Isadora's POV
-Weeks Later-Working here isn't so bad. Sure people test my patience, wink and whistle at me all day long, Somtimes try to get a good slap on my ass, but I learned and adapted pretty fast. Three weeks of working and I knew the routes of the tables in the first half of the first shift I'm getting pretty good tips too. Every now and then I stop and talk to Josie before she has to get back on stage. Cass took his time to warm up to me but eventually I got him to come out of his shell. I stomped up to the bar and slammed the tray onto the counter."Frustrated kitty cat?" He chuckled."I hate fuck boys. Always thirsty, but never for drinks." I rolled my eyes and let out an irritated sigh. "More shots please Cass." He nodded and filled ten shot glasses full of tequila. "If they ever get handsy. you let me know." He tossed the rag over his shoulder and folded his arms."My hero!" I lightly squealed in my most girly voice pussible. Tanning myself and putting the back of my hand to my forehead. He laughed."Seriously though I'm not just the bartender. I'm also the bouncer,""You're a twig, I'm pretty sure even I could take you." I laughed. He gave me a smile that made me shiver. "Black belt in Muy Thai and fiteen years training in MMA." He popped his knuckles and his neck. (Mixed Martial Arts)"I retract my previous statement." I said raising my hands in surrender. He laughed and went back to work. Rafeal's POVShe's perfect. Sitting in one of the lounge chairs, I have a really good view of the main floor, the stage and the little kitten. I watch her obliviously walk past me as she carries the tray back and forth from table to table. That perky round ass bouncing with each step."Hi daddy" Brianna cooed as she steps into my view. She's been here since we opened a few years back. She's cutc and all but I see her as nothing more than an easy lay. I catch a glimpse of kitten walk over to a table behind the stage. Out of my sight. I sigh and try not to lose my cool with this slut standing before me. "You better have a good reason for disturbing me." I said staring at her."You look tense. Maybe I can help you relax. You know how good I am with my tongue." She put her hand on my chest and slowly moved it towards my pants. I grab her wrist just before she gets there."No." I shove her hand away and she scoffs."You've never once denied ne, why now !? Are you with someone else !?" She hollers.I don't tolerate disrespect from anyone. I won't put up with temper tantrums either. I stood up and grabbed her by the throat, slarnming her agaisnt the wall behind me. She began to shake as I stared her down. Her eyes widened with fear. My father told me that warnings are for slackers. Real men make their point clear the first time around. "I am your fucking boss. Yes we fucked a few times but you still work for me. If you ever raise your voice or question me again, I'll put a bullet in your head. Do you understand?" I stayed clam, Most of the time that scares them even more. Suddenly the sound of screaming Catches my attention."Let go of me asshole!" I let go of Brianna who falls to the floor gasping for air. I get kitten in my sights and see some punk with his hand gripped firmly around her waist, trying to pull her into his lap. Big mistake buddy that is not yours to touch. I calmly walk over and grab his wrist hard, bending it backwards. Not enough to break it, but damn close. He cries out and immediately lets go of kitten."Hey man! Let me go" He shouts. "Touch her again and I will break your wrist," I stated darkly adding a little more pressure to drive my point home, making him wince."I'm sorry Shiv i didn't know man! Pleasel" He begged.I love it when they notice who I am and panic. Lets me know that my presence still has the desired effect. I let go of him and turn to kitten. Gently grabbing her arm and examining her."You okay kitten?" I asked looking her over. She nodded looking at me with those big green eyes and soft pouty lips. She looks innocent at first glance but that foul mouth and spunky atitude of hers tells me she has a naughty side .. and I wanna taste that side of her so badly."Thank you," She said softly as she pulls away from me and walked back to the bar. I must say the view was fantastic. Isadora's POVSo he does have a soft side. But why did he stop me? I was so close to yanking that fuck boy out of his chair and beating the shit out of him. Although. I have to admit .. his take charge game was hot. I flash him a small smile before walking back to Cass who is also Smiling, Fuck. I know he can see me blushing."Catch a glimpse of the show?" I asked rolling my eyes."Preety much yeah. Looks like he's taken a fancy to you." Cass points behind me and I see him sit down in a lounge chair in a dark corner.He takes out a cigarette, lights it snd stares at me hard. Like he's starving and just found his next meal. I shudder and try to clear the dirty thoughts in my head. He's our boss that would be not only weird, but highly inappropriate. I wonder why he called him Shiv. I turn back to Cass."Who