Enchanting the Mafia Don Forty-Five
I paced back and forth in my living room, glancing at the clock on the wall. It was already eight in the evening, and Luciano still hadn't returned home. Impatience gnawed at me, and I couldn't help but feel a mixture of anticipation and frustration. I wanted to see him, to be near him, and that thought both excited and terrified me.My feet stopped abruptly, and I glared a the ceiling above me. What was I doing yearning for a man I most likely would have to kill before he killed me first? What sort of twisted shit was that?I reminded myself, once again, of my purpose. I was here as a spy, gathering information to bring Luciano to justice. My mission was clear, and my allegiance lay with the law. Okay, maybe I didn't give a fuck about the law, but my allegiance lay with me, with Frederick, who I owed so much. With the innocent lives taken over the years, no thanks to Luciano and his gang of misfits. 4But as the minutes ticked by, I couldn't deny the unsettling truth in the depths

As the weight of Frederick's words still hung heavy in the air, I was startled by the sudden intrusion of Giorgia into the room. She had a glare on her face, and if you asked me, I'd say that was a permanent look for her. I had seen her three times that day, and all I had seen her do was glare at me. "Who were you speaking to?" I arched a brow. Just how long had she been behind the door? No, she must have opened it while I was on the call. Luciano's home was soundproof. People outside couldn't hear a thing that was said."Who's Frederick, you bitch?!" Giorgia demanded. "You think I would fall for a man like Luciano? You know nothing of what I feel. All I feel for him is hate and anger, nothing more. Who were you saying all that to?!" Oh shit! She had been there for that long. I held my tongue, giving her a leveled gaze. If anything, it was her word against mine.Or could I kill her?I looked around me. There wasn't a window opened. I couldn't say someone came in and assassinated h

AthenaI slowly opened my eyes, greeted by the soft rays of the morning sun filtering through the curtains. As consciousness enveloped me, I became aware of the warm embrace that surrounded me. Luciano's strong arms encircled my body, pulling me closer to him.It felt good. Really good. A gentle smile played upon my lips as I nestled deeper into his embrace, feeling the steady rise and fall of his chest against my back. The warmth that radiated from his body enveloped me, providing a sense of security and comfort that I hadn't experienced in a long time.In that fleeting moment, all worries and doubts seemed to fade away. The world outside ceased to exist as I basked in the morning's tranquility. The weight of my mission, the secrets I held, and the dangers that loomed momentarily lost their grip on my thoughts.The only grip on me was Luciano's wandering hands. He squeezed my waist as if testing out the waters, then moved to cup my breasts through the sheer fabric. A soft sound slip

AthenaI stepped out of the elevator; my lips drew in a pout. Luciano was gone- again. In the past four days, we never went home together. There was always something or someone -like Luca and Giorgia- demanding his attention elsewhere. That sucked big time. And I wouldn't say I liked it. Because they are committing a crime, right? A voice in my head probed. Sure. If that was the explanation we were going with. I was sad he was leaving me alone to commit whatever shitty crimes he wanted to. I was even more sad because I couldn't do shit. Luciano had lured me in with honey and then tied my hands and feet. As I walked out of Moretti Industries, I could see the man he had placed on my tail in my hindsight. I'd say he chose a perfect man for a spy. The man was short, diminutive, and dressed in a plain shirt tucked in black office pants. He looked unnoticeable, like any other employee, and perhaps no one would suspect him. Well, I wasn't anyone. A spy keeps his gaze focused on his targ

Luciano This meeting was going to take a while, I thought as I slipped out of the car, staring up at the hotel we were to use. It was one of the many hotels under the Moretti industries but of course, no one knew that. I had built the hotel under another company's name to avoid giving the police exactly what they wanted. Something to throw me in their filthy prisons for. I wasn't going to deal with any of that shit. Not for now anyways. I was walking down the patio, climbing the stairs when the sky rumbled above me. It looked like it would rain. Fucking lovely. As long as it would stop when we were done with the meeting, I was good. "Boss!" Emilio yelled when I stepped into the reception. He was there with two more men all dressed in suits. I tipped my head in a nod, satisfied. I didn't believe it. Yes, it did get the job done and was needed sometimes but it certainly wasn't the best skill to rely on for a successful organization. When I took over the mafia, everyone was shock

Athena I stared at Luciano with a frown scrawled all over my face. What the hell was he going on about? He stormed towards me, his face popping with anger. Was he going to hit me? Ha! No way in hell! He halted before me, breathing heavily as he glared down at me. What on earth was going on with him? "What the hell were you doing with that son of a bitch?!" He spat in a deep low voice. "You're going to have to be more specific, who you're fucking referring to!" I yelled in return. As far as I was concerned, there was just one SOB and he was standing before me! "Don't play games with me, Cara!" He bellowed. "He has no right to touch you!" Luciano growled, his voice dripping with anger. "You belong to me, and only me." I almost laughed at how delusional he sounded. "Are you drunk? Because you seriously are tripping right now." I stood my ground, as I retorted, "I do not belong to you. I am my own fucking person! And who the hell are you talking about?!" Luciano's eyes narrowed

