Chapter 110

Jean“You really love him, don’t you?”I turn around when I hear Adeline’s voice behind me. I hadn’t even realized I’d been staring at Dante who was standing a few paces from where we are as he ironed out more of our plan with Noah.No matter how I look at it, Dante has this certain lightness to him when he’s around Noah. It’s like with Noah here, Dante’s burden is lessened and I’m thankful for that. He must be so happy seeing his brother again after so long. And I can only imagine I would feel the same joy when I see my sister again.I face Adeline and give her a genuine smile. “Yeah. I really do love him.”There’s no point denying it now, even to myself. I love Dante. And we’re minutes away from storming a smuggling ring. I can’t help but worry for him.Dante may be hardened by hundreds of battles but he’s still human, he could still get hurt, and he could still be killed.“I just worry that this is the last time I’ll see him.” I shake my head to rid myself of the thought. “Sorry,

Chapter 111

Jean “What?” Dante asks in disbelief, looking at me as if I‘d said something out of character. Maybe I did but it’s for the best. This way he knows exactly what I want to do. The need to be active and involved is strong because the minute I stop moving I’ll start to crumble. “How are we proceeding with the plan?” I ask, subtler than the last question. “I need to do something, Dante— no you don’t understand!” I add when he tries to reach for me and cut me off. “I need to do something.” Dante’s eyebrows scrunch in confusion before the realization hits him. Suddenly, he has a hand around my wrist and practically drags me across the kitchen and into the living room. I don’t even get time to admire the penthouse’s interior because Dante all but pushes me down into the plush black couch. I hit the cushions with a soft plop leaving me to crane my neck all the way back to look up at him. “What—” “Sit down,” he says, cutting me off. Though confused and pissed at how he’s manhandling me, I

Chapter 112

JeanHow long has it been? Two hours maybe since I fell asleep on the couch from exhaustion. How many times have I cried myself to sleep these days? But I needed that.Sometimes, a good cry is what you really need to clear your head. And now that my head is clear, I’m starting to regret everything I said earlier.I find myself in the kitchen after my stomach grumbles its complaints. I don’t remember when the last time I ate was, I think it was before the mission started. I fix myself a simple breakfast of bread and coffee, forcing my mind to stay blank as I go about mundane activities.After loading the dishwasher, I head back to the bedroom on the second floor to rest, there’s nothing else to do anyway. I try to watch a movie but I can’t seem to focus, not even making it to the ten-minute mark. I can’t seem to shake the images of Adeline in my arms along with our other fallen soldiers.I clench my fists until I could feel my fingernails bury deep into the skin of my palms, the pain g

Chapter 113

JeanShocked to hear Dante’s voice, I don’t turn around, instead, I wait for him to come closer. He admits that he has been keeping this room a secret, but I want the explanation to come from him.“What are you doing here, Jean?”“You didn’t tell me about the casino,” I reply instead, curious to know why.I hear some shuffling behind me as Dante moves closer. Dante hums before replying, “I didn’t want it to be the first thing I tell you after waking up.”“Ah,” I reply nodding, having assumed as much. This whole time he was thinking about how I felt and I, on the other hand, didn’t stop to consider his feelings. “I’m sorry about how I acted this morning,” I add ashamed. “It’s… not excusable. I’m sorry for the trouble. I didn’t mean what I said.”I chew the inside of my cheek, waiting for Dante to say something.“I accept your apology,” he replies finally. “And to be honest, you did mean it. You meant what you said, and what I won’t accept is you downplaying your emotions. I appreciate

JeanI don’t miss the spark in Dante’s eyes when I said those words, my heart getting fuller with each passing second.“Do you remember the first time you took me to the casino?” When Dante nods, I continue, my smile not faltering for a moment. “I felt like I belonged.”Dante’s eyes widen at my confession and I can’t help but coo inwardly at his reactions. “To be honest, I was terrified of getting used to your world, but then, I realized it’s not your world that I felt like I belonged in. It’s you. I belong with you.”“What are you saying?” Dante asks, but his expression tells me he already understands, his hands clutching mine bringing them closer to his chest.“It was the feeling I got being next to you. I felt alive, powerful… content. It terrified me. It still does. But I’ve realized not telling you scares me more.”“Again, Jean what exactly are you saying?”“I’m saying I love you, Dante.”“Since when?” he asks and I can’t help but giggle at his reaction, with his eyes wide and ey

