A MAFIA LOVE STORY Chapter 113
Being with Jake , making love with Jake , was always amazing. But it had never been like this. His hands moved over her curves, his touch reverent, his lips soft but urgent on her skin. And when he claimed her, surged into her body, she truly felt as though she didn’t know where she began and he ended.She dug her nails into his shoulders, locked him more tightly against her by wrapping her legs around his hips and she arched into him and gave in to the pleasure that was coursing through her body. But it was more than that. More than just a physical reaction brought on by sexual arousal and release.His body went taut above hers, the tendons in his neck standing out, ahoarse grunt signaling his orgasm. She held him to her, felt his heart beatinghard against her chest. It was so much more than sex. So much more than afling.And she didn’t think she could face it.Before she and Jake had started sleeping together, they’d been colleagues, they’d almost been friends and then they’d move

She slid out of his arms and went into the living room, clutching her arms, trying to keep herself from shivering.It didn’t matter how she felt about Jake .She laughed out loud into the empty room. It did matter. Now that she knew what her feelings meant, she knew she had to finish with him. She shook her head. She’d done what she’d promised herself, and him, shewouldn’t. She’d fallen in love with her first lover.She sank onto the couch and drew her knees up to her chest, her heart pounding so hard she thought it might break. The pain so severe she was certain it already was.She couldn’t do it. She couldn’t stay. Not feeling like she did.A tear slid down her cheek.She was so afraid that if she stayed, she would give him everything.Everything she’d learned to hold inside, all of the emotions she’d learned to carefully suppress. And they wouldn’t be enough for him, either. She wasn’t enough. She never had been. Her love hadn’t been enough for her own mother, why would it mean any

He wasn’t enough for Kalia, either.She looked up at him and for a moment, he was certain he saw pain in her eyes, until she masked it again with the blank expression she’d been wearing when he walked into the room.“Then why prolong it?” she asked, standing. “I’ll get a cab.”“Why? You have to be at work soon. I can drive you,” he ground out.She looked away from him. “I don’t know…”“It’s just a fling, Kalia,” he bit out. “And we always knew that it would end. And we agreed you would continue to work for me.”She sucked in a sharp breath. “Of course. My job is important to me.Another reason why I don’t think it’s smart to prolong this. I don’t want it affecting our work.”Something about the way she said that made his stomach burn. Her job was important. What had passed between them wasn’t.He couldn’t even believe that only moments before he’d been imagininghaving a baby with her. Had even thought they could make it work. But she was no different than his parents, and when it came

It had made her successful in some ways, but she had allowed it to stunt her in so many other ways. She was still letting it stop her.She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. She wanted Jake . She didn’tknow if he wanted her, not in the same way she wanted him. She didn’t know if he could ever love her.Her own mother hadn’t loved her half as much as she’d loved the various men that had paraded through her life.It galled her to find out that the thing that had kept her from a relationship, from love, was the fear that she wasn’t good enough. She hid it by focusing on things she excelled at, and she simply ignored everything else, so that she didn’t have to face it.She wasn’t going to do it anymore. She felt as if she was back on the edge of the cliff again, the ocean at the bottom, a swirling sea of uncertainty beneath her. She could turn and run, as she had done before, or she could face it head-on. She’d managed to do that with business, to face downopponents in the media, wi

He blew out a harsh breath and stood from his desk just as the door to his office opened. Kalia stepped in, hair in a knot, prim and proper outfit skimming her curves like always. Making him want to see the beauty that lay beneath.She turned on shut the door, the lock clicking softly.“Jake ,” she said softly, her voice shaking.He thought of the first time she’d walked into his office for a job interview. Her manner had been confident, her voice steady. She looked far removed from that woman now. There was vulnerability, real emotion.“I didn’t expect you this early,” he said.“I couldn’t sleep.”“I couldn’t sleep, either.” Their eyes caught and held, and he knew they had both been sleepless for the same reason.“I thought … Jake , I have to tell you,” she said. “I thought that not needing anyone made me strong. I didn’t want to be like my mother and need things from other people all the time. So I avoided relationships. And then I met you, and I wanted you, I wanted you enough that

