Indebted To The Cruel Mafia Boss Trust Issues
Chapter 51Katie's POVIn this line of business, no one can ever be fully trusted. Lines can never be drawn, or they will be crossed daily. It is best to keep things to yourself.“Well, if I hear anything among the men, I will let you know,” Felix assures me.“Thank you,” I replied, dismissing him. The fact that my mother’s killer is out there, beneath one of our two families, is far too much for me to stomach. I find myself crawling back upstairs to my bathroom to take another shower.It is funny how I can kill left and right and pull people from their families like nothing, but something so simple can bring me to my knees. It doesn’t matter how much I say I don’t care, or how much I try to bathe in the blood of those I kill, it never takes the pain away, never makes me forget.Katie,When I awake, I’m alone. The spot next to mine in the bed is cold, and I sigh in relief. This is the second morning I’m waking up in his bed, and I’m not even a little more used to it than yesterday.I

Chapter 52Katie's POV“I will call you whatever the fuck I want. Now take your pajamas off and sit on the edge of the desk.” His finger points to the exact location my butt cheeks need to be. Instead of doing what he wants me to do, I glare at him, willing ice daggers to come out of my eyes and stab him.“No,” I say in the same cold tone he’d given me. A fire ignites in his eyes, and I wonder if that’s what gets him off—killing people and sex.“No?” he questions, eyebrows raised.“No. As in N.O.,” I repeat again, spelling it out for him in case he isn’t aware. I don’t want to have sex with him, not yet. Not that there is shit I can do about it. I will still try, though.Shaking his head, he gives me a disappointed look. A look that has me on high alert. I just disobeyed him again.“Okay,” he finally says, smiling. It is a dazzling one, you know, the kind that makes you go all weak in the knees? Yeah, that one. I’m so caught up that I don’t notice his body moving, or that he is within

Chapter 53Katie's POVThe intensity of his thrusting with me pushing against him pushes me over the edge. My insides clench, and the burning consumes me as a deep warmth radiates gloriously throughout my body.I feel myself falling back down to earth. My eyes are heavy, and every part of my body feels like I have been through the wringer. I smile blissfully. He may be an evil man, someone who kills people with his hands and guns, but he definitely knows how to pleasure a woman. He can cause you extreme pain or bring you to great lengths of pleasure.“Coming back down to earth, piccolo?” he teases, his tongue running across my stomach, dipping into my belly button. I tense as my body is still reeling with aftershocks. I can’t handle anymore, and I whimper as I pull my legs together.“Yes, you are still a monster,” I murmur as I find my voice again. My brain slowly returns to its normal function when I sit up, I take in his messy hair and the dashing smile on his face. His eyes twinkl

Chapter 54Katie's POV“Don’t play games with me. Get dressed. I have some stuff to do today.” His words are a command. I reach for my clothes to get dressed without thinking. He has that much power over me.He leads me downstairs to the large, open space kitchen. The dining table is already decked when we enter. As soon as we sit down, the chef brings us each a plate with an omelet.Cephus sends her and the guard out of the room before we start eating. My mind is replaying what we did in his bedroom. I thought us having oral sex would ease the tension between us. Maybe open him up a bit to me, but instead, I feel like his walls are going up even further.“Do you have any siblings?” I ask when I’m finished with my omelet.“No,” he simply answers.“Me neither, but you probably knew that already.” He knew my fucking bra size, I’m sure he knows simple facts about my family relations. “What about grandparents? Or other family members? Are you close with anyone?”“No.” He doesn’t offer any

Chapter 55Cephus’ POVThe house usually stays quiet. I have no neighbors, the main road is far away, and my staff knows not to interrupt my work with noise. That’s why I’m so surprised when I hear a soft melody carry through the usually silent space.Perking up, I drop the pen and leave the calculator behind as I get up from my leather office chair. Like a child called by the pied piper, I am moving without thought. The lovely melody hypnotizes me and urges me to follow it, beckoning me closer.When I open the door leading to the hallway, the sound of someone playing the piano becomes louder and even more bewitching.Briskly, I make my way through the house and to the music room, where the sound is the loudest.Katie is sitting at the piano, her fingers dancing over the keys, producing one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.I can only see her side profile from where I’m standing, but I don’t miss the peaceful way she smiles while playing. She is concentrating, so engrossed

Chapter 56Katie’s POVMy body hums with anticipation. It’s been hours since I last saw Cephus.“I’ll be gone for a bit, but when I get back, I’ll take you somewhere, and after, I will take that cherry between your legs...” His words ring in my ears.He left me breathless. Hot and bothered just like he wanted me to be, I went back to his room to get ready. My heart is beating out of my chest as it is. I want to see him, but at the same time, I don’t. I hate him, but I kind of find him endearing at the same time.His smirk makes my panties melt, but his cockiness and the way he handles things make me want to turn his gun on him.My hands drift over the tight satin fabric that clings to my body. When he told me to get dressed up, I went all the way out.I have never looked this sexy in my entire life. My hair is in loose curls that fall softly down my back. The dress is black satin and sparkles in the light; a sweetheart neckline and tight bodice show off every curve.My makeup is don

