Becoming The Mafia Queen 154. The Don’s Proposal
SOFIAI woke up gasping for air, my heart racing so fast it hurt. For a second, I couldn't tell what was real. Everything was wet and dark in my head as I imagined Marco's hands pushing me down, water filling my lungs, and his face hovering above mine with that same cruel grin I saw before I killed him. I shot up immediately, grabbing at my throat, and the sound that left me was like a half scream and a half sob.Adrian was already awake, sitting up beside me. He didn't ask what was wrong, because he didn't need to. He just pulled me against him and let me cry into his chest. His skin was warm and steady, and it reminded me that this was real, not the horrible nightmares I’d been having. I clung to him like I'd fall apart otherwise, while he kept whispering that I was safe, and that it was all over. But no matter how hard I tried to convince myself that that was true, I just couldn't shake the image in my head. I could still feel the cold water, and I could still feel Marco's fingers
Becoming The Mafia Queen 153. The Taste of Victory
SOFIAThe room was like a battlefield in a matter of seconds, and my lungs burned from the smoke that filled it. Bullets ripped through the air, shattering glass and tearing holes through the leather chairs. I dove behind the marble column near the wine cabinet, clutching my gun so tightly that my knuckles turned white. Adrian was on the other side of the room, crouched behind the piano and firing several shots that kept Don Vito's men pinned down."Left flank!" Adrian shouted, pointing over his shoulder as our eyes met. I swung out from cover and fired three rounds toward the guard who was trying to creep up on him. The man dropped instantly, his rifle clattering across the floor. Another one came at me from behind the bar, and I hit the ground just as his bullet grazed my arm. The pain was sharp and hot, but it didn't slow me down. I rolled to my stomach and aimed, then I shot him through the chest.Don Vito barked orders from behind his desk, and he was clearly furious and panicke
Becoming The Mafia Queen 152. The Final Battle
ADRIANThe ride to Don Vito's estate felt too quiet. Sofia sat beside me with her legs crossed, staring out the tinted window while the driver cut through the dim Malibu streets. The night outside was calm, but I could feel the tension in the air. She looked beautiful in her black tights and those boots that made her look dangerous. Her hair was pulled back in a tight ponytail, but it did something to me. I'd been trying not to stare, but it was impossible.I shifted slightly, feeling the gun pressing against my ribs beneath the jacket. My mind kept drifting to what could go wrong, and all the ways this could end with both of us dead. But I didn't want her to see that. I wanted to look steady and composed, the way she always remembered me."You're quiet," she said softly, still not looking at me."I'm just thinking," I answered."About what?""About how bad this could go," I said with a dry laugh.She turned to me then, and her face was calm but her eyes were uneasy as she said, "You'
Becoming The Mafia Queen 151. The Safe Word
SOFIAAdrian and I sat down at the little table in my kitchen and ate dinner, after we’d finished making love the entire day and then cooking up some pasta and garlic, and whatever else I could pull together fast. Adrian watched me the whole time, as if he was trying to memorize all my small movements and every inch of my face. It made me feel ridiculous and safe at the same time, and I stopped to kiss him whenever I met his gaze while cooking. "So," he said in between bites, "are you worried about Don Vito's thing tomorrow night?"“I should be asking you that,” I replied. “You’re the one walking into the luon’s den.”“Trust me, Don Vito isn’t a lion,” he chuckled. “He’s more like a constipated kitten.”We both laughed at that, and he reached over and took my hand in his. I could tell that he was worried about me, even though I was the one losing my mind over him. If things went south tomorrow and Don Vito got the upper hand, Adrian would be in serious danger. But I wasn’t about to l
Becoming The Mafia Queen 150. The Lovers Reunion
SOFIAOkay, maybe throwing myself into his arms and kissing him was a bad idea. In hindsight, that wasn’t my brightest moment. But my brain just shut down completely at the sight of him, and it was as if I was back to my default setting, where I was still hopelessly in love with him and all I could think about was how badly I wanted to be with him. Adrian hesitated for a moment, but then his arms wrapped around me and he pulled me against him. He devoured me as he deepened the kiss, and I gasped when his tongue invaded my mouth. Oh God, I’d missed him so much. I’d missed this heat, this fiery passion between us that made me feel like my skin was on fire. I wanted all of him, and I wanted him now. “Damn!” he said as he pulled back to look at me. “I was not expecting that.”“Shut up and kiss me,” I growled, pulling him back towards me and kissing him again. His hands sat on my waist, holding me flush against his rock hard abs and causing my head to spin. He tasted so warm, so familiar
Becoming The Mafia Queen 149. The Ticking Clock
SOFIAThe morning air was cool and quiet when I started running. The streets were mostly empty, except for a few early commuters, a couple of dog walkers, and the sound of my sneakers hitting the pavement in a steady rhythm. I'd been jogging for maybe fifteen minutes, but my mind hadn't stopped replaying the same thought over and over again of the message I'd sent Adrian last night.We need to talk.It looked simple on the screen, and I kept telling myself that it was just four words. But pressing send had felt like throwing a stone into deep water where you know it's going to make ripples, but you just don't know how far they'll spread.I kept running, trying to clear my head but it didn't work. The city felt heavy this morning, or maybe that was just me. Every time I thought about seeing Adrian again, I felt that same mix of guilt and longing that never seemed to fade. I'd told myself I wanted to meet because it was necessary, because of Don Vito and Marco Giordano, and because of t