Athena I glanced outside my window at the night sky, my arms folded as I remained seated on my bed. I had been in that position for a few hours. Ever since Luciano's display of rage and shit. Emotions rolled within me like a damned sandwich and it was hard to fathom what exactly I was feeling? Was I angry? Frustrated? Mad or anxious? Suffice to say I was feeling a bit of everything. How could he? How could he do that? I always knew he was ruthless but seeing him act that way, so close up…My eyes closed at the thought and I shuddered. For a brief moment I tried to imagine his fists on me instead of Marcus, but I really couldn't picture it. Sure I was terrified of Luciano's rage, but not because I feared he could take it out on me one day. I was afraid he would get mega possessive and I definitely hadn't seen it coming. A knock, so soft I almost didn't hear it, resounded my door. I glared at it, willing the man behind it to combust into flames. "Raven?" he called, sounding

I exhaled heavily, feeling the sweat trickling down the sides of my face and dampening the underarms of my sleeveless T-shirt. My muscles ached, protesting from the back-and-forth run around Luciano's house, and I came to an abrupt stop in front of a neatly trimmed hedge. From a distance, I observed a father holding his little daughter's hand, their destination unknown. The ends of the girl's pink ballerina dress twirled around her tiny legs. Suddenly, she paused, tilting her right foot to the side. The father crouched down to address the issue, fixing her loosened shoelace. The scene stirred memories of my own childhood when my father used to drop me off and pick me up from school.He would linger a while longer after I got out of the car, watching as I bounced down to the school gate before driving away. Just as I disappeared into the thin line of the crowd, he would wave, his eyes crinkling at the corners. I wrestled with my emotions, finally tearing my gaze away from the little gi

LucianoThe police man standing guard at the gate didn't even bother to check my face, I took it that the warden had done his job and informed them I was on my way, I drove quietly into the compound, packing in front of the administrative building and walking in slowly."Good Evening Signori Luciano" The officer standing at the table greeted as soon as he saw me, tipping his hat. His English was broken and heavily accented, but I could understand him enough."Good evening," I reached into my coat, fishing out my cigarette and lighting it. "How is it going?"He smiled appreciatively, apparently pleased I took any interest in his day to day activities. "It haz been quiet Signore." He smiled, revealing a row of tobacco stained brown teeth.I nodded, "Good, I am here for inmate 474.""Oh," he opened up the computer in front of him, "Would you be going out with him?" He asked, peeking at me from over the desktop, "Do you need an escort?"The look on his face told me he thought I was going

AthenaWe were on a plane back to Sicily the next morning. No need for disguises, we took of from a private airfield in New Jersey.As soon as we touched down, ten hours later, I saw a black limo by the tarmac. Luciano smiled as he saw it, "Our welcoming party is here."I raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean welcoming party?""Don't get your hopes up," he said, "It's just Giuseppe."The old man was standing by the car, smiling widely as we walked towards him. He first greeted Luciano, pulling him into a giant hug, like he was his father, patting his back, pride in his eyes.He then turned to me, "Welcome back to Sicily, Raven," he said, extending his hand. "How was your flight? Was it good? Are you too tired?""I am good." I said as I shook his hand, feeling a surge of pride at the way he addressed me. It was clear that Luciano had already told him about me, and that I was already considered a member of the mafia."Thank you, Giuseppe," I said. "It's good to be back."Giuseppe smiled,

AthenaI was confused, totally. And for the second time that night, I had no idea how to react, "Luca? What? How?"Luciano hobbled over to the table at a dark corner in the room, pulling out a knuckle ring and putting it on his left hand. "I figured he would need a little bit more time." He said casually, like the man he was trying to beat up wasn't an assassin sent by his worst enemy and had damn near succeeded too.I turned to look at him, understanding dawning on me, why he wasn't panicked at all, why he was so calm. There was only one reasonable explanation. "You knew this was going to happen." I said quietly.He stopped his rummaging, turning to look at me, "Raven-""Did you?"He let out a deep breath, "Yeah, well, kinda. I only sus-""You did!" I said, my voice getting louder. The man had shot from my back, he had to be facing Luciano, and given how close the two buildings were, it was impossible Luciano hadn't seen him walk in and set up his little nest. "That's why you aren't

