[/font]Vince made the hard right onto the long drive that connected the main road with the mansion set back into the hills of California. He peered over his aviators at the sight before him. The mansion was familiar to him, after all he spent a lot of his time there. Not a lot of people could say they spent a lot of time at Lucia Ferrera's house, but he definitely could. It was his job to protect her, and he was apparently doing a very good job of it. Her manager was pleased with him; so pleased, in fact, he'd already gained a raise in pay from a salary that was opulent to begin with. Vincent was used to getting huge payouts to his jobs, but none of them had been quite so large or quite so consistent. He didn't even feel like he was doing anything, really. Part of that just stemmed from the perks of the job, which were also a part of this he was used to. But the curves his most recent boss had were not to be fucked with. Well, if given the chance, Vince would fuck with them. But if you had no place touching her, your fingers should probably stay away. Vincent was already quite territorial over her, no longer afraid to touch her or look threatening around her. That's what they paid him to do anyway. And he liked it.
He pulled his brand new motorcycle up to the garage, turning down the radio as he neared. The new bike was something he treated himself to after his last paycheck. He currently had more money than he knew what to do with, so this new toy seemed like the best option. Yes, he'd always had a bit of money to throw around but coming from military roots, all that cash went into savings that never really were spent... not for centuries. All that green just sitting in a bank account that some greedy member of the family somewhere far down along the line would take advantage of. But he had to admit, the visual rewards of this job were much more pleasing than the monetary. He wasn't a creeper, but he was a man after all. What male wouldn't enjoy this job? But he was beginning to wonder if maybe he was enjoying it a little too much. He understood the risks of having a sexual relationship with a boss - it had already happened to him once and it was a damned mess to clean up.
He didn't want to repeat with Lucia the mistakes he'd made with California. They might have been happy if he wasn't such a hot headed, commitment phobic person. He'd put off having a physical relationship with her for so long that finally, that night he gave in. And the next morning, he had a letter of resignation on her doorstep and a plane ticket for the next flight to the other side of the country. He shut off his bike, placing both feet firmly on the ground to keep from toppling over. He swung one leg over as he simultaneously removed the key from the ignition, placing the kickstand into position to keep the bike upright. It was shiny and silver, reflective in the sunlight as he admired it for half a second before turning toward the door to the garage. He opened the security system, pressing a sequence of numbers on the number pad. It wasn't a simple code, nor was it a simple security system. It was the works and would be damn near impossible to bypass without the entire code, which took him a couple weeks to memorize. He finished it, and the machine gave a satisfied beep as the deadbolt to the door clicked open. He smiled with satisfaction as he stepped through to shut it, and lock it back.
Vincent lifted his sunglasses to rest them on top of his head as he passed through the garage and into her house through the kitchen. It was empty, and he wasn't surprised. He toed off his shoes just inside like he always did. Apparently he tracked dirt into the house unlike any other. The maid, although half in spanish, alerted him of his dirty ways the first time he entered her house and left his shoes on. He hadn't understood all she said and for that he was thankful considering most of it sounded like curse words. But nonetheless, he understood the part about taking his shoes off to make her job easier. Vince wasn't obnoxious, so he decided to just obey. "Luce?" his baritone voice bellowed from the stainless-steel and cherry-oak kitchen. Wherever she was in the house, she could probably hear him considering his voice carried well no matter the setting. It had to - he'd been a Marine sergeant, and being soft spoken wasn't exactly an option while commanding a battalion of a hundred or more privates. He set his keys and sunglasses on the kitchen counter along with his wallet and cell phone. He was here for their usual weekend dinner, which they had to plan the next week's events. At least, that's what they called it. Vince just liked spending time with her one on one.
