PIPER

Sleeping with the Mafia boss was not on my to-do list . . . until now. The way his eyes burn into me like he wants to eat me alive sets me on fire. I need to have him . . . now.

There’s no hesitation as Anton’s hand pushes into my knickers and roughly swipes through my wetness. I shudder, slamming my palms against his hard chest.Fuck, it feels good. I close my eyes and slide my hands to his shoulders, digging my nails into his skin as he moves his fingers against my clit. My toes curl tightly as a tingling feeling burns through my body. It becomes too much, and as I begin to quiver under his expert touch, he stops. “What are you stopping for?” I pant.

“My mobile,” he mutters. “It’s buzzing.” He withdraws his hand, and I almost cry out at the loss.

“Are you kidding me right now? Ignore it,” I practically wail.

Instead, Anton pulls the mobile from his pocket and presses it to his ear. “Hulk, this better be good. I’m in the middle of something.” He listens for a second and then disconnects the call. “Get dressed. We have to go.”

“But we—” Anton cuts me off by thrusting my top at me.

“Ace and Mae are home,” he states, and my head spins.

It hits me hard. I haven’t thought about Mae since I opened my eyes this morning. I’ve been so wrapped up in Anton that I’ve forgotten the complete misery that Mae has been faced with. Shame dampens my sexual appetite, and I dress rapidly as Anton does the same.

Michael manoeuvres expertly through the busy London streets. I sit in the back next to Anton, who’s staring intently at his mobile. Maybe the interruption was a good thing. I have enough complications in my life without adding to them.

We arrive and the clubhouse is busy. The feeling of elation bounces around amongst the members because not only is their President home, but so is Bernie’s daughter. Everyone loves Mae like their own.

When I finally spot her pale and tired face, I burst into tears. The days since she’s been gone have been harder than I realised, and I’m weighed down with the fear of what could have been. I can’t get to her because she’s too wrapped up in everyone else’s arms, so I watch from a distance, crying into my sleeve. I feel arms snake around my waist from behind, and for a split second, I’m disappointed when I realise it’s Hulk and not Anton.

“I thought we were never going to see them again,” he whispers close to my ear. I nod in agreement. We all thought the same when we received no ransom or threats.

“They look washed out,” I mutter. “Do we know where they’ve been?”

Hulk snuggles his face into my hair and takes a deep breath. “No. I haven’t managed to speak to him properly yet, but I will. And when I find out, I’m gonna blow that place up and kill every fucker in it.”

“Good,” I whisper, wiping my eyes. Whoever took Ace and Mae deserve to die.

Hulk turns me in his arms, and I press my cheek against his chest. It seems so natural for us to be like this, which makes it all the harder to accept every time he pushes me away. My eyes lock onto the dark, burning globes of Anton’s eyes. He’s staring so intently from across the room that my heart beats wildly in my chest.Why do I feel like I’m doing something wrong?I take a step back from Hulk. “I’d better push my way in there to see Mae or I’ll be waiting hours.” I smile. “Look, Hulk, I’m really sorry for putting you through so much shit these last few days. I’ve been worried about Mae, and it’s made me do some stupid shit.”

Hulk reaches out, cupping my face in his large hands. He uses his thumbs to wipe away the tear tracks that undoubtedly stain my skin. “Your fire and rebellious streak are just some of the reasons that I—” he begins to say but is abruptly cut off when I’m hit hard from behind and enveloped in Mae’s arms.

“I’ve missed you so much,” she cries. I hold her arms against my chest and smile through the tears that fall again.

“Oh, you have no idea, Mae,” I sob. “Don’t you ever get yourself kidnapped ever again,” I add, and she laughs.

We don’t get any chance to catch up properly before Mae is whisked away again. The men have been called into church, and Anton and Tag are hanging back, waiting to be called in. I sit on one of the couches in the main room and watch my mum and Bernie fuss around Mae. She’ll never be allowed out of their sight again. The space next to me dips as Anton lowers himself into the spot.

“What the fuck was that earlier with Hulk?” he asks.

“We got caught in a moment,” I mutter. “Happy to have his dad and my best friend home.”

“If we’re sticking to some kind of plan, it’s best you don’t melt at his every fucking touch,” he says quietly but with as much venom as if he was shouting in my face. “Act like you’re my queen and he’ll be eating out of your hand forever. You roll back into bed with him, then he’ll be back to using you within the day.”

“I thought our deal was off,” I reply.

“That was until I touched you. The deal is back on, and we play it my way.”

I stare down at my fingers as I knot them together. “Yah know, he’s not as bad as you think. He can be kind and sweet.”

He scoffs, rolling his eyes. “Did you see the woman that Ace brought back with him? Hulk couldn’t keep his eyes off her arse. He’s a player, Piper, and if you want him eating out your hand, listen to me.”

I glance at the tall blonde that came back with Ace and Mae. She’s pretty, and I can imagine that she’s Hulks type. “I didn’t actually agree to take part in the plan.”

“You almost came on my hand, Piper, wasn’t that your agreement?”
