...Lucas POV...

The day has finally arrived.

Today the babies are born.

Lexi is completely petrified, pacing the room as she is trying to get into her hospital gown. She has been going to see this doctor, but to me, it does not seem that there is any approvement. Now, I have asked her and the doctor what is going on, but neither of them wants to tell me. And as for Tina, Lexi has not told her either.

Now she is here working herself up, and believe me; I ain't the one telling a pregnant woman that is about to give birth to calm down. Well, not that she would listen because what I say really does not count, for she does keep on reminding me that we have separated. She does not want to understand my perspective, and I don't know what is wrong with her. At this rate, it is not helping us both.

So once she has put on that godawful hospital gown, the nurses come to push her bed through to the operating theatre. Not once does she hold my hand as we move t

  • Dancing With Danger: A Mafia Romance   One Second

    Last night was long and agonizing; somehow, I thought that I would be the one leaving Lucas Lucero with a sleepless night, but yet I proved myself wrong and was in for tortured dreams where he laid only but naked, completely out of my reach.But we will be changing that tonight.Tonight I will be going solo for Savanah has some gig downtown and will only make it way past midnight.So after giving myself a once over in the tall mirror hanging on the far sidewall, I adjust the tiny crop top, and with a few wiggles in the hot pants, I am ready to slip on a pair of deep red stilettos. It is the perfect contrast to finish my seductive image off, and I have on good authority that Lucas has a weakness for a woman wearing red.After straightening my hair for what is the fifth time now, I make my way out of the apartment and will have to settle for my beast to get me where I want to go tonight.I feel the roar of the engine vibrate between my legs as it sen

  • Dancing With Danger: A Mafia Romance   Tormented Kisses

    The adrenaline sings in my ears as Lucas laces his fingers and leads me to where he was sitting earlier. With only but one wave of the hand, every single soul disappears, leaving us completely alone.The burning desire has consumed me as I cannot begin to imagine what it is that he wants. I have perhaps underestimated this man’s power that he has over a woman. Yet, I have vowed to myself that he will not get me under that spell, he will not conquer, it is my mountain to climb, and I will not falter.So as he pierces right into my soul with those hazel eyes, his words come out as a whisper which I can barely hear underneath the thunder of music coming pumping through the speakers. With a gentle touch of his hand on my knee that nearly cause me to freeze in time, he speaks, “Please just let me for one second?”I cock my head and try to smile without complete frustration, “What is it that you want?”“Baby doll, there is so

    As I stretch every toned muscle in my perfect physique, I feel it burning in my core. Today is going to be a disaster, so I only but pull the blankets over my head and turn onto my side to go back to sleep. But that idea is very short-lived as Savanah comes bursting through the door.And yes, as I snap at her, she knows that today is going to be one of those, so she only but looks at me and shoves the paper underneath my nose, “Come, we have to get this. Come, Lexi, get up.”I throw my hands in the air and try to politely wave her off to leave my room, yet she does not listen, “Come on, Lexi, we are not going to get another chance like this.”I grunt at her as I grab the paper from her hand; she has circled an advertisement in thick red pen under classifieds. “Dancers Wanted.”Well, it does not say what type, but it is at the most popular Club in New York City. As we always say, you got to start from the bottom and work

  • Dancing With Danger: A Mafia Romance   Enjoyable Frustration

    I am standing in Lucas Lucero’s office, snapping at every comforting word that he is trying to say to me. The irritation and angst are consuming every rational bone in my body. There is only but pure blackness in an already near to boiling head. I feel like I am hovering helplessly over my body, watching each ticking second how I slowly unravel into pieces.There is a fear in Lucas’s eyes; I am unaware if he is afraid of what I have become or what I might be capable of doing. Yet, apart from that hint of fear, there is that clear confusion that he has no idea what has taken me over.This is not how I pictured bringing Lucas Lucero to his knees. Right now, the man that wanted me last night wants nothing more than to be away from me as far as possible. Or is this what I perceive in my head for fuck knows right now, the only thing my head can compose is the one curse word after the other.I feel so helpless.And god, I am angry.I am helpl

    I watch as a very hopeful Lucas stares at me with eyes that I can almost say they are begging. Yet, there is that biggest part of me that fuels that little voice in my head, “Don’t say yes! Don’t say yes!”And for at least once today, I listen to the voice of reason even though the feeling of his lips is still very present upon mine. So I only but give him a shy smile, “I will think about it.”With a raise of his brow and a tiny wink, he speaks underneath his breath with that husky voice, “Please don’t leave a man hanging, baby doll.” And as he spins around on the heels of those designer shoes, I get nothing but an eye full of his tight ass. Much to Savanah’s surprise, I most embarrassingly growl from the depths of my chest.I only but wave her off before she even has a second to raise her voice, “That fucking ass is goddamn tight Sav.

