“I did not know that.” My shock was entirely genuine. “So just because you didn’t marry at their will, they named you...” “The designated slut of the Vitale Crime Family.” I was about to say 'a spinster', but this was worse. I truly felt bad for her, because I was twenty-six, two years older than
ADONISI watched Abigail, sitting under a tree with her laptop on her lap and eyes stuck to the screen. It looked like she was lost deep in whatever she was reading. That was until a guy walked over to her. A guy in a blue-green jersey and shorts who was around her age.Abigail looked up at him and
That didn’t calm the flame in me. I wanted Abigail and was pretty sure would burn anyone who touched her before me. “Wow, you’re a wicked woman.”“What? I can’t have random guys call me all the time. And just look at him.” I really didn’t want to, so I turned my head to look at her while her focus r
BELLA Thankfully, the scolding session had ended two minutes ago. I couldn’t take any more of the weird stances from the waiters and waitresses while Valery fried my brains out in Italian. Last time, she had only quieted down because Cole had been there, but with only the two of us in this fancy re
“Elias Morello was in the Mafia,” I said, more to make myself believe it. Val nodded. “Not only that, but he was in the same circle as Adonis and Domenico.” “That makes no sense. Adonis has practically been turning Elias’s life into hell. How could they be friends?” “They were friends.” Val took
ADONIS A firm hold wrapped around me as soon as I entered Trentino’s mansion in the Californian suburbs. There was no mistaking that the petite figure hugging me was Savana Vitale, David’s elder one. Well, the eldest child, with Carlos gone. I rubbed her back and hit the top of her head with my chi
“You always do.” He regarded me, probably trying to read into my looks, my expressions, which he should’ve known by now was a losing game. “When Domenico extended his word, I knew it was something urgent, and I’d already expected to receive no pleasantries.” Thanks to Dom. He cut straight to the to
“I suppose you don’t want your men to find out about my involvement like last time.” “No, I think it’s important for the entire America to know this time. We need to set an example for all the men working as rats, to show them that two alphas can and will come together when it comes to uprooting a
“I should’ve killed that kid when I caught hold of Durant. That fucking bastard! Even his son isn’t any less,” Julian groaned. “He’s just a kid,” I murmured under my breath. That was what I believed. Aleksandr was a kid whose father had done terrible things and got taken away from him. He could no
BELLA Checking up on Fabi and Mamma one last time, I headed downstairs. The events had shaken everyone today. I knew I had nothing to reassure them with, not until Adonis and Matteo were back. Dante and Julian, the enforcer, were on the couch, faces smeared with tension. Julian’s phone buzzed, and
“Bombs,” someone yelled out. We lowered ourselves under the table while Adonis and his men pulled their guns out. Many men and women rushed toward the exit, trying to save their lives. I pulled Alessia closer to me and Mamma let out a heavy gasp and peeked her head out from under the table. “Don’t
“He had huge muscles and there were tattoos on his hands.” He pointed at the back of his hand. “He looked scary.” I couldn’t help but laugh at the look on his face. So pure and innocent. “You have nothing to fear,” I assured him and he stepped out of the room. “You’re the new bride.” “I am.” Ther
BELLA The outdoor reception was Ros’s idea. She loved the sight of string lights and candles, decorating almost every part of the bamboo ceiling and poles, giving the venue a light yellow touch amidst all the whites and blues. The only part I hated was that she wasn’t here to bear through the eveni
“You taste,” I scraped my teeth just below her clit and she moaned loudly, “so fucking delicious.”***BELLAOh, God! This was too much. I was riding his face, desperate to match the movements of his tongue. I wanted to hide my face in a blanket, worried about how this overwhelming need looked on me
“So hot.”There was a mix of lust, hunger and desperation in her eyes that sent blood rushing all the way to my cock strained against the harsh materials of my briefs. I pushed my hand underneath the waistband of her panties, down the mound of her sex covered in a small scruff and held her in a tigh
ADONISHelena made her way to her daughter, pulled her aside and said something to her, which made both of them laugh. They exchanged a hug and then Bella’s eyes were on me. She gave a little jerk, asking me why I was looking at her. Only if I could tell her why. She was the most beautiful woman to
I released her hand, cupped her cheeks and pressed my lips on hers, making sure everyone saw who she belonged to, who had her for the life ahead, and who would protect her if they ever thought of hurting her. I would always be there with her. As her husband. As her protector. As everything she dese
