He did not imdiately need her out of the shower. Instead, he turned off the faucet before grabbing the fluffiest towel and drying her.
Once she was wrapped around in another one, he took another towel and dropped it around his waist before picking her up and taking her into the bedroom.
The mont he let her down on the bed or knock disturb them making Salvatore curse under his breath.
Giving her a quick kiss on the forehead and then on the lips, he made his way to the door only to rip is open and bark as the person standing there, "what?"
"Sir.. Don Angelo is waiting for you in your office—"
"Tell him that we will talk tomorrow. It’s one fucking a.m."
"He has been waiting since then." The mber of the help rushed out. "I have been waiting for you to arrive."
Salvatore For once felt the shock. His father was waiting for him in his office for that long?
Nodding, she closed the door and went back to Evelyn. "I apologise, but you will have to go to bed without . Father is waiting and I cannot push it off."
"That’s fine," he smiled and lted his heart. " I will go to bed or would you like to wait for you?"
"Go to bed," he kissed hard before pulling away and walking into the closet. Getting dressed in A pair of jeans and T-shirt, he walked out of the room followed by the servant.
It hurt to walk away from Evelyn, especially when they had shared such a big mont, but work calls were bigger because it was more important to keep her safe.
He found his father in nursing a glass of whiskey, or maybe several, and by the ti he Took his seat behind the desk, he had poured Salvatore a glass as well.
"What is it?" he asked point blank. "It is not like you to be awake at this hour."
"Your mother asked sothing," Angelo began, "she talked to about sothing and from there I wanted to talk to you about an idea I had years ago."
"What idea?"
" The idea of priesthood."
"What?" Salvatore chuckled. "you want to join fucking priesthood? They would throw out for looking at it."
That made Angelo laugh but he sobered up pretty quickly. "no, not that. Priesthood is an idea I had Which consisted of mafia heads coming together and forming a circle, an alliance that was unbreakable."
"It could be your friends circle for all I give a fuck. But it is going to be sothing that would make everybody have each other’s back no matter what happens. If it’s an attack on one family, it’s an attack on every single family. So if it’s an attack on you, the revenge would he tenfold."
"why the fuck would you call a priesthood?" If anything, they were far from being a priest. They were sinners through and through. They were people that were no longer warm and inviting, but dark and dangerous just by looks.
Angelo chuckled, "because we can."
Salva laughed at the reply before tilting his head up to the roof and thinking about it. An alliance would only make them stronger, specially when multiple families ca together to found one.
As much as it hurt his pride to admit, they were things he could not do yet soone else as a headache could. That would work in his favour, that would work in everyone’s favour.
"you have been friends growing up, I took you to many families’ birthday parties and whatever the fuck it was. Those people know you since you grew up together, you put the idea in their head most of them will agree." Angelo added. " with the growing number of threats provided to each one’s door, it wouldn’t be long before everyone agreed."
"What made you think of this in the middle of the night?" Salvatore asked. "Priesthood..." he mumbled.
Angelo shrugged, "I thought about it for a long ti, I never made friends like you did. This would be of advantage to you more than it would be to ."
Salvatore nodded. That was true. He had made friends with many heirs while studying Unlike his father. Even though they kept out of touch almost always, this still had each other’s back.
"I can’t help but think how the fuck did you get that na."
Angelo laughed loudly. " I couldn’t help it. I wanted sothing.."
"Abnormal? Stupid? Ridiculous?"
"Fuck off, Kid." Angelo grumbled and drank the leftover drink in the glass in one go. "It’s your choice to do what I have suggested you do, this will benefit all of you in the long run. But at the end of the day it is your choice."
He got up from the chair, sighing heavily. "Night, Kid."
"Night, Papa."
His father posed for a brief second the mont the words left his mouth. Just when Salvatore was about to question, his father started moving again.
He blinked when the door closed.
Priesthood, the na was fucking fantastic but he would never agree to that in front of his father.
The idea was good as well. The more forces they had, the larger the territories, the muscle that increased, it was terrific. He could convince people, there were only handful of them that he would trust his and the life of his family in the hands of.
Perhaps it was ti to involve people in the family. Perhaps it was ti, He took the help of others and gave others his help because there was no way in hell that this power rush could be avoided now.
It would increase tenfold to what they had and he was willing to invest in all.
Reaching over to the receiver on his desk, he pulled out the book from the drawer that had the numbers of the friends he had made in school and colleges. Dialing in the first one, he sucked in a breath before he heard, "Yes?"
