" You wish it was you screaming my name, don't you? " He asked while locking me in place with his gaze. “ I don’t know what you're talking about.” I defended. I clutched the wall behind me as he moved closer with his hand on the door above my head. Our bodies were inches apart and it was getting harder to concentrate because of his bare chest that was muscular and covered with ink. " Tell me principessa, do you think of me when you trail your fingers down your stomach and between your thighs? Do you think of me as you work yourself trying to reach the brick of euphoria? Do you imagine it's my fingers as you work faster to ease the ache between your thighs? Do you scream my name as your walls clench around your digits and your eyes roll to the back of your head when you ? " " you! " I screamed, ignoring the loud thumping of my heart against my chest. " You see, I know girls like you. You've been sheltered all your life and you crave some rebellion. Tattoos, muscular, bad boy, and an Italian accent are your undoing, right? That's all it takes to have you drooling and fawning. I'm I right, principessa? " “ You know nothing about me! " I screamed and he chuckled. “ Oh, but I do. I can smell your arousal begging me to pin you to this wall and show just how much I can make your weep for me. " He whispered in my ear. She's fire and he's ice. Sicily holds many secrets but is Brianna ready for the ones Nikolai has to offer? A life of crime, gunfire, and passion is not what she signed up for. Can she handle the enigma that is Nikolai?
View MoreMy eyes felt heavy but my ears were alert. I heard the beeping of machines and the voice of a woman speaking. Was I finally in heaven? I knew if that shit was real, I was going to hell for all the horrible things I had done.“Is he going to be, okay? “ I heard an angelic voice ask. It sounded awfully familiar like I should have known who it belonged to but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Why did it sound so sweet and inviting?“He will be. He should wake up any day now. “ A male voice replied.For some reason, I wanted to hit the male and tell him to stay away from my angel even though I couldn’t see how close they were.“You said that last week, “ the angel said with a sigh. There was sadness in her voice and it broke my heart. I had to open my eyes to look at her.When my eyes finally cooperated, there were white walls everywhere and two people in a corner. One of them was wearing a blue dress and her copper hair was in a messy bun.That was the moment we made eye contact and sh
“We will attack from this point right here and then Luca and the other men will go from the back. Make sure all your coms are working when we get there. If you encounter something, you tell us. “ I instructed.Esposito and Romano were standing on either side of me looking at the map I had. Thanks to a tip, we had a possible location for where they were keeping Nikolai and I was determined to find him.“So-““Why is nobody looking for Lorenzo? “ Viv asked from the door. I turned to face her with a hard glare on my face as I crossed my arms against my chest.“You’re not allowed in here, Viv. Why are you here?” I asked even though I had heard her previous statement.She scoffed and came deeper into the room, making me fold the map and hand it to Luca. With a nod of my head, he understood what I was saying and he left.“I asked where Lorenzo is. Last I heard from him, you sent him on a mission and he never came back. That was three days ago. Why aren’t you looking for him?” Viv asked.I d
Anabelle lowered the gun and placed it in the back of her jeans without taking her eyes off me. She proceeded to take my gun from the ground and unloaded it. She placed the bullets in her pocket and then tossed me the gun without any bullets.“Tell me what you meant when you said all my men are dead, “ I said, not wanting to beat around the bush.It was then that I realized how insensitive I was being. She had been through a lot and I hadn’t even heard what had happened to her yet I was prioritizing my needs over hers. I shook my head and gave her a soft look.“What happened Anabelle? One day I left you with Lorenzo, Viv, and Florian, and the next, I came back to find my mansion in ashes. What happened to your arm and where have you been?” I asked.She sighed and sat down on a rock. I followed her lead and sat beside her.“We were all in the mansion. Florian and I were in the basement interrogating someone when we heard the commotion upstairs. We stayed back and watched through the li
As I was pacing wondering why the men we had sent to attack Bianchi’s estate had not arrived, my phone rang. I frowned as I looked at the screen because it was an unknown number. Who could it be?Thinking it could be new information regarding Nikolai, I was eager to answer it. I stepped away from Romano. Esposito had gone for a smoke so he wasn’t anywhere near where we were.“Hello, “ I spoke as soon as I placed the phone against my ear.“It’s Anabelle. I need you to make sure you are nowhere near the people around you. Walk away from everyone now. “ The voice on the other end said.I recognized that it was indeed Anabelle from her voice. I could recognize it anywhere. I put my hand on my mouth and did as she had instructed. I knew I shouldn’t have trusted anyone but my instincts told me I could trust her.“Where have you been? “ I asked, wondering why she had been missing all that time.“Look, I can’t talk for long. It was a trap. Bianchi is not an enemy. You can’t trust anyone. You’
