MAFIA RULES 88
I spend the next few days planning for the dinner- gathering, whatever. I told the team of a new project but I would be handling it as it’s family related, a few of the ladies offered to aid me but I turned them down, nicely of course turning to Eva and Maria. With their help, it’s going along well, invites were sent out the day before, handwritten invitations I kid you not, in soft cream cards with a kind of golden ink Maria provided, I half expected her to hand me a quill seeing as we were going old school. Instead, there was a fancy fountain pen which she injected the ink into and we were good to go. The process has been quite enlightening, I’ve learned more about the families and territories just from that and the cards were addressed to each head of families personally. Now I know there are twelve main families of New York split into two. Six prominent and six lower families. I also realized that the Greco’s was one of the prominent families, now led by a distant cousin J

I wait for her reply, my eyes trained on her with my breath in my throat. Because this would be very different if feelings were involved. Gia is a servant girl who works in our household, sweet and hardworking, I liked her a lot. She is paid very generously and could quit and decide to do something else if she wanted, but for now, she works for us and Tommy might as well be a prince, living the life of a man with the world at his feet, as much as it looks cute on the soap operas I was fond of watching, it wouldn’t fly well in our life. One day he would be expected to marry for the good of the family, as a made man, duty came before all else. I didn’t want to see her hurt. Gia shook her head, the universal sign for no her eyes trained on her hands. I stared at her, trying to find any form of deceit. I relaxed a fraction. Though she might say that for now, it’s quite easy to confuse sex and feelings, especially for women. I didn’t want to say this but what choice did I have?
MAFIA RULES 90
Niko is sitting at the edge of the bed, with his tie gone, the top two buttons in his shirt undone with one hand resting behind him, he seems relaxed. I sense a certain energy I missed in the bathroom. His eyes are dark, calm, too calm. “Come here” Okay, I was getting a little scared. I look around him for his phone, did he get a call maybe? Something that turned his mood. Just minutes ago, I swear he wanted to fuck me silly, now there was an air of danger around him, the kind that made me want to flee back into the bathroom and lock the door, or better yet leave the entire floor maybe go to the living room downstairs. His eyes held mine and I swallowed, hard. I was being ridiculous. Straightening my spine, I move towards him. “Closer” he nods at his spread thighs. I shuffle closer, swiping my tongue over my lips nervously. “The towel, lose it” he muttered and I released a relieved breath, he is fine, I smooth a hand over the towel teasingly as I go to sit on his la

Niko caught one of my legs and yanked me to him. A sob ripped out of my chest even as my belly tightened. “This was meant to be a punishment” he states as he cupped me between my legs, heat rose from my chest up my face and I know he felt how damp I was. “You liked the pain?” “I don’t” I shook my head trying to get away from him. I didn’t want him getting any ideas. Christ, the throbbing pain on my ass, I knew without a doubt that my skin would be red right now. “Shhh…only pleasure now…” he trailed off as his thumb found my clit stroking in tight circles tension coils in my belly, my walls clenched. He drops three slaps in rapid session on my pussy, nowhere as hard as he smacked my ass a moment ago but I felt it. I groaned, my back leaving the bed as my head fell back. How I felt it. At this point, my entire body was a bundle of sensations. I was strung tighter than a guitar string. He slipped two fingers into me and I whimpered, he thrust once, twice and curled them upwards,

I come to a stop at the threshold, my ass smarts at the sight of him. “Good morning” Goose pimples spreads across my skin and me behind throbs at the sound of his voice. “G-good morning” instituted, my eyes jumping to the side. “Come, join me for breakfast” my husband invites. His voice is soft, but it was the same one in which he called come here last night and it didn’t end too well for me.“Er- just let me check on the babies for a bit and then I’ll-” my foot moves to the side, my flip flops staffing on the floor. “Maria is with them”He states without breaking his stare. “Er… okay” I shuffle forward, the hem of my loose pants tickling my toes over my flip flops. Our usual breakfast of my favorite foods and his preferred breakfast is spread out in on the table. I come to a pause behind the chair, my hands going behind me. Apprehension washes over me. Seems they’ll be no changing his mind or escaping his conversation. I’d woken up on my front, the lingering pain on my

“Good afternoon daughter” she says without looking at me. Keeping my gentle smile in place, I crossed to the other side of the room. Spine straight, in a fashionable white suit and icy blue shirt that matches her eyes, I nearly jumped back when she when she scanned me from head to toes with said icy eyes. Without blinking she asks. “How are the children?”“Fine, fine, down for a nap” I answered with the first thing that came to mind. And a total lie. Pushing back the chair opposite hers and unfortunately with my back to the door I sit, “If I’d know you were coming I would have tried to keep them awake a little longer so they can see their Nonna” Unsure if she bites my act, she inclined her head “That’s is quite alright, another time”“Of course.” Another smile, I fixed myself a cup of tea, silently berating Maria for not urging out some wine for me, and I needed something to do with my hand. That fine, i cradled it in my palms. We sit in tensed silent for long minutes.

I tossed back a sip of champagne, across from me Niko nodded to his cousin who muttered something in return before crossing over to me. He cocked a brow in question at the glass in my hand it was my second one this evening and the night was still young. He looked delicious in a charcoal suit, white shirt, and a black tie, almost to what he wears on a good day, his hair combed back, but somehow, he just looked hotter today. His jaw clean shaven tonight. I’m not sure which I liked better, the light scruff or like this. It’s like asking a girl to choose between dark chocolate and vanilla Ice cream.Impossible. “I’m excited” The gathering went off without a hitch since guests started arriving an hour ago. The flower arrangements, the food, Maria, and the girls have being on their feet, ensuring that everyone had something to drink. It is a success!My first event!Okay, Eva and Maria helped out a little but everything else was all me. “What do you think?” I smiled up at him, waving ar

I think it would be interesting.The business was not my cup of tea, but each to their own Vanessa is always complaining about how women are given less of a voice, about our anatomy, our person, and our choices, I think she would be firmly on Marina’s side. I miss Niko's response to which Danilo inclined his head. “I’ll look into it” When he sets off probably to do just that I clicked my glass against Niko’s glass of scotch “I thought you didn’t like to get involved with other family's business?” it sounded like he just asked Danilo to spy on them.His eyes on the teardrop diamond sitting on my collarbone, snapped to mine “In other territories, whatever happens in my city is my business”I see. I swiped my tongue over my teeth, “If she is making a bid, will you support her though she is a woman?” He shook his head once, “The timing isn’t ideal”For a power struggle in one of the lower families while Valentina’s presence kept everyone on their tip toes. “And if she manages to win?
