Salvatore watched Aryan do his workout. He was a fitness freak, which was evident and was well built. The toned body made Salvatore feel all warm. He looked away.
He has overseen the protection of a couple of people over time and did it himself too because they were assets. There was money at stake. He was one hundred per cent professional about it. And none of them dared to challenge him ever and it was never an elaborate job anyway. His guards would do all the guarding. None of them was important on a personal level. Aryan, he was different. He is the stake. Aryan who fought him at every point and argued back and manhandled him even.
The problem was that neither is this a job nor is it anything professional. It's personal and that made all the difference.
---------------
Aryan decided to talk with Salvatore. The man had been fucking professional with him every fucking second and that pissed him off beyond belief.
Salvatore was driving the vehicle. It was just the two of them.
"Stop the car," said Aryan.
Salvatore raised his eyebrow and looked at Aryan.
"We are stopping only at your house," said Salvatore.
Aryan just opened the door and jumped out. Salvatore stopped the car and got out and saw Aryan get up. There was a trickle of blood on his cheek.
Salvatore glared at him and Aryan cringed inside but kept his stern face. "Well, you did not listen," said Aryan
"I am listening now. There better be a strong reason," said Salvatore growling.
"It's valid for me. We both had been avoiding it and I am done avoiding it," said Aryan.
"What are you talking about?" asked Salvatore, not letting it affect him.
"I am talking about us, don't act dense," said Aryan.
"There is nothing to talk about," said Salvatore.
"Don't tell me I don't affect you," said Aryan.
Salvatore snorted.
"You don't affect me Aryan," said Salvatore.
Aryan's face did not reveal the varied emotions he had at the moment.
"Liar," said Aryan.
Salvatore shook his head and turned.
"I really am not interested Boss, you find some guy to take off the edge," said Salvatore. Even as he said it, it left a bitter taste in his mouth.
Before Aryan could say anything, bullet whooshed past them. Aryan felt himself being pulled against the now familiar broad, strong chest. Salvatore was using his body to guard him and Aryan was looking at Salvatore's face which was concentrated and was looking in all directions as bullets left his gun.
Once they safely got out, Aryan realised he was still inside Salvatore's arms. He looked at Salvatore who was still looking around for potential danger. Aryan grabbed the man's attention by pulling at his shirt and Salvatore looked at him.
"You are injured," said Aryan and he pulled the man to the car and took out the first aid kit and tended to the wound.
Salvatore was looking at Aryan. It was just a small wound. A bullet has barely brushed his arm and Aryan was not taking it well at all by the way he was going about tending to the injury. His resolve to keep Aryan at arm's length only became stronger as he saw his caring side.
"That's enough," said Salvatore and grabbed his hand away.
----------------------------------
Aryan couldn't believe he was making fool of himself by going mad over this guy. It was just a crush, an itch, a curiosity, he decided and he was sure it would go away once he had sex with Salvatore. So he was resolved to bed the man. Then he can go about his life with the old sedateness rather than this emotional rollercoaster he is going through right now.
----------------------------------
Salvatore hatched a plan to do away with Dapone's once and for all to ensure that Aryan is safe and Avanindra can live peacefully for the rest of the days. He was sure it wouldn't take him much time and he made the perfect trap for the Dapones.
-------------------------------------
Aryan made himself a coffee. He saw Salvatore still eating the head of the guards for the security breach and rolled his eyes. He took a cup of coffee for him and then looked at all.
"That's all for now. If it's not your schedule, go and have a lie in. Off you all go," said Aryan and waited. They all looked at Salvatore who just sighed and glared at Aryan who thrust the coffee cup into his hand.
Salvatore swore in French, his mother tongue but took the coffee.
He sat down on the sofa opposite Aryan who had his legs around a pillow as he laid back and was watching the football match.
----------------------------------------
Aryan was asleep by the time Salvatore decided to have a lie in. Salvatore looked at Aryan for a few seconds and looked away and walked out.
----------------------------------------
Aryan decided to have a day off. He had made a decision in his mind and he was going to make it happeb. By the end of this day, he would bed Salvatore and that would be the end of this phase. He was sure.
"What are you playing at? You had a tight schedule today?" asked Salvatore glaring at Aryan throwing the files at the table.
"I felt like investing my energy on something else completely," said Aryan.
"And what the fuck is that?" asked Salvatore.
"You. I am going to have you in my bed tonight," said Aryan casually as he sipped on the tea.
Salvatore looked at him like he lost his mind.
"You are absolutely mental," said Salvatore before he walked off.
He stopped halfway.
"And we will see who loses," said Salvatore and stalked off. He was too furious to say anything.
Aryan snorted as he looked on.
