I had chosen to wear something corporate, but comfortable, so I had gone for a pair of loose pants, a chiffon button down shirt, no necklace, just earrings, and a pair of comfortable high heel.Alberto had said there would be a meeting on my first day. And while my father may not have been my favorite person, I didn't want to disappoint him. Board or not, this was the mafia. Everyone sitting around that table, had one rank or the other in the underworld, and there was no way I could cower in front of them."You are early." my dad said, too cheerfully for my liking."Have I ever been late to an appointment before?" I hated tardiness. It was a habit he had successfully instilled in me."You don't need to answer a question with a question. Besides, it's simply a complement." Alberto pulled out his cigar, and I scrunched my nose."That thing can kill you, you know." I chos
LUCAI stumbled into the basement room in the house, feeling mad at myself, and trying not to get lost in my thoughts until I knew I was truly alone.I peered around the room, making sure no one was in sight, before walking back to the door and locking it.There and then, I released a shuddering breath, before staggering my way towards a chair that was all too familiar to me.The softness of the old antique leather chair was like a warm embrace and I sank into it, relishing the feel of coziness it gave me.My head was heavy. My eyes hurt like hell. And my chest, it felt lik something huge was placed on it, crushing it, and almost cutting out the air in my lungs.I stayed in the position for a few moments, trying to get my breath back and block all my thoughts for as long as possible, until I couldn't anymore.The thoughts rushed in like a prisoner released into freedom.Elena.With each time I allowed my self get close to her. Something inside me gave way. And I wasn't sure I was liki
ELENAThe feel of the cool floor underneath my knees was a weird sensation that only added to the thrill of what was to come.I had been testing Luca's limit when I had sent those clothes back. But even if I had known I was going to get a reaction from him, I hadn't expected it to be..this.Liquid heat gathered in between my thighs as my eyes leveled with the bulge in his trousers, and my mouth suddenly felt dry and empty.I wanted.. I wanted.... heck.. I didn't know exactly what I wanted."Eyes up here." Luca hissed, walking closer to me, and making it difficult to look up at him without tilting my neck upwards. My lips parted slightly as I took in his form which was now bigger, from my position on the ground. "Good." he reached for my chin, and cupped it, carressing my lower lips with his thumb.I could see his gaze darken, and wondered just what was going on in his head."I've been wanting to do this." Luca was saying. "...for the longest time, Elena." he stepped forward, his legs
LUCATo say I was exhausted, was to say the least.I made my way back into the house, leaving Alessandro and Dante to deal with the mess in the west wing.Somehow, Luke had gotten a hold of a peice of broken bottle, and slit his wrist with it, killing himself. The thing that marvelled all of us was, it would have been easier for him to escape, because we had left him untied in his cell. There were many scenarios in my head about how differently the whole thing would have gone.Not just this.The plan had been to send his body back if he wsn't willing to answer any of our questions. But I wanted to do the honours myself.I nodded to Samuel who had taken a permanent postion below the staircase, but not far enough that he couldn't see Elena's door. Another thing that got on my nerves. I knew she didn't want a bodyguard, but the woman was stubborn as hell, when all I was doing was for her own protection!I made my way into my temporary bedroom that was fast becoming permanent, and went s
ELENAI frowned as I saw every one of the De Santis men make thier way out of the house in a hurry, with Hakeem leading the way.I had in my anger, matched downstairs, and stumbled into the biggest library I had ever seen, that looked like something straight out of a fairytale movie.It was so beautiful, and filled with so many books. I had been taking a mental note of how many sections it had, when I heard the muffled sound of footsteps. And I knew I only heard it because I had left the door partially open. I hadn't bothered to go out the door to check incase I ran into Luca, and instead, went to the large window. That's when I saw all of them hastily make their way down the garden, and through a small iron gate I had never noticed before. In fact, I was sure if I hadn't seen them go through the gate, I wouldn't have realized there was anything there.Suspicion gnarled through me. And curiousity too.Why did they all look agitated, and what was through that gate that had them all r
