Vivian’s POV
As promised, Tommy snuck in my bed last night and made me orgasm so many times I lost count. He was so skillful with every part of his body. I often wonder how he learned everything he knew. Was there some class men can take somewhere? He would have aced every one of those lessons.I had one exam today that I knew I passed with flying colors and was now all giddy to meet Tommy for dinner. I needed some answers and last night we did everything but talk. When I woke in the morning he was gone, like most mornings.At first it was perfect. I didn't want any relationships and I loved that he didn't press any boundaries. I was here pursuing my medical degree, far from home and with no family or friends close by.My parents were both lawyers, but died when I was only ten in a car accident. I was in the back seat unable to do anything but watch them bleed out. I knew that was why I wanted to be a doctor. I never wanted to watch helplessly while someone I loved died.Of course, I never loved anyone after I lost my parents though. Tommy was the first person I let get close to me. It was by pure accident too. We hooked up at a party last year, then kept finding each other, mostly in bed. I can't even recall exactly when it happened, but I was finding myself counting down the minutes until we saw each other again.Tommy was so free with a wild spirit. His best friends Danny, Paul, and Gio were always at his side that sometimes they seemed more like bodyguards than friends.Danny and Paul were like annoying, foul mouth brothers, and Gio was the serious one. He didn't like our relationship and made it very obvious with his stares and comments to me. I didn't understand, but we were just casually hooking up in the beginning so I didn't care either.Then something happened, somehow we became inseparable. Every night he snuck into my bed and I found myself unable to fall asleep until he came to me.My 21st birthday just passed and Tommy threw me a huge party on a boat. A boat he rented! No, it was more like a freaking yacht. He went all out for me. He even gave me a bracelet as my present that was probably more money than everything I owned combined.I knew Tommy came from old money. He didn't hide his expensive clothes or shy away from flaunting the fact he could have anything he wanted. We rarely spoke about our family, so I wasn't sure what his dad did for a living. I just knew they were loaded and his mom had passed away a long time ago.His father became stone cold to him after his mother's death. I was sure that was why he was so rambunctious now. He was off on his own without daddy's strict gaze to tell him he was doing everything wrong.I didn't know what it was like to have any type of parents growing up. I was sent to live with my aunt after my parents died. She was an unloving woman who seemed to be afraid of me. I was only ten at the time so I never understood her problem.I was given everything I needed or asked for, but once I turned eighteen, I just left. There was no love at home, no close friends to miss, and I needed to find out who I was on my own. That's how I ended up in New York with barely two pennies to my name."You look stunning dear." Tommy pulled me from my thoughts as he stood over me. I had been sitting with Gio at a fancy restaurant for at least an hour waiting for him to arrive. All Gio would tell me was that he was late. He wasn't much of a talker."You look delicious." I responded, standing to hug him. His lips found mine instantly, taking an aggressive kiss right there in front of all these strangers. I shyly pulled away with a blush. I loved how he overwhelmed me, but I didn't like everyone else seeing it."Don't be modest now babe, we both know you are a wild one." He teased, making me smack his chest."What is wrong with you?" I laughed with an even deeper blush. I can't believe he just said that.Our sex life was definitely more than I ever experienced with anyone else before. He was gentle but dominating, and he had no shame in devouring every part of me. Tommy definitely woke a part of me that I didn't know existed.He was never rough or called me anything but sweet pet names though. My mind sometimes wandered into being a little more submissive or us role playing in some crazy fantasy. I mostly blamed porn for that. It was not realistic, yet made me curious.Gio nodded to a man next to Tommy then left. My eyes drifted back to Tommy then moved slowly to the large presence in the room. Why was this man so scary looking and why was I afraid of him?"This is my cousin, Niko. We have a meeting soon so I hope it's ok if he joins us for dinner." Tommy guided me to sit. I took a hard gulp looking back into that man's eyes. They were so intense I felt a chill run through my body. Did he kill people for fun? He definitely had that serial killer look down perfectly."It's nice to meet you, Niko." Once his name left my lips his eyes looked over me, then his jaw visibly clenched. Was I not supposed to address him by his name?He just nodded to me then called over a waiter to order some drinks. Drinks for him and Tommy, not even bothering to ask if I wanted anything. That wasn't rude at all!"How was your exam today?" Tommy asked, grabbing my hand to get my attention back on him. I'm sure he could sense my disapproval of his cousin."It was easy!""Easy? 60% of kids fail that class because of that exam.""Well, I had an amazing study partner." I gave him a sexy smile. He came over a lot to study, but that was not what actually happened.He chuckled with the same lust filled eyes as mine. "I love studying this body." He replied as his hand went to my thigh and squeezed."Tommy!" I quietly scolded while biting my bottom lip. This man had no