S.I.X: The Mafia's Kryptonite 13
SixI would have been impressed if I weren’t terrified for her life.She walked in wearing nothing but a long silk nightdress with a thin robe draped carelessly over her shoulders, her damp hair twisted up in a towel like she’d just stepped from the shower.Marco had explicitly ordered her to dress up, and she had done the exact opposite, deliberately, defiantly.She had kept him waiting, all these dangerous men waiting, and then sauntered in wearing what amounted to lingerie.The men around the table exchanged knowing smirks. Marco’s face darkened with a rage I could feel radiating across the room.“Arabella!” he roared, shooting to his feet, his chair scraping violently against the floor.“Yes, Marco.”Her voice was cool water over hot stones, steady, unruffled, as if completely blind to the murderous fury in his eyes or the pack of predators around her, salivating, just waiting for his signal to tear her apart.“Do you have a death wish, Arabella?” His voice dropped to something mo

SixI stepped outside, the cool evening air brushing against my skin as I walked toward the pool.The soft glow of the underwater lights illuminated the water, casting rippling reflections onto the stone deck. And then I saw her.Arabella.She moved through the water with hypnotic grace, her body slicing through it like a siren born to the sea.The tiny red latex bikini she wore clung to her every curve, not just accentuating but celebrating each perfect dip and line of her frame.It was sinfully bold, molding to her like a jealous lover, making her breasts look fuller, her wet skin gleaming like polished marble under the shimmering lights.I clenched my jaw until it ached, loathing the instant traitorous response of my body.The urgent stiffness pressing against my pants mocked me, a humiliating reminder of how utterly powerless I was in her presence.I had assumed, hoped, that after everything, after the time she spent avoiding me, after the distance she had put between us, after th

ArabellaHeat flooded my cheeks, burning like wildfire as my hands flew instinctively to cover my chest. Shame and something else; something I refused to name, coiled in my stomach.Six stared at me, his eyes dancing with undisguised amusement, lips curled into that infuriating smirk that made my pulse quicken against my will.“You are a crass man, Six,” I said, trying to inject venom into my voice, but hearing the breathless quality instead.He shrugged with an easy confidence that both infuriated and captivated me. “You did seem to like my crassness that night...” His voice dropped lower, the words wrapping around me like velvet.I bit down hard on my lower lip, tasting the metallic hint of blood as I fought the blush threatening to consume me.I averted my gaze, unable to bear the knowing look in his eyes; the look that said he could see right through my pretenses.“How long are you going to stay in the water?” he asked.The truth was, I hadn’t thought that far ahead. The water was

ArabellaI exhaled as we got out of the cars lined up in the parking lot. My heart hammered in my chest just like it always did whenever I was around Marco. There were at least seven more men carrying heavy weapons.I had never walked in the company of men like this, but as the capo’s bride-to-be, I had to. Now, there was a target on my back.I bowed my head as we walked toward the high-end store. A large glass window displayed timeless designs. The old me would have been thrilled to go shopping, especially in an expensive place like this.My back turned rigid when he put his hand on me again, sliding over the curve of my hip, fingers pressing in as though he was making sure I understood who I belonged to.The gesture was subtle, meant for me alone, but I felt Francesco watching. He was the closest to Marco, always at his ear, cheering him on.The amusement in his eyes made my skin crawl with disgust. He was repulsive. There was something in the way he looked at us, like he got off on

SixI followed behind Arabella, watching as she aimlessly tossed clothes into the cart. She wasn’t even paying attention to what she was grabbing; half the things she picked up weren’t her size.The way her fingers fumbled over the fabric, how she moved in jerky, uncertain motions, it was obvious she wasn’t here, not really.Her steps were uneven, her breath just a little too quick. She was nervous. Her mind was elsewhere. Clearly, something was bothering her, and I didn’t know what it was.We turned down another aisle, and something caught my eye. A smirk played at my lips as I reached for a small box. I turned to her, holding it out casually.“You’re going to be needing that,” I said, my voice low with amusement.Her entire body froze. I watched as her wide eyes flicked to the box in my hand, then back to me.Her skin flushed instantly, a deep, unmistakable pink blooming across her cheeks.I held her gaze for a moment before dropping the item into the cart. My smirk widened as she s

ArabellaI groaned out loud as I tossed from side to side on my bed. My eyelids fluttered open, and I let out a sigh of frustration. It was yet another morning. This wasn’t the bed I woke up on - my bed was a large queen size, and the sheets were comfy.The room was the perfect temperature, and yet I struggled with sleeping every night. There was a lot on my mind. Don Corleone. It had been weeks since the charity gala, and I was yet to hear a word from him.I pulled the duvet over me and sighed again. Admittedly, I hadn’t given it much thought when I had the idea. It was one of those ideas that dropped into my lap, and I decided to run with it. The mansion was gated and well-secured.I wasn’t allowed to leave at will. Marco said there were certain privileges that would come with time.I was basically a prisoner in a mansion. My old phones and laptops were taken from me, and the only devices I was allowed to use were controlled by Marco. I couldn’t get anything past him. So how was I s

