Vivian POVI can't believe that arrogant caveman. I know he is clueless when it comes to women, but he has no heart whatsoever."Ms. V, please calm down." Marie shushed me while blotting my makeup. I only let a few tears fall, but it was enough to make my eyeliner run. "I'm sorry Marie. I didn't mean to ruin my makeup. He just gets me so pissed off how he thinks he owns me. I'm losing my mind in this house and he finds it amusing.""Oh child, are you so blind you don't see how he cares for you? Niko had no one growing up and was raised to be a protector of the families. He doesn't know how to love, but he shows you in other ways.""By constantly requesting my body for his pleasure. That isn't love, that is lust. That man wants me because I'm young with a nice body. If I was killed tonight, he would be upset he failed Tommy and nothing else. Probably relieved he didn't have to listen to my tantrums anymore.""Maybe..." she sighed before continuing. "I've known the Capo since he was a b
Niko POV"You didn't fix anything." I said calmly, trying to not to lose my temper as I pointed to her body on the floor."Why is she in the closet?" Paul asked. He was half awake from being dragged out of bed. I needed him to see how messed up she was though. "I don't know!" I spit out through gritted teeth. I picked up her small body that fit perfectly in my arms then laid her on her bed. "I said to fix her!" I ordered Paul then walked out. The next morning, I heard her laughing at the table. She never woke before me. I glanced at the time and it was six am like every morning I came down here."What are you wearing?" I asked, scanning her body. She had a bra and half of those stocking things on. Who sits down to breakfast in a bra?"I'm taking V on a run of the property." Paul answered for her. "If that's ok, Capo?" he quickly added. She rolled her eyes at him. "Of course it is ok. I'm allowed to do anything I want, just as long as I don't leave the property... ever." She looked a
Vivian POVNiko asked if I was afraid of him and I blurted out the truth. I should have said "duh, you're a beast with no heart. Everyone is afraid of you." There was something about the way he looked at me though. He liked the fear running through my body, but somehow, I knew he wouldn't hurt me. Not just because of the stupid vow. He wanted me at his mercy. Probably to fuck me senseless, but at least it wasn't to kill me.I cleaned up my garden some then headed upstairs to change for dinner. Tonight, we had guests and prisoners arriving. This should be fun. One more check I can make on the list of things I never wanted to experience in life.I sat quietly at dinner, waiting nervously for these prisoners. I couldn't get them out of my head and had no idea who they were. Would they be beast like Niko, bound and blind folded? Is Niko really going to peel skin from their bodies while I sleep a few rooms above them? How do these people carry on like this? I glanced toward Niko and his
Niko POVThe second my gaze turned to Vivian standing in a sexy red night dress at the bottom of the stairs I knew I was fucked. She would shoot herself to protect these kids and I couldn't let them go. I wouldn't harm them though, well, unless they were little brats for me. For now, I needed to get them some place locked away. Little kids or not, they are the enemy and they know it. The boy had a hard stare at me. I knew that look and he would be foolish enough to try and take one of us out. I really hoped he didn't because then I would have to punish him. Blood and gore didn't bother me, but not from defenseless children.She asked to go to the basement with them and my immediate answer was, fuck no. She didn't belong down there in that filthy dungeon where we tortured our traitors and enemies. I looked at the girl again and saw the blood on her arm. They did need to get cleaned up and Viv was on track to be a doctor. I let them go then went straight to her room. No way was she sta
Vivian POVI gave the girl some blood clot medicine and started an IV drip. She was bleeding internally and I had no idea how bad it was. I knew Niko wouldn't take her to a hospital though. The way he threatened the boy he probably hoped the girl would die so he had one less prisoner to deal with. Any hatred I had for that man just increased ten folds. How could he order these children to be taken then beaten like this? He may look like a beast, but he was a coward."Is she ok?" Michael asked with tears rapidly falling out of his eyes. All his anger was gone. Sadness and fear of losing his sister replaced it."I'm not sure. If she isn't bleeding too bad or not for too long the medicine I gave her should help stop the bleeding. This IV is hydrating her to help her heal. All we can do now is wait. Her heartbeat is strong though." I pressed two fingers to her wrist and took her heart rate again. It was steady so she should be ok. "Paul, can you move a bed in here for the boy? He needs s
Niko POVThe second I walked into that cell and saw Paul curled up next to her my rage was set on fire in a way I never knew before. I couldn't move a muscle in my body because the only thing I wanted was to rip that man's arms off his body.She layed there perfectly asleep, looking like a total mess with a little girl and boy cuddled in her arms. I didn't like her down here and I didn't like that Paul was always comforting her. I didn't want to hold her, despite my fingers twitching at my side to snatch her out of that bed. She needed comfort and Paul was actually helping her. Could I remove him from her life and she still be ok? I knew the answer was no. She wasn't ok even with him here but she was happier.The second I got her upstairs in the shower all I wanted was to take her bare body under the water with mine. I was feigning to feel her skin and it only added to my frustration. I was jealous of Paul and now pining over her body. What the fuck is wrong with me? I never had the
