“There will be a war. There is no other way. Killing my father will pull too much attention to me and that’s not what I want. I want to run this family, but I want to run it the right way. Businesses, stores, casinos. I want to head to Las Vegas and make things happen. Living in Chicago, isn’t going to get me where I want to be. I want more for my life.” God, just hearing him talk so passionately about what he wants makes my heart swell. Maybe I was wrong about him. Maybe this whole time I’ve been looking at the bad side of him and not enough at the good side because Dom clearly does have a good side to him.

Dom turns a movie on before reaching for the food and passing me some. He cracks open a beer and sits back against the headboard with me and as we watch the movie, I watch him. I want to know more. So much more. And as he laughs at parts of the movie, I realize just how young he is. He’s my age. A kid. A teenager and just like me this life has handed him a load of shit and he’s had no other way to deal with it aside from what he’s doing. In this moment, I see something different in his sparkling grey eyes. I see hope. I see a future and when he turns his head to look at me, I lose all sense of control. I move, straddling his lap, pulling his lips to mine. I kiss him like I’ve never kissed anyone else before. Explosions rocket through the air between us. His hands wrap around my hips keeping me in place as he kisses me back. Everything else in the world seems to fade and there’s only us.

His cock grows harder the longer we kiss, but Dom doesn’t make a move to go any further. He’s giving me the power. I quickly climb up and out of my bottoms and sit back in his lap. His lips are back on mine, kissing and sucking. Reaching between us, I pull his cock free of his sweats and slide myself down the length. I moan as Dom grunts. Face to face, we breathe each other in. Our lips aren’t touching but our eyes are burning with a new fire. If we’re not careful both of us will ignite.

“Do it, Eva. Do whatever you want to me,” he whispers.

Ilet her have control over me and I’m not sure if I should have. I’ve never been good at being out of control.

Eva reaches between us and pulls my cock free from my sweats. She moves and positions herself before sliding down my length. I hiss out a breath but keep my hands planted on her hips letting her do what she wants. And she does. She slowly rocks on me and when my eyes meet hers, I can see the strange look.

“What is it?”

“When did I start caring about you?” Her hips stop and so does my heart. I’ve never had anyone care about me like that. My mother is a given, it’s what parents should do but never anyone like Eva.

“I…” I’m speechless. I don’t know what to say or how to respond to that. I wasn’t expecting her to care. I wasn’t expecting anything from he and yet here she is.

“You don’t have to say anything,” she whispers before leaning down and pressing her lips to mine. I can’t hold back, not after that admission. I wrap my hands around her body, my lips moving to her neck. I suck her soft flesh into my mouth, leaving my mark on her skin. Eva pants as her hips begin to move once more. Each roll sends a chill over my body. Heat courses through my veins and as quickly as this all started its over. I come hard inside of her while I lick at her skin. Eva clenches and explodes in a wave of pleasure that’s all her own but neither of us make the move to separate. We stay like this, just holding each other long after we’ve both come down from our highs.

“No one has ever told me that, Evangeline.”

“I’m glad I was the first then,” she whispers softly.

“I’ve done things. Things I shouldn’t have and I’m sorry that I did what I did in front of you.” Eva leans back, her hands grabbing my face and forcing my gaze to hers.

“I wouldn’t have believed you if I didn’t see it for myself. We’re doing this. I’m giving you the six months that you asked me for,” she says keeping her eyes on mine.

In my lifetime, as short as it may be, I’ve never cared what a woman had to say or what she thought. I never wanted to keep a girlfriend or anything more for that matter around. Yet, Eva is here and I can’t imagine letting her go. At first, I thought it was to eat away at everything my father built, eat away and him, but things are slowly changing. Things inside of me are changing and I’m not sure how to handle them.

“Are you okay?” Eva asks when I don’t say anything further. I nod my head, lift her off me and kick all the food to the end of the before laying down and curling around her.

“You were watching me. Why?”

“You seemed so young. Like me. You weren’t a man of the mafia you were just an eighteen year old kid laughing at a movie. It was beautiful,” she whispers. How does she see that when all I see is the executioner that I’ve always been. I’ve never looked in the mirror and saw a child which is exactly what some would see me as.

“You need to sleep. The tutor will be here early,” I tell her needing her to stop saying these things. Things that could get me killed if I let them linger in my head. I can’t let her do that.

“Thank you for tonight,” she says before I press a kiss to her cheek. She curls up and I hold her close as she falls asleep. When she’s finally asleep, I slip out of bed and clean up the mess I made before heading out of the room and into my office. I go over a little paperwork and pull up my feeds.

“Always in this office,” Mario walks in with Vin behind him.

“You’re always awake. Why are you still awake?”

“No reason. Just running the perimeter.” Just as he speaks, alarms sound. I’m on my feet, pulling my gun from the desk in front of me and rushing into the hallway.

“South wing,” Vin says as he checks his phone. We all move in that direction when I hear her.

“What’s happening?”

“Get her and get in the safe room,” Vin says. I shake my head ready for the fucking war that may have already started. I don’t know who it is trying to gain entrance to my house. I don’t know if they succeeded. I want to go with them and fuck something or someone up. But she’s important to me. I have to protect her too. Giving Vin a quick nod, I move toward Eva, grabbing her hand in mine. Tugging her down the hall, we head toward the safe room in no time.

“Get in there,” I say nodding toward the closet in the office. Eva moves toward it, pulling the door open when I walk up behind her.

“What’s happening?”