Athena"Raven!"Somewhere, far away, someone was calling my name."Raven!!!"The room blurred into a burst of moving colors around me, a ringing in my ear as in the distance, I could only barely hear the sounds around the room, the people screaming, glasses shattering, tables and chairs toppling."RAVEN! GET DOWN!"A second loud bang, hitting the table and shattering it jerked me out of my trance, sending splinters of wood flying across my face, narrowly missing it.I threw myself to the ground immediately, taking cover and toppling the table to provide extra cover for me and Luciano.The shooter was obviously targeting us, for some reason I was not entirely sure of, and he had shit from behind me, hitting Luciano.I crawled over him, not caring about the broken glass tearing at my clothes or the floor, wet with wine and soggy pasta. He lay they, clutching his bleeding shoulder and grimacing."Luciano! Are you okay?"He nodded, "Yeah, I am fine," but as soon as I reached out to touch

AthenaThe meeting went without much of a hitch. I sat at one end, quietly watching the proceedings as they argued over everything. It was mind of amusing, seeing these grown, powerful men squabble like children.Curses flew across the table like missiles, mothers were cursed, fathers were cursed, wives were cursed, calling it a mad house would be a massive understatement. Luciano for the most part, looked like he was tired of their shit, as at some point he just leaned back on his chair and let them threaten all they wanted without trying to interfere or even mediate."Everything in Queens and the North of Brooklyn is mine, don't be a fool." Antonio spat, crossing his arms like a child who had just been refused candy and was planning to throw the biggest fit anyone had ever seen."Damn right it is," Francesco countered, slamming his fat, heavily ringed fingers on the table, "All of the best markets for our good stuff all go to you yeah? And what is there for the rest of us yeah? What

LucianoI didn't want to admit it to her, mostly because making her even more nervous than she was already was, wasn't exactly in my best interest, like throwing a gasoline soaked rag into an inferno.But I was a but nervous too.The Italian Mafia, wasn't very used to having a woman in it's ranks, no matter the level. There was this, almost patriarchal approach to treating our women. Usually seen, not heard, taking care of the kids at home while the husband did the dirty business and fucked his pretty mistresses. Nobody thought of it too much, it was just the way things were done.But not with Raven, never with Raven.I almost laughed out loud, thinking about her being a nice, quiet housewife who just kept my clothes clean and my belly full while I went after young girls half her age. It was so ridiculous, it didn't even come close to making sense to me, which of course meant the idea was going nowhere.The only other option was of course to try to convince them that she was worth it,

AthenaI sat up from the bed, still a bit groggy, but quite certain I heard him properly."My new associates?" I asked, surely he wasn't serious right?I followed him into the living room of the suite, dimly lit room, decorated with ornate furniture and dimly lit candles. Luciano sat on a velvet armchair, while I stared at him, unsure if he was serious or not. nervously paces the room.Luciano leaned back, observing me, "Raven, my dear," he started, "I don't see any reason why we don't go check it out today, okay? It's time for you to understand who we are and what we do."I appreciate your interest in making me feel at home," I couldn't help but lace my voice with some sarcasm, it was getting ridiculous, "But getting involved with your Mafia is not something I was comfortable with, I only just agreed with it, cam you let me digest it at the very least before plunging me head deep and showing me off like a trophy."He looked up at me, raising an eyebrow, "Do you think that is what I a

LucianoFunnily enough, I had never thought about that question until I heard it from her mouth. You'd think a mafia boss would be a little bit more suspicious of an undercover FBI agent who was sent to specifically bring him down and who had up till very recently, bad a specific agenda against him and was determined to destroy him by any means necessary.But I didn't. I consider myself a logical man, and logically I should be moving as far away from this wam as I possibly could, if not immediately killing her. But whenever I was around Raven Gonzalez, all logic flew out the window, and I wanted nothing more than to have her around me, to keep her by my side, to keep her happy so she would never leave me, matter how illogical that sounded."Oh, Luciano." She said quietly, tears brimming in her eyes. "You don't mean that, do you?""Every single word of it." I said calmly. It was true, there was no point hiding from it anymore."That's not enough Luciano, and you know it.""Raven, I jus

AthenaYou had to give it to Luciano, he had the entire "shock value" thing down well enough.To say I felt like I had been hit by a bus moving a thousand miles per hour would have been a massive understatement. I had spent all day thinking about escaping the world he offered, the world I had been forced to grow in, the world I had forcibly participated in for all my life, that had nearly killed me multiple times and had scarred me so much it was probably best not to even think about it.I had confided in him, hoping he would help me find a solution to my problem, to have something akin to normalcy in my life, even if it was for a little while.And instead, he had completely blindsided me with the offer to accept it all as my new reality.Like I said, he really knew what got a woman going."What?" I managed to drop, my only intelligible word yet.His lips twitched as he fought to not smile, "You look pretty surprised Raven.""I wonder fucking why Luciano," I spat, frustration rising in
