I 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

IvyThe sun shining through the window is what wakes me up the next morning. I roll over to cuddle deeper into Max, but he isn’t there. With furrowed eyebrows, I sit up and look around the room. The bathroom door is closed but I can see that the light is on. Holding my breath, I listen. The shower is going.With a smile on my face, I throw back the blankets. The cold air hits my still naked body as walk into the bathroom. The shower door is fogged up giving me only a slight view of Max’s silhouette. I don’t say a word as I walk toward the shower.Easing the glass door towards me I see Max standing there with his back to me. His naked ass looks amazing with water running down it. I bite my lip and can’t help that my eyes stayed glued to it. “You going to come in and stop letting all the cool air in?” Max’s deep voice breaks my concentration. My eyes snap up and connect with his. He is smirking at me over his shoulder causing me to roll my eyes. I turn around and shut the door. When I t

MaxWe went over the conversation that we had with Orlando Travisano at the party and to say Ballandini wasn’t happy would be an understatement. Not that I blame him. I know how pissed I felt about someone wanting Ivy dead. I can only imagine how her own father was feeling.“You ready for this?” Nico asks from beside me. I look at him and nod. Standing outside the location for the meeting meant that we had played everything right but there was still a lot to get through. They had to believe that we wanted Ivy dead too. Had to believe that I would gladly kill her. Their trust was the only way I was going to be able to find everyone that wasn’t loyal to Ivy. I wouldn’t fail her. It wasn’t an option.I point at the door, “Do the knock,” I tell Nico as I rub my temples. I can feel a headache coming on.Nico knocks in the coded way that we were instructed and then we wait. It takes five seconds for someone to open the door. The hulking man steps out and crosses his arms, glaring at us both

MaxA party. “Fuck,” I swear under my breath as I button my suit jacket up. I have to pretend to not be with Ivy, which is only one thing I’ll hate about tonight. I haven’t had her near me for a whole two hours and I’m not liking it. I want her in my sights at all time.“Her dad has people watching her,” Nico reminds me for probably the tenth time since I separated from Ivy.“Tellme you’re not worried about Gia,” I raise an eyebrow at her.“Touché.” I run a hand down my face and begin pacing. “Calm down though, you are making me nervous, and we all need to be on our game tonight. As you pointed out, I don’t want anything happening to Gia anymore than you want something happening to Ivy.”“You’re really falling for her, huh?”He nods, “Best arrangement ever.” I can tell he is trying to hold back a smile so I smile wide at him so he just gives in. In our word a lot of men don’t want to show they care or love their families. Sometimes it’s because they don’t want to look weak and other t

IvyI want to rip Sienna’s hands off my fucking man so bad. I swear that this better be the end of this situation because if he has to pretend to be into her one more time, I will kill her.“Oh look, the future Capo’s twin sister is here,” Max says in a snarky voice. I glare in his direction. I’m trying to catch the hoe’s hand on fire but to everyone else, it looks like I’m glaring at him.“Oh, look the worst sniper we have. Why are you still here?” I walk past his fake date toward the bar. I feel him pinch my ass a little as I pass him.My wonderful brother decides on that second to come into the room, Arianna on his arm. The girls rush to each other and start giggling together. Gia is already rolling her eyes when I look her way.“You two are lucky sons of bitches,” Orlando says to my brother and Max, throwing an arm over each of their shoulders. “Theres none hotter.” I gag, out loud, when he looks them up and down a couple of times. “Something to say, Baldracca?” My hands around hi

MaxI don’t even think to pause to knock on Ivy’s door, I just open it and barge right in. When the party guests started thinning and I saw her slip up the stairs, I downed the drink in my hand and followed.When the door opened, she was standing there, in just a dark purple lacy bra and panties set and the cute little heels I saw peeking out from under her dress whenever I looked long enough throughout the night.“You look like you were expecting someone,” I smirk at her.She shrugs, “Just some guy I might have fallen a little bit for,” she pinches her thumb and pointer finger together. I chuckle. “Shut the door. My parents might have their room on the other side of the house, but my sister's room is two doors down.”I slam the door, grateful that there are still guests here, so they haven’t shut the music off. I wouldn’t doubt that if Vincent heard the door slam, he would rush to his daughter’s rescue. Even though there is nothing and no one that will be able to save her from me.I

IvyWaking up to Max kissing me was heaven. He started at my shoulder and moved across my back. When he got to the middle of my neck, I shivered and gave away that I was awake.“Morning.” I could feel Max’s smile against my skin.Rolling over, I smiled wide at him. “Good morning. Sleep good?”He nodded. “Every night with you in my arms is better than good. It’s the best thing ever. I love you,” he leaned in and connected our mouths. I moaned and tried to push him onto his back so that I could straddle him. But he overpowered me, and I ended up on my back, our lips never leaving each other. He moved across my face to my neck and down it. I moved it to the side so that he had better access.“Max, we have to be quick. I have a lesson with my dad in an hour and I can’t smell like you and sex,” I laughed. It had been two weeks since my dad had let Max start staying here and I was enjoying it. Every morning we rolled around in bed and then whenever we could throughout the day. I feel asleep

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