is Shiv?" I asked. Cass looks up and shakes his head nervously."Careful where and how loud you say that." He whisper yellls.Hmm interesting. Seems I have stumbled upon a secret."Who is that?" I ask again leaning closer to him."The Shiv is a strict nickname that was given to Rafael." He said, going back to making drinks "Why?" "Cause he's damn good with a blade.""You mean like." I imitate the motion of stercorypically prison shanking someone and he lets out a deep laugh. "You are too cute." "Oh come on! Don't hold out on me. Please?" I beg and give him my best puppy dog eyes."Sorry doll, no can do. If you want to know, ask the boss himsclf." Right like he'd ever tell me. I sigh and roll my eyes. "Hey Kitty! Hey Cass! What'd you think?" Josie hollered sauntering up to the bar with confidence."Great performance tonight J." Cass claps"Thank you. Thank you!" She looks around for a moment, then a creepy grin appears on her face."How long has Rafacl been staring ar her?" She asks turning to Cass. "Six hours." He wiggled his eyebrows and smiled. Josie gasps and giggles.I look back and there he was still scaring at me, leaning back in his chair, puffing on his cigarette. He's not just looking at me though he's thinking. I can see the gears turning from here. The way his eyes squint as he looks at my legs. The look makes my body say "Touch me!" but my brain is screaming "Stop it!" No dirty thoughts about your hot mouth warering panty soaking boss. I push the thoughts out completely and replaced them with logic."He's not looking at me, he's just watching over the club." I said turming back to them."It's cute, borderline annoying how innocent you are." He laughs. I flip him off."I'll tell you what's annoying him calling me kitten all the time. I told him my name was Kitty. Which by the way .." I glare at Josie. "Never again going with any of your suggestions." "I think it suits you .. kitten." She mocks me and giggles. I flip her off too."Come on, I wanna go home. I need a shower, Some ice cream and my bed." I nod. "Night Cass." We said walking to the door."Night girls." He replied, waving. Rafael's POV I walked over to Cassius, my bartender and bouncer. He's been here since the day the club opened. He was the first to get a job here. I like him because of his fighting background, and the fact that he has never once lied to me. He's one of the few people outside my family that I trust with my life."Cassius.""Hey boss, how's it going?" He asked while wiping down the bar."Who was that girl, the one walking out with Josie?""You mean the one you call kitten?" He smirks."Yes." "Her name's Isadora." He said turning and placing bottles back onto the shelves."Full name Cass.""Isadora Fiorella Cortez." Damn .. that sounds just as sexy as she looks. Can this girl get anymore perfect?"I want you to keep an eye on her.""Way ahead of you boss." He waved his hand in the air."I mean, no one is allowed to touch her. If you see someone touching my kitten, I want you to tell me immediately." He stops what he's doing and looks at me confused. Then grins like an idiot."My kitten?" He said sarcastically, using air quotes to make his point. "Mira, no me cuestionen." (Look, don't question me.) "You know I don't speak Spanish boss.""Don't question me. Just keep an eye on her." I repeated. He nodded, still grinning like an idiot."And starting tomorrow, you're learning Spanish. I'll have Javier teach you." He tipped his hat at me and finished cleaning off the bar top. I looked at my watch."Shit!" I shouted, almost tripping over my feet to get out the door. I'm late for dinner.*********The Montez Mansion Rafael's POVI walk into the house and hear mom screaming in Spanish, so I know for sure she's mad. Dad says when she's angry, her Spanish queen comes out and all hell breaking loose will soon follow."Rafael, haga entrar su culo aquí!" (Get your ass in here!)I walk into the kitchen and see my brothers and baby sister sitting at the table. My mother is tapping her foot impatiently and my father is finishing dinner."Come on in hijo, dinner is almost done." (Son) My dad said stirring whatever was in the pot on the stove. I stop by the table and kiss Mirella on the cheek."Hi Santi." She smiles."Hi princess." I smile back. I walk over to mom and kiss her cheek."You know I don't like you being late for family dinners. Family is important." She said sternly."I got caught up at the club, I'm sorry." I hear my brothers snicker and flash them my gun in my back pocket. I smile when I hear them go silent. Keep fucking with me punks."That reminds me, H
