Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 37 : Having Her
Ryder's POVAnother sleepless night. Another wordless day.Carol makes dinner, but the smell of it alone is enough to set me off. Nothing tastes the same since Eden left. I can't feel warmth and comfort until she is back in my arms. Everything aches, and I'm sore with a stiff rage that boils under the surface, waiting to be lifted up so the pressure of the steam can be unleashed.If I were to fully release like I want to, I may set the world on fire in my wake.I haven't spoken to my brother. I'm not sure when I will again. He sits beside himself in the corner of the room, overlooking the river. He's hardly moved since Eden left. Carol scolded him pretty terribly since she found out what happened, the state of the office, and how we treated Eden that morning.Carol wasn't too kind to me about it either, and finally, after her lecture, she had sat down, shrugged her shoulders, and said, you did this to yourselves.She was right, too.I turn away as she offers me a plate. I
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 38 : The Remorse We Feel
Eden's POVI wake slowly, in peace, but also in pain. I can spot the wounds on my body purely by the throbbing aches that dot my body all over. I rub my eyes and regret it instantly, my cheek pulsing from the small touch I put there.Looking around the familiar bed, I spot a few unfamiliar spaces next to me. Ryder isn't beside me, and Dante isn't behind me. The last thing I recall was Asher finally convincing me to give up where the estate was, but I never anticipated he would actually give me back to the Golden brothers.That is, unless he gave me back and then took them away!I leap out of bed, landing on my knees while my foot lands crooked on the floor. My ankle is wrapped in the tight knot of a metal brace. I hop upright onto my good foot, seeing the length of my leg lined in dark scratches and deep welts.Standing straight, I catch the sounds of a familiar voice down the hall and try my best to limp on my good ankle toward the living room. Rounding the corner, I spot th
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 39 : Dangerous & Darling Men
Eden's POVMason paces through the kitchen while I maintain my spot on the couch, fighting to stay awake until the Golden brothers return home. I can't help but ache with the time that passes, worried over their well-being in a city that Erik Donahue is most likely scouring right now for all three of us.I can't feel my ankle anymore; it's so tightly braced in the wrap that I woke up in that I find myself wanting to pace with Mason just so I can move again and feel my blood pumping.For now, I make it as far as the bookshelf nearby, fighting myself to reorganize it all.Again.I pick through the leather-bound photo books and pull the one that seems to be overstuffed with pictures. Flipping open the cover, I hear Mason grumble to himself as if unsure if I should be poking through this stuff or not.His irritation at the estate when I deleted that voicemail was unmatched by any anger I've ever seen from Mason, and he and I haven't always had the best of relations with one ano
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 40 : The Three of Us
Eden's POVDante lays back in bed, his hands heavy on my sore hips. I'll be damned if I show the pain that spikes from his massive palms running trails down my ribs, my body bouncing in gleeful anticipation while he steadies me on his lap.Ryder moves behind me, meticulously taking off my shirt and kissing my shoulders and neck in heavenly unison. I purr a noise, leaning back into a warm, wall of muscle that is Ryder's bare chest. He pulls my ass against Dante's lap as his pelvis brushes my lower back.We're all naked in a matter of seconds, assuming the same positions as before when we were clothed.Dante picks me up on his lap and lowers his erection deep into my core, setting wildfires in my chest. I heave for air, his hands managing to pull me forward, pressing my chest to his while his hips take up the movements and speed.To my surprise, they are rather gentle.Considering the wounds marking all three of us now, I can't be surprised at their newfound calmness.Ryder
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 41 : Sail Away
Eden's POVMy body is littered with pain, but none seem new to my mind. Erik Donahue made sure I was beaten severely the first time I was taken from the Golden brothers, so I fear when I wake up that I'll only be forced into that same cycle.The only difference now is I truly have no idea where they are.Did they make it to the estate? Did they get the flash drive back?Everything is jumbled into a haze when my eyes fly open, and judging by my surroundings, I have more confusing things to figure out now.I'm in a soft bed, surrounded by white furniture with wood finishes on top. My head spins when I stand, still losing track of my balance while I try to leave the room, surprised when the door opens lazily to my simple push.The van pulling up last night is the last thing I recall before waking up, but it's safe to say that I was taken into the van and driven to this odd hotel.Making my way down the narrow hallway is difficult, but I manage, pushing outside where the sun
