The Mafia's Songbird Chapter 69: Spoiled
The glorious scent of waffles and coffee tickled Callie’s nose and senses awake. She opened her eyes to the soft morning light filtering in from the half-opened curtains.“Vin?” she called out softly when she couldn’t feel him beside her in bed.“Ah, you’re awake,” he replied. “How are you feeling?”Unsettled by Vin’s attentiveness, Callie shook her head, willing her memories to surface.“I feel fine, kind of fuzzy,” she giggled. “What happened last night? I don’t remember coming into bed.”The admission painted her cheeks crimson. She remembered taking a shower and Vin joining her shortly after, but she woke up in bed in only a robe, her hair still slightly damp.Vin crossed the distance between them, setting the tray of food on the bedside table. Sitting on the bed, he brushed a lock of Callie’s hair behind her ear with a gentle smile.“Well, I think it was by the third round when your knees gave out, and I had to carry you back to bed,” the crime lord replied, biting his lower lip
The Mafia's Songbird Chapter 70: I Will Be There
“Vin, you have got to be kidding me.”Soft chuckles passed her fingertips that she had brought up to her lips. Callie looked on in awe of the theater, of the stage, and their view from the private box that Vin had rented for them.“Whatever do you mean?” he replied, a coy smile nothing short of scheming graced his lips. “I rented a box for us so that you may see the performance with the best view. Don’t you agree?”She hummed as she nodded her head in agreement, brushing her fingertips over the soft velvet of the chairs.“You’re very much like the phantom in The Phantom of the Opera.” She sat down, craning her neck to gaze up at Vin, who took a seat beside her.“Hmm, maybe I took a move out of his playbook,” he replied. “I told you, I’ve done my research.”“So, you have.”Before long, the chatters inside the theater died down, and the lights dimmed. And when the curtains rose, Callie was fully immersed in the show.It ran for nearly two hours. Two hours of being on the edge of her sea
The Mafia's Songbird Chapter 71: Invitation
It had been a week since they saw their first musical play together, and Callie could not be more satisfied. Their hotel suite was booked until Vin decided otherwise, and it left them plenty of options to go about their time.After thoroughly enjoying their first show, Vin booked tickets for another play which Callie greatly appreciated and thanked him for.It was a simple matter to Vin. To drive either short or long distances, to spend hundreds of dollars on tickets, or to pay for a ridiculously expensive hotel room, was nothing. Nothing compared to the way Callie’s face lit up every time he surprised her with a gift.“What do you want to do today?” he asked Callie as they lay on the king-sized bed, a tangle of limbs.Callie hummed, feeling her stomach growling subtly at the mention of any activity.“Is this what a honeymoon feels like?” she thought to herself.Basking in each other’s presence, being grateful that the other existed, and feeling loved. She could want for nothing more.
The Mafia's Songbird Chapter 72: Ours
Vin’s car hummed to a stop as he pulled up to the valet parking at one of the grandest hotels Callie had ever seen in her life.The venue for tonight’s dinner was a ballroom, with a whimsical theme to celebrate the couple’s youthful love despite the hardships through the years. Soft lights bled out of the open doorway, giving them a hint of what to expect inside.“Are you sure you want to go inside now? It’s not too late to turn back and head up to our room,” asked Vin as his hand slipped from the gear shift to reach for Callie. His fingers sank into the soft material of the Selkie long gown that Callie wore until he could feel the softness of her thigh. “If you know what I mean.”And she did know what he meant, but as tempting as staying in and letting Vin ravish her was, Callie wanted to leave a good first impression with Vin’s parents.His whole family already thought she was a whore, she didn’t need to solidify those beliefs by fucking around with their son in a hotel room that th
The Mafia's Songbird Chapter 73: Disrespect
Though unexpected, Callie blended well with the company of women. Unlike her first soiree with the Baroses, this group of women, led by Millicent, made Callie feel welcome; included, almost as if she were a part of the family.Although Wyatt and Millie weren’t part of the Baroses, they carried themselves with the same air as those in the mafia, the only difference was, they were friendly and Callie felt easy around this group.“I have to admit, I never imagined Vin settling down. Not in this lifetime that is,” someone commented while the rest of the group giggled behind poised fingers.That was another thing that she learned from being in their company. As pleasant as they were to be around, Callie caught on early that some were also masters at hiding their true intentions. Older women usually were.“Look at him, he’s smitten!”The comment urged Callie to twist her neck toward Vin’s direction. She caught his eye immediately, and the blush crept up her neck before she could even proces
The Mafia's Songbird Chapter 74: Passing Down
“I understand, thank you.”Vin could not help the slight tremble in his voice as he spoke to one of his nephew’s caretakers.The crime lord made certain that the boy would want for nothing. He paid the board handsomely to ensure that his nephew’s accommodations would be nothing short of what royalty would enjoy, but it seems it was not enough.“Bullying, huh?” he muttered to himself as he dialed the school to confirm the reports and schedule a visit as soon as possible. “This is all my fault.”Quite frankly, he hadn’t expected things to have escalated this far. While most of the bullying was about the boy being an orphan, the reports revealed that Vin’s absence played a big role as well.There was no one there for his nephew. He lived with a nanny who took care of him, but there was no one to attend parent-teacher meetings, no one to drop him off or pick him up from school, and no one to play with. The boy was almost completely alone.But wasn’t that what he wanted? Vin wanted the boy
The Mafia's Songbird Chapter 75: Infinity
It was in the wee hours of the morning when Callie and Vin finally made it back to their hotel room. It was a surprise to both of them, however, that Callie would end up being carried on Vin’s back at the end of the night.“You didn’t have to carry me all the way back,” Callie grumbled under her breath, wrapping her arms tighter around Vin’s neck.“I couldn’t take your complaining anymore,” Vin replied teasingly, chuckling at the cute noises Callie was making. He could only imagine how adorable she looked with her expression of outrage.“I was not!” She hit Vin lightly on his back with a small fist, giggling as he also shook with laughter. Their door beeped closed but Vin still didn’t set Callie down. “Besides, it was your idea to take the long way back to the hotel.”“You agreed,” he teased.“I didn’t know it would take us an hour to walk!” she whined. “And my feet started to hurt.”Vin chuckled, imagining what Callie must look like whining, with a cute pout on her lips.“You can sto

“Satisfied?”Callie merely hummed in response to Vin’s question. She was lounging on one of the sunbeds, eyes closed, and energy drained, while Vin enjoyed swimming in the pool. She didn’t need to open her eyes to know how smug Vin looked right now.He made her come three times before finally releasing her. If you asked her, she deserved to take a nap.“What time is it?” she absentmindedly asked when she felt her stomach grumble.“I’m assuming it’s past lunchtime,” came Vin’s reply. “Why don’t you get dressed, we’ll have our meal at the hotel restaurant.”Finally opening her eyes, lips downturned into a cute pout, Callie glanced over at Vin who was toweling himself dry.“You’re not coming?”Vin had to bite his lip to stop himself from smiling too wide. He didn’t know exactly when it started but Callie was being more and more clingy and like a simp, he loved every single moment of it. It felt nice to know he wasn’t the only one who wanted to be around her all the time.He clicked his t
