This had to be a dream. There was no way he just said that. I pinched myself severally to be sure I wasn’t dreaming and no, I wasn’t waking up from this. My heart was pounding so fast, I thought I would die of a heart attack.
“How do you know I want that?” I asked, shivering a little, daring to hear his reply. He smiled and licked his enticing lips. “I see it in your eyes, bellissima. I see the way you look at me. You want something you know I’m very much capable of giving to you. You want a daddy and I can be your mafia daddy.” He told me and my whole system rearranged. He knew my darkest desires! I grew up with Daddy issues, wanting a man to care for and protect me. A man to provide for me, never letting me worry about anything in the world. A man to pamper me and give me endless orgasms. I wanted a father and a lover in one man. I wanted a Daddy. I’ve been scared to talk about my fantasies with the boys I dated. I didn’t want to seem weird about wanting to call a man ‘daddy’ as he spanked me or fucked me senseless. I wasn’t specifically attracted to older men, no. That wasn’t how my kink worked. I wanted a man with absolute authority but ironically, I avoided them like the plague because I was scared to live out my fantasies. But now, everything I wanted was right in front of me—Vincenzo. “What’s in it for you?” I asked, already thinking of his dark proposal. “I get to have you.” He simply stated with a shrug. I paused for a moment. I was having the greatest contemplation of my life. “So if I accept whatever you’re proposing for thirty one days, you’ll let me go?” I asked to be sure. “Yes.” He nodded. I exhaled and without thinking further, I came to a conclusion. “So what do you have in mind?” I asked, licking my lips, already tasting the steamy passion this dangerous arrangement promised. “A lot.” He said with a devilish smile. “Like what?” Details. I wanted details. “Why don’t we start off by you telling me what you like in bed” He suggested and I bit my lips, suppressing the urge to bit my lips at his seductive words. “Um..” I swallowed, carefully thinking of what to say next. “One time, a guy I was dating in my first year in college spanked me—." “Don’t tell me about other men touching what is mine, Princepessa. Except you want me to track him down and cut off his fingers.” He said, interrupting me. I was quiet for a second, wondering why his possessiveness was so hot to me. I loved the way he was watching me like a predator watching its prey. He was exactly my type of man. Handsome and dangerous. “Sorry.” I whispered. “I like spanking and a little dirty talk.” “Nice start.” He said. “What do you think about having a Dom?” He asked and I felt like my skin was being teased with flames. “I don’t know.” I shrugged, trying to hide the fact that a Dom was exactly what I want—no, exactly what I needed. “Stop lying to me, cara. You’re blushing and I wonder if you blush everywhere too.” He said in a sexy voice as he looked at my breasts lustfully. Thank God they were covered in a shirt, otherwise he would have seen how hard my nipples were getting. “I can try it out. Having a Dom, I mean.” I told him. “Good. Because I want you to be my Submissive.” I immediately thought of my favorite movie—Fifty shades of Grey. “Like Christian Grey?” I asked, stupidly. “I don’t know who the fuck Christian Grey is but it better not be a guy you used to be with.” He said, dangerously. “No, no, he’s a character from my favorite movie.” I quickly clarified. “I hate movies.” He muttered and that was a bummer because I loved movies. “So how do we do this?” I asked, getting too eager to get tied up and fucked and then pampered. Jesus, what was wrong with me? “First, you sign a NDA.” He said and I blinked, perplexed. “Why?” “Because it’s a contract. I give you what you want and you give me what I want. If you breech it you’ll face both legal and illegal consequences.” He told me and I wondered what illegal consequences there would be. “What if you breech it?” I asked. “I won’t.” He simply replied. “Okay.” I nodded, too interested to back out now. There was this intense silent for a moment. “So..” I began, breaking the awkward silence. “Let’s say I sign this NDA. Then what?” I asked and anticipated his reply. A slow wicked grin appeared on his face. “Then, I bring heaven to you.” He told me and that was just the sexiest thing a man could ever say. Vincenzo took me out to a private dress