ADONIS When I opened my eyes, my body went taut. Abigail wasn’t in bed. I looked around the room, only to find her at the edge of the bed with her arms holding her legs close to her chest, her body still naked. She had her face tilted to the side on her own shoulder. I remembered snuggling with h
“There are only a few circumstances in history where a consigliere has been named Capo. How did he think he could make it happen, especially with so many other Vitales out there?” “My uncle would’ve never named one of his cousin’s sons as an heir. Elias knew that and I was never a threat to him bec
“What other bond is there besides marriage?” Dom questioned while I stared at Matteo with my brows pressed tight. Matteo unbuttoned his suit and leaned back in his seat. “There’s no other than marriage, and I doubt there ever will be. At least, not in the next two generations.” Matteo was unmarrie
BELLA My papa had once told me that one must pay their debts and the price for their sins in the same lifetime. I had never had use of that... until today. I had no regrets about sleeping with Adonis or knowing him, or coming into his life in the first place. What I regretted was having everything
My jaw twitched. “Brooklyn. Not the same place.” Cole smirked. “Yes, we were there, but we came here to tell you something.” “Hm.” He swung around on his swivel chair to face us and said, “It better be important if it’s in the middle of a job. You know I don’t enjoy hearing from agents in between
I hadn’t thought of it. “What are you doing?” I questioned, seeing Cole’s attention fixed on the desktop screen. “Suddenly I lost the urge to know,” I confessed. “Someone from the higher authorities, you say?” “Found it!” Cole squealed, making my heart lurch out. “The clientele details are messy he
ADONIS The meeting with Matteo yesterday left me unsettled. I wanted to ram someone’s head into a fucking gutter. Marriage for an alliance? Even the thought of it pissed me. Dom had asked Matteo if we could offer someone else’s hand, but that fucking asshole had refused. He wanted me, the capo of
I trailed my lips down to her perfect neck and licked her pulse point, making her clutch her free hand on the back of my head. My cock throbbed painfully and twitched under her hard strokes. “This top is beautiful.” Her eyes snapped open and met mine. I held the zip of her top and slid it down, her
“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
