“You say that, but you’re stitched. What happened?” Ava asked.

Alex held her gaze as he responded. “Caught a bad angle on a case I was working two nights ago. Things got messy… took a round, but it was just a graze.”

“And you didn’t tell me.”

“I didn’t want to worry you.”

Ava exhaled slowly, her brows still drawn together. “And instead you show up stitched and wrapped like duct tape’s holding you together?”

“It’s just gauze,” he said, giving a shrug. “And, you have to admit, I did a pretty good job with the stitch.”

Ava gave him a sharp look. “You stitched yourself?”

“Didn’t exactly have time to wait for the ER.”

She shook her head, not in anger, just in disbelief. “You’re reckless.”

“Not at all… It’s called ‘being resourceful’.”

She didn’t respond right away. Instead, her hand moved from his arm to his chest, palm resting flat, fingers spreading lightly over his skin.

“You didn’t even flinch last night,” she said, almost to herself. “Not once.”

“I didn’t feel pain,” he said. “Not the

  • I Found My Mafia Mom, A Cop Husband   059. Observation...

    The rest of the day passed in a blur.Ava didn’t even remember walking back to the trauma ward. One moment she was signing off on patient reports, the next she was elbow-deep in a body torn open by rage. Multiple stab wounds. Arterial bleeding. Chest cavity punctured. The patient had flatlined once. Maybe twice. She lost count.They fought for every beat of his heart. And when it was done, when they finally got him stable, she stepped back, hands soaked through her gloves, arms trembling from exhaustion. Her back ached. Her head throbbed. She hadn’t eaten. Hadn’t even drunk the half-full bottle of water she'd brought in that morning.By six-thirty, she was back in her office, hunched over her desk like she might fold in half. Her white coat was half-off her shoulders. Her hair had frizzed out of its neat braid, the remnants of her surgical cap doing little to hide it. Pen in hand, she scratched out aftercare notes, filling prescriptions like muscle memory, though her mind wasn’

  • I Found My Mafia Mom, A Cop Husband   058. Just a Coincidence?

    After Rafael left, the room felt different. It was as if the walls were closing in and the air was heavier and harder to breathe.Ava stood by the desk, frozen in place. Her hand was hovering over her tablet, fingers curled as if she were about to do something but couldn't move. She just stared at the bright screen. It felt as if she focused hard enough, the light could somehow lift the heavy feeling in her chest.It didn’t.Instead, something cold settled in her stomach. A deep, biting chill took root in her stomach. Not panic, but close.Her eyes flicked to the far wall. The city skyline stretched out beyond the glass, tall windows offering a perfect view of power and control. But her thoughts weren’t on the skyline.They were two nights ago.The yacht. The explosion. The screams. The smoke. The blood. Her fingers tensed, digging into her palm as she recalled the chaos.She remembered it all too clearly, the way her knees slammed into the deck when she yanked him behind c

    Ava stepped into her office and shut the door behind her.Rafael was already inside, standing near the tall, narrow window that overlooked the compound courtyard. His arms were crossed, tension running through his frame, phone still in hand like he’d only just stopped reading something. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes followed her every movement.She didn’t bother with pleasantries. Didn’t sit. “Talk.”He turned to face her fully, the phone sliding into his jacket pocket. “I followed up on the Old Naval Port lead. You were right.”Her brow lifted, though her face remained composed. “Go on.”“The Calabrians didn’t just hit the yacht to send a message. It was targeted. One of the crates had a tracker inside. High-grade stuff. Not street-level. Military spec.” He paused, eyes narrowing slightly. “It pinged once on the outskirts of East Hollow. Then it went dark. Completely.”Ava’s eyes sharpened, though her voice was low. “Which crate did you say?”“One of the shipments we w

    The towel hit Alex square in the chest.“Get up,” Ava said, already halfway to the door. “Breakfast.”He caught it, smirking. “You gonna supervise?”“I’m going to watch you burn my kitchen.”“Your lack of faith is insulting.”They walked downstairs together, the house filled with warm morning light. Everything smelled faintly of jasmine and soap. It was already past nine, so the house was nearly empty; Pearl had gone to school, and Eleanor had gone to… wherever she was.Ava moved to the kitchen island while Alex washed his hands at the sink and opened the fridge.“You’re not going to find anything exciting in there,” she warned, arms folded as she watched him. “Haven’t gone grocery shopping this week.”“Challenge accepted,” he muttered, peering in. “You’ve got three kinds of cheese, no eggs, and a suspicious amount of arugula.”“I like salad,” she said simply.He pulled out a half-wrapped baguette. “When’s the last time you stocked your fridge?”“When I realised I didn’t need to impre

    "Come for me, too, dear."Alex’s cock twitched in her hands, and then, with a final stroke, he fell apart, his release spilling over her fingers, painting her skin white and into the water below them.She watched him, her gaze tracing the curve of his lips, the angle of his jaw, the intensity of his eyes.He was breathtaking.And while she was admiring him, a small smile appeared on her lips.A smile that said a million things and yet, nothing at all.Because what could she say?In her moment of bliss, she didn't realise when Alex recovered and smirked, a dangerous glint in his silver eyes."You should have been careful, Ava. You have no idea what you've just started."Ava didn't even have a moment to comprehend his words.Because just as she blinked, his fingers left her pussy hole as he focused on rubbing on her clit.Ava's eyes widened, and before she could process what was happening, her second orgasm slammed into her, stealing the breath from her lungs.She gripped his arms tight

  • I Found My Mafia Mom, A Cop Husband   055. Falling Apart...

    Ava’s legs wrapped around his hips, nails digging into his shoulders as his fingers drove her mad, the pleasure so sharp it was almost painful.His free hand tangled in her hair, tugging just enough to tip her head back, exposing her throat."I'd love nothing more than to have you screaming my name, sweetheart," he said, his voice rough. "But I'll settle for seeing you fall apart in front of me.""Oh, please." Ava gritted her teeth, her pulse racing, her body wound so tight she felt like she might burst. "You can't break me that easily.""We'll see about that.""Don't make promises you can't keep, Mr Detective.""I'm not.""Then prove it," Ava challenged."With pleasure."Alex's eyes darkened, and then—He picked up the pace.His fingers pumped into her, harder and faster, while his thumb pressed against her clit in a way that made her whole body tremble.She could feel his fingers sliding in and out of her, slick with her wetness. Her walls clenched around him, her body craving more.
