The next morning Rebecca woke up to her phone ringing. Sighing she grabbed it and pressed the answer button without looking at the name that flashed across the screen, “what?”“Well good morning to you too,” she heard Joni says. She could hear the irritation in her tone.“Sorry. Morning,” she sighed as she adjusted herself in bed.“That’s better. How is it going at lover boys place? Is it huge? His place not him,” Joni rattled off and giggled at her last comment. Rebecca rolled her eyes.“Ha. Ha. His place is nice and he isn't my lover boy.”“Sure, he isn't.”“I swear nothing has happened. He already got this I highly doubt he's much of a repeat offender when it comes to women,” Rebecca threw her feet over the side of the bed. She put Joni on speaker phone and stood up to stretch. “believe me he has made it very clear that after this is all over, I will never see him again. I mean he’s a criminal anyways it would never work.”Joni sighed, “he hot. And you really can't fault a guy for
Vincent walked into his parent’s house and was greeted by his mother. “Hello, Son,” she said kissing his cheek. She wiped the lipstick print that was left behind, “Your father is in his office. Tobin and Dom are already here,” she informed him before walking off.Turning to the stairs, he took them two at a time making his way to his office. As he opened the door her heard his father, Tobin, and Domenico talking. Gio had sent him a text letting him know that he had something to do with Vanessa, his fiancé, so he would be late.“Son, you’re here,” his father greeted him. Vincent nodded at the men in the room as he unbuttoned his jacket and took his usual set in front of his father’s desk. “What is the plan for the meeting tomorrow?” His father asked him.Vincent sighed. He was not looking forward to this meeting he knew that the outcome was most likely not going to be what they all hoped. Nothing ever seemed to be easy in his world. “Hopefully we can find something to appease him for n
Rebecca woke up the next morning in Vincent bed with his arms strongly secured around her waist. She smiled thinking about the night before. It had been amazing and she didn’t have even a little regret. She knew they were just killing time and she was okay with that.She felt a small pang of hungry and decided to get up and make breakfast. She tried to wiggle out of Vincent’s hold but it only tightened the more she moved. “Stay,” Vincent said sleep still thick in his voice. Rebecca couldn’t help but smile she liked that the big bad mafia man was a cuddler.“I’m hungry, Vince,” she said rolling over to face him.“Me too,” he winked at her and laughed when she blushed from him innuendo. He leaned in and kissed her lips before moving to her neck and provoking her into a repeat of the events from the night before.Thirty minutes later they both finally agreed that they should get up. “You go sh
Pulling up to the warehouse that had been agreed upon, Vincent sighed. He didn’t have a lot of faith in this meeting turning out how anyone on his side wanted it to. This was how his father wanted it but, he knew that he couldn’t give in to any demands or it would show weakness and the future Capo couldn’t afford to have any of that.“Back-up is in place?” He asks Gio and Domenico as he reaches for the door handle.“Everyone is ready if this ends up going the way we all know it will,” Gio tells him. Nodding, Vincent opens the door and starts for the building. His brother and cousin follow behind him both looking around as discreetly as possible to make sure that there is no one in the area that they are unprepared for.“Two on the roof and one on the corner,” Domenico said quietly so that only the other two men could hear. Both nodded their understanding. They continued into the warehouse.When they get to the meeting room that they see that Enzo was there already. His right-hand man,
A week went by and Vincent had the surgery and was well on his way to healing. Him and Rebecca had also continued with their deal. Rebecca spent every night in Vincent’s bed. She loved that he was a cuddlier and enjoyed every moment realizing that one day it would be over.Vincent woke up and rolled over to watch Rebecca sleep. She was definitely beautiful. He realized this along with how much he really liked her in his bed. Even when they weren't rolling around making each other feel better than either had ever felt before, he enjoyed her there. He gently tucked a stand of hair behind her ear so he didn’t wake her. He knew that he couldn’t keep her. It wasn’t safe and she wasn’t made for this life. Sighing he lightly kissed her lips before climbing out of bed.He rotated his shoulder making him wince. The surgery was two days ago and even though he knew it was crazy to do so, he hoped that it would feel better by now. The plans for today
Vincent woke up the next day with Rebecca curled up in his arms with her face buried in his chest. He sighed and ran his finger through her hair. He would be content to just spend the day like this with her but he knew he had to get up. The attack had been successful and he knew that there would be retaliation sooner rather than later.He moved gently and tried not to wake her before heading to the bathroom to shower. As he stood under the water, he thought about how he was getting too close to her and it wasn’t safe. This thought was in his mind constantly. He just wanted her safe. He had been avoiding what he knew he had to do. He sighed when he stepped out of the shower hating that he couldn’t think of anything else but what he was about to do.As he dried himself off, he could hear Rebecca talking. “Who are you?” She asked someone.“I’m Vince’s girlfriend. Who the hell are you?” He heard Milena’s annoying

Chapter 34It’s been a week since Vincent dropped Rebecca off at the safehouse. That’s also the amount of time since she had seen him. She didn’t understand what was going on. She wondered if she had done something wrong. If that was the real reason that he left her in the middle of nowhere and hadn't contacted her since. Tobin had come to see her every other day. Rebecca asked him for information every time but, Tobin had told her that Vincent had told him to not tell her anything so that she was completely protected in all ways. This just made Rebecca mad. When Tobin noticed how angry she got when he said this, he tried bringing Rosalina to visit with him. That only happened once since he caught Rosalina just before she told Rebecca some of a conversation she had overheard between Vincent and Domenico.By the beginning of the second week, she had grown tired of Tobin’s excuses. She stomped around the house until she finally found Bruno sitting in the living room watching a movie. “B
