“Denise said she was annoyed you didn’t sack me or send me to one of your clubs…strip club,” she snarled and stared evil eyed.

“Yes, I own, several strip clubs but they are all above board. Men like sexy ladies, I cannot deny that, only a few times I have been invaded by cops as someone has been in and planted drugs, which I hate on all counts. I’ve had to put in new damn security like I have this place, due to someone sneaking in,” I said matter-of-factly.

“Sorry.”

“It’s not your fault. I’m glad it was you and not my arch enemy.”

I’m turning into a pussy with her.

Layla turned to face her body to me. She licked her lips only that tongue, I wanted to be wrapped around my dick.

Edging my body closer to hers, I wanted to give her what she deserved; comfort. I was certain she had struggled all her life to trust anyone. I guess in some respects we have both suffered the same fate, no one to dearly love us or give us that special time. Alien it was to me like her, but I am sure between us we could work this out.

Wrapping my arm around her determined to pull her into me, and give her the security we both crave, only she still had to work that out.

I pulled her and strangely enough, she fell onto my chest. I wrapped my arms around her, never wishing to let go when I heard my papa’s words once again.

Never get close son, once you fall in love you weaken, and they will use her to get to you.

I heaved my breath, no one would get to this girl and hurt her. I would put myself in the line of fire before a hair was harmed on her head. She’s my desire and passion, my soul, my life support and would stay right there until the day I die.

“She means nothing to me.” I had no idea why I even said that unsure if it was reassurance for me for her.

“But you have,” she muttered from my chest.

“Yes, her and many others. I don’t treat women with respect, I use them for my own entertainment, only you…” She pulled from out of my chest to stare at me. “Layla, I don’t do this soppy shit. I am rubbish at it. My papa always told me never to get to close as you… well, you could be used to get to me, kidnapped and used for ransom. Hell knows, I am trying it myself right now with someone else. I have no idea what the hell is happening to me, I have never felt like this…” I stand up and moved to the pool to look down into the water.

I scratched my head I see my refection in the pool a man who’s torn between love and hell.

Layla stood beside me looking at one another’s reflection in the pool.

“I should stay away from you. I am dangerous. You would be considered my weak link. I cannot and will not allow any harm to come to you, and you being my girl just shouldn’t happen” I told her full heartedly.

She laced her hand in mine as I inhale a deep breath.

“I want it to happen. Me and you,” she says sweetly.

I faced her.

“No, you’re putting your life in danger just by even standing next to me. I don’t deal with nice people. I am out for revenge and right now…I will do anything to catch that person and bring him down to his knees. You don’t belong in this situation. You deserve better.”

“And what do you class as better, running for your life, scared of what is to come the following day, wondering if your life will be over and never feeling cared for. You make me safe. You bring me harmony and I like it. I haven’t felt this alive since, I haven’t felt love, ever,” She explained.

“Layla you’re in danger here,” I told her in panic. She had no idea who I dealt with, and these fools wouldn’t think twice about putting a bullet in her head.

“And so is everyone else. I don’t care. I want to share my body with you.”

She must be crazy.

“I will not treat you well.”

“Well, you have done up to now. Speaking of which,” she said, releasing my hand and she stepped back. She pulled her sleeves down from her dress, undoing the zipper at the side, and took it over her large breasts, down her tummy revealing the teddy lingerie to me. The dress went over her backside and dropped to the floor. I widened my eyes; heaven forbid she looked sensational.

I drank her curves, and my cock started pulsing this woman was going to get us both into a lot of trouble, only I would have to make sure she stayed safe.

“Do you like what you see Mr Conti?” She posed, swinging her hips from side-to-side before turning to show me her backside.

Cocking my head to the side, only right now I was fighting all my inner demons not to throw myself at her. I am seriously going out my mind.
