“Well, ah—” She licks her lips, her eyes darting around. Oh, little rabbit, it’s too late now. Your destiny has already been decided.“I’ll get you a drink.” I trail my fingers down her bare arms, wanting to feel more of her softness. When I reach her hand, I take it. “Come,” I order, not waiting for a response. I don’t need one. This is my club, hell, my fucking city.“Heels!” she squeaks, almost falling again. I grab a hold of her, pulling her to my side.“Champagne,” I bark at one of the bartenders and nod toward my upstairs office, which overlooks the whole club, before I practically drag the small thing toward it. I ignore the quick, hidden glances I receive from a few of my men. I can’t blame them; this isn’t something they’ve ever seen me do.It’s not till we’re in my office that I release my hold on her. The door closes behind us. I’m finally able to relax a little, knowing she’s trapped now.“Whoa.” I watch as she does a small spin. The dress she's wearing, which hits mid-thi

“What’s it say?” My little sister Riley tries to poke her head around me, almost knocking her glasses off.“I don’t know.” I can’t bring myself to read it. I really messed up this time. What was supposed to be my one night of fun and freedom is now coming back to bite me in the ass. I should’ve known better.“What do you mean you don’t know?” Riley elbows her way beside me. I'm going to miss not seeing her every day. My sister has been by my side since the day she was born. There are only a few years between us.Riley isn’t normally pushy. In fact, she embodies the opposite of pushiness. With me, however, she can be whoever she wants. Riley is better at biting her tongue than I am. Though I often don’t bite mine because I’m trying to sway our father’s wrath toward me so that she is never in the line of fire. I have always been protective of her.“I haven’t read it.” I'm still experiencing an inner panic. I knew my life was over when I found out I’d be marrying into the Rossi family. W

“I don’t have time for this,” I grit out at Nikolai. I don’t know what’s gotten into him over the past few weeks. I know why I’m in a shit fucking mood. “I thought you'd gotten your temper under control.” Nikolai was a very angry boy when I found him. Everything had been taken from him.“I did.” Nikolai wipes the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing blood on it. I stand there and wait. “They had it fucking coming.”“They?”“There were three of them.” Sergio speaks before Nikolai can. Of course there were. One would be too easy for him. The boy always loves a challenge. He should be careful. That can come back to bite you in the ass. I thought I knew that lesson myself. That is, until an innocent little rabbit unexpectedly entered my life. Then fucking hopped right back out.“They might have had it coming, but we both know you went out in search of a fight.” Nikolai doesn’t deny it. If he knows one thing, it’s to never lie to me.“Keep your ass in the house tonight,” I order.“I

The atmosphere around me feels different tonight as I enter the ballroom. I honestly don’t know how the hell I’m going to make it through this. I take a deep breath to try to calm my nerves. Fake it until you make it, I remind myself. This is the absolute last place I want to be. My mind keeps racing with so many thoughts.“Maybe you should try breathing.” My sister elbows me in the side. I let out a breath. “You’re breathing for two now.” I snort a laugh because it’s the worst time to joke about this, but the hell with it.I should try to enjoy myself tonight to some degree. It could be one of the few left with my sister. The more that my new reality seeps into my soul, the more I know I have to protect this baby, and that means only one thing. I am going to run.“Let's make our rounds and talk to people, then find a corner to hide in,” I suggest.“Incoming,” Riley mutters under her breath. I turn to see Vincent heading toward me. I force a fake smile onto my face. Then my whole worl

What the fuck am I doing?That one thought plays on a loop in my head. I'm unable to think clearly as a result.“Follow,” I order one of my men as I enter the house, not letting go of Jessica. “And stop looking at her!” I bark. Jessica startles with a small jump. I bite my tongue to avoid soothing her. She’s a traitor. One of them. A vixen who was sent to be my undoing. I’m on to their game now.I lead her up the stairs again, not thinking, and straight to the end of the hallway. I throw open one of the double doors, pulling her into my bedroom.“Don’t try to leave this room.” I release my hold on her. She just stares at me with those wide, innocent eyes.Ones I now know are not so innocent.“Do you hear me?” She nods her head, only pissing me off more. I want to hear her speak. “Say it.”“I hear you, Callahan.”Oh fuck. That sounds too good. My dick jumps to life, thinking about her moaning those words.“You’ll call me Scarfoni.”“Yes, Scarfoni.”I don’t care much for that either. I