store and not his bedroom which I thought he would. I unashamedly wanted to go to pound town with this dangerous hot man and not a dress store. “Pick any dress you want.” He told me and then went ahead to sit on a couch and crossed his legs, his arms rested on the armrests. I turned around, feeling his eyes on me as I took a look at the dresses in front of me. There was a pretty white short dress with rose prints on it. I loved it. “I like this one.” I told him and that was a mistake because when I checked the price tag, I almost choked. Nine hundred dollars for a dress!? “Nine hundred dollars.” I gasped, staring at the price tag. “Put it on.” He told me as he stood up from his seat, ignoring the fact that I just mentioned the dress was Nine hundred. I prodded to the changing room and put on the dress, it looked really nice on me, accentuating my curves and was just below my ass. “Dio Mio.” Vincenzo muttered when I twirled for him. He prowled towards me and put his hand gently around my neck. “Don’t ever check the price tag of a dress when I’m paying for it. I run more than half of Chicago and I've got more money than you can ever imagine, mi amore. Whatever my kitten wants, she gets.” He said and I hadn’t even recovered from his sexy words before he slammed a possessive kiss on my mouth. It was our first kiss and without a doubt, the best kiss I've ever had. His tongue was hot and minty, twirling in my mouth as we sucked on each other like hormone crazed teenagers making out. But, Vincenzo was no teenager, he was a man and I could feel every part of his strong and muscular body. In the dreamy moment of kissing, I accidentally slid my hand to his crotch and felt something hard! I gasped into his mouth, realizing what it was. I moaned out loud, wanting to feel more by using my body to rub on it but just then, he ended the kiss abruptly. “Stay here while I go pay for it.” He whispered against my lips before walking away to the cashier who was probably watching us kiss seconds ago. I counted to three before rushing back into the changing room with something in my shaky hands—his phone! I wanted to call my sister, she didn’t deserve to be worried sick about me while I was out here about to sign a NDA to get all my dirty fantasies fulfilled by a handsome super rich dangerous mafia boss! But how the hell do I call my sister with his damn phone when it was locked!? “0-8-0-4-0-8.” I heard him call behind me and I slowly turned knowing I was in big trouble. He caught me!“I’m sorry, please, I’m sorry.” I kept whispering as Vincenzo pulled me out of the store and flung me into his limo. “Drive!” He growled his chauffeur . “To where sir?” “Just fucking drive!” He snapped and then forcefully pulled me into him, his eyes all fiery on mine. “Did you think I wouldn’t know my own phone was being slipped out of my pocket? I felt your tiny hand the second it went behind me.” He said with his harsh minty breath pouring on my face. “I’m really sorry, I just wanted to call my sister and my mom would be so worried and—.” I didn’t get to finish my statement before he shut me up with a kiss. Oh goodness, this man kisses were orgasmic. I felt the intensity all the way down there as he took my mouth hungrily like a depraved. man. He pressed a button beside us and the partition closed. “Lie across my laps.” He rasped against my lips, not even allowing me to recover from the mind blowing kiss he just gave me. “What?” I mumbled like I hadn’t heard him w
I have never been to a casino before but, the one Vincenzo took me to was just magnificent. It had everything and more with rich and powerful looking men everywhere.“This is nice, whoever it belongs to must be really rich.” I said to Vincenzo, astonished as I looked around the huge place while we walked further in.“Yeah. I am really rich.” He said and I whipped my gaze to him.“It’s yours?” I asked with wide eyes.“Yes and about four others.” He replied, casually as he settled us into a table.“Are you really a drug dealer?” The question was out before I could think of it. I watched his handsome face for an annoyed expression but there was none.“Do you really want to know?” He asked with a smirk. I thought for a moment and then shook my head no. “Hi boss. Good to see you.” A pretty red haired girl in black and white cooperate short dress was suddenly at our table with a menu.She eyed me a little before turning to smile at her boss.“Château Cheval Blanc.” Vincenzo said t
