“Besides, when Moskov takes his last breath it will be by my hand.” He said coldly. “Not a chance, he's mine to kill. Then you!” I growl suddenly pissed by his statement. I can tell that this takes him by surprise. His eye brow raises, looking intrigued. He then dips me down, and trails his hand to the outside of my thigh. He feels the knives I have hidden underneath my dress. “You’re a very naughty girl aren’t you, Miss Grey.” He smirks as he feels the hidden knives. I felt my panties drench in wetness, and I mentally curse myself for my bodies betrayal. We pose again, and I slowly trail my hands up his thighs. His breathing hitches as I feel up until I find the gun he has concealed in his slacks. “My my my Devil, is this a gun or is it a hard on…” I start laughing “gotcha!” I say as I brush my fingers on his erection. Looking deep in his eyes. Goodnes me this man is handsome. Sharp jawline, piercing eyes. His hands were rough, but his touch was gentle. His tattoos decorated his body in an elegant way. His hair was as dark as the night, and was always styled. I push those thoughts away. He is the enemy. I was raised to kill him and his family I shouldn't care what he looks like or smells like or ta..s..te..? Jeez Sky get a grip of yourself. “You fantasising about me Angel?” He takes a step back. “ Ha! You wish!” I roll my eyes and I can just tell my face is red. “Yea tell that to the goosebumps all over you body.” He mimmicks my voice. Fuck me I'm turned on. “Such a shame I’ll have to kill such a pretty face.” I say trying to distract everything going on. He pulls me closer our faces so close, His nose is caressing mine. “The feeling is mutual darling.” He smirks. He dips me down just as the music comes to an end and stares into my eyes and I could swear time slowed down in that moment. He slowly raises me up so his lips meet my ear. “Tomorrow. 8:00 at the Le Coeur Solitaire.” He whispered in my ear as he bit my earlobe. A silent Moan escapes my lips as he smiles and plants a kiss on my neck. He pulled me up, making sure I'm standing properly balanced. I'm too stunned to speak. I can't even decipher whether or not I'm angry or glad. People start to appear within my visibility knocking me back to my senses. “Oh and Sky darling, you might wanna change your panties before you flood this whole place with your wetness!”. He winks and stops a laugh knowing what he just did and yep now I'm mad. Mad that for the first time I'm craving his touch and not his blood. With nothing else to say, we both turn, and walk away. Applause erupts in the ballroom. Most likely for the dance, but majorly due to the fact that we had enough self control to not attack each other. I spot an awe struck Alice and I make my way to her. “Well… that was… steamy, when's the wedding?” She says teasing me. “A brief moment of truce. Next time, he won’t be as lucky.” I growl as I grab a glass of champagne from a waiter, drinking it all in one gulp before I place it back on the tray and take two more. “It didn't seem that way up there.” She continued wanting me to admit. I hate that she can see right through me but I don't crack. “Or in here..” she points to her camera. “YOU RECORDED!!!” I blurt out not realising I'm shouting. “Girls!” My mom throws me deadly eyes. “I'll kill you..” I mouth to a very happy Alice. I take a deep sigh of relief. I glanced at my watch wishing to be in my room. My social battery is dead.“Did you grab food?” My wife said as I got in the car, bouncing excitedly in the passenger seat. “Did I grab the food?” I said playfully as I held up all her favorite and disgusting food she’s been craving for the past month. “God you’re the best.” She said as she snatched the peanut butter and Oreos out of my hand before I started the car and drove to the private airfields. I fell asleep for most of the flight, and woke up to the somber memory of all four of us laughing on our way to Colombia before both of them jumped out of the plane. Well, my brother willingly jumped out. I looked out the window at the tarmac and the surrounding buildings as we landed smoothly. I looked over at my wife, and gently nudged her shoulder to wake her up. “We’re here love. Come on.” I said as I gave her a slight smile. We exited the jet, and I got into the driver’s seat of the black Range Rover that waited for us and drove towards the shore. The beautiful and lush countryside was gorgeous, and I m
***ROMANO’S POV *** 4 weeks later*** We watched as my brother’s coffin was lowered into the ground. My father held my mother as she was crying hysterically, and to my surprise, even the Grey’s were crying over the loss of Ace. Allegra's coffin was buried on the other side of the field, something I know they’d absolutely protest against. I know that they’d want to be buried side by side, hell they’d even be buried in the same coffin if they could. But I kept my mouth shut and my opinions to myself as I watched the rest of the ceremony with my wife by my side. After Ace and Allegra went down to stop Moskov, the Russians grabbed the family members and dragged us down to the basement on a private elevator. Alice wasn’t a blood relative, so she was left behind. Luckily for me, my wife is a total badass, and practically killed all the Russian members at the venue