ArabellaI exhaled as I stepped out of the shower, a towel wrapped around my chest and another on my head. Another day had passed, and I hadn’t fallen into Marco’s arms yet.I had escaped today, but I didn’t know how long I could continue to evade him.Not that I was doing much evading - he was the one taking his sweet time, teasing me. I sighed and tossed the towel from my head to the side.I was about to take off the towel around my chest when I heard that deep voice.“Hello, beautiful.”My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. “Oh my God!” I turned around quickly, and there he was - the man I had waited for all day.Six. He was leaning against the cupboard by the doorway. I couldn’t believe I had missed him in the first place.“What are you doing here?” My eyes widened in panic. “If Marco sees you here, he’s going to kill you.”He shrugged nonchalantly, his hand tucked in his pants pocket. His eyes traveled the length of my body, and I sucked in a deep breath.I watched him closely.

ArabellaMy cheeks burned in embarrassment at the realization that I might be jealous. What I felt for Six was not just mere attraction as I had thought.It wasn’t just sexual tension; it was strong enough to make me, a grown woman, burst into tears in the middle of a party because he was talking to another girl.Could it be my hormones? Or my period? Or my ovulation? What girly disaster was responsible for my new behavior?I walked away from them, putting as much distance as I could between us, but that didn’t stop me from stealing glances at them every now and then.I gulped down the last contents of my drink when a man walked up to me. He was carrying two champagne flutes.“Here’s one for the lady,” he said and offered me one.I smiled at him politely. “Thank you.”His smile took me aback for a moment; he looked really young. He didn’t look like any of the men here - he had the kindest eyes I had ever seen.He was gawking at me, and then he looked away. “It took me a moment to walk

SixThe moment I stepped into the mansion, I spotted Francesco lounging in the living room, a half-burnt cigarette between his fingers. The smoke curled toward the ornate ceiling, drifting like a threat.He looked up, his eyes trailing me as I moved toward the staircase.I didn’t stop.“Going to see Arabella?” he asked casually, though his voice carried a sharp edge.I paused on the first step, body half-turned.“She wasn’t feeling well yesterday.” Francesco took a slow drag, exhaling smoke. “She’s not to be disturbed today. Said so herself.”That stopped me fully.“She left a note with Maria,” he added, flicking ash into a crystal tray. “No one but the maid is allowed in. Food, drinks. That’s it. Capo okayed it, so…”My jaw clenched. Something was off. I wanted to argue, to press him for details, but Francesco wasn’t stupid.He’d know I’d smelled something wrong. So I only nodded once and turned away.He let out a short, amused exhale. “We’ve got a meeting. The Capo will be here any

ArabellaI blanked out so I wouldn’t feel.Not his pressing weight on me, or the sharp pain I felt at my hilt. His fingernails dug into my waistline, and I lay there helplessly. I couldn’t move. I didn’t move.Tears welled up in my eyes as I stared into space.And then, just like that, it was over.He stood, breathing heavily, his eyes raking over my body like he’d conquered something. Like this proved something. Like I was something to be claimed.He turned to look at me, his expression unreadable now, like the fire had burned out. “You should be grateful,” he said. “I didn’t hurt you.”I blinked back the tears and averted my gaze. I couldn’t look at him. Couldn’t stand to see what I’d once trusted become a stranger.Then he turned and walked out.And I broke.I don’t know how long I lay there. It might’ve been minutes. Hours. Maybe longer.Eventually, I dragged myself up and locked the door behind him. My hands were shaking. My body didn’t feel like mine anymore. My voice was gone, l

ArabellaI heard the footsteps before I saw him.I knew it was Marco before the door even creaked open. The way it dragged against the floor sent a chill through me. I could tell he was drunk from one look at him.He stumbled inside, not even bothering to close the door behind him. His eyes were wild, glassy and bloodshot, his shirt halfway unbuttoned, collar askew like he’d been tearing at it.“They came for me,” he muttered. “That day at the dress fitting, it was intentional…” His speech was slurred. “It was not a matter of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. It wa—premeditated. Those bloody bastards planned it!” he yelled.He staggered, almost losing his footing. “They think they can take me out. Me. Marco Falcone.” He laughed. It was a hollow sound, empty—just like the look in those dark eyes.I rose slowly from the chair by the window. “Marco…” My voice cracked. I was terrified to the bone, watching him in this state, not knowing what his next move would be.“They sent me

