“Charlie didn’t,” Luciano says, his eyes turning dark with desire. “You have five seconds to get your ass to your room.”
I linger in the foyer, pushing him, daring him to proceed with his threat. He lunges for me, but I’m getting quicker, thanks to Carlo’straining. I dart behind Gabriele for protection and grab hold of his shirt, trying to angle him between Luciano and myself.
“He won’t save you, Principessa,” Luciano laughs darkly. “Should’ve hidden behind Carlo or Mattia.”
Gabriele stands frozen on the spot. “Luciano, get her to stop touching me,” he says. I quickly glance up at him and see that his whole body is tense, and he’s on the verge of having a panic attack. Shit. I quickly let go of him and take a step back.
“Gabe, are you okay?”
“He doesn’t like to be touched,” Luciano comments back. “Breathe, Gabriele,” he reminds him. I watch as Gabriele takes in deep breaths, slowly releasing the tension, and walks away.
I’m gobsmacked, looking between them questionably. How have I not picked up on that yet and why didn’t anyone warn me?
“It’s a sensory thing,” Mattia says with a shrug. He walks out the back door towards his house, leaving me alone in the foyer with Luciano.
“Now where were we?” Luciano says. When he turns to me, his eyes turn predatory. “Run, Principessa.” I quickly take off down the hall, Luciano’s heavy footsteps and laughter following close behind. Every step sends a rush of energy over me, egging me on to play his dangerous game.
Running into the dining room, I round the other side of the table and wait for him to enter. His grin disappears when he sees my hand behind my back. “Charlie…”
I untie my bikini top and let it fall to the ground. His eyes flick down to my tits as he starts to move around the table, but I move faster and manage to get out the door before he reaches me. I’m running back down the hall towards the back patio. Stopping just at the pool’sedge, I strip off my bikini bottoms and dive in naked, swimming under the waterfall and into the cave.
Climbing onto the ledge, I lean against the rock wall and spread my legs wide in anticipation. The falling water blocks my view from outside, but I hear the splash of someone jumping in.
Luciano’s head pops up in front of me seconds later, and the sight of me has him groaning. He wipes the water off his face as I wiggle my finger at him, beckoning him to come closer. We stay silent as he slowly stalks towards me. He grabs my legs roughly, spreading them wider as he bends down and bites my pussy repeatedly.
“Luciano,” I hiss, pulling at his hair. But he continues, and I can feel myself becoming more sensitive with each bite, the sensation overwhelming.
I reach down to rub my clit, but he grabs my wrists. “You will come when I allow it.”
Pulling me into the water, he wraps my arms and legs around him as he pushes me back into the side of the pool. His dick bops against my ass, hard and ready to be fucked. His lips find mine and my whole body feels on edge again as he grabs my ass cheeks, rubbing his hard length against me.
I start to move against him. “Please, Luciano,” I beg between his kisses. “Fuck me.”
But he lets out an evil chuckle. “Not tonight, Principessa.”

Luciano
Charlie has been living with us for nearly two months now. After the stunt she pulled in the meeting, I had to pull each of the Capo into my office and made them take an oath that they would not speak of who she was yet, otherwise punishment would be death. They all agreed, but I’m still wary of it leaking.
She has Mattia, and now Carlo wrapped around her little finger. Charlie and Mattia together are just trouble waiting to happen. She thinks I don’t know that they stole from the farm and got stoned the other week, or that they visited an adult shop when they went into town. Every day Rocco informs me of her movements—his way of trying to win my trust back enough to be a Capo again.
But her and Carlo surprise me. I didn’t see that one coming. Carlo is normally the last to crack. The only other woman I’ve ever seen him let in was Caterina, and when she left, I thought he was done. But slowly, week by week, Charlie has managed to succeed in breaking down his walls. I’ve even seen them laughing together.
Stefano still sees her as a big threat, constantly reminding me that messing around with her is a bad idea. But the more she indulges in our life, the harder it is to stay away. She has the same fire in her thatI do, and day by day she unleashes it more and challenges me in more ways than I can think.
And Gabriele… what can I say? He’s Gabriele, and he doesn’t really mind as long as we leave him alone to do his work.
Carlo walks into my office, breaking me away from my thoughts. “Don.”
“What?” He only calls me Don in private when he wants to talk serious business.
“What’s the plan with Nico?”
I shrug, leaning back in my chair. It’s not my decision. I kept him for Charlie so she could seek her revenge. “Ask Charlie.”
“I have. She visits him almost every day with me, but leaves within minutes.” He frowns, wringing his hands in front of himself in frustration. “She has the potential to kill someone, but doesn’t know where to start.”