“Go,” I order Sal when I make it to my bedroom doors. My hand pauses on the handle, wondering what I might find her doing inside. I listen, but I don’t hear anything. I take a breath.Pull it together. You’re Callahan Scarfoni, I remind myself, opening the door. When I enter, I don’t see her anywhere. I walk over to the bathroom, searching for her there, and then to my closet, only to find my own shit inside.It’s a reminder that she has nothing here. Everything she'll ever have from this point forward will come from me. I relish that thought, but not for the reason that I should. I don't desire to exert control over her. I want to take care of her. I want to be the center of her world.I shake my head, trying to come to my damn senses. I need to remember that she’s a traitor and a liar. One that might have fucked Vincent. All that anger comes rushing back as I stomp out of my closet, knowing she has to be here. I have men on the ground outside, and Sal on the door. There is nowhere f

When I wake up, it’s to an empty bed. That's not shocking; it's been that way for the last five days. I huff a breath, my frustration getting the better of me. Why am I even annoyed? It should make me happy that the big, old sexy jerk isn’t around. The man I met that first night was so different from the one who kidnapped me.The only time Callahan seems to be around is in the middle of the night. It’s not like he tries to even talk to me. I usually wake up to him sliding my panties down my legs to make a feast of me. No words are ever exchanged. I can still sense an anger and a coldness to him, as if he’s fighting some sort of inner battle and losing. Regardless, each night he comes to give me pleasure, never taking anything for himself.Once he’s exhausted me with orgasms, I usually drift back to sleep. Sometimes, I wonder if it was real or if I dreamed it. I toss the covers back to see that it wasn’t a dream. My panties are gone, and there is a faint red irritation on the inside of

Vincent is far too predictable. I knew he wouldn’t be able to tuck himself away in his father’s home for long. He’s got a thing for strippers and cocaine. Why else would he be at a strip club in the afternoon?The place is surprisingly busy when we enter. The parking lot was half empty. The sound of music thumps softly in the background. I glance around the room and notice that everyone's attention is focused on the stages around us. The men are in a trance. It’s pathetic, but I’m not one to talk. I’m slowly sinking into my own vice, one with fiery red hair and green eyes that cut through me.Each night, I can’t stay away. I promise myself I will, but I don’t. I’ve been able to keep it to only a taste of her but my self-restraint is slowly slipping. My body craves her. I want to feel her tight little cunt wrapped around my cock again. Thank God the lights are off when I go to her. I wouldn’t survive her if they weren’t. If I had to stare into those emerald eyes, I’d get lost. I wish i

The second the SUV stops, I’m out, heading straight through the front door. I have a decent idea where she’ll be. I’m almost at the entrance of the kitchen when I hear a soft giggle. I stop in my tracks and listen. Another one floats through the air, causing a mix of emotions to run through me.I step over the kitchen threshold and see Jessica at the kitchen island, preparing something with Emma. The moment Jessica sees me, her smile drops. She goes utterly still.“Rabbit.”“Scarfoni.” She licks her lips.“Callahan,” I correct her, making her little nose scrunch up. When she doesn't understand something, she does it. “Leave us.”Emma is fighting a smirk. We’ll talk later. That woman is lucky I love her like a mother. “Sal.” I call him before he can go. “No eyes.”“Got it, boss,” he says, leaving us alone.“Ah, what are you doing here?” my little rabbit asks.“I live here.”“Right.” Jessica worries her bottom lip between her teeth. “I guess I’ll go back?—”“You’re not going anywhere.”

It’s been almost three days since I saw Callahan. There have been no middle-of-the night visits. Why does that only make me more angry? It’s stupid. I hate him; he's rude and bossy. Still, it’s been messing with my head. I think I miss the man I met that first night. It’s as if there are two different men inside of him.I know this world. I understand the roles that all the men play in it. I witnessed my own father bringing women home under my mother's roof. I think I was holding on to some form of hope that I could salvage something with Callahan. Even when he’s angry, I can still see that he wants me.He doesn’t want to want me. That’s the issue. He hates who I am, and I can’t change that. I was born into the Jovit family. His own men can’t be bothered to speak to me. I might get a yes or no from Sal, but that’s about it. It could never really work between us. Any fantasy I’ve derived in my head is just that: a fantasy.My hand goes to my stomach. How will he feel when he finds out
