"Landon?" I speak out quietly.

Landons eyes stayed on the dashboard glaring at it throughly.

"Landon." I say louder now.

His eyes snapped mine, and I felt a bit taken back by the intensity of them.

I frow my eyebrows and stare at him.

"What's wrong?" I ask him worried.

He licks his lips and shakes his head.

He then takes my hand to his lips and kisses it.

"I'm sorry." He whispers out looking into my eyes.

I smile softly at him and tuck my hair behind my ear.

"It's okay." I say back.

A small smile comes onto his lips.

I stare into his grey eyes and instantly melt.

We keep our eyes locked in a daze, until he breaks it and opens his car door.

We both get out of the car and head towards my front door.

"I'll pick you up at 8 pm tomorrow."

I nod my head in response.

He leans down to my cheek and places a kiss there.

"See you soon Layla." Is all he says as he turns and goes back to his car.

I open my door and shut it closed.

I sigh and make my way to my room.

I place my shopping bags on the bed and make my way towards the bathroom.

I take a shower and get dressed into some comfy clothes.

For the rest of the day, I just laid in bed watching Netflix and browsing through social media.

By the time I knew it, the next day had arrived.

I haven't heard from Landon since he dropped me off.

I went out for lunch with Eliot and Violet and got home an hour before Landon was picking me up.

I had gotten dressed into my black dress, applied a small amount of makeup and threw on some black heals.

For once I looked decent.

I smiled at myself in the mirror and went back out to my room only to be startled by a very hot looking Landon.

I think I drooled a little.

Landon was dressed in black dress pants, a black dress shirt the first few buttons undone revealing his tatted muscular chest. He had a plain black blazer over the top.

His hair was normal, strands falling onto his grey eyes.

His jaw looked refined and sharp, his high cheekbones were sculpted perfectly.

His lips were red and plump making me desperately want them onto mine.

Yeah, I drooled a lot.

I watch as he stands up and walks over to me slowly.

He licks his lips as his cold eyes scan over my body making heat send through me like fire.

His eyes took me in and I gasp as he pulls my body into his.

I lay my hands on his chest as his eyes darken.

"Fuck Layla." He grumbles out as his eyes switch to my lips.

He leans down to my lips, just inches away from touching mine.

"You look fucking perfect." He whispers against my lips.

I push my lips against his and he lets out a deep groan.

I push my body against his more as his hands run over my body.

He moves his lips against mine and I sigh at the feel of it.

He removes his lips from mine and leans his forehead against my own.

He stares into my eyes as I look down to our feet.

Landon pecks my lips before wrapping his large, cold hand around my warm one pulling me towards the door.

"Ready?" He asks.

I nod and grab my purse and turn to leave with him.

Once we got into the car Landon drove off and we were left in comfortable silence.

I noticed another black SUV driving beside us and recognised the mop of brown hair as Andres.

When we stopped at a red light I saw Andre look over to my direction.

I waved at him and smiled he returned the smile and winked at me before driving off.

The ball seemed to be held in a mansion that seemed nearly as big as Landons.

There were many security guards surrounding the building, there were also many people walking into the mansion too.

Landon had parked and so did Andre.

Landon got out and opened the door for me, holding his hand out.

I took it as he shut the door and locked his car.

Andre made his way over to us and instantly pulled me into a hug.

"You look stunning Layla." Andre says pulling away from me.

I blush and thank him.

Andre simply ignores the glares from Landon and starts walking in front of us.

We made it to the front doors, the man opened the doors for us instantly recognising Landon.

We walk inside, hand in hand as we make our way into the mansion.

I look around in disbelief at the beautiful exterior.

The place was lit up beautifully, there was live classical music playing as the place was lit up with gorgeous wealthy looking people.

Andre sighs and pats his hand on my back.

"Welcome toThe Mafia Ball." Andre says.

I smile and look around excitedly, being completely unaware of the night that would change my life forever.
