"Kiss me."

Lovino smirked and leaned in a bit closer. "And what makes you think I'm going to comply?" He let their lips brush up against each other, soft and warm.

Antonio hummed and moved his hands higher above Lovino's head to hover over him. Lovino didn't seem to mind, thank goodness. "What is the dull taste of pride compared to passion? I know what you want, Lovi." He whispered into his ear and nibbled at his earlobe.

Lovino let out a small breath. He had to admit Antonio was good, but at the moment his will was stronger.

"Pride is what keeps me in charge. I quite like it, so I'm afraid you'll have to try harder." He leaned towards Antonio's neck and began to nip roughly at the skin. After a moment or two of listening to Antonio's hums of pleasure, he pulled back to look at him. "Come on, Antonio. You're the one holding back at this point."

"Oh, don't underestimate me, Lovino. I'll get that kiss and more." He trailed a few kisses down his jawline, stopping at the hollow of his throat.

Lovino let out a soft sigh. "I don't know about that." He bit his lip, starting to squirm a bit. Shit. This was beginning to feel better than he expected. Antonio was surprisingly good at this, and Lovino was starting to enjoy himself more than he felt comfortable with.

Antonio chuckled breathily and nipped a bit harder. "C'mon Lovi, your pride will only serve to dull your senses at this point. I promise not to disappoint." He pulled at the hem of Lovino's shirt, and then bit down at the junction of his neck and shoulder.

Lovino clenched his teeth then looked to the side. Dammit, he couldn't hold out much longer, not with his mouth on his neck like that. This bastard knows all my weak spots.

Antonio continued tugging at the shirt. Deciding to take his chances, he slid one hand up his shirt. "Come on, Lovi. Just one kiss," he whispered against his neck, savoring the feeling of Lovi's flushed skin.

Even with his teeth clenched Lovino couldn't hold back the sound that came from the back of his throat. Oh, that's fucking it. With that he gave in, pulling Antonio up by his collar to kiss him forcefully. His lips moved roughly against Antonio's and he hummed in satisfaction.

Antonio grinned against his mouth and took control of the kiss, running his hand up and down his side. He definitely had a shot at breaking Lovino down now. It's only been a couple hours, but I think I know his type pretty well.

The kiss lasted a couple more seconds before Antonio pulled back to let Lovino breathe, though he kept him preoccupied by moving back to his neck. After a moment Antonio reconnected their lips and moved his hand from Lovino's chest to the hem of his pants, teasing the skin just below the seam.

Lovino moaned once more into the kiss before smiling. Bastard probably thinks he has me wrapped around his tan little finger. He took Antonio's hands from the hem of his pants and pushed him back on the couch to straddle him, relishing the surprised look on his face.

"Sex on the first day. How very forward of you." He adjusted himself to sit cross legged on his lap. "You should know better than that, Antonio," he breathed, leaning over him, "Especially with the boss's grandson. You're pretty cocky." He chuckled and rolled off Antonio to sit on the coffee table next to the couch.

Antonio laughed ruefully and looked up at him. "Well, it was worth a shot, but I still think that counts as a win. It seems my sweet nothings broke through your Italian pride." At least I got something started with him.

Lovino immediately scoffed and rolled his eyes. "You're a newbie, I threw you a bone." He stood and smoothed out the wrinkles on his shirt, walking towards a door that seemed to lead to a hallway.

"Of course, of course, tell me, do you let all newbies use tongue?"

Lovino stopped and looked back at him with a smirk. "I usually cut it off before then." He turned his head back around continued walking.

Antonio felt a shiver run down his spine. Wow. He jogged a bit to catch up to him. "So, uh, I guess that would make me special?" He overtook Lovino and walked backwards in front of him, grinning all the while.

Lovino gave him a blank stare. "Mmm, maybe." He smiled slightly. "Oh, before I forget, let me give you a warning. There are higher ups staying here as well, so you'd better watch every step you take. You may have Nonno's favor, but that doesn't mean there aren't people willing to take you out if you step on their toes."

"So what should I do? I'm sure Lili could take care of them."

Lovino rolled his eyes and led him down another hallway, stopping at a room. "Your sister is in her teens and has no formal training. Trust me, if anyone here wants to take you out they will be far better prepared than your average dealer. Anyway, the room connected to yours is Lili's. And what I would suggest is keep to yourself. Don't talk to anyone, and only come out of your room if absolutely necessary, or if I call you up."

"Oh, what time of night would you be calling me? I happen to like my beauty rest, so I'd like to know." Antonio grinned, then coughed when Lovino glared at him. "So is your room on this level?"

