LOGINChapter 2
Leo lay on the bed for a few minutes after Kai left the room. His body still buzzed from the rough fuck. Cum leaked slowly from his ass onto the sheets. He smiled at the ceiling. The big tough bodyguard had lost control faster than expected. Good. That meant Kai wanted him bad. He got up, wiped himself with the sheet, and pulled on a pair of black sweatpants. No shirt. He liked walking around half naked. It made people stare. Especially men like Kai. The house was quiet. Too quiet. Leo walked barefoot down the hallway toward the living room. He could hear Kai talking on the phone in a low voice. "Yeah. The shooter is dead. No ID yet. Tell the Don we are at the upstate house. Send more men. I do not like how fast they found us at the club." Leo leaned against the wall and listened. Kai sounded calm. Professional. Like he had not just been balls deep inside the mafia prince ten minutes ago. Kai ended the call and turned around. He saw Leo standing there. His eyes went straight to Leo's bare chest and the bite mark on his neck. "You should be sleeping," Kai said. "I do not sleep after someone tries to kill me. Or after good dick." Kai's jaw tightened. "That was a mistake. It will not happen again." Leo walked closer. He stopped right in front of Kai and looked up at him. "Liar. You liked it. I could feel how hard you came inside me." Kai grabbed Leo's chin with one hand. Not gentle. "Listen to me. Your life is in danger. Focus on that. Not on getting fucked." Leo smiled and licked his lips. "Both can happen at the same time." Before Kai could answer, the sound of car tires on gravel came from outside. Headlights swept across the windows. Kai moved fast. He pushed Leo behind him and pulled out his gun. "Stay here," Kai ordered. "Like hell." Leo followed him anyway. Kai gave him an angry look but did not have time to argue. They moved to the front window and peeked out. Two black SUVs had stopped in the driveway. Men in dark clothes got out. They carried guns. "Friend or enemy?" Leo asked. "Stay behind me and shut up." Kai killed the lights in the house. The place went dark. He checked his phone. No signal. Someone was jamming it. "Back door," Kai said quietly. "Now." They moved through the kitchen. Leo grabbed a knife from the counter just in case. Kai opened the back door slowly. The yard behind the house was dark. Trees everywhere. They stepped outside. Cold air hit Leo's bare skin. He shivered but kept moving. Kai led the way toward the tree line. A shot rang out. The bullet hit the ground near Leo's feet. "Run!" Kai shouted. They sprinted into the woods. Branches whipped at Leo's face and chest. His bare feet hurt on the rocks and sticks but he did not stop. Kai stayed right beside him, gun ready. Another shot. This one grazed Kai's arm. Blood soaked his sleeve. "Fuck," Kai growled. They kept running deeper into the trees. Leo's lungs burned. He was not used to this kind of exercise. Clubbing and fucking did not prepare a man for running from bullets in the middle of the night. Kai pulled him behind a thick tree trunk. They pressed close together. Leo could feel Kai's heart beating fast against his chest. "How many?" Leo whispered. "At least six. Maybe more." Kai looked at Leo's bare feet and the scratches on his chest. Something changed in his eyes. Not just duty. Something hotter. More possessive. "You okay?" Kai asked. "Yeah. Just fucking cold." Kai took off his jacket and wrapped it around Leo's shoulders. It was warm and smelled like gun oil and Kai's skin. "Keep it on." Leo smirked even though his feet were bleeding. "My hero." "Shut up." They heard voices getting closer. Men calling out in Italian. Rossi family enemies. Probably the Moretti crew. They had been trying to take over territory for months. Kai checked his gun. Only a few bullets left. "We need to circle back to the cars or find a phone." Leo nodded. He was scared but he would not show it. He was a Rossi. Rossis did not run forever. They fought back. They moved again. Slower this time. Kai kept one hand on Leo's back, guiding him. Every touch felt electric after what they had done in the bedroom. They reached a small clearing. One of the enemy men stepped out from behind a tree. He raised his gun at Leo. Kai moved like lightning. He tackled the man to the ground and slammed his head against a rock. The man went still. Kai took his gun and extra magazines. "Take this," Kai said and handed the extra gun to Leo. Leo checked it. Loaded. Good. They kept going. The sound of more men came from the left. Kai pulled Leo down behind some bushes. They lay flat on the cold ground. Kai's body covered most of Leo's, protecting him. Leo turned his head. Their faces were inches apart. He could see the blood on Kai's arm. "You are bleeding," Leo said softly. "Focus." But Leo could not focus. Not with Kai's weight on him and the memory of Kai fucking him still fresh. He shifted his hips a little. His cock was getting hard again even in the middle of this mess. Kai felt it. His eyes narrowed. "You are unbelievable." "What? Danger makes me horny." Kai pressed a hand over Leo's