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 42 : A Golden Girl
Dante's POVMy brother and I have gotten good at reading each other's minds over the years. Even when we've had our simple spats, we've stayed intertwined with one another. But this feels different, we are different, and being away from our favorite girl has changed everything.Ryder is laboring over his computer set up in our downtown office, trying to catch a ping off the tracker we had sewn into most of Eden's shorts.She wouldn't have appreciated us doing that, but after she ran off from us the first time, and then was taken by Erik Donahue and returned so beaten, we had to do something. So Ryder had little buttons replaced on her shorts and jeans to track her location at any time, but something is wrong.I can't tell what specifically. Ryder flexes his knuckles at the sides of the computer, working in plain, tensile silence.I take to pacing, Mason halfway across the office, his head buried in his arms. He never liked Eden to begin with, but that seemed to be changing, c
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 43 : Explosions
Eden's POVI lean into Asher's side, both of us curled up together in the corner of his room in the belly of the yacht. I feel safe with him, but I know that won't last forever. Eventually, with the sun going down, and there's still no sign of Dante or Ryder— Erik may grow impatient and kill me first.It's naïve to think I'm of any use anymore.Erik has the tracker, and we already managed to make a call to the Golden brothers, so they know I'm okay. If I die now, everything left unsaid will forever be the impression I leave behind."Can we call them again?" I whimper, biting back hefty sobs of defeat. "I'm scared, Asher.""I know you are, but we can't call them again, sweetheart. We don't know if they're already almost here or not. We can't blow their cover like that, Eden. We just have to wait."I turn my face into his warm, clean shirt. I still reek of tequila and blood, the welts on my arm and around my back from Erik's fury earlier broken open along the edges. This dain
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 44 : Golden Bullets
Eden's POVErik Donahue yanks me out of my corner by my bruising, fractured ankle. I release a scream so loud that he snarls for me to stop, and even then, I don't abide until he drops my wounded leg in mercy.My thigh is burned from rubbing against the carpet so hard and my labored breath is causing a throbbing in my throat. The Donahue head boss looms overhead, twitching with a handgun pressed casually in his palm.He eyes me carefully, as I keep a close watch on his pistol. The room, the yacht—the world is silent."I knew you were rotten when I saw the bank robbery footage," he sneers, pacing around my shivering position on the floor. "I should have killed you then. Now, you've done nothing but stir up trouble. You turned my own damn son against me and have sent my ship into chaos."I stifle a reply, knowing if I piss him off right now, it will take nothing for him to kill me.Gunshots ring out downstairs, and I flinch on impulse, expecting one to pierce my body, but the

Eden's POV"Come on," I plead, trying to escape both of their roaming, wandering hands. "It's going to be cold and—and what if a boat passes by and they—they will see—""They're in for a show," Dante breathes into my neck and shoulder.I melt at his many, pecking kisses there. "Agh, that's not fair. You know I love that.""I also know you love a lot of things, baby," Ryder hums, pushing my dress upwards and dragging his tongue up the inside of my thighs.I wince, overwhelmed."Come on, guys, please. Let's just go to the bedroom and—and—"My vision sparks spots as Ryder's mauling kisses have moved up my thighs. So far, in fact, that I can't help but dare to collapse as I hook a leg over his broad shoulder. Dante keeps me upright, one of his hands undoing the zipper of my dress.They can't be serious!I panic, looking around the dock and the river, concerned that someone for sure is already watching. I can only imagine the frenzy it would cause if there was a camera any
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 49 : Keep Or Sell
