The Don's Dirty Obsession
They say the devil knows your name before you ever see his face.
Cedric Santos learns this truth in the private booth of New York’s most exclusive club, serving champagne to the man who holds his family’s life in his hands. Gianni Falcone, New York’s newest kingpin, smiles like he knows every secret Cedric is hiding. Because he does.
Desperate to pay his father’s $500,000 mafia debt, Cedric agrees to work undercover for the police with Gianni as the target. Except Gianni is actually Gus Franco, the invisible boy from high school who witnessed Cedric’s greatest humiliation. Who has been obsessively in love with him for six years, who orchestrated everything; the debt, the desperation, and the carefully constructed trap, just to make Cedric his.
What starts as espionage turns into seduction. Every touch is a claim, every kiss is a threat, and Cedric finds himself falling for the monster who destroyed his life to remake it in his image.
Detective Marcus Chen offers a way out, but Gianni offers everything else, only if Cedric surrenders to him completely.
In a game where love and control are indistinguishable, the only way out is deeper in.

Chapter: The Man Who Remembers"I said," Falcone murmured, his voice low enough that only Cedric could hear, "who sent you?" Cedric's pulse thudded against Falcone's fingers. "No one," he managed, trying to keep his voice steady. "I told you, I just needed a job." Falcone studied him like he was reading a language only he understood. "You expect me to believe that? That out of every club in this city, you happened to walk into mine?" "I filled out an application, and someone called me back. That's how jobs work," Cedric said quickly. His brain was already scrambling for lies that sounded like the truth. "You think I'd volunteer to be here if I knew it was yours?" A slow smile curved Falcone's lips. "That's what I'm trying to decide." He released Cedric's face at last, but the phantom of his touch lingered. Falcone turned to pour himself a drink, calm as if they'd been chatting about the weather. The amber liquid caught the light as he swirled it in the glass. "Do you know what the difference is between a

Chapter: Fucked Up High School ReunionCedric stopped, then he turned around slowly.Falcone was looking at him now, really looking, his phone forgotten on the table. His expression was unreadable, but something was happening behind those eyes, some calculation, some recognition that Cedric didn't understand."Come here," Falcone said.It wasn't a request.Cedric's feet moved before his brain caught up, carrying him back to the table while he freaked out in his head. His first day on the job, and he was already fucked! What the hell possessed him to accept to such a dangerous job? What could Falcone possibly want from him?He walked back to the centre of the booth, where Falcone sat watching him with dark, knowing eyes that made Cedric feel naked.Up close, he was even more unbelievably hot. There was a faint scar on his temple, a small imperfection that somehow made him more attractive, not less. And his hands, long elegant fingers currently resting on his knee, Cedric imagined those fingers stretching out his ass from be

Chapter: No Way OutThe wire itched.Cedric stood in the club's bathroom, full of black marble and gold fixtures that probably cost more than his entire existence, and stared at his reflection. The crisp white shirt they'd given him was tailored within an inch of its life, tucked into black slacks that actually fit for once. His ribs didn’t hurt as much anymore. His hair was styled back, his face had healed enough that makeup covered the worst of the bruising, and he looked hot as hell, like someone who belonged in a place like this.The wire was taped to his chest, a tiny microphone no bigger than a button, and the transmitter pack was clipped to his back beneath his shirt. Marcus's voice echoed in his head from the briefing two hours ago: “Don't take it off. Don't compromise the equipment. We need everything.”Cedric's fingers found the edge of the tape, then he ripped the wire off in one sharp motion, gasping at the sting, before dropping the whole setup into the trash and burying it deep under paper

Chapter: Take It Or Leave It"You start Monday.”Cedric blinked, dragging his attention away from the cop’s mouth, the kind of mouth that looked like it knew how to do very interesting things in bed, not focusing at all on the words being said.Brett had dropped him off at the police station twenty minutes ago with a “good luck, you’re gonna need it” that had done absolutely nothing to calm Cedric’s nerves, even after the morphine he took to chill out.He noticed the cop’s name tag and read it. Detective Marcus fucking Chen!How the hell was his high school crush now a cop?! And he had only gotten better looking! Sure he’d traded the letterman jacket for a police uniform, but he still had that same cool attitude that had made sixteen-year-old Cedric weak in the knees. The same sharp jawline, the same green eyes that could probably see right through Cedric’s bullshit. And that mouth, holy mother of fuck! He was dying to know what it would feel like wrapped around his cock.“--- listening to me?” Marcus was saying

Chapter: Big, Happy Family.“Jesus Christ, what the fuck happened to your face?”Cedric kept his hood up and his head down, ignoring the pitying looks and questions from late-night commuters on the subway who caught sight of his busted face. He could see the full extent of the damage reflected in the scratched train window, he looked like he'd gone three rounds with a heavyweight boxer and lost every single one.By the time he climbed the four flights to his mother's apartment, not Ray’s, he would never call it Ray’s, his ribs hurt with every step he took and cold sweat dripped down his back.He fumbled with his keys, but the door swung open before he could use them.Lily stood there in purple pyjamas with little stars, her adorable face lighting up with happiness. She held up a piece of paper, it was a drawing of a house with a garden and three stick figures holding hands."Hey, Lil-bit." Cedric's voice came out rough, but he managed to smile. "Whatcha got there, sis?"She grinned, waving the paper in his face

Chapter: Double TroubleThe guy Cedric was just about to fuck ran off, leaving Cedric’s alone to scramble for an exit strategy, What the hell was he supposed to do? Talk his way out? Run? Fight? Beg?There was absolutely nowhere for him to hide, the alley had only one single exit, currently blocked by three guys who looked like they were out to kill him.“Look,” Cedric said, backing up into the brick wall while trying to sound calm and reasonable. “I don’t know what this is about, but I think there’s been some kind of mistake…”The leader’s voice cut harshly, “Your father’s debt. We’re here to collect it.”Cedric’s stomach dropped “I’ve been making the payments every single month, like clockwork. You can check with-”“We want the rest.” The man who looked to be the leader took a step closer, and in the dim yellow light spilling from the street, Cedric could make out more details. He had on an expensive-looking suit, with greying, slicked-back hair and a scar across his left eyebrow. “All of it. Now.”“Now?”
