BLACK SUN: From One Monster to Another 59
Taryn VescariVittorio's words burned into my chest as I glared at him in the cold harbor night."Would you rather I tuck that paper back inside your bra?" Vittorio asked, his dark eyes glittering with ruthless amusement.My skin flashed hot, a rush of dirty heat coiling straight in my gut at the image of his large, calloused hands sliding against my bare breasts. I clamped my teeth together, trying to force the reaction down. "Is this going to be your sick little game until your underworld doctor severs whatever this chemical tether is between us?""Afraid so," Vittorio muttered, stopping his heavy stride cold on the wet asphalt. "Feel free to picture my hands on you when you're lying in bed next to your murderous leader.""As opposed to standing next to my murderous rival?" I spat back."You don't know a damn thing about me, Taryn," he replied, his voice dropping into a dangerous, dark rasp.My heart hammered violently against my ribs, a toxic mix of lust and terror suffocating my t
BLACK SUN: From One Monster to Another 58
Taryn VescariThe heavy weight of the envelope tucked deep inside my sports bra kept me from closing my eyes. I was exhausted, every bone aching from the beating Luciano gave me, but the sheer panic kept my pulse hammering. Sitting on the cold concrete of the cellar frame, I couldn't stop questioning everything.Was this document really the dead-end leak Enzo Caradonna intended to deliver to the Commission, or was it a staged piece of bait? What if Vittorio Moretti was playing me for a complete fool? Just because a electric, terrifying heat spiked through my blood whenever he touched my skin didn't mean I could trust the Don of the Moretti Syndicate.On the flip side, I knew I could no longer trust Rocco Falcone. I had let him into my bed at Belladonna Flats, believing I could leave the street trauma behind, but locked in this basement, the brutal truth was clear. I was a fool to ever let a syndicate heir touch me. Forgiving a man for using you as a decoy wasn't the same as trusting h
BLACK SUN: From One Monster to Another 57
Taryn VescariMy mind whirled as I took in everything Vittorio Moretti had said before slamming that heavy iron door. Why did the Don of the Moretti Syndicate reveal all of that to a captured runner? Was it because Enzo Caradonna was cutting ties with the Vescari District and couldn't follow through on their secret deal, or was it just a sick mind game to mess with my head?If Vittorio wasn't lying to me, someone inside the Falcone family had executed Don Salvatore Falcone. Why would he drop a bomb like that on me? And what had Rocco Falcone really sent my crew to extract from the Moretti vault?It was never just about pulling dirty financial ledgers to put Enzo behind bars. The real motive hit me like a physical blow to the chest. The Falcone capos wanted the identity of Don Salvatore's assassin, but they had kept me completely in the dark when they sent me through that vault window.I sprinted across the concrete cell and grabbed the iron bars, instantly regretting it as severe fric

Taryn Vescari"Good news, Vescari," Luciano said, keys jingling against the iron door lock. "My guys caught one of your crew members alive."Vittorio wanted me to turn Rainer Volkov over to the Syndicate, claiming he carried the sole fallout for the vault job. I couldn't tell if the dizziness pounding behind my eyes was from pure stress or total lack of food."I don't see how that's good news for anyone," I said, my back pressed hard against the cellar wall. "I have exactly one partner in this town, and Sienna is sitting safely at Belladonna Flats.""Ah, the righteous street orphan," Luciano sneered. "Does it help your appetite to know two of your conspirators weren't so lucky?"My pulse spiked hard. "What are you talking about?""They split up after your vault distraction went sideways," Luciano said, unlocking the latch. "We caught three of them holed up near the district line. Two of them didn't make it to the holding cells.""You killed two runners?" I demanded, pushing myself off
BLACK SUN: From One Monster to Another 55
Taryn Vescari"If Rainer Volkov names you as a conspirator to the Commission, you're as good as dead," Vittorio said, his dark eyes locked on mine in the dim cellar light."Why are you telling me this?" I asked, forcing my voice to stay steady despite the brutal throb in my jaw."As much as I wish it wasn't true, there is something undeniable pulling us together, so I don't really want you to die," he said, his long fingers relaxing slightly against my nape."You sound real torn up about it," I said sardonically, trying to ignore how his heat flooded straight down to my core."I could have Luciano put a bullet in your head right now if that would make you feel better," he said, his thumb tracing my lower lip.I narrowed my eyes, studying his stone-cold face. He was trying to intimidate me, but there was something hollow behind his dangerous threat. It was entirely different from how he’d acted when his enforcers dragged me off the driveway. What if this intense, sick physical connecti

Taryn VescariKicking and twisting against the iron grip pinned across my shoulder blades, I fought to break free. "Let me go!""Keep her quiet!" a guard barked from the corridor."Better yet, knock her out," another growled.A heavy leather glove swung toward my face, and the cellar went pitch black.My head throbbed with a brutal, sickening pulse as my eyes fluttered open. The dim, yellow glow of a single hanging bulb stung my vision. I dragged myself up into a sitting position on the narrow metal cot, but the basement room spun so violently I had to squeeze my eyes shut and press my back against the damp brick wall.I was locked right back inside the lowest holding cell of the Moretti Palazzo. Twice I’d tried to break out into the Vescari District, and twice Vittorio’s Syndicate enforcers had dragged me down by my neck. The memory of my confrontation in the parlor with Vittorio slammed into my head all at once, making my skin flush hot.Was he really telling the truth about Rocco F