Olive. “I’m guessing they got rid of you, Olive, because you are strong and they didn’t like that. The way you grabbed my hand, anyone else in the pack you would have shattered their wrist. I felt the power that’s inside you.” He stood behind me, so close, too close. His hands went to my hips, and i closed her eyes.“I feel your fear. I bet you avoid touch a lot, don’t you?”"I never used my power back in the pack and they didn't get rid of me. No one knows how strong i am. I ran away because they raped me and i couldn't stay anymore. I would hurt them, really bad. All of them." i finally managed to say as it all came back to me. How much my father hated me and mistreated me. “ I am so sorry that happened to you Olive. I really am. No one deserves to go through such treatment and abuse."“I don’t want to die,” i managed to say. “I don’t want to go feral, and I don’t want to hurt anyone.”“Then I will teach you how to handle your strength. I will help you get in control of your wolf,

As soon as i stepped into the house, the aroma hit me, adele was playing in the background. Olivia loved cooking on her days off, she was actually saving up to open her own restaurant some day.I put the keys on the console table and my bag and headed straight to the kitchen. She was dancing slowly to the music. She was in her bathrobe and had another towel on her head. She didn't even hear me come in. How could she when she was in her zone. I leaned on the kitchen table watching her, but a few seconds later she turned around."Hey, you scared me. When did you get in here?" she asks taking a seat at the dining table. Before i could even answer her, she starts speaking again, "where have you been? You disappeared on me yesterday and i had been trying to reach you, but your phone is off.""Well that's kind of a long story, can i have some of that deliciousness?" i ask as i head to the sink to wash my hands."Well baby girl i got time, it's my day off remember." she says as she gets up an

Alec.“Is it all cooked?” i asked.“Yes.”“What about the chicken? I know we are wolves, but even we can get stomachache from food.”Her hand was white as she clenched her knife, and i saw that it had also bent just a little.“Do you have a problem with my food?” she asked.“I’m just making sure you’re not serving substandard stuff to my pack.” I said.“I would never do that.”“I don’t know that, do I?” i asked. “I don’t even know you, and you are a newbie here.”I saw the pain flash in her eyes, and i hated myself for my words, but it had to be done. This had to be done.Taking a bite, i wrinkled my nose even as my mouth watered. “Too much rosemary.”She didn’t say or do anything, just took a bite.I was aware of the pack watching my every move. Pushing some of my food around my plate, i took a bite of the carrot. “That’s too sweet.”It was fucking heavenly.This woman could cook, and i felt spoiled for choice on what to eat.Again, she just took a deep breath and kept on eating.

A MAFIA LOVE STORY Chapter 192
Kalia.I had been working for him for a couple of months now as his pr, and still I was not used to it. The fact that the very first thing I felt when Jake’s deep, masculine voice pulled me out of the deep sleep I had been in was a shiver of excitement, and not a pang of annoyance, was disturbing on a lot of levels, all of which I was too tired to analyze in that particular moment.“It’s one in the morning, Jake .” I said, as I blinked against the blinding light radiating from the screen of my smartphone. After four months in working for him, I should know better than to be surprised by a midnight phone call, but somehow every time it happened it caught me unprepared. “It’s nine a.m. in England.” He said, “And we have a crisis on our hands?” I immediately rolled over and brushed myhair out of my face, the cool sheets from the side of the bed that had been unoccupied chilling me slightly.“The sky isn’t falling, if that’s what you mean, but we have protesters lining the streets at

Kalia.And I had vowed i wouldn’t become like that. I wasn’t letting anyone have control over my life again.Although, obviously Jake had some modicum of control over my life since he was my boss and my child's father, but that was different. “If you expect me to buy new clothes you have to give me time to shop.” I said facing him with a straight face, after all this was his event he was inviting me to, it only made sense. “You can have the afternoon off.” I shook my head, my tight bun staying firmly in place. “Morning and afternoon. I need some sleep too.”“Morning to lunch hour,” he countered.“Deal.”“No black. No beige.” He added“It’s an art gala, most of the women will be in black.” I said defensively “I know, and that’s exactly why I want you to wear something else.”I frowned. “I’m not in the habit of allowing men to dictate what I wear. I can choose for myself.”He stood from his desk, and I was distracted, as I always was when he surprised me like that, by the superb sha

