Wade checked his watch. 12 pm. Exactly midnight. He scanned his surroundings, squinting in the dark before he heard footsteps behind him. Wade turned around.A dark figure walked out from the shadow, approaching him. The night was dark but from the lights from the nearby buildings, Wade could make out the shape of the person in front of him. Male, taller than him, and stronger too. There was something about this person that Wade couldn't quite put it. He had a feeling in his gut that something wasn't right."Hey, what's up for dinner?" Wade said the code word, one hand tucked in his trousers pocket casually. "Cheese and hamburger," the contact replied in a gruff voice. "Alright. You sure are full on that one, huh?"The man nodded."You got what I wanted? Hand it over," Wade suppressed a down frown and pressed a button on a small device that was in his pocket before he pulled his hand out, acting cool.There was a slight hesitation from the contact. He then took out a small thumb dr
A knife danced between his fingers as Vincenzo played with it casually, casting a bored glance at his desk. Honestly his sister was a pain in the ass. All she wanted was his attention because some guy she was chasing was afraid of her. Who wouldn't? They were all part of the infamous Luciano family, a crime family that kills and do dangerous things for a living, the family behind one of the largest gangs in the world. The guy was just some hot dude she met at one of their family owned clubs. He saw the guy's picture and wondered how she found him attractive. Nothing about the guy seems attractive to him, apart from the fact that he had a beautiful muscular body and greyish blue eyes. He had to listen to her whining and complaining before Alvin called for an emergency.Nothing of the guy she was crushing on could compare to him. It has been only 24 hours yet he couldn't get that face out of his head. That police officer's face kept appearing in front of him whether he shut his eyes o
Wade didn't know how long he had been asleep, he blinked and his eyes opened. He was in a room, his thigh was bandaged. A faint red patch could be seen underneath the white bandages. Sunlight poured into the room from the windows, illuminating his surroundings.The room he was in seemed like a house or a VVIP hospital ward. He sprang up from his bed and looked left and right. You're up," a low deadpan voice said next to his ear."Ahh! Shit! You scared me! Y-you!" Wade had a hand over his chest dramatically as he looked in surprise at the man.Vincenzo was seated by his bedside, with what seemed like a half smile half smirk on his face. He chuckled."Breakfast is over there. Wash up carefully and eat," Vincenzo said and stood up. His suit was crumpled more than usual and his sexy reddish brown hair was slightly out of place. In one word, he looked tired as if he didn't sleep for the night.Wade observed his surroundings, noticing no guns or dangerous weapons and no prison bars. He mus
"Hmm... You eat like a king. Won't you get fat? No offence. I'm just saying," Wade picked up his fork and knife, and immediately went to work on the bacon and eggs. "Do I need to take off my shirt to prove my body to you?" Vincenzo replied. Take off his shirt? Wade looked at Vincenzo and knew that he must be muscular all over. The bastard's hands were slightly larger than his, his neck was very thick, no doubt were those muscles and he was taller than him. "Really? Would you take off your shirt now? That would make me lose appetite and you might end up wasting the meal," Wade joked. The maid's eyes widened but she didn't say a thing. If that wasn't flirting, then she don't know what it was. "Soon, I'll make you lose your appetite for three meals a day," Vincenzo smiled. Wade didn't know what that meant but it didn't sound like anything good. "Maya, leave us," Vincenzo said to the maid."Yes, boss," Maya said politely and left, wondering what the boss was going to talk about wit
Wade tried to fight the feelings, the way his stomach tightened, the desire coursing through his veins as Vincenzo made love to his neck, shoulder and collarbone, but it didn't help as Wade found himself shaking with desire, desire to be touched by him. His teeth grazed lightly over his skin, leaving a dull pain but a sweet sensation. Vincenzo never knew that he would enjoy Wade's neck tremendously to this point. "Oh, Wade. Don't you know how sweet you are?" Vincenzo whispered huskily in his ears. Wade shivered, out of breath to protest. He squeezed his eyes shut. Fuck, why was he feeling this strange thing with Vincenzo? He shouldn't be enjoying it, yet his body was betraying him, replying to Vincenzo's moves. His hand slipped underneath Wade's shirt where he found his nipples. Wade's eyes widened. "No, Vincenzo, wait! What are you trying to do-" A moan tore from Wade's lips, an unwanted one. Vincenzo smirked darkly, his fingers rolling and squeezing Wade's pink nipple. "You l
