[Warning: R18+]
Every instinct of self-preservation surged within me. I lunged at him, scratching his face and delivering several punches to his kidneys. He was a strong and formidable figure, far from the attractive person I had initially thought he was. He belonged to a secretive organization and had a captivating presence that demanded respect.
With a threatening growl, he forcefully pushed me onto the bed, using his weight to pin me down. He effortlessly grabbed both my wrists and held them above my head. I couldn't escape his overpowering strength; I was completely at his mercy.
"That was not kind, Madeline, and you will face severe consequences for it. I will give you a taste of what awaits you," he stated firmly.
He shifted, flipping me over and pulling at my shorts. "What do you think you're doing?" I struggled, trying to free myself from his grip.
"I'm giving you what you deserve, princess. A firm spanking."
"Are you insane? I have never been disciplined before. How dare you think you have the right to do such a thing?" I protested, my breathing becoming shallow. I was someone important. I had privileges. I was special. I was...
In the clutches of a monster.
At that moment, I realized that my upbringing as a member of a mafia family had shielded me from the crude actions of someone like him. Despite rejecting certain aspects of my heritage when I came to America, I found this situation utterly intolerable.
A wave of shame washed over me as he growled, his warm breath brushing against my skin. I had never felt such humiliation before, and contradictory feelings of anger and fleeting sympathy surged through me, compelling me to resist my captor with all the strength I could muster.
But he was too powerful, too overwhelming.
I felt the cool air on my exposed buttocks. I moaned, writhing as he pulled down my shorts to my knees. "Stop! How dare you."
"I will do as I please with you when the time comes," he declared, delivering sharp spanks to each cheek, moving from one to the other.
"Curse you! Damn you!" The sound of his hand making contact with my bare skin echoed in my ears. The initial shock was soon replaced by a growing pain that spread through my skin and muscles. He was a man on a mission, delivering increasingly forceful and rapid spanks with precision.
The pain turned into anguish, and I kicked out in an attempt to break free from his grasp.
"I despise you!" I exclaimed.
"Feel free to hate me, but you will still follow my rules," he retorted, exasperated, shifting to a seated position and pulling me onto his lap.
I felt a deep sense of embarrassment mixed with intense anger, while simultaneously devising ways to take revenge on him. He wouldn't escape the consequences of his actions.
He resumed the spanking with renewed determination, his large hand covering my entire buttocks. Strangely, I began to count amidst my ongoing struggle.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
As he continued to deliver hard, even strokes, a strange sensation washed over me. Heat spread from my thighs, and, to my dismay, between my legs. Unintentionally, with each movement of my hips, I glided back and forth across his lap, feeling his pulsating and generously endowed erection. The friction was undeniably arousing.
I couldn't believe it. I was becoming aroused and flushed, my muscles pulsating with desire. Overwhelmed by shame, I fought even harder against my own reactions. But my body repeatedly betrayed me, defying my intentions. I even felt a hint of my own arousal. In my absurd and inappropriate excitement, I dreaded that my wetness might stain his expensive jeans irreparably.
Oh, God. I felt like a wretched, depraved, and terrible person. Overwhelmed with shame.
Two more punishing blows left me gasping for breath, intensifying the pain.
"Stop!" There was no way he could break me. To hell with him. To hell with this place.
"Now, I strongly advise you to reconsider your disrespectful and unpleasant attitude before we continue our discussions. I will not tolerate insolence in any form. And remember, I am the one in control. Now. And. Forever. I will finish your punishment session later." He tossed me back onto the bed, his gaze fixed on my intimate area. I could have sworn he licked his lips.
I hurriedly pulled up my shorts, feeling the heat of embarrassment burning my neck and cheeks.
"Forever." The word echoed in my mind.
As he walked toward the door, straightening his shirt, he muttered softly to himself. "There's a bathroom to your left, and I've provided your initial clothing. The rest will have to be earned. When you're ready, come downstairs for a nice dinner."
