Taming the Obsessed Mafia Boss 143
Ari's POVThe world outside no longer existed.Not the flashing lights, not the drunks outside making being themselves, not the sound of cars running by in the distance, not the voices in my head telling me I should still be mad. Nothing mattered except the way Derek's lips moved against mine. Slow, passionate and deliberate, almost like he had all the time in the world.But I didn't want that.My hands tangled in his shirt, fisting the fabric as I pressed closer, heat coiling tight in my stomach. But just as I deepened the kiss, just as I let myself drown in him—He pulled back.I blinked, breathless and confused. "You're kidding me."Derek smirked, his thumb brushing over my swollen lips. "Told you, I like to savor."Whatever he had in mind, it won't happen today.I grabbed the collar of his shirt and yanked him back down, crashing my lips against his. He let out a low chuckle but didn't resist—at least, not right away.Then, just when my hands slid under his shirt, just when I was

Ari’s POVThe morning light filtered through the thin curtains, a dull glow settling over the room. I blinked awake, my body heavy with sleep, my thoughts sluggish—until they weren’t.It all came rushing back.Derek. Last night. The warmth of his hands, the quiet hum of his voice in the dark, the way I had let myself be distracted—let myself sink into something that wasn’t overwhelming. That wasn’t suffocating.And yet, the only thing pounding in my chest was the lingering unease.Because before Derek… before any of it… I had seen him.Or I thought I had.Cross.The sharp angle of his jaw, the way his shoulders carried a weight I had memorized. It had only been a moment, but it had felt so real. Real enough to shatter the fragile peace I had been trying to build.I squeezed my eyes shut. It wasn’t him. It couldn’t have been.But the doubt wouldn’t leave me.Beside me, Derek shifted, exhaling a deep sigh before rolling onto his side. A second later, his arm slid over my waist, his fing

Ari’s POVI didn’t dream of Cross tonight.I returned home weak and broken. Everything in my life was falling into place, and just the night ago, it had come crashing down. Why? Because I saw some stranger who looked like my mafia lover. I was in denial. I had to wake up.Well, it wasn’t exactly the supposed appearance of Cross that brought things crashing down. More like the moment Kaelie became stupid enough to accept a date from Jonathan. That was still enough to keep me shocked. What was she thinking?Now, she was the only person I could have run to but no… I couldn’t even call her over the phone. I didn’t even want to hear her voice. I was still grateful for the gift of Gina who had kept me company through the evening. At least, I felt much better. At least, I didn’t dream of Cross.Maybe that should have been a relief. Maybe I should be grateful I didn’t wake up gasping for air, reaching for someone who was no longer there.Instead, I woke up to an emptiness so heavy it pressed

Cross’ POVI hadn’t been able to breathe right since I saw her again.Ari.She had walked past me that day like I was a ghost, unaware that my entire being was set on fire the moment our eyes locked—even if just for a second. She looked the same yet different. Stronger, sharper, colder. She carried herself with the confidence of someone who had survived too much, and maybe she had. Maybe I had been part of the reason for that.I should have let it go. I should have turned my back and moved on. But something in me refused. The need to see her again, to confirm to myself that she was real, that she was breathing and alive in this ruthless world, gnawed at my insides until I gave in.It wasn’t about what I wanted, not anymore. It wasn’t even about trying to repair whatever I had destroyed between us. It was just... this pull. A magnetic force that dragged me back to her, even though every rational part of me screamed to turn away.The next morning, I walked into Mira’s quarters, my exp

Ari’s POVWhen I watched some psychological thrillers back then, I figured there were moment when reality seemed warped and what appeared as something may be a totally different thing.My reality may be totally different, and I was just living in my own head, chasing the wind. There was one way to find out though.After work that day, I walked home. The night air was thick with an eerie silence, punctuated only by the occasional honk of a distant car or the faint rustle of leaves in the breeze. I kept my head down, my fingers gripping the strap of my bag as I moved through the dimly lit streets. The feeling had been there for days now—a shadow just out of sight, a presence that lingered like an unfinished thought in the back of my mind. I wasn’t paranoid. No, I knew paranoia, and this was something else entirely. I was being followed.Again!I quickened my steps, forcing myself to breathe evenly as I turned into a narrower street, one that led away from my apartment. I think I was r

Ari's POVI remember giving in to Derek's soothing words that I should let go and sleep but I'm sure it wasn't up to five minutes before my eyes opened again."You're not sleeping?" Derek asked, his words soft and low."Don't tell me you kept your eyes on me all this while." I replied, enjoying the feel of my head on his shoulder."You barely closed your eyes, Ari. You need to sleep."I let out a long sigh, my mind slowly starting to relive what happened in the alley. "I just can't sleep. But yes, I'm tired.""Why can't you?" Derek asked, taking my hand in his."There's just too much on my mind." "You need a distraction."I glanced at him, a small smile playing at the corners of my lips. "Are you offering?"His brows lifted, his eyes glittering with intentions. "Well, if you're interested, why not?"My body was screaming yes, but I just smirked at him. "Maybe later.""Really? That's how it's going to be? After all that teasing the other day, now you're gonna play hard to get?"I sat

