Ricci caught her as she swayed and almost collapsed again.‘Ricci?’Her eyes locked on to his as he swung her into his strong arms,‘Sono io, bambina' [It’s me baby girl]She flinched at his choice of words but the feeling of warmth and safety suffused her body and her eyes rolled back into her head as she gave into the darkness wanting to claim her.They were suddenly surrounded by men with guns all cocked and ready to shoot as two of the other Dons came forward gesturing angrily‘Perché avrebbe sparato a Don Mario, che era il migliore amico di suo padre?’ [Why would she shoot Don Mario he was her Fathers best friend?]One of them said standing in front of him as he tried to carry her back to his SUV,‘He was no friend of her Family’Ricci snarled at them.,‘Era un fottuto traditore, una fottuta spia, era il cugino di Don Giovanni. Ha catturato sua Madre, entrambi i suoi genitori si sono fidati di lui ed è stato come un fratello per suo Padre. Portò Maria da Giovanni e poi si fece da
It was only as he processed what she had said did he realise she was gone, and he stood anxiously rushing into their bedroom,‘Bellissima, mi dispiace tanto.’ [Beautiful, I am so sorry.]He began but she was not in the room the door had been flung wide he saw and he knew he had failed her again, she had needed his understanding and love after such a declaration. He had given her neither just shock and disgust at what she had suffered, it had not been aimed at her but how was she supposed to know that? He could imagine her thoughts now, she would hate herself, her shame and humiliation would be tearing her proud heart to pieces, he knew how she thought and she would be blaming herself.Alcina collapsed, her legs giving way before she got very far, she was so weak from her incarceration she could not go any further, panting heavily she looked up and groaned. She was barely a few feet away from the villa and even now Ricci’s guards were heading toward her, Romero, one of his main capos,
Then as if she had not suffered enough she was called before the other Dons, they had heard what Mario had done but not the full story and without realising what it would do to her they demanded a meeting. Alcina bravely agreed she was a Don herself, she had led them into the war that had destroyed Giovanni now she needed to explain Mario’s betrayal. After a quick shower and a change of clothes, she put on her silver grey Dior trouser suit, it was designed to mimic their Armani suits but fitted to her slender figure. She teamed it with a darker grey shirt and matching four inch Jimmy Choo heels, her make up was minimal and her pale golden hair hung in a loose curtain of soft curls down her back. She looked ethereally beautiful as she walked down to the meeting room where all the Dons waited for her. Still in shock from what had happened to her she stood before them took a deep breath then in an icy cold voice devoid of all emotion told them everything Don Mario had done to her from
He said quietly and Alcina looked at him kindly,‘"No Don Luciano non l'hai fatto e date le circostanze penso che ognuno di noi avrebbe fatto esattamente lo stesso. È finita, ciò che conta ora è il futuro. Ricci non è suo Padre, mi ha salvato la vita e’ [No Don Luciano you didn’t and under the circumstances I think any one of us would have done exactly the same. It is over, what matters now is the future. Ricci is not his Father, he saved my life and]She looked at the men around the table and blushed prettily her blue eyes sparkling,‘Lo amo. Questa faida finisce ora, Giovanni è morto, mio Padre è morto. E' finita' [I love him. This feud ends now, Giovanni is dead, my Father is dead. It is over]She said and left the room her back ramrod straight and Ricci stared after her in shock,‘Had she just stated in front of all the Dons that she loved him?’Luciano turned to smile at the handsome young Don,‘Posso suggerirti di seguirla, Ricardo? Quella bella e giovane puledra vale la pena di
Now the guilt engulfed her and all she wanted to do was run back to her home curl up in a corner and never leave again. He stared at the lost little waif who wandered out of the door, gone was the confident, brave young woman who had left to find her ’family’ she was two years older but she was a child.‘Alcina?’He whispered and those huge azure blue met his,‘Dear God, they were so full of pain, she was broken.’He thought and then opened his arms and she was in them, so fragile and tiny, he could not believe what his eyes were telling him, she was trembling so violently he did not think twice. He had just turned sixty five but he had kept himself fit and as he scooped her up he found she weighed nothing,‘It’s alright little one, you are home now, you are safe.’He held her to his chest and carried her out to his Rolls Royce where his driver jumped out and held the door his face a picture of shock,‘Is she okay Sir?’He asked remembering the brassy teenager he had driven to the air
‘Ah, Mr Winstyne, so good of you to attend, do we need to transfer this good lady to your private clinic?’She was not in the least intimidated by the Surgeon, who was actually Lord Winstyne and who rarely got his hands dirty these days, he had his minions who did that. He always made and exception for a member of the Royal family and the beautiful young woman in front of him was a Duchess,‘No, My Lady, your friend will not be moved, she urgently needs a triple bypass and a theatre is being prepared as we speak. If you would kindly follow my Nurse she will take you to my private waiting room where I do believe her husband is waiting. I need to inform you both that surgery can take anywhere up to six hours so please be patient.’His private waiting rooms were very different from the cold dirty hard back chairs stuck in a tiny room that passed for the waiting room downstairs.This room was a large, bright airy room painted pale yellow, big overstuffed comfy chairs dotted around it, with
