ARIANA ROSSI RELATIVES LIKED TO SHOW off no matter the given event. It didn't matter that it was a funeral. Or that said dead man was their cousin five times removed. I'd seen about five women donning expensive Cartier bracelets and diamond necklaces that cost more than a year's rent in New York, while they wailed loudly over a man they knew next to nothing about. Especially one who deserved his death. Of course, not a single tear slipped down their eyes. Whimpers, loud wails, sniffles, and sobs they could do while holding a crumpled Kleenex to their eyes, but they wouldn't be caught dead ruining their flawless make-up. Papà wasn't a good man, and that was a truth I'd carried with me for years. Perhaps that was why I couldn't manage a single tear at his funeral. Or maybe it was just because I found crying... unnecessary. The deed had already been done. The smartest thing to do was to move on. I cringed when another loud wail filled the air, this one accompanied by snorts in bet

ALEKSEI “YOU ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT TO this family.” Those were my father’s first words the moment I accepted his call. My jaw worked in anger, but I remained silent, letting him get all his anger and frustration out because this time, I did fuck up. “Is this how you plan to take over when I step down?” He spat, his voice deep with anger. He then proceeded to spew rapid-fire Russian at me, displeasure rolling off every syllable. I heaved a sigh, checking the time on my wristwatch to see how much longer I had to endure this form of torture. We still had about ten more minutes to go before he decided he’d said enough.I zoned him out, trailing my fingers over the paperweight on my desk, doing anything at all to distract myself from this one-sided conversation. I mentally listed off all the work I had to get done tomorrow while my father’s voice buzzed incessantly in my ear. He could talk for days, that one. “Do you understand?” He paused to ask as if sensing I wasn’t listening to a

ALEKSEI The Italians couldn’t make it any more obvious that they didn’t want us here. It was comical. Really. I leaned back in my seat, eyeing the fuming man in front of me lazily, knowing there was shit he could do about this current situation. I had the documents to prove it, and he had… rage. As I said—comical. “This is bullshit!” Matteo Rossi spat, his eyes blazing with unbridled fury. It was time for round two, it seemed. If looks could kill, he would have obliterated my brother and me, but alas, it couldn’t. “It’s business,” I corrected. “You don’t have to like it to do it. Didn’t your daddy teach you that?” I asked, sinking my teeth into the corner of my bottom lip, knowing I’d hit a nerve. What? Sometimes, I liked to stir shit up, too. Too bad, I wasn’t here to cater to a made man’s feelings. I was here to get my empire back under control before Igor got any more asinine ideas. “Get out!” He hissed, his gaze burning with fury. “He’s dead. We don’t have to do shit!” M

ARIANA I JUST FINISHED DRESSING UP, and I was running a comb through my hair when I heard a knock on the door. It was probably one of my brothers coming to check up on me. I knew how much they were worried that the latest turn of events would affect me. I walked toward the door and pulled it open, bringing me face-to-face with the man who murdered my father. Without thinking, I threw myself into his arms, squeezing the living daylight out of him. He had no idea how much he’d relieved me after killing my father. I had tears in my eyes for the first time in years when I heard the news of Papà’s death. A burden had finally been lifted off my shoulders because of him. His arms came around me a second later as a deep chuckle spilled from his lips. “Oh, I didn’t expect that.” I only squeezed him tighter, and when I felt like I’d shown enough gratitude, I pulled back, stepping away from the doorway to usher him into my room. He walked in, looking so out of place in my bedroom as he pl

ARIANA I SAT QUIETLY ON THE SOFA, watching Matteo pace back and forth in the living room, his shoulders tense. Mamà sat beside me, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed quietly. The Made men and the Russian brothers had left over an hour ago, but Mamà and Matteo still hadn’t gotten over the new development of things. I couldn’t blame them. I was still reeling from everything that had happened. “Matteo, sit down, and let’s talk about things,” Enzo finally said with a tired sigh. Matteo paused briefly to address Enzo. “There’s nothing to discuss. We’re not giving Ari away to them.” “Uncle Frederico is right. We will lose everything.” “Uncle Frederico has no right to talk. Do you think he’d give up his daughters so easily if he were in our shoes?” “We don’t know that. Let’s stop making up hypotheticals.” Matteo scowled down at Enzo. “So, you’re willing to give Ari over to those Bratva bastards?” “Until we can come up with a solution, there’s nothing we can do. This hit us smack

ALEKSEI I STILL HAD A SMILE ON MY face as I tidied up work in my office later that day. Ariana was an enigma. I found her amusing, and that was the last thing I’d expected the day I walked into her father’s mansion. She came as a surprise. A pleasant one. And spoiled, too. I’d done some research on my wife-to-be, and she hadn’t been lying when she implied she lived a luxurious life. It was unsurprising for a Cosa Nostra princess. One whose father had the second-largest stake in their family business before his death. They liked to pamper their daughters until marriage, while their sons were thrust into a world full of blood, betrayal, and guns. She also owned a bridal couture store with a list longer than Hell’s. Her dresses were sought after by the elites in New York. It was safe to say she’d made a name for herself without the backing of her family. Her work spoke for itself. Those were my assistant's words, not mine. He'd done the research on my behalf. “You look like a lov

