The Badass Mafia Boss Queen Love, Not Pain
I had no idea where I was or what time it was when I woke up again. Disoriented, I glanced around the room, looking for a clock, and then, I suddenly recalled the events of the previous day. Disarrayed images of what had happened started filtering through in pieces. Gunfire, dead bodies, skeletons, Castello. I gulped to force back down the knot that was growing in my throat and got up. From the windows, I could see that the sun was up and that Hollis wasn't home, a little panic took over me. I shuffled over to the living room, just as he walked through the door, grocery bags in hand. "The grocery store didn’t have much, but I got what I could." He announced, breathless. Placing the bags on the table, he rushed over to me and shocked me with a hug that lasted for a while. He cradled my face in his hands and surveyed it with worry, passing his thumbs over my puffy and scratched cheeks. I forced a cheering smile. "Good morning," he whispered, kissing me on the

"What?" I jolted up. Not sure what pained me most. What he said, or the fact that he dropped me down. "But it's not even up to a year." I reminded him, in case he's forgotten."Yeah, and I'm letting you go." He said.I shook my head, walking to meet him in the living room. "No, don't say that. I can help you with something while I'm here.""No, you can't." He shook his head.My voice broke into a whisper. "I... I don't want to..." I held out to him. "I just told you that I love you." I wondered if my words didn't mean a thing to him. After everything that had happened, we needed each other more than ever. I considered bringing my face a few inches forward to bridge the gap between us, while he continued to shake his head. "The fact that I said I love you, does it mean anything to you at all?" I asked him. He smiled lazily. "You know it does. But I can't keep you here. Surely, this isn't the future you want for yourself.""It is," I said hurriedly
The Badass Mafia Boss Queen Say The Word
I saw Castello spread on the ground. I yelled at him to get up, but he refused to move. I was frantic. He was lying on the tiled floor right in front of me, and I bent over, trying to get to him, but someone was holding me back. I fought the hand that was grabbing onto the back of my shirt and turned around to see Amory sitting across from me with a long whip. I woke up in a cold sweat. Hollis was already holding me and calling out my name. I was screaming Castello's name. His face had implanted itself in my brain while I was sleeping, and it wasn’t going away anytime soon. Hollis rocked me back and forth as the tears and quivering started up again. But something was different this time. I didn’t want to hold any of it in anymore. After a few minutes of tears, I willed myself to calm down, and I turned to Hollis. He looked sick with worry. "Baby, I'm here." He groaned painfully. "What are you going to do to Amory?" I asked point blank, wiping the wetness from my face. H

I woke up very late, well into the afternoon. Even then, I realized that what woke me up was the sound of Hollis's voice coming from outside. I went downstairs and peeked out the window. He was pacing back and forth on the porch, talking rapidly on his cell phone. I could hear him angrily retelling my story, the parts they didn't catch on camera to whoever was listening on the other side. He was beside himself, and a string of cuss words preceded and followed Frick's name. I took the opportunity to wash my face and have a boiling warm shower. As the warm water washed the soapy leather off my body, so did my remaining jumbled thoughts. Everything in my head was clear again, and, though my heart still felt like it was being squeezed every time I thought of Castello, I didn’t let my brain run away from it anymore. I let myself feel the pain and remember everything as it happened. Then I started thinking of the way forward. I haven't spoken to my father yet. I droppe

