DON JULIO

The sun hadn’t even risen yet when I woke up, tangled in Don Julio’s arms.

His hand rested on my midriff, his fingers coiled slightly as if even in sleep, he refused to let me go. For the first time ever, I experienced what it felt to be loved, to be someone's everything. To have someone that didn't want to let go of you no matter what. I didn't want to think that I was falling for a mafia lord, I wanted to enjoy the moment….. while it still lasted.

For a few precious seconds, I didn’t move.

I just listened to the steady beat of his heart against my back and breathed in his dangerous, manly scent.

Warmth. Safety.

I had Something else I had almost forgotten how to feel.

And then he shifted.

His lips brushed along my bare shoulder, lazy and soft. I shut my eyes momentarily, savoring every bit of it, wanting it to continue. Till infinity. His lips found mine gently, slowly and I wanted it to continue.

There was no rush, no despair, just something deeper and hot, deep kisse

    DON JULIO The night was loud.Music blasted from the speakers, drowning out the sound of my thoughts, the heavy bass rattling the glass walls of the room.Matteo and the rest had left and I was sure they were doing justice to what I had told them because the mere thought of been attacked again made me boil with anger.I leaned back on the velvet settee, cigar smoke entwining around me, a half-empty glass of whiskey hanging loosely between my fingers but I wasn't concentrating on them.The strippers moved around the room, laughing too loudly, brushing their hands against my shoulders, my chest and dancing to impress me and one or two of them had whispered something into my ears, she was horny and ready for sex but I never used sex as therapy.I hardly noticed them.On the face, I looked relaxed, untouched as if a war wasn't brewing inside of me.I took a long pull from my cigar, the burn harsh down my throat.I glanced down at my watch and exhaled, the surgery wssd supposed to be over

    DON JULIO The ride back to my residence felt endless, my hand gripping the steering wheel so hard.I glanced at my wrist watch and it was twelve midnight. I could still picture the shock on the doctor's face when I asked him if he knew what the chip was. I was testing him, hoping he might say something but of course he didn't. I didn't waste another second there and left the hospital immediately.I knew there was something linking us to The Blood Vultures and the others but I didn't really know what it was. And the chip.It could be it.As soon as I swung into the long driveway, I killed the engines and stepped out, pocketing the small chip like it was something precious. Of course it was.Inside, the residence was quiet and the only thing I heard was the chirping of crickets.The strippers from earlier were gone, the air smelled of cheap incense and whiskey.I threw the keys to one of my men, exhaled a little and rolled up my sleeves as I took the stairs two.st a time to my room.

I was in a hurry to leave but I had to dance to get just enough money. The club smelt of cigarette smoke, sex and desires. I strut across the stage with my heels clicking against the sticky floor, every movement deliberate and in time with the rhythm, I know too well, that my face is partially covered with a smal

    SARIAN For a moment my heart thuds against my ribs as I stood motionless. I was crushed by the weight of his words even though he had walked away like he never was there. Tell him that Don Julio was here.The words kept making my heart beat and I started sweating profusely.Don Julio Rossini, The Jaguar like he was called. My father had stolen from him and now I was in trouble and in danger.My chest tightened making it impossible for me to breathe and I felt tears rolling down my eyes.He had been the one watching me. For how long? Did he know where Father was? I must leave this place now.With my head spinning, I turned and went for the back door. For months I have been employed at this club, always keeping my head down and avoiding trouble. And now that man—the mafia boss—just drew me into his world and now I wasn't sure if I might live to the next day. I got home after a thirty-minute ride. I heard footsteps behind me as my hand was on the door handle. I froze and turned sl

    SARIAN I should have known this, when I felt uneasy I should have known that this would happen but I trust easily.As soon as Marc moved aside and took his blood money, I realized that I was fucked. Not in the way I would have liked either.“Marc?’ I asked disbelief laced my voice as my eyes widened in surprise.He shrugged and pocketed the large envelope.“Business, Sarian. It's just business.” He said casually like we were talking about when we were little. “ Do take care.”And then he was gone. I felt like passing out. This was supposed to be the hotel where I and Marie would stay before we had to leave for the train station but something was off when we walked in and the receptionist looked grumpy. This wasn't a hotel, Marc had given me up to the enemy. Don Julio Rossini and I were alone when the heavy doors slammed behind Marc and I wanted to run after him and demand some explanation. The betrayal was hot and sharp and I wondered if Marie was safe too.I stared at Don Julio, th

