Silas dips his chin slightly and his face relaxes as he smiles at me. "You don't have to say anything right now, there is no pressure here, Lucille. The decision rests entirely with you, and whatever you do decide we will honor it. For now let’s enjoy our evening." I nod in agreement, I have a lot to think about but he's right, I don't have to decide right now so I'm going to enjoy myself before I end up making any rash and possibly stupid decisions. Silas sits back and rests his arm along the top of the seat behind my shoulders just as Nam arrives pushing a trolley laden with plates and bowls of delicious looking food.

"This all looks and smells incredible," I gasp as Silas takes one of everything and loads them onto a plate for me. My mouth is already watering, I can’t wait to dig in.

"You have to try these dumplings," he says with a smile while placing two onto my plate.

We enjoy our meal with comfortable and easy conversation. He asks me about Teddy and how he's getting on with kindergarten and in turn tells me all about him and Cole and what they were like when they were growing up. If I didn't already know it, I would never guess that this man was a mobster. I had almost forgotten the warning Max had previously given me until Silas shifts and I notice his gun tucked into the back of his waistband. But it doesn't deter me, if anything it just makes him a hell of a lot more sexy, if that is even possible.

Silas settles the bill once we've finished and opens the door for me once we get to his car. "I'll take you home, I don't want you driving back after you've been drinking," he says, pulling out onto the main road.

I blush slightly and twiddle my thumbs in my lap. "What about my car?" I ask, concerned at how I'd be able to pick Teddy up from Kat's.

Silas squeezes my thigh gently with one hand still on the steering wheel. "I'll get Dario to drop it off in the morning before you've even woken up, don't worry la mia luce, you will be on time to pick up Teddy," he replies as if he read my mind.

I smile a sigh of relief. "Thank you Silas. Thank you for tonight, it really has been lovely." I say resting my hand on top of his. His genuine smile as I do has my defenses slowly crumbling just that little bit more.

I leave my hand resting with his the entire drive home, even keeping it in place when he switches gears. When we pull up outside of my apartment, Silas opens the Porsche door once more to let me out then walks me up the driveway. I open the door then turn to face him, unsure whether or not to let him inside, because if I do, I know he will end up in my bed. He takes a step towards me, placing both hands on either side of my face and crushes his lips to mine, deepening the kiss as he slides his tongue against my bottom lip before I do the same in return. "I won't come in," he says, breaking us apart his breathing rapid, "because if I do, I'm afraid I won't ever leave." I swear this man is inside my head. He kisses me again, softly this time with his lips molding to mine like they were made to fit together. I bring my hands around the back of his neck and pull him in closer before he pulls away for the last time and grits his teeth as if it is the hardest thing in the world for him to leave. "Goodnight Lucille, make sure you lock up before you go to bed," he orders, running his hand through his hair as if debating what his next move should be. Then he turns and walks back down the driveway and gets into his car.

"Goodnight Silas," I whisper, walking through my front door and locking it securely behind me.

Chapter 27

Vinny

Iwatch as she parks her car outside of this fancied up whore house. Lucille Holland. As she opens the door to her beat up car, I see her lean tanned legs step out, she's wearing some red fuck me heels that make her body look even more delicious than I remember. Her black dress clings in all the right places. I wonder if she still has the scars I left on her? She always did look pretty when my fists had blackened her skin. Wetting my lips at the thought of her being mine again, this time she won't get away. The call I received telling me where my property was hiding wanted a hefty sum of money for the information, luckily we had managed to come to a mutual agreement.

Lucille turns and locks her crappy car, then walks over to the entrance where she is greeted by a dark haired man that's built like a house. She talks with him for a moment and follows him in. I fight the urge to follow her inside, wanting to know what she’s doing every second of every minute. But I wait, biding my time in my blacked out car until I see a shadow appear beside my car window. I roll it down. It's a portly man, with little to no hair.

"Wondered when you'd turn up for that little bitch. She's about to go on a date with our boss, perhaps you can grab her after that?" he slurs, he's obviously been drinking but he's the contact that told me about Lucille's hiding place so I say nothing to show my disgust.

"Theo, I assume?" He nods. "I need to have the element of surprise, watch her daily activities and that of my son's, then I'll strike." I explain.

He grunts. "Fine but don't take too long to get the bitch out of our way." With that he leaves to enter the club.

A few minutes later, Lucille leaves the building accompanied by a large Italian looking guy, with dark hair and dark features. It must be their boss, Silas. I can tell from here he’s well built by the way his suit jacket pulls across his shoulders. She's grinning at him as he opens the car door for her to climb on in and it makes me want to wipe the smile off her pretty little face. She shouldn’t be smiling at another man. She shouldn’t be getting into his car, silly little whore. She’ll get what’s coming to her. I wait for them to start driving before I turn my engine on to follow them. Just as I'm about to pull off, some broad decides to stand in front of my car. This bitch must work at the whore house as she's dressed in next to nothing. Probably a good fuck with the size of her tits but her cunt is likely to be swarming with disease. I roll my window down, "Get the fuck out my way." I bark.

She smirks at me, looking a little crazy. "I know where they are off to if you want directions." she chirps.

Realizing I've lost sight of them I nod and reluctantly unlock the door, gesturing for her to get her ass in. "You can show me the way and suck my cock once I'm there for making me loose sight of them in the first place." I snarl at her as she closes the car door.

She giggles, "Alright sugar, it'll be the best blow job you'll ever get, name’s Roxi."

The whore, Roxi, directs me to my target like she said she would. As I pull up outside of the restaurant that Lucille and that motherfucker Silas are at, I click my fingers at Roxi, and like a good little slut she leans over and starts to get to work on my dick. Her mouth is wet and she knows what to do with her tongue that's for sure. As her head is bobbing up and down giving me a well earned release, I blow into her mouth. I push her head down on to my cock to ensure she swallows every single drop. Fucking whore needs a good meal and that's what she's got. I hear her gag slightly before letting her up. Her face is flushed and wet from the tear tracks that are running down her face. "Right, now fuck off will you?" She looks shocked at me for a second, as if a blow job could make me forget the woman who has escaped me for the last time, and I will have my revenge on her.

"I thought you might want some company," she finally says, hopeful that i’ll change my mind.

"The only company I wanted was your mouth on my dick, I got that, so again, fuck off before I slap some sense into you." That makes her move. She exits the car quickly and slinks off down the side alley of the restaurant away from my car.

I wait until Lucille and her boyfriend leave, again I follow them and eventually they lead me to her home. I watch and wait for Silas to leave. I will bide my time, once I gather enough of her normal routine, the bitch and brat are mine and I'll make sure I make her pay for daring to leave me. She thinks these men can save her. She's wrong. I'll ruin her and they will never even touch or look at what is mine again. She thinks she can run and hide my own child from me? I don't care much for the boy but he will come in handy to keep her in line I'm sure.

I'm coming for you Lucille Holland. My lawfully wedded wife.

Chapter 28

Max

It’s been too long since I last saw Lucille at the club fight night. It’s almost time for the next fight night and the stubborn little shit has ignored every one of my texts and calls. I know she’s angry but I’m trying to protect her, that's what big brothers do.

“What’s up Boss?” Jax asks as he slides through the door to my office and slings himself onto the chair opposite my desk. Jax is my newest recruit but he’s been showing his enthusiasm and commitment to the business so I hold plenty of hope for him even though it’s still early. His broad shoulders and sharp features make it hard for people to say no to, which is exactly what I need. He is exactly what the club needs.