Eden's POVWe all stand around the kitchen island, unmoving and unspeaking, staring at the flash drive Asher had placed beneath the flowerpot before he died.It's evening now, which is nice because I feel like we do our best productive thought at this hour. We also have the most fun when everyone is asleep but it's not on our minds right now.I'm thinking of the money coming my way, the millions I can't even comprehend, while the brothers are left contemplating the flash drive Asher left behind when he saved me from his father's wine cellar.If they're anything like me, we're all thinking about how stupid we feel.It's been here all this time..."There have to be more Donahue family members," I breathe. "So that means they will come looking for it again, right? Or am I wrong?"Dante leans forward, staring through the drive like it's a foreign object they haven't spent all this time obsessing over selling and retrieving and getting rid of.Ryder hangs an arm over my sho
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 48 : An Intense Interview
Eden's POVThis police station is colder than the last one I was in. I inch back into my chair, clinging to Dante's jacket while Ryder manages to get me a cup of coffee from the break room. They hang back, pacing through the small interview room while I sit at the cold, metal table.My heels tap on the concrete floors methodically, and I hold the coffee cup just to feel the warmth of it in my palms. My head has been spinning for the last few hours.No one has come to talk to us since bringing us into this little room.I look at the mirror along the side wall, wondering who is in there, and why they are watching us. I can't imagine that this has anything to do with the bank heist, considering we're still near the estate out of Manhattan, but they could be here about the clothes on the yacht.I feel stupid for even forgetting about that stuff.I lay my head down, exhausted, feeling like this is what they want from me. It's working.The Golden brothers are less than worried,
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 47 : All Black Attire
Eden's POV"Come back here," Ryder snaps.I'd already gathered my robe and slipped inside it, but Ryder is charging through the room when he sees me doing so. I need to go outside, to breathe and process, or maybe pick up a rag and some furniture spray so I can distract my frazzled mind.Ryder loops his arms around my sides and pulls me back into his chest. I struggle to wiggle free and instead of setting me down in bed, he shoves me toward the shower and releases me, ripping my robe away."Ugh, come on," I pant, coming close to slipping on the tile and falling backward.Dante's hands wrap around me next and he pins me under the warm shower water while Ryder leans casually against the shower door."What did she do now?" Dante says in a heavy exhale."The news said the police found her clothes on the Donahue yacht," Ryder grumbles. "They are talking about her and the bank heist and being brought in for questioning again."Dante pouts slightly but manages a soft, gentle k
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 46 : Alone Together
Eden's POVI collapse into bed, still warm with both of their scents, and it swarms my mind all at once how much I love lying in bed with them both. I dare to go to sleep, a yawn pulling from my lips, but the brothers both make a growling, disapproving noise."You are not going to sleep," Dante huffs, slightly offended. "You better wake up, kitten, or I'll do it for you."Slightly tempted by such a salacious threat, I bury my face into my pillow and snuggle into the blankets. It's easy to tempt both of these affectionate men.Ryder steals the blankets from the bed, stripping it and stripping me next.I shiver, my bare back under their heavy glares, and I don't even have to turn around to know it is true. Dante climbs into bed beside me, and when I think he is going to flip me over so they can have their way with me, he instead grabs my wrists.I aim to sit up, surprised, but Dante yanks my hands behind the small of my back and ties them there. Panic sets in when I feel a ta
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 45 : From Sea to Land
Eden's POV"Trouble sleeping?"Carol perches on one of the chairs at the dining room table while I have my legs kicked up on the bench, pressed to the bay window that overlooks the river. I can see her through the reflection of the window, adjusting her silk robe and folding her well-manicured hands out before her."Yeah," I admit, though everyone knows it already. "Just got tired of lying there, I guess.""That's understandable," Carol hums. "How about I make some tea and we talk?"I sulk at the thought. She catches it."Well, I'll make tea and we won't talk. Sound good?"I blush but eventually nod long after she is already preparing water to boil over the stovetop. I sit back, eyeing the dark horizon and seeing it absent from the boat that was surrounded by police and coast guard and other boats with red and blue lights.They finally towed the Donahue yacht from hell out of the water after a fishing boat passed by and saw blood draining down the stern. It's been on ev
