Enchanting the Mafia Don Hundred and Thirteen
AthenaI sat on the massive, velvet coated couch in the living room staring at the TV but not watching. It was some stupid reality show I had no interest in but was bored enough to attempt watching. My face twisted in the pain I had been enduring from my wounds. The doctor had assured me it was more psychological than physical and that all I needed to do was get in a better state of mind, but I wasn't so sure, or better still I didn't care.My thoughts were interrupted by Luciano stepping unto the room, dressed in grey sweatpants and a black tank top."If it isn't my little ray of sunshine." He smiled, walking up to me."Oh fuck off Luciano," I muttered, trying to hide my blush as he bent to plant a kiss on my cheek. He smelled heavenly, his cologne intoxicating me as I fought to keep myself from throwing my aching arms around him.He chuckled slowly, backing off, "What are your plans today?""A tour of the house would be nice you know?"He shook his head, taking a step back, "Forget i

Luciano The next few days composed primarily of hanging out in the mansion, insulated from the outside world. The cops were watching and waiting for a slip up. With Luca gone, the next big target was me.I had to lay low, maintain a low profile until the entire debacle blew over.And it was fucking driving me crazy.Raven noticed too, my restlessness seemed to bother her even more. I spent a few hours everyday in the indoors gym, beating the shit out of the only sand bag I had there until my muscles ached like hell.And yet it wasn't enough.I had an empire that had barely survived a civil war. I needed to be out there, picking up the pieces, mending the damage, but I was on a self imposed house arrest, hiding from the fucking cops.Like I said, it was fucking driving me crazy.When Giuseppe called my private line, (Which shocked me, since he never did) to tell me he was coming over with Enzo for an important meeting. I was ecstatic, and for the first time in a while I showed it.Fina

LucianoWe walked into the dimly lit, the Italian restaurant buzzes with activity. In typical style, it was full of patrons, speaking on top of their voices ordering food and swearing at the customers and waiters all together. I stood still, inhaling the smell of tomatoes and pasta cooking, smiling as it brought back memories.I looked at Enzo, smirking as he looked around nervous You ready for some fun, kid?He nodded, "Yes boss."I didn't trust him, he was very obviously anxious, looking exactly like I must have some during my first hit. I didn't like it, I had of cousin shot myself on the foot that day, having to spend a few months in the hospital and a stupid scar to remind me of it every time. I looked at him, "Hey, kid, are you alright?"He stared around wide eyed, shaking slightly even as he replied, "Yes boss just a bit nervous that's all-" he readjusted his tie, swallowing heavily."Okay, listen." I said, scraping my stool closer and staring into his eyes, "This is simple, we

AthenaI didn't know when Luciano left that evening. All I remembered was waking up alone in the bed that evening, with a note saying he went out to handle some business with someone called Enzo.It was nothing out of the ordinary of course, he didn't generally serenade me with his plans on running his very suspect business, and I didn't ask. The less I knew about the entire thing the better.I had gone about my evening routine, a small shower, taking my meds and relaxing at the upstairs balcony with a novel in my hand, trying not to fall asleep. I must have failed at that because the next thing I heard, jerking me awake was the sound of incessant pounding on my door.I sat still for a moment, wondering if I had only imagined it. The only people aware of this location were the handful of men Luciano still trusted, and none of them had called me yet. While I slept, it had started raining, the sound of the drops pattering over the roof. I checked my watch, 9:45 pm.Nobody should be here

Luciano"What?"I wasn't sure I heard her right, surely she couldn't be bringing this up. Not now."Frederick," she asked again, still looking at me, defiance in her eyes now, "Where did you keep his body? Where is he now?"I puller away from her, still surprised. This wasn't what I expected, at all. I wanted had her to tell me about her doubts and fears and the things that made her sad, so I could take care of them, tell her she was alright with me and make them all go away. Why couldn't I just have fallen for a normal woman whose biggest headache was the latest episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians or finding the right dress to wear to the club.By the fuck did it have to be Raven Gonzalez?"Raven," I asked slowly, "Why are you bringing this up now?""Can you answer me?""Not until I know what this is about.""Luciano," her voice was stern, as though she was doing nothing but disciplining a stubborn school child, not questioning the most powerful mob boss in all of the fucking e

Luciano"Luciano!" She yelled, her voice drowned out by the beating waves, "Help me!"I didn't know who she was, but she was drowning I needed to save her."Raven!" I called out, surprising myself. She wasn't Raven, but I didn't care, I needed to help her, she was drowning!I reached out to save her, but my hands passed through her ethereal form."Save me!" She murmured, gurgling as the waves lapped around her and I stared at my own fingers in confusion.Terror gripped my heart, my mind consumed by thoughts of losing her. Slowly, she began sink as I reached into the water further, yelling for her even as I started to lose my voice.I gasped for breath, jolting awake, my eyes wide with fear.As the hazy remnants of the nightmare fade away, I find myself in the safety of our bedroom. The moonlight peeked through the curtains, casting an hazy glow upon the room. My heart still racing, I slowly turned towards her - Raven.To my surprise, she is awake, her eyes fixed on me. The worry etched

AthenaWe stood in the warm mist of the shower, our bodies pressed close together. We exchanged some playful glances as the water flower over us, kissing intermittently.I felt like I was in heaven.I grabbed the soap, lathering it in my hands before slowly sliding them over Luciano's muscular shoulders. I traced circles with my fingertips, teasingly exploring his well-defined chest, enjoying the periodic, involuntary shudders he rewarded me with when I hit a particular spot he liked."You know, this isn't just about getting clean." I said seductively when I was done with every exposed inch of his body, "It's about having fun too.Luciano grinned mischievously, his own hands finding their way to my waist, pulling me even closer. He leaned in, his breath tickling in my ear as he took a little nibble from my earlobe"Oh, I'm all about the fun, Raven." He replied smirking, "Show me what you've got."I playfully splashed water at him, as we both laugh the droplets dancing through the air.

LucianoHer reaction surprised me. I had really thought she would jump at the chance. She has asked me for it right? She had asked me about him. Why was she backing away now?"Raven?" I asked again, looking at her as she seemed speechless, "Are you okay?""Uhm, yeah, yeah of course." She stuttered, seemingly snapping out of her reverie, "I am fine.""Can you answer my question?"She placed the back of her palm on her forehead, "You know, I didn't hear you quite clearly, can you repeat the question?"That wasn't true, she definitely did. And her reaction suggested she didn't want to have the conversation, part of me wanted to drop the entire issue, not press her too much on it and just roll over and go to bed forgetting the entire thing, but I didn't. She was hiding something and the other part of me was determined to find out what."Frederick's grave." I repeated slowly, watching her face for any reaction, "I am going to New York for some business, I was wondering if you wanted to see

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