    DON JULIO My head was pounding as I tried to push the thought out of my mind.I sighed and tried to think of something else but her face kept popping into my memory no matter how hard I tried to push it out of my mind.The whiskey in my glass swirled in the amber light as I sat in my dark office. I took a slow sip of the ice which clinked softly but it didn't stop the thoughts from gnawing at my brain. Sarian. That girl.I tried to stop thinking about her but it was impossible. I sent my men to take her away because she reminded me of her, not because she had fought so hard when they did or because she had quickly agreed to my terms.Sophia. My chest ached dullly at the name alone. I lost her when I was just thirteen years old. She was my world even though she wasn't my biological sister. She was the only person who had created warmth in the shadowy areas of my life. I felt human because of her, the only person I could go to when my father thrashed me and yelled at me because I

    DON JULIO The smell of blood was thick in the air briskly, metallic, suffocating. The last echo of gunfire had faded, but the chaos still fire my thoughts. It was freaking unexpected. I had had enough already and I swore to myself as I watched Valentina go down that when I find whoever is doing this, I would erase the names of his whole family from the earth. “ Valentina’s down! ” someone cried. My heart sank. I turned around immediately. Valentina was lying lifeless on the ground and Sarian was beside her, shaking her and begging her to wake up. Her dress and hands covered in Valentina's blood. Shit. This wasn't supposed to happen. My instincts had told me to tell Valentina to stay back at the hotel. Everything inside me snapped. My men redressed with fury. Shots erupted again, lighting up the night. Tires screamed. The masked men tried to escape, but they weren’t fast enough. We shot almost everyone of them down, no mercy. One tried to run into the alley — I refocused on hi

  • Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation    Her Name Was Valentina

    SARIAN I could feel the pressure in the air the moment Valentina walked into the hotel room. I had woken up to find myself all alone and breakfast set and then a janitor in the hallway. I came out and there he was still moping out non existent dirt and I immediately knew who he was.Don Julio was back with her and Matteo and he had introduced us before, but I couldn't help but wonder what kind of woman she was. She was different — older than me and very friendly, but there was something about her that made me think she’d seen a lot, perhaps too much and had really suffered too. It wasn’t just her calmness, there was this confidence in her that made you believe she could handle anything. Over dinner, the atmosphere was reserved Don Julio was calm one minute and then, his usual sharp, calculating presence absent the next . It was as if he'd something on his mind that he wasn’t really focused on. Valentina, still sounded comfortable in her own skin, laughing loudly at times, m

    DON JULIO Matteo arrived the next morning, in his usual stoic tone. He didn’t need to tell me of his presence. I saw him on the security footage before the door even opened. Always effective. Always quiet. He was one of the few in my gang that I could manage to trust if the word trust existed to me in the first place.He hadn't come with us because of personal reasons and things I had to do.Matteo was a professional; he never let his guard down, and he understood the assignment very well that when he came, he didn't let anyone follow him into the suite.I glanced over to where Sarian lay, a soft breath escaping her lips as she slept. My heart tensed with a strange emotion I didn’t want to show, let her enjoy a moment of peace for once. She was still recovering from everything, her body weak, her mind disoriented. But her spirit that was a different matter. And it was something I couldn’t help but respect. She was resilient and I loved women like that.I stood up immediately, makin

    DON JULIO The wind in Sicily was warm, filled with the scent of citrus blooms.We had just arrived minutes ago and as I turned to look at Sarian, her eyes looked empty and she felt like she was lost in the crowd , like she had no place in the world. Maybe she was scared that we might get attacked again.The pilot gave me a nod as we stepped off the jet. “ safe-deposit box wharf. ”I returned it with a small cock of my head. “Grazie. ”But Sarian’s emotions were as unsteady as the weather's. Her eyes danced as they landed on me. I knew the look before she said a word. She folded her arms, her lips curving into a small smile. “ You don’t look like yourself today.”I raised a brow but said nothing.She glanced over my plain black shirt, sleeves rolled to my forearms, my tats flashing in the early morning sun and simple trousers. No tie. No cufflinks. No intimidating suits draped over my shoulders. They looked simple but if only she knew how much they cost.“ You look like someone who
