LOGINMichael Carter is an undercover FBI agent on a mission to take down ruthless mafia king Fernando Ramírez—the man he believes killed his sister. But getting close to Fernando means playing a dangerous game, one where seduction and power blur the lines between enemy and lover. When Michael uncovers a shocking truth, his thirst for revenge turns into a fight for something far more dangerous—his own heart. Now, torn between duty and desire, he must decide: destroy the man he swore to take down or surrender to the one thing he never saw coming. Love has never been more lethal.

I gripped the bedsheets as I gritted my teeth and buried my face into the soft mattress, feeling Marlo’s sweat falling on my back and soft moans escaping his lips while he continued thrusting with more strength than necessary. "Fuck, you're so tight" he said. I bit back the pain that was building within me and tried my best to endure whatever pain I could feel in my hole. This was all a means to an end. Before I could process my thoughts any further, he turned me around, his muscular arms wrapping around me. He knelt on the bed and raised me to sit on his hard cock. I stared at him, wondering what sex position he intended to do this time. After spending more than twenty minutes servicing his dick and nipples, I was already exhausted. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back on his hand and gave me one the ugliest smirk I have ever seen escape the lips of a man. "Ride me until I burst inside you" Marlo said, his breath resting on my face. He brought his lips to mine and I tried to avoid whatever he planned to do, but I wasn’t fast enough. Marlo sucked my lower lip while his tongue evaded my mouth and ran around my walls. "That's enough" I whispered, my disgust beginning to show no matter how much I tried to hide it. Thankfully, he released his hold on my lips and laid back, his hands placed behind his head as his eyes told me to begin the task he has given to me. Ugh. In the darkness, I rolled my eyes, my anger almost simmering beneath the surface. I raised my knees and instead of kneeling down, I squatted over his dick, my momentum building. I began slowly at first then increased my speed and watched as Marlo’s eyes rolled to the back of his head in ecstacy. His moans filled my ears and although I hated having sex with him, the fact that I held this much power over him at this instant was enough to make a smile appear on my face. "I'm close. I'm going to cum" he said. He attempted to jerk me off but I threw his hand away from my throbbing dick and allowed him to reach climax. Finally, it was over. I laid on my back, staring at the ceiling, my chest rising and falling in slow, controlled breaths. The sheets beneath me were damp with sweat, but the warmth of Marlo’s body next to mine made my skin crawl. The room smelled of sweat and whiskey, of regret and desperation. I turned my head slightly, watching him sleep, his face relaxed in the dim glow of the bedside lamp. He looked peaceful—satisfied. Meanwhile, I felt nothing but irritation gnawing at the edges of my patience. I hadn’t wanted this. I hadn’t enjoyed a single second of it. But I had needed to do it. Marlo wasn’t just another of Fernando Ramirez’s men—he was one of his highest-ranking lieutenants. He was a man with influence. A man with access. And that access was exactly what I, as well as the FBI, needed if I wanted to bring Fernando down. Fernando Ramirez. Just thinking his name sent a rush of fury through me. His Mafia crime family had spread like a plague across the city, untouchable, operating in the shadows while law enforcement remained powerless. My sister—my only family—had been caught in his violence and she lost her life. A victim of his greed, his brutality. She hadn’t deserved it. She hadn’t deserved any of it. I clenched my jaw, forcing my thoughts back to the present. Dwelling on the past wouldn’t help me now. Right now, my priority was getting to that exclusive party Fernando was throwing in a few days. Only his most trusted men would be allowed inside, and Marlo was one of them. That’s why I had done this. But now, I needed Marlo to wake the hell up. I nudged him with my elbow. “Hey.” He didn’t stir. I frowned, shifting to my side and shaking his shoulder. “Marlo.” A tired groan escaped his lips, but he barely opened his eyes. His arm was placed lazily over his stomach, his breathing slow and deep. “Marlo, wake up,” I tried again, this time a little more forceful. “We had a deal, remember?” Nothing. I rolled my eyes, frustration bubbling in my chest. “You said you would help me get in,” I reminded him, keeping my voice even. “I need that tag. You said you would vouch for me.” Marlo mumbled something that sounded like nonsense, shifting slightly before settling back into sleep. Useless. I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. There was no point in trying to reason with him right now. He was out cold, probably from the alcohol he had drank earlier. I would have to handle this myself. My eyes flicked to the bedside table where his identification tag lay—his ticket to the party. His access to