I wished I had a knife with me.
He walked toward the exit, running his fingers through his impressive hair. Unbothered by his warning, I swiftly jumped off the bed, seized the bucket, and flung it in his direction. He reacted swiftly, deflecting the attack and preventing its contents from hitting him, although it splattered across the wall. He stiffened, shooting me another stern glare.
"Clean that up, Madeline. Your demerits are piling up, and I will have to address them. Dinner is in one hour. Don't be late," he commanded, his hand resting on the doorknob.
"I'll trust you not to lock the door, but if you're entertaining thoughts of escape, think again. There will be two guards stationed outside your room at all times, and they have the authority to take necessary measures to ensure your compliance."
I crossed my arms, frustrated with my impulsive actions. "Just answer one thing."
"You haven't earned that privilege."
"Firstly, you kidnapped me against my will. I believe I deserve to know your name."
He appeared to contemplate my request, turning slightly to assess me from head to toe. "Fair enough. My name is Victor Racini."
Stunned, I stumbled backward, colliding with the dresser, and winced as he closed the door.
Victor Racini, the son of notorious mafia kingpin Ricardo Racini, renowned as the most infamous and dangerous man in all of California. And that man had just subjected me to a spanking.
Three days prior... At the young age of eleven, I was thrust into the secretive world of organized crime, a dark and treacherous path that would shape my life into something unrecognizable compared to the innocence of my youth. The memories of my initiation into this sinister realm lingered in the recesses of my mind, a disquieting ritual that unfolded when I was only twelve years old. By the time I turned eighteen, I had become a harbinger of destruction, ruthlessly shattering a man's spirit and body with calculated precision as I climbed the ranks of the merciless criminal underworld. At nineteen, I solemnly embraced the realm of murder, extinguishing the life of a treacherous enemy—an initiation that marked my passage into a world of darkness. Yet, it was at the age of twenty-five that time seemed to freeze, crystallized by the cold-blooded murder of my mother—a haunting reminder of the malevolence hidden within, poised to steal one's soul. Pushing aside the ominous thoughts that
My father nodded, his hand shaking as he attempted to take another sip. "Marcos and Sam. Two of my best men." "And they were protecting you?" He looked at me cautiously. "Just like they always do." "Who is responsible?" Ricardo took his time refilling his drink, visibly disturbed by the attack. "It's believed to be Massimo's men." I felt compelled to reconsider everything I had learned over the years, things I would rather not remember. This news could have disastrous consequences. "Are you referring to the Massimo family from Italy? You can't be serious." The Massimo family held significant influence in Italy, much like the Bratvas in Russia. While they were considered extremists who favored traditional methods, they also upheld their sense of honor. Invading America and overthrowing the existing authority was not their style. Killing two of my father's men was either an act of revenge or a prelude to war. Either way, the danger had just escalated. I was furious at the thought,
"Kelan, please focus here!" "May I have a photo with you?" "Great actor. Great actor." The sounds of excitement reverberated, with fans lining the red carpet, eagerly reaching out for a moment with me. The nickname had stuck after a particularly intense romantic scene in my debut film. I stood casually, hands in my pockets, a smile on my face, shielding my eyes behind sunglasses. The premiere of my latest action-adventure film was poised to dominate the box office. A friend in the police force, a devoted fan of mine, had shared details about the murder. While I suspected that the detective's loyalty was influenced by my father's connections, our conversations had never crossed inappropriate boundaries. Over drinks at a strip club, Shane had provided some basic information: a quick hit, shots fired from a black Cadillac through an open window. The perpetrators lacked courage. Instead of reveling in champagne, I found myself consumed by self-pity and anger. Although I had once idoli
