“So, what will you do next?”, Norah asked. “It will be weird to go on without her.”, I said. Norah squeezed my hand. “We’re here when you need us.”, she said. I smiled sadly; my mom was all the family I had. “Is it weird that I’m not crying?”, I asked. “No.”, Norah answered decisively. “You do what feels right for you and let no one tell you otherwise! I think you are already accepting that she is no longer with us. Mourning is a different process for all of us.” I nodded. She was right. Lily had a normal life, with a normal family, normal job and normal friends. Focused on her career, she made no time for boyfriends. Not that the right ones wanted her anyways... But after her mom's death she is stupified when she learns that she is now the proud owner of 2 houses in Europe and a million dollar trust fund. Turns out, her life is not so boring anymore, her mom never was boring, and the job brings her into more problems than she needed. And the men, they are now fighting for her heart. Will Lily find her happily ever after, or is she already in too deep?

In Too Deep: a mafia story

As soon as the door closed, Matteo turned me around in his arms, pulling my back against his hard chest. He leaned down to lick my neck, and suck on that particular sweet spot that made me putty in his hands. His hands creeped up to release the bed sheet from my body, but I really didn’t care about that. With nothing between his hands and my body, his hands caressed my body. 


“Stop, Matteo! Please!”, I pleaded. Matteo stopped and looked at me. “I need to go to the bathroom.”, I said with a small voice. He grinned and pushed me to the toilet, smacking my ass as I went. 


When I sauntered back to the main room, I saw Matteo standing by the window staring at the dark sky. I wrapped my arms around him from behind. For a second, I let myself belief that this was more than it was. I knew it was sex, mixed with a bit of romance. Not romance with a bit of sex.