Chapter 115

JeanTo my surprise, Dante bends down to line his face up to my soaked pussy, licking up my juices like he’s a starved man. Too fucked-out to do anything else, I lay there, a moaning mess, accepting everything he’s giving to me.“You taste like heaven. Come here,” he says as he brings his lips to mine. Tasting myself on his lips should feel so wrong, but somehow it makes me hot all over, ready for another round.“W-wait,” I manage to moan against his lips. “W-wanna taste you. Need to suck you off.”Scrambling to get up on my elbows, I allow Dante to undress, his thick cock springing from the confines of his tight underwear. With Dante straddling me, he takes his proud member into his hands slapping my face a few times with it.“You want this?” he teases, and I swear I salivated at the sight of him, waving his cock in front of me like bait. From this angle, laying underneath him, I could see every ripple of Dante’s muscles as he moves from the curve of his cock to his delicious abs and

Chapter 116

JeanTime seemed to slow down, too caught up in the now. I don’t know how much time has passed since Dante cleaned us up, we’ve been cuddling ever since. With the dirtied sheets thrown haphazardly on the floor, the both of us too lazy to change them, I lie half on top of Dante sprawled on the bare mattress. The feeling of Dante’s warm skin against mine is indescribable. We fit. That’s all there is to it. We fit perfectly together, like two pieces of the same puzzle.I could spend the rest of my days here on this bed, languidly kissing Dante with no real purpose other than to enjoy his presence. I’m sure he feels the same if the satisfied grin on his face is any indication.“We should stop,” I mumble against Dante’s lips, giving his lower lip a soft peck, earning one in return.Dante hums low, “Stop what?” he asks as he continues to plant soft kisses across my lips, cheeks, and nose.I couldn’t help the giggle that escapes from my lips as his nose rubs against mine. “This!” I answer p

Chapter 117

DanteThis is fine, right? Jean said I could tell her anything, and I want to tell her everything. I know that I should tell her everything, but that doesn’t stop the voice in my head screaming at me to stop. Somehow, it knows that there’s a chance that Jean might turn away from me again after hearing my truth.And that terrifies me. The thought of losing her forever scares me more than anything. “Take your time,” Jean says, giving my hand a reassuring squeeze. God, I don’t deserve her. She’s too pure, too perfect for me, yet here I am, a selfish asshole who wants her all to himself.“It’s about time I told you the whole truth about the family.” I manage to say finally. Jean may have been involved with some of our missions and she has immersed herself among the mafia don’s wives, but really she has only managed to scratch the surface of my world.She knows the glitz and glamour, and she knows about the blood and violence, but Jean doesn’t know about what happens in between, and the r

Chapter 118

DanteTrying to understand me?Is that what I wanted when I decided to tell her all of this? I think so. My primary reason might be to scare her, to make her take a step back and stay here where she’s safe and protected, but knowing that Jean’s trying to understand me and my life… it opens a floodgate of emotions in me. Emotions that I didn’t know I possessed.“Jean,” I try again. “People are after me, not just Serafino. And these people will keep coming after me until they topple my empire over.”“Your empire?” Jean asks, her head tilting to one side, an action that I’ve always found adorable. “Ah, is it because you’re the one who sits on the throne?”What? How the hell does Jean come up with these unpredictable responses? This whole time I’ve been kept on my toes with how unprecedented Jean’s words are. They leave a strange impact on me which delays and inherently disturbs my thought process.This talk was supposed to be for Jean, to convince her to stay safe, but instead, it’s tu

Chapter 119

JeanWe’ve talked well into the night that the dim lights of the penthouse are barely enough to illuminate our surroundings. But I welcome the darkness, this is where Dante and I feel most comfortable, as fucked up as we both are.“I’m sorry,” I whisper against his neck, and I feel Dante tighten his arms around me, pulling me even closer to his body. I allow myself to relish in Dante’s warmth for a solid minute before I pull away slowly, knowing that there’s still so much we need to talk about.Talk. That’s right. All this time we have been brushing off each other’s thoughts and feelings when what we should have been doing instead was talking.What was it that people say? Communication is the key to a good and healthy relationship? Wow. Maybe those counseling programs know what they’re talking about after all.I pull away just enough that I can look at Dante’s face if I crane my head enough. Resting my hands on his strong chest, I coax Dante to look at me with a small tap.“You are go
