DIANA

He was just standing there like a Greek statue, all carved muscle under that tight black t-shirt, tattoos creeping out from under the short sleeves. Black combat boots. And that look—that piercing look that knocked the air right out of my lungs.

"W-what are you doing here?" I managed, trying to pull myself together. "I mean, it's early."

I couldn't tear my eyes off the perfect specimen in front of me, but I heard my brother's voice behind me.

"Oh, right. Forgot to mention. Rocco's gon

  • PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL   33. Run Away With Me

    DIANAHe looked at me with those cold eyes—the expression of a man who knew the rules but wouldn't hesitate to break them if he had to."If it came down to him or me, Diana. What do you think my choice would be?" He said it like the question was as simple as breathing.A shiver ran down my spine. I didn't even want to think about it. But at the same time, everything was a mess. One minute he was acting like we had to keep this secret forever, like it was no big deal. The next, he seemed ready to risk everything. It was driving me crazy."What do you want, exactly?"He went quiet for a moment when I pinned him down with my question. His eyes stayed intense, fixed on mine."I want you."His words hit like thunder, but I needed to be sure he meant it."I thought you didn't want me that much." My voice wavered, but my heart was racing.Rocco moved closer, his face inches from mine. His eyes burned with an intensity that stole my breath."Wanting and being able to have are two different th

  • PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL   32. Mine, Even If I Have to Kill for It

    DIANABefore I could say anything, the reality of the nightmare hit me like a punch to the gut: my father's body on the floor. Nico's. The sound of gunshots. The searing pain of my skin tearing open. A sob broke out of me, and without hesitating, Rocco wrapped his arms around me.I grabbed his shirt, my fingers twisting into the fabric as I cried. I felt the solid wall of his chest under my hands, and he started stroking my hair, slow and steady. I cried into his shoulder, feeling the texture of his skin against my cheek.Slowly, the sobs started to quiet. The feeling of safety grew with every breath. His smell—a mix of soap, sweat, and something unmistakably him—filled my senses, pulling me back to calm. He didn't say anything. Just held me tight, letting me find my own rhythm until, finally, I felt steadier.I pulled back to look at him."Why are you still here?""I was worried about you. Earlier." His voice was softer than usual.I remembered my conversation with Alessandro and loo

  • PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL   31. Blood, Fire, and Nightmares

    DIANAThe terrace lights flickered weakly as I fought sleep, staring out the window. Cold wind whispered through the leaves. Down below, Rocco stood still. Domenico yawned beside him."I'm heading home," Domenico said. "Nothing's going to happen at this hour. The little devil's probably asleep by now."He glanced up, and I pulled back into the shadows of the curtains."I'll stay," Rocco replied. "Extra coverage."Domenico patted Rocco's shoulder."The boss'll sleep easier tonight with you on watch. Actually, you know what? I'll stay a little longer."I dropped my head back, sighing. Sleep was pressing down on me. I moved away from the window and collapsed onto the bed, my consciousness starting to fade.The warmth of the pillows turned into summer sunlight, and I was fully asleep. Suddenly, I was walking through the city center, carrying a box of cigars and a bottle of whiskey—gifts for Nico.That day, when I got home, I had a bad feeling. My father's men came in behind me, but the un

  • PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL   30. Sold to the Enemy

    DIANA"Where's Don Alessandro?" I asked the first person I saw when I walked through the front door.The staff member hesitated for a second before answering."Signor Alessandro is upstairs in his office."My gaze shot to the staircase, and I felt fire building in my chest. I took a deep breath, trying to control the rage boiling inside me. That asshole is going to deal with me. Without a second thought, I started climbing the stairs, each step making my heart pound harder.At the top, I walked straight to Alessandro's office. No knock. I pushed the door open and walked in, greeted by a wave of heat and the thick smell of cigar smoke. The room was full of men, all of them stopping their conversations to look at me.Alessandro lifted his head, a cigar between his lips, his face cold and impassive as always."Diana. You're back.""I need to talk to you. Now."His brow furrowed. He paused for a beat, then said:"As you can see, I'm busy. We'll talk later."He looked away and resumed his

  • PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL   29. The Morning After Sin

    ROCCOAfter a night of nothing but sex, Diana was curled against my chest, clinging to me like I was some giant teddy bear. I normally didn't like cuddling after. But this was different. It was her first time, and for some reason, I didn't want to be rough with her right now. So I let her stay wrapped around me.I reached over to the nightstand and grabbed my phone to check the time. My brow furrowed when I saw it was already getting light out. Time had gone too fast. I looked back at Diana, watching her sleep peacefully. My gaze dropped to her round ass, and I felt myself getting hard again, wanting more of her. But it was time for her to get back to her room before someone noticed."Diana." I stroked her shoulder.She murmured something unintelligible, shifting a little, but didn't fully wake. I traced my fingers along her cheek and called again:"Diana. You need to go."Her eyes opened slowly, sleepy and confused. She lifted her head, looking at me with those brown eyes full of def

  • PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL   28. Claimed by the Devil

    DIANAHe positioned himself between my open legs, his eyes locked on mine. With one hand, he gripped the base of his cock, guiding the hot, pulsing head to my wet entrance.The initial touch made my whole body shudder, a low moan escaping my lips. He rubbed the head back and forth, spreading my arousal, making my body tremble with want."It's going to hurt a little, Diana. I promise I'll go slow so I don't tear you up, but there's still going to be some pain.""I don't care about the pain." I was more afraid he'd back out at the last second.He studied my face for a moment, then murmured in a rough voice:"Breathe deep, Diana."I did what he asked. With one firm push, he started pressing in, the head forcing its way into my tight entrance. When he finally penetrated me, a guttural sound tore from my throat.He went slow, every inch entering with almost cruel precision, stretching my inner walls until pleasure started to build."Fuck, you're so goddamn tight." He growled agains
