Bianca sat on her bed, in her room, reading a book. three weeks had passed since her dad's death and two had passed since his burial. her dad's burial vibe was next level dreariness. sympathisers from all around the world attended, his siblings, his business allies, his friends, Allegra and Kim came too, her bitchy younger sister, Capria who didn't come home when she heard about their dad's death, came for the burial with her boyfriend, a skinny, blonde, freckle faced guy, and they both left the next day immediately after the burial. she didn't want to think of Capria at that moment. her ex boyfriend, Matt never called for once to share his sympathies or comfort her and it made her realise how cruel he was, and it also made her get over him quick.
her mom's family and friends came too, her dad's business associates, capos, soldiers, his mafia consigliere. there were so many people who attended, but she took note of the important appearances. it took a lot of time and effort to get her to stop crying on that day.
And finally, she decided to stop crying and focus her energy on something else.
a week after her dad's death, her mom and June had showed her the video footage of her dad's death.
she wept uncontrollably when she watched the video. the way her dad was brutally stabbed because just because he slept with a mafia's slutty wife. her dad was only trying to get back at his enemy. he was trying to get even because he felt inferior. that violent dirtbag Giovanni Sforza should have known because mafia business was always dirty. he should have resolved it amicably with her dad because that was what civilised people do. but no, the raging freak just had to start the murder.
the only thing that gave her a tiny bit of satisfaction was the fact that her dad didn't die alone. he took down his enemy with him.
Even at that, she still missed her dad so much. she didn't want Giovanni to go scot free after brutally stabbing her dad, she wanted to make him pay but unfortunately, her dad did the job. her dad would loved it if his death was avenged. Since, Giovanni was dead, his family and descendants would have to pay for his sins. she had already gathered information about them. Giovanni had a wife named Barbara and a son. they were from Italy. the son answered Lorenzo and had just returned to take over his dad's mafiadom.
So many Lorenzos around in Italy. the Lorenzo she met online hadn't also texted her since the day his text broke she and her boyfriend up. somehow she was grateful to him for helping her reveal Matt's true colours.
she was about to send a text message to Lorenzo but didn't because her phone started to ring. Allegra had face timed her.
"hi" she said quietly as she stared at Allegra on the phone
"darling", her friend called. "how are you feeling?"
"it's getting better. the pain is easing away slowly" said Bianca. "how's Kimberly?"
"she's good. she's in a class. worry about yourself for now."
Bianca almost smiled, but then she didn't because she wasn't in the mood for happiness now.
they stared at eachother in silence for a moment, then Allegra asked
"what are you up to now?"
"I'm reading this book and trying hard to concentrate on it" Bianca said, showing her the book, from the phone.
"it looks interesting " said Allegra, after seeing the book. "why is it hard for you to concentrate "
"my dad " Bianca simply said "I miss him. I want to kill those people who took my poor dad's life "
"you'll be fine", Allegra soothed
"will I?"
"just give me a little time, I'll come visit you " said Allegra
even if Bianca was grateful for her friend's offer because she really needed company, she didn't want Allegra to travel all because of her.
"no" she said to her "you don't have to. I can care for myself"
"I don't need your permission ", said he persistent Allegra
"I really don't want to burden you" Bianca said
"we are friends, Bianca. I know you'll do the same for me. by the way, I want to see your house"
"Okay" she smiled back. it was really nice to have a friend like Allegra
"I'll be waiting then"
"We all are missing you here"
"I miss you guys too" she didn't know when she was going to return back to college. she didn't know what the aftermath of her dad's death had in store for her.
The door to her room opened and in came her mom, her uncle and June.
"uhhh...." she said to Allegra.
"I'll call you back soon, bye"
then she ended the call
"Madre" she called her mom
"good day, Zu" she greeted her uncle
"what brings you to my room?"
her mom sat at the end of the bed "we came to talk to you"
"go on"
"your dad has passed away, leaving his legacy behind for his heiress" she began
Bianca cringed mentally. was her mom talking about the mafia business? if that was what she meant, then Bianca was no heiress.