What was going on? Vincenzo wasn't here yet he kept thinking about him, especially the way he touched him earlier."Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Wade cursed and puffed out angry air. He wanted to punch himself to get the ridiculous thought out of his head. "Are you okay?" Alvin glanced at him questioningly. The man seated in front of him him was acting strange and muttering some words to himself. "What? No, yeah, I'm fine," Wade shook it off with a smile. "Uh, so, um.. back to the question. What's your relationship with Edward Mattson? Why were the two of you in contact? You do know who he is, right?" "The billionaire businessman who deals with technology and weapons," To be honest, Alvin didn't know if he should be saying this or not, but Vincenzo didn't tell him to lie. So he answered as honestly as he could. When it comes to weapons and businessman being spotted with a top Mafia member, Wade could guess how Edward Mattson got his extra pocket money from. "I've seen him that night. He ap
"That's a good question," Vincenzo smiled at him. "You're gonna regret this," Wade smiled back at him, the corners of his lips curved."Then let's play a game instead of accompanying me. If you can win, you can go. But if you lose, you'll have to stay. Sounds fair?" Wade was still furious over the kiss and groping during breakfast. So this time he was determine to be winner and get the fuck out of this fucked up place. He couldn't wait to rub his victory in Vincenzo's shitty face. "Fine," he agreed. "What type of game? Truth or dare? Snooker? Race? Who pulls the gun and shoots the other dead first?""Those games are too lame," Vincenzo said."How about this? I'll set the rules," Wade suggested slyly. If he lets Vincenzo set it, he knew that Vincenzo would make things hard and play tricks. This time, he will make sure he has the upper hand. "So what do you say? Sounds fair?" Wade's lips spreaded into a smile."Fair enough," Vincenzo resist the urge to kiss that fucking dimple off h
Wade almost fell into temptation, gazing into Vincenzo's eyes, being so close to him that it felt like he was getting burnt by his body temperature, but he managed to keep it in control. If something like this happens again, he doesn't think he can hold it together. His gaze somehow kept on circling on Vincenzo's lips. No, he was a bloodthirsty psychotic murderer. He killed many cops and people. Ha hates cops. Wade told himself. One day, he would put him behind bars and never see him again. He shouldn't be LIKE this. Wade knew what fucking thing he was feeling for that bastard. Wade has never questioned his sexuality before. Growing up, he found himself attracted to all the pretty girls and dudes in school, hanging around them and playing around. It was all casual flings between them. Could it really be that he liked... liked men? Wade hired an Uber and returned to the station, limping. Mark who has been looking and calling for him non stop ran to him the moment he spotted him. "
Wade came home, carrying a few bags of groceries. He dumped everything into the fridge and went to search for Vincenzo."Hey, I’m going to cook dinner. Don’t blame me if you get diarrhea!" he called.Vincenzo emerged from upstairs, all dressed up in a suit. He fixed his tie and cuffs.Dressed like a businessman, Wade couldn’t keep his eyes off him. Even in proper clothing, Vincenzo was hot as fuck."Let’s skip the cooking. Go on a date,""Well, I’ve never been out on a proper date," Wade said, suddenly feeling nervous."Then it’s a first. Get dressed up. I’m not in the mood for diarrhea tonight,"Wade realized that he didn’t have many clothes. All he had were normal T-shirts and sweaters—nothing attractive or matching with Vincenzo. They were indeed worlds apart.H
After stitching Vincenzo up, Marianna gave some instructions on how to care for his wound. She made sure Wade jotted them down.Wade had a notepad and pen in his hands. He followed her back and forth while she spoke, as if she were giving a lecture in class."He has a tendency to split open his wounds before they heal. Keep an eye on your boyfriend. Oh, and," she pulled Wade to the side and whispered, "He likes—"She patted his shoulders and headed toward the door. "Don’t need to see me out. I know the door very well.""You seem close," Wade said. He watched her leave and decided he might like this doctor."She’s the gang doctor, coming over every now and then when one of us cracks a bone," Vincenzo explained."I’m going to order some takeout," Wade said.Perhaps one day he should learn how to cook. The food arrive
"Shit! What a perfect way to wipe out all the evidence," He was sure that by the next morning, there would be news claiming a gas spill or someone smoking at the factory had caused it to blow up. His gaze fell on Vincenzo's injured arm. Fuck, Vincenzo needed medical attention right away.Wade didn’t dare take him to the hospital for fear of being recognized. So he brought him back home and looked for the first aid kit."Where’s the damn kit?""I don’t know.""What?! You’re bleeding out here, and you don’t even know where it is?!""How would I know? I’ve never been shot many times before. I was always careful," Vincenzo shrugged weakly. Wade looked away from him, guilt creeping into his chest. Careful. Until he met me."I’m calling the doc," Wade said, frustration spilling out. His boyfriend was bleeding out, and yet he was so damn calm. Honestly, things like death freaked Wade out. They made him feel powerless and useless—a feeling he hated and despised."No.""Yes. We are calling the