decency, especially when it came to me."You promised an explanation last night." I quickly said before he distracted me any further."I thought I explained myself very, very well last night." He winked at me then addressed the waiter to order me a drink and all of our food. He had never ordered my food before. Luckily, he got my favorite on the menu so I didn't argue."You didn't explain anything and since when do you order for me?" I folded my arms disapprovingly. Ok, maybe I was a little mad about it."Are you serious with this woman?" Niko spit out with pure hatred. Somehow his eyes grew even darker. He definitely didn't like me or that I was with Tommy.What was everyone's problem? I shrank under his hard gaze then looked back at Tommy. I can't handle that man. He would strangle me before the night was done if I spoke to him."Are you in trouble?" I asked him."Impossible." He replied with a huge smile."In danger?""Always!" He wiggled his eyebrows at me like it was a joke."I'm serious, Tommy. I know we said no relationship, but this has definitely become more than just fuck buddies. You walked into that club last night like a man on a mission to kill any male that dared touch me. It was just a strip club for a bachelorette party. I wasn't even drinking. Then that man showed up and ordered everything to stop with these big scary men." I pointed to Niko, as he was one of those big scary men."I may have slightly overreacted. That is not how bachelorette parties are back home. Those men that showed up would never hurt you so there is nothing to be scared of. Can we enjoy our meal now? I don't want to speak of this!" His last sentence was all command. There was that tone I didn't know was possible to come from the Tommy I knew."No, we cannot! You gave me no explanation. What did you think bachelorette parties were like anyway? It's the twenty-first century, Tommy. We aren't little servants to men. Women's rights, remember!"Tommy smiled at my little outburst then leaned close to me. "I know about women's rights. I also know you are mine!" His eyes stared at me so possessively it was a little scary. I thought I was his, but I never thought it would mean he tried to own me.I took a hard gulp then diverted my eyes to Niko. His cold blue eyes bore into my skull like he wanted it to just combust. What the fuck was his problem?I felt Tommy's finger graze over my skin. "Baby, I apologized many times last night. Can we drop this now? I want to know how my baby's day was, not speak about my family. You are not in danger, you would never be in danger by my side. I promise, ok?" His voice was soft as he spoke to me. His fingers slowly causing my skin to light up in pleasure. This was the Tommy I loved and wanted."Can you just tell me that everything is ok at home? I don't want to cause any problems or make drama for you. Was that man your father? Does he not approve of you being with me? Should we stop seeing each other?""No!""No what? No, he doesn't approve? No, he isn't your father?""Stop!" He ordered, making me jump."I don't like this, Tommy." I stood up suddenly."Where are you going?" He demanded."The bathroom you asshole. Do I need permission now?" My eyes were on fire at the way he was treating me. I didn't miss the little smirk on Niko's face either."No, I'm sorry." He sat back down taking a big chug of his drink. I rolled my eyes and walked away from the table.So far, I was not liking Tommy's family and I'm sure they didn't like me.Vivian’s POVI walked to the bathroom in a mess of emotions. I felt like I could just break down and cry which made no sense. I never cried! "What is happening?" I stared at my hazel eyes in the mirror. They were gorgeous and easily my best feature. My hair was light brown with natural streaks of red, which complimented my light brown eyes with hints of orange and green in them. Everyone thought I wore contacts. They were mostly my father's eyes with hazel and green but the hint of red/orange was from my mother. She had dark brown eyes that seemed to hide a small fire behind them. That was the most I could remember about them. Their soft loving voices and their eyes that looked at me like I was their everything. I missed having that feeling."You are very pretty." A large man with a thick Italian accent spoke behind me, bringing me back to a very scary reality. Before I could scream his hand was over my mouth. Why was he here in the lady's room?"I wouldn't try to fight me. I would e
Vivian’s POVI didn't know the exact time but I knew it had been almost 24 hours. Not one person came to see me. I didn't move much and my stomach was in too many knots to care about the hunger there. All I could do was pray tonight I didn't get tossed around between these men. The silence was driving me crazy. I could hear a pin drop down here. I didn't want any of those men to come back down, but I also didn't want to stay here forever.Then it started. First a few gunshots, then the screaming. I don't know how long it went on for until the basement door burst open. I could still hear fighting upstairs, but my eyes were glued on Tommy. He was covered in blood, cursing at the sight of me. He was speaking to me but nothing was registering. Why was he here? Did he come looking for me? How did he find me?"Baby, are you ok?" He asked, cupping my cheek. I nodded my head with tears streaming down my face. I couldn't find the ability to speak a word. Tommy's phone began ringing and he an
