UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 58: Then let's go to war
"What do you want?" Eve asked quietly.Dimitri turned, and the look in his eyes made her breath catch."I want you," he said simply. "Only you. For as long as you'll have me."Eve crossed to him, took his face in her hands the way he so often did to hers."Then you have me," she said. "And we'll handle Enzo together. And Isabella. And your father. And whoever else thinks they can use me to break you." She kissed him softly. "I'm not fragile, Dimitri. I'm not your mother. I'm the woman who watched you torture a man and got wet. I'm the woman who saw you covered in blood and chose to stay. I'm the woman who fell in love with the Devil knowing exactly what that meant."His arms came around her, crushing her against his chest."He said I should ask you about your mother," Eve murmured into his shoulder. "About what happens to the women you love. But here's what he doesn't know...." She pulled back enough to meet his eyes. "You haven't said you love me yet. And maybe you don't. Maybe you w
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Cgapter 57: Are you trying to scare me away?
Finally, he stepped back, loosening his tie as he moved to the window she'd stood at earlier."My mother," he said, his voice carefully controlled, "was Claire Ashworth Valentino. American. Beautiful. Kind. She met my father when she was twenty-two, on vacation in Rome. He was thirty-five, already a made man, already dangerous." He stared out at the city. "She didn't know what he was. Not at first. By the time she understood, she was pregnant with me, and she loved him enough to convince herself she could handle it."Eve stayed silent, giving him space."They married. She moved to Italy. Had me. And for eight years, she tried to be the wife my father wanted....obedient, quiet, the perfect mafia princess." His jaw clenched. "But she wasn't built for that world. She was soft. Gentle. She collected bird books and taught me all their names. She cried when my father brought business home, when there was blood on his hands, when men screamed in the basement.""Dimitri....""When I was eight
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 56: You Should Be Afraid Of Him
Eve walked to the window, looking down at the street below. Somewhere down there, Enzo Valentino was probably very pleased with himself. He'd gotten exactly what he wanted....chaos, doubt, a wedge driven between her and Dimitri right when something bigger was clearly already in motion.In the family business, loyalty is everything. But so is knowing which side of the line you're standing on.She'd already chosen her side seven weeks ago, drunk and devastated and desperate in a nightclub.She'd chosen it again when she signed that contract.And again when she told Mike she loved Dimitri.And again when she said I love you to Dimitri's face and watched him struggle to understand what the words meant.Enzo Valentino thought he could shake her certainty with cryptic warnings and dead mothers and insinuations about surviving the Devil's attention.He had no idea how strong her certainty had become."Marco," she said, still looking out the window. "When Dimitri gets here, I want you to tell
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 55: Not Everyone Survives The Devil's Attention
It was a reasonable explanation. Plausible.But Eve's instincts....instincts she'd learned to trust over seven weeks of living in Dimitri's world....were screaming that something was very, very wrong.Marco had moved. Just slightly, but he was closer to the desk now, his eyes locked on Enzo with an intensity that would have made most men nervous.Enzo didn't seem to notice. Or if he did, he didn't care."Mr. Valentino....""Enzo, please.""Enzo." Eve kept her voice level. "I appreciate your interest in Phoenix, but I'm not currently looking to bring on new partnerships. My focus is on organic growth and maintaining the culture we've built."It was a polite dismissal. Professional. Final.Enzo didn't move."Of course," he said, but he didn't stand. "Though I hope you'll reconsider. Sometimes the right partnership can offer... protection. Stability in unstable times."The way he said protection made every nerve in her body stand at attention."I have all the protection I need," she said
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 54: Enzo Went To Eve's Company
POV: EVEThe afternoon light filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of her office, casting long shadows across the polished mahogany desk. Eve leaned back in her chair, reviewing the quarterly reports spread before her. Phoenix Talent Agency had grown another twelve percent this quarter.....a fact that would have filled her with pride if she could focus on anything other than the knot of unease that had been tightening in her chest since breakfast.Dimitri's face this morning. The way he'd held that kiss at the elevator. Tonight. I'll tell you tonight.Something was coming. Something big enough that even Nonna had moved into the penthouse."Ms. Thorne?" Her assistant Melissa's voice crackled through the intercom, pulling her from her thoughts. "Your three o'clock is here. Mr. Valentino from Russo Holdings."Eve's fingers stilled on the contract she'd been reading. Valentino. The name sent a strange flutter through her stomach....not Dimitri's first name, but his last. Probably
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 53: Tell Enzo to call me
She looked at him for a long moment.She could push. She could ask the question she'd been assembling since breakfast, could lay out the pieces, the distracted thumb, the careful eyes, Marco's arrival, the collar, the kiss held one beat too long, and ask him what they added up to.Instead she said: "Okay."Something moved through his expression. "That's all?""For now." She held his gaze. "But Dimitri, when you're ready to tell me what's actually happening, I'll be ready to hear it."He looked at her the way he sometimes did, like she'd surprised him, which she was beginning to understand was rare. Like she'd moved in a direction he hadn't predicted.He cupped her face."Tonight," he said quietly. "I'll tell you tonight.""Okay." She turned her lips briefly into his palm. "Tonight."The elevator opened. She stepped in.He stood with his hand on the door, holding it open for one extra second, his eyes on her with that particular attention she'd memorised, the kind that was less about lo
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 30: Two Weeks
It was... adorable.Eve picked up her fork and took a bite of eggs. They were perfect. Fluffy and seasoned with something she couldn't identify but that made them the best eggs she'd ever tasted."Good?" Nonna asked, watching her like a hawk."Incredible," Eve said honestly.Nonna beamed. "Good. Yo

POV: EVEEve woke to an empty bed and the sound of voices drifting from somewhere in the penthouse.She sat up slowly, her body still tender from the weekend's activities, and checked the time. Nine AM. She'd slept for almost fifteen hours straight.The bedroom door was cracked open, and she could

She had. She really had."When?" she asked. "When do you think... when would you want...?""To marry you?" He smiled. "When the six months are up. When you've had time to truly know what you're choosing. When there's no doubt in either of our minds that this is forever."Four and a half months.Fou