Vivian POVAfter the kids were showered the doctor came to check on them both. Amy was very apprehensive and I quickly learned why. She had lashes all over her back, broken bones that never healed properly, and she was very malnourished. I thought her frail bruised state was from Niko's men, but these were old injuries.I tried speaking some to her but she closed down. Michael was getting angry so I dropped the subject and took them to my garden. Amy's eyes light up with pure joy at the scene I created out here. I told her about my butterflies and she begged me to help more survive. They were on the endangered species list which broke my heart. These beautiful creatures needed to be saved from the cruelty of our world.I didn't know how long she would be staying with us but I hoped it was forever. Would it be wrong to steal her from her dad, even though he allowed this abuse to carry on?While Amy ran around the fields chasing fireflies that had just come out in the dusk Michael sat ne
Niko POVThis woman says not to touch her then kneels at my feet and sucks my dick so fucking good. I don't understand her, but I'm not complaining right now. Her lips wrapped around my cock was perfect. The second I saw her in that tight silky night dress with her tits looking plump and perfect I nearly lost control. I said I wouldn't ask for her again but she showed up at my door and in that sexy little dress. I couldn't help myself as I pulled her into my room. Today was a long fucked up day and I just needed one good thing. Vivian has the perfect body to let all my anger, sadness, and frustration out in. I needed to be inside her at night. I needed to ravish this body and make it mine every day.Then she says she came to say thank you. That was the best thank you I ever received. "Thank you? I don't know what for but I'll do it ever fucking day to get that again." Most of the time I spoke to her I had no idea what I was saying. I didn't know how to talk to women let alone while
Niko POv“What are you doing?" My kitten asked with venom in her voice. She knew I was up to something, and it drove her crazy."Nothing!" I shrugged my shoulders. Soon she will see him standing over there. Would she recognize him? "Sophia and Dominick are running late. Charlie hasn't been doing well with her teething. They are staying the week though. I have the guest wing prepared for them."I let out an annoyed sigh. I hated it when they came to visit."Niko! Be nice to your cousins." She warned."When that annoying woman stops stealing all my wife's attention, I'll like her more." I grunted out. Every time Sophia came Viv and her were glued to the hip. They even spent the whole night drinking and painting their nails. She was supposed to be mine every night and for some reason I had to share her with that little woman. You would think with them living in Chicago it would be enough distance, but it wasn't. "Stop being a child. Now tell me what you are up to. I don't want any prob
Niko POV"Paul, kill that fucker before I lose my temper!" I ordered my second as bullets flew past us."No way! She is your wife, you deal with her wrath." He dared talk back to me. I should have put a bullet in his head, but he was right. No one wanted to deal with Viv's anger. Over the years I may have given her too much power in the families. My men practically coward at her feet with one cold glare from her eyes. "Fuck! How do I get through to him?" I shouted to Paul."I don't know. He is fucking pissed and isn't listening.""Niko, come out and play!" The boy's voice taunted me."Will you just listen to me. I'm not here to kill you." I tried reasoning with him again."Oh, but I am here to kill you. You aren't worth anything Niko. I'll gut you for what you did to my sister." Fuck! He had been brainwashed all these years. How the fuck can I calm him down. My phone started vibrating and there was my goddess with a see threw shirt displaying on my phone. She gets on my ass everyda
Niko POVAfter making love to my soon to be wife I watched her until I became hard inside her again. It didn't take long and I planned on owning this body all night.She was fucking perfect and now I had her. She was no longer trapped under me. She willingly laid at my mercy, wanting every part of my soul. Being by her side wasn't enough for her and I wasn't sure what to feel about her proposal. She wanted my devotion to her. She wanted me as her husband. I didn't understand how she could love me, but I also didn't care. I would take everything she offered because I needed her as mine.I leaned down, kissing her lips softly and circling my hips. "I love you. I need you." I said between kisses. "Right now, I need to own your body. Can you handle my beast?" I lightly nibbled on her lips, praying that answer was yes. I began thrusting hard into her as she hummed back to me and I lost my willpower to restrain myself. Then her body popped up like she was in pain. I quickly slid out of her
