I woke up the morning because my stomach was rolling. I jumped from the bed and ran to the bathroom. Getting to the toilet just before everything came out. I heard the footsteps behind me and waved my arms behind me as my stomach lurched forward again. “No,” is all I could get out as I felt Max’s, I assumed, hands gathering my hair into a ponytail. He rubbed my back as I lurched forward yet again. This is not what I needed him seeing but I was sure he wasn’t leaving.
When I was finally sure that nothing more was coming out of me, I reached up and flushed the toilet. Max stood up and walked to the sink. I watched him turn the water on than grab a cloth, running it under the stream. I couldn’t tear my eyes from him. He wasn’t wearing a shirt and I noticed for the first time how much he had grown. He had more muscle than he did when he was younger. He really had become a man. He was no longer the boy that I knew so

Max I spun around as soon as I heard the sound. It wasn’t loud. To anyone not trained like me, they wouldn’t have even heard it let alone know that it was a silencer. I watched as Ivy dove to the ground. I pulled my gun and ran in her direction, firing shots at car the shots were coming from. The tires squealed as it fishtailed a little before finally righting and driving off. When I was sure that there was no more threat to either Ivy or myself, I looked at her on the ground. Bending down beside her I put one hand behind her head and shook her body with my other. “Ivy,” I shook a little harder, “can you hear me?” She didn’t stir, she didn’t make any noise. It didn’t look like she had been shot but I couldn’t be sure because of the lack of light around us. She was breathing though. “Tesoro,” I whispered the term of endearment that I used when we were teens. I had thought I was so slick back then because she had melted the first time I used it. I find

MaxAs I shut the door to the room Ivy was in, my room, there was a knock on the door. I knew that it would be her parents. What I didn’t know, was how they would act. I had called them only after she had seen the doctor which probably was stupid, but I wanted to know she was okay before I called.I opened the door and was met with the face of Vincent Bellandini. He looked pissed. “Sir,” I greeted him, stepping aside to let him and his wife in.“Where is my daughter?” Mrs. Bellandini asked. Her voice gave away that she was worried sick.I started to answer before I heard thedoor to the other bedroom shut. “She is in here, Aunt Becs,” Gia answered her. I watched the woman follow her niece to the room Ivy was in, shutting the door behind them.“What the hell happened?” Vincent asked me as soon as he was sure the door was shut and the women weren’t coming back out. I sighed a

IvyI woke up with my head laying on something hard and warm. When it moved upward, I froze. Max. I was on his chest. His no shirt, perfectly chiseled, naked, chest. And it felt amazing. His breathing was even still so he wasn't awake. I smiled, thinking about how good it felt. I let myself imagine for a few minutes, that this was how we woke up every day. Had been waking up for the last several years. Like we had never been separated by my dad and his stupid rules or whatever he wanted to call it.I knew why Max had been sent away, no matter what my father had told me or mom. He didn't want me dating back then any more than he did now. I also knew that he had been getting ready to send some of the boys, my age, to Italy for training. Maybe it was a half-truth. I didn't know for sure and there was no point on dwelling on the past. Not when someone out there wanted to kill me. I decided that it was time to get up before he woke up and caught me, no matt

IvyI woke up with a smile on my face. The me from hours earlier, would have slapped it off my face and told myself to stop being sappy, but I couldn't for the life of me. It wasn't until I started stretching, that I realized Max was gone. I listen to see if I can find out where he is. Shower? No water running, but I can hear voices outside the bedroom and I know one of them is my fathers. I decide I am done resting. Hopefully they have some information so I can go take care of this problem.I open the door, and everyone stops talking. Gia and Nico are sitting on the loveseat together, mom is on the couch looking like she is more worried than she was when she had come to check on me, my uncle Dom is in the corner of the room, leaning against the wall looking every bit the scary man that he is when someone messes with his family. My father is of course standing in the center of everything. He appears that he was in the middle of giving orders, but I can

MaxI watched Ivy’s face as she listened to whoever was on the other end of the call.“You’re sure?” Her face was a mixture of confusion and what I hoped wasn’t fear, but I wasn’t confident that was the case. “Okay. Thanks,” she hung up and sank to the bed.“Ivy?” I took a step toward her cautiously. She didn’t move, just stared at her feet. I crouched down in front of her and put a hand on each of her thighs. “Ivy. What is it?”“I can’t believe it,” she breaths, still not looking at me.“What?”Her head whips up like she just realized I was there. Her eyes lock with mine. “The shooter…” I nod waiting for her to keep going. “He’s… He… A solider under Uncle Dom,” her eyebrows furrow like she just can’t believe it.Truthfully, I can’t believe it either

