Handle Me With Care

"I would destroy you in the most beautiful way possible," it was a deadly promise. ........ In her search for a greener pasture, she fell deeply into the world of the Mafias and directly into the hands of the most dangerous without realizing it. Lucian Rodriguez existed on earth like he never lived. Not most people knew him but everyone knew him. A whisper of his name can tremble the whole underworld. A strike from him crumbles the world, he does not even need to strike twice. The only emotion he had ever felt was hate and that hate fueled his credulity even more. Cassie O'Connell, a bartender, has a good record all around of being the most loving person to have existed. Most people say she's too good to live on Earth and a few ask her to go back to Heaven. However, everything changed in one night... Her night of Despair, Cassie's night of Despair... ....... Lucian scoffed. He enjoyed the fear that flashed through the eyes of his newfound plaything and he decided to continue. He grinned, slow and devilish, "I believe you're hiding the fact that you're trying to run away from me. I am unaware of the reasons why but it could be a variety of things," Cassie's heart skipped at his words and she took a step back, away from him. Her left foot hit the bedpost unprepared and with a soft gulp, she landed her ass in the bed. Lucian clicked his tongue. In his mind, he found her act so cute and her actions and body language explained to him that he was hitting the right spot so he went on. This time, his voice sounded a bit sensual. "Maybe she doesn't want to fall for me," he took steps closer to her without ending his words, "Or maybe, anytime she's around me, thoughts of me linger in her mind for longer than she expects. Or maybe...." his hand reached for her chin and with the help of his fingers, he forced her to look at him. Searching her gaze, his lips formed an unholy evil smirk. "Tell me, do you crave for me romantically?" he asked. "W_ what?" Cassie choked out, speechless. Lucian took his fingers off her chin and grabbed her jaw with his hand, a little too hard, "Don't you dare lie to me, say it," He wanted to hear it from her. A part of him wanted her to say yes and he didn't mind it if he had to force her into satisfying that part of him. ........ Thank you so much for reading.
