Run This Town 2

Ciara

Boxes.

No matter how many times Ciara moved, it surprised her how many boxes it took to pack up an entire life. It felt like she’d been taping boxes closed for hours, but the stack of cardboard didn’t seem to shrink. These were the same boxes she used to move her belongings to Luka Belmonte’s condo not even two weeks ago. With luck, this would be the last move for a long while.

“Why does one man need so much paperwork?” Ciara grumbled as an assistant collected her most recent stack of boxes. The tape gun at her feet was running low, and still there was no end in sight.

“Because in politics, if you don’t document every breath you take and every dollar you think about spending, someone will dig up your mysterious inactivity. Then, accuse you of walking off with thirteen million taxpayer dollars.”

Luka leaned against the door frame leading into his small office, eyes set upon her. His arms crossed loosely over his chest, wrinkling his white shirt with his lax posture. The knot his tie hung loose, the top two buttons of his shirt undone. Ciara didn’t stop her eyes from drifting down over the stretch of chest exposed.

“That’s very specific.” A stretch of tape sealed the bottom of the latest box and tore free from the gun. Ciara smoothed the edges down to make sure it was closed properly. “Did that happen to your father?”

“Dad? No. Ted Urawitz, 1946. Back then, thirteen million was a big deal. Now, it wouldn’t even pave a sidewalk.”

Since Luka’s landslide victory in the race for mayor, something had changed about him. Maturity, Ciara thought. When she first met Luka he was little more than a boy riding the coattails of his famous father. Since that time he’d grown fiercely independent and paved his own way forward. At only twenty-eight years old, and as New York’s youngest mayor, he had a lot to prove. She knew that her opinion was biased, but Ciara believed he’d prove to the city they made the right choice.

“No one will accuse you of embezzling money when you haven’t even started your first day in office yet. Are all of these papers really necessary?”

With a push of his shoulder, Luka propelled himself up from where he was leaning and strode toward her. There was sharp purpose in how he moved, almost as if he were a cat encroaching on its prey. Ciara watched as he advanced, pausing from her tape work to gaze into his warm brown eyes. He stopped just short of her work perimeter and looked down at her. Seated on the floor of campaign headquarters as she was, it wasn’t all that difficult to do.

“You caught me. Truth is, I have a thing for beautiful women and tape guns. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to get one in your hand.
