Enchanting the Mafia Don Eight
AthenaThe sky was barely lit at four in the morning. Wisps of the sunrise were beginning to show, reminding me that I had to get my ass home for work. But I didn't want to. Not yet. I crouched on the roof of a building close to Luciano's home, holding binoculars to my face. My black outfit blended with the night sky and it would be very unlikely to spot me. Gripping my binoculars tighter, I watched the men troop around Luciano's home. He lived in a freaking skyscraper. His building, as it were, occupied the penthouse. It wasn't that surprising. Especially with the mass of money he owned legally, not to mention illegally. The men positioned around his home were placed rather strategically. To any passersby, they would seem like a bunch of homeless men waiting by rich people's homes so they could get a dime or two. But they couldn't fool me. I had been there for four fucking hours, in the damn cold, to know they were watchmen. Anyone who approached the building was thoroughly searc

Athena"What the hell?" My words came out breathless as a familiar musky scent overwhelmed my senses. I blinked, taking in the sight before me. Luciano had me pressed up against his shelf, his eyes narrowed with a piercing gaze. His brows were creased in anger. Anger or desire. Or a mixture of both. With him, one could never be too sure. He breathed evenly- almost too evenly as if he was trying to keep his breath in check. His hands were on either side of my face, gripping the shelf as he bore down on me. I could feel the heat radiating off him, encircling me in a warmth that felt so damn enticing. And that made me fucking uncomfortable. Keep your head in the game, Athena, I snapped at myself mentally. I was supposed to seduce him, not the other way around. Never the other way around. Slipping my hand between us, I rested my palm lightly on his chest, feeling his heartbeat thrum rapidly underneath my fingertips. I heard him exhale lightly and smiled. "What are you doing Luciano?

Athena "Miss Gonzalez? My schedule?" Luciano demanded as we strutted towards the elevator. Today had to be one of the busiest days in Moretti Industries. It was barely noon and I'd had to sit through two meetings, made a conference call to some cancer patient in Ohio on Luciano's behalf, and interviewed two new workers in the design department. It was crazy. I could gave sworn that when I was allowed to work for him as his PA, I hadn't expected it would be so fucking tasking. Heck if you had asked me two weeks ago, I'd have said the only hard thing about the job was that I couldn't kill Luciano when I wanted to so fucking bad. However right now, as I panted right behind him reading out his schedule like it was the holy grail, the last thing on my mind was killing me. I needed rest. I needed to sit my ass on a damn lounge chair and stretch my limbs. My body ached all over and while of course, I could endure it, I didn't want to. Heck the more I thought about it, the more I was b

I stepped out of my room, my bottom lip tucked between my teeth as I walked before Frederick and Cole. They sat on the sofa in the living room chugging down my beer collection and shoving chips down their throats. “Ahem?!” I cleared my throat and struck a pose when they looked at me. Cole burst into laughter right away and a frown made its way to my face. “Who on earth picked that shitty dress for you?”I glared at the idiot and looked at Frederick. At least I could trust his judgment better than Cole's. Cole was a fucking clown and I was certain he looked for any opportunity to make me feel embarrassed. “Ah,” Frederick said, amusement written all over his face. “I’m not sure what exactly you’re aiming for, But I doubt looking like a banana is one of them.”I tossed my head back in a groan and gripped the fabric that clung to me like a second skin. “It’s because it’s yellow isn’t it?”“I swear it looks like puke,” Cole guffawed then laughed even harder when I glared at him. I turn

Rough knuckles grazed my back, gripping the straps behind them firmly, yet surely. Every brush tingled, sending ripples of warmth and shock through my skin. I hadn’t realized I was holding my breath until he leaned forward, his lips grazing my ear lobe. “You play a very dangerous game, Raven Gonzalez. What is your aim?” “Aim?” I forced myself to sound as sure and confident as I could, ignoring the heat that threatened to swaddle me whole. This was what I wanted, wasn’t it? Heck, I was sure my undercover colleagues in the hall were grinning triumphantly. But it was so damn hard.Luciano”s fingers pressed against my back, toying with the knot he had just made. Just one tug, One tug at it all would unravel the dress. He knew it. I knew it too. I leaned into his touch, the public melting away until it was just us. “I assure you, sir, I bear no ill will,” I added“Except for the will to drive a man crazy, I suppose.” He replied, hands reaching up to slide my hair away from my neck, expo

The rest of the event was filled with several attempts to break my ‘arrogant’ spirit. I had to applaud Luciano. In two fucking hours, I came to understand why the man was widely feared and revered in the mafia world. He. Was. Ruthless. I stumbled into the charity ball, sweaty with every part of me groaning from all the damn odd jobs that Luciano had made me do. In my hands was a wriggling child who fought my grasp on him. The brat had wanted to pee and guess who had to take him to the loo? Yeah, you guessed right. Me. Me of all fucking people. A personal assistant’s place was with her Boss not with orphaned kids who did nothing but pee all the fucking time. My dress was starting to smell like a public toilet and there was no way in hell that I was happy with it. I eyed Luciano who stood amidst a throng of men in suits, listening to them talk with an impassive look on his face. His hair had been adjusted before the ball began. Slicked back as always and glinting in the warm glow

Athena “No,” I replied, tightening my jaw. “Athena,” Frederick sighed tiredly. “I saw the way he treated you today. I don’t like it.” I shrugged then realized he couldn’t see me. “I don’t like it either. But I am not running away just because he was being an asshole.” “You’re not running away,” Frederick snapped. “You’re obeying a direct order from your superior!” I pulled the device away from my ear and glared at the screen. Really? He was going to play that card now? Superior my ass. “Are you giving the order as a superior? You’re asking me to stop a mission right in the middle of its course. You don’t know how close we are to finding something on him!” “You don’t know how far either! For the sake of all things good, Athena, You need to back the hell away from Luciano. He’s too clean!” “That doesn’t make him some fucking angel of light!” My voice came out in a yell I hadn’t intended. I was just so tired. So damn tired. My arms were sore. I felt like shit. I most definitely st

Athena Fury. It was a feeling I was quite familiar with. Hell, ever since I found out who was responsible for my father’s death, It was all I had known. I wanted to end him. I wanted to take away all that was precious to him first, watch the light die in his eyes, and slowly watch him die. Somehow though, the fury I felt at present was a different sort. It burned in my veins sure enough, like wildfire at the heels of fuel, but it was directed at the wrong person. Luciano’s brown eyes held mine, a hold that I found hard to break, as he devoured the lips of the brunette in his arms. Samantha or whatever the fuck her name was. I could hear from her mewls, the sounds she made that he was doing it just right, and boy, I wanted to rip her hair out just so she could shut the hell up. I wasn’t jealous. There was no way I was jealous. What was I to be jealous about? That the man she thought was into her, was kissing her just so he could make a point? That in his eyes, I could see his ta

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