Isadora's POV - Later That Night -Coming out of the shower, I feel goosebumps envelope my body. I haven't been this nervous since I left the orphanage. I dry myself off a bit, wrap the towel around me and open the door. I see Josie on my bed overlooking the outfits I layed out. She is gonna lose her shit when I tell her I have a date. Last time I had a date, she went completely bat shit crazy. I know she's protective but trust me, she's lightened up a lot over the years. Let's just hope she doesn't ask who he is............. Come on Isadora! You know her better than that. She's a nosey little shit who must always know what's going on in everyone else's life. I sighed. I love her though and it wont be long before she gets the truth out of me."Going some where puddin'?" She asks. I try not to blush. Just spit it out quickly. No use in going through a whole episode of her ways of getting me to talk. I nearly killed her last time when she got stuck on crying. She knows exactly how to
Isadora's POV - The Montez Mansion -Why the sudden interest in me? I've been invisible all my life and now this tall, sexy tattooed man... who could have any woman at the drop of a dime, wants me? He calls me kitten, which I cant lie, I love when he calls me that. I dont know why Im fighting this so much. What's the worst that could happen? We date, have mind blowing sex, I fall to fast, he dumps me and breaks my heart? The possibility made me sigh but I quickly shook it off.I stare at him while he parks the car behind another expensive one. He takes off his seat belt, turned to me and placed his hand on my thigh."You ready?" He asked.Fuck it! If bad becomes worse, I could still say I tapped that......... who am I kidding, I would spiral and I know it. I nod eagerly, but he furrowed his brows and tilted his head to the side."Come here." He said grabbing me and lifting me onto his lap, my butt resting on the steering wheel. Pulling me closer, my butt slides across....*HONK*I co
Rafael's POV The whole ride to her apartment she sat on my lap. She was so worried about being pulled over but I kissed her on the head and told her I'm Rafael Santigo "The Shiv" Montez.... law enforcement takes one look at me and bows their heads. My father is a very powerful man with deep connections. The law doesn't interfere with business or pleasure because we pay them handsomely and support their fundraisers with donations. As I pull into a parking space and turn off the car, she wraps her arms around my neck and squeezes. I do the same and after a few minutes she lets go."Thank you." She lowers her gaze. Tsk tsk tsk... this will not do. I grab her chin and make her look at me."Don't ever hide those eyes from me. I wanna see those beautiful gems every chance I get." I watch her cheeks turn a rosy shade of pink and grin. Everything about her... everything she does or says draws me closer to her. Makes me want her more. She's becoming my drug and I'm a very needy and impatient
Isadora's POVIt's late, or if you want to be precisely accurate then it's really early. 2 am to be exact. I should be asleep but Im buzzing. I can't believe I'm in an actual relationship. 6ft 2, sun kissed tattooed skin, golden honey eyes, muscles that make you drool and a bit of a spanish accent.... and he's all mine? ...... Yes. All mine. Laying in bed, high on happiness, I hear frantic banging on my door, then I hear my name."Isadora!.... Isadora open the door! It's Javier!"Javier? What the hell is he doing here? I shoot out of bed and answer the door. I open it to reveal a blood splattered Javier breathing heavy. Why is there blood on him!?"What the fuck Javier!? Why is there blood on you!? What happened!?""You need to come with me right now!" He screamed, grabbing my arm hard and yanking me out of my apartment."Javier stop! That hurts!" I yank free and he stops, turning angrily back towards me."Rafael was shot. They're removing the bullet from his shoulder as we speak. He
Isadora's POVRafael kicked the double doors so hard it broke the mechanism that made it open by itself when you pushed the button. His eyes glazed over, sweaty and breathing heavy... technically I could say he was hyperventilating. I can't seem to find the word that accurately describes how mad he is. He storms past us with Alfonzo right on his heels. Everyone else followed."Rafael don't!" Alfonzo screamed. Completely ignored, Rafael walks out of the hospital and peels off in the SUV we came in."What happened!?" Emiliano shouted."Mom told him what Javier said to Isadora. He got mad, ripped the IV out of his arm and stormed out." Alfonzo sighed."Damnit Gabriella!""He deserves to know and Javier deserves this beat down that's coming to him! He had no right to say those thing to Isadora!" She shouts. Emiliano lets out a frustrated sigh."Gabriella, keep Mirella with you. She doesn't need to see what's about to happen. Boys, take the spare van and meet me at the house. Im taking Isa
Isadora's POVI woke up sore, but turned and saw a handsome sleeping giant next to me. Any pain I felt quickly disappeared. I did it. I gave him my virginity. Josie told me, when I first moved in with her that being a virgin at my age was rare, but nothing to be ashamed of. That when I find the right person, I should give it to him .. and I did. I don't care if he's in the mafia. I Don't care if he has hurt or killed anyone.I just want him. I silently try to slip out or bed and get yanked back against his chest."where do you think you're going?" His morning voice is so sexy. I giggle. "l was going downstairs to get some coffee. I didn't want to wake you.""I don't mind getting up." He began but I stopped him. "No, you need to rest. Sleep for a little while and I'll bring you some Coffee." I kiss him and he nods. Closing his eyes and resting back down on his pillow. ******** I walk into the kitchen and see Gabriella, Ishmael, Emiliano and Alfonzo sitting around the table ta
