His Desires

Acker’s POV

She was smiling now.

I didn’t notice it before but I liked it when she smiled.

The dinner had been a planned event, one which I had been able to pull off without that bastard Serrano coming along. The restaurant was owned by a connection who was able to give me the best in the building without hesitation.

“I can’t believe it!” She was laughing now, her head thrown back. “You really did that?”

I hummed in agreement and signaled the host that was on standby close to the table for the bill.

Alicia didn’t notice the interaction much between the host and I, for she was still chuckling over one of my stories, one which I never meant to tell her, but chose to. It was supposed to ease the strange tension I had noticed in her expression and body language.

Reaching my arm out for her to take, I wondered what it was that made me so interested in her. Women weren’t a vice i usually indulged in, unlike Serrano. I was more prone to getting my frustrations out with the use of violence.