ELENA"The answer is no, Elena." Luca said, even before I finished speaking.My chheks burned, from annoyance and frustration. I had come home, only for Hakeem to tell me he was waiting for me in his study. And he had been. Sitting, with his chest bare, nad his mouth stuffed with his cigar, looking every bit the dangerous don he was.And attractive as hell, but I wasn't falling for that. Not now when all I wanted to do, was wrap my hands around his neck and strangle the hell out of him."I wasn't asking for your persmission, Luca. I was simply leting you know about what I have agreed to do." I stated, matching his cold tone.Oh...two could definitely play this game. And I was more than ready to do so.To my right, both of his brothers, Alessandro, and Dante sat, quiet as hell, in the awkward tension in the air. Danted had gotten up to leave when I had entered, but Luca had waved him off, telling him that he was going to be quick, as they had far more important things to talk about.I
ELENASmall droplets of rain hit my skin as I walked really fast, into the huge office building that belonged to my father. First off, everything in me had screamed not to indulge him and just let whatever it is he had for me be. I wasn't sure I needed anything more from the man who had gradually become a stranger to me in the past years.I smoothed my hand over my slightly damp hair, hoping to spread the moisture so it dried up faster, and nodded at the receptionist who greeted me.Behind me, I could feel and hear the presence of Samuel. Big bulky Samuel. I had spoken to Luca long enough to tell him that I had a meeting with Alberto. To which he had voice his instant disapproval, but after much begging, had finally allowed me to leave but with Samuel in tow.Speaking of Luca, he hadn't come home and had not said anything about it, when I had asked."Thank you." I murmured to Samuel as he punched the button that would take us to my father's floor. I didn't care to ask him how he knew
ELENAMy eyes fluttered open ever so slowly, and I rolled over to my side on the bed that literally felt like a cloud, underneath me. My body, although I could feel some aches in my joint, hummed deliciously. I blinked, clearing my slightly blurred vision as I focused on two blue birds perching on the window, chirping adorably. The reminded me of cinderella.I blinked again, then sighed as I rolled on to my back, then stretched my sore muscles, in a bid to release the tension in them. My eyes zeroed in on the patterns on the ceiling tha looked really different from what I was used to in my bedroom.My bedroom...Memories of what I had done with Luca rushed into my mind, causing my cheeks to burn. I quickly turned to the other side, half-expecting to see Luca laying there, on the other side of the bed. But I was equally disappointed, and happy he wasn't.I lifted the sheet over me head, as more and more of the memories came.Oh dear...We had finally made love.The man had been bothe g
LUCAAnd I did.I took her lips in the softest of kisses, covering her lips in mine, and drawing in her bottom lips.She tasted like fruit... sweet, wet, and soft.I slipped my hands around her waist, pulling her in so her body was plastered againt mine. The soft material of her robe against me was like a stimulant, teasing my skin. The raw need in me was primal, and something I had never felt before. Before meeting her.I needed to bury my cock in her pussy. I couldn't put it off any longer. The chase, the denial, the ache, it was too much. Even for me. She was my wife. Mine.Last night, after speaking to Alberto, I and Dante had gone to get some drinks, and a bimbo had made her way to me. I could have taken her. Fucked her to release all these tension inside of me, but the moment her skin had touched mine, I had realized I wanted no one else, but the woman in my arms.Elena's fingers slipped into my wet hair. She curled her fingers around a handful, and pulled tight in a way that ma
ELENA"You will not disobey me, Elena. You will marry him."Those were the words of my father, Don Alberto Ricci, and they echoed loudly in my mind like I had just been slapped in the face.When he had called me that morning, I should have known that something was off. Don Alberto had done everything possible to ignore his only child in the last few years, that I had given up on thinking I actually had a father."I will do no such thing, Father." I hissed, gritting my teeth as anger pulsed through my veins. "It is funny how you think I will just sit here and let you sell me off to the highest bidder!""Well, that highest bidder is my only chance at being on the stronger side of this war, Elena, and you will marry him." He moved closer, his eyes blazing. There were few times my father had shown me this side of him, and this, compared to all those times, was the worst."No—" The word had just left my mouth when a slap landed on my face, cutting off the air in my lungs.Pain coursed throu...