Vivian POVI walked Niko to my garden and he looked almost disappointed. I know he really just wanted me naked in his bed, but I needed to know if he would choose me forever, or if this was just a game to get me under him again. I made my choice, now he needed to make his. "Wow! Did you have all my guards working out here? It hasn't even been 48 hours since I left." Niko looked around my garden filled with purple and white flowers for Amy, red roses for me, white lilies for my aunt, and the rest a rainbow of colors mixed with grass covering or ferns. "I did put them to work, but they happily agreed." I smiled at him. He looked at me for a moment and his eyes got big. He was realizing what this meant now."You are staying! This is your home!" For the first time since he walked through the front door, he lowered his walls. His harsh demanding voice faded away and his cold stare warmed to my eyes."I want to stay, but I want it all Niko. I'm a strong, loud mouth, independent woman. I ca
Vivian POVAfter we texted in the afternoon, I couldn't stop thinking about him. He wanted me in a skimpy lingerie and for some reason I wanted to please him. I had hoped he would be home before morning so, I got dressed in a little black night set, that was really just straps holding all my best features in the perfect position. When he began texting me at night, I had no idea it would turn into phone sex. I never let myself go so wild with anyone before, but the need for him was overwhelming. Once everything inside me burst over my fingers I was filled with so many emotions.He practically begged for me to stay, but I couldn't say it. I wanted him, but I couldn't say I would be his again. How could I need his embrace, yet pull away at the same time?I woke to a text from my beast saying good morning, beautiful. I stared at my phone for a long time. I could wake every morning to his husky voice, sometimes his large tongue. Would I really be able to just pack up and leave him? I ate
Niko POVRandy, Paul, and I arrived in Vegas by the late afternoon and I couldn't wait to get this over with. I had a long plan to cut off every one of his fingers, then peel his skin off his arms, then finally, leave him tied up as he bled out. Now I just wanted to walk in and put a bullet in his head so I could get back to Vivian. That fucking body was calling me every second of the day. I think I have a chance of taking it and I was here with this bullshit. I had to be the one to end him though. The families needed to understand that I was the Capo and I didn't take any orders or demands. Well, unless it was Viv giving them. Then I'll happily fulfill her every request. Especially in bed. Would she want me to take her to bed? "Capo!" Paul spoke my name in anger. My eyes stoned to pure evil as I faced him. "Sorry, boss. You were just standing there. The car is here." Paul coward down to my cold glare."Let's get this over with." Was all I could say as I got in the car. Fuck, I real
Vivian POVI walked downstairs with a smile on my face. I was nervous to go to his room last night, but now I was glad I did. He held me all night, spoke honestly, and he was even playful. Niko was my beast yet I've only seen him kneel to my ever demand since I returned. I knew in my heart I wanted to stay. My mind was still at odds with this decision though. I slowly opened my heart to him before and he ripped it wide open then stomped on it. Could he really change this much in such a short time? Could we make a real future together? I wasn't even sure what I wanted in my future anymore. Other than Amy, nothing in my life felt whole.The table was full of life at breakfast this morning. Everyone was chatting and joking around. I found myself tearing a few times watching all my friends laughing as I did too. This felt right. Niko didn't engage in much conversation, but he listened and he wasn't bruting. "Are you ready boss?" Paul asked as we finished eating. We sat there for over an
Niko POVI woke remembering the best dream where Viv was in my arms to find it was not a dream at all. She was really here. I put her to bed in her room despite wanting to carry her to my bed. Then in the middle of the night she came to me. "Good morning, beautiful." My voice was a bit raspy from sleep. I felt her body squirming awake and couldn't help but watch her body next to mine. "Good morning, beast." Her lips pulled a small smile, making everything inside me erupt in butterflies. "Did something happen or could you not resist me?" I teased. I was actually concerned something bad scared her. I can't imagine her leaving Amy's side if there was a threat though."I was just missing you and decided to crawl in your bed. Do you not want me here?""I always want you here." "I like being here with you." We didn't say anything else. I was afraid she would tell me she was still leaving and I couldn't handle that right now. We stayed in bed for at least an hour just cuddling each other
Vivian POVHe walked into the dining room in a black suit that was half a mess. Sleeves rolled up, top buttons undone, and hair ruffled. His muscles were throbbing, probably from all the tension in his body and it made my eyes walk over every inch of his skin. I don't know how and I don't know when, but something inside me just snapped into place about Niko. Maybe it was his vow, or how he looked at me like a mystical creature too far above him to even touch, or maybe it was his devotion to give me anything I ask of. All I knew was that somehow a brick wall came crashing down and now everything inside me flooded with emotions. Mostly, I just wanted to curl into his arms and hear his rough voice tell me it was all ok. I hadn't decided what it all meant though. I still wasn't sure if I could live this life or abide by their rules. I saw it all as barbaric and unfair. A few families with all this power. Niko killed Joseph, who was my half-brother, in his basement. He attacked Jonathan a
