9HadesThe men opened the steel doors, and I stepped inside to the main floor of the operations building, hidden in plain sight in Florence. From the outside, it looked like an abandoned museum that was in such decay that it needed to be torn down. Inside was where we cooked our crystal, prepared it for shipment, and then distributed it by carriers on the ground or vehicles that drove it up north.In the center of the room was one of my cooks.He was dead.A deep mark was around his throat where the noose had been tied, and his face was blue because he’d died of suffocation. His body was rigid since he’d been hanging by the rope for several hours after he was gone.At least he hadn’t been tortured.Damien stood next to the body, his arms over his chest. “Found him hanging from the main bell of the cathedral this morning.”I already knew who was responsible.Damien lifted his gaze and looked at me. “He’s one of our best cooks. Now production will be halted.” He waited for me to stay s

Unfortunately, if I ever wanted there to be a chance to keep her, I had to be straight with her. I couldn’t develop her trust with a lie. I couldn’t let her think I was someone else…and have feelings for that man instead of me. “Come over for dinner tonight.”If this had been a couple weeks ago, she would have thrown a tantrum on the spot. But our intimacy had deepened, and so did her affection. She still insisted this was a short-term thing, but I was slowly getting her to see me in a different light, to give me a chance to be more than just a fuck buddy. When she smiled, I knew she was about to give me the answer I wanted to hear. “Sure.”There were several dining tables in the house, but this one had the best view of the city. The top was a long piece of rustic mahogany, big enough to fit twelve grown men. I didn’t have meetings at my house often, but I needed something to take up the luxurious space.Sofia wasn’t the kind of woman to talk too much. She didn’t need to ramble on to

Nails cut into my skin as they dragged down my back. Digging deep and leaving scratches behind, they were aggressive…carnal. This woman was white-hot for me, whispering the dirtiest things into my ear. “Yes…fuck me.”I had her pinned underneath me, her tits pressing against my chest as we thrust together. We were both covered in sweat, soiling the sheets with our bodies. I trailed my tongue up her neck so I could taste her saltiness, taste her exertion.Her fingers dug into my hair, and she moaned.This woman had been frozen at the dinner table, but now she was a supernova. How could she go from one extreme to the next? How could she feel something then nothing at all? How could I become obsessed with a woman who didn’t give a damn about me?She came around my dick, her eyes looking into mine as she put on a brilliant performance. She arched her back and screamed, my name echoing off the high ceilings of my bedroom.After a few more pumps, I came inside her, groaning as my body bucked

“Hades, you never give up on anything. You always get what you want. Why is she any different?”“Because I’ve never been in this situation before. Women don’t mean a damn thing to me. But the one woman I actually want won’t give me the time of day. She just wants my dick—nothing else.”“Then make her want everything else.”I had no idea how to do that.“Hades, she’ll get sucked in so deep, she won’t be able to walk away. You have so much power, you could make her never walk away.”I didn’t want to force her. I’d never abused my power in that regard, and I wouldn’t start now. “No…that’s not how I want this to be.”“Then keep trying until she changes her mind. She will change her mind.”He had a lot more faith in my abilities than I realized.“She’ll come around…I know she will.”10SofiaI sat in Gustavo’s office and listened to him drop a bomb on me. Everything I believed about my family and its legacy were lies. The Tuscan Rose wasn’t a quaint hotel where guests made amazing memories

Because I wasn’t ready to let him go.I’d finally found exactly what I was looking for, an intense relationship with a man without commitment, something that didn’t require a single thought. It was just good sex with a deep connection, something so combustive that I could hardly think about him without my neck getting warm.I knew there was only one Hades Lombardi in the world, only one man who could fuck like that, could be so damn gorgeous. Once he was gone, it was over. Sex would be mediocre. There would be nothing to look forward to.Because no man would ever compare.I sat in the living room with the TV on, an empty bottle of wine on the table. I’d been drinking all night, my thoughts becoming blurrier with every single glass. I tried to process my emotions, tried to process the reality of my life. Everything I believed in was a lie.It would take more than a bottle of wine to process that.My family’s legacy was intertwined with criminality. And the man I was sleeping with was a

