Mafia Kings: Ronan 10. Breakfast With The Boys
EVERLEIGHI let Ronan lead me back down the stairs and into my kitchen. There were even more men at my dining table than before. There were unfamiliar men everywhere actually. There were two on the kitchen loveseat, three at the kitchen island and four at my dining table. Adding them up there were ten, including Ronan, extremely good looking men crammed in the open kitchen/dining/living space of my apartment.I could feel the walls start to close in and the panic attack I could feel coming, was taking root in my chest. It didn’t help that when they noticed that I was in the room all of their eyes were fixed on me. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Samson slinking his way into the room from the balcony. He must be sensing my uneasiness and is assessing the situation. His ears are pinned back and I’m afraid that sudden movement from any one of these men will send him into attack mode.As calmly as I can, I move into his direct line of sight. As long as he can see me he won’t fee

RONANI'm not sure at what point the morning veered off course but an hour later we finally got to sit down to breakfast. Breakfast with my group of lads is an event any day, but breakfast with the lads and a pretty lady is a full blown spectacle.Embarrassing stories… Check!Heavily embellished stories… Double check!Shameless flirting… Triple check!The flirting isn't just from my guys either. Whatever they're dishing out, she's taking it and giving it right back at them. She's got a rapier wit and a silver tongue.I know I'm sitting here grinning like a lovestruck fool in front of all of my guys, not ashamed in the slightest that they might see. Once upon a time I would never let any of them see me like this. But that was then and this is now.Now we aren't fighting deadly wars on all fronts.Now the dark parts of the city are at peace with one another. Now we can all finally sit back and enjoy the empire my grandfather built from nothing.And enjoying it is what I plan to do.Ev

EVERLEIGH“And you Ms. Logan, are most certainly mine.”It's been a few hours since Ronan left me at the gate to our private entrance, but his words at the park that was dedicated to his grandmother still have my body covered in goosebumps. What does it mean?He’s crazy?Is he laying a claim to me like some kind of caveman?I think so.Do I want him to?Uhh… Yeah! He’s gorgeous!I’m no closer to answers or decisions than I was when he said it. He’s definitely a man that gets what he wants and apparently he has chosen to set his sights on me. I’m just not sure if I’m ready to take that kind of chance or not.I mean he all but confessed to me that he wasn’t the guy I thought he was. But this morning at breakfast I could see the darkness in his eyes when he was challenged by his inner circle. I’ve been laying in my bed for the last few hours guessing, second guessing and making a mess out of the few words spoken. I couldn’t help but think back on the way his hand felt in mine. When he
Last Updated : 2023-10-10Mafia Kings: Ronan 13. The Party From Hell
EVERLEIGH When I first entered the event hall I couldn't believe my eyes. Gone were the drab, boring egg shell walls. In its place were cream colored walls with white wainscoting and gold trim around the top, middle and bottom of the newly transformed walls. The crystal chandeliers sparkle like diamonds with chiffon swags draped elegantly through the arms holding the lights. The same blush pink chiffon adorned the backs of chairs in big, over exaggerated bows.There was a stage setup at what I could only assume is supposed to represent the front of the room. Large bouquet arrangements of Magnolia flowers, Roses, Peonies Cymbidium and Phalaenopsis Orchids stood out as centerpieces on each table. The same arrangement style was used as large draping swags along the front of the table on the stage. The sense of pride that I am feeling is almost euphoric. We generally don't get to see the finished results of how our arrangements are used. And I can't help the feelings of accomplishment
Last Updated : 2023-10-10Mafia Kings: Ronan 14. The Party From Hell - Ronan
RONANI've been pacing my office for the last half hour waiting for this party to start. I'm nervous as fuck and I don't know why. No, I do know why. Everleigh is why.Inviting her to this shit show was a spur of the moment decision. She isn't ready for this life. Who am I kidding though. She may never be ready for this life. She's too good. Too pure hearted to be involved with someone like me. I'm also on edge about this damn party. The city's elite are invited and that always brings unwelcome guests as well. No doubt the Silvestro's will crash this party just like they have done everyone we have thrown since his damn daughter turned Eighteen.Antonio Silvestro is single handedly responsible for all of the bad in this town. I know the drugs and illegal weapons we deal in are part of the bad but we have strict rules that we deal in. He's also responsible for the trafficking of women. The same traffickers that kidnapped Everleigh three years ago.A light knock at my office door brin

EVERLEIGHThank God for Sean giving me a way out of the ladies room. I could tell that group was going to be trouble from the first moment I saw them. Daddy's little princesses that are spoiled ass rotten and can do no wrong. At one point this evening I heard the guys talking about a group of party crashers. I guess I just met them."Jesus Christ she doesn't know when to stop." Kierian muttered under his breath. I followed his line of sight and what I saw made me see red.That bitch had herself wrapped around Ronan. He stood stiff as a board and I could see the muscle in his jaw ticking from across the room.I'm not sure what came over me, but what happened next I'm jot sure anyone could have predicted. I felt like a woman possessed. I pushed my way through the crowd that was beginning to form around the spectacle that was this spoiled bitch. If I had any doubts that this was something Ronan didn't want, they were squashed the moment I caught the look on his face. One perfect eyebr