The sound of cars zooming into the compound jerked me out of deep thoughts. I was alone in the room, cast in darkness, waiting for Vincenzo to return. I was still in the white dress he bought me which was now tainted with blood—a man’s blood. I could still hear the starling sound of the gun shot that dropped him dead. I didn’t wait for ‘Mr Kill Everyone That Touches What’s Mine’ to come up to my room. Instead, I wrapped my tangled hair up and marched downstairs in anger. “Are you done shooting the whole of Chicago?” I asked on sight of him. His back was to me as he poured himself a drink from the bar. “Oh my god..” I gasped when he turned around. Blood everywhere. He looked like he’d tore those men limb from limb. He downed his entire drink and slammed the tumbler on the table. “Erica, go run me a bath.” He told the aged maid who was standing like a statue by the entrance. She nodded and left. I noticed how she wasn’t even surprised by the bloody look on her boss. He pro
A large room silhouetted in a dim red light. That was what I was standing in. My pulse was drumming in my ears as I looked around in utter devastation. Vincenzo had a red room. An actual red room properly equipped with some familiar and unfamiliar BDSM items. Catching my attention first was the red four poster bed, it looked so comfy and enticing. There were Chains, handcuffs, leather belts, whips and I had to squint hard to be sure of what was next to the gags--Packets of candy!“You have a red room.” I whispered to him like he wasn't aware.“Pleasure room.” He corrected but to me, it meant the same thing.He held my sweaty hand and took me further into the room.“This is how I give and take pleasure. I wanted to properly prepare you for it but it seems I’ve got an impatient little brat on my hands.” He glanced over at me, a dangerous look flashed in his hard eyes. “Are you up for it, vanilla girl?”Vanilla girl? Was that meant to be a rile up?I lifted a confident chin at him
“I can’t, I can’t, no more..” I moaned, twisting on the soft bed, my wrists cuffed to the horizontal pole above me. I was being ravished, devoured, eaten… any word you could use to describe the manner in which my mafia daddy was eating me out like a starved man. “You can and you will.” He growled directly on my buzzing and dripping core before he took another hot swipe at it. I shuddered, a fresh wave of intense orgasm washed over me as his hot skillful tongue twirled inside of me. When he was done lapping me clean, he released my weak legs and moved up to cup my damp face in his big paws. “Are you okay, cara ?” He asked, cleaning the tears of pleasure from my cheeks. Butterflies fluttered in my tummy at the kind gesture. “I think.” I smiled, weakly. Never again would I date a man incapable of giving me an orgasm. Vincenzo had set the bar too high and I feared I may be ruined for other men. He held me in his strong arms, the scent of his manly musk intoxicated me. We
I flew to Las Vegas with Vincenzo with only a black lacy dress which I was wearing. There was literally nothing for me to pack up. He didn’t pack either. He mentioned we were going shopping as soon as we landed.Our first stop was a huge mall. Vince held me in his arms like I was going to run off, forcing me upstairs to the clothing stores.He told me to pick whatever I wanted but I declined. I wasn’t in the mood. He didn’t care obviously, he just began shopping for me.“I need my phone to text my sister.” I spoke up as we got to the jewelry aisle.“That’s out of the question.” He said, dismissively.I scoffed, my nerves flaring up. “Am I kidnapped!” “Actually, Yes. Yes, you are kidnapped. Will that make you shut your pretty mouth?” I had this insane urge to step on his expensive looking shoes but I didn’t, I just looked away.“When do I get to call her again?” I asked, hoping for a reasonable answer.“Until the contract is over.” He answered, his attention fully on the sil
