Caught In The Middle

A real gangster

*Trigger warning*

Reese was sitting on a bench seat just off to the right of the steps leading up from the parking lot to the main administration building so had the perfect view when a blacked out Bentley was admitted through the security guard post and into the carpark followed by a large tow-truck.

The Bentley pulled into the space next to Quinn’s Mustang as she got out of it, glancing nervously over at where Reese was plainly in sight before the driver of the Bentley got out and opened the back door for her and she clambered in and the driver closed the door. The tow-truck went about his business hooking Quinn’s car up.

Quinn slid in beside Antonio and looked up at him with concern. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

“Quiet.” He ordered in that low smooth tone. “I don’t want to hear any excuses or apologies just tell me what happened.” He was firm but calm and she knew that could mean trouble.

How did she explain this without admitting to Cory and Reese both being interested in her. Antonio would shoot them both dead.

“I have had problems with the junior and senior girls from a certain sorority…the specific group seemed to think I should be a part of their exclusive little clique and wanted me to join the cheerleading team and move into their frat house…” She knew it wasn’t a lie but still felt a little like she was lying. She knew there was no way Antonio would ever let her join a cheer squad and wear those short skirts and flash her underwear to everyone.

“You refused I take it.” Antonio said darkly as he clucked his tongue. He hated mindless stupid s**t and this was all over that so Quinn knew he would be pissed on two fronts. “You should have told me you were having problems.”

“I’m not having problems I can’t handle…it would be worse if I had to call you in! Please…but it’s gone too far this time.”

Antonio sucked his teeth, appraising her answer. “Alright, I get that…I know what college is like I’m not many years out of it myself and I went here, believe it or not.”

“You did? Huh, I guess that makes sense…” Quinn looked away, chewing her lip and watching the towie with her car.

Antonio’s fingers curled under her chin and lifted it making her look back at him, he glanced at her neck and smirked to see she covered the bruises with makeup. “I’m going to need a proper thank you this weekend, something really special, petalo…but for now kiss me before I go speak to Chancellor Bayton in regards to what he plans to do about this and remind him just who I am and that perhaps he should be taking better care of you.”

“He says the security footage doesn’t show enough to do anything…it’s clearly two guys, but they were wearing sheets over their heads like ghosts so it looked like just a stupid prank. I know Mila did this…”

“Well without evidence you can’t accuse her…” His eyes narrowed. “Kiss. Now.”

His dark eyes watched with amusement as she moved closer in her seat and lifted her mouth to his, pressing her lips on his and closing her eyes. His hand drifted from her chin to the back of her neck, threading his fingers into her hair at the back of her scalp and gripping tightly as he opened his mouth and licked along her lips.

She opened her mouth immediately to him and as he dipped his tongue inside her mouth, he pulled on her hair, tilting her head back and sideways so he could cover her mouth completely and dominate her. He kissed her for a full minute before moving away with a satisfied smirk, wiping her chin with his thumb, seeing her breathless, flushed and dazed. He chuckled. “Stay here with Danny, I’ll speak to the Chancellor regarding this myself. Come, Matteo.” He opened his own door.

Quinn looked at the driver, Danny and Matteo in the front seats and blushed embarrassed, but nodded. “Yes, sir.”

As Antonio got out of the car with Matteo stepping out of the front passenger seat, he looked around the campus and buttoned up his suit jacket. There were a few students still hanging around and his eyes scanned them all with a slow disinterested gaze before he walked towards the main building. Heads turned and whispering started up, girls gaped and giggled behind their hands. He was an impressive sight and with Matteo behind him they looked dangerous and compelling.

Reese sat up slightly in shock to see none other than Antonio Ferrante get out of the Bentley after what felt like an eternity after Quinn got in. He must have been getting her full story. Reese wondered if that included him.

Why was Antonio here? She had said her brother…called him a real gangster…

“No f*****g way! This is impossible!”

Reese felt like he might be in for an encounter he couldn’t handle and watched as Antonio approached but kept walking.

Antonio’s gaze slid sideways for merely a second as he past Reese by, not even giving him a change of expression before he was past and heading inside, but that momentary gaze had sent a chill through Reese.

That was a gaze of a true blooded killer.

“f*****g hell.” Reese breathed as he grit his teeth and looked back at the Bentley where Quinn was. “What the f**k is going on here?”

He was glad he hadn’t been recognized by Antonio, at least he hoped he hadn’t…and he really hoped what Quinn had said about paying her brother back wasn’t what was creeping up the back of his mind.

.

Quinn was sitting on Antonio’s lap, her hands cuffed together and hooked over the back of his neck so she had to lie back on his chest, her legs spread over his as he played his fingers through her p***y.

“Are you going to tell me what really happened at college, Quinn?” Antonio breathed into her neck.

Quinn tensed up. “I did tell you, it was Mila, she’s had it out for me since day one.”

“Why? Because you’re prettier than her?”

“I don’t know…I think she thinks I’m acting stuck up because I refused their offer to join their sorority.”

“Good thing you did, sororities mean fraternities, which means horny f**k boys, parties and drinking if I remember rightly.”

“Exactly why I said no.” Quinn replied hastily.

“Good girl…you really are a good girl, petalo.” Antonio crooned in her ear. “But I’m still pissed at the car…so how about you get this sweet little ass into the playroom…I just bought a new paddle that I want to soften up on your hide.”

He ducked his head out from her tied hands and pushed her off his lap and onto her feet. She stood up and looked back at him with wide scared eyes.

“It wasn’t my fault…”

Antonio gazed up at her, sucking on his teeth. “And Christmas is in July…I don’t care two f***s if you’re lying to me about why someone took it upon themselves to vandalize your car, Quinn, because in the end I get to punish you for it regardless just for lying to me.”

Quinn’s legs started to tremble under her as he stood up and grabbed her throat, bringing his face down to hers. “But if I ever find out the real reason is actually because of some f**k boy, you and him are going to die slowly.”

He shoved her back and she staggered. “Now move!”