He caught me off guard, needless to say on my own ground, but I have wallowed in my own pity for a day, and I am now ready to strike back.Savanah is still finding it absolutely to her enjoyment that the player played the player and that yes, I will admit, the man does know what to do with certain…Let us just stop that thought before I work myself up.I need to work on getting myself dressed as we are heading out to the club tonight. So after spending endless hours trying to figure out what I am going to wear to send Lucas’s heart racing, I settle on a pair of black hot pants that glitters in the glare of the light.

With one twirl, Savanah gives me the all-important nod.But she has a few words, “I am starting to think that you are doing this for our Mr. Luc

He has the power to drive me crazy and make me feel a way that I have never felt before. I love the smell of his skin, the warmth of his hands, and the sensuality of his kiss. The energy that flows through his touch collides with every particle of my body.But I need to remind myself where I have come from.Maybe not tonight…maybe tonight I can break my own rules and just let go of that bit that I shouldn’t?Yes, I keep saying that I have him right where I want him to be, but does he have me?The fact is that whatever happens tonight, Lucas will still be coming down.So as he looks at me with those hazel eye

    …Lexi POV…We have been planning for this for almost a day; I have been waiting for it just a slight bit longer. This is the day that dreams are made of. It should be the happiest day of my life.I have dressed for the part, a classic white princess dress with a modern twist, a beaded lace bodice with a thin beaded belt, a dreamy and voluminous tulle skirt that gorgeously flares out underneath. My porcelain skin is composed to perfection, and my hair is tucked neatly into place. And to finish off, a pair of stilettos that hug my feet and glimmers as it shines.This is my wedding day.…Lucas POV…This is it; I stare at myself in the full-length mirror.

    …Lucas POV…I am standing in utmost patience, waiting for her to give me the answer that I want to hear. But that little shy smile says it all; she is going to tease me and drag it until I am nearly about to burst out in anticipation. I know she will say yes, but I want so desperately for her to say it. I guess she wants to hear me beg for it."Lexi, what do you say?""Mmm, I need some time to think.""If you take any longer, then your head is going to explode.""You know what else is going to explode?" she asks me as she nips on her bottom lip.From outside the door, I hear Savanah's voice loud and clear, "Lexi, can you say yes already. I am not getting any younger."I watch as she reaches her hand to me, and I know for certain, "Yes, Lucas, yes."The moment those words escape her lips, Savanah opens the door for us. With a very satisfied look on her face, she pulls us both in for a hug.For one moment the

    ...Lexi POV...I look at Lucas with squinted eyes, trying to show him how displeased I am to be stuck in this damn broom closet with him. As he looks back at me, it is hard to figure out if he is finding this somewhat amusing or if he is just as annoyed as I am. Just as he is about to get that cocky smile, I snap at him."Is this just not fantastic!""Oh, believe me, I cannot think of spending my day in a better way.""What does that mean?""I don't want to be stuck in a closet with you.""What is wrong with me?"He dares to look me up and down; he studies my body too long to be comfortable with. We have been intimately close so many times; why does this feel somewhat different. It is as if he is judging by the mere look in his eye, which seems to be very hard to read; I have no idea what he is thinking."Well, where do I even start?" he says with eyes so cold. His words knock my heart back hard; how can he be so cr

    …Lucas POV… I am not sure how to take Lexi, she just made love to me. She is furious with me, I do not understand why, why would she make love to me? There is a different kind of look in her eyes. She has been mad at me before and not wanted to come near me at all. Yet, now, she craved to be around me more than anything else. I do not understand if she is still upset, or are we just leaving this unsaid. Well, I have yet spoken but too soon. What does she mean by what is going to happen? The only thing we need now is to work through this and move forward from here. But I do not believe that this will be that easy. So it is with a deep sorrow that she reflects those blue eyes back into mine. The pain is clear, the pain is there, I am foolish to think any other way. And so I need to prepare myself for the worst.

She is quite shaken up so I shall not mention anything about anything to her at the moment. And while I sit her down, I turn to make my leave."Please stay," she asks with words that are strained.

    I have not seen Lucas for two days; I am hoping it is because he is busy at the club and not that he is avoiding me. I do not know how I ever thought we could have sex and go back to being friends. I hate being rejected this way, and for some reason, especially by him.Was I just another knot in his string?I am starting to doubt if he wanted me the way I thought he did. In fact, I do not know which way he truly wanted me to start with. I am starting to doubt that we were really such good friends as he said that we are. I honestly think he will not want me again now that he has gotten what he has desired for so long.But it is my own fucking fault!So why am I here sitting and feeling sorry for myself?I guess it is just hard to move back to where we were before the mind-blowing sex.