When they got back to their home Janie came rushing out hugging Alcina as she stepped out of the car,‘Darling girl, it is so good to see you, come in, come in, I’ve got dinner on, let me show you to your room and then we can sit down and eat.’She tugged her inside and up the stairs to a pretty pink room gushing sweetly,‘I know it’s a little girlie, our Granddaughter just loves pink I’m afraid.’They both laughed, at the pink frilly curtains, fluffy pink bedspread and mountain of pink stuffed toys,‘A little girlie?’Alcina tried not to laugh out loud biting her lip but it was a losing battle, Janie let out a loud guffaw and it set Alcina off they both collapsed together holding each other as they laughed until they cried.‘Oh God, I’m so sorry Janie.’Alcina hiccuped but then Janie started off again setting her off laughing hysterically until they collapsed onto the bed exhausted, side by side they lay panting hard.‘I really have to go and finish dinner.’Janie said not looking at
Since she had started with this new chat show its ratings had skyrocketed making it the number one show across the UK and the USA where it went out simultaneously. It was a joint venture from TV Channels on either side of the ocean and it was such a huge success she was now a big sought-after star. The Lead Singer of the Citizens studied the beautiful blonde interviewing him, since his band hit superstar status bedding women had not been a problem for any of them and he had only agreed to do this because he was obsessed with her.‘Well, Julian, thank you for coming on my show and being so candid.’She gave him her ‘professional’ smile. For the past ten minutes, all he had done was rake his eyes over her body and lick his lips hungrily. He could not have been more obvious if he had tried.‘It’s been my absolute pleasure Darling, and I know your viewers would like me to end it by inviting you to our show this weekend, as my special guest of course.’He stood up to go and join his band a
She stuttered angrily and Alcina lost her temper,‘Dio ha lasciato questa Casa anni fa, il male vive qui e voi siete la personificazione del Diavolo. Ero un bambino qui e tu hai reso la mia vita un inferno, ora fai le valigie e vattene.’ [God left this House years ago, evil lives here and you are the personification of the Devil. I was a child here and you made my life hell, now get your things packed and get out.]‘Dove andremo, siamo un povero ordine di suore.’ [Where will we go, we are a poor order of Nuns.]She tried to wheedle her way out of the problem but she got no help from Alcina who snarled back,‘Potete marcire per le strade per quanto mi importa, ma potreste dire alla vostra chiesa che sporgerò denuncia per abusi su minori, rapimenti, traffico di esseri umani e vendita di minori a scopo sessuale, e questo è solo l'inizio.’ [You can rot on the streets for all I care but you may tell your church I will be pressing charges of child abuse, kidnap, people trafficking, and sell
He jumped out and followed her quickly as she strode up to the main door and opened it walking inside its cool interior,‘Posso aiutarla, signore, signora?’ [Can I help you Sir, Madam?]The little Novice Nun glided over to stand in front of them deferring to the man as usual and Alcina snapped.‘La Madre Superiora e sii veloce.’ [The Mother Superior and be quick about it.]‘Era ancora qui.’ [She was still here.]Alcina realised glaring at the tiny fragile woman who walked slowly towards her using a walking frame, she should have felt hatred but the woman was so old she felt nothing.‘Posso aiutarti giovane signora.’ [Can I help you young Lady?]Her voice was surprisingly strong and familiar,‘Ti prendi ancora cura dei bambini qui?’ [Do you still care for children here?]Alcina asked her keeping her voice low, Anton raised his eyebrow but said nothing,‘Oh caro, abbiamo un altro figlio mafioso bastardo indesiderato?’ [Oh dear, do we have another unwanted bastard Mafia child?]The elder
She snapped at him hands on hips, eyes flashing with temper,‘Posso e lo farò, tu sei mia adesso e farò di tutto per proteggerti. Come mia moglie, mi obbedirai senza fare domande, e come il Gran Don della nostra "famiglia" unita devi obbedire anche a me. Mi spiego chiaramente?' [I can and I will, you are mine now and I will do everything to protect you. As my wife you will obey me without question, and as the Grand Don of our joint ‘family’ you must also obey me. Do I make myself clear?]She met his angry gaze defiantly lifting her chin just as angry as he was,‘Non siamo ancora sposati, Ricardo, e se provi a impedirmi di farlo, non lo saremo mai.’ [We are not married yet Ricardo and if you try to stop me from doing this we never will be.]She turned and walked out of his office, he was about to go after her when his phone rang and he automatically picked it up and answered it. He did not see Alcina walk out the main door and head for the garage a few minutes later,‘Dove stai andando
