I thrust inside her, my hand tightening around her throat. Her eyes closed in ecstasy as I pounded into her. Her binds tightened as her body rocked beneath me. I wouldn't last long. My need to claim her was too powerful. “Can you come for me?”

“Yes,” she whimpered, her pussy fluttering around my shaft.

I slipped my free hand between us and pressed my thumb to the swollen pearl, causing her walls to choke down around my shaft. The sensation of being squeezed made my balls tightened and the orgasm to burst free. “Fuck!”

I roared into the room as my cock erupted inside her. I pounded into her, my seed spurting into her womb like a fire hose dousing a flame. I collapsed with my cock still buried inside her when I did. I untied her arms, allowing her to wrap them around my neck.

“Vincenzo.” She whispered against my cheek, her breaths coming out in pants. “You’re crushing me.”

Shifting my weight, my dick slipped out of her as I rolled onto my back. She sat up and untied her legs, tossing the neck ties to the floor. She rolled against me, resting her head in the crook of my shoulder.

She pressed a kiss to my flesh. “What happens now?”

“We take a nap and then shower. The restaurant has to be opened today.”

Her heavy sigh tickled my skin. “You know what I mean, Vincenzo.”

“How about we take it day by day?”

“Ok. Can you promise me something?”

I closed my eyes, afraid of what she was going to ask. “I don’t know, Tesoro.”

“If you find Dmitri, let me take him in. I can’t protect you if you kill him.”

“You know who I am, Riley. That’s a promise I can’t make you. For now, we will take it one day at a time. But you know as well as I do, there will come a point when we have to decide.”

“Yeah. I do.”

I held her tighter, not wanting to let her go… even if I knew deep down that's where this would lead.

Riley

“Pritz is pissed you have nothing. He wants you to bug the restaurant.”

There was no way I was going to do that. I'd be ousting myself right along with the Anastasi's. “What the fuck, Jackson? You can’t be serious.”

Jackson's eyes narrowed. “Are you getting too close to your boss, Riley? It feels like you are evading your purpose.”

My palms were sweating as I closed my fingers into a fist beneath the table. “No. Of course not.”

“Good.” Jackson slid the tiny listening device across the table to me and smiled. “Here it is. Just put it in the office when you can and press this button. Maybe we will pick up something you’re not privy to.”

My gut coiled with disgust. I’d spent years to get where I was with the FBI and yet, I was about to betray everything my badge stood for. “Fine. I’ll do it as soon as I can. Anything else?”

“Yeah. It’s been confirmed. Dmitri Ivanov is back in Vegas. Carmichael’s team spotted him outside of the city. I don’t know what’s going on, but I have a feeling it’s big. I have a feeling your boss is at the center of it all.”

“What if we’re wrong?”

Jackson laughed, but realized my expression was serious. “Wait. You’re serious? Come on Lawson, you know the Anastasi’s are the biggest Mob family in Vegas. Ivanov would be the perfect crime partner. With his contacts in Russia, the Anastasi’s would be untouchable if they aligned with him.”

“What if they are at war with him? I mean…” I shifted in the booth. “What if the Anastasi’s are actually at odds with Ivanov? Maybe we’re going at this all wrong. They could be the key to bringing down one of the biggest criminals the FBI has seen in a while.”

“Do you hear yourself? Riley, just plant the bug. Work the angle your supposed to. I’m not throwing years of investigation down the drain because you have a whim.”

“Fine.” I ran my hands through my hair. “You’re right.” I glanced at my watch and sighed. “I got to get to work if you don’t want the boss wondering what I’ve been doing.”
