Chapter 15 - 14

By the time Lee Ai Bao stepped out of the bathroom, Mei Ling had cleaned up and was waiting for him on bed.

Her fresh scent greeted his nostrils and then his gaze fell on her by the couch with a cup of red wine in hand.

He walked towards her and kissed her savoring the taste of her lips, mint and red wine she was his favorite flavor.

"Why are you here you should be asleep?" He asked taking the cup away from her and lifting her up walking towards the bed.

"I was waiting for you" he smiled and laid her down on the fresh sheets before hugging her to himself and turning off the lights excluding the night lights.

Guess she was a clean freak like he was but she was worse as he'd have still used the sheets before tossing them. Mei Ling's eyes fell on the large lion tattoo that defined the left side of his torso before moving back to the dark tender eyes watching her keenly.

She traced the tattoo with her index finger and Lee Ai Bao let out a long sigh pulling her closer at the same time allowing her to satisfy her curiosity.

This lion was the symbol of their mafia everyone had it but the tattoo of the Don was usually more pronounced just like his own, he wasn't the king for nothing.

"Beautiful"she whispered and he smiled.

"Why don't you have a tattoo?" He asked wanting to trace hers too but it was absent, besides any child born in the mafia got it immediately they turned fifteen.

"If there's anything my mother likes more than me her child it's my skin" they chuckled and she smiled remembering how she'd throw a fit if there was a single scratch on her body after returning from school.

"Well you can't blame her it's really a rare skin color"

"Ayy.... caramel skin color is common overseas" the smile remained on her face, the love for her mother evident in her eyes.

"Most of them are tan or maybe sunburned, but one original is hard to come by, so I get why she loves it, people nearly kill themselves to get your skin color so flaunt it and dooley anyone bully you, okay?" She smiled warmly he was simply the best.

"I was thinking of getting my tattoo by the weekend though just to piss my mother off" he chuckled and bit her nose.

"Why do you keep doing that?" She whined and he smiled looking at her , he didn't know if it was possible to be this whipped in just two weeks and he didn't know if it was a good thing and he definitely didn't care as long as he was with her.

"It looks delicious and it's so tiny" she glared at him and he chuckled.

"Please be careful make sure you carry a gun with you and also my men will be following you around from now on maybe if I......" She saw through what he was thinking and she smiled kissing him lightly on the lips.

"It's not your fault anyway I'd have still married you it was customary plus I'm in the mafia whether my position was important or not my life was in danger" he smiled bitterly that was the world they were born into.

"I suddenly don't enjoy being in the mafia" she chuckled and he smiled.

"Torturing people for fun is quite nice though call me psycho but it's what I enjoy especially when they didn't know who they were messing with" he hugged her.

"You sound like my childhood friend" he teased because he knew she was the one.

"Your childhood friend is one smart mother fucker" he laughed and kissed her forehead holding her tight.

When he was sure that she was asleep he got up and picked his phone, he wanted to know the person foolish enough to go after his woman and even openly threaten him, he had learned the hard way that when there was a problem he shouldn't toy with the enemy.

He had the gun so he would go for the kill.
