Leo's POV
I just dropped Athena off at her room to allow her to get ready for tonight. She is a strong-willed woman I'll give her that. I knew exactly what she was doing in that help-bot room. I have eyes everywhere. But, I'll let her think she got away with it because it's honestly cute to see her face when she thinks she won.
Tonight was just another step in my plan. It would be that much easier to succeed if I made her weak for me. Which when it comes to women, isn't hard for me to do. I'm a 6'3 Italian with muscles and blue eyes. She can't deny her attraction.
If I am being honest though she is a beautiful woman. Long blonde hair, striking green eyes, the perfect body. And that fierce angry look she gets in her eyes when I so much as approach her is so intriguing. And I don't know why, but when she's not around, I feel off.
Thankfully I've always been good at pushing emotions away, I thank my father for that, so I just ignored that strange feeling.
Looking in the mirror, I adjusted my outfit. The black silk button up I had on was rolled halfway up my sleeves and the first two buttons were undone, revealing my tapestry of tattoos. I usually kept them hidden from my people, as it's not very royal figure of me. To think of it, Athena's never fully seen them. Maybe that one night she snuck into my bed, but it was too dark to see.
A thin gold chain decorated my neck and my black dress pants fit snug. I grabbed my gun and slipped it into the waist band before leaving to retrieve my Queen.
I knocked on her door and heard her shuffling around quickly. How cute. The door swung open and I swear I stopped breathing. She is truly the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Her blonde hair was straightened down her back. Her green eyes popped from the makeup she had applied and the sparkling dark green bodycon dress she had on fit her perfect. It was floor length and hugged every curve perfectly, dipping at the chest. All I could think about was how yes, I wanted to kill her and hear her scream, but I wanted to hear her scream my name more.
Athena's POV
There he was. Staring at me like a lion stares at his pray. I couldn't deny how handsome he was. How his perfectly chiseled jaw was shadowed by some facial hair and how his usually unruly black hair was slicked back, but some pieces still came a strew. But what caught my eye was the intricate tattoos that covered his arms and neck.
How had I not noticed them before? I guess I was so distracted. I wanted to reach out and examine each one. Ask the story behind why he got them. A small part of me ached to know him. To ask him those questions and understand him. But that's just not how it worked between us. And it never would.
"Mi bella..." he whispered, and my heart fluttered. He reached his arm out and I linked mine through it. He guided me out to a hover car and helped me inside. I swear I saw him ogle my ass. At first the car ride was super quiet, so I found myself just staring at his tattoos. Wondering what each one meant. "Take a picture it'll last longer." Leo grumbled and I snapped out of my haze.
He was smirking and I swear he almost laughed. "I didn't know you had them." I simply stated. "It's kind of like a map of what I've been through." He replied and I was shocked at the vulnerability. "But it's none of your business." Moment over.
I turned to face the window, but Leo grabbed my chin and turned me back towards him. "I could give you some tattoos of your own, guaio." He whispered before he bent his head to my neck and kissed my scar gently. I squeezed my thighs, trying to stop the heat that swam to my core.
He nipped at the skin of my neck and sucked gently. I was beyond thankful there was a wall between us and the driver. A soft sigh escaped my lips and I wish I held it in because that drove Leo mad. He suddenly gripped my neck harshly and grabbed my hair, yanking my head back. His full lips attacked my neck, sucking and nipping at the skin. Unknown pain and pleasure shot through my body, and I moaned.
"Fuck, mi bella." He groaned before pulling away from my neck and giving me the deadliest look. "You have no idea the things I imagine doing to you."
My chest was heaving as we pulled up to the restaurant. Leo helped me out and guided me towards the door. The hostess looked more than concerned when we walked up. "Reservation for Romano." Leo said sternly. The hostess's eyes were locked on my neck as she stuttered a reply, "R-right this way p-please." She guided us to private table on the far side of the fancy Italian restaurant.
The hostess quickly scurries away. "Why was she looking at me like that?" I scoffed at Leo. "I told you I gave you tattoos, amor." He answered, smirking devilishly. I ran to the bathroom. Sure enough, deep purple marks covered my entire neck. "Fuck."
