GabrielI hadn’t expected to see Rosa at Isabella’s dorm but I shouldn’t have been surprised. It was also better for Isabella to hear what I said in front of her crew. Maybe it would sink in that I was finally done with her shit.The destruction of Armando and his crew was going down tonight. Brando arranged four vehicles to transport seventeen of us. I would be breaking lockdown rules and the consequences would be dire if I got caught. The consequences for murder were worse and I was worried about neither.Armando Franko put his hands on my woman and he would know exactly why he deserved his punishment. I continued to see red when I thought about Rosa’s fear. I gave Rosa time to do what she needed to do to Isabella before I texted her.“You okay?” I asked.“I’m good. Isabella is bald.”Priceless. I couldn’t think of a better punishment and it actually made me smile.“I have things to take care of today but spend tomorrow with me, please?”“What are we going to do?”“Spend the day on
RosaI woke up excited. I’d crashed on my sister’s couch and wore her clothes again but I didn’t care. I would request a new dorm the following morning. The school could give it to me or I would throw an Isabella-sized tantrum. This was my senior year too. I wasn’t a princess but I could whine like one if it was called for.My sister had leftovers from our dinner together so I packed them, grabbed a bottle of wine, and placed it all in my backpack. I added some cinnamon rolls that were individually packed in a box. I grabbed four so we could have them with our coffee. The morning was chilly, but the sun was out and it would be a nice day for this time of year if we got lucky. I was feeling lucky.The library was empty when I entered. I loved the sound of my shoes on the wooden floor. My steps echoed and I smiled. I got to the roof first and set things up. Ten minutes later, Gabriel walked outside.“There was a line,” he said, holding up two large coffees.I smiled. “I have cinnamon ro
RosaHis eyes told me there was another ass slap coming if I didn’t. It was a hard choice but I did as he said. Holding him in my mouth was more of a challenge this way. I sucked him further down and his eyes closed as he groaned. I ran my tongue under and over him. His nostrils flared and his head went further back.My hands came up and I held him at the base.“No. Hands behind your back.”I did as he said, giving a frustrated sigh before taking him back in my mouth and locking my fingers behind me. He took his dick in his hand and ran it across my lips. I stuck my tongue out and he pushed himself against it.“Are you done playing?” he asked gruffly.“I don’t know.” And I didn’t.“Take your shirt off.”“My hands are behind my back,” I said sassily, enjoying the game even more.He dropped to his knees and looped his arm around me at the same time he pulled me off-balance and I landed ass up in his lap. His hand smoothed over me and stopped with his fingers splayed and pressing down sl
GabrielI couldn’t remember a day since I first saw her on campus that I hadn’t thought about her. Those thoughts were dirty and wicked. Now that I had her in my arms, I could also say that I knew I loved her. I’d had sex with so many girls. Sex didn’t mean much besides gratification to me. It wasn’t that way with Rosa.My feelings for her made it different.We stayed on the roof all day, and then she came back to my dorm with me.“Move in,” I said after we were stretched out in my bed, my back propped up on the pillows, her warm in my arms.“The school doesn’t allow that,” she said with a nervous laugh.“I don’t think they give a shit,” I told her. “Brando won’t care and this way, you won’t run into Isabella unless you want to.” I smiled wickedly. “The side benefit is getting your brains fucked out.”“That sounds pretty severe. I should probably try it first and then decide.” Her eyes had lit up but she kept her expression blank while she considered what I said.“You are a brat.”“I
RosaI showered with Gabriel and gave him another blow. It was super strange to wake up with him, shower, and prepare for school. He wouldn’t stop flipping up the back of my skirt when he walked past and even did it in front of Brando.“Stop,” I scolded which made him laugh.It was also strange to see him in such a good mood. Everything he did was lighter somehow. We walked to school hand in hand. During class, I would feel his eyes on me. Whenever I looked, he was watching. I answered my own romance book question of smoldering eyes. It was the only way to describe how Gabriel looked at me.I didn’t see Isabella until lunch. Student gossip was at an all-time high with Armando gone and Isabella’s shaved head. I’ll give her credit; she handled it like the princess she was and wore a colorful headscarf that in no way matched her uniform. If anything, her wrapped head stood out and looked like a new fashion trend. She sat with her crew, but I didn’t see them talking to her. Somehow Isabel
RosaI made him study with me and he always had excuses to keep from doing it. He was doing better in school though and his Ds were now Cs. We did our homework together too, though I did most of his. I also didn’t notice him cheating off my tests as much. Gabriel’s biggest problem in school was inattention and disinterest. He was a tough guy and would use his fists to get by in his family. I understood that but I also suspected he never felt smart. He just needed to apply himself.I used sex and food to bribe him. It worked. I got up, pulled the sweater over my ass, and retrieved my school bag.“You know I have a challenge tonight, right?”“Won’t get you out of studying. If it did, you would arrange a fight every night.”His lips twisted but he didn’t argue. I got an hour of schoolwork in before his roaming hands gave me other things to think about.****A large crowd had gathered for the fight. This was Rochester’s entertainment and betting was half the fun. Brando handled the money
