OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 17 - Emilia
“You know, you should probably get up and go do some mob business instead of laying here wasting time with me,” I peer up at Kaius as I say this. We’re naked in my bed, having spent the entire day here. I’m laying in his arms with my head on his chest, my leg swung over his, and his arm around my neck as he holds me. Things he revealed to me in the last few hours have left me a fragile mess, but I won’t show it to him.I need to break in private before I can.“Hmm, but I like wasting time with you,” he says, his rough timbre thrumming in his chest and he smiles. “It’s so much more fun being buried deep inside of you than it is torturing someone.”“Oh, I haven’t tortured someone in a long time, I might beg to differ,” I say with a wink. “But seriously, you should probably get back to business. I know you have things to take care of.”His smile fades a little, so I know I’ve hit the nail right on the head. Sighing, he pulls me closer and kisses the side of my head. “You need to stop be
OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 18 - Dual POV
EmiliaA pair of arms wrap around my middle and a soft kiss is placed on my neck. I open my eyes, still groggy from sleep, and groan when I’m swept up into a hard, chiseled chest. “Hmm, what are you doing?” I ask, closing my eyes again and snuggling into his chest. The scent of his gorgeous smoky cologne makes me smile and I breathe out a sigh.“Bringing you to where you belong, Angel; in my bed,” he says before planting a kiss on top of my head. God, this man will make me fall in love with him.I don’t open my eyes because I want to feel the full effect of actually opening them in his bed and seeing what expression he makes. It sounds absolutely silly, but the thought makes my stomach do little flips.Soft silk sheets caress my skin and the bed dips next to me under Kaius’ weight. It’s only then that I open my eyes and smile at the look on his face. He covers us both, then wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me close to him.“Hey, babygirl; sorry I kept you waiting,” he says, p
OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 19 - Emilia
I’ve done nothing the entire day but loaf around in Kaius’ bed with a smile on my face. God, I’m feeling like a teenager in love right now; everything feels so perfect when I’m with him. I’m almost too scared to blink, so I pinch myself just to make sure I’m not dreaming. I turn on my belly and bury my face into his pillow, inhaling the scent of the man I know I'm falling so hard for already. He gets me more than anyone has before and fuck if he doesn't reign me in when I sass him. It feels good to know I don't have to pretend when I am with him. Breathing out a sigh, I finally get out of his bed and saunter into his large walk-in closet. After our shower together, I threw on one of his t-shirts and love the way the clean material faintly smells of his cologne. I run my hands over his hanging shirts, a small smile tugging at the corner of my lips. Everything he owns is either black or gray, with the exception of the five white shirts hanging by his suits. Ties, cufflinks, combat bo
OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 20 - Kaius
Everything went according to plan before Ivan leapt out of nowhere and fired a shot at the Commissioner. Luckily I had seen him pulling out the weapon in time and gauged what he would try to do. Kill the biggest player in law enforcement and say it was an order from me. All this time I had it wrong; he wasn’t working for the fucking police. As I ran for cover after getting the Commissioner to safety, I slowly started putting things together. But when I ordered my men to take me home, everything became hazy. It was only when the elevator doors opened that I passed out. As I drifted back to consciousness, the world around me came into focus through the haze of pain and confusion. The first sound that registered was the incessant beeping of a monitor, its rhythm a loud echo in my head. Blinking against the dim light of the room, I groan and try to sit up, only to hear a voice echoing and I turn my head. An image comes into focus and I see Emilia’s tearful gaze upon me, her beautiful b
OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 21 - Emilia
As the night approached, a sense of anticipation and dread weighed heavily on me. The intel Alexius received had confirmed Ivan’s impending attack on the penthouse. The shadows of my past loomed large, threatening to engulf me as memories of my life as my brother's enforcer resurfaced.Amaretto Vittori used to be a feared name. Being a woman never hindered me, in fact, it made me feel stronger because no one expects a woman to win a face-off with three men. I wanted to prove myself so badly back then, wanted to show them I am no mafia princess ready to be subservient to a man or marriage.How the times have changed. Now that’s all I want with the man laying in the bedroom waiting for me.I stand by the window, gazing out at the city below, trying to steady my nerves. The lights from the skyscrapers glitter like stars, but in my heart, anxiety threatens to suffocate me. I had spent years following orders, committing acts of violence, and shutting out emotions. It had been a life define
OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 22 - Emilia
“They’re close to the parking garage; if you want to give them the element of surprise now is a good fucking time,” Kaius’ voice comes through my earpiece just as I get to the elevator, and Alexius nods silently.“Ready to dance, Emilia?” he asks as we get inside and I chuckle.“I was born covered in someone else’s blood and will leave this world covered in it as well,” I say, recalling how my mother said I literally tore her in two when she gave birth to me. Alexius chuckles and shakes his head. “Fuck, you’re the perfect woman for him,” he murmurs and the elevator doors open without a sound.The parking garage is dimly lit, its concrete walls casting long shadows that danced in the flickering overhead lights. Kaius' other men are here, sounding off their positions through the earpiece and setting me at ease. The tension in the air was palpable as Alexius and I positioned ourselves behind a row of expensive cars, preparing to face off against Ivan and his bunch of fuckers.I pull out
OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 23 - Kaius
The intel Alexius sent through to me when Emilia was getting ready, put everything into perspective. I now know why Ivan got close to me, and it’s not just because he’s working for someone else.He’s a disgraced Bratva heir who altered his appearance, and his sister just so happens to be a woman who cared too much for me…. Or rather, the woman who grew to have an obsession with me and what we never had.Now Emilia is heading up here, guns blazing, thinking I’ve lied to her about something. She’s going to be a wolf with a sore tooth when she comes in here, so I have to be honest about everything.I hear the faint ding of the elevator and breathe out a sigh when the clicking of her heels draws nearer. Removing the headset, I throw it to the side and close the laptop while bracing myself for a confrontation I didn’t want to even deal with.Not because I’m a coward, but because it’s not even anything Emilia needs to be worried about.The bedroom door opens and she saunters inside, strippi
OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 24 - Emilia
I help Kaius get into a pair of black boxers and sweatpants, while I get into a tank top and shorts. His hair is hanging loose in damp threads and the smell of his smoky cologne is tingling my lady bits just a little bit.This man is a wall of rippling muscle, and just looking at him feels like I’m staring at a work of art. The way he’s built wasn’t just honed by hours in a gym, he’s been in active combat and it shows by the scars littering his body.The tattoos on his tanned skin just add to the allure of the man who has just professed his feelings for me. I knew I was starting to fall in love with Kaius, but I never expected him to feel that way about me so soon.We’re in the early stages, so this feels immense right now. Not only is he in love with me, but he wants me to rule alongside him in the Brigăzi. He doesn’t just want me as a trophy wife, as normal mafia men do.He doesn’t realize it, but he’s just handed me the keys to the proverbial gilded cage mafia princesses are locked