Last Updated : 2023-10-10Mafia Kings: Ronan 16. I Want To Show You Something
EVERLEIGHFive days…It’s been five days since my world changed.My mother is alive.My mother is alive and is married to Antonio Silvestro.My mother is alive and is married to the monster that kidnapped me and was going to sell me.I haven’t spoken to Ronan since that night.I haven’t spoken to anyone actually. When it gets bad like this, and unfortunately this isn’t the first time I’ve shut myself away and gone non verbal, Gran usually calls in the cavalry.That would be why I’m sitting in the middle of Woodland Park, Samson at my feet, drinking coffee with my cousin. Adrianna and I grew up thinking that we were sisters. We were inseparable. She’s a month older than me and has always been my protector. When we turned sixteen, she protected me from her alcoholic father. Her father used to beat the shit out of her on a near daily basis. He blamed her for her mother dying in childbirth. I’m not sure but I think he was sexually abusing her too. Until one he set his sights on me. He co
Last Updated : 2023-10-10Mafia Kings: Ronan 17. The Ranch
EVERLEIGHRonan takes Samson's leash from me and practically drags me to the parking lot. He takes me straight to a bright, shiny red truck. I never took him for the truck type, but okay.He opened the back door and Samson jumped right on to the beige leather seats. I winced when he spun a circle and plopped himself down. I haven’t had his nails trimmed in a while and I hope he doesn’t tear up the leather.“Umm…” I point to my dog and the leather seats.“He’s fine. I’ll just buy a new truck. This one is a few years old anyways.” I look at him like he has lost his damn mind. My truck is the same model style and I've had it since Bryan died. He bought it for me a few months before I was taken.“Must be nice to have more money than God. Some of us have to take care of what we have.” With his hand at the small of my back, he led me to the passenger side of the truck, opened the door and helped me in. Because of course it was lifted as well.He closed the door and came around to the drive

Mafia Kings: Ronan 29. She's My Queen
EVERLEIGH The atrium was decorated perfectly. The decorations mirrored the park's decorations right down to my exact favorite color of coral. Ronan led me through the crowd to his waiting family. Aoife and Rowan were first to welcome me to their family, followed by his father. Ronan was off to the side talking to Rogan when strong arms grabbed me from behind and spun me in a circle before putting me back down.The action startled me to the point that I let out an involuntary shriek. The thoughts running through my head before I realized it was Rhyon, had me in fight or flight mode.When he put me down, he planted a wet, sloppy kiss directly on my mouth. To say I was shocked is an understatement. But it took everything I had not to laugh when he was chastised by all of his brothers, his father and even his mother.But I finally lost it when Rowen started poking fun at him. When she kicked off her shoes and took off running with
Mafia Kings: Ronan 28. She's A Vision
RONANThe staff that put together Everleigh’s vision on such short notice are definitely getting a bonus out of this. It's perfect. Every little detail is just how she described it.She just wasn't expecting it to be outdoors.When she hijacked Sean's earpiece and I heard the nervousness in her voice, I almost lost it myself. The way she said that she needed to talk to me almost had me in a panic attack. I've never had a panic attack before in my life. But then she slid her hand in mine and told me she loved me. It took everything I had to let her walk away. I almost went full on caveman and threw her over my shoulder and hightailed it back to the penthouse. Rannon bitched and moaned the whole way over here about having to escort Adrianna down the aisle to stand beside Everleigh. He claims that she gets on his nerves but I know better. I see the way he looks at her. And she's not shy about the looks she's been giving him. The little vulture.But that's not the thing that has me wo
Mafia Kings: Ronan 27. I Love Him
EVERLEIGH I stood in my room looking at my reflection in the mirror of the walk in closet. Adrianna, Rowan and Gran were all fussing about with my hair and dress. The row of pearl buttons along the back were a nice touch at the time but standing here having to have help to get in and out of the dress is for the birds.Ronan and his brother's left about an hour ago to head to the venue we will be getting married at. I still can't believe that Ronan wants to make it a surprise. Surprises like this are my least favorite. They make me anxious. I like my surprises to be spontaneous, like the day Ronan took me to his ranch. A soft knock at the door had me holding my breath until my brother popped his head in. It's still surreal to think that I have a family other than Adrie and Gran."Ladies, can we have the room for a minute?" Aleksandar asked with a slight smile. Rowan and Adrianna gave me one last look over before they left the
Mafia Kings: Ronan 26. It's Perfect