Fernando. Carefully, I slid out of bed, moving with the precision of a trained agent. My muscles were tense as I reached for the tag, keeping my movements slow, deliberate. One wrong move, and I would wake him. The metal tag was cool against my fingertips as I picked it up, slipping it into the pocket of my discarded jeans on the floor. I dressed quickly, shoving my arms into my shirt, buttoning it hastily. As I reached for the door, my heart pounded with a mix of adrenaline and anticipation. I had done it. I had what I needed. But the moment I pulled the door open, every cell in my body froze. Standing in the doorway, his figure looming in the dimly lit hallway, was Fernando Ramirez. His dark eyes locked onto mine, unreadable, terrifyingly calm. He was taller than I expected, broader, his presence suffocating. The air around him felt heavy, charged with something dangerous. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. His lips curled slightly—not quite a smirk, but something close. “Well, well well,” he said, his voice deep, smooth, laced with quiet authority. “Going somewhere?” My heart slammed against my ribs, but I forced my face to remain neutral, my mind racing. I was in trouble. Big trouble.Ashley's POVI didn’t realize I had stopped breathing until the room tilted slightly around me. For a heartbeat, all I heard was a low humming in my ears, like my brain was desperately trying to get through the words Don Santiago had just said. They made no sense, they shouldn’t have made sense but he kept speaking as if he hadn’t just let off a bomb in the center of my world.“You look surprised,” he said, his voice smooth. “But truly, Ashley, you should have seen this coming.”“You” I swallowed hard, my throat refusing to reopen. “You were Fernando’s friend.”He chuckled, but not kindly. “Friend? Oh, Ashley. Fernando is nothing but a good for nothing boy with undeserved power which was handed down to him by his bastard ancestors.”My stomach twisted. “You smiled with him. You celebrated with him.”“I needed him close.” Santiago shrugged lightly. “Proximity makes influence easier and that makes destruction more elegant.”Shock was starting to shift, replaced by something hotter.
Michael’s POVAnabelle must have sensed the storm building between me and Fernando, because the moment our voices sharpened she slipped into the room and gently placed a hand on Henry’s back.“Come with me, sweetheart,” she murmured to him.Henry glanced between us, worry flickering through his eyes, but Anabelle didn’t give him time to protest.The silence that followed was thin, stretched and trembling then Fernando spoke.“You can glare at me all you want, Michael,” he snapped, “but I did what I had to do. You weren’t seeing what Ashley was doing to us, to you.”“To me?” I echoed, incredulous. “You really want to start with that? Go on, say it. Say the ridiculous thing you’ve been hinting at.”Fernando folded his arms, his jaw tight. “Fine, she was whispering in your ear like she always did. Getting in your head, making you doubt us, making you… drift.”My blood boiled.“Don’t do that,” I said, my voice low. “Do not stand there and act like I’m some puppet Ashley controlled. I’m n
Ashley's POV The moment I opened my eyes, I realized I wasn’t supposed to be awake. Darkness pressed against me like a heavy cloak. My head throbbed, and panic clawed at my chest. I couldn’t see anything because my vision was stopped by the rough, suffocating bag over my head. I tried to move my hands, only to find them bound tightly behind me, my wrists raw and aching from the cords biting into my skin.“Let me go!” I screamed, my voice hoarse and panicked. “I don’t know what you want, but you have the wrong person! Let me go!”A muffled laugh came from somewhere in front of me. I jerked, trying to catch a glimpse of whoever was there, but all i could see was black. “Be quiet” a deep voice ordered. The authority in it sent shivers down my spine. “You’ll talk soon enough.”I thrashed, pulling at the ropes, but the knots were expertly tied. My skin stung where the cords dug in, and I realized the futility of my struggles. I was at their mercy. I pressed my forehead against my kne
Fernando’s POV The morning felt almost too peaceful.I sat at the small wooden table in the safe house kitchen, the aroma of scrambled eggs, toasted bread, and Henry’s overly sweet coffee drifting lazily in the air.Henry put his fork on a piece of pancake onto his plate, humming something cheerful under his breath. Michael sat across from me, his elbows on the table, his chin resting on his hands as he eyed the food like it might suddenly reveal secrets.“Henry,” he said, “why does your coffee smell like a melted ice-cream truck?”Henry shrugged. “Because an ice-cream truck fell inside.”Michael blinked at him. “That made no actual sense.”I laughed quietly. “It’s too early in the morning for you to pretend you understand Henry’s philosophy.”Michael grunted, but I saw the edge of a smile. I liked this quiet, this illusion of normalcy, the mundane clinking of silverware, Henry’s random humming. It almost made me forget about the world outside, the people trying to get in my way