Isadora's POV "Kitten, let me explain." Rafael pleads. I walk over to the whore drapped over him, grab a fist full of her hair. Yank her to the floor then stand in front of Rafael. "Who the fuck do you think you are puting your hands on my man like that? I should fuck you up." "Your man !? He is not your man!" She Screams. "Did I say you could speak?" I slap her hard. "Get the fuck out of this office before I cut that pretty little face of yours." She gasps and runs out like a Scared little puppy. I turn to Rafael. He's shocked and slightly aroused. I can see the bulge in his pants get bigger.I get up closer to his face. "If I'm not allowed to be touched, then neither are you .. by anyone but me. You got that?" He smiled and nodded. I leaned in and kissed him. "That was really hot baby. I'm extremely turned on right now." H e wiggles his eyebrows at me. I grab his dick through his pants and lightly squeeze hopefully he understands my message. This is mine. His body
Rafael's POVI can't believe it. She's here, in my arms. My butterfly. I look down at her and see her eyes open. She smiles at me and my heart melts. She has her mother's eyes. I could get lost in them and wouldn't care if I found my way back or not. She had me wrapped around her finger before she was born and now that she's here, T'm a mess. She could as for anything and I would give it to her in a heartbeat. I can be cold, sadistic and down right evil sometimes but this little girl craddled in my arms turns me into a pile of play dough she can mold to her liking .. and I would let her without a second thought. "My little butterfly" I coo at her and she smiles a toothless grin at me. "You're beautiful, just like your mommy, you know that?" I kiss her nose and her little giggle makes my knees weak. she lets out a little yawn and I couldn't help but laugh. "Do you want daddy to sing to you? Granted, daddy can't sing but I would do anything for you little one:" She yawns
SIX MONTHS LATERWedding Day Isadora's POVI woke up to Rafael smiling like a goofball. He peppered my face with kisses then did the same to my belly. I feel Aurelia kick in the right spot and wince, sucking my teeth. "Ugh, you just had to wake her up." I shook my head. "Sorry baby but you do know what today is right?" Hmm lets mess with him a little bit. "A normal Saturday?" His grin turned into a frown and he glared at me. "Don't play with me like that kiten. You may be pregnant but that will not stop me from spanking that ass of yours until its glowing red. Would you like to have a bright red ass ahowing through your dress as you walk down the isle?" He smirked. "I was just teasing you." I said and he kissed me. "You're gonna wish you hadn't done that kitten. You know how I feel about you teasing me." He whispered into my neck as he lightly kissed over my weak spots he knew would make me moan and shiver. He pulled away and Isigh in frustration, rollin
TWO MONTHS LATER Isadora's POVJosie and I decided to clean out the baby's room so we could get ready to paint it as soon as we know. Rafael is dead set on us having a girl. Don't get me wrong, I don't care what the gender is, as long as he or she is healthy. "So how's things going with Cass?" I asked picking up a box of stuffed animals. "Weird." She replied putting a box down and picking up another. "Weird how?" "I don't know. I really really like him, he's sweet, attentive, he takes care of me and he's a freaking god in bed but, I miss sleeping with Nessa too. She made me feel things only a woman can. Like a girl to girl level of connection." She sighed. "Have you tried talking to him about an open relationship? He could date the both of you or you could date the both of them. Either way, knowing Cass, he's up for trying new things." I smiled. she looks down. "Im scared to bring it up. I don't want him to think he's not enough for me. He absolutely
Isadora's POV I ran all over the house looking for the boys. I finally get to the gym and see them all working out. "Whoa Isa! What's wrong?" Alie asked putting down his weights. "Gear up! Rodrigo's men took Josie and shot Cass!" I screamed with what little breath I had left. They all just nod and walk out. I go to the kitchen and see Gabriella and Nessa yelling at Cass while they stitch his arm. "Why are you not at a hospital" "I hate hospitals. I dont need to go for just being shot in the arm." Cass said wincing when Gabriella smacks the back of his head. "You're lucky I know how to stitch a wound or you would have bled out by now." She glared at him. I see Emiliano, Rafael and the boys all stocking their guns and ammo. Iwalk over to Ratael and turn him to face me. "I need a vest." "You're not going." He said turning back around and continued loading his gun. "Yes I am." "No, you're not." He growled."That is my best friend who is in this shit because of me! If