I felt so stupid, peeping through the slit of the plain grey curtains in the expensive suite Vince had booked. I watched him and Luca smoke and chat on the balcony like inseparable siblings.How could I not have noticed the resemblance? They looked too much alike. Almost same height, almost same build, same dark hair and from the angle I was, they looked like twins!I gasped, moving away from the curtain when they both turned towards the room. I quickly went into the bed and pretended to be asleep. “I hope she’ll be coming with us to the masquerade ball.” I heard Luca say to Vince.He sighed. “If she behaves for the rest of the day, she might come.” He replied. “She’s quite the wild cat, you know.”At this, Luca burst into laughter.“Then you have exactly what you need, brother.” He said.I waited until they were both out of the room before I opened my eyes but I had to shut them back when I caught sight of Vince returning. “Get up.” He growled above me.Fuck. He knew I was
I stared at my reflection in the mirror and I couldn’t recognize the glamourous woman staring back. I looked like a princess draped in luxury. The hairstylist had done a wonderful job and the make up was subtle but defined. I touched my neck, imagining a beautiful jewelry around it and just then, Vince entered with a small box in his hand. He looked so different in a white cooperate shirt but handsome nevertheless. His hair was still wet from showering, his perfectly tailored dark slacks molded to his powerful thighs. “I picked the green dress. It looked better with my eyes.” I said, rubbing my hands down the beautiful emerald dress I was wearing. The smooth, cool fabric soothed my aching backside. He said nothing in reply, his icy eyes all fixed on me. “Vince--.” I tried to say something but I pressed my lips together when he turned me around to face the mirror again. He took out a dazzling silver jewelry from the box and fixed it around my smooth neck. “Thank you. It
There was a white Porsche parked in Joyce's driveway. It had a huge red ribbon on it, some pink balloons and a bouquet of roses."What. The. Hell?" Joyce stood, arms folded in bewilderment.I was stunned, watching my birthday gift like it would disappear in a moment. I caught sight of the card hung in the screen. I picked it up and untied the tiny pink ribbon on it.It read:HAPPY BIRTHDAY MI AMORE— VOf course, it was him.Who else would it be?I remembered telling him I wanted my first car to be a white Porsche, and now that I had recently gotten my driver's license, it was the best gift ever!"We need to talk, Jessica," Joyce finally spoke after minutes of watching me fawn all over my new car.She was worried, and she had a good reason to be."Talk about what?" I took the flowers, heading back into the house. She was right behind me."Everything! This Vincenzo guy! I thought you were drunk and joking last night!" she said.I had dreaded this conversation, but it was long overdue."
Life changed so much. No drama. No danger. No pleasure. Just back to my old self. I moved in with Joyce, after a series of back and forth with her. My mom had also threatened to kill herself if I didn't. Everywhere I went, there was a tall man in all black and dark shades following me. I wasn't worried about that; I knew he was one of Vince's men. I had just three weeks left in college, and I had to make the most of it, but I was waist-deep in heartbreak, struggling to get by every day. I wanted to quit, but quitting was for losers, and I wasn't one. Life changed... but it continued. "Guess whose birthday is coming up soon?" Penny sing-sang, suddenly appearing behind me. I was getting some books from the library before heading home. "Oh, Penny, you still remember my birthday?" I groaned, not really enthusiastic about celebrating anything. "Of course! April 18th, 1999. Could never forget my favorite girl's birthday." She hugged me, and when I squeaked, she jumped off of me. "H
My eyes fluttered open to the sight of a cannula taped to my arm. I felt numb, my heart beating too slowly--like I was barely alive.I shifted slightly, and pain seared through my side, making me wince. That’s when the mattress dipped beside me and I felt someone sat next to me.“Cara,” came a gruff voice.I felt the strong, veiny arms next to me, trailing up to broad biceps and then--“Luca,” I whispered. My mouth was dry as sand.His lips twitched slightly and I noticed a cut there--actually, several cuts. His face was all battered and bruised.“What happened to you?” I asked. He looked like he’d just crawled out of hell.“I don’t have much time,” he rasped, shaking his head. His eyes, those big, tormented blue eyes, were filled with agony.“What do you mean?” My voice was hoarse, too weak.“When I was five, my father burned me with a hot rod...” His voice cracked. My brows drew together, confused by his sudden words.He lifted his shirt, revealing a dark, twisted mark on his side.
