TommasoI shoved my phone back in my pocket and stormed out of the little room that had become Lyle’s office, past Killian.“What the fuck just happened?” Killian demanded.“We took out a fucking kid,” I hissed. I knew the men around us were allies he trusted enough to bring in on enough of the plan to help us, but I only trusted them that far. The last thing I needed was anyone finding out that we’d accidentally kidnapped or killed a seventeen-year-old, or that Sophia fucking Marino was in the wind.Killian nodded sharply, seeming to go through the exact same train of thought. Without another word, we split in opposite directions. I headed for the basement.Fuck, I hadn’t seen Sophia Marino since she was, what, ten? I remembered her uncle Niccolo bringing her to a family event one of the more friendly syndicates held, after Freddie, Riccardo’s eldest, her father, died in that raid, and obviously wanting nothing to do with her. I kind of felt bad for the kid. She was so tiny, and she
Taken by the Mafia King Summers on the Shore
PaigeIn the months since Lauren stopped being my therapist and became my best friend, I’d seen a lot of new sides of her. I’d seen her drunk, furious at the city regulations that kept us from adding additional protections to the Haven, flirting outrageously with a random musclehead at a bar. But never, in all that time, had I seen her cry. My stomach dropped instantly to my toes. She sank to take a seat on the stairs, and I sat instantly next to her. Sera, seeming to sense that, while she and I were closer than we used to be, that friendship didn’t transfer, passed me a box of tissues from the same hall table where Natalia left her phone and disappeared.I rubbed Lauren’s back and offered her a tissue.“Fuck, I’m so sorry,” she said. “I shouldn’t…shouldn’t be reacting like this.”“It’s okay,” I said. “This stuff is intense. You don’t have to be perfect all the time.”She shook her head and scrubbed at her tears. “I don’t want to be perfect, but—”I smiled. “Nope. You taught me about

TommasoAs soon as I saw the picture, I raced over to the Haven. The girl who wouldn’t speak, the one who’d barely moved, was the girl I’d been looking for all along. Riccardo Marino had stooped lower than I’d ever dreamed, to sell his underage granddaughter. I hadn’t changed clothes, so the iron reek of blood still clung to me, and exhaustion started to slow my every move.But all of that left my mind when I saw Paige at the top of the stairs. Her bright red hair had tumbled out of the messy bun I’d seen earlier, bags hung under her eyes, and she moved with aching slowness that reminded me a little too much of when I’d first found her, like she didn’t quite trust her body to keep holding her up. I just opened my arms.She stepped into me, and I held her. Part of me expected her to start crying. Part of me almost expected me to start crying, from the sheer intensity, the ups and downs of the night I’d had. I’d gotten everything I’d wanted, nearly lost it again, and none of it mattered
Taken by the Mafia King Taking Care
PaigeI ran my tongue along the underside of Tom’s cock, barely noticing the way the tiles of the shower dented into my knees. I didn’t know anymore if I’d meant to give him a blowjob when I started cleaning the chaos of the Mansion off his body, but I knew now that nothing could make more sense. I dropped the soap to the floor of the shower and grabbed his ass as he threaded a hand into my hair.He was salty, musky, and overwhelming, but after the care he’d taken with my hair, I was relaxed. There was nothing in this bathroom but us and the early morning light. In these rare moments we got together, I wanted nothing more than to take care of him. So I bobbed slowly up and down, going far enough back that only his tip remained between my lips and pushing far enough forward that I could feel him hitting the back of my throat. His hand in my hair didn’t push me this way or that, just let me set an achingly slow pace.I pulled all the way back and cupped his balls in one hand, caressing
Taken by the Mafia King Saying Godbye
PaigeI walked into the Haven the afternoon after the auction at the Mansion with Lyle at my side. I’d really meant to be in early, but after falling asleep at sunrise, I hadn’t been able to get myself out of bed until after noon.“Okay, I’m going to set you up in my office,” I said. “We need to be able to check the information with you, but there are still a lot of women here who aren’t recently kidnapped mob daughters, so I’d like to keep you out of sight.”He nodded, and I thought he looked a little relieved. Lyle was awkward at the best of times, and no matter how good his intentions were, I didn’t really want to know what he’d have to say to a bunch of very recent sex-trafficking victims. It seemed he didn’t either.Sera and Lauren stood in the common room with most of the women we’d rescued last night, clearly collecting information. Lauren looked a little puffy-eyed, like she’d stayed up the rest of the night and come in at her normal time, but otherwise, she seemed okay. I nod

PaigeI opened and closed my mouth a few times. How did I answer a question like that? Why did her grandfather sell her? Sophia just stared up at me, nearly as frozen as she had been but with her thin, cold fingers clamped around my wrist.“Your grandfather was a bad man,” I said awkwardly. “An evil one.”She didn’t move. That wasn’t nearly enough, and I knew it. With a sigh, I sat down on the couch next to her. She didn’t release my wrist, just shifted with me.“Riccardo Marino had been in the mafia for a long, long time. And”—I shrugged—“I’m not a lot older than you, but I’m old enough to know that when you keep doing the same thing, it starts to seem like the only thing you can do.”Memories of keeping all my emotions locked up tight in my mind, of my shame and fury when my reactions to my trauma broke loose, poured through my mind. Only tons of work with Lauren, and continuing work with my new therapist, had broken me out of that rut.“If I had to guess, I’d say your grandpa neede

TommasoI readjusted the chair at Marino’s desk for the third time and swore to myself I’d get an interior designer in her before I turned it into anything. The old man had crap taste, especially in squeaky wooden rolling chairs for desks. His office was huge, but so comically dark it looked like it was waiting for a fairytale princess to come open the curtains for the first time in a century as a metaphor for warming the prince’s heart, and it was starting to grate on me.Or maybe what was grating on me was the mountain of paperwork in front of me. Riccardo had resisted joining the new millennium as much as he could, and aside from the elements of the business Niccolo had been involved in, like tracking the details of the women, his records looked like they hadn’t left 1980. I’d figured out that he had less money than I’d anticipated and almost nothing else yet. At this point, half my job was organizing the papers to be digitized.My phone rang, and I snatched it up with a sigh of re
Taken by the Mafia King Slaying Dragons
PaigeI sat at the table in the group room across from my office at the shelter with the final two women rescued from the Mansion that we didn’t know if we could release.Daniela, a woman a few years older than me with short, pitch-black hair, crossed her arms. “I know I agreed to stick around until you figured this out, but I’m telling you, my family wouldn’t do this to me. Your guy is running into a clerical error or something, probably for both of us.”I nodded. “He definitely might be. If we had concrete information either way, you’d know.”Luci, the brunette who’d first asked me if she could call her family back in the basement, swiped tears from her eyes. “I’m not so sure. My brother was really quiet the week before I was kidnapped.”“Don’t say that.” Daniela whipped toward her. “They’re missing both of our information, and that’s probably for a good reason, so since my family didn’t do this to me, yours probably didn’t do this to you.”Luci shrank, and I put my hands up.“There