Jake was from a fairly affluent family, that was general knowledge. It surprised me that he’d had to take out loans to start up his company.When we were married he never talked to me about this type of stuff, or anything business related at all. Which is why I loved our new arrangement, I felt needed and smart. I was not just a pretty girl. “But now you have to play the diplomacy game,” I said.“I would anyway. I develop resort and hotel properties, the public has to have a favorable view of me.”“That’s true.”For the most part, the public did have a favorable view of him. He was charismatic and charming and dated the most eligible women in Hollywood, which put him on the front cover of a lot of magazines andmade him very high profile for a businessman. He was also a slave driving taskmaster, but only his employees knew that. And in fairness, he never expected anything from her that he didn’t expect from himself. In fact, he seemed to expect more from himself.Which was why, even

Kalia. In theory, I liked sexy men, at least from a distance. When said sexy man was both my baby daddy and boss, it made life a bit more complicated. It didn’t really matter, though. Business was business and I had no intention of crossing any lines with him. I wasn’t his type anyway. He liked party girls. The shallower, and the shorter the skirt, the better. Of course, I wasn’t entirely certain what my type was as far as practical application went. Judging by my recent string of failed dates I didn’t really have a type.“How many shots?” he asked, lowering the cup.“four,” I answered, trying to bring my mind back into the present and away, far, far away, from his lips.“Good. It’s going to be a long day.” i sat down in the chair by his desk, pulled my notebook out of my briefcase and sat poised with a pen in my hand.“Why do you do that?” he asked.“Do what?”“Take physical notes on paper.

Jake.I had never seen Kalia look less than perfect. She always looked beautiful, even when she rushed into the office at two in the morning to handle some sort of media crisis. But in a dark navy blue gown with ruffled sleeves, a demure neckline and a back that dipped so low it ought to be illegal, she was stunning.Her hair was pinned to the side so that her curls cascaded over one shoulder, and didn’t cover any of the skin that was on display in the back of the gown. Her makeup was more dramatic than she usually wore to the office and her legs were bare, and on glorious show, the dress barely skimming her knees. And they were amazing legs.My libido kicked into gear, a reminder that I hadn’t had sex in a very long time. But business had been intense and when I hadn’t been focused on my various building projects I had been handling Maya’s big move into her new, off campus apartment. An apartment she hadn’t wanted, because she couldn’t afford it herself. But there was no way I was let

JakeI put my hand on the small of her back, on her bare skin, and I felt a small shiver go through her whole body. She was feeling every bit of the attraction I was. Strange, because I had only ever seen her in herbuttoned up professional mode for a while now, now suddenly she was unbuttoned and very, very hot. Although, she had always been hot. I had thought more thanonce about uncoiling her tightly wound hair and watching the dark curls tumble down.She shifted against me, her hip brushing my body intimately. My muscles tensed and desire roared through me, my body hardening at the accidental contact.I drew her closer, letting her feel. Letting her know exactly what she was doing to me. I didn’t hit on employees as a rule, ever. But she tempted me. And that was a new experience. Women appealed to me, and I desired them. But I had never considered them a serious temptation. If itwasn’t the right time, it was easy for me to leave my date standing on the doorstep and go home withou

KaliaI bit my lip. This side of Jake always confused me . In some ways he seemed more uncomfortable having people know anything good about him.He didn’t seem to mind the negative press that came when he dated one supermodel, then switched to an actress the next night. But he didn’t seem to want to let anyone know about his good behavior. And there was something about that that made me almost like him sometimes, and that made all the other physical things he made me feel intensify.“It’s … okay, events like this are definitely a little bit fake. It’s see and be seen. Most people are flashing their bids all over the place.” I jerked my head toward the glittering celebrities and debutantes gathered around different pieces of art, waving their bids around while they talked.“I don’t play the game,” he said. “It doesn’t appeal to me.”“You have to play the game a little bit, Jake It’s good for business.”“What’s it like for you, doing a job that’s so at odds with who you are?”The questi
