Spending A Year With The Ruthless Mafia Don
I poured out my heart to him, telling him everything and not leaving a single part out of it. "Please, Don Xander, I will be grateful if you could grant me just this one wish" I begged desperately, my voice cracking at the end, even though I tried so hard to stay strong.
He tilted his head to one side and smirked. "I can do that for you" he said, and my eyes beam with happiness immediately.
"But..." He trailed off, swirling his drink in his hand. "What do I get in return for helping you? After all, it's all about give and take"
My jaw dropped instantly. His playboy attitude playing in my head. "I... I can't... I mean, I'm sorry Don Xander but I'm not the type of girl who sleeps around with men. If it's okay with you, I can work for you instead" I suggested.
He wave his index finger, shaking his head. "No, Bella" he said in a low, husky voice. Then, he rose from his seat and walked towards to me, his movement graceful and deliberate.
I shivered, still seated as he crouched beside me. He leaned closer to my face and I tilted my head to look at him in the eyes.
"If I will help you..." he whispered, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine. "You must give me something in return"
"What do you want?" I asked in a low voice.
His eyes gleamed with intensity. "I want you, Isabella" he whispered, his lips grazing my ear.
I jerked back, shocked by his request. "Don Xander!" I exclaimed, my voice trembling.