"Do you really think it's wise to discuss this here?" Grinder's rough voice grated on my ears as I shifted my gaze towards the imposing man. His eyes held a mix of anger and suspicion, as if he doubted my involvement in the assassination attempt. I had assigned another individual to protect my father, reserving Grinder's assistance for other purposes. My decision hadn't sat well with him. However, within the complex dynamics of crime families, there were unspoken rules, mandates followed by every capo and soldier alike. Whether they liked or respected me was irrelevant, but they had to obey orders. Protecting the Cosa Nostra had become the top priority. I had indeed absorbed everything my father had instilled in me. "I'm certain. I don't want any attention drawn to my involvement. Do you understand?" I stressed the importance of discretion as Grinder shifted uneasily, maintaining his cold gaze. "Yes, boss," he replied. I also required his protection. I wasn't naive, and he was well-
"Damn, buddy. Los Angeles is doing wonders for your tan," Miguel playfully teased as he entered the room, moving with a swagger. "Well, that's part of the job description," I replied absentmindedly. "You're definitely not your father," Lorenzo remarked, heading straight for the bar. "Damn, would you look at those curves." He made some adjustments while leering out the window. I rubbed my temples, tolerating Lorenzo's presence despite finding him somewhat distasteful. "Hands off, she's off-limits." "Same old Victor. Or should we start calling you boss now?" Lorenzo sneered. "That's enough, Lorenzo," Dominick reprimanded. "We're here for a reason. Any word of a war brewing?" "Only from my sources," I said with wavering confidence. I knew what was expected of me. "How's your father holding up?" Miguel inquired. "It's touch and go." "Who the hell is responsible for this mess? It's all over the news. We might as well help you settle in and take care of this bastard while we're at i
Dominick approached, walking closer. "She's scheduled to marry Ernesto Satori in two days. It seems to be an arranged marriage, and it came together quite quickly. The union will bring significant wealth, and the connections are almost as valuable as the money." "As I've said, the man is nothing but a despicable individual," Aleksei growled. "Damn. That's perfect," Lorenzo muttered quietly. "What the hell?" My anger transformed into rage, and spots appeared before my eyes. Everything, even the movie, had been a setup. If I had been closer to my father, I might have detected this scheme months ago. "If that's the case, they can easily dismantle my father's control over California and the entire West Coast." "Exactly," Dominick said, smiling. He moved even closer. "You need to take action regarding this." "What can I possibly do at this stage?" I already knew the answer, understanding exactly where Dominick's twisted mind was leading. "You can stop the marriage and make a firm stan
MADELINE Caught. Abducted. The concept had never crossed my mind until now. Although my father had been an exceptional instructor, teaching me various forms of combat, he had never truly explained the harsh reality of falling into the clutches of a predator. And Victor Racini was undeniably a sinister, intimidating, and unpredictable predator. He was also an actor, having abandoned his upbringing for a more glamorous existence. The irony of him being the one to abduct me left me with countless questions. What was his motive? My guess was that he aimed to thwart the West Coast takeover attempt. I was nothing more than a pawn. However, he was engaged in a perilous and intricate game. I had overheard enough gossip about the recent nightclub murders just a few miles from my apartment. His father's men had been slain, gunned down in the streets. His father, presumed dead, had been shot. Perhaps this was merely an act of revenge. How deeply involved was my father in all of this? My fat
Suppressing a whimper, I held my breath as he roughly touched me. In an instant, I recoiled against the wall as his hand grazed my intimate area. At the same time, the file slipped out from my dress, tumbling to the ground. The second man's amusement vanished as he circled the first brute, examining the fallen file. "Interesting. The boss won't be pleased." "What a pity," I muttered through clenched teeth. The second brute shoved me forward. My fists clenched. Another careless mistake. It wouldn't be repeated. Facing an elaborate staircase, I descended deliberately, despite Victor's probable indifference. Whatever his motives were, I was merely a fraction of them. The soldiers followed behind me, gesturing to the left when I reached the bottom step. With my head held high, I approached, though my stomach churned persistently. The room was vast and lavishly furnished, defying my expectations of a movie star's taste. Glimpses through the windows revealed meticulously manicured sur