Ari's POVI pulled off from his cock with a wet pop, licking off the thin and thick strands of saliva connecting my mouth to it.I dived back in and started sucking lightly while slowly bobbing my head up and down."God, Ari... That feels good."I sucked harder, swirling my tongue around the tip, enjoying the sounds of pleasure that escaped from his lips.Derek's hands gripped my hair as I continued sucking and licking his cock, his breathing growing heavier by the second."Don't tell me you're close already?" I asked, pulling off him and continuing to stroke him."I'm not, but I could be if you keep doing that.""No, not yet. I said we'll have the whole night, didn't I? We've only just begun." I winked at him, kissing the tip of his cock."What did I ever do to deserve this? Why am I the victim here?""Victim?" I scoffed, pulling back for a moment . "What a weird thing to say when you're enjoying it so much.""Just.... Continue doing what you were doing." Derek chuckled, his fingers

Ari’s POVIt was a long night, and another day was before me.I sat at the kitchen table, absentmindedly swirling the last of my coffee around, my thoughts scattered in a thousand different directions. Derek turned up shortly. The room was still as he moved from the couch to the kitchen, stretching his arms above his head. “I feel like a piece of toast that’s been left in the toaster too long,” he muttered, his voice thick with sleep. His hair was tousled, eyes half-lidded, but that smirk was already forming on his lips as he caught my eye.I couldn’t suppress a chuckle. “You really did that to yourself. I told you the couch would be uncomfortable.”He groaned dramatically, sitting down beside me and reaching for the coffee cup I’d set down. “I was thinking about you all night, so I didn’t notice,” he said, looking at me with a playful glint in his eye. “At least, I wasn’t watching my back.”My heart skipped a beat, though I did my best not to let it show. Derek had this way of sayin

Cross’ POVThe roar of the engine filled my ears as I sped down the deserted road, the air slashing across my face. My mind was a storm, thoughts slamming into each other. Ari was in trouble. I didn’t know where, I didn’t know how, but I could feel it. The moment I saw that unknown number flash on my screen, I knew. And when the call disconnected before a voice could even come through, I didn’t hesitate. With a flick of my wrist, I activated the tracker embedded in my device, hacking into the last known coordinates of the signal.The result made my blood run cold.A forest. The middle of nowhere. And a part of me already knew who had taken her.Jonathan.If Mira could have worked with someone… Could it be him?The bastard wasn’t dead. Not yet. But I was about to fix that.I pushed the bike harder, trees blurring past me in dark smudges. The location was getting closer, the beeping on my tracker speeding up. My gut clenched as a shadowy structure came into view. An uncompleted buildi

Ari’s POVI ran.Blindly. Desperately. My breath came in ragged gasps, my legs screaming for rest, but I didn't dare stop. What I didn’t expect outside the building was a stretch of green - the woods…I cursed.Behind me, his voice slithered through the trees, taunting, sing-song, twisted in its mockery."Ari, come out, come out wherever you are…"A shudder ripped through me. He was enjoying this. The chase. The fear. The sheer power he had over me.I pushed forward, stumbling over uneven ground. My body ached, but I forced myself onward, lungs burning, heart hammering against my ribs. If I stopped, I was dead.Up ahead, a fallen tree loomed. I dropped to my knees, crawling underneath, pressing myself against the damp earth. I clenched my fists, holding my breath. Maybe, just maybe, I could disappear into the shadows.The silence stretched.Then—a hand clamped around my ankle.A scream tore from my throat as I was yanked backward, my nails clawing at the ground, grasping for anything

Ariana’s POVDarkness.It was thick, suffocating, pressing against me like a second skin.My wrists burned from the restraints, bound so tightly I could feel the circulation slowing. My ankles were the same—tied, restrained, useless. My breath was uneven, a mix of panic and frustration, chest rising and falling against the gag tied around my mouth.I tried to move. Failed.I tried again, twisting my body, but all it did was send a sharp pain shooting through my shoulders.Where the hell was I?The last thing I remembered was stepping into my apartment. Then—darkness.Now I was here.And I wasn’t alone.A noise—a rustling, a whimper—echoed through the blackness.Then, a voice. Weak. Trembling. Familiar.“…Ari?”My body froze.That voice.That broken, barely-there whisper.Kaelie.My head snapped toward the sound, my eyes adjusting to the dimness of what little light seeped through the cracks of wherever the fuck we were.And then—I saw her.Tied. Beaten. Bloody.She was slumped against

