Proserpina

My baby and I left the hospital a few weeks later. We had been ‘roomed in’ as the nurses said, using their jargon, in the ‘parenting room’ for a couple of days, to check if the little fellow would be able to cope and more to the point, would we be able to handle it? For a premature baby required a lot of care.

Lucien did not stay; he had begun to shuttle between the hospital, our home, and the Clubs. He was readying them for the opening which was to be conducted in an elaborate manner, he told me, when I asked. As always, he told me very little about his business and both of us preferred it that way. I rarely told him about my academic work; we kept our professional tasks in separate compartments. It was better that way.

As for me, I was slipping back into my old routine of working also, but to a very limited amount as my family and of course, Melissa, were onto me like tigers if I over-exerted. My friend came almost every day, to visit and to see that I was taking care of

    MajaShe stared unseeingly at the surface of the table. Maja had a job at the same school where her children were studying, the very same place where Melissa Lord was a Deputy Headteacher. Maja herself was a lowly primary school teacher. The job had been made available because James Schwartz had pulled a few strings although he had never said it. Maja knew that the man felt sorry for her but she tried to be cool and not reveal her crazy infatuation for him.Melissa Lord was now watching Maja in that cool way she had, her head tilted just slightly to the side, green eyes narrowed a little. She was dressed immaculately, in a pale purple pantsuit and sneakers. A fashion statement alright, thought Maja enviously, and the woman had the grace to carry it off with aplomb. Maja absently noted a scarf around her neck, which had slipped to reveal a hickey…*Melissa Lord cleared her throat loudly. It was evening, and the kids could be heard making a racket outside as they filtered out of the sc

It could have been worse, he thought to himself grimly.But a latent anger was growing in him. He had been led to believe something and he did not like being cheated of his dream.He smiled a crafty smile to himself as he thought of the conversation, he had had with his aunt the previous evening.

    SchwartzHe sat down to dinner at the Delano table, which was his second home, anyways. These days, Lucien Delano was kept busy with the impending opening of his exotic Club in the country and one of the attractions was, of course, the underground Fight Club, which was on a grand scale. Reminiscent of the arenas where gladiators were pitted against each other to participate in a fight unto death, Schwartz had thought, disturbed by the similarity. But the Mafia Don had insisted that he wanted the rawness, the primitive feel brought alive. Schwartz doubted whether his wife would come close to agreeing with the Boss. Proserpina was sensitive and a classy lady, an academician in her own right. How the two stayed together despite their totally different personalities was a mystery that Schwartz had stopped trying to solve.they were radically different but the sizzling chemistry between the two was incredible. And very much alive.*It was late in the evening and Schwartz knew that the Maf

    RiaShe went through dinner waiting for it to end even though the food was as delicious as it always was. The Don kept talking to Philippe and Schwartz during the dinner so Ria peeked around at him surreptitiously from beneath her lashes, taking in the strong, muscled physique of her only lover, the chiseled features, the strong jaw. It was only when she looked up and met her mother’s amused look that she realized that her siblings and her Mumma, had caught onto how she was ogling the Capo.She hastily lifted the glass of water and drank from it swiftly, too fast, which resulted in a coughing bout. That made everyone turn to her and mortified, she felt her face turn pink as Piers said in a low voice, “Get a hold on yourself, sis.’Her Pappa’s cold gaze rested on her and she looked away, unable to meet his shrewd, assessing regard.*Philippe was trying hard to respond correctly to the Boss but all he could think of was the girl with the shining mass of blonde hair on the other side of

    ClaudeWhen his mother summoned him to his sister’s room, he was more than a little bewildered. As was his routine these nights, he was in the room occupied by Paddy, staring at his brother who had been his sidekick all their lives. The sight of his brother, shy and unassuming, lying almost lifeless on the large bed, with tubes and bags attached to his poor, frail body, never failed to make Claude want to beat up someone.Although he did not let on to his other siblings, he talked to Paddy, and told him about everything he had been doing all day. Explained how his father was planning to fight the inaugural bouts in the Ring for the Big Fight on opening day at the Club. And how unfair that was because Claude had wanted to be doing it.He knew that Mumma made it a point to come and sit and talk to Paddy every evening for an hour, no matter how busy or how tired she was.Claude was not skeptical about that. In fact, when he was talking, he had a strong feeling that Paddy seemed to be lis

