Bound by Blood and Bullets
In the ruthless underworld of New York’s Italian mafia, peace comes at a deadly price.
When Luca Rossi, the cold-blooded heir to the Rossi empire, executes the Vitale family’s prized soldier, war erupts between the two most powerful crime families. To prevent total annihilation, a marriage alliance is forged but the Vitale don offers something no one expected: his defiant, openly gay younger brother, Alessio.
Luca has spent his life burying his desires beneath layers of violence and duty. Marrying a man is unthinkable in their traditional world yet refusing means rivers of blood. Alessio, beautiful and unbreakable, is delivered to Luca like a sacrifice… or a weapon.
What begins as a contract of convenience explodes into obsession. Stolen touches in penthouse shadows. Whispered praise that shatters Alessio’s walls. A possessive love neither man saw coming.
But in a world built on betrayal, someone is plotting to tear the fragile truce apart and kill the newlyweds before they can claim real power.
Two men bound by vengeance. One love forged in fire.
Only one question remains: will they rule together… or die trying?

Chapter: Chapter 12: Threat at Dawn Chapter 12: Threat at Dawn (Alessio’s POV)Morning light crept through the penthouse windows, soft and golden, mocking the blood on our hands from last night.I woke alone. The bed was cold on Luca’s side, sheets still tangled from where he’d taken me apart on the rug hours earlier—slow, reverent, every whispered “good boy” and “you’re mine” burning into my skin. I’d fallen asleep with his arms around me, his heartbeat steady against my back.Now the apartment felt too quiet.I pulled on one of his shirts—black, oversized, smelling like him—and padded barefoot to the living room. The city sprawled below, indifferent. No sign of Luca.My phone buzzed on the kitchen island. A text from an unknown number.*Nice work in Queens. Irish send regards. Next time, we take something you care about.*Attached: a photo. Grainy, taken from a distance. Me, stepping out of the SUV at the warehouse last night. Luca’s hand on my lower back. Clear enough to identify us both.My stomach dropped.I stare

Chapter: Chapter 11: Retaliation Hit Chapter 11: Retaliation Hit (Luca’s POV)The rain started as we rolled out of the warehouse hard sheets slamming the SUV roof like gunfire. Enzo drove, I rode shotgun, Alessio in the back with two of my best men. No one spoke. The plan was simple: hit one of the Irish crew’s stash houses in Queens. In and out. Message sent. No survivors to talk.Alessio hadn’t said a word since the warehouse. He sat quietly, staring out the window, fingers drumming on his knee. I kept glancing back in the rearview. His face was calm too calm. Like he’d already decided something.“You sure about this?” I asked low, when the others were focused on the road.He met my eyes in the mirror. “You asked if I was in it. I said yes.”“This isn’t painting or club openings. It’s blood.”“I know.” His voice was steady. “I’ve seen blood before. Just not… yours.”The words landed heavier than I expected.We parked two blocks away, hoods up against the rain. The target was a rundown auto shop front looked legit, bac

Chapter: Chapter 10: Warehouse Shadows Chapter 10: Warehouse Shadows (Alessio’s POV)The warehouse smelled like rust, oil, and old blood.Luca’s black SUV pulled up to the loading dock just as the sun dipped behind the skyline, turning everything bloody orange. I stepped out beside him, jacket zipped against the chill, trying to look like I belonged. Inside, my stomach twisted—not from fear, exactly, but from the raw edge of seeing Luca shift into full enforcer mode.He moved differently here: shoulders squared, eyes scanning every shadow, hand resting casually near the gun at his hip. The man who’d whispered praise against my skin last night was gone. This was the killer the streets whispered about.Enzo waited at the entrance, face grim. “Irish left the head in a duffel. No note. Just a message.”Luca nodded once. “Show me.”We followed him inside. The space was cavernous—crates stacked high, fluorescent lights buzzing overhead. A cluster of Rossi capos stood around a metal table. In the center: a black duffel bag, unz

Chapter: Chapter 9: Morning Conflict Chapter 9: Morning Conflict (Luca’s POV)Sunlight sliced through the blinds like a warning.I woke with Alessio draped over me—head on my chest, one leg hooked over mine, breathing slow and even. His dark hair tickled my collarbone, and the faint scent of him (paint, citrus, sex) filled the sheets. For one stupid second, I let myself feel it: peace. Warmth. The kind of quiet I’d never had before him.Then reality crashed in.Last night replayed in flashes—dragging him from the club, pinning him to the wall, his mouth on me again, my voice breaking on praise while he came apart. I’d whispered things I couldn’t take back. “Good boy.” “Mine.” “Perfect.”I stared at the ceiling, heart hammering.What the fuck was I doing?This wasn’t supposed to be real. It was a contract. A truce. A way to stop bodies from piling up. Not… this. Not waking up tangled in him, hard again just from the feel of his skin. Not wanting to roll him under me and do it all over, slower this time, until he begged.

Chapter: Chapter 8: Penthouse AftermathChapter 8: Penthouse Aftermath Alessio’s POVThe elevator ride up was silent, but the air between us crackled like it was about to ignite.Luca stood rigid beside me, jaw clenched, eyes fixed on the numbers ticking higher. His hand still circled my wrist—not tight, but firm enough that I felt every pulse of his restraint. I could smell the faint trace of his cologne mixed with club smoke, and underneath it, the heat of him. Anger. Want. The same cocktail that had me trembling earlier on that balcony.The doors slid open. He pulled me inside the penthouse without a word, kicking the door shut behind us. The city lights spilled through the windows, painting long shadows across the marble floor.I didn’t wait for him to speak.I turned, pressing my back to the wall, chin up. “So. You dragged me out of there like a caveman because some guy smiled at me?”Luca’s eyes darkened. He stepped closer, crowding me without touching. “He touched you.”“His hand was on my arm for two seconds.”“Two

Chapter: Chapter 7: Jealousy in neon lightsChapter 7: Jealousy in Neon Lights (Luca's POV)The club pulsed like a living thing—bass thumping through the floor, strobe lights cutting sharp across sweat-slicked bodies, the air thick with expensive cologne, smoke, and money. Neutral ground for tonight's "alliance celebration." Both families had insisted on showing unity: Rossi and Vitale capos mingling, champagne flowing, smiles sharp as knives.I hated every second of it.Alessio stood at the bar, black shirt unbuttoned just enough to show the fresh mark I'd left on his collarbone last night. He was laughing—genuine, head thrown back—at something one of the younger Vitale soldiers said. The guy's hand rested casually on Alessio's arm. Too casually.My grip tightened on the glass in my hand. Ice cracked.Enzo leaned in beside me, voice low over the music. "Easy, boss. He's just talking.""Talking with his body language screaming 'fuck me,'" I muttered.Enzo snorted. "He's yours. Ring on his finger, mark on his neck. Everyone kno
