Page 24 of The Mafia's Omega Queen

“Yes?” He prowls toward me as I back further toward the door. Reaching behind me, I grip the knob and turn it, pulling the door open and sliding through into the hallway.

“Yes.”

The wood slams closed the second I let go, cutting off his view of me. A loud “Fuck yes!” echoes down the hall in my wake, Vinny’s excitement palpable in the air.

It’s his one and only chance. That’s what the guys and I decided. He only gets the one. No more. So if he fucks it up, that’s it. Regardless of what my heart wants.

Let’s hope he’s ready to pay the price of being with me.

Code flies across my screen as I zone out, thinking about what a future with Haylee will look like. Or what I hope it would look like. In a perfect world, it would be me and all of my brothers living in close harmony with our omega. I have no clue where we’d be living, most likely at the Storm compound since that’s where Haylee will rule over.

I don’t know what that would mean for here, or Vinny for that matter, but hopefully, those two can figure something out. It wouldn’t be right to be split up, but Hunter and I agree that where Haylee goes, we go. Gavin will be by her side regardless, so that really leaves Vinny as the odd one out.

His life, his legacy, is here, and I don’t know how easy it would be to just pick it all up and leave. But if he cares about her the way he expresses he does, then it should be easy for him to figure something out. Even if it means giving it all up and putting someone else in charge. Because that will no longer be me.

One thing I do hope for in the future is children. It’s not something any of us have discussed, but it’s definitely a want. This may not be the ideal life to bring children into, but it’s been proven time and time again—Haylee and Vinny are both great examples—that it’s possible for children to thrive in the environment.

But fuck. I groan, forking my hands through my hair. I’m so far ahead of myself. We need to fully lock Haylee down first. She needs our bites on her creamy flesh. It was so hard to deny her than during her chemical heat, but I don’t know if I’ll be strong enough to stop myself from doing it the next time. And I know I’m not the only one. Hunter looked like he was hanging by a thread every time she asked.

Reaching down, I rearrange my now hard dick. Just thinking about sinking my teeth in her has me riding the edge. Doc came yesterday and cleared Haylee completely, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to find my sweets later and make love to her like I’ve been dying to for weeks. It’s been torture to hear her plead for relief and unable to give it to her. Well, the relief she really wants. Orgasms are orgasms, but nowhere near as good as being knotted.

Or so she says.

The computer in front of me pings, snapping me out of my thoughts. My chair glides across the rug at my feet, and I rest my elbows on my desk as files upon highlighted files fill up the screen.

Holy fuck.

Haylee was right. There’s a connection between Bianca and Archie. Now if only we had the opportunity to find out what was being said on any of these calls. There’s so god damn many, it’s ridiculous. Almost as much as there were between Bianca and Lionel. There are even conference calls between the numbers, so at the time those were made, they were plotting together.

Those three are linked, but there’s no way to find out exactly how.

Once all the files finish downloading, I correlate them all and hit print. The printer whorls to life, and in a matter of seconds, the tray is filled with a stack of printouts. The only difference is this time, I have Bianca’s calls highlighted one color, and Lionel’s highlighted another. Vinny’s going to shit a brick when I present this to him.

Really, though, I’m not all that surprised at the outcome. We knew there was a traitor in our midst, we just never thought it would be her of all people. Again, not surprised, though. She’s a self-serving bitch with her own agenda. And that agenda is sinking her claws deep into Vincenzo and the rest of us.

The question remains, though, is what she thought she’d get out of all this. There’s no way it was just for the dick. She could get that anywhere, and I’m almost one hundred percent sure she has. It’s inconceivable to think she’s been faithful to Vinny the entire time they were together. Just look at all the times she’s thrown herself at me and Hunter.

Gathering the information from the printer, I head out of my office, ready to deliver the news to Vinny. There’s no saying how he’ll react, but I suspect there will be a lot of cursing and maybe shit flying. Andre will have one hell of a mess to clean up at the end of his tirade.

As I round the corner, I slam into a soft body, the papers flying from my hands as I grab Haylee to keep her from hitting the ground. Her hands clasp around my neck as I pull her against my chest, cradling her still-healing body against mine. Doc may have cleared her, but that doesn’t mean that she can’t be reinjured easily.

“Fuck, you okay, sweets? I wasn’t watching where I was going.”

Her gorgeous blues stare up at me, and a small smile tips her luscious lips. “I can’t help but fall for you whenever I see you,” she jokes with a giggle. I roll my eyes good-naturedly. Leave it to my girl to make a joke when I almost mow her ass down.

“I fell for you the moment you climbed Vinny like a tree,” I chuckle. “I can still see the shock on his face when you held the knife to his neck.”

“Mmm, good times, good times.”

“So, where are you off to, sweets?”

“Actually,” she murmurs, “I was coming to see what you were up to. You’ve been holed up in your damn office so much that I miss you.”

Her words are like a shot to the heart. There are times I get so sucked into things that it’s like the rest of the world disappears until I complete whatever it is I’m doing. But all that’s proving to do is take my time away from my omega. She deserves better than that.

“I’m sorry, sweets. Vinny told me what you had mentioned in his office, and I just sort of zoned in on that. Which, by the way, you were right.”

“I fucking knew it,” she curses. “Gah, I can’t wait to kill that bitch along with the other two. So, how many times are we talking here that they’ve been in contact?”
