Tyson's POV

I was supposed to be talking to my top men about our next move but the second the waitress walked in all thoughts left my fucking brain and went straight to my dick. I think that all my men had the same reaction, but I was the one she made eye contact with and winked. Problem was, I had a date planned for the next night that I didn't want to go on. That was my mom's doing. I was down to six months until my twenty fifth birthday and they were applying the pressure, and I can tell you right now that our waitress isn't Italian and she is most definitely not part of the mafia. Both are a problem and so I have to get her out of my mind.

She dropped the check by me and walked out of the room, and I couldn't help but watch her ass as she left. So did everyone else that was here.

"I expect all of you to tip her well," I told everyone at the table. I paid for dinner, but they had to tip our server. I would leave her a tip as well, but these fuckers weren't getting away with running up a two-thousand-dollar bill and not pay something.

"I have a tip for her and then about eight inches," Alex announced and that started a round of the guys laughing and each of them telling how much they would give her.

"Knock that shit off. If you guys want to be perverts than go, get a damn hooker and leave her alone."

They all got up and left but Luca. He wasn't dumb. He knew me better than anyone else. He knew that I wanted to take her home and that if I couldn't have her, then no one could have her.

I signed our receipt and left her a hefty tip and pushed it to the middle of the table and drank down the last of my whiskey.

"Go see when she is off tonight."

"That obvious?"

"Ya and I think the feeling was mutual. She was hot and that body, and her accent could make the coldest of men melt."

"I can't I have a date tomorrow night. Mom is on a war path to find me someone and could you imagine bringing her home."

He started laughing. "Ya, dad would have a heart attack and then it wouldn't matter," he said between laughs, and I had to chuckle as well because it probably would kill him, but I can't do that to him. As much of an asshole he is, I understand with the position he is in.

My driver pulled up to the hotel. This girl my mom had flown in from another state. Their father was a Don in Floridia. They had a huge import and export market there. I got out of the car and headed inside. I knew my parents were paying for all of her expenses.

As I walked in the elevator dinged and off stepped my date. Alessandra or Alle as she said in the text messages that we had exchanged over the past few days. I really had been trying until last night when this sexy waitress stepped into our room. Now Alle didn't even compare. Was she beautiful? Yes, but she didn't have what that waitress had, and I couldn't seem to put my finger on it.

"Tyson," she purred as we got close to one another. She was dressed to the nines in a little dress and high heels, and her hair was down and big and her makeup was thick, and her perfume was overpowering but I leaned in and kissed her cheek.

"Shall we," I asked and held out my hand for her. She placed her hand in mine, and I moved it and wrapped it around my arm and escorted her out of the hotel and my driver Jay was waiting there for us and opened the door.

She slid into the car, and I was right behind her and watched as everything flash me when she bent over to get into the car. Either she had on the smallest G-string or nothing at all. Normally I would find this information out pretty quickly, but my mind went to a girl with strawberry blonde hair and wondered what she wore under her dresses.

Normally I would have taken her back to Mo's steak house, but I didn't want to risk seeing her with another girl on my arm. It sounded ridiculous because I didn't even know the girls name and I was worried about her seeing me with another woman and the other woman would probably eat her alive.

It was still a risk with the restaurant that I choose. It was just down the street, and she could still see us, but it was late enough in the evening that unless she was standing right in front of me, she wouldn't know who I was.

"Your hometown is beautiful. Your mom and I went out and did some shopping today and we had lunch."

"Thank you. I like it here." I replied keeping it short. I didn't want to give off any sort of impression to her.

The rest of the car ride was quiet, and I could feel her wanting to say something, but she picked up on the fact that I didn't want to talk.

When Jay pulled up to the restaurant, I opened the door and went around and opened Alle's door and held out my hand again and she quick to put hers in mine and I led her inside. It was an Italian place. Thought it was fitting for the date.

The hostess knew who I was and instantly took us back to our table and there was a bottle of wine waiting for us and warm bread. I pulled her chair out for her and went and sat down in my chair and the hostess poured us each a glass of wine and handed us the menus.