"So who is Amory? Is he related to Frick?" I asked him. Hollis nodded. "When Monte, Frick's right-hand man, was in prison, Amory took over from him." "Did Monte later steal your cocaine?" Hollis started laughing. "He doesn't have the balls to try." Then he became serious again. "I really have to let you go, Ugo." Hollis cupped my face in his hands. "Baby, if the world realizes the truth about my feelings for you, it will change everything. Even after our agreement ends, you will become a target. Because they would know they could control me if they had you." He reassuringly pressed his lips against mine, but then he stopped himself and pulled away. "I'm not planning to go, even after the contract ends." I said. He looked terrified, shocked and speechless. But I've said what I wanted and even though I'm certain that I might be making a huge mistake, I didn't take it back. We had lunch. I read a romance book we found lying around the house. I was snuggled up in his arms and read
The Badass Mafia Boss Queen Commitment
Every little nerve in my body was alert and alive, craving for more of his touch. Craving for where this would end. His hips rocked into my ass, and his cock slid against me as his fingers continued their torment. Tempting me with the memory of what it felt like to have him inside me. He suddenly pinched my clit, and I threw my head back against his shoulder. The dam inside me broke open. I worked myself against his cock, riding his fingers. Chasing the need for release he’s built up inside me. A need that felt too much like damnation. "And I won’t let anyone take you away from me." He said, It sounded soft. But I knew he was serious, yet I didn't care.Slowly, tortuously, he pulled his hips back, dragging his cock away from me. In a weak attempt to muffle a whimper, I bit my lip. "You are mine." His weight slammed into me as he thrust forward, driving himself inside my cunt. Penetrating the very center of my being. It felt so good, so fucking right, that I w
The Badass Mafia Boss Queen Moment Of Truth
With no books aside from the one I'd already exhausted yesterday. No TV, no gym, no Dojo, and nowhere to go, I wondered what I was going to do to occupy my time while Hollis was away. But then I remembered that with Maxine, I don't have to do much. He is all the fun I could ask for. But it's a different circumstance now. I have no idea how he's taking Castello's death and what being alone with him would be like. The thought alone suddenly made me hyperventilate. "How long are you going to be gone for?" I asked Hollis, my voice slightly cracked, but I was trying to keep calm and brave for Hollis's sake. "A couple of hours, if I leave within the next one to two hours. Max is almost here." "Where are you going?" "To see my father." He replied and I felt chills rush down my spine. He smiled and it warmed my heart. "If you must know, everybody is worried about you and my father is no except
The Badass Mafia Boss Queen Under Attack!
"Fuck!" I cussed out. "You're not mad?" I asked him. "At Ugo? Not anymore. When I met your mother, I faced worse. She's just scared. We meet these powerful women, we fall in love and then we lie to them because we think we're protecting them." My father said. "That wasn't why I lied to her." I sighed, rubbing my forehead. "You fell in love?" "And turned stupid while at it," I replied. My phone beeped and I pulled it out of my pocket. "Fucking assholes!" I shouted. "They're here. We're under attack!" I screamed at my father and the few guards outside the door. "Double the damn security at the Villa, and send some backup. We're under attack." I heard him speaking to someone on phone. I knew he was probably speaking to his wife. She was the only one he trusted enough to get the job done aside from me, Maxine, and Castello. I was already dialing Maxine's number and when h

The Badass Mafia Boss Queen RUTHLESS KINGS: THE LANDON BROTHERS
We drove down a clear road, surrounded by mountains and hills, and then through cave-like closings. "Where are you taking me?" I asked, trying to keep the panic out of my voice. "I’m taking you home, Emmah Landon," Gideon said, and he looked at me with that goddamn devastating crooked grin. "It's Emmah Huxley. We're divorced." I reminded him. "Yet, you're wearing a ring that would stop other men from coming close." He winked at me, obviously pleased with himself. I ignored him. But why do I have a ring on my goddamn finger? Let's see... I'm yet to get over Gideon... Of course not. I just didn't want to be disturbed by any man, relationship-wise. And... Well, and nothing. "This is not the road to my home," I said, my fingers nervously circling around my ring finger. I saw him flick his eyes over to me, and there was something almost predatory in that lazy, easy smile. "It is now," he said. I tried not to look at the muscles in his arms or how his legs were spread carelessly
The Badass Mafia Boss Queen RUTHLESS KINGS: THE LANDON BROTHERS
He hurled me over his shoulder and started toward the side of the gas station where a black car was readily in wait. I screamed, yelled, scratched his back, yet nothing. Well, I might as well be hitting a brick wall. The area was deserted, there was no one to help, and my screams weren't getting me anywhere. There was nothing hurried about his steps; he took his time, and when we got to the car, he threw me in the back seat and filed in behind me. "Drive." He said, and that was it, his driver or whoever that robotic-looking man was, started the car. "How... What are you doing here?" I asked him, frantic. "How did you know where I was?" He didn’t answer right away, instead, he leaned back in his seat and said, "I've been on your tail for the longest time. There is this thing called a tracker. Since you've refused to see or hear me out, I had to be creative." I knew that must be the situation, but it still took my breath away. "You're kidnapping me, why?" I asked breathlessly