“ You know something, don’t you? This can end right now or we can go all night. “ Lorenzo said and removed his coat for emphasis.He proceeded to fold the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows. I didn’t understand why he insisted on wearing a suit when he was only going to torture people. It was a waste of the perfectly tailored expensive Armani.We were in the basement of the new house and there was a man tied to a chair. It was only the three of us in the room. The man was believed to have known what happened to the estate. He was one of the guards who had survived.We had yet to find the rest and it begged the question of why they were hiding in the first place. I had made it my responsibility to know everyone who had died during the attack. Those who were survivors and hadn’t come forward were suspects.Before the man could speak, my phone rang and I headed out to pick it up. It was one of the suppliers and I prayed it was good news or else he would pay. My patience was thinner than
My head was buzzing and my ears were ringing. There was an undeniable pain in my right leg and stomach. I was beginning to think I was in purgatory for all the bad things that I had done. I tried unsuccessfully to pry my eyes open.Every time I did that, my head hurt like small pins were being dropped on my head. I let out a groan when I was finally able to open my eyes. I was surprised when I saw darkness everywhere.If it wasn’t for the fact that I was sure that I had opened my eyes, I would have been doubtful of the fact that they were open. I tried to walk and that was when I registered that my movement was restricted.There were shackles on both my arms, pulling them apart like I was on a cross. My feet, on the other hand, were shackled to the wall behind me but they were closer together than my arms.Where the fuck was I?I tried to remember the events of the past few days but my memory was foggy and my thoughts were all over the place. I wanted to get out of that place that had
I heard them arguing before I even got to the bottom of the stairs. They were not very discreet with their plans at all. Before I left, I heard Viv calling out to me to stop.“ Please, just listen, “ she begged and I stopped.Who could I be if I didn’t listen to her?“ What is it, Vivienne? “ I asked while turning. I crossed my arms against my chest.She reached me and placed her hands on my arms.“ Look, we were going to start today but we couldn’t until we had enough men. I am sorry we lied to you but it had to be done. “ She said, not looking the least bit remorseful.“ First, get your hands off me. Do I look like an unreasonable woman to you? “ I asked.She looked at me like she wanted to be anywhere else. Well, I wasn’t the one who told her to follow me, was I?“ No, “ she answered.“ That’s right, Vivienne. I am not unreasonable. You say you were setting up but you took two weeks. Do you think Nik can wait that long? No! Do you what he is going through? No! “She looked anywhere
Romano walked me back to his car and I sat on the seat with a lot of things on my mind.“ Where am I going to start? “ I asked him.He rubbed my back soothingly which was something so out of character with him and gave me a hopeful look.“ As long as you have me, you will always know where to start, “ he said.He drove me back to my penthouse and I expected him to go back to Milan but he followed me back.“ Don’t you have a business to take care of, old man? “ I asked.He glared at me because he didn’t like being called old and I only smiled mischievously in answer. I loved teasing him a lot.“ I am not old and I am not leaving you here without backup or a plan, okay? “ He asked. I nodded my head and placed my hand in his.When the elevator doors opened ad I punched in the code, I saw men in my living room. There were guards everywhere and Esposito was sitting comfortably on my couch looking like the place belonged to him.Not to mention he had a whiskey in his hand. These men and my
“ Why are you suddenly so quiet? “ Romano asked.He took a gulp of his whiskey and went to pour himself another one. He looked back at me and then smiled. It was a sarcastic smile because what he was telling me was too serious to smile about.I didn’t have the answer to his questions. Before I could react, he threw the wine glass to my head and I ducked. It was seconds away from hitting me square in the face. It shattered on the floor, causing a mess.I brought my eyes to him with shock written all over my face. How could he do that? It would have sent me back to the hospital.“ I expect an answer, Brianna, “ he said before grabbing another glass and pouring himself a drink.I stayed quiet because all that was happening was shocking enough to leave me speechless.“ Are you going to finish that?” He asked while pointing to my whiskey glass because I had taken a very tiny sip.“ I’m pregnant, Romano, “I explained even though I didn’t want to put it out there. That was not the way I had
(Excerpt) An hour later, they were done and I was ready to leave. Nikolai guided them out of his office and closed the door behind him. I heard a familiar click and I knew he had locked it but I wasn’t sure. Was he going to kill me? I chose to play dumb and walk to the door to try and open it. After jiggling the handle a few times, it wouldn’t open. I turned around and he was right behind me. He put his hand above my head and leaned in. " You wish it was you screaming my name, don't you? " He asked while locking me in place with his gaze. My cheeks flared as his question was spot on. It was a rhetorical question but I felt the need to defend myself. He had seen me after all. “ I don’t know what you're talking about,” I said. I clutched the door behind me as he moved closer. Our bodies were inches apart and it was getting harder to concentrate because of his bare chest which was muscular and covered with ink. " Tell me principessa, do you think of me when you trail your fingers
