Dominic tapped his fingers on his thighs impatiently. The freeway was busy and he wanted to get back to the penthouse. He had a lot to do. He pulled his phone from his jacket pocket and dialed Remy’s number.Dominic clenched his jaw as it rang and rang and eventually went over to voicemail. He closed his eyes briefly and gripped his phone in his hand. “Remy’s not answering his fucking phone. I swear he’s on his last warning with me.”Hudson chuckled from beside him and shook his head. “That kid’s still green, Dominic. Maybe I should just bend him over and show him how a real man does it.”Cooper and Ethan laughed loudly from the front as Austin shook his head. “Fuck, Hudson, you’d really fuck anything with a hole.”“Don’t be jealous, Austin, I’m man enough to admit that free sex is free sex, whichever hole it goes into,” Hudson said.“Please stop,” Dominic said as he closed his eyes.“I mean, if you just close your eyes and the fucker doesn’t say anything you can imagine whoever you w
“What the fuck happened in here?” Lev asked as they stood in Dominic’s bedroom looking down at Matthew Bianchi.“He killed Remy, the man I had on Rafaella. He raped her when she was a child and he came after her tonight. Someone must have told him that I took possession of her earlier today and he came to take her. She shot the fucking bastard,” Dominic said.“You look almost proud, Dominic,” Lev said with a grin. “She did way fucking more than just shoot him.”Dominic looked down at the horrific sight that was Matthew Bianchi. His eyes had been stabbed out and the knife was still in his chest. Dominic had no idea how many times she’d stabbed him in his heart but he knew that on a primal level, taking his eyes and heart was her way of avenging herself.“I’m glad to know she can handle herself but I’m sorry she had to do it though. I would’ve gladly killed this animal slowly.”“Someone will know he was here,” Lev said and dragged a hand through his hair.“True. But my man is dead and M
On Saturday morning, Inara ventured into the kitchen, still yawning and stopped short. Agron and his men were busy with breakfast and arguing about what Inara would prefer to eat and drink. She watched them for a while until Kadri cleared his throat and pointed in her direction.“What’s going on?” she asked them.They all had sheepish looks on their faces and she smiled with amusement. Granit was a big man, maybe even bigger than Austin and he was wearing a navy blue apron dusted with flour. Kadri was squeezing fresh oranges while Besnik was kneading dough and Dren was cutting up fruit. Agron seemed to be frying bacon.“We wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed,” Agron said and smiled at her.“Firstly, you didn’t have to go to all this trouble just for me and secondly, it is a nice surprise either way,” she said and sat down at the counter.“See, I told you she’d like it,” Granit said and wiped his hands on the apron.“What are you making? Is the dough for bread?” Inara asked as
Agron unzipped her dress and kissed the back of her neck softly. Inara turned and started unbuttoning his shirt. She knew it was going to happen. The moment he slid that ring on her finger, she’d known.Her hands traced the letters of her name tattooed over his heart and she looked up at him. “When did you do this?”“Friday morning,” he whispered as he pulled her dress down her arms.His hands trailed over her ribs and down her hips as he pushed the dress down to the floor. He took his shirt off slowly and Inara took in the elaborate tattoos that filled his right arm and one half of his chest.She moved closer to him and popped the button on his dress slacks. He took off his shoes as she unzipped his pants but he grabbed her wrist as she moved to pull them down. His hands trailed up her arms and around to her back, unclipping her bra in the process.Agron scooped her up in his arms and walked towards the bed. He placed her down gently and hovered over her, kissing her with more urgenc
“What the fuck do you mean Agron Makolli claimed Inara?” Dominic yelled into the phone as he climbed into the back of the SUV.“She’s wearing his ring, and says she signed the marriage contract,” Gage answered him.“Fuck!” Dominic yelled again and pinched the bridge of his nose. “I’ll be there in two hours. Keep an eye on them. If he makes one wrong move, shoot him in the head.” Dominic ended the call and gripped his phone tightly in his hand.“We should’ve killed the Albanian when we talked about it,” Hudson said. Hudson was alone with Dominic in the back with Ethan driving and Cooper sitting up front. He’d left Austin at the house with Rafaella, not wanting to leave her alone again. Austin had volunteered, he was pissed off as all hell.“Shit’s getting real too fast, Dominic,” Cooper said as he cocked his gun and placed it between his legs.“I fucking know, Coop. Rocco must have made an alliance with the Albanian fucking bastard and promised him Inara in return. It’s a done fucking
Inara walked into the living room and looked at her brothers sitting there. Dominic turned his head and stood up immediately. His arms wrapped around her and she hugged him back tightly.“Are you okay?” He cupped her face and looked into her eyes.“I’m fine, really.”He nodded his head and let go of her hand. Dominic sat back down and watched as Inara hugged Gage and walked to sit with Agron. Their movements seemed so effortless and Inara’s smile was genuine.Fuck. She had feelings for the man. Dominic knew he had to make this work, for her sake, if for nothing else. “There will be a condition on your continued drug trade.”“I’m open for negotiations,” Agron said.“If you are going to be our only supplier we will also be your only buyer. There will be no drug distribution in my city. Understood?”“That is fair,” Agron agreed.“Now tell me about Rocco’s plans,” Dominic said.“Rocco killed Conrad Vittori,” Agron began.“I already know that.”“The Elders approved his murder. All three of
Rafaella opened the door of their quarters that led to the hall connecting them to the rest of the house and smiled when she saw Austin standing there, guarding the door. She’d almost walked right into him.“You’re up,” Austin said and smiled at her. “Dominic will be gone for a few hours. He went to Mayberry View to find Inara.”“I hope she’s okay. Dominic will lose his mind if something happens to her,” she said and sighed.“Fuck yeah, his head will explode and he’d kill every last motherfucker involved,” Austin agreed.“How do you feel about a makeover, Austin?” she asked him.“A what now?”“You have great bone structure, Austin. I’ll just trim your beard a little, your hair might need some TLC too,” Rafaella said, her voice fading as she got lost in thought.Austin looked at the tiny woman in front of him. He liked her, more than he’d liked Isadora or any of Dominic’s other women. Dominic had given strict orders not to let Rafaella out of his sight and he wouldn’t have, even if Do
Gage unzipped his jacket and hung it in the foyer closet and put his helmet on the shelf next to his gloves. He closed the door and looked at Anya where she leaned against the wall of the hallway leading to the sitting room.“Did you get settled in alright?” Gage asked her.“Yes. I have settled in,” Anya replied.“Good, we should talk and get the awkwardness out of the way.”Gage walked towards the kitchen and opened the fridge. He took out the bottle of juice and turned towards the cabinets to find Anya behind him holding out two glasses. Seems like she also made herself acquainted with where everything was.“Thanks,” Gage said and filled both glasses. It was nearing lunch time and he was hungry. Anya must be hungry too. He’d left her last night at midnight and he had no idea if she’d eaten or not.“Are you hungry? Did you stop to eat?” Anya asked him instead and he looked at her with intrigue. Everything about her surprised him and he was most surprised that her presence didn’t irri
