Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 20 : Crossroads
Eden's POVI shoot upright, my body aching in response, but not as terrible as my raw, dry mouth.The sight before me baffles me past feeling sick. I half expect to see my apartment walls or the hotel's cheap art above the tacky, monochromatic furniture. Instead, I see two sets of blue eyes in my old, dainty bedroom.Ryder sits up in his chair, eyes pinned on mine, the same as his brother's that watch me from the doorway of the bedroom, his posture stiff and uptight. I feel the pulse in my throat but swallow the feeling of wanting to puke."What happened?"Ryder speaks first, his voice light and airy in response, "You were at the club with Asher, and he took you upstairs when you got too drunk."Dante chimes in, less than kind in his tone, "We found you in his room, naked and drunk. We weren't going to leave you there with him. Even if you tell us you wanted to sleep with him, we weren't about to allow that to happen with you being so intoxicated and—""I didn't want t
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 21 : Lurking Dangers
Eden's POV"We can wait," Ryder hums, leaning over the counter of the diner, his eyes wide as they drape down my uniform dress. "I kind of like this place now."I snicker, patting him on the shoulder until he sits back on his barstool. "It's fine, guys. Go ahead without me. I can walk to the lounge when I clock out."Dante pouts but ultimately hands me a set of keys. "Here. Take this, okay? We will walk. I don't want you out at night walking through the city alone."I settle the keys in my possession and give them both a brief kiss before they head out. I linger after them for as long as they're within sight, pushing and shoving as they head out to the lounge where we've been going every night since the fight they had with Felix.It is obvious that they're unsettled by their father's warnings, but they do a good job of not showing it around me. My replacement for the next shift is late, but when she finally arrives, I throw aside my apron and rush out to the car.My driving
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 22 : Charismatic Criminals
Eden's POVThe logistics of fitting three people into a hospital bed is a nightmare. Thankfully, we figure it out on the day I'm supposed to be released. Dante lays beside me, my shoulders buried in his chest while he sits up, his brother Ryder laying sideways at the foot of the bed where he massages my ankles tenderly.I aim to sleep, but the nurses say my concussion from the attack isn't as bad as they originally thought. I know this means we will have to talk about what happened, who attacked me, and how, and maybe even delve into why I left the lounge in the first place.All of these topics haunt me. Dante brushes my hair back, catching my eyes in the dark room as I watch the TV with minimal interest."Come on, kitten. We need to talk about it at some point."Ryder rubs his thumb against the sole of my heel. My breath hitches in response. "Asher told us why you left the Lamont Lounge. You can talk to us about it, baby. We aren't upset with you.""And we're never going t
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 23 : It's Just Business, Baby
Eden's POVI don't mind being at the Golden family estate.Mason joins Carol and me at the breakfast table, his bare chest carved out in muscle while he rubs his tired, baggy eyes with a fist. Carol pours him a cup of coffee, but he doesn't seem too interested in it."Good morning, Eden," Mason grumbles lightly. "It's nice to see you back here.""Glad to be back," I reply. "Did the brothers tell you to find the guys who…"Even though my voice trails off, Mason answers with a knowing glare, "Yeah, I'm working on pulling the camera footage from the area where you were attacked. I'll have their names by the end of the week.""And their heads will come shortly after that," Dante mutters, walking into the kitchen with wet, freshly showered hair. "Good morning, everyone.""Morning," we all sputter out in our early, raw voices."Where's my favorite nephew?" Carol jokes.Dante pouts with his cup of coffee finding the seat beside me. I lean instinctively into his lap. "Ryder i
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 24 : Intruders
Eden's POVI turn over in bed, unable to sleep.All I've seen since Sal was shot earlier today is his face when he looked at me like he couldn't wait to kill me first. I can't comprehend such disdain; he didn't even know me!"Come on, kitten," Dante breathes, holding me to his chest. "Try to fall asleep. You need to rest."I shiver, his arms looped over my hips. Ryder brushes my cheek, his lips grazing the very tip of my nose. Neither of them has slept since we laid down a few hours ago, but they are waiting for me to give into it first. If that's the case, it's going to be a long night."I shouldn't have been there," I breathe. "It's my fault. I got upset when you were both working so much, but to actually be there—I was wrong. I'll never be upset about it again, I promise."Ryder exhales against my forehead, his lips permanently placed there. "It's not your fault. We knew Sal was going to be replaced, but when he threatened to kill us, it had to be done then. Vince is an
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 25 : Old Hits
Eden's POVI shoot up in bed, breathless and in a heavy sheen of sweat. Hands brush my back, and I scream, feeling the intruder grab at me, pull a gun, and flinch his finger against the trigger. I flinch hard, my head hitting right into Ryder's.He hisses a breath but still keeps his arms around me, Dante leaping out of bed and turning the nearest lamp on. I see them, and only them, coming to the embarrassing realization that it was only a nightmare.I bury my face in Ryder's chest and cry harder. "I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry—""Hey, it's okay, baby," Ryder mumbles against my scalp. "Relax. Did you have a bad dream?"I nod, a lump building in my throat.Dante finds my hand, squeezing it tenderly while he takes a seat beside me in bed. "It's okay, kitten. It's going to be alright. You're safe with us."I can't help but think of Sal, of the intruder, and of death being such a heavy presence in their lives.And my life now, too.Ryder's phone rings after a long, heavy pa
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 26 : Miles Away
Eden's POVRyder leaves bed first, surprisingly, and I snuggle into Dante's side for a few extra minutes of peaceful sleep. After our heated moment in the middle of the night, the last thing I want to do now is to go back to our terrifying reality.My life is worth three million dollars now.Seems like a lot, especially for a woman who was just an ordinary bank supervisor two months ago, but everything has shifted since then. I'm now a woman who turns over in bed when one of my bank-robbing lovers wakes up, hoping the other one is tired enough to stay with me.Dante disappoints me shortly after, though. He kisses my forehead and leaves bed next, my body curled up under the heavy blankets while my pajamas are in tattered scraps all over the floor.The bedroom door creaks open. Mason speaks softly into the room, "I've got the plane ready for you both to go. Are you sure you should go alone? Should I tell Felix about this?""He wants us to sell the flash drive, so we will," Da
Trapped Between the Mafia Brothers Chapter 27 : Croatian Adventure
Eden's POVOrange roofs, white rock buildings, and cliffside beaches.This life the Golden brothers live is so foreign to me, but I think I could get used to it. We're staying at a villa on the water, a little hut on the sand with wood plank boardwalk as it overlooks the seaside of Croatia.The weather is warm, the coffee is strong, the ocean is clear as crystal, and my favorite brothers spare no expense in fulfilling their promise to spoil me.Dante leaves early in the morning, and later that day, Ryder finds me in the pool, my arms resting on the ledge of the room that overlooks the sunrise on the cliffs. I've never even been outside of New York, let alone somewhere as gorgeous as here.Ryder slides a tray over and kneels down, meeting my lips in a brief, tender kiss. "Order room service for lunch, baby. I'm going to go meet Dante for a meeting. I think we will sell this thing off once and for all."Although thrilled with the idea of getting rid of this device, I still fe