mouth. "Quiet." Two men walked past the bushes. Close enough that Leo could smell their cigarettes. Kai waited until they were gone then removed his hand. Leo licked Kai's palm before he pulled it away. "Tastes like blood and sweat. My favorite." Kai looked like he wanted to strangle him and fuck him at the same time. They waited a few more minutes then stood up. Kai led them toward the main road. They stayed in the trees. After almost an hour of walking they saw lights ahead. A small gas station on the edge of the highway. Closed for the night but there was a pay phone outside. "Stay here," Kai said. "No. I am coming with you." Kai sighed but did not argue this time. They crossed the open space quickly. Kai used the pay phone while Leo kept watch with the gun. Kai spoke fast and quiet. He gave their location and told whoever was on the line to send clean cars and more men. When he hung up he turned to Leo. "They will be here in twenty minutes. We wait inside the station." They broke the lock on the door and went inside. The place smelled like old coffee and motor oil. Kai checked every corner then locked the door behind them. Leo sat on the counter. His feet were cut up pretty bad. Blood on the floor. Kai noticed. He grabbed a first aid kit from behind the counter and knelt in front of Leo. "Give me your foot." Leo lifted one foot. Kai cleaned the cuts with alcohol wipes. It stung like hell but Leo did not complain. He watched Kai's hands. Big. Rough. Careful with him right now. "You are good at this," Leo said. "I have done it before." "For who?" "People who mattered." Leo tilted his head. "Do I matter?" Kai looked up at him. His eyes were dark. "You are my job." "Bullshit. You fucked me like I mattered." Kai finished bandaging the foot and started on the other one. "That was adrenaline. Nothing more." Leo reached down and ran his fingers through Kai's short hair. "Then why are you hard right now?" Kai was hard. The front of his pants showed it clearly. Kai finished the bandage and stood up. He stepped between Leo's legs. "You never know when to stop talking." Leo wrapped his legs around Kai's waist and pulled him closer. "Make me stop." Kai kissed him hard. Same as before. Angry and hungry. Leo kissed back and ground his cock against Kai's stomach. They did not have much time but they did not care. Kai pulled Leo's sweatpants down just enough. Leo's cock was already leaking. Kai took both their cocks in his big hand and stroked them together. "Fuck," Leo groaned. Kai stroked faster. Rough. His other hand held Leo's hip tight enough to bruise. Leo bit Kai's neck. "I want to fuck you next time." Kai made a low sound. "You think you can handle that?" "I know I can." Kai stroked them harder. Leo came first again. He spilled over Kai's hand and onto his own stomach. Kai followed right after. Thick ropes of cum mixed together. They breathed hard against each other. Kai wiped his hand on a rag from the counter. "Clean up. Our ride will be here soon." Leo pulled his pants back up. He was smiling. "See? We can do both. Fight and fuck." Kai looked at him for a long moment. "This is going to get us killed." "Probably. But it will be fun until then." Headlights appeared outside. Two new SUVs. Rossi men this time. Leo recognized the drivers. Kai checked them carefully before they stepped outside. One of the men nodded at Kai. "Don wants you both back at the main compound. Extra security is already there." Leo climbed into the back seat. Kai sat next to him. As the car started moving Leo put his hand on Kai's thigh. Kai did not push it away. Leo leaned close and whispered, "When we get there I am going to ride you until you forget your own name." Kai turned and looked at him. There was heat in his eyes. And something else. Something that looked a lot like the start of real trouble. "Try it," Kai said quietly. "See what happens." Leo grinned. The war outside was just beginning. But the one between them had already started. And neither of them wanted to stop it. The car drove into the night. Leo kept his hand on Kai's thigh the whole way. He could not wait to get behind closed doors again. Because next time he was not going to let Kai stay in control the whole time. He wanted to see the big man fall apart under him too. And he always got what he wanted.Chapter 59The next three days became a silent war within the walls of their own empire.Leo and Kai moved like predators through their own organization. Quiet interrogations. Financial audits conducted under the guise of “reform optimization.” Loyalty tests disguised as casual conversations. Every council member, every capo, every underboss was scrutinized.By the end of day two, they had identified four potential leaks. Two were minor — men who had accepted small bribes but hadn’t acted yet. They were removed cleanly and quietly. The third was more serious: a mid-level captain who had been feeding information to the Shadow Council for weeks. He was found floating in the river the following morning.The fourth was the real problem.Councilman Franco — one of the original five who had supported Leo’s reform from the beginning — had been playing both sides. The evidence was ironclad: encrypted messages, offshore accounts, and meetings with known Shadow Council intermediaries.They brou
