A.N: Last time I'm saying this but Bold Italics are thoughts

Chapter 8

BOOM. CRACK.

A sickening cracking sound of a nose possibly breaking as Sam decks Jake in the nose before Mercedes could explain the situation. Neither expected the punch and with so much force.

Sam grabs Jake and forces him to the ground. Not one to back down for any fight especially being a sucker punch, Jake head butts Sam in the head to get Sam off of him. Within seconds the two men engages in a battle of blows and the blood from Jake's nose was gushing down on the floor. Sam is pissed beyond belief. When he finally gets to the house, preparing himself to try to be decent husband just to see his fucking fianccee hugging up too closely to another man.

No one plays Salvatore Evans for a fool.

Before he could uppercut the bastard, Sam was thrown backwards due to someone pulling onto some of his dark blonde locks and pinned onto the grass with a switchblade pressed against his neck forcing him to look up at them.

That someone being Mercedes.

"WHAT. THE. FUCK. ARE. YOU. DOING. SAM!?"

Before he could reply.

"You better promise me you won't lay another goddamn hand on Jake then I'll let you up!"

Then Mercedes bows her head to whisper softly in his ears, "if you don't you'll get acquainted to good my knife skills" as she slowly slides the dull side of her switchblade along his chin.

Cazzo. She's a sadistic bitch. A hot one at that. Sam couldn't help but shiver when Mercedes whispered in his ears. But no matter how sexy he finds her at this moment he had no intention of letting up. He wanted to spill more of that bastard's blood but he sees the very pissed face of Mercedes and decides not to.

"Fine. Now get the fuck off me."

Mercedes releases him and they all stand up to face each other.

Goddamn he's sexy when he's angry plus the vein on his neck and those arms- Mercedes shakes her head at those thoughts. She had to ignore those lusty thoughts and focus on the anger.

"Who do you think you are Sam? We've only known each other a day and you're already beating up a guy for hugging me."

"Yeah well I don't exactly appreciate my fiancé hiding in the bushes with another man. Who the fuck are you anyway?"

"He's Jake Artist I'm sure you've heard of him he's a pretty fucking good assassin",

Sam had heard of him, even before this morning's briefing about Mercedes, his reputation definitely preceded him.

"Well whoopee fuckin' doo, assassin or not, I don't appreciate other men canoodling with my fiancée".

Sam didn't really know where this jealousy came from, they'd only known each other a day, as she'd said, but she looked so fucking beautiful right now and she was his. It was him she was marrying, she was going to be his wife and Sam didn't appreciate people touching what was his.

"That's rich coming from you Playboy Evans. How many women have you fucked this week alone?".

"I don't have to fucking answer that and if you must know I haven't slept with anyone since we became engaged."

"Congratulations you've made it one day without cheating on your fiancée. Do you want a fucking medal?"

Mercedes words dropped with sarcasm and fury at his audacity.

Sam couldn't help but be turned on, or at least he was till that fucking bastard started speaking.

"Look, mi yute, calm yuh nerve-"

"Don't fucking speak to me of I'll put a bullet in your head"

"I'd like to see you try wasteman",

No, Jake was getting angry now. The sucker punch then Evans talking down at him like he was nothing when he has triple the number of kills and he is close to being the next if he keeps coming at him.

The three of them are standing in a triangle, breathing heavily and shaking with rage. It takes Mercedes stepping between them and asking Jake to leave to diffuse the situation.

"Fine, Cedes, I'll go, but he pulls any shit like that again call me."

Sam almost started at Jake again at that but he was on his way to his motorcycle before he could.

Sam turns his attention to Mercedes who was about 3 inches from his face, her back pressed up against the bush.

"For your information, Jake and I are just friends, siblings more than anything. But even if that weren't the case what gives you the fucking right to react like that?"

Sam stares down at her, yes he acts irrationally, but her face so close to him and her brown doe eyes sucking him in and her plump glossy lips making him want to bite them. He wasn't letting her get away.

"Because, bambina you're mine now and I'm yours. That's how this shit works. Neither of us asked to be in this situation but I'm sure as hell not going to let you play me for a fool by being with some little dick bastard and make me a laughing stock"

Mercedes looks up at him, a little startle by how close he was to her face. So close that one inch closer she might even kiss him. Ay Dios Mio, his possessiveness was getting her wet.

But instead of kissing him she-

SMACK

Mercedes slaps him across the face.

"Is your reputation all you fucking care about? Well you know what, here's a fucking deal. Neither of us fuck anyone else for our entire engagement."

Sam paused, Shes trying to fucking kill me! This is going to be hell of a month, CAZZO!

"If you manage to keep in the pants for a month and we're incompatible or unsatisfied then we can possibly, just maybe discuss this again. Because you're not fucking up my reputation either! Comprendre Ricosauve!"

Sam stares at Mercedes for about two minutes before holding his hand out to her.

"It's a deal. As long as we share a bed."

Mercedes snorts at that before shaking his hand.

Could baby Sammy Evans not sleep alone?

"No problem, your Papa already made sure that happened ".

Sam looks at her confused.

"Our stuff is already in the master bedroom together. Apparently on your Papa's orders."

Sam nods before looking at her and pondering over how he could rectify the last 15 minutes. No he couldn't do it over but he could find a way to make this 50,000 square feet villa be enjoyable without trying to kill each other.

"Look Mercedes, I'm sorry for how I've acted so far. I can be too impulsive, my Pa fucking hates it. I don't want us to hate each other, I don't hate you at all Mercedes but I'm not someone you fuck with okay? Or to be looked stupid! I don't want to see any shit like that again."

Mercedes looks at him out of the corner of her eye and decides to give this a shot just like Jake said he wasn't her father he not telling her she had to do something more like he could be a potential partner.

"Alright Sammy."

"Well can I call you Cedes?

"Sorry Evans but only my friends call me Cedes, and we are certainly not friends".

Sam shoots her glare. God he wanted to fuck her right now, his voice was deepens.

"Well I'll just have to call you other things won't I, bambina?" Sam grazes his finger along her chubby cheeks before dropping a quick kiss to the corner of her mouth before she could dodge it.

Damn he's smooth. Mercedes can't help but think as she watches him walk over to his car to leave the villa to meet up with his dad over some business.

Sam sends Mercedes a wink as she turns around to head to the main door giving Sam a wonderful view over a voluptuous perky ass.

Her ass is even better than I thought.

Thoughts? Jealousy is ugly thing but can be attractive when it shows possessiveness!
