Delvin 's pov
I am currently in a meeting with some of my business associates that are here in London. We are discussing some trade deals but then about two of them are absent. Will you believe that those two suckers actually decided not to turn up for a meeting with a whole Mafia King?.I guess they are tired of living. Who am I if not generous to grant their death wishes.
Just as I was about to speak, I was rudely interrupted by the ding of my door bell followed by insistent knocking or should I say banging on the door.
One of my associates stood up to answer the door but I signaled him to stop.Thinking it was the two late comers, I went to answer the door. This meeting had gotten boring, so I needed a little blood to spice things a bit of you know what i mean and this two late comers will be perfect scapegoats. I thought as I opened the door.
I froze when I saw who was standing there. And let me tell you this ,I never freeze. Standing in front of my door was Scarlett Alicia's Stone. Saying she's the lady I love to hate is an understatement in fact she is the bane of my existence .
Seeing her at my door is not surprising, in fact. I will say she actually took time to get here. Why? You might ask. Well, because she's the only person who is able to find me anywhere and at any time if she really wants to. I hate to admit this but she is the only person who knows me even more than myself just like I know her. What' that popular saying again "keep your friends close and your enemies closer " right. Well that applies here. Therefore it's no longer a surprise when she is able to find me.
The surprise and what has me in shock is the state in which she is in. The Scarlet Alicia Stone I know looks nothing like the one before me right now. Her makeup is all ruined, her lipstick is smudged, her mascara is running down her face as tears of frustration run down her cheeks and her already curly and spiky hair looks so disheveled also she keeps pulling at her dress as if she wants to remove it.
The moment the door was fully opened, she immediately walked into the room and without even a second glance to the occupants there who were as equally shocked and stunned as I was, she went straight to the shower.
Recovering from my initial Shock, I finally realized what was going on. Without a second thought, I turned to my associates who were still in the room with me.
"Gentlemen, this is where time will permit us to go. Any further discussions and questions shall be addressed via Zoom later .See you all next time." I instantly dismissed them, bringing an abrupt end to the meeting.
The six men all stood up and nodded as the proceeded to leave the room one by one. I closed the door behind the last man and finally turned my attention back to the situation ready to fully comprehend what was happening here.
From all angles and from the reaction and behavior of Alicia just few moments ago, I have reach just one conclusion .Alicia has been drugged.
But who the hell had the audacity, I mean the guts to drug her.
The person who did this to her better start making a will because he or she is living her last days on this earth.That much I can promise. Despite all our warnings to the entire world especially the underworld, it seems people still refuse to heed to them. Have they still not come to their senses and finally realized that no one is allowed to bring any form of harm to either of us except ourselves.
From all evidence ,It seems someone dared to have bad thoughts about Alicia. Wow Like seriously, even when I haven't used such a lowly trick on my enemy then who had the guts to spike her drink.
I'm amazed by the audacity of this person.
But then how did she end up here ? What if I hadn't booked this room for tonight ? I thought as I sat down on the sofa waiting for her to come out of the shower . One thing I like about this hotel is how all his rooms are Luxurious and yet simple. It does not have all this over the top fancy décor like other hotels but has this home vibe to it. Making one feel quite relaxed. No wonder it's still the best hotel in the country.
Oh and did I tell you that Scarlett actually owns this. It's one of her legal businesses. I normally use this hotel when I come here for business meetings with my associates and clients. I have houses here in London where I usually stay at anytime I am here. But this hotel I use it to conduct all business meetings
Come to think of it the reason I actually agreed to attend this charity Gala was because I knew she would definitely come If she heard I was attending. I actually wanted meet her when I arrived here in London about a week ago but my spies informed me that she had also gone on a business trip. We normally meet at least twice anytime either of us visits our countries as a way for us just to make fun of each other and to look down on each other's achievement. My spies informed me that she would be coming back today, so I decided to attend this gala knowing she will be in attendance. I am leaving back to Russia tomorrow and I couldn't go back without seeing the person I love to hate most in the entire world and also let's kind of say my friend of sorts shall we
Well, she kinda eliminated the heir to the Serbian Mafia on my behalf last month when they tried to assassinate me ,So I kind of wanted to thank her and hopefully leave her with a bullet in her shoulder while she recuperates at the hospital but then someone had to mess my perfect plan.
When she came out of the shower she was wearing one of my shirts that reached her mid thigh and barely covered her. She was still scratching her body like crazy.
" I don't know what it's happening to me but you have to help me" She pleaded with tears in her eyes
" Do you know who I am" I asked to be sure she was in her right senses. I couldn't do anything without her consent even if I wanted to.
" Of course It's you Stephen Cole. you invited me here remember " She answered. What the hell, she had mistaken me for that brainless son of a bitch. Like Is someone kidding me right now out of all people how could she have mistaken me for that brainless son of a nobody .Before I could correct her, she again answered
"Thank God, it's you Delvin. Like you need to help me right now. my body is so hot and I don't know what's wrong with me but Delvin you need to help me please" She pleaded with tears running down her face.
I was used to seeing many versions of Scarlet, angry, Surprised, happy, but I've never seen her this helpless. The need to protect run so deep inside me. I don't know where this feeling came from and I don't have time to analyze it right now.
"What happened" I asked her
"I only drunk a bloody Mary and was told come to room to room 423." She explained as she staggered a little bit. Before I could say Jack the Ripper , She had stumbled and landed on my laps successfully.
"Delvin please help me" she begged as she started rubbing herself on my crotch. Damn there is only as much control I can have before I break.
"You don't know what you're asking for. You're not in your right mindset. " I explained as I tried to get her off my laps .But Scarlett being Scarlett immediately wrapped her hands around my neck clinging to me like a monkey up a tree.
" Scarlett let go. you will regret this in the morning. Let go we'll find another way to get through this but just let go of me" I explained as I tried to remove her hands from my around my neck
" I promise not to regret this in the morning. I swear on my hatred for Delvin. I will not regret this, I will not blame you, I will not talk about it ever again. You just please help me. It's too much" She said as she continued rubbing herself against my crotch.
At this point in time her movements were hazy and fast paced, I assumed the sensation had gotten unbearable for her.
"You either help me or I will find someone else who can " She threatened .Now this was the Scarlett I was used to.
I know I shouldn't even be thinking about helping her because she'll regret this later. But then who am I kidding ,Who will refuse such a delicious snack offered on a silver platter. Yes there has always been this sizzling chemistry between us but I try as much as possible to ignore it every single time. I know she feels it too but it's just that our hatred for each other overshadows everything. I think this might be the perfect opportunity for us to get this tension out of the way once and for all.
But no matter what I still do not want to take advantage of her at this situation. But then I can't also allow her go to someone else like this .That's impossible.
I don't even want to think about what will happen to that bastard after this night Stephen Cole better start praying to whatever God he serves because this is his last night on this earth.
Before I could even bring myself to make a decision, She crushed her lips on mine.
My control which was already hanging by a thin thread snapped the instant she thrust her tongue into my mouth as she tried to get me to respond to the kiss while she released a sexy and delicious moan.
Fuck this, consequences be damned. My wildest fantasy is finally coming into reality. Who can resist such a temptation. I thought as I took control of everything
