"Marcell." Olivia gasped. I captured her bottom lip between mine.
"Hush," I said. She was putty in my arms.
I was dirty, sick, and marked by death, and like some selfish succubus, I was sucking the purity out of the one thing in my life that had light. Always terrified of the darkness that threatened to take me over.

"What's this?"
Marcell's shirt was untucked and unbuttoned, revealing his muscled chest.
"Neutral ground," Marcell said. He took slow steps towards me. "It's neither yours, nor is it mine."
"It's ours." His hands found purchase on my hips. "We are just Olivia and Marcell. A man. A woman."
"What do you need, Marcell?"
"You."

Blind Trust with the Don

“Who?” Olivia pipped up from beside me. 


The room had grown to an uncomfortable silence. All of us processing my ever-growing suspicion. 


“Shamus Kelly. Washed up Don of the Kelly family. Recently brought back into the fold after he helped… facilitate me taking out Aldo.” I replied, the dark cynicism crept back through my voice. 


“He double-crossed you?” Olivia asked her eyes growing wide with the realization of who Shamus was. 


I had kept her far from him during the takeover two months ago. Her brief interaction with the Russo Estate was only in the exterior. Even after we sent Diego and Katie off to start their new lives. Only moments after I had put a bullet through the old Don’s head. She had never seen faces, nor had they seen her. A move I had made on purpose. 


“I doubt it could even be considered a double-cross,” Ren remarked the look in his eyes only echoed the feeling deep inside mine. 


“What do you mean?” Eleanor asked.