herself. She found the explosives, and she and the members snuck down to the basement, and rigged them to the bottom of the s
Fuck! Fuck! Fucking Fuck Me!!!! My heart was racing as we pulled up to the estate, both from anger, excitement, anxiety, and fear. I was going to see Ace after 5 months! A part of me wanted to run into his arms, while the other part wanted to slit his neck. As the car stopped, my excitement quickly morphed into anger and sadness. He didn’t want to see me. He didn’t miss me. If he did, he would have written, he would have tried, he would have done something, anything. I needed closure. I needed to know why he completely disappeared from my life like a vapor vanishing in the wind. I needed a freaking explanation, a good one. I stepped out of the car and took a deep breath. I slowly walked up the steps to the house and opened the massive double doors. I opened the doors to see Alice running towards me with a huge smile plastered across her face. She embraced me with so much force, I had to stumble backwards in order to prevent falling on the marble floor. “ALLEGRA! Fuck I’ve missed
For the past 5 weeks that he’s been absent from my life, I was starting to think something happened to him, but it was rather unlikely considering he’s one of the best assassins in the world. He was one hard fucker to kill, and if he was alive… that means he forgot about me… avoided me on purpose. At first, I was a complete and total mess, drinking every night until I couldn’t feel the pain in my chest anymore. But after 2 weeks, I broke beyond the point of no return. I was numb, comfortably numb, and I embraced the familiar feeling with open arms. It was all a lie, all of his words, the sweet nothings he’d whisper in my ear, the promises, everything was a fucking lie. If he meant what he said, he wouldn’t have given up so easily on us because there was just a few thousand miles between us. He just… gave up. I was sent on a recon mission, to strictly gather information and to not engage in any combat unless absolutely necessary. But since Ace vanished from my life, I went on a damn
It’s been 155 days since I’ve arrived in this frozen shithole. I’m not sure whether it’s the constant snowfall, or my aching heart, but time seems to move unbearably slow here. When I first arrived here, things weren’t as bad as I thought it would be. Ace blew up my phone 24/7, our conversations usually consisted of him telling me how much he loved me following a heated discussion consisting of me convincing him to not take the first flight down to Samara and bring me back home. Some nights were impeccable. We talked for hours at a time as the sun rose in Russia, and the moon lit up the sky in New York. No matter how uneventful or dull my day was, I was always excited to go back to my hotel room because I knew Ace would be calling. But as Issac Newton so eloquently described, with every action, there is equal or opposite reaction, some days were less desirable than others. The belligerent calls were an obvious indication that the distance was driving a wedge between us. Russia was
“I can’t wait to take you to Italy, Amore. I can’t believe you’ve never been there!” He said as looked at me with excitement in his grey eyes. “It’s amazing, greatest culture, art, food, wine, you’d absolutely love it there baby.” Ace talked about his home with so much enthusiasm, it was like he was a kid on Christmas, and it was absolutely adorable. “Can you blame me? It’s forbidde, De Luca territory. I’d be killed before I even crossed the border.” I chucked as I took another sip of my wine. It took a moment for my words to process in my mind, and a somber feeling spread throughout my body at the fact that I’d never be able to experience it with him. I could tell he was thinking the same as his smile slowly faded, and was sat in silence. “Ace, how long do you think we can keep this up?” I asked quietly after a few moments. “What do you mean babygirl?” He asked with his eyebrows furrowed. “Us. How long can we continue keeping this a secret. I said as I took another sip of my win
*** ACE’S POV *** We searched for hours around the hotel, every single floor, and still no trace of her. We spent so much time trying to find Allegra to no avail and time was closing in on us. I stood at my place in the altar, as the soft music played and my anxiety skyrocketed. The altar was on
“Once Victoria marries Ace, she’ll have the power to take over the Italian Mafia if anything happens to him. Every family member will be attending this wedding, and we’ve lined the entire venue with bombs, and once the happy couple says ‘I Do’, BOOM!” Blake says as he exaggerated the explosion usi
I quickly put my phone in my pocket as I walked into my designated room alone. I scowled at all the corny wedding decorations. On a table was a white box with red ribbon on it, labeled for me. I opened it carelessly, ripping the box to reveal a scrapbook containing dozens of pornographic pictures
** ACE DE LUCA’S POV ** “Sir, Sir… you have to wake up. You can’t sleep here.” A voice called out as I felt someone nudging my shoulder. Out of instinct, I immediately rolled to my feet. I held my hands up, preparing myself for a fight, as I looked around in a daze. “Damn boy, you’re like a tatt
