying a heavy weight that prevented them from staying open on their own.I ran a tired hand down my face as I tried to clear the heaviness in my eyes, I let out a deep breath as I tried to make sense of the paper in front of me.I could feel the tiredness in my bones, everything ached in my body but I couldn't go to sleep, not because I didn't want to but because I couldn't.I was here working non stop, not because I needed to but because I had to, I couldn't bring myself to fall asleep, for fear of overthinking everything.I had never been one to overthink things but recently I found myself doing that a lot, and it was kind of affecting me.I shut my eyes, feeling my head ache with a strong pain, it felt like a rope was tied around my head and being pulled in so many direction.All this thoughts was because of one person.Small pale hands, pink perfect lips, br
Spade parked his car outside his warehouse, it had been a while he had been here, since the whole Nate issue and the marriage contract, he seemed to be too occupied to even come check on the warehouse, thank God he had Matteo and a few other trusted men here that were keeping an eye on things for him.He stepped out of the car and walked towards the metallic doors, pulling it open he stepped inside the cold warehouse, facing a flight of stairs that led down to where all operations were being carried out, he took the stairs, walking down with power and confidence.He reached the end of the stairs and pulled open the metal door, making a loud creaking sound, he stepped inside the huge room.It was not crowded today with too much of his men, there was a round table in one corner of the room as men gathered around playing cards and cheering, on another part of the room was another table, some of his men were there with guns, cleaning and arranging them.He stalked by the men on each table
Nate stepped out of the bedroom, his hair dripping with water, slowly wetting the grey tank top he was putting on, he had on black sweatpants as he walked towards the couch"Sorry I took so long" he apologized taking a seat on the couch just beside Matteo "I decided to take a shower" he muttered nervously as Matteo just smiled and waved it away"It's okay" he muttered his eyes trained on Nate, the kid was fiddling with his fingers on his thighs, Matteo could feel the nervousness oozing out of him, drinking in his facial features, his hair was dark brownish, like evening wet dust, with his pale face adorned with small dark spots and his lips, those almost invincible skin that rested on his face, his brown eyes looking away and around the roomMatteo could understand why Spade found him interesting, he could see how the kid was able to catch Spade's attention this much.With the amount of innocence he radiated, it was easy to catch anyone's attention.The fact that he was clueless to al
Getting to the huge building of the event, Nate stopped his car and looked out the window, what he hated most about things like this, were the many people always present, he sighed out, flexing his fingers on the steering before he pulled out his car keys from ignition, took his phone and stepped out of the car His eyes raked through the red carpet and they were all busy taking pictures, while the media asked unnecessary questions as always, he fixed his tux and took long strides towards the entrance of the building, avoiding the flashes of the cameras, he passed through the many people on the red carpet all making different noises and chattering.He pushed the double glass doors and stepped into the huge hall, his eyes moving from the beginning to the end of the hall, his eyes moved up to the huge golden glass decorated chandelier hanging up in the ceiling, round tables with chairs surrounding them with beautiful decorations filled the hall, this wasn't like the usual events he atte
The man that had come to invite Nate to his table had scurried off the minute Spade showed up, Nate's eyes swept through his body, he was putting on a deep navy blue suit, white buttoned up shirt inside, no tie, the first button on his shirt was undone and Nate could see the few chest hair peeking out, and the shimmering necklace he had on.Nate's eyes moved up until they stopped on the hard, emotionless, grey eyes, he swallowed as he watched Spade stare at him, his skin was burning as if Spade's eyes were laser beams and they would cut through to him any secondJaw clenched and his face blank as he glared down at Nate, he wanted to recoil back and hide away in fear, he could feel every resolve he'd tried to build off since the last time they met, wash away with the shivers that ran down his spine."What are you doing here"? He gritted out, his hard, hoarse and emotionless voice sent a heavy tremors through Nate's body as he felt himself shudder a bit.Nate fought the urge to chew on
Nate was dumbfounded and shocked to the core, watching the bullet go straight through the strange man standing on the podium, he watched it all happen in the blink of an eye and before he knew it, the man feel down with a thud.He'd watched someone get killed before but it didn't make the feeling of throwing up right now go away, it didn't make watching another one any better, instead he felt more shitty and shaken than before.Spade hadn't even seen the whole thing go down, while he was looking around the hall, Nate had witnessed it and it was the reason why he was still shaking visibly as he felt the sweat in his palms become much and moist.He was still on the spot Spade had left him about a few seconds ago, he could hear his heartbeat as each thump felt like his heart was seconds away from exploding.With his parted lips, his throat was parched and dry.He could still hear multiple gunshots in the background, if he knew he would have stayed home, he wasn't cut out for this.The mo
