Connie Mason Romance Novels Novels & Stories

25 March 1820 Rome, Italy Jacob was lounging on a chair and Mrs. Valentina Lombardi, the most sought after courtesan in Rome was sprawled on his lap, her lush body pressed to his as she tried to coax a reaction out of him. He knew all the other men watching him envied him. But for the life of him, he couldn't muster any enthusiasm for the act. Instead of finding her perfume enticing, he found it cloying. The smoke from the cigars made him feel suffocated.

I ask. “I told you we’d talk, didn’t I?” Brandon gulps his scotch straight and puts down the glass to pour another shot. “Okay?” “I suppose I didn’t introduce you properly,” he begins. “Carmelo and Constantine are my cousins, who are handling my mother and sister’s case. They know a few details about your connection with Annette.” So this talk is about Lucia. I drain my drink as well. “Yes, you had them look up things about me without my permission. And?”

She was already suspecting where the boss's eyes were set. When she left the institute she had mentioned at that moment to young Romero, she was pleasantly surprised when he was waiting for her at the door of her work, with a tempting book in his hand, called, "The Mask of America", a wonderful copy just right for a history teacher. She couldn't say no to his invitation to have a coffee, but before going, she made a crazy condition, which consisted in going downtown by public transportation, because if not, she wouldn't accept the outing; he agreed to that little adventure. It was very funny for her to see the elegant gentleman with the clumsiness of not knowing how to get on a bus, nor know

Carson gritted his teeth. "But she wanted to go, Carson, she said she wanted to go with him. There was nothing we could have done. Why didn't you tell me you were in love with her?" Zander rubbed his neck. "I was ashamed and heartbroken that she left me." "Then he went wild and started fucking every she-wolf he could get his paws on," Cleo joked. Cassandra Lennox... Shit! "Cassandra Romano, that's where I've heard that name. She is now married to Massimo. I ran into them ten years ago. They came to Britain on business and let's just say I had the best tasting chocolate in my life."

I could never see myself falling for a man like him. “Why so formal Mason?” The blonde revealed her perfect set of white teeth as she walked ahead to give Mason a tight hug. Mason reciprocated the hug and that made me know that these two weren't just anyone's. She even placed a kiss close to his lips and Mason didn't find it weird nor stopped her. But who was I kidding, he was a manwhore after all. If he could cheat on me while being married to me, I shouldn't be surprised if these two had history together.

Holden asked her as Roxie snapped out of her vision. “Uh, yes, Walker invited me.” “Wait—wasn’t he supposed to take Connie?” Connie was smitten with Walker even before Roxie arrived in Myrtle. The rumors were that she claimed he had to be her mate, but Walker was only an available lay—not a boyfriend. “Well, maybe he should take her then.” “Oh, I mean..I just thought..” Holden shrugged, “You can go with me.” “Huh? No, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

Connie said, firmer this time. But her voice wavered just a fraction. “Morning, bitches. What are we gossiping about?” Hori said as she wandered in frowning. “Nothing,” Connie said quickly. I smiled wider at Hori. “Just getting to know our resident matchmaker. Connie’s a pro at pairing people. Maybe she can help me and Roderigo climb the rankings.” Hori snorted. “Good luck. Kyrian and Connie are bottom two right now, but they’re cute together.”

It’s been too long since I’ve had a hug from my mother and father. I spent most of the morning packing my things while Enzo was getting everything ready for our flight. “Have you seen Connie?” Enzo asked, leaning against the door frame of my room. “She didn’t come home last night. I’m assuming she was with Tyler.” “She’s been with Tyler almost every night these past few weeks,” I said, a hint of a smile on my lips. “She’s smitten by him.” “Yeah, for someone who claimed she couldn’t be with an omega, she hasn’t left his side,” Enzo said, shaking his head but I saw the humor in his eyes.

Connie asked batting her brown eyes as she tucks a piece of her curly chocolate brown hair behind her ear. "No, thank you. I'm good." Jade said without making eye contact with her. "Oh come on. Just a teeny tiny drink?" Connie begged and my blood began to boil. Irritaion began to roll off of Jade and I decided to step in. "Connie, was it?" I ask. Connie flirtatiously nodded her head biting her bottom lip. "Well, Connie, Jade said 'no thank you'. Plus he also has a mate and it would be inappropriate."

Three years ago, there were vacations, beach pictures, birthday dinners, hiking trails. Someone appeared beside him over and over again. He was tall with brown hair and an easy smile. He was in dozens of photos. I clicked one. It was an image of the man kissing Adrian’s cheek as they sat on the beach. The caption underneath read: “Couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone else.” I blinked. That didn’t seem innocent. Or a platonic relationship. Anger welled in me the longer I stared at the image.