Already going through their due process was the many changes her becoming such a prominent Don had caused, they had to change the rules of accession, now if a Don only had daughters, the eldest daughter could take the possession if she so desired. Women were allowed to work now too, thanks to her giving many of her guards wives jobs in her offices. She had shown what a waste of talent it was to force them to stay home and look after children who soon outgrew their need for Mommy to do everything for them. Women played a more hands-on involved role within their ‘families’ now and the Leaders had discovered it saved them a fortune as it cost them a lot less to pay Mafia women than it did to outsource jobs to agencies. Very reluctantly the Italian mafia was following in the footsteps of other enlightened organisations who saw the value in treating its female population the same as its male.Ricci knew his wife-to-be was a strong, fiercely independent woman with a healthy temper, she was
She giggled then pulled out her tongue to him and fled into the bathroom turning on the shower she stepped under it gasping as he caught her and lifted her pinning her against the shower wall he took her again,‘Non ne ho mai abbastanza di te, mia sexy che presto sarà moglie.’ [I can never have enough of you my sexy soon to be wife.]He whispered into her ear before biting the lobe and making her shiver with pleasure,‘Se mai tirerai fuori di nuovo quella piccola lingua rosa contro di me, piccolo moccioso, ti sculaccerò il bel culo così forte che non ti siederai per una settimana.’ [If you ever pull that little pink tongue out at me again you little brat I will spank your pretty ass so hard you won’t sit down for a week.]He ground into her his hips pistoning as he watched his cock burying itself in her eager pussy. It was a beautiful sight and one he would never tire of, she was so fucking sexy and always ready for him, he grinned as he set her back on her feet and she wrapped her ar
‘Dove si trova?’ [Where is she?]He demanded of the crew and they hid their smiles but refused to tell him turning their backs and carrying on with their work,‘Vieni qui Alcina o sarà peggio per te quando ti prenderò.’ [Come here Alcina or it will be the worse for you when I catch you.]He said in a loud voice, there were not a lot of hiding places on the yacht but she was small and wiry and would fit into places he could not.‘Non starai seduta per una settimana Bella.’ [You won’t be sitting down for a week Bella.]He hissed through clenched teeth not caring that the crew knew what he was alluding to, he hated it when she got the better of him and narrowing his eyes he looked around him searching carefully. She had to be here somewhere he had been only seconds behind her then he spotted her hiding place and smiled,‘Ragazza intelligente.’ [Clever girl.]Alcina knew he had discovered the bin she was hiding in but still jumped when he slammed open the lid and hauled her out standing h
Her words were garbled as the volcano erupted and she screamed his name her body convulsing with pleasure, the muscles in her walls clenched him so tightly he was drained of every drop when he shot his seed. He looked into her eyes and said softly,‘Il marinaio è vivo e starà bene.’ [The sailor is alive and he is going to be alright.]She burst into noisy tears of relief and he hugged her close until the storm had passed,‘Avrei dovuto farlo quando siamo saliti a bordo.’ [I should have done this when we boarded.]He told her and sitting up he pulled her onto his lap and explained the rules of the yacht to her. Well he tried to, halfway through his explanations he noticed she had fallen asleep again and he smiled then gently curled against her and within minutes they were both deeply asleep.They cruised the Mediterranean for a month and they saw a lot of the huge double beds that faced the sea. He could not get enough of her and she responded in kind, all it took was a look or a touch
Pushing herself to her feet and would have gone straight in after him but another pair of powerful hands restrained her,‘No, fermati, lo yacht sta rallentando e girando, lo prenderemo noi non metterti più in pericolo piccola Bella.' [No, stop, the yacht is slowing and turning, we will pick him do not put yourself in any more danger little Bella.’The Captain held her tightly against him but she struggled to get free,‘Mi dispiace tanto, per favore, fammi entrare dopo di lui, sono un buon nuotatore, per favore è colpa mia.’ [ I’m so sorry, please, let me go in after him I’m a good swimmer, please it’s my fault.]Alcina was horrified by what had happened, this was all down to her,‘Quando avrebbe imparato a rallentare e ad ascoltare le persone?’ [When would she learn to slow down and listen to people?]She thought miserably going limp in the Captain's arms and letting her head rest against his chest absently letting his warmth seep into her as she shivered with the shock,‘Ha un odore
The Captain shook Ricardo’s hand and then took Alcina’s kissing her palm and making her blush further with his formality. For his part the Captain was completely taken with the stunning beauty in front of him, Giovanni had brought many women onto the yacht, all of them pretty. They had all been devoid of personality, vacuous women who allowed rich men to bed them in return for the status it gave them. Alcina could not have been more different, she was a natural beauty and her eyes reflected her soul. He led them on board and she stuck close to Ricci overcome with emotions she had never dealt with before, opening the door to the luxurious main suite the Captain said,‘Ha bisogno di qualcos'altro, signore, signora?’ [Do you require anything else Sir, Madam?]He asked and they both turned as Alcina walked into the room and gasped,‘"Oh mio Dio! È vero?' [Oh My God! Is this for real?]She spun in a circle her arms out wide and her skirt flying up to her waist giving the two men a glimpse
