Leonardo Bernardi.

Has he gone insane?

How can he act so reckless?

What was he doing here without proper arms and

without a single guard? All alone. In this scorching

afternoon.

Clasping his fingers tightly around the steering wheel he was enraged beyond imagination.

What an impulsive act?

Something was definitely wrong with him. Otherwise, he won't have acted the way he is doing right now.

Frustrated, infuriated with himself for his own irrational behaviour, he banged the steering wheel pronouncing a few curses in-between his gritted teeth.

There was a voice in the back of his head nagging to take such an illogical move on his part. To see her for once.

What the fucking hell!!!

He wasn't some random guy to park his car beside the by lane of a girl like some.... some brainless, foolish man who has lost his mind after a girl. Just because she showed care and kindness towards him? So what? It was so unlike him to drive all the way for some girl.

Never had he behaved like this.

No.

He is the boss. A mafia boss. He wasn't supposed to act out of his wits.

Taking a deep breath, he raked his fingers through his thick wavy hair that now reaches few inches above his shoulder, his blueish eyes zeroed on the never-ending route in front of him.

Feeling suffocated inside the locked xuv car, he opened the door and slammed behind him. He stood in the open air and searched for a cigar in each pocket of his jacket and pant. The necessity to smoke a cigar was taking control over his mind. Only then he can clearly concentrate what's happening with him.

Unable to locate, he sighed and finally he opened the door and climbed back into his car.

He shut the door and was about to ignite the engine when his eyes latched to his left side and his fingers halted twisting the key inside the hole.

Like the previous time, he forgot to take a breath seeing her.

Clad in a white full sleeves ankle-length dress she came walking through the lane. Her face looks like an epitome of purity. Peacefully beautiful. Those big forest green eyes were downcast watching on her every step. Her dusky black wet hair opens which reach till her hips.

Few wet locks nuzzle her flawless cheeks and droplets damping the white fabric of the scarf wrapped around her neck and dangling each side leaving patches near her chest. This concludes that she has freshly taken bath.

All he saw was her and he couldn't help but his whole concentration was on her. The beating of his heart escalated in an insane level.

Anger.

Frustration.

Everything evaporated out of his body.

As if her presence brought another new feeling along with her. An unknown feeling.

Her appearance brought peace in his restless and havoc mind but increased the pace of his heartbeats.

Suddenly three kids, all small girls, out of nowhere raced near her and hugged her. Each fighting for better access while giggling and encircling their arms around her knees misbalancing her.

Ana moved a step in backward to stay rooted in her spot. A cheerful smile adoring her lips as she ruffled the hair of each bundle of joy.

The sight of her beautiful smile filled his heart with unknown warmth. Her smile was like the first ray of sun in a clouded sky.

How skilfully and effortlessly without doing much she has captivated him. Even now he is all focused on her.

One of the kids spoke to her something, her eyes widen and the next she tilted her head back as she broke into a giggling mess.

He sucked a deep breath watching her mesmerized.

What an angelic laughter!!!

Composing after some time, Ana leaned down forward, bite her lower lip, eyes wide as she blinked several times in dramatic way before her hand dipped inside the pocket of her dress and scooped out chocolates in her palm and enthusiastically showed to the kids. They got excited and clapped their tiny hands hopping up and down, each took one from her hand. After that each kid tiptoed and kissed her cheek. She chuckled in adoration. Waving a goodbye they left from there and ran back to the gate of their house.

With a soft smile on her lips, she strides towards his direction. She was hardly few feet away from his car when she took a right turn and walked through a narrow uphill uneven route.

Unintentionally his hand reaches the door handle and click open the door of the car. His first right brittle brown shoe meet the concrete ground followed by another shoe.

Without removing his gaze from her dainty figure, he closed the door behind his back.

His legs followed behind her stealthily. With slow and cautious steps. She kept walking without any idea. His eyes were shamelessly examining her back. Starting at her bumps and curves, one thing he was sure from his prior experiences that with time her figure will grow in a desirable woman.

His eyes glowed imagining and a slow yet soft sinister smile curved on his lips.

Walking through the sloppy lane Ana reached the gate of the old church. Entering into she strides straight towards the huge mahogany open door of the church and entered inside.

Like a magnetic pull Leonardo made his way following her direction and soon he was standing at the threshold of the church. His eyes darted around the inside of the place.

The interior arches of the church are constructed of laminated wood. The ceiling rises to a height of 40 feet at the base of the altar. One of the features of the church provides for ample seating for the parish size. The interior of the church follows the design of a Gaelic cross with part of the seating housed. Soon his hawk like eyes found her.

There she was sitting in one of the benches set in rows along with other people. The priest was busy reciting some verse from the holy Bible.

Leonardo had never visited church till his 28 years old span of life. Being trained to become a mafia boss he was never been introduced with the religious beliefs. Neither Fernando had time not he himself had ever been to any religious places. Lust of power and money keeps any person away from God.

But this didn't fill him with hesitation instead Leonardo placed his right foot inside the house of God. Within few strides he reached on of the bench, five benches away from her and sat down like a catholic follower. But his eyes were still focused on her back.

The priest continued reading of scripture verses and possibly a psalm, and a sermon.

After an hour the prayer was over and everyone started walking out of the hall. But the girl was still embedded in her seat, her head bowed down. Praying.

Leonardo wondered what was she doing unknown to any religious gesture.

After few minutes she made some movement with her hand and rose up gracefully from her sitting position.

Taking the right turn she was out in the open sky unaware that someone was still trailing behind her in an appropriate distance.

Walking through the pathway she approached the nearby lake which is situated in the back of the church.

Lifting her dress up she stepped aside her flat slippers and climbed down the solid stairs. Reaching near the water she dipped her legs relishing the cold water easing her feet.

The area around the lake felt so serene in the lap of nature.

Few distance away from her, white swans were swimming in the shallow water. One can spend entire life in such peaceful environment.

When the sun was about to set, she pulled her feet out of the water and swirled around gleefully. Ascending up the stairs she reaches the concrete floor. Her hands still clutching each side of her grown exposing her legs that glistening with the droplets of water as she slides her each foot into her slippers unaware that someone was watching her with peak interest. Her every action creating a wave of unknown emotion inside him.

His steel blue eyes were a shade darker gazing her creamy legs.

Damn those legs.

As if it wasn't enough testing his patience that she tilted her head to the left side and tied her long hair with the scarf that was hanging around her neck. Her slender flawless skin around her neck was showcasing her beauty.

After that she traced her neckline before straighten herself.

Leonardo felt a rush of excitement he never felt before watching her. He never felt as strongly about anything as he felt at this moment. He gulped the sudden desire that developed within him to feel the velvety skin. It was a huge turn on. He felt his manhood twist in his pant.

Was it some kind of game. Let him see but not too

much. Let him feel and then take it away.

Weird but this was the first time someone precisely a small girl whom he had barely met captured his mind, his thought, his interest. His desire and hunger for her was written all over his face.

A smirk plastered his lips.

' You shouldn't have teased the devil within me!

Now, my angel, I will have you, very soon!!!'