Chapter 57Katie’s POVOnly when he’s seemed to calm down a bit, do I have the courage to ask, “Where exactly are we and what are we doing? I thought this would just be dinner?”“You thought wrong. Just look pretty and don’t ask questions tonight. Don’t talk at all,” he snaps at me, and I feel like he verbally slapped me. His condescending tone doesn’t help.Turning my head, I look out of the window, trying to ignore how he just spoke to me. I tell myself, it’s just the way he is when he is out, that this is not the real him, but it doesn’t help. It doesn’t make me feel better or any less helpless.Everyone pours from the vehicles, and when I get out, I look around. I think we are at some kind of night club. A long line of partiers stand before us, women and men of all shapes and sizes. I’m wobbly on my feet as Cephus presses his hand firmly on the small of my back.“You don’t have to be an asshole to me just because you’re mad at someone else…” I whisper for his ears only, feeling l

Chapter 58Katie's POVCephus’s footsteps can be heard crossing the concrete floor until he stops in front of a middle-aged man. His hair is slick with grease like it hasn’t been washed for several weeks, his eyes are red and jittery. He looks as if he is waiting for his next hit.“Is that what you do, Zach?” Cephus questions, his words coming out like a verbal slap.“I borrowed money for her fucking facelift, kill her, not me,” the guy named Zach points at the woman next to him.“You fucking asshole!” The woman yells.“Wow, throwing your own wife under the bus. That’s some fucked up bullshit.” Eli laughs like it’s the best joke he’s heard all year.“That is some fucked up bullshit,” Cephus agrees. “If it makes you feel better. You both are going to die. All of you are.” He looks down the line of people.“I don’t owe you any money,” one of the men says.“Sorry, collateral damage.” Cephus shrugs, bringing his attention back to Zach. “Any last words?” Cephus cocks his head to the side,

Chapter 183Katie's POVAll I see is a blur of him as I try to get my mind and body to function so I can answer him. My legs hit the floor as he pushed me down, releasing me to walk away. His hand grips his hair as he stares at the gun in his other hand and back down to me.“No. No, it’s not true,” I whimper, tears still falling. “Don’t listen to him,” I plead, looking him straight in the eyes.“Silence,” he orders, walking over to me with his hand raised. Will he hit me? Will he hurt me?“That isn’t true!” I shoot back. “Nothing he is saying is true…”Silence ensues for a long second before Cephus speaks. “Get the ropes and tape!” he yells to Mack. I’m lying on the ground on my side when his face comes into my vision.“Was it all a lie, Katie? Was it all some fucked up lie so that you could get into my head? So you could get the inside job done and walk away unscathed?” His voice is so loud in my ears, I push away from him.“Was it?” he shouts, demanding a response, his fingers gripp

Chapter 182Katie's POV“I see it as more of a protective arrangement for both of us. There are legal protections for each of us… incentives to keep one another’s secrets.”I fixed him with what I hoped was the most vicious look I had in me. “I never went to the cops after you kidnapped me, didn’t go running to my parents begging them to find someone to break your kneecaps, and you thought you needed some other way of getting me to keep your secrets?”“It matters…” I can hear the anxiety in Mack’s voice. Something is very, very wrong.“Why does it matter? She was nothing before this whole incident and will be nothing after everything takes place. She’s clean. I know it.” Cephus sounds confident, and though I know I have done nothing wrong, if Mack convinces him I did something, I know I am as good as dead.“It matters because I know she’s not clean. After Jared called me and told me what Luccio said, I did a little digging on her and found some shit out.”Horror fills my mind. What i

Chapter 181Katie's POV“I was seven or eight, in a regular primary school not far from here.” His right hand moved, grasping for his phone, then he left it alone and pulled my hand he was still holding onto his knee, placing both of his hands over it. If the ring I was wearing was digging in, he didn’t give any sign. “It might surprise you to hear this, Katie, but I was not the best of children.”“Shocking revelation.”“I was always targeting kids a bit younger, a bit smaller. The ones I knew wouldn’t be able to give me any shit in return. Except this one time, there was this kid—Billy Burke, I remember his name vividly—and he did give me shit. He told me he wanted me to stop pushing him around and trying to scare him, and no he wasn’t going to give me his lunch money, by the way. I’d never run into this situation before when I was running this scam, so I panicked a bit. I hit him in the face. Told me to his parents.”I didn’t know what to say to this. It took me all too quickly b

