Page 69 of Merciless Desires

“You’re marrying the Don’s daughter. What did you expect?” Romero tapped his breast pocket. “Do you want my flask?”

“I’m good.”

As the classical music changed to the bridal march, the audience stood and turned their attention to the aisle where my bride would make her way to me. When she appeared in her white, silk dress that was custom designed for her, she looked like a true princess, even wearing a silver diamond-cut tiara on her head. The Malatesta family had acquired that crown years ago from an Italian royal. Cin’s mother wore it on her wedding day and she wanted to do the same to honor her.

Her gaze locked with mine as she walked arm and arm with her father, smiling at me from the distance. The fact that her belly was filled with my baby only enhanced her beauty. She glowed with happiness as she came toward me.

“She’s gorgeous,” Romero said. “You’re very lucky.”

“I know.” I smiled at Cinzia as Janero led her to me.

Once they stood in front of me, Janero lifted Cin’s veil and kissed her cheek. He took her hand and placed it in mine.

“Now you are truly my son,” Janero said. “I hope you know what an honor it is to have you as part of my family.”

“I’ll cherish your daughter for the rest of my life.” I looked into Cinzia’s eyes. “You’re stunning.”

“I love you,” she whispered.

“I love you too.”

As we stepped up to meet the minister, I didn’t let go of her hand. I would never let go. Our fates were entangled in one another forever. Mafia royalty, now and always. Our lives were only beginning.

The Enforcer’s Captive

Kidnapped. Violated. Made to crave it.

My captor awakened dark desires I didn’t know I had.

But freedom always comes at a price.

When he abducted me, I fought him every step of the way.

But my punishments morphed into pleasure under his expert touch.

My body betrayed me, arching into his twisted desires.

I tell myself it’s all just an act to survive.
