Lifting her head imperiously she descended the stairs like a queen, Romero waited for her at the bottom and there was an audible gasp when she met his eyes then walked passed him taking the hand of her number two, Gino. It was clearly a snub but he hid his anger behind a blank expression she would not be able to avoid him all night but she tried very hard to do exactly that, he watched as she danced with every Don who asked her to moving lightly on her feet around the dancefloor. One or two of the older ones risked the wrath of their wives by dancing with her but most of them sent their sons to try and capture her attention. She was a prize worth winning even with the threats from the Council hanging over her head and they all tried it on, used to getting their own way with the women they encountered they were stunned when she rebuked every one of them.
Except for Romero, there was nothing she could do when he strode across the dancefloor and tugged her from the arms of one of the young men,
‘Credo nella mia danza.’ [My dance I believe.]
He growled at the guy who was only a year younger than him but who backed away instantly terrified on the young Grand Don, releasing his hold on Juliette and he tugged against his hard chest,
‘Mi hai evitato.’ [You have been avoiding me.]
He hissed into her ear as he waltzed her around expertly his grip so tight she had no chance of breaking free,
‘Te ne sei accorto, eppure eccoti qui.’ [You noticed yet here you are.]
She hissed back sarcastically,
‘Proprio come sapevi che sarei stato.’ [Just as you knew I would be.]
He pressed her against him and she could feel his hard length as desire sparked through her very soul,
‘Puoi scappare, ma non puoi nascondere la mia piccola tigre.’ [You can run but you cannot hide my little tigress.]
Bending his head her brushed his lips over hers feeling her body shiver with need and a soft moan escaped, with a tug he led her through the dancers and out into the garden. Once he had her away from the crowds he pinned her againt the wall and kissed her thoroughly nipping her bottom lip so that she gave him entry into her mouth. Juliette knew she was lost his kiss sent electric shocks straight to her core as he possessed her totally and when he lifted his head to look into her eyes she swayed against him,
‘Romero,’
She whispered as his lips burned a trail down her neck,
‘Per prima cosa devo tirarti fuori di qui, piccola tigre, perché stanno progettando di portarti fuori ma non glielo permetterò, verrai con me e quando ti riporterò nella mia villa ti scoperò finché nessuno di noi due potrà muoversi.' [First I need to get you out of here little tigress because they are planning to take you out but I will not let them, you are coming with me and when I get you back to my villa I am going to fuck you until neither of us can move.]
He pulled her away from the wall and deeper into the garden,
Capo?’ [Boss?]
Luigi was waiting in the shadows and they followed him out of the Mafia stronghold and into the waiting SUV that sped off the minute the doors were slammed shut. They were taken to a small field belonging to a local farmer who had happily accepted their pay off to allow Romero's helicopter to land there, its blades were already rotating lazily as they ducked under the draft and he lifted her inside. It took off as soon as he had locked their seatbelts and he held her hand as it swooped away heading back to their island landing just over and hour later on the grass in front of his villa. Romero lost no time, turning he helped her down then swung her onto his shoulder making her squeal in shock.
‘Mettimi giù, mettimi giù, Neanderthal.’ [Put me down, put me down you Neanderthal.]
She slapped his back ineffectively as he took the stairs two at a time and kicked the door closed behind him leaning back against it he let her slide down his body until her feet touched the floor and then he kissed her possessively. Breaking the kiss briefly he stared into her eyes and she saw the desire burning in his,
‘Miniera.’ [Mine.]
He said pulling her tightly against him and kissing her again his hands sliding up her body to tug the laces holding the basque tightly to her body, his sure fingers made short work of loosening it until it slid down over her hips to fall in a shimmering heap. With practised ease he manuovered her backwards stripping out of his own clothes as he did so,
‘Dio, ti voglio così tanto.’ [God I want you so much.]
He was kissing her neck and shoulders feverishly his need of her very evident as he kicked off his boxers and lifted her onto the bed his eyes gleaming as they raked over her almost naked body,
‘Penso che possiamo farne a meno‘ [I think we can dispense with these.]
He grinned tugging her lacy g-string down her legs then pushing her knees apart,
‘Scusa tesoro, ma ho bisogno di averti adesso, prometto di farti del bene, ma se non entro dentro di te in questo momento sto per esplodere.’ [Sorry baby but I need to have you right now, I promise to make it good for you but if I don’t get inside you this minute I am going to explode.]
With one hard thrust he was buried to his root deep inside her making her gasp and arch up digging her nails into his biceps as he gripped her hips and pounded hard. He was rough and demanding digging his fingers into her flesh to ram deeper hitting her sweet spot hard and Juliette met every thrust her own body quickly responding to his need. He bent his head and licked down her neck and up to the peak of her breast catching her hard little nub between his teeth he bit it sending shocks to her core as he eased the pain by sucking it and latheing it with his tongue.