Cross’ POVAs I ran through to the car, I already spotted what was coming. If Mira already knew about Ari, she had definitely told the Don, and the Don was already in the picture. If the Don was in the picture, they were coming for me. I and the Don had made an agreement, and that was to stay faithful to Mira.That agreement was broken.In no time, the Don’s men would be here.The air was thick with gasoline and sweat as I slipped into the car. My fingers tightened around the steering wheel as I reached for my phone, barely suppressing the rush of adrenaline flooding my veins.The Don may be on me, but I also had my plans.And it was time to put it in motion.The call rang once before Gustav answered.“It’s time.”There was no hesitation. No questions. Only a sharp exhale from the other end of the line before the call cut off.And then—The roar of engines.Headlights flared in the distance, then multiplied like wildfire. The Don’s men poured in from every alley, every street, surroun

Cross’ POVThe city streets were still drenched in the silence of the early morning when I arrived at the hideout. My body ached from exhaustion, but my mind was sharper than ever.Leo was dead.That truth weighed on me like chains, heavy and unrelenting. I had spent years crawling out of the grave only to return and find the ones I left behind buried instead.Leo should have been here. Laughing. Drinking. Breathing.Instead, we were about to put him in the ground.I entered the dimly lit warehouse, my boots echoing against the cold concrete. Gustav was already there, leaning against a wooden crate, a cigarette burning low between his fingers.He looked up at me, his sharp eyes unreadable. "You're back."I nodded. "Get the men ready. We're taking Leo home."Gustav exhaled a cloud of smoke before flicking the cigarette away. “Took you long enough, boss. I gat you, anyway.” he muttered, pushing off the crate. “I’ll round them up.”Within minutes, my men—Leo’s men—our family—began to gat

Ari's POVThe world was still wrapped in the quiet, heavy embrace of the early morning when I stirred. My body felt warm, blanketed by the remnants of a presence so familiar yet so distant that, for a moment, I thought I was still dreaming.And then I felt it.A slow, steady breath against my neck.The warmth of a body pressed against mine.An arm lazily draped over my waist.Reality settled in.I didn't dare move—not yet. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, my heart swelling, aching, twisting. He was here. Cross was here. Alive. In my bed.The night had been a storm of emotions, fists, accusations, and unbridled relief. And now, here we were, tangled in the stillness, as if the world hadn’t turned upside down just hours ago.Slowly, I turned my head, and there he was.Cross.His face, barely inches from mine, softened in sleep. His long lashes cast faint shadows on his sharp cheekbones, his lips slightly parted, chest rising and falling in a rhythm that had once been the most c

Ari's POVOnce we reached the bed, he pushed me down before pulling his trouser and boxer off, and then climbing on top of me, his hard length rubbing against my thigh."Spread your legs for me." Cross ordered, his eyes locked on mine as he waited for me to comply.I obeyed, opening my legs wide, exposing my pussy to him.He reached down and ran his finger over my folds, his cock twitching when he saw how wet I was."You're dripping." He smiled, bringing his fingers to his mouth and he licked them clean.He leaned forward, his face only inches from mine. "Are you ready for me, Ari?""Yes," I gasped, my body aching for him.Cross grinned and gripped his cock, he slid the tip along my folds, teasing me to further wetness before pushing himself inside me, his eyes closing and his face tightening as he felt me wrap around his cock."So tight," he groaned. "And so wet.""Yeah." I cried out, arching my back as he started thrusting.His thrusts were slow and steady at first, but they gradual

Ari's POVThe taste of him was intoxicating.The way his tongue slid against mine, his teeth scraping across my lower lip.I didn’t realize that I was pressed up against the wall until his hand slid up the back of my shirt, fingers playing across the bare skin of my back.I gasped."Cross."His name slipped out. It felt like a plea. Or a prayer. But I didn't care.I didn't care at all what it meant or felt like.Right now, all that mattered was him and how he was making me feel.The way his lips were on mine.The way his body pressed against me.Cross's mouth moved to my neck, his teeth grazing over the sensitive skin. I arched into him, heat flooding through me as I have into my desires.It wasn't enough.It would never be enough. Not with Cross.I tugged at the hem of his shirt, my hands slipping underneath to touch the smooth, hard muscles beneath."Take it off," I breathed out, my voice thick with lust. Raw and heavy.Cross pulled back, a smirk on his lips."Are you sure?""Yes,"

Ari's POVThe night stretched on, endless and suffocating. I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to close my eyes for more than a few seconds without a wave of paranoia washing over me. My body was exhausted, but my mind refused to shut down. Every creak, every distant honk of a car outside sent a shiver down my spine. I could still feel the weight of what had happened—Kaelie missing, the attack at her house, and then…Cross.The name burned inside my head like fire. It wasn’t possible. It couldn’t be possible. He was dead. I had seen him buried… No, the body was “evidence.” But I had mourned him, shattered myself trying to move on. I had told myself a thousand times that he was gone. But tonight, he was there—flesh, blood, and rage. My rescuer. My nightmare. My ghost.Or was it him?Jeez… What was I doing to myself?A shuddering breath escaped my lips.Perhaps, I just needed to sleep and wake up and everything will be alright.But then I heard it.A noise. A faint rustling
