My breathing comes hard and fast.I need this as much as he does.A mind-blowing release of pent-up energy and worry.We need no buildup because we’re both already there.Hot and ready for each other.My blood thrums through my veins.“Massimo, I need you so much.”
He growls, sliding my jeans down just far enough for him to bend my legs up, folding me in half on the table before plowing into my hot white heat.He sinks deep, right to the very end of me, pushing my shirt and bra up as he does, stroking my nipple with a firm grasp, rolling it between two fingers as he plunges in and out of my heat.
The pleasure builds like a tsunami.I don’t even hear someone walk into the room, only the way he growls for them to get out as he plunges over and over again, deeper and deeper, causing tidal waves of heat to rise and fall in my lower belly and down to my core.I’ve lost all control, there’s no stopping my orgasm, but he already knows.“Come with me, kitten,” he growls, as wave after wave washes over me as rope after rope of hot seed spill deep inside of me.He lays his forehead against mine, holding me so close that I can feel his heart beating against mine.
We both are slow to catch our breath and come down from the high of an overpowering desire that never ceases to overwhelm me with its magnitude.
“Distracted?”I ask coyly, looking up at him before he kisses my lips, pushing an errant piece of hair gently behind my ear.
“You are the best distraction in the fucking world,” Massimo says, raising me from the table and carrying me half bare-assed naked to the bathroom around the corner.I gesture with a tilt of my head to the door.“Who walked in on us?”
He strokes a finger down my cheek.“Elsie.”
I grin.“Her I can deal with.I would have died of embarrassment if it were anyone else.”
His eyes meet mine as he runs warm water and washes between my legs with the soft cashmere washcloth.“This is the best distraction in the world, kitten.Nothing else could have eased my mind waiting for a meeting like this.”I slide my pants on and kiss his lips and then let him get washed up knowing time is ticking and he’s going to need to leave very soon.
My chest tightens with angst knowing danger is everywhere outside this estate door and he plans to walk right into it with no thought of standing down at all.Massimo is going to annihilate anything and anyone standing in the way of finding his mom and I don’t blame him a bit.
When he’s done, he’s quiet and guides me from the bathroom back to the dining room.“You’ll stay here and safe for me, kitten.”It’s not a question, but more of an order not to be ignored.
My heart constricts with love for Massimo, yet he wants me by his side, but only while I’m in the house under the protection of the family.Just like my father, he’ll make me sit and wait like the good little wife, and meanwhile I’ll worry myself into an early fucking grave.
His dark eyes meet mine and I see the worry that he only allows me to see.“The helicopter’s just getting into the air.Keep trying to reach your sister.I’ll call you from the air.Make sure to answer your phone or I’ll have to think of something deliciously wicked to punish you later.”
He’s trying to keep the situation light for me, but I know what is going to happen tonight.All out fucking war is about ready to occur.This is no time for the conversation about where I see myself helping in the family.Right now, he needs to go and to do it fast.All I care about is making sure he gets home to me alive.
He gets dressed and adds another Glock to the back waistband of his pants.“When you get in contact with your sister, text me.Any fucking way you can find her or any information that will help.Find out what she knows, if she’s heard Barcelo talk about any out of the way places that he may be hiding anyone, okay?”He tilts my chin.“You’ll do that for me, kitten?”
I’ll do anything for that man.“Anything.Go, I’ll stay here and keep trying my sister.Do not put yourself in harm’s way, Massimo.I hope you find your mother fast.”I reach on my tippy toes, holding his face between my hands.“I love you.Come back to me fast.”
Massimo holds me close and kisses my lips with more tenderness than I’ve ever felt.“I love you more than the fucking air I breathe, kitten.Nothing is going to keep me from finding my way back to you.”
My chest tightens as I watch him walk away, knowing the danger that he faces and now I know exactly how my mother felt every single time someone she loved walked out that door.And in this very moment, I just don’t know if I’m going to be strong enough to withstand what she must have gone through every single time the love of her life walked out that fucking door.

Massimo
I’ve walked through more battles than I can count, my father insisting that me and my brothers learn about family life from a very young age.I’ve never once had second thoughts, regrets or any emotion at all leaving to head into war, but the look on Sophia’s face, it’s not something I’m going to forget for a long time, if ever.
The fact that I can’t be in two places at once, finding the fuckers who took my mother and home keeping Sophia safe, it gnaws at my insides like nothing else ever has before.
Carnal Sin’s parking lot is crowded when I arrive at the club.Jimmy pulls up to the door to drop me off before driving off to the back to park.The sensual beat of the music has a large crowd moving to its rhythm out on the dance floor, while other couples who just want privacy pet each other in shadowed corners of the club as I weave myself among the tables and make my way to the stairs.
When I get to the lower level, all my brothers are already there.By the time I’ve explained why we’re all here and what I plan to do, Jimmy joins us.But this meeting doesn’t include any of our other capos, or lieutenants or even my father, at least until I know for damn certain that all the leaks are plugged and I’m not convinced that they are.Not by a long fucking shot.
Renato and Tristano talk amongst themselves, heated with emotion while Gino doesn’t give his emotions away, but his eyes are as dark as night, filled with the same fire that fills my soul with the need for revenge against the people who took our mother.It’s up to me to keep them calm, focused on the night and what we have to do and not on revenge.
Retribution for what our enemies have done, that will come later.Right now, we have one job to focus on.“Let’s get right to it.We’ve got a big night ahead of us, guys, and I want to bring everyone up to speed at the same time.“I know my text was alarming and it’s hard for me to think about Mom out there in the hands of the enemies too.But we’re going to get her back or the Rosellis will burn this fucking city down trying.”
Gino’s jaw tightens so hard he may leave here with a cracked tooth trying to keep his emotions bottled up.The younger brothers watch me and the others, quiet now, taking it all in while I observe their reactions as well.“Tensions are high, everyone is mad as fuck and scared for Mother.And the need for revenge.I’m going to say something that may not be too popular.We will get our revenge, but it may not be tonight.Mom comes first, in every order that I give tonight, it will be to ensure we bring her home safely first, then we focus on burying the fuckers who took her into the ground, capisce?”
One by one each brother gives a respectful nod.“The Rosellis will have our revenge, but right now, we play smart, we build global allies along the way, and we will come out on top.I’ve already spoken with Carlos Larussio, he and Salvatore already have choppers in the air heading this way ready to help us search.This will be twice we’ve asked for his help, so favors will be due.When they come calling our answer is yes, we’ll repay this favor no matter the request.”
Again, all of them nod.They may have mixed emotions about cozying up with Carlos Larussio and Vincenzo DeLuca but they stand by my side.They know the score, and when Carlos, Vincenzo or Salvatore come knocking, every one of us know we’ll be answering that fucking door.
I clear my throat.“Each of you will take your orders from Leandro and Jimmy tonight.The only two who will give you an order of any kind unless of course it’s me.Someone else tries to give you an order, you assume they’re the enemy and things went off the rails.You call me, Leandro or Jimmy immediately am I clear?We have rats swimming in our midst.Stay vigilant and keep your eyes and ears out for anything that could lead us to who they are.”