"What is good here?" she asked again trying to make conversation. I couldn't be completely rude to her. I might have to do business with her father one day or my father may be doing business with him now.

"Everything but I prefer the Grilled Fish with Artichoke Caponata."

"That sounds great, I will try that."

I motioned for the waitress to come back and take our order, and I ordered for both of us and got a different wine that would pair much better with the dish.

"What is it that you do for work?" I asked, although it was painful to ask because I was pretty sure I already knew the answer. She was just like every other mafia princess.

"A lot of charity work."

Which really was code for I spend daddies' money waiting for a husband, so I could spend his money. The rest of the date went just as you would expect. Boring and just like all the other ones that my mother had set up for me. I paid our bill and had all intentions of taking her back to the hotel and thanking her for a nice night and then texting my mom that it would never happen.

"It's beautiful out, we should walk for a while," she said as we stepped outside. It shocked me a little and to keep up the gentleman persona I had going, I turned us, so we were walking in the opposite direction of Mo's Steak House, so I didn't run into the beauty that had taken over my mind.

"The stars here look so much brighter here than at home, but it's a lot cooler here," she said as she ran her hands up and down her arms. I got the hint and took my leather jacket off and placed it over her shoulders.

"Oh," was I could muster up to say after I gave her my Jacket. I knew I was being rude but really the stars. I'm not a romantic and this date was over before it started, and she couldn't seem to figure it out.

We had gotten five blocks from the restaurant and getting close to being out of the main area of that street and I heard a woman's scream.

"Did you hear that?" I asked and I motioned for Jay to get out of the car. He was following us. He quickly pulled over and got out of the car as Alle stepped closer to me and pressed her body against mine.

"Get in the car," I growled at her, but she didn't move. The woman started screaming again, "No, stop, please," I heard and I shook Alle off me and took off down the alley way. It was dark and the perfect place the commit a crime, if it wasn't for us walking by.

I crept down the alley way as quietly as possible. I didn't want to scare him off because you don't hurt women, plain and simple. As I got closer, I could see the man had her pushed against the wall and his arm was pressing against her throat and her hair covered her face, but I could just make out the color, and my blood ran cold realizing it was her.

I kept quiet and stormed to him. He was to focused on her and didn't even see me coming. I grabbed the back of his jacket and jerked him off her and threw him to the ground. She stood there frozen to the wall. I was torn as I wanted to slit his throat and leave him to bleed out in the alley way, but I didn't want to scare her. So, I pressed my boot into his throat and pressed down until he started fighting.

"If I ever see you near her again, I will kill you, don't fucking try me," I growled and pressed even harder for just a second before letting him go and he got up and ran so fast like the scared little bitch he was. He could hurt a woman but when someone his own size or bigger he fucking runs.

I turned to see my beauty standing against the wall shaking. I stalk over to her, and she closes her eyes. "Please don't hurt me," she cried.

"Never Bella," I whispered and brought my hand up to her face and cradled it just as her eyes rolled back in her head and she started to tumble to the ground. I quickly reached out and grabbed her and lifted her into my arms and walked back out to the sidewalk where the other two were waiting. She was freezing cold.

"Alle my jacket," I demanded when I got to them.

"No, I'm cold," she scoffed and it made me want to wrap my hands around her throat. I know I just said you don’t hurt women, but she is awful.

"And she is unconscious and was just attacked. NOW," I yelled and it finally got through her head, and she shrugged it off and handed it to me.

Jay moved to open the back door of the car and carefully laid her across the back seat and then shut the door when I got out.

"Make sure that she gets back to her hotel safely and then take the night off."

"Of course, sir," he said and turned to Alle who was glaring at me.

I moved towards the driver's seat when Alle figured things out. "Tyson, what about me? You are going to leave me for some unconscious chick."

"Ya, Jay will make sure that you make it to your hotel and please don't call me, ever."

I got into the car and sped towards my apartment and debated about calling our staff doctor but decided against it. She didn't seem hurt, just scared and went into flight or fight mode.

When I pulled into my private parking garage I parked and got her out and took her up to my room where I undressed her and put her into one of my shirts and covered her up and let her sleep.
