So Close...

NIGHT

The mansion was quiet, the kind of silence that stretched heavy through the halls. Outside, the wind brushed against the windows, carrying a faint rustle of trees. Everyone was asleep, or so it seemed.

Lucy wasn’t.

Her body twisted restlessly under the blanket, her breath coming in uneven gasps. The images replayed behind her closed eyes, dark streets, headlights flashing in the rearview mirror, the sudden gunfire splitting the air. Barry pulling her close, shielding her, his arm pressing her down as the world felt like it would break apart.

“Stop…” she whimpered in her sleep, her hands clutching the sheets. Another burst of memory made her jerk, a sharp cry breaking past her lips.

A maid, who had been walking quietly down the hall with folded linens, froze at the sound. Her eyes widened. The cry had come from Lucy’s room.

The maid hesitated for a breath, biting her lip. She didn’t dare enter, the Don’s rules about disturbing Lucy were strict. But she couldn’t ignore it either.

  • Mafia's Captive Desire    It Matters

    Barry closed the door behind him, but for a long moment, he didn’t move.He stood in the dim hallway, his hand still resting on the doorknob, staring at the floor. The soft hum of the night filled the silence, the faint ticking of the clock down the corridor, the wind brushing past the windows, the distant sound of a door creaking somewhere below.He shouldn’t have gone in there.He shouldn’t have touched her.And yet, he could still feel it, the soft warmth of her skin beneath his hand, the tiny tremor that ran through her when he’d pressed the cotton against her bruise. The look in her eyes… uncertain, but trusting. It had shaken something loose inside him that he didn’t know how to put back together.He exhaled sharply, dragging a hand over his face.He’d been through far worse things in his life, bullets, betrayals, loss, but one woman with soft eyes and quiet words was somehow testing his limits more than any of that ever had.Barry turned and began to walk, his boots soundless

  • Mafia's Captive Desire    The Bruise

    By the time they reached Barry’s mansion, the sun was already sliding low behind the trees. The car rolled through the gates, the guards at the entrance snapping to attention. Lucy sat in the back seat beside Julia, her head resting against the window. Every muscle in her body ached.Julia yawned, stretching her arms lazily. “You did better today, Lucy. He didn’t yell at you as much.”Lucy smiled faintly. “That’s one way to measure progress.”Julia laughed. “Hey, for Barry, that’s a compliment.”As the car stopped in front of the wide steps, Lucy rubbed her wrist absently. A dull ache throbbed beneath her skin. When she rolled up her sleeve, she saw the faint purple mark blooming across the side of her arm, right where Barry had caught her.Julia’s eyes caught it instantly. “Ouch. That looks nasty.”“It’s fine,” Lucy muttered, tugging the sleeve back down. “I probably just bruised it during training.”“Or maybe when a certain someone decided to grab you like an action hero,” Julia tea

    The training ground stretched wide before them. Julia stepped forward first, stretching her arms and rolling her shoulders. “Alright,” she said, glancing back at Lucy with a grin. “Try not to fall on your face this time.”Lucy let out a breath that was half laugh, half sigh. “Thanks for the confidence.”Julia smirked. “I mean it in a loving way.”Barry’s voice cut across the space, deep and steady. “Enough talking. Let’s begin.”Lucy swallowed hard. His tone carried no emotion, but when her eyes flicked toward him, he was watching her. Just her.“Start with footwork,” he ordered. “If you can’t keep your balance, you’ll be useless in a fight.”Julia nodded and dropped into a stance, moving with confidence. Lucy tried to copy her, her boots scraping against the dirt. Her body still ached from the last session, but she pushed through it, reminding herself not to give in.Left step, right step, pivot, she stumbled slightly.Julia chuckled. “Easy there. You’re not dancing.”Lucy shot her a

    NEXT MORNING The first rays of sunlight slipped through the curtains, brushing against Lucy’s face. She stirred, her lashes fluttering as the warmth touched her skin. For a moment, she lay still, her chest rising and falling slowly. But then the memory of the night returned, Barry sitting at her bedside, his touch on her hand, the way his eyes had dipped to her lips.Her cheeks warmed instantly. She pressed a palm over her chest, feeling the steady thrum of her heart. So close… we were so close.Pushing the thought aside, Lucy threw the blanket off and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. The floor was cool against her bare feet. She grabbed a towel and slipped into the adjoining bath.The warm water helped wash away the remnants of her restless night. She leaned her head against the tiled wall for a moment, letting the spray beat against her back. But Barry’s voice lingered in her head, sharp at first, then soft... “Lies don’t suit you, Lucy.”By the time she stepped out, she fe

    Lucy woke up late the next morning, her body heavy from a night of tossing and turning. The memory of Barry’s touch in the study still lingered in her chest, as if his fingers had branded her skin. She rubbed her face with both hands and forced herself out of bed. The house was already alive with noise, maids moving about, footsteps echoing faintly down the halls.She showered, changed into a plain black sweater and jeans, and tied her hair up in a loose ponytail. She had just sat on her bed to put on her sneakers when a knock came at her door.Lucy frowned. “Yes?”The door opened and Julia stepped in, her lips quirking into a grin. “Rise and shine, sleepyhead. You’ve been summoned.”Lucy blinked. “Summoned?”Julia leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed. “The Don wants you downstairs. We’re heading out with him.”Lucy’s heart skipped. “Again?”“Yes, again.” Julia rolled her eyes, but her smile softened. “Don’t look so nervous. It’s not your first time, remember? Just… come on. Do