ArabellaI dabbed my eyes, blinking back the tears. “Oh, you’re so pathetic, Arabella,” I muttered under my breath. I fluffed the pillows on my bed for lack of anything better to do.My bedroom was tidied to perfection. I picked up a book from my bedside table and hopped into bed.I flicked through the pages, but I couldn’t bring myself to concentrate. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Actually, I do—I just don’t want to admit it.I slammed my book closed for the third time in ten minutes. It wasn’t even a real slam. Just enough for the pages to make a snapping sound.Katherine’s laugh still rang in my ears. Sweet, delicate, perfectly timed laughter. I’d heard it all morning—she was laughing at everything he said, like he was a comedian.I picked up the book again and stared at the same paragraph. Some nonsense about courage.I couldn’t focus because every time I tried, Katherine’s voice popped into my head, her touching his arm at every slight chance.I should have left. It was awkw

SixArabella sat across from me, her fork lazily twirling the last few strands of pasta on her plate. The sunlight filtered through the wide windows, casting a soft glow on her face. She looked…“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked, interrupting my musings.She was right; I was practically gawking at her. I mean, who wouldn’t? She was so freaking beautiful.I shrugged nonchalantly. “Nothing…”Her eyes narrowed at me. “Are you supposed to be here?” She peered around nervously. “If Marco was to…”“Marco is not around,” I cut in. “And I’m doing my job. My job is to protect you.”Her eyelids fluttered, and I was entranced once again. Long, full lashes, beautiful blue eyes, her lips red and rosy…I reached out and brushed a thumb against her cheek before I could stop myself.She swallowed nervously. “I don’t think this exactly counts as protecting…”I traced a finger across her lower lip. “Yes, yes it does…” My voice was a soft whisper.Before she could say anything, the door c

SixI left Arabella’s door without looking back. If I looked back, I’d stay. And I couldn’t afford that—not right now.I’d seen the way her eyes lit up when she opened the door. I saw the need in her eyes; I felt it in the way she gasped when I touched her.She couldn’t even meet my gaze, cheeks warm, fingers tugging at the edges of her robe. Cute. Dangerous.That damn robe. It barely covered anything, and it didn’t help that I had put to memory what she looked like underneath it.But I did what I came to do. Gave her the book. Told her to read it. Told her to come find me after.And then I walked away. I had to.I made it halfway down the hall when a figure stepped out from the corner. Federico.He was a tall, lanky man, wearing a black dress shirt and black pants. His hair was slicked back, making his face appear even broader.His eyes scanned me like I was something suspicious he’d found under his shoe.“Well, well,” he began, a wry smile on his face. “Who do we have here?”I stare

ArabellaThere was a knock at the door.Not loud. Just firm. Two taps. My heart stuttered. I already knew who it was.I don’t know how - I just felt it. Like my whole body recognized the sound before my brain caught up.I stood frozen in the middle of my room, hair still messy, wearing one of those oversized silk robes that felt more like Marco’s taste than mine. My fingers fidgeted with the tie at my waist. I opened the door slowly.And there he was. Six.Leaning against the frame like he had all the time in the world. His eyes dragged over my face like he was putting it to memory. There was no denying the admiration in his eyes.He was gawking at me like I was the most beautiful thing in the world right now—and not looking like a mess. Then there was the flicker of desire. I lowered my eyes, biting down on my lower lip.I couldn’t meet his eyes. God, I tried, but the moment I glanced up at him, all I could remember was the way his fingers had caressed me all over. His lips—oh, his l

ArabellaMarco’s arms were warm around me, but I couldn’t relax. My whole body was rigid. My heart hammered loudly in my chest.I tried not to think about it. I really did. But my mind wouldn’t stop playing that moment on loop—Six’s hand brushing my thigh, his mouth kissing me all over, and later… the way he’d slipped my underwear into his pocket like it belonged to him. Like I did. He said I was his.Heat rushed to my cheeks.Marco chuckled above me. “You don’t have to be shy around me, mi amore,” he said, lifting my chin with his finger. “You’re going to be my wife.”Wife.The word hit hard.I blinked up at him, confused. “What?”He just smiled like he hadn’t noticed the way my breath hitched. “You heard me, Arabella.”I didn’t know what to say. My throat felt tight. So I just nodded. It was easier that way. Pretend like I agreed. Pretend like everything was okay.Marco opened the door to my bedroom and carried me in. He dropped me gently to my feet when we got inside.I heard soft

SixI asked her to stop. She was wearing white lacy underwear with a bow in front. I was gawking at her.There was something about her in those lacy panties that did my head in. I stared at her flat belly, then at her full, long legs.I exhaled. This woman would be the death of me. I touched her crotch area, tracing a path down to the wet spot between her legs.“Nice choice of undies,” I remarked.She smiled, but I didn’t miss the look that crossed her face.“Let me guess, Marco’s choice?” I asked in a strained voice.She nodded, looking at me with wide eyes, like a deer caught in headlights. “Do you ever think of him?” I asked.She shook her head vigorously. “No. His touch repulses me…”I touched her again down there, gently. “And mine?”Of course I was jealous. It was torture to watch them together. I needed to be sure. I needed reassurance.She sucked in a deep breath and shook her head. “I like it when you touch me,” she whispered.I crouched in front of her and pulled down her pa