Isadora POV *BOOM * "bitch! It's wedding planning time!" Josie kicked open the door and yelled. I'm going to kill my best friend. I glance at the clock 7 AM yep, gonna kill her. I wake up yet again with Rafael's face firmly planted in my ass. Why? Why does he like doing that? He groans and blindly grabs his pillow, chucking it at Josie. It completely misses her and hits the wall, falling to the floor."Get the fuck out Josie, or I will shoot you." Rafael groans making me giggle. "Um why is his face in your ass?" She asked looking almost mortified. "I don't know. I woke up once before with him like this." I said giggling. She scrunched her face."We'll be waiting for you downstairs lovebirds", she yelled as she walked out-Few Minutes Later- I walk downstairs and see Esme, Gabriella, Josie and Nessa all talking. "Finally!" Josie huffs. "You look beautiful darling." Esme greets me. "Thank you Esme. You look beautiful too." She smiled and kissed my cheek. "How's Leo?" I
--Next Day--Ever since I sked him, he's been avoiding me. Not physically. He still holds me, kisses me and occasionally says something naughty but he is avoiding the subject. As Im finishing folding clothes, I feel two big arms wrap around me and two hands rub my stomach. "You okay baby?" He asked. I nod. I stop and turn to face him. "Are you?" I ask. He sighs. He knows exactly what I mean. "I'm afraid to tell you about that part of my life Isa. I was more monster than human back then." I sit him on the bed and took his face in my hands. "Now listen to me and hear me clearly. I don't care what you did or how you acted in the past. You are not that person anymore. Everyone has a past baby. No matter what, I'm staying right here, with you and our baby" I put his hand on my stomach and his breath hitches. I can tell he wants to cry but he doesn't. Rafael POV "I told you that when my brothers and I became of age, my father told us every man is born wi
Isadora's POV"Stop that." I said sharply to Leo while looking over my shoulder. "Stop what?" He grinned."You know what. Stop or I'll beat you with this spatula." I warn him. I finish flipping a pancake and wave the spatula in his face. He looks at Mirella confused."Tell me princess, what did I do? I was just sitting here." He says innocently. He is anything but innocent." You were staring at her. Santi doesnt like it when boys stare at her." She stated. He glared and stuck his tongue out at her, making her giggle. I set a plate of pancakes in front of her."Exactly. Thank you princess." I kiss her head and go back to the stove. He follows. Leaning on the counter top, he got that look on his face. That look that said he wanted to ask me something inappropriate."Whatever it is, the answer is no" I warned him." I didn't say anything." He said nonchalantly. I roll my eyes and stand on my tip toes to reach the cinnamon on the spice rack above the stove. I feel something hard and
Rafael's POV--The Meeting--In my world, it's considered an insult to bust into one's home or establishment and try to steal from them right in front of them. You can get killed for less. Especially of that someone you're stealing from is me. He thinks he can come into my territory and try to take what's MINE !? Wrong. So very wrong. Sitting around the table, everyone is murmuring and talking in hushed tones. I slam my fist on the table making everyone jump and fall silent. "I've let this shit slide for far too long. We fucked up the first time, but that won't happen again. This time he WILL die and it will be fucking flawless." Rafael snarls. "What happened son?" My dad asks. "Rodrigo had his men bust into my club and try to take Isadora right in front of me." "Well that was just fucking stupid." My mom huffs, folding her arms and leaning back in her chair. "A few of my marine buddies are willing to help out again if need be." Johnny adds. I nod. "Call them." He no
Isadora's POV A beautiful silver ring with two red hearts. I was stunned! I noticed an engraving on the inside of the band that read 'Rafael'. "I got this ring for a specific reason. The two hearts represent, my heart and soul which are yours forever. The color red represents the fire you ignite inside me everytime I look at you." He slipped the ring on my finger and lifted me up to his chest. "I asked my father before I got shot, how he knew my mother was the one. He said when he looked at another woman, he felt nothing like what he felt for my mom. She stole his heart and soul and he didn't want them back from her. Well baby, you stole mine and I never want them back. So I put them on a ring where you can always have them with you. Even if I'm not physically there." He smiled. I couldn't hold back the tears and sobbed into his neck. How did I get so lucky? "Use your words kitten."" I love you. I love you so much Rafael! "Igrabbed his face and kissed him hard. He burried