    LucienWhen he finally made it home, the first light of dawn was staining the sky a pale, heavenly indigo, heralding the approach of the new day. But the Mafia Don, was unaware of the beauty of the world of nature unfolding around him; he sat in the back of his large black sedan as it glided noiselessly along the roads, with two cars ahead and two behind him as he rubbed his hand pensively across his jaw, scraping at the thick grey stubble.His Woman used to protest when he rubbed his unshaven jaw against her skin; ‘Like being rubbed by a prickly cactus,’ she would giggle and push him away. He enjoyed the sight of her pale skin reddening under his rough caress, he thought abstractedly.Piers had come to him along with the Capo, to discuss the news they had received. He had been in his Greenroom, having already been for a bout of boxing in the Ring at the new place, for practice. Lucien Delano was a master at practicing the ‘sweet science of bruising’.As he rubbed the bruise he had re

Her large cruiser was parked neatly at the side. The guards had not let her in.Simple.They would not do so until he was back and told them it was safe to allow anyone in, even a former lover.He grinned easily as he closed the distance between them and took her in his arms, inhaling the familiar woodsy smell of her hair. She smiled up at him, the wide mouth, those high cheekbones, he remembered so well… They kissed, a long kiss, a kiss between people who were not just friends but also lovers, who cared for each other. He was still smiling as they stepped apart.She smiled, a thin smile, for Aiyana Laughing Water was not a person given to effervescent smiles. ‘I missed you.’ She said and those words, that short phrase conveyed so much. He grinned back, favouring her with his rakish smile and nodded.‘Let’s get you inside.’ He said an

    ProserpinaWhen Lucien threw open the passenger door of his large black SUV, one among his fleet of bullet proof vehicles, and which was standing, waiting for us at the door, I tried to turn to him. But he had forcefully thrust me in and slammed the door before I knew what was happening. And then, to my astonishment, he came around and slid into the driver’s seat himself.’Belt up wh*re,’ he snarled like a man at the end of his tether, and fearfully, I obeyed him and I shrank in the seat.I had never seen Lucien drive before; had never wondered if he knew how to handle one of these large machines. But then, he turned to me, the blue-grey eyes blazing and I hastily slipped on the seat belt, fingers fumbling. My fingers were suddenly slippery and with an oath, he leaned across and tightened the safety belt, and then, we were away, roaring down the driveway.I sat, rubbing my tender wrist which was already turning red, the imprints of his fingers deep in my skin.Blinking rapidly, I gaze

    Piers's loud shout made the hall fall silent. For a minute, every head in the room swivelled to stomp in the doorway.Even Lucien Delano and Proserpina, absorbed as they were in their burning need to lose themselves in their desperate need for each other, stopped. Proserpina blinked as she turned to look, safe as she was, nestled in her lover’s strong embrace. And the Mafia Don scowled in annoyance, muttering,“What is with that fool boy?’Piers whipped his head to face his parents across the room, an arm around Hila, holding her to his chest as he cried, "Mumma! Pappa!’And when he was hurrying to them, his eyes were wild with excitement as he cried in joy, dragging his lover beside him,‘I…you… I mean… Mumma, I’m going to be a dad!”Proserpina was out of her husband’s protective arms as her son whooped and threw his arms around her, laughing with him. Lucien watched drily as Claude and Ria immediately crossed to him, pulling him into a huddle. Tara joined them, and after a pause, so

    LucienHe began to make his way slowly through the milling throng of his guests to where his Woman was standing, in a daringly backless gown, her beautiful body making his staff harden with desire. Ria and Tara had chosen the slinky gown for her. When Proserpina had protested in embarrassment, her hands on her pink cheeks, the girls had declared,‘Mumma! Even after eight kids, you still look WOW!’It had been one of those rare weekends when Tara had come home. Ria had little Jamie on her lap, jiggling the fat little girl who was cooing at her Pappa, for the Mafia Don was hands down, her favourite person. Jamie was the apple of the Don’s eye, as Ria often teased her father.Lucien, who had been in the bedroom working on his phones and tablet, had been watching them in amusement.After the heart attack, mild though it had been, he had taken to spending time at home, working from his office or sometimes, his spacious bedroom.‘Please…but it’s BACKLESS!” Proserpina had gone on, her eyes m

    A love like the kind her parents shared was almost like a fairytale…She sighed and touched her small belly. Big Philippe placed his large warm hand over hers and whispered concernedly in her ear,“Princess?”She looked up into his dark eyes and felt the rush of affection, of love that kept them bound to each other. Philippe, the Capo would bring the Moon and place it at her feet if she asked for it, she thought and unmindful of the crowds milling around her, the sound of glasses clinking, the chatter of people as, Ria reached up and pulled his head down. Murmuring against his lips,‘Philippe Diaz, I love you,” as she kissed him.***Piers Delano was staring at his phone. His mind was on other matters, although he had turned up for the party after his twin’s wedding ceremony. It had been a brief ceremony; Philippe had been born a Catholic, so there had been a small wedding service at Church.

