บททั้งหมดของ In Bed with the Mafia: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Anna“How well do you actually know Aiden?” His eyes were trained on me, like a predator waiting for the slightest slip up to pounce. He shifted in his chair, as a confident look flashed across his face.“Hold his gaze, don't flinch. Hold his gaze, don't flinch,” I repeated in my head. I needed to act as naturally as possible. He didn't know about Aiden and I, did he?“I'll have to go on a date with him too. Until then I do not get to say I know him,” I quipped.He didn't take his gaze off me as he leaned back in his chair with a puzzled look on his face. “I was looking at you when Aiden came in the other day. At first it was just innocent admiration; but I noticed the shock on your face when you saw him. I notice slight little details like that. I wouldn't be the boss if I didn't.”I had thought I hid my reaction well enough, but it appeared that I didn't. But he couldn't be sure I knew Aiden, he was only fishing for information—information that, even I, would rather not remember. I

Anna:Unforgiving. Sinful. Intense. Hot. Soft—satisfying. A flurry of words slammed hard into my mind as Aiden smashed his lips into mine without remorse. I was giddy and my brain ceased to function. My hands slid from a pushing motion to fisting his shirt. I had gone on a date with his brother and this wasn't how I planned the night would end—definitely not with me pinned to the door and unwilling to push my fiance's brother away.He peeled his lips away from mine, leaving me gasping for the same breath he had intentionally taken away. He gazed at me, icy blue eyes probing mine—seeking. For what? A sign that said I wanted his cock deep inside of me, while I brought down the roof with my loud moans. Why the fuck did he stop? Did he want me to grovel at his feet, pleading for him to fuck me with tears in my eyes?“You'll never be able to love him, Anna. I won't let you,” he rasped, burying his face into my hair and taking a deep inhale. “I won't allow it.”He wet my neck with kisses an

Aiden: The Present. I sprung up, covered in sweat. My heart thudded violently like the beating of war drums. I swung out of bed and walked into the bathroom to wash my face. Lillian's words kept ringing in my head. It was a constant reminder that my life didn't belong to me. I sucked my teeth. It was stupid of me to ever think that I could have a life of my own. It was stupid of me to think I could ever live a better life. I was a monster, only good for destruction. But then there was Anna. Memories of the other night flashed through my mind. Fucking Gabriel's fiancee had to be top on the list of the most stupid things I had ever done. A knock on my door interrupted my thoughts. “Come in,” I shouted from the bathroom. I dabbed my face with water one more time and picked up the towel to dry my hair and face. I walked back to the room to see Eva, one of our maids standing in the room. She and her mother were one of our oldest maids. She literally grew up with me and to me, she was

Anna's POV“Shit, shit,” I cursed under my breath as I watched Liam slip out of consciousness. His skin had turned pale from losing too much blood. “Come on, stay with me,” I whispered.He let out a soft groan, as if to stubbornly tell me he was okay. I sucked my teeth, he had taken a bullet for me. I never would have imagined that scene playing out—but it had. I might have died if he hadn't. I stepped on the acceleration. Liam's body jerked forward. Good thing he used the seatbelt.I looked through the side mirror for any car that might be following us. None. Liam was fairly certain that it wasn't the Martinez’, the only other person that could have dared to attack us was Marcus. But to risk a war, he had definitely gone senile. Father would have never been that reckless. I returned my gaze to the road.The images of the dead guard I ran into flashed across my mind. His death was slow and painful. He was stabbed in the neck and choked on his own blood. His hand remained glued to his

AidenI sat in my car, looking at the building that loomed before me. It was fairly obscured behind trees. The house looked like it hadn't been inhabited in years. That was the point, easy to miss equaled great for hiding. It was the safe house that had housed Anna, and it was my second time here in the last three days—since the attack on Anna and her brother. I drew on my cigarette one last time and quenched its flames, throwing what was left of it out the window. Some fucker had made an attempt on Anna's life. The mere thought of it made my blood boil over. I couldn't phantom the idea of her dead. I could still remember the look in her eyes that night when she had a panic attack. I wanted to hold her and tell her it would be alright and that I was going to get the fucker who did this, but Gabriel…I sucked my teeth.I needed to locate whoever was responsible before they got confident enough to attack again. I stepped out of the car. The house was near-empty now, except for the few g