"No, it's not, now knock it off. I'm not screwing around anymore. I have things to get done, so just get in there." He yanked open the door with more force than Antonio thought strictly necessary and motioned for him to get in.

Antonio laughed and stepped through the door. "Fine, fine, but I do look forward to the day when you call. I promise I'll make it worth your while." He turned to wink at Lovino.

"Shut it! I'm leaving. Behave." He slammed the door before storming down the hallway. God, what an asshole.

Antonio chuckled as the door was slammed on his face. Lovino would definitely be his next conquest. He was stubborn and ruthless, and God if that wasn't sexy.

He thought more about it, planning and scheming on how he could break Lovino down more. Not in a bad way, but enough so that he could have a decent conversation with the man. He wasn't sure if he liked Lovino, or just wanted to sleep with him but he would find out soon enough.

Now, though, he was bored.

There was nothing to do seeing as none of his stuff had been transferred here yet. He began to tap his foot on the floor, thinking of what he could do. He would go out and explore the grounds, but with Lovino's warning and the fact he wasn't well equipped he quickly dismissed that idea. The only thing there was to do was think. I hope Lili comes back before I do something stupid. It's not exactly a good thing that she's 80% of my impulse control. He fell backwards onto his bed, surprised at how comfortable it was. Within in minutes, he was drifting off.

A couple hours later he awoke to the sound of a door being pushed open, and he bolted up. Before he could dive to the floor, however, the lights turned on and he could identify a familiar face.

"Lili! I'm so glad you're back, I going out of my mind with boredom and worry." He laid back on the bed and relaxed. He could sense Lili was in a grumpy mood now, but wasn't going to ask. She got a bit snappy when she was in a mood, and he never quite knew how to deal with that. I suppose Lili and I aren't on that level yet.

"Hmph, I'm glad I'm done too. Those assholes keep trying to tell me how to do my job." She flopped down on a chair across from him. "I know you like that little Italian boy, but remind me why we're here again? We were doing fine on our own." She knew that was half a lie. They had been losing suppliers lately and didn't have enough to sell recently, but that was besides the point.

Antonio blushed and cleared his throat. "Well, I admit he's attractive, but we're here for the suppliers and money. You heard how much he's shipping over here, we'll be making big money. We can finally do the things we wanted. Y'know, like travel a bit! We can stay in nice hotels and update the toys in your collection, the whole shebang." He threw up his arms for emphasis, smile wide on his face.

Lili rolled her eyes. "That was your plan, but whatever. I don't really mind as long as I can keep doing what I like to do." She sighed, and then walked out of Antonio's room and into her own.

Antonio watched her and groaned, laying back on the bed. Lili was always better at dealing with boredom than him. Hopefully, a call from Lovino would come soon and he could get the few things they needed from their house.

A couple hours later, Lovino knocked on his door and after a bit of flirting and a swift but silent fuck you on Lovino's part, they were off to the house. Now, Antonio wasn't one to be laid back about these things, but when he saw the entourage of people going with them, Antonio thought Lovino might be the slightest bit paranoid.

"Um, Lovi, why are there so many guys going with us?" He whispered to him as they settled in the back of the car.

"Safety. Plus we're burning down your apartment after, so if we need a distraction we'll have enough people for one."

"A little overkill, but sounds good," he said, and was silent for the rest of the trip.

A few minutes later they arrived. Antonio got in quickly and gathered his and Lili's weapons and clothing before heading back to the car.

"All done." He started shoving the pile in his hands into the trunk. "Hey, Lovi, when we get back can you show me where the shower is? Maybe we can share one if you're feeling up to it?" He grinned as Lovino closed his eyes, looking an awful lot like he was counting to ten.

"Shut up and get in the goddamn vehicle."

Once Antonio acquiesced, Lovino rolled down his window and beckoned one of his men over. "Go ahead and burn it down. I don't want any evidence that I was here." The man nodded and gave orders to the others in a dialect Antonio recognize before the car pulled away.

"So did you get everything that you need?"

"I sure did. I even brought my books so I don't go out of my mind in my room."

Lovino nodded and looked out his window. "Well, in a few days we'll get the shipment in and you'll be able to start working." He paused to think for a moment, then looked back to Antonio. "Make sure not to disappoint me or my grandfather. That's a one way ticket to sleeping with the fishes, caspici?"

Antonio surprised him by laughing, loud and bright. "Sure thing." He smiled and lifted his right hand. "Boss."

Lovino lifted one eyebrow, looking at Antonio's beaming face and then down to the offered hand. With an exasperated huff and what felt like the hundredth eye-roll of the day, he took it.