Salvatore groaned because Aryan was so stubborn he wanted to bang his head somewhere. The guy was getting ready to go to some club and he was tired of telling him the safety consequences for the umpteenth time.Aryan was having one drink after another and Salvatore was in the corner when one of the guys dancing hit on Aryan who was smirking and nodding off. The guy led him to the dance floor and they were dancing. Aryan's eyes were however on the wall. There was a reflection of Salvatore in it. He was amused that the man was now standing closer. However, when an arm came around him, he did not expect him to be so fast."Excuse me? Do you mind?" asked the guy some Ripu who wanted to have Aryan and was eyeing him like a chunk of meat."I do," said Salvatore.Ripu looked up."Is this your boyfriend?" he asked."No, my husband. We will be on our way," said Aryan
Avanindra looked at Salvatore and told him of what Aryan said."Sir he is just infatuated with me and I don't even know why," said Salvatore."Does it matter? I- I would die better if I leave him in your hands. I would die happily if I could leave him as yours," said Avanindra.Salvatore was perplexed. He has never ever in his wildest dreams has thought of a marriage and here the offer was. "I need to talk to Aryan before you say anything more, sir," said Salvatore.Avanindra nodded.--------------------------Aryan was not all shocked when his door was slammed open and Salvatore rushed in, his face furious. Aryan sat back, chill as a cucumber and that made Salvatore look at him a bit weirdly."What are you playing at? Are you a high school girl now! You fuck a guy and wants to marry him?" asked Salvatore."Well, I like a guy and I would 'like' to marry him. No one is forcing you. I just told my dad that I prefer someone," said Aryan."You want to get married? I will find you the bes
Salvatore looked at Aryan who was seeing him in a new light. He can see why this man wouldn't associate emotions with sex. "Do you know who I am?" asked Salvatore dangerously as he grabbed Aryan's chin. Aryan swatted his hand away but shook his head. "I only know what you and dad said and what I have seen," said Aryan."Are you not even curious before you went and decided to marry me?" asked Salvatore practically scoffing at the last part."But I know one thing, that you are not my enemy, nor do you pose any danger to me. I am also curious," said Aryan.Salvatore grabbed Aryan close to him."How can you be so sure that I wouldn't hurt you?" asked Salvatore.Aryan looked where Salvatore was holding him and nodded to it."Yeah you are holding it tight, there is a trickle of blood even, but well, you see- Aryan yanked his hand away and almost fell before Salvatore caught him. Aryan looked at Salvatore who was holding him in his arms around his waist, ensuring that he does not fall and
Salvatore has no clue as to why he said that. Maybe he was indeed tired of living alone. He was not going to over analyse it and make himself go mad! He looked at Aryan who was looking at him still."You are not kidding?" asked AryanSalvatore shook his head."No, Aryan, but as I said, you better know what you are getting yourself into, because I don't live an easy life," said Salvatore.Aryan snorted."I only have one demand from you, just one," said Aryan.Salvatore raised his brow."Your fidelity," said Aryan.Salvatore rolled his eyes."No Manzoni has ever cheated on their partner and Aryan if there is one thing you can expect from me and can be sure that you will have its fidelity. I will always be Fidel to you if we do get married and I expect the same back," said Salvatore.Aryan looked down at him and said."You have me and my fidelity, Salvatore El Manzoni," said Aryan.Salvatore looked at him."Take my phone, call Caroline and ask her to be here ASAP," said Salvatore.Aryan
Salvatore looked at Avanindra."I shouldn't ask this of you. But I don't trust anyone to look after him. Take him with you when you go, please," said Avanindra."You don't have to say please to me. You just have to order. Even if we don't get married, I will take care of him," said Salvatore."I know and I still want him to live with you or I won't have peace of mind," said Avanindra.---------------------------------Aryan Vallar El Manzoni.Aryan thought that is a mouthful. But he still decided to go with it.His eyes narrowed as he saw the usual flirty bitches throw themselves at his husband who was looking at them like they were pests. He went out of the office and rounded the corner making everyone go back to the normal chitchat. However, he was not going to let it go this time around.He looked at the staff Chitra who was still eyeing Salvatore."Anything you want to tell Salvatore here, Chitra?" he asked.She sneered a bit trying to be subtle about it and said."I was wondering
Aryan was furious as he went up and he heard Salvatore's footsteps follow him."Kids-" they heard Avanindra call and both turned to see him fall.Both ran down and got Aryan held him as Salvatore called emergency."Come on, let us get him to the car," said Salvatore and Aryan nodded.They took him to the hospital who were ready for them. They both waited outside as he was taken in. Salvatore took the medical records and handed it over to the doctor who went through them and nodded.Aryan grabbed it once and he felt his eyes well up as he read them.He let the doctor take it from him but Aryan was looking down still."Aryan" called Salvatore."You cheat! You absolute cheat! You lied to me. You - you just kept something so big from me- you. I don't want to see your fucking face," snapped Aryan, teardrops sliding down his eyes.Salvatore was not sure how to handle the situation, at all. He tried to touch Aryan's shoulder."Don't! You both lied to me. Liars! Cheats! Only two people I giv
They reached Milinoi where Salvatore is based at. A limo was waiting for them."Boss" collective voices echoed in the area and almost 65 men stood there.All eyes went to Aryan and then back to Salvatore and no one asked any questions.They got into the limo and then changed three vehicles on their way."Do you always travel like this?" asked Aryan."No, I have been away too long. Chances of being surprised are high," said Salvatore."If you say so," said Aryan."Okay, we are almost here. That is the house," said Salvatore.Aryan looked in the direction Salvatore pointed. It was a huge palatial house and Aryan looked at Salvatore."How many people live there?" asked Aryan."Everyone and their families in the East, North and West wings. South is all mine," said Salvatore."South Wing?" asked Aryan.Salvatore nodded, face stoic. He did not live in the palace but the look on Aryan's face was priceless.Aryan just rolled his eyes."It is the smallest wing with around 70 rooms," said Salva
