“So fucking hot,” he said, swiping a sleeve across his mouth and moving. In an instant, my legs were around his shoulders, and he lifted me upright. The door was the only leverage at my back as my feet left the ground and his two fingers plunged back into me.
Heat, like I’d never known, coursed through me as that damn tongue swirled around my most sensitive peak and sent me reeling. He sent me into oblivion as he devoured me wholly.
“Dante,” I cried. “God, Dante, please.”
He didn’t relent as he gave me all I wanted and more. The core of pleasure doubled and tripled before he once again curled those damned fingers inside of me. His tongue pierced that place where I most needed him, and everything fell apart around me.
I couldn’t be sure I was still conscious as darkness flooded my vision, and Iscreamedfor him.
I screamed for the mob boss who made me feel something nobody else ever had.
I shuttered and panted for what I desperately hoped to feel again.
Over and over again.
This time, rather than pushing me toward a third release, he stopped and allowed me to catch my breath. He knelt and released my feet back to the floor, holding me upright as I found balance.
How the hell was I meant to act as if everything was normal afterthat?
My mind still reeled as the gravity of what I’d just allowed to happen shook me.
For years, I’d waited for an opportunity to get the vengeance I was owed. I’d allowed that rage to simmer and burn within me for so long that it felt like a privilege to finally release it.
So why didn’t I feel any of that as Dante stood to his full height before me?
“I plan on making you beg a hell of a lot more than that in the future, Stellina.”
Despite it all, I believed him.
I believed that I wouldlethim, and that realization shook me to my core.

Dante
It wasn’t just the disloyalty that had me running to three other establishments in the following days to have “private discussions” with their owners.
The threat from Valentino Accardi was multiplying quickly.
He’d sent his men to lay waste to one of my warehouses, and I caught another man trying to solicit one of the casino owners I had in my pocket. He wanted information. He wanted to see my empire fall.
Now that he was making blatant moves, I couldn’t help but wonder what had changed.
What had him so ready to attack me openly after hesitating for so long?
Before I retaliated, I needed that piece of information. I’d played this game for a long time with the Accardi family, and I knew Valentino was a king in his own right. He’d taken over two other mob boss’s assets in the past ten years, and those assets leveled the playing field between us enough that he had become a genuine threat.
It was finally time to start evening the playing field.
“If you’re bringing me along, I’d like to know the reason for this gala,” Sienna complained from behind the closed bathroom door.
“Do you need help in there?” I asked from where I leaned into the bed, scrolling through my contacts. I sent a few texts to my soldiers, putting my best guys on guard duty this evening.
Her huff came through the door. “I need to know what I’m getting into.”
“If you’re going to be around, I need my men to see you with me. They need to know you’re off-limits.”
“That’s not the reason you’re throwing a gala. If you expect me to stop fighting you, maybe you should be honest with me.”