GabrielRosa had been quiet the past few days and she said little about her plans for winter break. A car was picking me up in the morning. Rosa’s family was sending a car midafternoon.We hadn’t been separated for more than a few hours since the first week of school. It was strange. She was simply part of my life. She fit. I refused to think of my marriage to Isabella.“Is a car coming for you or is your family?” I asked her after giving her two orgasms as a going away present.“I didn’t ask,” she replied, her tone filled with gloom.“Hey,” I said and curled my fingers over the back of her neck. “Why the sadness? We’ll survive two weeks.”She looked at me, then wiped her eyes. I removed my hand and tipped her chin up.“Talk to me.”“It’s stupid. I’m jealous.”That confused me. “Why would you be jealous?” I asked.“Isabella, that’s why. You’ll be with her for two weeks and I’m jealous. I can’t help it and I don’t even want to feel this way but I do.”I laughed because this was a side
RosaIt was good to be home. My parents planned a large dinner with just our family in their upstairs apartment. We would be joining Dante and Chaney for meals after this. It was nice to be home even though I’d dreaded the time away from Gabriel.“How’s the security at Rochester holding up?” my brother, Caine, asked me.I was still mad at him for fluffing me off when I went to him for help about rooming with Isabella.“No problem. I made it into the main server and changed my schedule so I didn’t need to take senior Home-Ec.”The look on his face was priceless and now I was certain he hadn’t been successful.“Donya pissed me off and I even changed her schedule to make it worse.”He looked at Donya for confirmation.“Sorry, brother dear, but she did exactly what she said. The security at the school was no match for her hacking abilities.”My sister was helping me out on this one. I’d told her how much of a bitch it was and that I’d cheated by putting the shell on the secretary’s deskto
This is a bonus chapter for the Mafia Academy and I promise you want to read it. While I have you, I need to thank you for reading about these three amazing couples. If you continued this far, I'm sure they are as special to you as they are to me. For Mr. Xavier's complete story and how he found himself at Rochester, you’ll want to read Hotter Than Hell available on GoodNovel. Xavier is the head of the desert crime syndicate when Madison enters his world. One day, I plan to write about his children. *** Twelve years later Mr. Xavier The room, located at the top of the high-rise building far from Rochester, simply had the initials R.A. etched in glass on the double doors. There was an outer office and an inner conference room with a large antique table that filled the oversized space. I looked around the empty room, walked to the head of the table, and pulled out a chair. Men and women entered, nodded, and took their seats. Mr. Caleb and Miss Bianchi were the last to walk in. Mr. C
GabrielHer body had changed and I couldn’t believe I hadn’t noticed. Her ass was definitely bigger but sometimes I was smart and knew when to keep my mouth shut. I, however, loved her ass.We decided to keep the baby news to ourselves for Isabella’s sake too. It was for nothing. School gossip ran rampant the next day because Isabella had already left. I sent her a text with Rosa beside me to make sure she was okay.“I just touched down in Italy. I’m good. I know you and Rosa are together. Congratulations.”My asshole behavior with Isabella was at an end.“Be happy.”“I will.”“Maybe someday you will be friends,” Rosa said.“Maybe someday we won’t. There is too much water under that bridge.”“She did a good thing.”“She did. I would have married you anyway so she isn’t entirely off the hook.”“Are you going to tell your father he lost the bet?”“Hell no. I’m not letting Isabella’s father win.”She laughed and I hugged her to me, unable to get enough. I couldn’t keep my hands off the b
RosaIt was the truth. I would always be the sidepiece. I could also say with all honesty that I was glad I went for it. Gabriel was mine for a short time and I would never forget it.“He does love you enough. You won’t give him the chance to prove it.”“If I told him and he married Isabella—which is what will happen—it will kill me. It’s better like this.”She simply made a sound in her throat that let me know I was full of shit.“Come on,” she said and placed her arm back around my shoulders. “Let’s get the little mommy to her bed so she can sleep.” “I hate you.”“I’m going to be the worst aunt imaginable. If your son or daughter isn’t a hellraiser right out of the gate, I’ll do the training.”“I love you, mi amica,” I told her.“I know.”****I made it to the last week of school. I’d passed my finals easily. This was the fun time for seniors. I wasn’t drinking but there was a party every night and the alcohol flowed. It was Sunday and I had everything ready for the next morning. T