DisclaimerThis book is a modern version of the Classic Romeo and Juliet love story and it is therefore set for the most part in Sicily and Italy. The two families involved are Mafia families so some of the script is written in Italian with the English translation in brackets. It does not distract from the story, if you cannot read Italian, read the English! Enjoy!!'Alessandro, fermati, per favore devo riposare.' [Alessandro, stop, please I must rest.]The young woman fell to her knees clutching her swollen stomach her face grey as another pain racked her small, slender body,‘Un po' più avanti Gabriella, vieni per favore solo un po' più in là, dobbiamo andare un po' più in là c'è un posto…’ [A little further Gabriella, come please just a little further, we must go a little further there is a place …]The young man’s handsome face was creased with worry and fear as he tried to get his pretty wife to stand and move on, he could hear their enemies already getting far to close but the
She knew the outcome of this story, it had happened so many times before over the many years she had been at this little cottage and while these stupid feuds between the Mafia Families existed it would happen again in the future. She looked down at the beautiful baby boy and was surprised to see him watching her solemnly with his milky blue eyes as if he knew what his life held for him and he was not afraid. She crossed herself and shook her head,‘Caro Dio, mi sto spaventando un neonato, che ridicolo’ [Dear God, I am getting spooked by a new born, how ridiculous] This little boy was special because she had cared for his father in the same way, Alessandro had always been her favourite, a sunny child with a ready smile who won the hearts of all who met him. He rarely cried and as long as she spoke to him he would smile up at her adoringly and when
Don Santini, abbiamo un regalo per te.’ [ Don Santini, we have a gift for you.’The pretty teenage girl was thrown to the floor in front of the Don, she kept her head down staring at the floor, The Don barely glanced at her then snapped,‘Da dove l'hai preso?’ [Where did you take this one from?’’‘E' l'unica figlia femmina di Marconi, Don Santini.’ [She is the only daughter of Marconi, Don Santini.]Now the Don looked at the young girl, standing he grabbed her thick golden hair and pulled her to her feet, she was beautiful. Her deep blue eyes regarded him with hate, her figure was perfect just ripening into full womanhood and desire pooled in his groin,‘Uscite, tutti voi.’ [Get out, all of you.]The men left instantly knowing better than to disobey and when the door closed he turned to her,‘La tua età ragazza.’ [Your age girl?]He demanded and she snapped back,‘Diciannove’ [Nineteen]Don Santini was in his late thirties, very good looking, tall and athletic, he kept himself fit an
The baby’s mother said that she was screaming to be fed when the little boy quieted the baby after she had woken them all up in the early hours. The two women had tried everything to calm the raging baby but all it had taken was a gentle stroke of his small hand and the soft words from his lips and the baby had fallen into a deep peaceful sleep. He had smiled up at her Mama and said confidently,‘No, non un angelo, ma io sono il suo protettore e lo sarò sempre’ [No not an angel but I am her protector and I always will be]The elderly woman had crossed herself at the matter-of-fact way the little boy had spoken somehow, deep in her heart, she knew the lives of these two tragic infants were inexplicably joined forever. As the weeks passed the little boy grew closer to the baby girl spending all his spare time near her, chatting away as if she could reply and anyone watching would have seen the little girl follow him with her eyes keeping him in view at all times.