Wade never expected that the man who had taught him this and that since the day he joined the police turned out to be the one behind all of this. Then what was the relationship between them? Did Bennett count it as nothing but a façade?Memories of him and Bennett laughing, celebrating, and drinking together resurfaced. Wade didn’t know what to make of it. Bennett was clean! Spotless! Wasn’t his record clear as day?! How could this have happened?As much as he didn’t want to admit it, he knew that he had been lied to and cheated by Bennett. He was used and made a fool of. Anger swelled in his chest, but he could only swallow it down. Now, his lover’s life was on the line. Benefits. What benefits did Dominic offer him?If Bennett was here, then their lives were in huge trouble. It was possible that Dominic was on the way.What did Bennett have to do with Gordon? Vincenzo wondered."What are you to Gordon?" Vincenzo asked.Bennett had a cocky look as he looked him over."Want to know? I
Wasn’t that Bennett’s voice? But what was he doing here? Undercover like him?Vincenzo froze. His hand tightened its hold on Wade’s, reluctant to let go. However, Wade pulled his hand out of Vincenzo’s."Who are you?" Wade asked, caution laced in his tone. Vincenzo gripped the knife hidden underneath his jacket."Wade?" Bennett was surprised. Wade turned around and came face-to-face with the old chief."Bennett, why are you here?!" From surprise to shock to happiness flashed across his eyes.Bennett’s eyes floated over to Vincenzo, and they widened in fear. He raised his gun at Vincenzo, scowling."Wait, no! He's with me. Bennett, please put your gun down," Wade stood between them, a hand reached out to calm Bennett down."Isn’t he in prison? What the fuck is he doing here?!" Bennett glared at Vincenzo.
"Isn't that true?" Wade cocked an eyebrow."Untrue," Vincenzo grabbed him and pressed him against the wall."Shit, what are you doing? Not here! Why can't you keep your hands to yourself?""Says the one who has been seducing me right from the start," Vincenzo breathed against Wade's cheeks and ears, causing his heart to jump wildly in his chest."Honeydew, I can order you around as much as I want, and you're gonna listen, is that clear?"Wade took a deep breath to calm his racing heart. Vincenzo always had some kind of magical effect on him. Every time he was near, it made him feel like he could drop everything he was doing and rush to him, hold him, hug him, and stay with him."In private, yes. But I'll bite, and you don't want to know how hard I can bite," Wade said, warning him.However, Vincenzo looked pleased. "Then bite me. Bite me
They crept together into the factory."Are we working together, or...""Don’t disturb me, or ruin my plans," Wade said."I think you’d better return," Vincenzo latched onto his wrist."Why?""It’s dangerous, I don’t want you to get hurt."Wade jerked his hand out of Vincenzo’s grip and glared at him."I’m doing this,""You don’t have to prove yourself to anyone anymore. I know you’re capable, baby. Your father doesn’t appreciate you, but I do,"Hearing that, tears stung his eyes. Wade took a deep breath."It’s not about proving myself to anyone. It’s about justice,""Are you sure?""We can work together," Wade nodded."Huh, pretty coming out of your
"Are you okay? I haven't been able to get in touch with you," Jessica said, looking worried. She watched Wade paced the room back and forth, reading heaps of files."I'm doing fine. Just busy.""You're always busy. Your cousin Nicholas came over and said hi.""Oh, what else did he say? Badmouth me behind my back?""No. He talked about the meetings and the board of directors. He doesn’t want the CEO seat," Jessica said. "That’s a lot of money sitting there. Plus, your father’s getting old. He’s desperate for a successor. It’s a family business after all."Wade stopped in his tracks and sighed. "Are you asking me to go back?""Why would I? That’s up to you. I was just thinking if the two of you could sit down peacefully and not claw at each other’s throats. But it looks impossible. I’m not going to bother ab
"Oh really? How did you know that?" Vincenzo was surprised."I was wondering why the drugs in the city have gotten lower than before. I called Francesca and asked her. Thanks, Vincenzo," Wade said, looking touched."No need to thank me, amado. Everything I do is for you.""Why did you become a cop? Is it solely because of your mother?""Because I fucking hate crimes," Wade replied."But I do crime," Vincenzo said, casting a complicated look at him.."Crime, not you," Wade said. How could he hate the man who took away his pain, picked him up when he was at his lowest moment, and gave him the warmth he craved?"Then why did you become a Mafia member?""It runs in the family. I don’t get to choose where or when I was born,""If you had a chance, would you still choose to become a Mafia me