Niko’s POV"Get her the fuck up!" I ordered with nothing but pure rage for this woman. She laid in a ball covered in blood and a ripped red dress. A fucking coward hiding in the closet while my family was being murdered to save her.My mind flashed with Tommy's words. "I know I fucked up. Promise me you will protect her. I need to know she will be ok. Vow to me brother!" He grabbed my shirt as blood shot out of his mouth in a violent cough. My fucking little cousin, raised like a brother to me, was dying in my arms and all he cared about was that whore that ruined our family."Tommy don't worry about the girl. She is what brought us this fight. Save your breath and hold on for me." My forehead reached his and I held back my tears. I wasn't a man that cried, but watching the only person I cared about in this world die was gutting my insides."It wasn't her fault. Even it was, she was worth it. Vow to me, Niko!" He ordered again. This little shit was going to make me protect her."I vow
Vivian POV I was terrified when Niko found me, then I was relieved to be saved, then I was a whole new kind of terrified when he told me I would be punished for their deaths. Whose death and why did he think I caused it? I didn't know any of these men or what they did. I remained locked in a bedroom for three days while a man stood inside my room watching me intently. He didn't speak to me, but his eyes never left my body. I saw a glimpse of Gio standing outside my door whenever a maid brought me food, but like the guard in my room, he didn't acknowledge my existence. After three sun sets and three sun risings I finally decided to shower. I spent most of my time laying helpless in bed while covered in blood and filth. I didn't know why it never registered to me to shower before, but it just didn't. I assumed I was still in shock, and now I was just in utter fear. I walked into the bathroom, closing the door and took a long breath. I knew my guard was directly outside. I was thankfu
Niko POVThe second she whispered, "Tommy is dead" I realized she didn't know. I wanted to smirk at the guilt washing over her. She deserved to feel pain the rest of her life. He was dead and it was her fault.Then she lost it. Her hand smacked clean across my face, rendering me utterly frozen. A woman never so much as raised their voice to me let alone dare strike me. She was screaming what a bastard I was then proceeded to punch my chest. I looked down at this little thing trying with all her might to hurt me. It was laughable how her hardest punch felt like a tickle to my skin. That was enough though. She disrespected me in front of the whole family. She looked like a lunatic, thrashing about and calling me names. I grabbed her wrist and dragged her to her room. I would put her in her place. I can't hit her though. Maybe I could. No, I won't hit a woman no matter how much I hate her.I felt her body drop and noticed she twisted her ankle. I rolled my eyes then threw her over my sh
Vivian POVDid that fucker just say they can speak to me? Is that why no one would answer me? Acted like I didn't exist?"Mario!" I shouted with rage."Yes Mistress?" He responded immediately. What the fuck was this shit? "Did Niko order you not to speak to me.""Yes. He just said we can now.""You asshole." I punched his shoulder. I shook my hand knowing it hurt me more than him. "Mistress, you should calm down. Please try. Niko isn't a patience man and he never allowed anyone to speak to him the way you just did. If someone dared to raise a hand at him, they would no longer have one." Marie pleaded with me.I looked down to my hands then rubbed my wrist at the thought of Niko holding my arm down and chopping it off. I shuddered as I envisioned blood spraying everywhere. His eyes were cold like a harsh blizzard while my blood coated his devious smile. Fuck, stop thinking about that."I'm tired. Are there pajamas I can borrow?" "Of course, dear. The dresser and closet is filled for
Niko POVThe second Vivian walked down the stairs in that cute little sundress for church I felt my need for her body. She looked so innocent and it was sexy as hell. I knew her pussy had to be fucking tight to mess my cousins up so much. That damn fool gave his life for her, and he didn't even know her.I approached her ready to tear her apart, but then she gave me this sweet smile. Marie had told me they had a talk last night and Vivian understood how to behave properly. My dick twitched at the idea of her listening like a good girl for me. My lips leaned to her ear when it hit me. I was trying to tease her. What the fuck is wrong with me? If I wanted to fuck her, then I'll just fuck her. I didn't need to be nice to her first.My response came out, "You look... nice" like a total idiot. She didn't seem to notice her little body with large breast and round ass had my tongue tied, and luckily no one was close to us. She looked me dead in the eyes then her fucking mouth opened. I don'
Vivian POVI was completely lost all day greeting Tommy's family. The surge of emotions that ran through my body as his casket lowered to the ground was indescribable. I stood there with no one by my side. I was alone in this world, again. You left me here all alone, Tommy. You left me with your beast of a cousin that wants me dead and a hundred family members that look at me like I'm their enemy. Why did you do this to me? Did you ever even love me? I wiped the few tears that escaped my eyes and walked with the crowd back to the car. Mario held the door open and I climbed in next to Niko. He was quiet the second we arrived. I could see the anger in his tense body and knew it was best to call a cease fire until this day was done. Niko didn't speak about his feelings, or really anything at all, but I knew they were close to each other. I wandered around the back gardens admiring all the different flowers. I used to garden at my aunt's house when I lived there. She didn't really speak
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