Romero never forgot the beautiful little girl with the unusual cat's eyes, he remembered his Nonna had told him that her eyes were very special because newborns should have blue eyes. Juliette’s eyes were a deep emerald green mixed with molten gold, it had spooked his Nonna when she first saw them and she had gone to the nearby little church to say a rosary. She had brought back the local Priest and he blessed the baby and sprinkled her with Holy Water as he prayed fervently. It had made Romero laugh because she had screamed her outrage at having the cold water thrown over her waving her tiny fists in anger at the Priest it had taken all his young patience to calm her and rock her back to sleep. He had noticed the look in the Priest's eyes as he did so, he hated the black-clad ‘Fathers’ and he glared back boldly,‘Sei un ragazzo insolente, prima arrivi alla grande scuola meglio è. Non permettiamo tale comportamento e sarà mio piacere batterlo fuori da te ragazzo’ [You are an insolent
‘Nonna, tu chiedi a molto’ [Nonna, you ask to much]They sat on either side of her holding her frail hands,‘Egli è vostra sorella Figlio, è vostro dovere ora. Voi siete i suoi zii.’ [He is your Sister’s Son, it is your duty now. You are his Uncles]She lay back exhausted and the two men stayed close talking to her gently, it was clear her time was near at almost ninety-six she had lived a long productive life caring for all their children at some stage in their lives. They told her how much they loved her, she was their Grandmother too and they remembered many happy times visiting her as children, she was never happier than when her little cottage was full of happy hungry children and they adored her and the cakes and biscuits she made for them. She had summoned them when her Doctor had told her the cancer was aggressive and there was nothing more anyone could do. She knew Romero was going to be unhappy she had not had the time to tell him of his family she had not expected to leave
Romero’s childhood came to an end that day as the car sped through the streets to the harbour boarding the ferry to take them to the mainland. He fell asleep as they journeyed through Italy to the coastal town of Salerno and the huge Villa perched on the cliff overlooking the sea. It was the early hours of the morning when Miguel picked up the sleeping boy and carried him inside. He carried him up the sweeping staircase and into a large bedroom placing him gently on the bed removing his shoes and covering him up. Striding out of the room he turned to the Guard,‘Guardatelo, quando si sveglia portatelo in ufficio.’ [Watch him, when he wakes bring him to the office.]The sun shining through the windows woke the sleeping boy and he blinked and then turned away from its brightness, yawning widely he stretched and sat up. Looking around him he saw a large airy room decorated in the palest blues and greys, noticing the bathroom he headed inside to relieve himself. He felt grubby from sleep
The first few days had been such an adventure the two of them had hidden in barns and outhouses, stealing food whenever they could, it was exciting and exhilarating as they kept one step ahead of their families. It was summer and the days were warm and golden, it was easy to find food the farmer's wives felt sorry for the beautiful young couple who knocked on their doors begging for scraps. They would bring them into their kitchens and feed them a nourishing meal or give them bread and cheese to take with them. Sleeping under the starlit sky and making love whenever they wanted it was a magical time for the young couple.Both of their Fathers had been enraged and blamed the other and it almost started a full-scale war between the families it was Nonna who stopped them. She called both Fathers to her cottage and raged at them telling them they were to blame for their pigheadedness and could they not see it was they who had pushed the young couple together. If they just backed off and i
Lifting her head imperiously she descended the stairs like a queen, Romero waited for her at the bottom and there was an audible gasp when she met his eyes then walked passed him taking the hand of her number two, Gino. It was clearly a snub but he hid his anger behind a blank expression she would not be able to avoid him all night but she tried very hard to do exactly that, he watched as she danced with every Don who asked her to moving lightly on her feet around the dancefloor.

For the next twenty four hours she slept letting her body recover from her ordeal, she was badly bruised and her back and shoulders were painful but she would heal none of her injuries was life threatening. When she ventured down to the kitchen the farmers wife gave her a huge breakfast that she devoured hungrily. She wanted to know how long Juliette would be staying for and the young woman told her it would be just for a few days until her boyfriend joined her. They were so trusting and Juliette hated to abuse that trust but she had no choice as she had no money to pay them until she could access her bank account.That night she made sure everything in the room was neat and tidy then left them a note she had written on the kitchen table before slipping away using an old bicycle she found propped against the farmhouse wall. Some how, more by luck than design, she found herself on the main road into the city and even managed to find a telephone box so she could call her men. Romero had
The Council Members huffed at him shaking their heads,‘Non essere ridicolo, Don Romero, grazie per averci portato il marmocchio, ma ora puoi tornare alla tua villa e noi ci occuperemo di lei.’ [Don’t be ridiculous Don Romero, thank you for bringing the little brat to us but you may return to your villa now and we will deal with her.]He could only watch helplessly as the Council Guards turned and pointed their guns at his men. They were outnumbered, as many of the Dons had brought their own guards to add to the Council's numbers. It had not occurred to him that this would happen, and he would not risk his men's lives in a pointless shootout. For now, he would retreat to a nearby hotel and send for reinforcements. When the guards had dragged her down into the dungeons they were quick to strip her out of the designer suit and shoes, she did not fight them as she was cuffed to a wall her feet barely able to touch the floor.‘Non sei così intelligente ora, puttana?’ [Not so clever now
