EMILY’S POVWhen Dominic left the room, I collapsed onto the bed. My body was still shaking from the aftermath of what had just happened. Not just from the intense climax, but from the anger I was feeling. I could not believe that Dominic had used my craving for him to make me do his bidding. What upset me more was the fact that I was not as angry about it as I should be. In fact, I really liked how he took and owned my body. Somehow, Dominic had sucked me into his dark and twisted world. What he did was not okay so why did I enjoy it so much? I hated how much power that he held over me. I hated the fact that he was right. I had experienced him so much that the thought of being without him caused me pain. The thought of leaving him and going back to my old life in America—if there was even a life to go back to felt hollow. But even though the way that he had used my desires to manipulate me was something that I was not going to let go of. That man was insufferable. I got up and put
DOMINIC’S POVJust as I walked into my new estate on the island, my phone began to ring with a call from an unknown number. I answered it immediately and a voice that I did not recognize came through the phone. “This is not over, Dominic Moreno. You killed my father, and for that, I will kill you.” The voice said and hung up before I could make sense of what was happening. I knew that it had something to do with the Black Bloods. “Barry! I need you to look into the Black Bloods. I need every information on their new leader.” I ordered. He nodded and then left immediately. When I looked up from my phone, I saw Emily staring at me. I knew she had heard my conversation and she wanted to know what I was going to do, but she was not going to ask.The whole flight, she did not say a single word to me, not even when I had spoken to her directly. When I tried to touch her, she pulled away from me and that had angered me, but I kept it to myself. I knew she was still trying to come to terms
EMILY’S POVI had just slipped into bed, prepared to go to sleep when Dominic walked into the room. I had not seen him in over three hours since we had spoken in the living room and I was relieved. I was tired of fighting with him and his domineering attitude made me feel like I was suffocating. I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep so I would not have to communicate with him. I knew I had feelings for him, but he also made me angry with his controlling behaviour and I felt like the easiest way to avoid that was by avoiding him. I hated feeling like I was being restricted. I did not like feeling like I was not useful and that was exactly how he made me feel. I understood that he was only trying to protect me, but it was costing me my sanity. Thinking about it made me so mad and my eyes began to sting with angry tears. I was grateful that the room was dark and Dominic did not put it on, although I could hear him moving around. Probably stripping out of his clothes and going to
DOMINIC’S POVThe place was quiet with my outburst and Emily just kept glaring at me. I was sick and tired of having the same conversation, but I was not going to give her what she wanted, I needed to come up with something that could keep her occupied so she would not feel so helpless. I let out a shaky breath. The day had been too long and I was already very exhausted. I just wanted to sleep, but I could not sleep knowing that Emily was angry with me. “How about I let you handle anything that had to do with surveillance?” I ask her. She narrows her eyes at me and shakes her head. “Am I supposed to be looking at the camera twenty-four hours a day?” “No. I mean when we are trying to find something on a footage. You were able to find something that neither Barry, Ezra nor I could find.” “No. I want to be in on the strategic planning, I do not really have to go out with you to fight, but I can help you to put things together. I am very good at it.” Knowing that this was not an argu
EMILY’S POVOur breaths were heavy as our lips tangled in a heated and sensual kiss. I sat on his desk with my legs wrapped around his waist. We were so close that I could feel his erection pressed against my core through our clothes. His hands roamed my body as though he was trying to commit each curve and pattern to his memory. Things were not supposed to happen this way. I had come to his office to discuss work-related issues. I knew that we needed a plan and it was important that we started to strategize right away, but during our conversation, Dominic had captured my lips in a kiss. I tried to resist him, but I was learning that was not possible with Dominic Moreno. He didn’t ask, he demanded and he took. Call me crazy, but I liked it only in situations like this. I allowed him to own and dominate me. “Turn around and place your hands on the desk. I want that pretty ass facing me.” He ordered. I hopped off his desk and went in the position that he wanted me to be in. I was wear