The Badass Mafia Boss Queen BONUS CHAPTER 9 (DANGEROUS)
I swallowed, somehow having a faint idea of where all of this was going. A slight laugh escaped my husband's lips, and those damn twinkling eyes of his took me in again, like he'd just seen me and he finds me so endearing, and that look alone made my heart gallop. He placed a kiss on my shoulder. Pleasure shot through me and I inhaled sharply in response. Without warning, he threw me down on our bed. I gasped, my heart soaring when he dropped me, then bottoming out when my bare back hit the cool sheets. Hollis grabbed my bodice, and pushed it up, exposing my ass to his view. I shifted my weight back on the bed, intending to work my way closer to the middle, but before I could, he grabbed my bare legs and dragged me closer to the edge of the bed. On instinct, I grabbed the mattress to prevent myself from falling. "Hollis you..." Before I could finish my sentence, his face was between my thighs. My tummy turned over. "Oh..." When he put his mouth in my cunt, I almost
The Badass Mafia Boss Queen BONUS CHAPTER 8 (IN LOVE)
Hollis yanked off my bra and cupped my exposed skin, teasing over my nipples. My body was a complete inferno even before his lips were moving from mine.I wanted him inside of me and the release as much as I wanted my next breath. But not quite as much as I wanted to show him how much I love him and how happy he makes me.So before he could continue his kisses down my chest and toward my breasts, I pulled back, meeting his gaze, making him watch as I went down on my knees in front of him.My hands landed on his knees and slid forward up his thighs. I watched as an expression of surprise and pleasure crossed his gorgeous face.Then I reached for his fly and pulled out his thick, straining cock, pushing it into my open mouth. "Fuck, baby," he groaned, pushing his cock at the base and tracing my lower lip with his thumb. Then he pulled it out and a gush of precum sipped out. "Lick it," he demanded, holding it and my tongue moved out to trace over his head, tasting him, wetting him mor
The Badass Mafia Boss Queen BONUS CHAPTER 6 (FAMILY DINNER)
"I told you, Baby," Hollis said as we made our way to the front door after our goodbyes. "You didn’t need to be nervous." "I’m worried about my father," I admitted, linking my arm through his own."Why?" He asked, seeming genuinely interested as Nero pulled up with our car, and Hollis pushed me in before sliding in beside me. "He seems withdrawn," I told him, shrugging. "And that isn’t how my father is.""Things have taken a sudden turn and he still blames himself for all of this. He thinks he's the one that put you with me," Hollis said, shrugging."He just doesn't know that it's destiny. One way or the other, we were bound to be together. Don't worry, next time, it will be better." He said. "By next time, do you mean my Mom's next birthday?" I asked, my heart sinking a little at the idea. "I meant the next family function," he replied, shrugging. "I believe there are going to be many of them.""You’re going to let me go?" I asked."Let

"Your wife?" My father came closer. "I didn't stutter. You heard me. Yes, my wife," Hollis said in a firm voice, erasing the distance between them. "Hollis..." I called, pressing a hand into his stomach. Sensing the plea in my face or my voice, his jaw loosened. "I'll go get you a glass of juice." He offered. "I'll like that," I said, nodding, giving him my silent gratitude. "I’ll be right back," he replied, squeezing me gently on the hip, before walking off. "I hoped you’d be happy to see me," I said to my father as soon as Hollis left, but I noticed that his gaze followed Hollis until he heard me speak. I didn't try to hide the vulnerability in my voice. I was upset. And I wasn’t accustomed to hiding that around my family. "Oh, my baby." My father called, his anger falling and getting replaced almost immediately with sadness. "Of course, I’m happy to see you," he started reaching for me. "Are you okay?" He asked, holding me tight
The Badass Mafia Boss Queen BONUS CHAPTER 5 (HOME)
THREE MONTHS LATER**UGOGetting out of the the Garden after months of being kept in and guarded twenty-four-seven was reason enough to put some extra care into my appearance. It's been months since I left the confines of this place. There had been dark days throughout those couple of months. Hollis wasn't always around. I knew they were trying to set things straight.But I had no idea how they were going about it, until my husband came home to me with a bullet wound. My heart almost ripped through my chest. But, he insisted he was okay. And that was the last time he ever left me home alone. "The deed has been done, everything has been taken care of." Maxine had said to me on one of his visits.I still miss Castello, terribly, painfully. His memories remained embedded in my heart.Taking a look at myself in the mirror, I smiled. We were going to see my parents, it was my mother's birthday.Of course, I wanted to look nice, not just b
The Badass Mafia Boss Queen BONUS CHAPTER 4 (All That Matters)
I was having one of those vivid dreams where I killed Hollis again. Over the time I've been at the Garden, I've had various versions of this dream. But they always end with Hollis's death. At times I pierce his heart with a dagger. Other times, it ranges from a gunshot to strangling him in his sleep. The dreams were always ending with my betrayal. My evil to him and the hurt I caused him. As usual, I woke up sobbing. Indeed there was no peace for me. Then I perceived it, his cologne, the one I checked out in his cabinet the first day I came to the Garden. A high-pitched cry escaped my lips. I'm now hallucinating and imagining the smell of fragrances, my situation was getting worse by the day and I'm not even helping matters. But, what can I do? Absolutely nothing. "Baby." I heard his voice and a sharp pain ricocheted through my heart. But when I turned around to the direction of the voice, in the dim lighting of the room, I saw a figure resembling that of Hollis standing
