She had to steady her breath so she wouldn't slump down from a sudden heart attack. The shock was an understatement when she saw him right in the center of the room, looking at them with a twisted smile crawling on his lips, but he wasn't moving close.But those eyes were swallowing her, sucking her into their depths, and promising to drown her in their darkness."How..." She could only stutter.He raised his brow. "You mean how I got here before you?" or "Or how is one mode of transportation faster than the other?"Maya pulled back."No Maya," he shook his head, pointing the gun at Derinem. She looked at where he aimed and gulped air; Derinem wasn't going to survive a gunshot to the head.no matter how lucky he was."You move one step, and this won't take a sec," he looked at Derinem, who looked up to the ceiling, then to the side of the room...Damon laughed, "No, brother, don't think about that too; I might just forget the plan about keeping the bitch alive."Derinem pulled his hai
THREE MONTHS LATER.He watched her laugh, tilting her head back, her brown hair dancing to the wind.She had her palms placed on his chest, loving the feel of his body against hers, and hands wrapped around her waist, holding her still so she didn't get pushed by the waves."I can't swim if you keep holding me like this, you know?" She smiled into his face. He dug his finger into his wet hair.He raised a brow at her, trying to keep the smile at bay while watching her. "Woman, I didn't snatch you out of Milo's bed, bribe Luca and Lina to watch the kids, and hide from my men because I want you to swim."She thumped him on his chest while frowning, "You big bully if I had known that's all you had in mind, I wouldn't have come."In response, he turned her around so her back was pressed against him. That opportunity presented itself to him, and he planted kisses on her neck, and she shivered. "Pfft," he scoffed, biting her soft skin and earning a slight moan. "Maybe if you don't do that

BOOK TITLE: BEING THE DON'S OBSESSIONSYPNOSIS;She felt his hand under her chin, and he asked in a voice that surprised her, No one told her the Devil of Rome was this mild..."What's your name? And are you lost?"******She wasn't supposed to be here, dining with the cartel's enemies, watching them have the time of their lives.She was with his family, and it reminded her of hers.He leaned to her side. "Do you need a break?"She shook her head. "No, I like it here."*****He glared down at her, green fires burning her down; this wasn't the same person who had kissed, embraced, and made love to her.Now he had nothing but hate and resentment.She gasped when he grabbed her arm, pulling her to himself."No Gia." Now this was the devil her father told her about: "I won't let you die so easily."******Gianna Venditti, the last daughter of the leader of the Cartel, had known nothing but love in all the nineteen years of her life, but not until she experienced betrayal, pushing her into
"You can't come, Gia, and that's final!"Gianna Venditti glared at the people who stood before her sick bed, giving her orders all because they were "older." There was a reason God didn't bestow on her superpowers; otherwise, they would all be history.She turned her face to the side so she didn't see them, instead taking in her beautiful room, which she could never get tired of being proud of because she had decorated it herself.The first thing anyone would notice is the cream-colored rugs, then the light pink curtains, not to mention the lovely couch she rarely uses for fear of it getting stained.Her eyes falling on the couch, she leered at him angrily, munching on the chocolates that Teresa, her maid, had gotten her."Don't put dirt on that couch, Aaron!" She leered at him, bristling the more when he instead placed his booth on top, daring her to do her worst. "Sei cos fastidioso!" —You're so annoying—Axel, her adopted brother but the closest to her in her small, loving family, n
She shifted further back into the truck to avoid being seen, even though they were not that close. The will to cry had disappeared, and in its place was her will to survive."Make the dead bodies unrecognizable; we have a gift for Zayne," Axel said again. She clutched her chest, her heart racing—how many more seconds did she have before Aaron came running back, reporting that she wasn't in her room anymore?She turned to her side, seeing a thick black leather bag. She covered herself with it, blending with the darkness, and laid as flat as she could, trying not to make a noise.She could hear their footsteps and voices before the truck door swung open, and something heavy was thrown in.Shutting her eyes and hoping, another was thrown in, and this time it landed on her body, knocking her off breath and composure. Still, they didn't notice, for they were already out, bringing in another occupied bag and throwing it right on her again.She heard the doors jam shut, and after some minute
He expected the slumping, and that told him that whoever she was, she either knew who he was or was just scared of Matteo shooting a gun close to her body."You know her?" Matteo was now pulling closer to him, his gun at his sides.Zayne shot him a look. "How the hell should I know her? Like we just fucking saw her here!""Calm down; I thought it was one of the girls you knew, Devil."He shook his head and turned back to the body. He bent down to her, the torch on her face, the tip of his fingers trailing from her cheeks to her chin. Even out in the cold, she still sweated profusely. Her auburn hair looked scattered, and there was blood matted to one side of her head, scratches on her face, and trails of blood on her pretty pink lips.He swallowed, his eyes trailing down her neck.She was beautiful—not more beautiful than the women he had been with, but there was something about her."Dude, this place is fucking hot; what the hell are you doing there watching her face?!" Matteo pulled
"The patient had taken a terrible fall, and looking at the bruises and slight fractures; she seemed to have rolled down a rocky hill, or in a house, down the stairs."Gia could only stare at the doctor's mouth, her white coat still on; she was the first person she had seen when she opened her eyes, and the second was the tall guy with the softest eyes she had ever seen.Even though his voice didn't match those eyes, Gia knew she'd have been calm with him if he hadn't shot at her.Not until she heard the doctor say..."Don Zayne seemed interested in her, a friend of his?" The man shook his head, his eyes still on her unfocused pupils, trying to take in the room she was in."The Devil of Rome wouldn't mind adding her to his collection, though." There was a small smile at the side of his lips.She would have been offended if her ears didn't ring from what he had just said, "DEVIL OF ROME!" No, it couldn't be,Or so she thought.Axel had sent her parents' bodies to the Mafia, and she had
