πππππ JAMES"Vanessa," I heard myself moan as I sped up, going as deep as possible, but still not taking my eyes off hers. "I want to come inside you. I need to make you mine in every way." It was the plea of a desperate man, trying my best to mark her, to claim her in every goddamn way possible. If I could tie her to me and never let go, I would. But this was the closest I'd ever get to owning her completely. A tear slipped down the side of her face, and she placed her palms on my cheeks, her gaze on mine. "Yes," she replied before pulling me down and pressing her mouth against mine. The warmth of her mouth, the heat of her body, and the slickness of her orgasm coating every inch of me were enough to send me to the motherfucking peak of the most intense release I had ever had in my entire goddamn life. For the first time, I knew what it felt like to be alive, to be connected to someone. With my cock as deep as it could go, I came inside herβhard. The severity, the strong
πππππ JAMESWhat the fuck? "No," Vanessa breathed out, her fear echoing in her voice. "What the fuck are you talking about, Morello?" I balled my fists, trying my best to remain calm. If I learned anything during my time in the force, it was that anger didn't help one fucking bit when you were on the receiving end of a gun. "She didn't tell you?" He raised his eyebrows in surprise. "She's mine, Detective. I claimed her four years ago when she spread her legs for me with a single snap of my fingers." Vanessa gasped, and tears started to stream down her face, her entire body shaking. "Please stop, Enzo." I stepped forward. "Take your hands off her, or I swear to God I will kill you." "Tsk, tsk, tsk. A cop shouldn't go around tossing threats freely. You could get into a lot of trouble for that." "And aiming a gun at someone's head? You can go to prison for that." He laughed maniacally. "Who, me? No. I assure you, Detective, I have every avenue covered when it comes
πππππππVANESSAEnzo pulled his hand from between my legs, but my body remained rigid. With a grin on his face, he brought his finger up to his nose, inhaling deeply. I fought to keep myself from gagging at the sight. "You will marry me, Vanessa. You will give me what I've always wanted, and that's you on your knees at my feetβ¦every goddamn day for the rest of your life." More chills wracked my body. I felt physically ill, and the need to vomit was almost uncontrollable. Maybe I should throw up. Maybe if I did I would wake up from this nightmare.With all the strength I had left in me, I grounded out, "I'll do no such thing, Enzo. There is no way in hell you can make me marry you." "Oh, I can." He pulled his phone from his jacket pocket, flipped over the screen, and held it in front of my face. When the video started playing, I gasped and placed my hand in front of my mouth. I had to swallow back the bile that was pushing up my throat as I watched the video he and h
πππππ JAMESI hunched over and placed my hands on my knees, trying to catch my breath. "Enzo. He took her." Daniel leaped forward and grabbed me by the collar, his eyes shooting fiery daggers right at my forehead. "Where the fuck is she?" "I told you. Enzo took her. That's why I'm here." "What do you mean, he took her?" I jerked his hands away from my collar. "Just what I said. We were in front of my apartment, and he appeared out of fucking nowhere, shoved her into the back of a car, and left." Daniel stepped back. "What was she doing with you in front of your apartment?" I kept my eyes on him, knowing all too well I was about to fucking throw myself to the wolves. Yeah, I went there. "She was with me." His dark eyebrows drew together. "Doing what?" Silence. The heaviest goddamn silence surrounded us, and the second Daniel realized my not replying was his answer, he dropped the longest string of f-bombs I'd heard in a while. "Goddammit!" He crouched with his
πππππππ VANESSAMy hand was on my burning cheek as I righted myself, biting back my tears. Enzo might hit me, but he would never break me. "Did you show me any respect the night you defiled my body?" He raised his eyebrows. "Defiled? Oh, my dear Vanessa, if I remember correctly, you loved everything I did to your body that night. Would you like me to show you the little homemade video again? How your face lit up when I gave you your very first orgasm with my cock buried inside that sweet little pussy of yours?" The wry, wolfish grin on his face made my stomach turn, and I realized it didn't matter what I said or did. I was stuck here, and there was no way Enzo was going to let me go. For years, the war between us and the Morellos had been raging, and I was now the ultimate weapon Enzo intended to use in destroying my familyβ¦my father. He knew I would never allow him to show that tape to anyone. It would kill my father to see images of his only daughter willingly being fuck
πππππJAMES"So, there is a thing between you and our little sister." Antonio wasn't asking. Under normal circumstances, I'd probably try to deny it, knowing I risked getting my balls cut off. But these weren't normal circumstances, and I cared more about Vanessa than keeping my balls attached to my body. Yeah, pussy-whipped did not even begin to cover it. "Listen, man," I started, not backing down an inch, "I know you have your rules and whatnot, but yeah, there is something between me and Vanessa, and I don't care if you approve or not. It's happening. And nothing, and I mean nothing, will stop me from finding her. Not you or your goddamn rules." Both brothers stared at me, not saying a word. For the first time in my career, my detective instincts failed me, because I had no fucking clue what to expect from them next. I glanced at Antonio. "And as your brother said earlier, let's find Vanessa first, then we can kill each other, okay?" No answer. "Good. Now that we u
πππππππVANESSAI gasped as my entire world crashed down around me. An hour? A fucking hour? He wiped a tear from my face with his thumb and placed his finger in his mouth, sucking off the moisture like he was relishing the taste of my pain. And then his eyes turned black, every contour of his face painted with lust and desire. "I'm starting to think I don't want to wait until we've said our vows before I claim you again." He grabbed my hand and forced it against his crotch, making me feel how hard he was. "Feel that? That's all you, little lamb. That's what you do to me, so maybe I should give it to you right now." I yanked my hand out of his. "Stay the fuck away from me." Enzo jerked forward and wrapped his hand around my throat, pushing me harder against the wall. "What did I say about you talking to me with respect?" I grabbed at his hand squeezing it around my neck. "Enzoβ" "Do you want to beg? Do you want to beg me not to touch you?" He leaned forward, his col
πππππ JAMESDaniel drove, speeding like a maniac. Antonio had been typing on his phone, glancing at it every five seconds. I'd been going out of my goddamn mind sitting in the back seat of Daniel's car, unable to do anything but wait for us to get wherever the hell we were going. After Daniel stormed out of the house and jumped into his car, he kept on talking about a beach house, and that since Enzo was one twisted motherfucker, it only made sense he would take her back to where it all began. The second he pulled into an unfamiliar driveway, I was out the door and running up the stairs. "James, wait!" Daniel called after me. "You can't just rush in there unprotected." I grabbed my gun and pulled it from the holster. "You thought I'd come here without a gun? I plan on killing this motherfuckerβ¦tonight." Antonio and Daniel raced up the stairs behind me, and I pushed down the door handle. Locked. Fuck. I scanned the house and spotted a window to the right. Without thinki
