Luca gave a firm nod, understanding his orders without the need for repetition. Emilio trusted him to handle things, but there was still a weight pressing against his ribs, a tension that even whiskey couldn’t smooth out. Aurora. He still didn’t know what to do with her.

She had landed in his world by accident, or at least, that’s what it looked like. Emilio didn’t take things at face value. He didn’t believe in coincidences. Not in this life. Now there had been a seed of doubt planted, one that he had to seriously consider. He had questions that only she could answer.

Stepping out of the office, his sharp gaze swept the lounge, locking onto the slim figure curled up on the couch. She was asleep, her breaths slow and steady, her body sinking into the soft leather like she belonged there. For a moment, she didn’t look like a woman running for her life. She didn’t look like a woman with dangerous ties, ties that now led directly back to Vescovi. She looked innocent, trapped in a dangero

  • Safely in the Arms of the Mafia King   White Shackles

    Aurora hadn’t moved. The echo of the door clicking shut behind Emilio still rang in her ears, louder than the beating of her heart, louder than the chaos swirling inside her mind. She sat frozen on the edge of the lounge couch, her robe cinched tight again, fingers knotted in the fabric as though it were the only thing anchoring her to reality.You have a wedding to prepare for.The words played over and over again in her mind, looping with no clarity, no logic, no warning. It felt like whiplash, like the ground beneath her feet had given out once more, only this time she wasn’t falling. She was spinning. What wedding? Who was getting married? What did he mean, she had a wedding? Why the hell had he said it like a business deal, like it was some unspoken clause in a contract she hadn’t even seen? Her pulse thundered beneath her skin. She wanted to scream. To throw something. To march back into his office and demand answers, but no part of her body was cooperating, and he was already g

  • Safely in the Arms of the Mafia King   Rushed Moments

    The silence in the lounge felt heavier than before, somehow. It wrapped around Aurora like a fog, sinking into her skin and settling in her chest. She hadn't moved.The robe lay open beneath her, the towel discarded, her body still bare against the couch cushions. Her skin had cooled, but the heat from Emilio’s touch still lingered in places she couldn’t ignore. The ache in her limbs, the tingling in her core, the memory of his mouth… it was all there. It was too much, and yet, it wasn’t the physical part that left her reeling. It was everything else.He had kissed her like he hated her. Touched her like he owned her. Spoken to her like she was both a burden and an obsession. She had never experienced anything like that. It was beyond raw, possessive, consuming. It terrified her how much she had wanted it. How much she still did.Aurora slowly sat up, pulling the robe tightly around herself, trying to shake the image of him walking away. That last look in his eyes, dark, unreadable, f

  • Safely in the Arms of the Mafia King   Shattered Self

    Emilio slammed the door behind him, the sound echoing like a gunshot in the silence of his office. He didn’t pace. He didn’t sit. He just stood there, one hand still on the doorknob, the other clenched tight at his side, breathing hard through his nose.What the hell had he just done?He’d meant to break the tension, to remind her who was in control. He hadn’t meant to lose himself in her skin. He hadn’t meant to taste her like she was the only thing keeping him alive. Yet, that’s exactly what he’d done, devoured her with a hunger that had nothing to do with punishment and everything to do with possession.Emilio dragged a hand through his hair and stepped away from the door, jaw tight. He should’ve pulled back the second she asked about Shawn. He should’ve walked away. Her voice hadn’t been full of longing, it had been unsure, hesitant. She hadn’t even said his name with affection, but all Emilio had heard was hesitation, and that had been enough to ignite the fury that had been brew

  • Safely in the Arms of the Mafia King   Revelations

    Emilio watched Aurora carefully, measuring the way her eyes stayed locked on his, steady despite the weight of everything he’d just told her. There was no panic in her expression, only a quiet determination that both impressed and unsettled him. She deserved the truth. All of it. So, he didn’t hold back.“I’m putting everything I have into this,” he said. “Every resource, every contact, every man I trust. I’ve already pulled back operations that don’t matter right now. This”—his hand gestured between them, to the weight in the room—“is the priority.” Aurora didn’t speak, but her posture shifted slightly, her arms curling around her middle as if trying to hold herself together from the inside out. “I’ll keep you safe,” Emilio continued, voice calm but unflinching. “No matter what comes of this, no matter who’s behind it, you don’t have to look over your shoulder while you’re under my roof.”He stood then, restless energy beginning to pulse beneath his skin again. His hands moved to his

  • Safely in the Arms of the Mafia King   Strong Words

    Emilio moved fast the moment he shut the door behind him. He stripped off the soaked undershirt and tossed it into the corner, yanking open the wardrobe tucked into the far wall of his office. Clean black slacks. A dark, fitted T-shirt. No time for anything more formal, he wasn’t leaving her alone longer than he had to. He raked his hand through his wet hair, slicking it back, and rolled his neck to shake off the lingering tension, but it clung to him like smoke; thick, cloying, impossible to shake.She was too quiet. It wasn’t like her. Even in the worst of it, Aurora had fought. With her words, with her body, with that sharp fire in her eyes, but now she was just a shell of that person. Shock was a cruel thing. Subtle. Slow. Dangerous.He grabbed his phone off the desk and quickly thumbed out a message to Luca. Send tea and a snack tray down to the lounge. Hot. Sweet. Make sure it’s quick. And I don’t want to be disturbed.He didn’t wait for a response. The phone hit the desk as he

  • Safely in the Arms of the Mafia King   Cold Truths

    The cold water was still pouring down around them, plastering her hair to her face, soaking her clothes through to the skin. Aurora stood there frozen, not because of the temperature, but because of what Emilio had just said.Someone took a photo of me. Inside the club. Close enough to see her face. Close enough to know exactly who she was and sent it to Vescovi. Her body trembled, not just from the water, but from the flood of realization and dread crashing into her chest. It wasn’t paranoia. It wasn’t Emilio being controlling or suspicious. Someone really was watching her.Emilio’s arm shifted, his grip tightening slightly as he lowered her gently to her feet, though he didn’t let go entirely. His hand stayed at her waist, grounding her, steady. Then he reached past her and turned the shower knob, adjusting the temperature. The spray warmed almost immediately, chasing the ice from her limbs, replacing it with a rising heat that had very little to do with the water. Aurora was still
