Chapter 3.

Antonio POV.

As soon as I saw her step out of the changing room with Sarah, I was drawn to her. My eyes locked on the image on the monitors in front of me, my heartbeat sped up, my throat felt dry, and my cock jerked to life. Fucking hell.

I watched her all night from the office as she prowled around the customers and flirted and laughed with them. She is a goddamn tiger. Her green eyes flash with the lights, her red plump lips are begging to be kissed, sucked and bitten. Don’t even get me started on her body. It was made for sin; it was made for me.

“What has got your attention?” I ignore my brother as he rounds the desk and sees what I am looking at.

“Jesus Christ. She is stunning, beautiful even. Wow! New girl?” he asks. Gianni has never been known for his subtlety. No, he is the kind to take what he wants and ask questions later. That is why he is not in charge. He is too impulsive.

“Yeah, it would appear so.” I say, rubbing my lip with my thumb as I watch her put a handsy asshole in his place and I groan out. She is what I need, a woman who will put me in my place. Who won’t take shit and can defend herself.

“I call dibs.” I roll my eyes at him and give him a look. He just shrugs his shoulders like it’s no big deal. Well, the joke is on him. If anyone is calling dibs, it is me. I saw her first. Yes, I am a possessive bastard when it comes to what is mine, and I don’t fucking share what is mine. Any other woman, yeah, sure. But this little tiger is mine and mine alone.

“We shall see, brother.” I say, standing and rolling my sleeves as I move towards the door of the office and make my way into the corridor. The base vibrates through the floor as I walk with the purpose of finding my little tiger.

Walking past rooms, I can hear and see what is going on inside. Two women on the bed with a man behind one who is eating out the other. The woman on her back is pulling her nipples and moans her head thrown backwards. As the woman licks and sucks on her clit. The man behind her is fucking her ass and I smirk as I walk past.

Walking to the top of the stairs, I scan the area and see her. I move down the stairs and make my way to the bar when she stumbles and I move to grab her before her forehead hits the bar.

I feel static run through my hand that is on her arm as I pull her into my chest. Her breasts threaten to spill out of the bra as I crush her to me. Her breath catches in her throat and I think my heart just stopped. She is more beautiful up close. Sorry Gianni, this tiger is mine.

“Easy, tiger.” I say to her, and she looks mesmerised, but she quickly apologises and looks away. Her voice is small, but you can’t mistake that southern drawl. So my little tiger is from the south. She is beautiful.

After I introduce myself, she stiffens slightly, but that is to be expected. It’s not everyday you come face to face with one of the most dangerous men in the country. I’m sucked into her green eyes and my eyes dart to her red plump lips and I desperately want to taste them.

When she tells me her name, I’m gone. I know this woman in my arms will quickly be my downfall. But as much as I should walk away and have her taken care of, I can’t. She seems vulnerable and alone. So I go against my gut and call her bellissimo.

“Thank you, I guess. I’m sorry sir,” I raise an eyebrow at her again and she blushes, biting her bottom lip before she corrects herself. “Antonio, I mean. Thank you again for saving this clumsy damsel. I have to get back to work. I don’t want my boss to fire me on my first night,” she says with a nervous chuckle, and I smile at her.

“Oh, I don’t think he would mind. Besides, I have been watching you all night and I think you deserve a break, don’t you?” I ask her and she looks around, her eyes darting everywhere but at me.

“Look at me, tiger. Do you even know who your boss is?” I ask her, and she shakes her head. She looks up again and I can see she is not lying.

“No, Antonio, I don’t.” She bats her long lashes at me as she shifts on her feet.

“I am your boss. So you are ok and I give you permission to take a break.” I tell her and her eyes widen and she inhales sharply at the confession. Fuck me. I would confess everything to her on my knees. She is too perfect and innocent.

Why would a beautiful and innocent girl move here and want to work here? I need to do some digging. A woman like this must be running from something and I will be damned if I will have her feel like she isn’t safe.

“How about this? You let me take you for coffee one day next week. I would really like to get to know you. I know it is forward, but I can’t help it.” I say to her and she giggles. My cock has just become impossibly harder, and it’s painful.

“I would have to think about it.” She says as she bites her bottom lip. Oh, the game is on tiger. I’m not letting you go so easily. If there is anything I love, it is the chase. And I will chase her and then tie her to my damn bed. As I worship her with my tongue, lips, and cock.

“Think about it, Bobbi-Jane. I would love to show you around town. Get to know you even if it is as friends. I bet you don’t have many?” I ask her and she looks down again before she looks up at me through her lashes.

“You’re right, I don’t. I moved here a week ago.” She says, and I smile softly at her.

“Ok, I will contact you. I have your information in the office. That’s if it is ok with you?” I ask her, searching her green eyes, and she nods her head and smiles at me.

“Yes, that would be nice. Thank you Antonio. But I really must get back to work.” She says, and I sigh and nod my head.

“Ok, tiger. Get back to work.” I release her and make sure she is steady on her feet and step back from her and she turns and moves towards the bar once more and waits for the order she has just placed. I can’t help but look at her from behind. The way she leans over the bar, her back arches beautifully as she pushes her round ass out. Fuck!

Oh Bobbi-Jane, my little tiger, you will be mine and mine alone. But for now, I need to find a mouth or pussy to fuck. I pull out my cell and ring the name that is always eager to please me.

“Hey baby. What can I do for you?” she asks innocently, with a giggle. But it does nothing to me. I growl in frustration.

“Meet me at my house, clothes off, wet and ready. No talking, just do as you are told.” I tell her and she sighs.

“Fine, I’ll be there. But Antonio, why not let Gianni play as well? You know how I love being filled by you both.” She purrs and I roll my eyes as I walk back to the office to grab my jacket and keys.

“Just do what you agreed to. You do this, then after tonight you are free.” I say to her and she gasps. Yes, I’m a bastard.

Carmella has been only one of the long list of women who have pleasured me since I took over as Don twelve years ago.

Carmella has been my fuck-toy for the past three years, well, one of them. She is loyal and so we had a deal. She would be at my beck and call and when I felt it was the right time, I would cut her loose, and it seems tonight will be the last time.

“As you wish, see you soon, baby.” She says and I hang up. As of tomorrow, I am pursuing my tiger, my Bobbi-Jane, and no one and nothing will stop me.