Ivy“Ivy, will you tell me what the hell is going on?” Gia asks me as I look over the bar in the main room of the suite. A full bar is needed for the way the people coming like to party. I sigh and keep working, hoping she will drop it. “Ivy,” her voice is firm telling me that she isn’t going to drop it.“Fine,” I groan, “Carlos got an ID on the guy that tried to kill me.” I look down at the bar in front of me. I know for my plan to work I have to keep myself calm and I’m not sure that I can do that.“Who?” Gia sounds scared. I know this isn’t her thing, but I also know she will stand by me.“One of Uncle Dom’s men.” The gasp is loud causing me to cringe. “Everything will be fine. Max and Nico are going to talk to people and see what they can find out. I don’t just want the guy that did it, I want to know why.”“I

MaxI watched Ivy stock my direction and I was sure she was going to rip Sienna off me and claim me. I know that it would have blown the plan out of the water, but I would be lying if I wasn’t looking forward to it. Which meant I was disappointed when she walked right past us to and into the group of people that were drying humping to the music and calling it dancing.Her arms rose above her head, her hips swayed, eyes closed. I watch her until I hear Sienna’s annoying whiny voice say my name. “What?” I look at her.“Are you going to show me your room?” She bats her eyelashes at me, and I internally groan. Ivy’s idea better work.“Why would I do that?” I choose to act like I don’t even know what she is getting at. Looking past her, I see Nico sitting on the couch looking uncomfortable as Arianna rubs against him. I then look to see Gia seething before taking a shot and marching t

Five Years LaterIvy“Again!” I shouted as I paced around the group training in hand-to-hand combat. I couldn’t even help the smile that crossed my face as I took in the groups, made of both men and women, as they threw punches, and kicks, and fought to take their partners down.“They look good,” my dad said, stopping me from continuing my pacing. “I think you’re possibly the best Capo we’ve ever had.”I shook my head. There was no way that was possible. He had been amazing and everyone knew that. I work hard to be half as great as he was. “I had a great teacher,” I tell him, bumping his shoulder with mine. “Aren't you supposed to be leaving for Italy?”“Heading to the airport,” he nodded, “wanted to say goodbye and remind you to…”“Call you if I need anything,” I finished for him. He always said the same thing. Even five years after I became Capo, I was still his little girl. “The only thing I need is for you and Mom to enjoy your trip and tell Aunt Lidia that I said hi and send her

IvyI watched Max walk out of my office door and then looked at Cristo. Did he really believe that Max was going to go kill people like my Uncle Dom? That his loyalty would ever waver? I had truly thought Orland was a complete moron giving out his whole plan and what not to Max and Nico, but his cousin here, was proving to be equally or maybe even more stupid.“You won’t get away with this,” I said then rolled my eyes and my cliche words. Max better hurry up and get me out of here away from this guy, his stupidity might be rubbing off on me.Cristo chuckles with a shake of his head as he stocks toward me. “You think I haven’t thought this all the way through?” No, I don’t, but I don’t say that I just stare at him. “Wow! You don’t think that I know that deep down that husband of yours won’t do whatever he has to in order to save you? Or is it that you don’t believe he loves you?” I continue to stare at him as he rubs a finger over his chin. I know it’s important to just keep him distra

Max“That’s it for me today,” I told Giuseppe, the guy I was helping today. I had spent the last two months helping the men that Dominico said needed more training.“It’s only eleven,” Giuseppe looked at his watch.I nod as I pack up my rifle, “My wife finally has time for a small vacation. We are heading out in a few hours. I’ll be gone until Monday. Dominico will be around if you need anything, but I told him everyone should just get an extra day off this week.” I picked up my gun case and headed for the door.“Have fun,” he hollered after me. I raised my hand and waved but didn’t slow down. I’m on my way to take my wife on a fucking honeymoon. I thought the day would never come.As soon as I pulled up to our house though, I know something is wrong. Ivy said she would be outside with our bags so we could go straight to the plane and be gone. Our bags are where they’re supposed to be. Ivy isn’t.Getting out of the car and walking to the door, I take in what I see. The front door is o

IvyI woke up with Max’s heavy arm over me. I wasn’t uncomfortable though. If anything, it was the most comfortable I had ever been. I moved a little, slowly, trying not to wake him up, but get closer to him at the same time. I knew that I should get up. I had work to do, but I didn’t want the moment to end.Married. We were married and I was busy. He had been hurt and I had focused on him. But since he had felt better, I had been focused on only work. I was a horrible wife. I smiled and thought about all the things I’d let him do to me the night before. Okay, maybe I wasn’t that horrible.“You’re thinking pretty hard over there,” Max’s voice made me jump a little. He chuckled and I swatted at his arm that lay across me. He moved, sitting up against the headboard. He brought me with him and my head went to his bare chest. All of him was bare. All of me was bare. “What’s wrong?” He kissed the top of my head.I shook me head and peered up at him through my lashes. “Nothing.”“Don’t lie