“I don’t do business with those kinds of men. I don’t do business with men who do business with those kinds of men.” He held my gaze, seeming genuine all the way down to his core. “I kill those kinds of men. Selling drugs or some other product is one thing. But selling a human being is disgusting—especially kids.”His speech shouldn’t soften me, but it did. He couldn’t be that evil if he actually meant that.“I’ve been at war with the Skull Kings for a long time because they practice that bullshit. They stopped a few years ago, and while tensions are still high, I’m not as inclined to fire first…unless they get in my way.”“Who are the Skull Kings?”“Doesn’t matter,” he said quickly. “My point is, I’m not a good man…but I’m not evil. When I’ve paid for sex, it’s always with a free woman.”“You’ve paid for sex?” I blurted. “You’re gorgeous. Why would you have to pay for it? That’s gross.”His eyes narrowed slightly at the insult, but he didn’t strike back. “It’s just easier sometimes.

I didn’t want to make a scene in public, so I let her win—this time.We went to my favorite local place and shared a bottle of wine.Actually, I hogged it while she had a couple of sips.Our food arrived at our table, and we still hadn’t said a word to each other.Mother picked up her fork and stirred her pasta around. “I’ve given you ten minutes to say your piece. Since you haven’t spoken a word, I’ll talk now.”I stared at her food.“When your father opened his hotels, he didn’t have a lot of money. He needed investors, which is where the board comes from. But even then, it wasn’t enough. That was how he began offering special services to special characters.”“And that’s never bothered you?”“No. When I looked at your father, I saw an ambitious man who would do anything to make his dreams come true. I never loved him, but I considered myself very lucky that I got to marry someone with that kind of success.”“You married him for money.”“No,” she said with a laugh. “Power. That’s why

HadesTuscan Rose was hosting a formal dinner for all the local businesses in the area, notably those who contributed to the hotel in some way. Running an establishment like that created lots of relationships, some better than others.Damien and I were attending. I wasn’t sure if Sofia was. She was upset with her mother and stepfather for their approach to running the hotel, and since she was a sassy little thing, her attitude wouldn’t die out easily.“She gonna be there?” Damien asked as he drove the Ferrari down the narrow streets.“Don’t know.”“You didn’t ask?”“I assume she’s not. Probably would have mentioned it if she were.”“And you didn’t mention it to her?” he asked in surprise.“It’s a sore subject…”He turned down the street then approached the valet in front of the hotel. “You think there will be pussy at this thing?”“There’s pussy everywhere, Damien.”“Then maybe we should have driven separately.”“I can get myself home if you’re so lucky.” The valet took the car, and w

SofiaMother walked beside me, a drink in her hand. “So, why didn’t you bring that man you’re seeing?”“Because we aren’t serious.”“You’ve been sleeping with him for a long time. Seems serious.”I stopped in my tracks and looked at her. “I like it better when you’re my mother, not my friend.”She brushed off the insult by stirring her olive in her glass. “I’m just looking out for you.”“How is asking about my sex life looking out for me?”“Because Hades Lombardi seems smitten with you.”Of course he does…because he didn’t even bother hiding it. He eye-fucked me right in front of my mother like he didn’t give a damn. “He’s not my type.”“Really?” she asked. “Because Gustavo says he’s made quite a name for himself. He’s self-made. Started his own bank in his twenties. That’s impressive. Not to mention, he’s tall, extremely handsome, polite.”That man was definitely not polite. “I’m not interested.”“Then are you sleeping with a woman?” She grabbed my arm and pivoted my body so I would

My fingers got his slacks open, and I pushed them down over his hips slightly, getting his cock free.Then I lifted up my dress and got down on my knees.His eyes narrowed in surprise as he looked down at me, his fat cock exposed to the cold air. His body tightened as his hand moved into my hair again, and he guided my mouth to his length.Once I pushed my throat over his hard dick, he moaned like it was the first time he’d had a wet mouth around his cock. “Jesus…”I opened my mouth as wide as I could and lifted my gaze to meet his. Then I sucked his dick hard and fast, proving I wasn’t the least bit scared either. He had a big dick, so he took up my entire throat with his girth. It made it hard to breathe, impossible to swallow, and my eyes stung with tears.He thrust his hips and dug deep inside me, pushing that fat cock as far as he could go because he knew I could handle it. His hand wrapped around my hair like a lasso, getting a controlling grip that kept me in place.Not that I
