❄︎ Viktor ❄︎

Smoke permeated the interior of my car from the 180-degree drift I made in the opposite direction.

I’d tailed Rosa’s envoy to her gates, only to receive a call from Adrian about a breach on my own doorstep.

The Mexicans came for Primo.

I slam my fists on the wheel and cut off the freeway toward my estate.

Fucking pests. Every last one.

Now that a more reliable and easy witness had come to light, I wouldn’t hesitate this time in putting a bullet between the eyes of their beloved leader.

A familiar vehicle whizzed past me, bearing my license plates, and I knew that Dante was on his way to Rosa.

I’d ordered Adrian to send him there in my stead. He’d proven his loyalty even in the face of being skinned and tortured, revealing no information about his Donna, and I trusted him to stand by her with his life.

Whipping out my pistol, I opened the door and rolled onto the ground, letting the car crash into the foreign cars at my gates.

I rolled to a stop in the middle of the carnag

  • Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia Romance   Chapter 73 - What He Wants

    ❦ Rosalind ❦ One minute you have a clear-cut path ahead of you. Plans made, all i’s dotted and t’s crossed.Then you make the mistake of mounting a thick-cocked criminal with a hard-on for your hotel.Then he fucks your brains out and now your organs slosh around after being pulverized by his veined, pink-tipped cock.I pressed myself closer to his naked chest and sniffed him as covertly as possible.I almost sighed.If it weren’t for the issue of the asset between us, he might have made a good friend. Maybe even a good boyfriend, but I didn’t get to taste those versions of him before being bodyslammed into a marriage.And now, I realized with horror, I found myself feeling that he made a good husband.Now that he wasn’t actively trying to kill me, his soft side and possessive side under all that show of power slipped out, and I liked it.I was starting to get too comfortable.I wondered what Viktor wanted to show me. I hoped it was a rose-littered hotel room and another round of wha

  • Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia Romance   Chapter 72 - The Cost of Her

    ❄︎ Viktor ❄︎“What the fuck was that?”I held my trembling wife against me at the shot, my earpiece buzzing in my ear with a response from Jacques.“A lone shooter, but he’s been terminated, boss. It’s under control.”After running a quick confirmation check with the rest of my men, I glanced down at Rosa, easing my grip on her shoulder.“You’re okay. Let’s go.”Pulling up her jeans, damp with our sweat and pleasure, she looked at me with wide eyes, shaken from the bang.My fists clenched at not being able to handle the shooter myself for scaring her and potentially causing her harm.“What was that?” she asked, arms coming around my side.I froze at the contact. This was one of the few times she leaned into me of her own accord that didn’t precede sex, and I’d be damned if I say I didn’t enjoy her touch.I wrapped one arm around her shoulders to press her further into me. “We’re about to find out.”The splayed body of a middle-aged man, facial features mashed into his skull, bled out

  • Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia Romance   Chapter 71 - Burning for You

    ❦ Rosalind ❦ My eyes widened as I realized what he meant to do. No way was I letting him leave me high and dry.“Don’t. Fucking. Dare.”“What do you want?” he asked matter-of-factly.Protection? Companionship? Freedom?I told him none of those things.“I want you to finish what you started. Then I want you to leave me the fuck alone.”He was pushing me off his thighs as I spoke, and I fought the sting of tears in my eyes at his blank expression.Would it hurt him to just be soft? To communicate? To treat me as something more than the heiress whose name graces the property deeds and a warm body to fuck?We were married but I couldn’t even call us friends. Just acquaintances trying to one-up the other and fucking whenever we breathed in the direction of each other.I got off him, struggling to button my jeans when a large hand swept over the table, sending everything crashing to the floor.The booth door slid closed with a soft rattle.His arms trapped my waist and bent me over the now

  • Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia Romance   Chapter 70 - Starved for You

    ❦ Rosalind ❦ Despite my bravado and strong negative feelings towards this unfairly handsome man, I stood before him, desperate for his touch.The whiff of his masculinity was stronger now, and I physically restrained myself from sinking into his neck and sniffing his sweaty skin until tomorrow. If he would let me. He seemed pissed.Oh, right.The thing with Dominic.“Viktor…” I trailed off.I hadn’t had anything to say, just a pressing need to dilute the silence.He stared at me, his head level with my chest that rose up and down with my breaths.He leaned back without a word, tapping on his thighs in invitation. I gawked for a moment before sitting.He was behaving strangely and not at all what I’d expected.I’d expected carnage and punishment, not… whatever this new persona was. Though I couldn’t deny that there was something dangerous lurking under his skin.Reaching over, he plucked a single grape from the center of the table, and hovered it in front of me.I parted my lips, tugg

  • Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia Romance   Chapter 69 - Into His Darkness

    ❦ Rosalind ❦ I swirled my tongue over my straw, demurely tasting my drink as Dominic stood up to face his sister.“Sabella.” There was a warning in his tone.“So this is what you had to attend to? You were supposed to come with me to the lawyers. But you left me to come see this bitch. Who is married, by the way.”I frizzled at the name-calling but didn’t react whatsoever.A few heads were already turning to glance in our direction at the drama.“I can’t wait to see what Viktor thinks about this.” She sneered over Dominic’s shoulder at me.I blinked slowly, savoring the soft buzz the alcohol was spreading in my system.I was too distracted by my plans and my husband’s reaction when he found out, as he definitely would. I wondered what he would do to me. I imagined it would be more severe than a spanking session.“We were talking business, Sabby. I apologize for missing your hearing, but I was going to pick you up right after. Go home.”“No, I want to be here when he arrives and puts

  • Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia Romance   Chapter 68 - White Noise

    ❄︎ Viktor ❄︎“Do you have a fucking death wish?!”The bumbling cleaner startled, then scuttled out of my sight.He had no idea how close he’d been to dying for interrupting my session. Sweat rolled down my brows and stung my eyes, but my hits on the bag did not relent.Pain.Anything to distract from the fact that my plans were moving slower than I fucking planned, and my heiress was acting as a wedge to impede them.I had more than enough evidence stacked up against Giancarlo to earn him a life imprisonment for trafficking in the States, but that wasn’t my endgame.I wanted the whole web taken down from the very top, and Giancarlo was just an inconsequential bug in the grand scheme of things.Shaking drops of sweat off my hair, I grabbed a bottle of water and gulped while I moved toward the throwing rack.Money was coming in, my rep was good, no one was stepping ten feet near my toes. And maybe that was the problem, I’d become so unoccupied, I was letting the whims of a certain heir