EVERLEIGH Ronan was in the kitchen when I came down for the day. He sat at the island scrolling through a tablet with a mug in his hand. He winked at me and his sinfully sexy smirk stopped me in my tracks.“Morning.”It was just one word and my ovaries were already working overtime. Why was his slight Irish accent so sexy? Everything about this man screams sex. And he’s just sitting in a pair of loose shorts, bare chest and tattoos exposed, pretending to be innocent. Does he know the effect his rich, smoky voice and those piercing blue eyes have on me?The fluttering in my chest and the heat spreading throughout my body were testament to what one look from Ronan Callaghan could do to a girl. The way that cocky bastard smirks at me lets me know he knows exactly the effect it has on me.We haven't so much as shared a bed in almost two weeks at this point. But that didn't stop him from his shameless flirting. He would catch me in a corner, get me all hot and bothered, and just leave
Mafia Kings: Ronan 25. The Proposal
RONAN It's been almost a week since the incident at the club and we are nowhere closer to figuring out this mystery than we were the day Everleigh fell through the conference room doors. When I brought her home from the clinic I put her in one of the guest bedrooms. Whatever that asshole injected her with didn't come up on any of Rogans scans. Whatever that shit was fucked her up good. She was out for three and a half days. 'Out' is putting it very loosely. She had vivid nightmares. Rogan stayed with her the first night and she talked to him through the hell that was going on in her sleep. The second night was so bad I had to go down and get Samson from Eden.But the third night… that one almost broke me. Maksimillian stayed with her that night. She told him exactly everything they did to her in such detail that it made me sick to my stomach when I watched the video back. In all the years that I have known him, I've never se
Mafia Kings: Ronan 24. Don't Test Me
RONAN I broke the kiss almost as quickly as I had started it. She looked up at me with her big blue eyes and I melted. I am beyond pissed right now, but I don't need to take it out on her. I can feel the slight tremble run through her body, but I don't know if it's because she's scared or turned on.I take a step back, but not before I fix her with a blank stare and wrap my fingers lightly around her throat."If another man touches you, I will end him." I said, the dark tone in my voice emphasized by the slight squeeze of my fingers. Her eyes went wide only for a second before something else took over. I saw the look in her eyes for what it really was. She fucking likes it when I manhandled her!"Watch out for Luciano. He knows you're mine and wants to make a game of it." If I wasn't so pissed at the situation I may have actually laughed at the look on her face. "You know him?" She asked incredulously. "I would hate to have to kill my best friend." I was really having trouble k
Mafia Kings: Ronan 23. Too Many To Choose From
EVERLEIGHSEVERAL HOURS EARLIERI stood in the walk-in closet and just stared. It’s only been an hour or so since we went down and met with Rogan, so I know I haven't fallen asleep and missed a day or ten. What Ronan referred to as my side of the closet was relatively empty when we had left. Now I’m standing in a fully stocked closet. Did I fall through some kind of alternate dimension? Does clothing multiply like Tribbles? I ran my hand along the tops of the hangers, taking in the feel of the different fabrics against my skin. Silk and Satin.Chiffon and Lace.And why does he keep sending Oisin after clothes for me? The last dress I wore was almost a disaster.I stood back and took all of it in. It was all organized by categories. Sleepwear, casual, dinner, formal… There were more clothes here than I would wear in a year.I found a silk robe hanging with the sleep wear. I quickly undressed and slid the robe on, letting the cool fabric kiss my heated skin. I leafed through the hang
Mafia Kings: Ronan 22. Club 7
RONAN The club was just getting up and running when we pulled into the underground parking garage. I left Everleigh at the penthouse with Oisin and Rhyon. Oisin was supposed to be helping her pick out something to wear. I'm only hoping I stressed the word 'appropriate' enough for his devious little mind to comprehend.There is no way in hell I want a replay of the fashion disaster that he picked for her for the engagement party. Actually, I take that back. That dress was sexy as fuck. And I know that I got a flash of her pussy a time or two so it makes me wonder if anyone else did too. And if I ever find out… I’ll kill them all.I followed Rannon up to my office as Connor and Brennan waited for the twins and Lucian to arrive. I have a few questions for them regarding Everleigh’s scars and I am hoping they can give me the answers that I need.Rannon unlocked the door and pushed it open. I went in and turned the light on while my brother made use of the mini bar. I stood at the wall
Mafia Kings: Ronan 21. You Live Here?
EVERLEIGH It didn't take as much convincing Gran to leave the apartment as I thought it would. But why would it? If Ronan is correct, then Gran has been putting off moving in with his grandfather for quite some time now. I can't believe she didn't tell me. It's not that I would have thought any less of her. She never does anything for herself. I don't even remember the last time she took a vacation that wasn't longer than a weekend away. Come to think of it, I wonder if those weekends away were with Patrick?I never knew my grandfather, he died before I was born, and what little I did know of him was that he was a mean son of a bitch. So what if Gran has a weekly romp in the sheets with Ronan's grandfather. They're both consenting adults.How is that any worse than what happened in my bedroom this morning?Gran and I rode the elevator up to the twentieth floor. Patrick's apartment was on this floor along with Rowan's. Ronan rang the doorbell to his grandfather's apartment and the t