GabrielI made it through the week with busted knuckles from putting my fist through a wall. Everything else was sore from working out at the gym for hours on end. The crew returned Friday. I hadn’t heard from Rosa. I didn’t stop texting.“It doesn’t make sense,” Brando said.It didn’t. I’d heard nothing from Rosa or her sister. I wasn’t sure when they were returning. If they didn’t come back, and that worried me most, I would go after her. This was bullshit.I was in my room Saturday evening when there was a soft knock on my door. I threw it open and Rosa stood there. I knew from the look on her face, I wouldn’t like what she had to say. I spoke first.“Do not fucking do this. We have more time.”She looked down and my heart fell to my stomach.“We can’t, Gabriel; you’re marrying Isabella. It’s not fair to her or to you.”“No.”“Gabriel, you don’t have a choice. This is too hard for me. I can’t take it anymore. I told you I wouldn’t be the other woman and I meant it. Don’t make this
Rosa“You won’t say that after the first week. It’s a nightmare and several families have been hit with ransomware. The sooner you take things over, the sooner I can get Dante off my back and work on the project he wants done.”My lips trembled when I smiled.“What are you going to do about school? You have your credits and I’m sure they will work with you and give you a diploma.”“I’m going back to Rochester and finishing my senior year. It’s the only way this will work.”“Explain,” he said through tight lips.“Gabriel can’t know about the baby. I haven’t completely thought this through yet, but I shouldn’t be showing too much by graduation and should be able to pull it off.”“You think Gabriel won’t know?” he asked and I knew from the uncomfortable look in his eyes, exactly what he was saying and I blushed.“I will break up with him as soon as I return to school. It was coming anyway.” I wiped more tears away. “I’d decided I wasn’t staying with him after graduation because it would
RosaI told my mother while Chaney and Donya left to buy a pregnancy test. My mom’s arms were exactly what I needed.“Shh, mia cara,” she whispered.“I love him. I want to have his babies. I want to spend the rest of my life with him,” I cried angrily. “This isn’t fair.”“Life is not fair, mia cara.”The pregnancy test was positive. And the next one and the next. I kept staring at the two lines.My sister’s expression was pure freak-out. Chaney’s slightly better. My mother was the calmest of all of us and I knew she had to be so disappointed. We hadn’t used protection on the rooftop that day. I’d never gone on the pill. I’d messed this entire thing up completely.I looked at my mother with tears running down my face. “He will do his duty to his family and marry Isabella. He can never know. If you’ll allow me to live here, I’ll raise the baby on my own.”My mother, who rarely swore, let out the most foul word I’d ever heard her use.“You are my daughter and my home will always be your
Gabriel My grades improved with Rosa’s help. How could they not? While my arm was still in a brace, she’d done all my homework. She asked me the answers but for the most part I sexually teased her while studying because that was more fun.We had a week of spring break coming up, and then everyone would concentrate on graduation. I wasn’t looking forward to any of it. Well, maybe the break. Rosa and her sister’s crew were joining mine in Cabo. We were spending the weekend with our families and then meeting at the resort.This was our last mad dash of senior life. I had no fucking idea what Isabella was doing over the break and I didn’t care. I simply wanted to spend time with Rosa.I wrapped my arm around her Friday before she left for her parents’ home.“I’ll see you Monday. I have a big surprise just for you.”She swatted my arm at my ridiculous devilish grin.I only had to get through the weekend with my parents, and then we would have the best week of our lives.****Rosa“Come on
RosaShe got it all out without a word from me. I stood in shock which was stupid. Isabella was a devious bitch. She’d been quiet for too long.“Fuck off,” I said and continued walking.My thoughts were everywhere. I didn’t think Gabriel slept with her but he had not told me about the house or property. If he’d kept that from me, had he lied about sleeping with her? I bypassed my sister’s building and went to the roof. I hadn’t been up here in a long time and it made me sad to see what it was like before I moved into Gabriel’s dorm. It was a pathetic life. I pulled back the tarp, sat down on my pillows, and cried.I’m unsure why Isabella’s declaration hit so hard. I always knew she would get Gabriel in the end. He wouldn’t lie to me or at least I didn’t think he would. But wasn’t that what the guys did? They lied to their wives and they lied to their mistresses. I would have the second role if I took it and I wouldn’t. Not because I wouldn’t do everything I could to be with Gabriel bu
RosaThe car pulled up to campus and my heart raced. Gabriel was waiting for me at his dorm.“Rosa, I would like a private word,” my brother said.My sister rolled her eyes, told him goodbye, and got out of the car with her bag. She walked away knowing I was in for another lecture.“Think hard on this,” Caine said. “I’m not stupid. I know you think you love him.”I held up my hand. “I don’t think anything of the sort. I love him.”“Fuck, Rosa. You’re smarter than this.”“I know what will happen. I know it will break my heart. I haven’t had a boyfriend the entire time I’ve been at Rochester because I only saw one boy and he was taken. For now, he’s mine and I will keep him for as long as I can.”“I love you, sis.”I heard the defeat in his voice.“I love you too and I’ll need a big shoulder to cry on much too soon. I’d like it to be yours.”“My shoulder will always be yours,” he said softly.I got out of the car and didn’t look back. Gabriel was waiting.His room was dark when I opened