MaxFor the second time today, Ivy has made me hard with her leadership. I never would have guessed that something like a woman… My woman… being in charge would make me so fucking horny. I hadn’t felt that way since I was a teenager. Ivy was the one to help me out then too.The problem right now though is that she is on a mission. She has been on the phone calling everyone she can think of to set up meetings and get things in order for when these women are ready to start training. She thinks the idea is a great one. Honestly, I do too. I love that she is able to defend herself even though I plan on her never having to actually do that.“Sorry, Max,” she said as she hung up her phone. She had taken over her father’s office and I couldn’t even say that I hated the way she looked behind the desk. “Are you feeling okay? Do you need to lay down? I lost my head earlier letting you lift me and…”I hold my hand up and lean as far forward as I can in the chair I’ve been sitting in since we cam

IvyMax slammed my back into our bedroom door. My legs wrapped around his waist and my arms around his neck made it so that he couldn’t see a damn thing. That and our tongues battling each other for dominance.“Door,” he pulled away from me just long enough to groan the word. I reached behind me searching for the handle. “Hurry up. Your dad will probably try to kill me if he catches us like this.”“Don’t want that,” I said before biting his lip. He chuckled as he readjusted me in his arms. I finally found the handle as his hands found my ass and squeezed tight making me squeal.“Shh, Wife.” Max growled as he walked into the room and kicked the door shut. I raised an eyebrow when it slammed making much more noise than I had. “Yeah. Yeah,” he threw me on the bed.I bounced, laughed and smiling wide up at him. I looked over all of him. His perfect chiseled jaw, his perfect tanned skin, his perfect blue eyes. Okay, he was perfect. He was also going to give me the best looking kids ever. H

MaxBeing shot hurts like a bitch. The attention my woman is showering me with though… worth it. I lean forward as she fluffs my pillows like she has every morning since I was released from the hospital.“How’s that?” Ivy asked, placing a kiss on my cheek.“Perfect. I will be extremely comfortable now when you ride me. Those perfect tits in my face while you do it?.. Heaven.” She laughs and shakes her head as she crawls out of the bed, smoothing her side of the blankets down so it looks like the bed was made with me in it. “Where are you going?” I groan.“To get your meds. Doctor says that you need to finish the antibiotics,” she puts her hands on her hips causing me to smirk at her. “Plus, you’ll want those pain pills too. Franny is coming for physical therapy this morning.”My head falls back, banging against the headboard. “Is it really Thursday already?” I pinch my eyes shut. I hate Thursday’s. Franny is a huge woman who takes no shit and pushes me as far as she can go. After not

Ivy“No, No, NO!” I yelled at Max as his eyes closed. This was not happening. It couldn’t be. We were supposed to be going to the airport. I wasn’t going to only get a day with my husband. I watched as red flowed out from under him. My eyes filled with tears and I tried to lift him to turn him over.“Ivy!” I heard my dad calling my name, but I couldn’t move. I couldn’t leave Max. “Damnit, Ivy,” Dad’s hand clamped around my shoulder. “We have to go…”I shook him off and cut him off, “No! I’m not leaving him!”“Ivy! Listen to me,” Dad’s voice was calm as he gripped both shoulders and made me look at him. My hands were moving over Max, trying to see if there was something I could fix. “Ivy, we need to get him to the hospital.” His words made me snap my head in his direction. I nodded. He waved his hand at a few of his, my, men who ran over and bent down around me and Max. “Let them help him.” I nodded again and moved back so they could surround him and lift him in air.“Be careful, pleas

MaxI couldn’t keep my eyes or hands off her all night during our reception. She looked beautiful and she was all mine. Finally. And I was never letting her go.We stumbled into the hotel suite, arms wrapped around each other, and lips connected. My hand found the zipper keeping her in her dress and not naked. I slid it down and kissed her deeper. When I pulled back, I smiled at her and said, “The first one is going to be fast. The way you look in this dress…” I shook my head at her. “Today has been the longest day of my life. Watching you, dancing with you, touching you in any way, knowing that you are officially mine in every way,” I tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear and smiled, “it was pure torture.”“I agree.” Her arms landed around my neck, so she could pull my head down to hers for a kiss.I pulled her closer by her hips, deepening the kiss. Out tongues tangled and she whimpered causing my dick to harden in my pants. I was more than ready to be naked with her. Sliding in
