“You don’t understand the things I would do to protect you,” I said, straddling her and moving up her body. I gripped the hem of her shirt and tugged it up, allowing it to tangle in the belt’s restraint above her head as I caged her into the bed with my hands. “I need you to trust me enough to listen to me when I tell you to do and not to do things, so I’m not untying you until you show me that you trust me.”
“I do,” she said.
“Do you trust me with your life?” I asked. I didn’t want to scare her, and I didn’t want to do anything that would sway that trust in me, but I needed to know that she could listen to me.
“Yes,” she whispered, eyes wide as I reached a hand to the bedside table and grabbed what I knew rested there. I flipped open the blade and held it above her, flipping it in my hands. She gasped. “Carlo, what are you—”
“Do you trust me?” I asked again.
She gulped, looking between me and the knife that I knew I’d never hurt her with. I wouldn’t leave a single scratch on her skin, and I needed her to trust that as intensely as I knew it. “Yes,” she finally said.
I lowered it to her, pressing the dull end into her collarbone and moving it up until it sat against her jugular. Her breathing came out in pants as I reached my other hand between her thighs and dipped a finger into her. Sierra was drenched for me, and my already hard cock throbbed at the feeling of her thrusting herself into my fingers. “I need you to know that no matter how much danger you’re in, you’re safe as long as you listen to me. As long as you follow my orders and trust me.”
“I know,” she moaned, arching her back as I swirled a finger around her oozing core.
“Do you trust me?” I asked again, feeling the way she was on the verge of coming apart beneath me. I pushed the dull end of the knife into her throat a bit harder, but she didn’t react as she moaned and tried to ride my fingers. She didn’t answer. “Sierra, I asked you a question.”
“I do,” she panted breathlessly.
“Tell me how much you trust me.”
“You can have a gun to my head or your hand around my throat, and I know you wouldn’t hurt me. Not really. You were right,” she cried, “God, please, Carlo.”
I tossed the knife to the side table, unable to wait another second as I pulled her panties down the rest of the way and worked her. She clenched around my fingers as she moaned and panted her need for me, and I didn’t hesitate before pulling out my cock and thrusting it into her. “Take me, baby. All of me.”
She moaned as I filled her, and as she jerked on the restraints, I gave in, unlatching them in a moment of weakness. She wrapped both legs and arms around me as her orgasm rippled through her immediately. There was no waiting as I shoved hard into her, taken wholly by the clenching of her tight pussy around me.
I couldn’t stop the barreling release that came from me next. It wasn’t a long fuck, and we didn’t do nearly as much as I wanted to do, but as she came around my cock, I made it only a few thrusts before groaning and releasing my seed, too.
I met her eyes as we both came apart. “You’re either going to trust me, or you’re going to be in this position again,” I told her. “You won’t like it next time. I made a promise that you’d never experience what you did on your twentieth birthday, and I don’t break my promises.”

SIERRA
I couldn’t get Carlo and the promise I’d made out of my mind. I couldn’t do anything like that again. Hell, I didn’twantto, but now that I knew the consequences…
I didn’t doubt that Carlo would hold up his word and keep me tied in his bed as long as I defied him, and I could do no good from there. At least I could trust that Frankie would keep Bella safe now that he was aware of the Luccheses’ next target. He left, making me promise one last time to stay in the house, and I had every intention of following through on that promise as he left for an emergency meeting with his brothers to discuss the next steps. My information hadn’t been too descriptive, but it had certainly given them a timeframe. They knew to be careful.
I sat on the end of Carlo’s bed, my heart pounding as I considered this entire situation finally coming to a head and being over. I counted on the fact that Frankie knew what he was doing. He and Carlo would do anything to see their brothers’ safety, and they wouldn’t jeopardize each other with an ignorant move.
My phone chimed, and I jerked upright, entirely lost in thought. Part of me expected to look down and find a message from Hunter. I’d severely neglected all of our plans in the past few weeks, and he had stopped reaching out altogether. I knew I hurt him with my absence, but I couldn’t shake the fear that I’d bring him into his situation if I spent too much time with him. I mentally resolved that I’d call him tomorrow, and if this was a text from him, I would leave it unopened for now. But instead, a message from Bella came through the line:
Can you meet me at Frankie’s?
I bit my lip, wondering if I should tell her I was already here. Before I could make up my mind, she messaged again.
Frankie told me what you found out and I really need someone to talk to.
My heart went out to her, and I typed out a reply.I’m already here. Are you?
Yes, out front,she replied, and I stood. Carlo had made it clear not to leave the house, but I imagined the property could be considered a part of the house. Plus, he said he’d be in the office, close enough to make sure nothing happened. My eyes veered to where he’d forgotten his belt, still attached to the headboard of the bed, and I bit my lip. I didn’t think I’d mind if he reacted similarly to me breaking the rules…
I strutted down the steps and stepped out the front door of the house, looking around. Bella didn’t sit on the makeshift front patio, but I saw her just beyond the fence, her feet in the street as she sat on the final step of the pathway. I made my way to her quietly, dropping to sit at her side.
Bella, for the first time since knowing her, didn’t smile and look over at me. She only stared at the street in silence. “I did say that this life was dangerous.”
“I know,” I told her.