DOMINIC’S POV“You are not really suggesting that you try to harm his sister in any way to get to him?” Emily asked, looking horrified. “That is exactly what I am saying,” I told her without hesitation. “But she does not have anything to do with this,” Emily complained. This was one of the reasons why I did not want her involved in the business. I told her things were different from her work at the agency and if she could not handle this, there was no way I could let her keep working with us. I noticed Barry and Ezra sharing a look, but neither of them said anything. I knew they were not so keen on the idea of having her work with us and they were resisting the urge to complain in front of me, but they had no choice. Emily will work with us until I decide otherwise. “In our world, that doesn’t matter. We do not fight fair, we simply fight to win. When Luca kidnapped the girls, did he care that they were not involved in any of this? It is the same thing. If we do not go after him
EMILY’S POVI stormed out of Dominic’s office, feeling like I could not breathe from the anger that was burning in my chest. I had always known that Dominic was a dangerous and cruel man, but coming face to face with his cold heart had affected me more than I wanted to admit. How could he want to kidnap an innocent woman for the sake of revenge? I knew that the Mafia was interconnected and you could not escape it no matter how much you weren’t involved, but using an innocent woman as leverage was not something that I wanted to play a part in. I needed some space and some air. As I stumbled outside, I felt a hand grab my wrist from behind and I turned around to come face to face with Barry. He and I had not had any close encounters since I arrived from America to the estate in Italy. He still hated me, and I wanted to avoid trouble so I stayed away from him. “What do you want, Barry?” I demanded. He let go of my wrist and I moved away from him, putting as much distance between us as
Emily POVStaring out the window of my car, I admired the beauty of the Moreno estate. It is such a shame that a family of this calibre is involved with so many illegal activities."Emily!" I heard my name through the earpiece. "This is Adam, remember the plan, do this once and get out immediately. You are Lena Grant, a high society event planner, don't forget that."Every single instruction he had dished out, I made sure to pay close attention. Being an undercover agent for the Central investigative office for several years comes with a lot of experience. I am not new to the task, but for some reason, I have an odd feeling about this operation. This is the third week that I have been rehearsing for the role after the case was brought before my desk, so the execution was never going to be a problem.Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and stepped out of the vehicle onto the lawn of Moreno estate. The urge to just stand in awe and admire the beautiful piece of construction was heav

DOMINIC’S POVAfter I left Anita’s room, I went into Emily’s room to make sure that she was packing. If Emily didn’t come with me, I would lose my mind. She had already become a part of me and I could not lose her. I would do everything to keep her by my side, even if that meant kidnapping her. When I walked into her room, she was packing her bags. “I am glad that you have come to your senses,” I told her. She stopped packing and turned to look at me. “I am not coming with you. I am going back to America.” My blood began to boil. “Why do you always have to be so fucking stubborn? You will do no such thing.” I barked out. “You cannot tell me what to do.” She said and went back to packing. I walked slowly to her and stood behind her. Then I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me. Her back was against my chest and her ass was pressed up against my hard cock. “I am not giving you a choice,” I whispered in her ears. I wrapped my hand gently around her neck. I could se
EMILY’S POVJust as the girls left, Dominic walked into the living room covered in blood. I didn’t even realise I had been so worried about him, despite being angry with him. I let out a sigh of relief as I rushed over to him and he pulled me in for an embrace. When things like this happen, the possibility of someone dying is very high, especially for Dominic who is always in front of the battle. “I am so glad you are okay and that this whole nightmare is over,” I told him when we finally pulled away from each other. I could see the dark look in his eyes, the one he got whenever he wanted to kill someone or after killing someone. “It isn’t over—that part is, but I just got a message from my sources; the FBI has traced Adam’s last whereabouts to the estate. We need to leave immediately.” He said. My heart sank as my mind tried to process the information. If I ran away with Dominic, that would be the nail in my coffin. I would never be able to work for the federal agency again. Domi
