ROSALINE I tried my best not to scamper off to the ladies' room and hide. Dom was out of sight, and so were Adonis and Bella. Julian had promised to stay with me, but he had gone off with Dom as well. This was bad. I could feel someone walking toward me. I was certain it was Terenzio. Through my peripheral vision, I could not see much, but that weighty walk did not belong to any of the men I was utterly comfortable with. “Excuse me,” came a gravelly voice, and I straightened. Oh, fuck! I twisted my head gracefully to look at the figure. It was indeed De Vitto, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips and his gaze strangely soft on me. “I saw you standing here all alone and thought of giving you some company.” I faked a smile. “How thoughtful of you.” I hoped that that did not sound like a mock. He extended a hand toward me, and I accepted. “Terenzio De Vitto.” “Rosaline Guerra.” Up this close, he looked much like every other Made-man with his tall height and muscles, bu
LUCIANO “Let’s start with all the things I wouldn’t have done to you, shall we?” I said, before pulling her into the washroom. I was determined to meet her today, ask her why she had not told me who she was or if she had taken me for a fool, which I was, given the way I had been so worked up about
I pulled back and met her gaze, both our chests heaving because of breathlessness. Lowering my head, I whispered, “I believe getting the dress dirty would be a problem.” She released a shaky breath and nodded. “Then we better get you out of it, shall we?” She did not wait for me to do anything and

With our lips still in contact, he held my waist in a bruising hold and edged me toward him. Snaking my legs around him, I hugged his shoulders to keep me against his muscular body, so that I could feel every flex of his muscles and chest. He reached between us and rubbed the tip of his erection ov
“That’d be excellent,” she rejoiced. I turned back to Bella, who was right across from me, looking at me as if she had caught a lie. She was excellent at reading people, which was only going to be a problem for me. Avoiding her gaze, I looked at Alessia. A few weeks ago, if anyone had asked me to
LUCIANO I sat on the couch beside Pietro and took the tumbler of scotch from his hands. He had not said a word since I had entered his penthouse, which was unusual. It had to be because of the quarrel we had had the other day. “Is there something I should know?” He shook his head, making me frown
“We already have enough sea and air trades, if that’s what you’re suggesting.” “No, it’s not that,” he clarified. “I was thinking about focusing more on our road trade since that is the problem. Every other alternative is covered.” Receiving a hum of approval from me, he continued, “The Bandidos bi