[Pensi che io possa romperti la spalla? Ma signore, sicuramente sarebbe impossibile per me, non è vero? Sono solo una povera bambina che non può fare altro che allargare le gambe per un uomo.’ [You think I can break your shoulder? But Sir, surely that would be impossible for me, wouldn’t it? I am just a poor little girl not fit to do anything but spread my legs for a man.]Her voice was sickly sweet and very girly then with a flick of her wrist there was a loud snap and Romero held his head in his hands when the Leader let out an agonised scream and fainted. Juliette sighed theatrically as she dropped him to the floor and with a look of utter distaste on her face she crouched down and wiped her hands on his jacket then reached inside for his gun. Pushing herself to her feet in a graceful feline motion she turned to the Dons and their wives and said in a low threatening voice,‘Uscite, tutti voi. ORA!! Fuori.’ [Get out, all of you. NOW!! Get Out!!]She yelled at them pointing the gun a
She glared at him then without another word tugged her hand free and he could only watch with pride as she lifted her beautiful head and strode purposely into the centre of the ballroom.‘La sua bella piccola tigre era magnifica ‘ [His beautiful little tigress was magnificent.]He thought as he went to stand beside her and they did look stunning, such an incredibly beautiful couple that every head turned to look at them and silence fell. Romero put his arm around her waist and pulled her tight to his side, whatever they said his men were ready, the Council would not get their hands on his Juliette.The Leader of the Council stood up and banged down his gavel onto the marble table top sending the noise echoing around the ballroom, instantly the quiet whispering that had started when they walked in stopped.‘Signori, sapete tutti perché siamo qui. Il Consiglio aveva deliberato le azioni di una delle nostre "Famiglie". Abbiamo esaminato ogni aspetto di queste azioni per vedere se qualcun
He slapped her ass hard and she whirled around to slap him back but he had already left her to go and get ready himself, she was seething but had little choice when the Council called you obeyed. When she walked down the stairs an hour later even his Uncles whistled, she looked amazing, Her beautiful hair cascaded around her like a fiery cloak, and she wore the stunning glittery emerald green Chanel pantsuit that clung to her slender body as she moved. Her minimal make-up brought out the green and gold in her stunning eyes feline eyes and kissable plump lips and it was all set off by six-inch killer black patent Jimmy Choo heels.‘Non farai prigionieri stanotte, mia piccola tigre.’ [You are taking no prisoners tonight my little tigress.]He said pulling her into his arms and kissing her possessively while his men watched enviously, she may have been the daughter of that madman but every last one of them would taken her right there and then given the chance. She did not kiss him back i
‘Non ho scelta piccola, mi dispiace.' [I have no choice baby, I’m sorry.]He said softly but she looked away letting his guards take her to the room he knew it was going to take him a long time to win her trust back again. Juliette paced the room they had locked her in cursing the Council for their sexist treatment of her. Romero left her alone for the next few days knowing she would be angry with him for obeying the Council and not listening to her, when he finally went to see her she cut him dead, ‘I’m going crazy stuck in this room day after day Romero, can’t you see its what they want? You are letting them dictate to you, and I have had enough.’She was right, and he knew it the Council had deliberately took their time to come to their conclusions as a way of provoking a reaction from her and also from him.‘I will send them a message, tell them they must give their decision tomorrow or I am setting you free.’ He sent Luigi, who he had promnoted to his second, with the message
‘È una Santini, non c'è bisogno di un'altra ragione. È carina, posso capire perché la vuoi, scommetto che conosce tutti i trucchi per tenerti interessato. La scoperei io stesso, ma non è adatta a essere tua moglie. Lasciale allargare le gambe, è tutto ciò per cui una puttana Santini è adatta’ [She is a Santini, there need be no other reason. She is pretty, I can see why you want her, I bet she knows all the tricks to keep you interested. I would fuck her myself but she is not fit to be your wife. Let her spread her legs it’s all a Santini whore is fit for.]This time before Romero could answer a blur of red/gold flashed passed him as Juliette faced Angelo down her emerald eyes flashing with rage,‘Vuoi vedere com'è un fottuto Santini quando lo fai arrabbiare stronzo?’ [You want to see what a fucking Santini is like when you make them anger asshole?]He sneered down at her, she was tiny compared to him but he could not help reacting to her intoxicating beauty,‘Cosa hai intenzione di
She screamed at him pounding his back with her fists but that only earned her more slaps,‘Ti suggerisco di fermarti e fare come ti viene detto Juliette, il tuo comportamento da monello non sarà più tollerato nei confronti delle mie guardie. D'ora in poi hanno tutti il permesso di Romero di portarti nella tua stanza in questo modo.’ [I suggest you stop and do as you are told Juliette, your bratty behaviour will no longer be tolerated toward my guards. From now on they all have Romero’s permission to remove you to your room in this way.]He carried her through the villa slapping her ass hard until she went limp and then he dropped her onto the bed,‘Ti odio.’ [I hate you.]She sobbed glaring at him and he smirked,‘L'hai chiesto Brat, sei fortunato a non essere nei sotterranei perché è ciò che il tuo comportamento e la tua linea di sangue meritano.’ [You asked for it Brat, you are lucky not to be in the dungeons because that is what your behaviour and your bloodline deserve.]She glare
