I woke up over mob boy's legs while he prepared to spank me, oh hell no. I tried twisting away off his lap but he kept me in place with one hard hand in my back. "You up...Good." He brought his hand down hard on my ass. I think I yelled more from the surprise than the actual pain, that hadn't set in yet. "What...I...say...goes." He punctuated each word with a smack to my bare ass that burned. This fucker had lost his mind. "Stop it Shane that hurts." I tried kicking up my legs but he just wrapped his around them somehow and kept wailing away on my ass. "Pretty sure it's supposed to, now be a good girl and take your punishment." I cried, I begged, I pleaded, but to no avail, I was never so embarrassed in my life, how could he? I was crying real tears and plotting his death. What reason was I going to give Pia for killing her son? He rubbed my sore behind when he was done, all the while laying down the law, all I heard was a lot of you can't do

"What the hell are you doing? You didn't ask.""Who can ask you anything? With you I have to just tell or do because you don't listen for shit.""Hey, that's not true...." "Mouth do you not see yourself? You're a pain in the fucking ass. Now that that's done I don't want to hear anymore about whores and shit...you like it?" She looked at the rock I had just forced on her hand. "Four point two...I can't walk around with this shit on my hand...""You ever take that off it's going to be your ass just saying." "Listen Captain twit, stop with the threats and go do something about that eye, it look a mess." Shit I forgot she'd clocked me. I probably had a shiner by now oh fuck Mikey and Tony, shit. "We clear on the money shit?""Clear." She nodded her head once for emphasis."And the marriage deal?""Working on it, still not sure I want to spend the rest of my life dealing with your brand of insanity." "My...fuckingpainintheassnutjob." I mumbled under

I didn't spend too much time on Taylor, I just had one question for him and that was what info he'd sold to the Staccos. Now with father and son gone that organization would be overrun by the violence of underlings trying to be top dog, unless I moved in and dismantled the shit, which is what I planned on doing anyway. The next few months were going to be hell with me trying to clean shit up in my backyard. I'll have the cops and the fucking criminals breathing down my neck, if I could get some of the others on board to go legit things might be easier. A few of the old timers were already on board, but there were still a few more who didn't see the benefit. I'll make sure and show them the error of their ways. I'm going to make this city safe for my son or daughter if it fucking kills me. By the time Taylor's carcass was being nibbled on by fish in the deep, I was on my way to deal with Ricci. My phone went off alerting me to a call from Tommy, my heart wen

"Arianna get over here now." She came from the living room where the women had congregated."You bellowed your crankiness?" I pulled her into the room and slammed the door shut. "You're not going to Chicago.""What?" She glared at her father and uncle. "Don't look at them look at me, tell me you understand what I just said, you are not going to Chicago, no way no how.""It's only for a short while.""No." "Shane..." I cut her off with a hand around her throat."Mouth do not fuck with me on this, you only think you've seen me pissed, push me on this and live to regret it." Mikey and Tony came to flank me, but funnily enough her father and uncle did nothing; not that I'd really hurt her but I did have my hand wrapped around her throat about to throttle her. "Shane maybe you should...""Stay out of it Anthony she wants to pull the tiger's tail, let her see what happens.""Son it's only for a short time, she has some unfinished business. There's st

"Boss, um, yeah, but she's yours.""So you handle her with care in all things. If the situation warrants it I give you permission to use force." I got an elbow to the gut as Mouth finally caught on to who the two new men in the room were. The twins were anything but, Zane was a six foot four African American and Alec was a six foot six Native American. They got their nickname because of the way they moved together, like fucking magnets. It was from their days in the SEALs together. "Arianna meet your two new best friends.""I think I liked it better when you called me Mouth, every time you call me Arianna it's followed by bad news. No offense boys." She smirked at the two men who were sizing her up. Probably wondering how someone so tiny could've pulled off all the shit they'd heard about. They'll learn. *** ARIANNA *** I heard the big boss man giving out his orders. He didn't know I was listening, sniggers. What he doesn't know won'