Chapter 61Gunfire tore through the darkness like thunder.The moment the lights died, Leo dropped low and rolled behind a stack of crates, Kai moving with him in perfect sync. Bullets chewed into the concrete where they had been standing seconds earlier.“Ambush!” Leo shouted, drawing his pistol and returning fire toward the muzzle flashes.Kai was already moving, a shadow in the blackness. He dropped one attacker with a suppressed shot to the head, then another as he flanked left. Leo covered him, putting rounds through the chest of a gunman trying to circle behind them.The Shadow Council woman’s voice cut through the chaos from somewhere deeper in the warehouse. “You were always meant to die for the cause, Leo! Your mother planned it beautifully. A hybrid martyr to unite the families under her vision. You were never supposed to survive this long!”Leo snarled and pushed forward, Kai right beside him. They moved like one lethal organism — Leo drawing fire while Kai delivered killin
Chapter 60 The announcement of the wedding sent ripples through the entire organization. By the next morning, the estate was buzzing with a strange mix of celebration and paranoia. Some capos sent cautious congratulations and gifts. Others watched from the shadows, waiting to see if this was the final proof that Leo had gone soft. Leo didn’t care. He was done performing for them. He and Kai spent the morning in the war room with the inner circle, balancing wedding details with the growing Shadow Council threat. “We keep the ceremony small,” Leo said, marking locations on a map. “Here at the estate, in the rose garden. Immediate family and the council only. No outsiders. No spectacle that can be turned into a target.” Kai nodded, arms crossed. “I’ll handle security personally. Luca, you and the twins run outer perimeter. Elena, you stay with Mia inside the secure wing.” Elena looked up from her tablet. “I can do both. Mia’s safer if I’m close anyway.” Marco leaned forward, still
Chapter 59The morning after the dock raid broke gray and heavy over the estate.Leo stood on the repaired section of the main balcony overlooking the river, a black coffee in one hand and Kai’s arm around his waist. Below them, crews were already clearing debris and boarding up the worst of the damage. Smoke still rose faintly from the east wing, but the fires were out. For the first time in weeks, the estate felt like it might actually heal.Kai pressed a kiss to the side of Leo’s neck, right over a fading bite mark. “You should be resting.”“I’ve rested enough,” Leo murmured. “Today we announce it. The marriage. No more hiding. No more waiting for the next ghost to crawl out of the dark.”Kai’s grip tightened. “Good. I want everyone to know you’re mine. Legally. Publicly. Permanently.”They met the inner circle in the war room an hour later. The mood was exhausted but lighter than it had been in months. Mia sat beside Elena, still pale but no longer shaking. Marco looked stronger,
Chapter 58 The convoy tore through the predawn streets like a funeral procession that refused to die. Leo sat in the back of the armored SUV, Mia wrapped in a blanket between him and Elena. The girl was shaking, silent tears streaming down her face, but she was alive. That was what mattered. Kai drove, knuckles white on the wheel, eyes constantly scanning mirrors and rooftops. Luca’s team followed close behind, Marco in the third vehicle despite the doctors’ protests. “We hit them at sunrise,” Leo said, voice low and final. “No more negotiations. No more waiting for them to come to us. We take the fight to Viktor’s main compound on the docks.” Elena looked up, eyes red but fierce. “I’m in. All the way.” Mia clutched her sister’s arm tighter. “Please… just make it stop.” Kai glanced at Leo in the rearview mirror. Their eyes met — a silent promise passing between them. No more half-measures. No more playing defense. By the time they reached the estate, the sun was just beginning
Chapter 57 The amphitheater smelled of gunpowder, blood, and fear. Leo stood motionless on the central platform, phone gripped so tightly in his hand that the screen threatened to crack. Viktor Drago’s face filled the display, calm and merciless, while the knife pressed deeper against Mia’s throat. A thin line of blood already trickled down her neck. “You have until sunrise,” Viktor repeated. “Marry into the family. Produce the alliance your mother promised. Or we stop playing with pawns and start removing pieces that matter. Starting with this girl… and ending with everyone you’ve tried to protect.” The feed cut to black. For three full seconds, the only sound was the wind moving through the stone seats and the distant groans of the wounded. Then Leo exploded into motion. He spun toward Dante, still chained and bleeding on the ground, and kicked him hard in the ribs. “Where are they holding her? Talk!” Dante coughed up blood and laughed weakly. “You think I know every cartel
