Strip.

For a second I think I misheard him. That maybe the rush of blood in my ears twisted his command into something else. But when my gaze lifts up, Dante is standing there with the door locked behind him. His dark eyes are fixed on me with the same intensity he had when his hand was crushing Charlie’s throat.

He means it. His eyes are unblinking, daring me to defy him.

My fingers twitch at the knot of the belt. I should refuse. I should tell him no. I should remind him he said he wasn’t going to touch me unless I begged. Is he changing his mind now?

He’s already pacing toward me and I know what happens when you bare your teeth at a man like him—you get bitten.

So I do the only thing I can. I obey.

Slowly.

Painfully slow.

I pull the belt, but my clumsy fingers fumble with the knot. If he wants me stripped, then he’ll get it, but not as a gift. Not as surrender.

The belt comes loose, the robe slackens. I don’t let it fall. My breaths are shallow, uneven.

    Annalissa Hale For one fleeting second, I swear I see something dangerous clink in Dante’s eyes. Something that makes my pulse trip over itself.His hands snap up, gripping my hips before I can even blink, and suddenly the power shifts again. I’m flipped onto my back, breathless, with his weight caging me in again.My shiver rakes down my spine. “I warned you,” he says softly as he shifts lower. His mouth grazes the side of my throat. “You don’t get to play with fire unless you’re ready to burn.”Goosebumps race down my arms. His grip is firm and his fingers tighten on my wrists just enough to remind me that he’s bigger, stronger and in control.“Lesson two,” he says, releasing me suddenly and rising to his feet. His chest gleams with sweat as he offers me his hand. “Never assume your opponent is down for good.”I glare up at him, but my cheeks are flaming as I take his hand. He pulls me up too easily.“Again,” he orders.We circle. I feint left, then try to rush him. He side

  • The Mafia Devil’s Wrong Bride   009

    Annalissa Hale I think having a bodyguard follow me everywhere I go is a bit of a stretch just because of a tiny mishap.Maybe not tiny considering the way I yelled all through the ride last night, holding on to Dante’s hand like he’s a lifeline. But I was scared. I’ve never been followed or chased. It was my firsthand reaction to something I’ve never experienced before.Dante, on the other hand, doesn’t feel the same and is taking extra measures to quote-unquote protect me. Which is why I’m canceling my plans for today—which also includes meeting my parents—because Dante wants me to take self defense classes on top of having my own personal body guard.Worse, he’ll be training me. I suspect he just doesn’t want someone else touching “what belongs to him.” I know that’s what he thinks of me as. His possession.“The Don wants you in the training room in five minutes.” Teresa says as she steps into the bedroom and places a pair of leggings and sports bra on the bed. I take a dee

  • The Mafia Devil’s Wrong Bride   008

    Dante Romano I leave her alone for a few minutes and she’s already gotten herself into trouble. That damn woman!My fists clench beside me as I walk down the hallway, slipping next to Issa in front of the reporter who’s holding out the camera. Issa finches next to me and her lips part. I can see the hesitation in her eyes and I immediately pull out a smile.Damage control.“My wife has had a lot to drink tonight.” I say, wrapping my hands around her. “We’ll stop the interview here.”Without waiting for another word from the reporter, I start to pull Issa down the hall. She doesn’t protest. She follows me like she’s still not fully grasping the situation.I clench my teeth. If you at least intend on fooling everyone, you should fucking do your research. I’m sure a few sensible ones would be suspicious by the way she froze on camera. I can’t have her just casually reveal her true identity like that.I can only imagine the kind of blow my reputation in the mafia underworld would t

  • The Mafia Devil’s Wrong Bride   Cornered

    Annalissa Hale Two nights ago, I told myself I wouldn’t care. That Kayleigh’s smug little text was nothing but bait, the same way she tried to bait me at the Romano estate. Maybe she thought I would crumble. Maybe she thought I’d get jealous.But I don’t own Dante. He doesn’t own me either. So they can both do whatever the fuck they want.At least, that’s what I keep telling myself.But standing here now, beneath a chandelier that burns hot against my skin with Dante’s hand heavy at the small of my back, my eyes keep sliding across the room. To her.Kayleigh Miller. She’s laughing too loud at the Prime Minister’s jokes. Her hands are brushing his arm. And I hate that I’m curious. That the words she texted me—don’t worry, your man is in good hands—still echo in my head and I really want to know what’s going on between her and Dante.But I can’t ask him. He’ll take it as me showing interest in him.I’m able to slip away from Dante eventually. He only brought me here to show off

  • The Mafia Devil’s Wrong Bride   Fear

    Dante Romano The sight of another man’s body caging my wife is enough to make me want to break every bone in his face. I’ve killed men for less. My knuckles tighten on the steering wheel until leather creaks. I should’ve ripped the door open the second I saw her stumble out of the building, but I waited, watching. Old habits. A Romano never steps blind into an ambush. But when the bastard slams her against brick, and her head snaps back, I kill the engine and step out. I’m no longer thinking. I’m moving. Her eyes catch mine over his shoulder. Wide and desperate. She’s terrified. But not of me. And I know, with bone-deep certainty, that she will never look at another man that way again. I’ll make damn sure of it. “Let go of her,” I say, low and even. The punk twists, still holding her wrist like he owns it. He doesn’t know yet what mistake he’s made. But he will. Oh, he will. Because no one touches what’s mine. Not without consequences. The blond idiot makes the mistake of