ARIANA"Currently my type is a blonde, five-foot-four spitfire. Kind as fuck, too stunning for this world, gets mad for my sake. What's not to love?"My breath hitched in my chest. I didn't miss his less than subtle use of the L-word."Also, her protectiveness turns me the fuck on, and her nonchalance after she gets called out on it is even better. And that smart mouth of hers..." he trailed off."And what about it?""I could listen to it talk about the most mundane things, and I still wouldn't get tired of listening to her sweet voice."I released the shaky breath I was holding. I didn't realize those were the things he thought of me, and I'd be lying if I said I was unaffected by his words. "Currently?""Hm?""You said currently. Are you looking to change your type again?" "Depends. Is she going to dye her hair a different color again?""Maybe?" I hid my smile."Then the list will be updated." His lips hovered over mine seductively. "Do

ARIANAI STIRRED OUT OF my slumber, slowly blinking my eyelids open to take in my surroundings.Where was I?This didn't look like my bedroom, and neither did it look like Aleksei's. For some reason, I was also sore. What the hell happened last night?I pushed my hair out of my face, trying to sit up on my bed, but a thick arm around my waist prevented me from doing so, pulling me closer into a muscular, warm body."Where are you going, baby?" Aleksei's sleepy mumble drifted into my ears as he buried his face in my neck, tightening his grip around my waist."Nowhere."Memories from last night played in my head like a movie.Aleksei picking me up from Niko's house; me asking him to fuck me, and then him bringing us to this penthouse. The remaining details didn't need to be recounted in my head. My body could feel it.I buried my face in my palm, groaning quietly as my words from last night bombarded my head. I couldn't believe I'd said half the thi

ALEKSEI I LET MY EYES briefly fall shut as I slid in to the hilt, burying myself deep in her warm heat. Her walls tightened around my cock despite her not having full control of her body yet, and she whimpered softly, clawing at the sheets. It was hard to tear my eyes off her face. She was flawless in every sense of the word from her long lashes that spilled over high cheekbones to her full lips parted with pleasure, to the slight pinch between her perfectly arched brows. I lowered my lips to her forehead, softly kissing the wrinkle between her brows away. Her cheeks flushed a slight pink, and she tried turning her face away from me. This woman. I just made her come twice, once on my tongue and once around my cock. Yet she still blushed over a little kiss on her forehead, like I didn't have my cock inside of her right now, fucking her to the brink of another orgasm. I smiled to myself. Of course, she got shy over a kiss lik

ARIANAMY BACK ARCHED OFF the bed as he thrust in slowly, filling me inch by excruciating inch until I was sure I'd explode if I took any more of him."Fuck," I cried out, hiding my face in the crook of his neck as pain seared through my body.Aleksei stopped moving. "Don't look away from me, Solnyshko. I want to see your face." His fingers sank into my hair, gently pulling my head back. Worry filled his eyes when they clashed with mine. "Tell me how you feel.""Full," I admitted. "It hurts a little.""That's just the tip, baby. Are you sure we shouldn't stop?"My eyes rounded into saucers. "Just the tip?"I looked down at where we were joined, and my jaw dropped.Oh, fuck. He wasn't lying.God, I knew he was huge - I'd felt it in my palms when I touched him - but I didn't expect him to be that huge that I mistook just a few inches for the entire length of his cock.Nonetheless, I shook my head, even though I damn well knew I was dancing with

ALEKSEII RECLAIMED HER LIPS as we stumbled into the private elevator, absentmindedly punching at the buttons to take us to the penthouse at the top of the building.Ariana's arms wound around my neck, pulling me down so she could kiss me harder. I obliged easily, cupping her ass to hold her against me as she devoured my lips with the same fervor."Open," I groaned against her mouth, teasing the seam of her lips with my tongue.Fuck, I needed to taste her again. After last night, her lips and tongue were permanently imprinted on mine.Her taste hadn't left my mouth, and with every hour that passed, I feared if I took too long, I'd forget what it felt like to have her tongue in my mouth, gliding softly against mine.I'd deemed kissing as unnecessary, and as such the action never appealed to me, but one kiss and I was hooked like a crack whore on cheap heroin.I'd never cut a work trip or a business meeting short before, but not only had I cut a meeting sho

ARIANA "STOP!" I jumped out of my seat, taking the tray out of Giselle's hands as she approached me. Her smile faltered. "What? Did I do something wrong?" "Not at all!" I guided her to a chair, waiting until she took her seat before I placed the tray on the coffee table. "I'd rather you not stress yourself because of me. You're pregnant." She huffed out a laugh. "Oh, that. You're just as dramatic as Niko, if not worse. Scratch that. No one is as dramatic as him." She looked down at her stomach. "It's just a tiny bump. I don't get why everyone is freaking out." "Niko is right. You are carrying a human inside of you. You need to rest." "Technically, it's still a fetus. And according to the doctors, doing some cardio here and there doesn't hurt." "How many times did you go over that argument with Niko?" She groaned, throwing her head back against the couch. "Five and still counting. He won't liste