Chapter 180Katie's POVEven when it gets worked out in the end, it sucks for long-term relationships.”It had to be even harder to find someone you could enter into the sort of long-term relationship most people were especially keen on with. Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised Cephus had jumped at the chance to get me on board as a future wife.And speaking of my future husband, I had half-expected he wouldn’t be there when I returned. Then when I saw him sitting on the couch in front of the TV where he’d been when I ran out to get in Caroline’s car—where he’d probably slept for all I knew, he’d gone out the night before and hadn’t been back before I admitted defeat and crawled to bed—I half-expected to spot Angel somewhere in the room in the next moment. She didn’t have anything further to add to her roster of manipulations for the moment: we were alone.“What was your day like?” asked Cephus without looking at me. I let my bag slip by degrees from my fingers, frozen in place by the p

Chapter 179Katie's POV“Cephus isn’t supposed to be a part of this side of things, he can’t do it… and I doubt you’re in a position to ask your mother for assistance. Caroline is an ideal choice.”I didn’t like it, but she was right. I couldn’t go about this the wrong way if I ever wanted to be on Cephus’s good side. I didn’t want to go about it the wrong way. And while I was surrounded by Cephus’s family I needed to make connections unless I wanted to be treated the same way I was on my own. Caroline seemed like the safest option there so far.“If you’re sure I won’t be inconveniencing you,” I told Caroline. “I could use the help. I don’t have much experience with the whole wedding business, that much is for sure.”Caroline broke out in a little golf clap of delight. There might actually be some benefit in spending trying to absorb as much as I could of her elegance. “I’m so pleased to help. Now, I was thinking, I have the whole of tomorrow afternoon off work, so that would be a g

Chapter 178Katie's POVI sat up with a gasp.It was just like the morning before when I had woken to unexpected voices. But this time I was in a strange bed again, and at least one of those voices didn’t seem familiar at all.I’d learned my lesson from the day before. I couldn’t get myself into the single bathroom in the apartment, but I pulled on a proper outfit, brushed out my hair, and cleaned my face thoroughly with some wipes. I didn’t dare put on makeup without a full mirror, but I was young and fresh enough that I could probably get away without it.Once I was decent, I made a quick and quiet tidy of my room and then stepped up to the door for a bit of strategic eavesdropping before I joined the action.A childish female voice was doing most of the talking. “She’ll need someone to guide her through the process.”Cephus’s voice sounded both amused and exasperated. “Someone who has never been even close to getting married before?”“You know exactly what Caroline means.” The thi

Chapter 177Katie's POVI kept trying to convince myself that what I was craving was the worst craving anyone had ever had, including anything that had been thought up by a brain on pregnancy. But it was ridiculous to be so worried about whether I did or didn’t sleep with him when I was already making myself vulnerable to him, right? Or was this just how I was convincing myself to go along with wherever my lust took me?I don’t think about looking at my plate. Then when Cephus abruptly slid his chair backwards and stood, I startled like a tiny animal that could run away if provoked further. I knew damn well I couldn’t run.Cephus came to my side and put his hand out for mine, drawing me to my feet when I complied.“You have sauce on you,” he said and pointed it out on my shirt—his fingertip pressing slightly into my breast in a way that was, I’m sure, entirely necessary.I looked down at his hand there. Well, I’d managed to at least try to eat something.I thrust my chest forward in

Chapter 176Katie's POV“Madonna and child.” Cephus folded his arms and leaned back; it felt like an acknowledgment that I’d landed a hit, but I didn’t have any idea how. I’d just been trying to give a voice to my frustrations. “So you know a little bit about art, then.”“I think that’s kind of something I picked up through pop culture actually,” I said. I was hoping to screw with him while I seemed to have an advantage, and he did appear to deflate a little in response. “You’d be more eager to get a leg over if I was the kind of girl who t art and how to engage with you because I have any desire to ‘get a leg over’. And I have no intention of scorning you because you lack cultural polish. I assure you that I will be able to provide for you sexually in every way you might require.”“What kind of statement is that? Trust me, I’m a sexy beast, even though from the way I behave you would expect pretty much any Arctic land to be less frigid than I am?”“Do you want me to provide referen

Chapter 175Katie's POV“Am I supposed to believe you are shy?”I was so startled by Cephus's Voice that here I dropped the capsicum I’d been fidgeting with. It rolled across the bench, and Cephus caught it with one hand while he continued dicing its unlucky sibling with the other.“I guess you wouldn’t,” I admitted, “but if any situation was going to make me feel that way… I mean, we’ve gone from you having me dragged out If bed to trying to cook with me?”“You’ve got to roll with the challenges life presents you sometimes, Katie,” said Cephus, rolling the second capsicum into the path of his knife.“Are you talking about me here or you?”“Both of us, for once.” His expression visibly dulled. It struck me then just how much more animated he had become since we had first met. It was just a handful of hours but there was someone behind the mafia man front he was slowly letting me see, whether by choice or unconsciously I did not know.It bothered disappearing again. It was messing wi
