After soothing ourselves, cleaning and changing into night suits we were laying on bed, completely exhausted. It was like, as soon my head would hit pillow I'll fall asleep. 

We both were in bed, here me accepting that Leo is my everything now, and God knows what he's thinking right now. I adjusted myself to sleep, I could still feel my hole stretched, this was my first time and I didn't knew I'll be honoured with his sword, Erick thought while gazing over Leonardo's bare body. 

You want me again.. isn't it? Leonardo smirked. I can feel the desire to do it again in your eyes. Leonardo chuckled.

Huh! 

Shouldn't we sleep now? I'm already bearing something unbearable, and that's what you rewarded me with. I scoffed. 

Well, not my fault, you wanted me so bad. I liked the way you moaned my name, which made me continue and go deeper. Leonardo winked. 

I threw pillow on his face, Now Sleep! You have to work tomorrow, don't you? I said and turned away to comfort myself.

Yeah, I do! But you're more important, mi amor. But, I'm feeling lethargic now... I'll fall asleep in no time. Leonardo replied. 

Bonne nuit! Mon chéri. Leonardo kissed Erick on his neck and cuddled him, feeling his skin and covering him in his arms.

Already 7:00 in the morning, Erick was still knocked out. 

Good morning, my love! I said and placed gentle kiss on his temple. 

I'll be busy whole day, so most probably you won't see me around you. I promise I'll be with you tonight again. Leonardo giggled. 

I got out of bed, refreshing myself. The morning was rejuvenating, birds chirping was stimulating dopamine in my body. Thinking about today's important meeting, adrenaline rushed throughout my body. Today's meeting was about Erick, I don't know what will be the outcome but I'll protect him with my life. I dressed myself and left to my office. 

When I entered the room, dad and Orazio were already present there, and about 10 empty chairs. Of course, other mafia and some officials were coming to the meeting also. 

Finally you're here, Leo! See this. Orazio said while pointing to his macbook. 

It was an email from second largest mafia — The Lazars. 

Well, it's not away from our site that you've found the person with valederou blood. We even know your son, Leonardo Ubikarois married him. Inspite of the fact you know that's against rules of our mafia organizations. All the mafia organizations and also governments which were working under you, are now against you. On behalf of all the organizations our group is telling you to leave Erick—

Shit! this is bad, they even know his name. Leonardo was raged.

—Erick to us. We'll take better care of him. I hope you're not unaware of how we treat if someone disobeys us. 

Au revoir. 

Leonardo clenched his fist. His knuckles turning white from the pressure. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm inside him.

"This is unacceptable," he muttered through gritted teeth.

"Leo, we need to handle this delicately," Orazio said, his eyes serious. "The Lazars are powerful, but we can't let them dictate our lives."Leonardo nodded, his mind racing. 

We need to secure Erick's safety first. Then we'll figure out our next move.

Just then, the doors to the meeting room swung open, and the other mafia leaders and officials began to file in. 

Leonardo straightened up, his face a mask of calm determination. The meeting began, and Leonardo laid out the situation, carefully detailing out everything that might betray his emotions. The room buzzed with tension as the leaders debated the best course of action.

"We can't give in to their demands," one of the leaders, Giovanni, said firmly. "It would show weakness."

"But if we don't, they could retaliate," another argued. 

"We need a plan that ensures Erick's safety and maintains our power." Leonardo's father, Jeronimo, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. 

We will protect Erick at all costs. But we must also prepare for the possibility of war. We need allies, resources, and a strategy that can frighten the Lazars.

Leonardo felt gratitude for his father's unwavering support. "I'll reach out to our contacts and see who can offer their help," he said."

In the meantime, we need to ensure Erick is safe. I'll have him moved to a secure location. As the meeting continued, plans were made, and alliances were discussed.

Leonardo's mind kept drifting back to Erick, which according to him was lying peacefully in the bed, unaware of the circumstances which could trap him. He knew he had to be strong, not just for himself, but for Erick and their future together. 

When the meeting finally ended, Leonardo hurried back to room. He found Erick was already awake. He was stepping out of shower the moment Leonardo entered the room. 

Mi cariño! Good morning! Leonardo said out of excitement seeing his husband awake.

Mornin! Leo, where were you? I searched for you! No note? Nothing? Erick said and pouted.

Leonardo chuckled. Well, I had a meeting to attend so was up early. Sorry love, but it was important. 

It's fine, I should've know you're mafia boss, so you'll be busy with this stuff. Erick said with smile.

Great! and... Breakfast? 

I will agree to eat anything, I'm that hungry right now! Erick replied restlessly.

Anything? Mi amor. Leonardo smirked.

C'mon! Not again! Erick squinched.

Before we have our breakfast I have something to tell you. Leonardo said with seriousness.

Give a shout-out. Erick said.

It's serious. We have to leave this place by tomorrow. We have very less–

What!? But why? Erick hollered. 

The meeting I mentioned earlier, was about this. We've got a mail from other mafia groups, they've found about you. They know you are with us. It's not we can't protect you here, this place is safe. But we're flying to other place, that no one will ever know. You'll be safe there. Trust me? Leonardo replied.

I'm sure I can trust you blindly. But where are we heading to? Erick asked.

Well, I, myself not sure about it yet. But I'm sure Orazio will find very secure location for us. 

I'm good with it as it's for my safety, and as long as you're with me. Erick smiled.

Leonardo pecked on his lips and motioned his hand pointing outside for breakfast. 

Yeah, I need food- Erick said mimicking sobbing.

Aww- my cute husband wants to eat. Leonardo chuckled.

You wanna come? Or planning for hunger-strike? Erick loudly said standing in the door.

Wait! How you reached there? I didn't even realised! Leonardo was shocked. 

Let's go! Erick said.

Well, after breakfast I'm having another meeting with other officials, and some mafia group so I'll be busy there. But I'll be free till evening, and I'll let you know where we are planning to shift. Leonardo said while pulling out chair for Erick.

Sure! I'll pack small things I want to take with me. 

That would be great. Leonardo smiled.

Both of them dug into their meal, later followed by Luigino and Zolia joining them. After sometime, Leo's mom also joined in, brightening the morning.

------------------------------------------------------------

Now things are getting to heat up. The Lazars found him, and also governments had their back so they aren't a weak alliance.

Stay tuned!!! 

Love y'all <3