The two of them work in tandem, Paddy with his enviable skills on the computers, has managed to make the Fight Clubs very lucrative indeed! thinks the Don.The Mafia Don is still actively handling the matters of his mob, which has branched out to become a powerful organisation, but one that is totally against human trafficking.

    LucienHe looked at his Woman fondly. She was on the bed, her head lowered to the baby at her nipple, the little child whose brown curls were bobbing as she sucked hard at her mother’s swollen teat.Proserpina wore a look of divine bliss, and Lucien moved over to her, taking her chin in his hard grip and kissing her.It was all he could do, for she had been spending almost a month at the hospital now. A month during which the Mafia Don had practically lived in the hospital too, his only concern being his Woman.And of course, the littlest child of his, who had charmed him already, though she was too small, too tiny to utter a word. Yet she could be ear-splittingly loud, too!He found himself staring in wonder as the baby yawned, exposing her small toothless gums, pink in colour, as he watched her face adoringly. And when Proserpina laughed at him, at the way he fawned over his youngest daughter, the Mafia Don growled at her, his eyes hungrily wandering over her.“Woman, I want to bree

    RiaShe was running down a corridor that stretched out endlessly. The sound of the man’s footsteps thundering after her made her pant in fear. He was after her. She stumbled and fell, picked herself up, and kept running, her hands reaching out in the dark for some door, some way out of this place. And then, suddenly, out of the blue, she grabbed a shirt sleeve.The face of the man looked up in front of her.She screamed as Dusak’s face appeared out of the gloom, grinning maniacally.He had blood pouring down his forehead and a large hole in his cheek where he had been shot. But he opened his mouth and spoke in a guttural voice she knew she had heard before.“LOVELY Ria, my Ria, I am going to be with you forever now...'He reached out a long skeletal hand with talons, and that was when Ria screamed.Dusak Rudenko began shaking her throat ungently, and she felt a gurgle of panic erupt within her. A deep fear, unnamed and unknown.And then Philippe’s voice came into her consciousness, be

    Lucien stood, staring in shock as a beaming Camille reached out to hand over the little baby to him. He stared in confusion for he had never held any of his newborn kids; it was a first for him.But even as he hesitated, the little child, its skin pink and puckered, a thatch of dark hair on its tiny head, opened one eye and looked at him quizzically an eyebrow raised questioningly, weighing him up critically so to speak, before shutting her eye firmly and ignoring the people around her, her mouth blowing a red raspberry pout.Ria and the other children began to laugh as Lou cried, with a shout of laughter,“Pappa, Sir, she is not impressed by you!’But it was Ria who declared, wonderingly, as she leaned against Lucien, who was holding the precious bundle cupped to his chest fiercely,“Pappa, I think she has Mumma’s colouring!”***ProserpinaI opened my eyes slowly. It felt as though there were weights holding my lids down. It had been a dream that seemed to go on forever, tumultuous

  • The Mafia Don's Obsession   “Here is your newest daughter.’

    Lucien looked around at his family who were in the large waiting room. The younger boys, Dom and Lou, were piled on a sofa, their mouths open as they snored softly; Tara was curled up in an armchair with Aiyana beside her, an arm draped protectively around the child. The ex-FBI woman sat, her legs folded elegantly even in sleep.James Schwartz was sitting in another chair while the Capo dozed uncomfortably, Ria’s golden head on his lap, Rudy nestled beside her. Lucien’s face softened slightly as he looked at James. As though his thoughts had touched his second in command, the Scotsman stirred and stretched, sitting up, alert in an instant.He looked around himself and met Lucien’s eyes, an unspoken look passing between them.Snoring loudly, Claude was sprawled in abandon, sleeping on a mattress someone had thoughtfully provided, which was spread on the floor, his arms thrown wide, while Paddy had chosen to settle in an armchair close to the corridor leading to the theatre door, positi

    She mumbled,"Yes Sir...' and her molten brown eyes, clouded with desire and want, with pain and pleasure, misted over as she looked at him, beseeching him to release her from her need.Her absolute submission aroused him tenfold, and the big man growled shakily, for the sight of her large breasts with the evil clamps fastened to her tender nipples was too much for him.“I shall f*ck your t*ts today, wh*re,’ he said hoarsely, "to punish you. Pain, wh*re, and pleasure."She made a sound, her breasts wobbling as she tried not to shift too much, but he lowered his head to sink his teeth into the fleshy mounds savagely, and she cried out.He tugged lightly at the clamps with his teeth, and she met his eyes, her own filled with tears of pain but she dimpled slightly as she said breathlessly,'Master... I am yours, Lucien Delano..."He grunted.F*ck, but he could never have enough of this delectable offering laid before him: this lush body, the thighs wet with her want, her shining pink c*n
