CIELLO POVI said nothing. Not because I had nothing to say, trust me I had a lot. But I knew all the words that would leave my mouth were going to determine my fate. And at this point, I wasn’t sure if it would be ideal to die by HER hand, or at least by one of the bosses. I knew my boundaries, I knew where to draw the line and where to cross it, right about now, I knew it intimately that I was going to get in deep shit.One way or the other.“Hey you, ugly pants. What’s your name again?” I snorted laughter as she addressed the Mexican guy seating in the front seat with me, entrusted by Xander to protect her. There were four of us, and that was supposed to be low-key.“Chino, Senora.” He replied looking out through the binoculars in his hands. He wasn’t really ugly, he just had an awful style of dressing and heck. The name was fuckin’ befitting.“Okay. Now tell me this, Chino; can I trust you?” “Of course, senora.” He replied almost instantly, and I saw how hard he was trying to prov

LORENZO POV“Anything suspicious?”“Not up until now,” I replied softly to Xander while managing to keep my gaze at ease, roaming around easily and feigning surprise and awe, while in reality, I was trying to make out something. “Then we should climb up to our alcove,” Verzi called out, and I nodded following him closely behind. We climbed the stairs that took us to the second floor of the club, where the VIP booths were located overlooking the buzzing dance floor below. The whole club was on cloud nine, with loud pop music pouring out of the music system causing everyone to go wild. People were whooping themselves and gliding against wet, sweaty bodies on the dance floor. The heavy stench of sweat, alcohol, and cocaine reigned in the air. I may have been mistaken, but I could have sworn I caught a whiff scent of sex in the air. Chicago was indeed was it was known for. The Sin City.We arrived in our booth and barmaids were quick to be on our beg-and-call, ready to serve us rotten.

XANDER POV“They are expecting their shipment on Tuesday. We got the inside information.”Ciello informed standing in front of the three of us. We were back at the grand hotel after a long night, and I would rather say, whatever Matteo said to the boys was well shitty because they have been like dollop heads all the way back, refusing to talk to anyone about anything and leaving me all alone and bored. “And how did you manage to get it?” Lorenzo was surprisingly calm, considering the fact that Vernero was about to make someone shit bricks was rather puzzling. He directed the question to Ciello who fidgeted for a second, then glanced with his eyes screaming ‘HELP ME’. I thinned my eyes at him trying to figure out what the hell they have been up to the whole night when their job was to keep Leigh-Ari safe, and hidden. Or at least that is how they were all instructed.“Ciello?”“Well…” He mumbled glancing back at me, and this time, I cocked my brow at him. I was damn sure that what he wa

XANDER POVI wanted nothing more than to throw the phone somewhere in the bushes where we were hiding, or capture a motherfucker and claw their skin off from how irritated I was. But I couldn’t, not this time or all of this would go down the drain.But still, what the hell was she thinking? How could she insist on coming here when she knew damn well that it was going to get bloody? Because one way or another, there was going to be some serious shooting and loss of lives. Feds or no feds. I know that rationally, we had to leave the whole operation in the hands of the feds and let them take care of everything, but these polished bastards knew no cap about how the mafia world ran, so I didn’t trust them to capture bloody Russians.But then she… Fuckin’ hell. If something happened to her, I was going to kill someone. Blood cold. I leaned against the tree and willed myself to calm the fuck down. She was Leigh-Ari for goodness sake. No words said by me or angels were going to be enough to

LORENZO POV“Mi dispiace, what the fuck did you say?”My hand paused midair as I was about to take a gulp of my drink. The guy dressed in black stepped further into the room and nodded at both Ava and Val who were nestled on the couch.“Xander got shot, but we managed to seize the Russians. Matteo is in captive as well as Julia. Some of them are dead, and the rest are in the hands of the feds.” He repeated his words for the second.“Xander, how bad is he?”“He got shot in the shoulder, so it’s not fatal.” Ari will sit beside herself if she hears this.“Okay.” I replied shortly and the downed the rest of the whiskey before staring into the raging flames in the fire place. My mind wandered of all the times I have stayed behind while my brother did the dirty work. One thing I knew is that he would rather choke on a dick than to have my hands sullied and soiled. He preferred it when I stayed on the top, dealing with the shit from the civilized side. I never fought him, because I wanted to

LEIGH-ARI POVThe whole charade had been without a flaw. It was almost impossible to just sit down and relax over a glass of Champaign to celebrate the victory because something about it didn’t feel quite right. I hated the feeling that gnawed deep inside me. It was as if the whole thing had been some shitty paranormal story where fairies saved us from all shit. And this was the mafia. It was as real as it ever gets.When arriving in Beverly Hills, I instructed Xander’s men to keep our little trophies in the basement and give them enough water to survive the night. I was drained, too tired to even work on them. So as soon as we hopped off the big cars, I headed straight to the house without glaring back, only to run smack-dab into Laura who made it a deal to engulf me in the biggest hug.“Oh, my gaaah. I have been dying here without you.” Couldn’t she just shut up? Like for a second?I patted her back lightly before withdrawing from her so loving embrace, and that is when everyone got

LEIGH-ARI POV“You are so beautiful.”Someone purred, I don’t know who. Because there were just too many of them fawning all over my body and all of their touches were like a drug that sent my mind into limbo, driving me insane.“So fuckin’ beautiful.” Another one chimed, and I found myself quaking against the bed trying to get a grip of reality. But I couldn’t, not with them all over me like this. The lust laced in their sultry voices as they purred to me softly was enough to make me shiver with pleasure and utmost need. I was in need of love, THEIR love, and all the promises it carried.A hot, wet tongue darted out and licked lazily around my puckered nipple, wrenching weird little cries from my throat, cries I never knew I was capable of making. It was all too good, and in that haze of lust, I tried making them out, because no matter what, they were different in the way they touched me, yet undeniably and agreeably efficient into making me the horniest bitch on earth.“Please…” I mo

XANDER POVWhen dawn broke over the horizon, we were barely done with our MAKE THEM PAY 101 operation. But I tell you, the whole basement was in a nice shade of red, covered completely in blood. I got up from my seat and gave myself a nice stretch, which made my bones crack in all delicious ways. Damn, I have never felt this… enlightened. This enthralled. I cast a glance at Vernero to find him wiping his hands with some cloth he cut off Matteo’s shirt. His face was rock hard, and with blood stains all over those tattoos, he looked like the devil himself, and for a single second, a sizzle of tremor coursed through my entire body. I walked to where Matteo was lying, with his body… short I say, his once-perfect body mauled to perfection. Guys, after God, fear Vernero. I am sure even the devil down in the innermost pits of hell cursed every time he woke up to take a piss. That man, yikes! Even words fail me.I walked to where Matteo was lying, trembling from a different kind of pain,