I was sat on Fabiano's thick, sweaty thighs against my will. He had a gun pressed to my lower back, tracing slow, mocking circles with its cold tip.I couldn’t even cry. I was paralyzed with fear.Luca stood by the window, watching like a robot with no emotions. He wasn't going to help me. Vince still hadn't found me.I was really fucked this time.“Isn’t she pretty, Luca?” Fabiano said suddenly, shattering the suffocating silence.He blew a stream of hot cigar smoke across my bare arm, making me shiver.“You do know Vince is probably scouring the earth for her right now, right?” Luca’s eyes were locked on Fabiano like a hawk’s—unwavering.Fabiano hummed. Then he leaned in to place a soft kiss on my nape. I squirmed as goosebumps rippled across my skin.“Of course. She means the universe to him. But he knows better than to be reckless. Otherwise, I'll—” He made a clicking sound with his tongue as he lifted the barrel against my neck.Luca sprang forward. “I’d die before I let you harm
I gasped, breath filling my lungs as I regained consciousness.I was on a soft bed, a four-poster pink bed. I looked around and noticed I was in a bright room. Nice furniture, white curtains. The air was fresh and citrusy. It reminded me of home.“Cara?” a familiar voice called from the direction of the door.It was half open, dark curly hair peering in.“Luca?” I squinted. He stepped inside, a glass of water in his hand. He was in a clean white shirt and black sweatpants. He looked like any nice, handsome guy.An image of him staring down at me as I went unconscious flashed through my mind.He drugged me!“What is this!? What’s happening?” I scurried out of the bed. I staggered a little as my head ached and my vision blurred.“Calm down, Cara—” He reached for me.“Don’t...” I stopped him. I could barely stand; I felt all weak. My head was spinning, so I had to sit on the chair behind me. “What did you do to me?”“I helped you,” he nodded. His eyes were strangely so different—like som
~~LUCA~~They were back together.Imagine that. I was right at the corner of her apartment, watching them in his car for more than an hour. I wondered if they had sex. I couldn’t see because the windows were tinted.Also, he spent the night. He actually slept over. For the first time, I thought of hurting my brother.The next morning, I waited outside her classroom door, needing—no, craving—a conversation we should’ve had long ago.As the students poured out, I braced myself for the sight of her.“Luca,” she gasped when she saw me, startled like she’d seen a ghost.She looked so pure. So virginal in that soft white dress. Vince bought that dress. I knew his taste—classy and expensive.“You don’t reply to my calls or texts anymore,” I said, my voice tight.I tried hiding all the hurt I felt from last night.“School. It’s just school. Too many classes,” she replied, breathless.“Not Vince?” I asked, eyeing her. I wished she would just tell the truth.“What? No! I…” Her voice faded.I wa
Darren had wanted another date before I left—quite hurriedly—Penny's home, but I wasn’t prepared for that. I thought we were moving too fast and needed to slow down.I needed to move on from the trauma of being with Vince before starting fresh with anyone.But instead of moving on, I missed him. I missed him so much, and I hated myself for that.Seeing Vince cry was always jarring, and that heartbreaking mental image was plastered in my memory.God, I wanted to see him again. I needed to see him again.Once in my apartment, I changed into the pink fluffy PJs he got me and took a cute selfie. I posted it on my Insta story with the caption: 'Feeling lonely', hoping the thirsty men in my followers would stay off and that a certain someone would get the message.It didn’t take a minute before he viewed it—he’d been stalking my socials since we fought. It made me feel a little mushy.Some hours later, as I was finishing up a write-up on my laptop, I heard the roaring of a car downstairs. D
~~VINCENZO~~ It had been exactly two weeks, three days, and twelve hours since I cried like a fucking kid in front of a girl a decade younger than I was. I hadn’t even cried when my father was shot before my very eyes. I hadn’t cried when my mother cut me off from her life. I hadn’t cried when my late wife left me for another man—and everyone branded me her killer. But this tiny woman, this little brat, made me spill tears. How fucked up was that? All the hurtful words she said to me that night were still burned into my heart, branded onto my soul. Every night, I had nightmares about it. I missed her terribly—more than I was bold enough to admit. And soon, that longing turned into something else--I began to stalk her. I stalked her socials, tracked her day-to-day schedule and routine. She visited the library every Tuesday and Thursday immediately after her last class. She ate cereal before going to bed on Fridays. She applied lip gloss just before getting on the bus--she ha
It had been two weeks since I last saw Vince—two weeks since I had the biggest breakdown of my life. If I could turn back time, I'd end whatever toxicity we had all over again. Still, I missed him terribly. He respected my decision—and surprisingly, that hurt even more. No calls, no texts, no surprise visits.Luca, on the other hand, sent sweet texts, flowers, and visited once or twice. Not that we kissed or anything. No—I was having a fresh start. No more mafia men. Just me.Going back to college for the final lap was as exciting as it was tedious. The projects, the important classes... I couldn't wait to get it over with and move to Seattle, where my dream publishing company was. Chicago held too many sad memories for me—especially because of him."Jessieeee, my brother just liked a cute photo of you I posted last night!" Penny, my closest friend, squealed excitedly. We were having ice cream in her new convertible, soaking up the beautiful day. For some reason, she’d been trying to
