Pov: Bianca"Are we done with the fifty questions?" He asked impatiently.My gaze snapped to his and then I remembered Yolanda's clothes. "Your closet is filled with women clothes.""They're for you. I've been planning on getting you to move in with me for a while now."A bomb detonated in my brain. My heart beat so fast, it was trying to race out of my chest.I licked my lips. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I couldn't believe any of this. My heart. My heart. This was all too much. Andre was in love with me and hell just froze over."This isn't going to work. We're step-siblings. People are going to talk.""They're welcome to do so to my face.""I can't- we can't-""There isn't a fucking person alive that will tell me what to do and live to see the sun set on that day.""Except me.""Except you." My heart stuttered in my chest as he lowered his head to my neck, his lips skimming my skin. He breathed me in deeply and let out a loud groan, muffled by my skin. "Left to me, we w
Pov: Andre Seven days, that was how long Bianca had been living with me. That was how long I had been seriously contemplating on asking her to be my wife. Even though she hadn't tried to leave again, I couldn't help the irrational icy panic that set off in my chest at the thought of her slipping from my hands and escaping my grasps. My father's birthday was in two days and that means every important mob boss that I considered allies with territories as big as mine were going to be showing up in my city to pay their respect to the retired godfather of the Cosa Nostra. That means, every man with as much power as me could take one look at Bianca and decide that he wanted her for himself. My hands clenched into tight fists. Over my dead fucking body before I hand Bianca over to any motherfucker, they'd have to go through me first and blood will fucking flow before they ever get to touch her. I tucked the ring box I had just gotten from the safe in my office back in my pants, huffing
Pov: Bianca"Madonna, you're actually glowing, Bianca." Inés fawned over me as we met up at the high end boutique to select an outfit for Emilio's birthday party."It's the wonders of good sex," Delilah muttered under her breath beside me, squawking in offence when I jabbed an elbow in her ribs."What did you say?" Inés blinked at Delilah."I said, it's a sign of good health." Delilah corrected.I rolled my eyes hard at her and turned to smile at Inés. "Thanks for agreeing to come with me."She grinned. "It's no problem. I wasn't doing anything at home and I like spending time with you."The genuine smile on her face set me at peace. I didn't want to show up at Emilio's birthday party in anything disrespectful or too outrageous. He had always turned a blind eye to my risque style of dressing since he got engaged to my mother and I just didn't want to push my luck with him. Also, I had no idea what to wear to a retired mafia godfather's party. I was going to scour through H&M for a t
Pov: AndreThere were mirrors all around the room and the sight of Bianca's perfect body, plump ass and flexed calves as she stood on her tiptoes biting hard on my shoulder and making that whimper sound she always makes when she's about to come made me almost shoot in my pants.She had pushed of my shirt a long time ago and she was running her soft hands all over my chest and abdomen, unknowingly setting me on fire.Fuck. I was a desperate dog panting after her ass when it comes to her. Seeing her pretend to not even notice me when I had gone out of my way to follow her around the city today made me feel uncharacteristically volatile and mad. Of course, it occurred to me that she was probably putting on a show for Inés, seeing as she was adamant on making sure people don't know about us, but the thought of being so easily dismissed by the one person whose attention I wanted, hell did it drive me crazy.I always knew that I was fucked when it came to her, but it was at that moment tha
Pov: Bianca After reciting a few calming mantras and taking as much deep breaths as my lungs could take, I gathered the clothes I was supposed to have been trying on and opened the door to the dressing room... and ran smack dab into Delilah holding up a pile of clothes. I frowned. "How long have you been standing out here?" I asked, suspicion and dread dripping into my voice. "About fifteen minutes." "Which means you saw-" "Andre walk out not too long ago with freshly fucked hair? Yes." "You can't tell Inés." "That you just had hot public sex with her older brother? Why not?" She whined. "Lilah," I warned. "I'm sure it wouldn't be so bad if she knows about it. She already likes you. What could be better than finding out you're in a relationship with her brother?" I bit my lip, ruminating on this. Maybe Delilah was right. Maybe I'm really just over-reacting about everything and I shouldn't worry so much. I let out a deep breath. "You're probably right. I'm definitely overth
Pov: BiancaI had begun to rise as early as Andre did every morning. His routine had become my routine and right now, it was five in the morning and we were currently working out in his gym.I was no stranger to weight lifting and heavy work out routines but Andre's weights made mine look like plush toys. I snuck a glance at him to see him attacking a punching bag.He had been tense, restless and pensive for a few days now, spending more time in his office at the club, coming back late at night and still talking strategy with Leon over the phone until it was well after midnight.The celebration party for Emilio's birthday kept getting shifted and rescheduled and I had a feeling it had a lot to do with whatever Andre and Leon were planning.They were planning something. I just wasn't sure what, and I didn't want to ask because I didn't want to intrude and put him in an uncomfortable position.The early mornings was the only time I had to spend with him before he had to go to work and
Pov: BiancaStepping into the living room a few hours after Andre left for his 'trip', I stopped short at the guards I saw taking up residence in the living room.No, I wasn't shocked at Antonio, Antonio was cool. "You're here?!" I gaped at Alfonso. I was so sure he'd jump at the opportunity of leaving my ass behind if the opportunity came up. And I'm sure the opportunity did come up seeing as Andre took most of his men with him to rain down hell on some unfortunate guy."Don't look so surprised to see me," Alfonso grumbled, going back to staring out the window.I rolled my eyes and walked into the all encompassing living room. It was really so big, my old apartment would fit perfectly in here and there'd still be space left."Andre said you're not to leave our sights," Alfonso said, his voice gruff and no nonsense, like he expected me to argue.But I wasn't like that anymore. I knew what needed to be done to stay safe and keep Andre from losing his shit."I know. You want coffee?"
Pov: BiancaI woke up to someone dumping an entire bucket of water on my head. It felt like I was drowning until it was over.I was sputtering, coughing, shivering in only a thin tank top and jeans. I blinked away the last of my unconsciousness and looked around me, my heart crawling into my throat.I was in a dark, dank room filled with angry, scary looking men, tied to a chair with thick heavy ropes around my wrists that could strangle a narwhal.I recognized the man that I had stabbed, and the man that had knocked me out. Most of the men were leering at me like I was a piece of meat and they were a pack of hungry hyenas.I was fighting to stay calm but my entire body was frazzled and trembling. What are they going to do to me? How am I going to escape from here?Andre wasn't coming to save me. He had to be halfway across the world by now and I doubt he would want to drop the very important shit he had going on to come and save my ass. Alfonso and Antonio were pretty much dead. I c