"you're his heiress, mia figlia" her mom said, as if she read her mind. "the mafiadom needs a new don"
"mum" she began " that can be solved. there's Capria---"
"you're the eldest daughter" her mom snapped "you're the son I and your dad never had. you can't shy away from your duties"
"no mom!" she refused "I can't be a mafioso, let alone boss, I'm not ready, I don't have what it takes...."
she couldn't do dirty business, being a mafioso required a lot of will power and kills. she wasn't ready to make foes and get herself killed like her dad. she'd heard all about it, she'd even seen it in movies. human and drug trafficking, bribery, lingering wars, killings, going to extreme lengths, she just couldn't do it. back at school, she hid the fact that her family did mafia stuff because she was embarrassed about it and she didn't want to be stereotyped. only Kim and Allegra knew about it.
"you have what it takes, mia figlia" her mom began. "it's your responsibility." she turned to her brother
"your uncle Luigi worked as your dad's underboss. he helped your dad with certain things. Now your dad's no longer with us, he's here to help you "
"mom, don't you understand? mafia isn't for me. I'm not capable of killing anyone "
her mom kept mute for a while, tension evident in the atmosphere. then she played a video and put it in front of Bianca.
it was the footage of her dad's murder. she felt tears rolling down her cheeks as she watched it. why had her mom chosen to poke open her closed wounds?
"would you let this bastard and his family enjoy the goodness of life after they've killed your dad?"
she certainly didn't want them to go unscathed. she wanted to make them pay, bleed and beg her for mercy. she wanted to avenge her dad's unfair and undue death.
"your silence proves that you want what we want which is to leave the Sforza's in ruin" her mom said
"but mom---" she began
"no buts" her mom interrupted sternly "our family and the Sforza's have been at war for generations. Giovanni had certain issues and altercations with your dad, but they never crossed the line. there was a time where they were at peace with eachother, but it couldn't last because Giovanni decided to make use of fists and daggers, instead of words to resolve a measly argument"
Bianca nodded her agreement. she still had her fears
"who started the kill, in the video footage you watched?" her mom asked her when she noticed her indecisive expression.
"Giovanni"
"wasn't it an issue they were meant to resolve with words?" her mom asked again.
Bianca kept quiet. she knew all too well.
"you've always made your dad happy. are you going to fail to avenge his death now, because I'm sure he'd want that, even in his grave" her mom tried another way to convince her
"no, madre" she answered
"so now, what do you say about taking over your dad's business" her mom finally asked
"it's my destiny" Bianca said with finality
she'd always known this. now, she saw no point in delaying the inevitable.
"no pressure, mia figlia" her mom added
"Luigi is here to teach you everything you need to know, from the soldiers to the capos and associates"
"June is here to teach you martial arts, which is essential for your daily life"
"and finally," her mom added "if you have any problems, do not hesitate to come to me. I'll always be there"
"thanks, madre" said Bianca, even if she fretted for her future, her mom's words reassured her
"la mia bellissima figlia" her mom said as she touched her cheeks, then left the room.
Bianca groaned as she rolled on her bed. this was all too overwhelming for her. she knew someday, she'd have to take charge of her family's mafia but she hadn't braced herself and when her dad died, she thought her mom had another person who would take over if she wasn't willing to.
she groaned again. she just needed to calm down. she needed something or someone to calm her down.
as if on cue, her phone beeped and she quickly checked it.
it was a message from Lorenzo. he knew exactly how to come through at the right time.
the message said
'its been a while, Bianca. I've been busy with so many things. what about you? are you taking exams?'
she replied
'no. I came back home. I'm at my hometown in Sicily. what about you? still at work?'
surprisingly, he replied quick
'I don't know if you believe in fate. I don't, but I think it's speaking in our case'
she didn't understand the message when she got it but before she could ask what he meant, he sent another message
and it said
'I'm at my hometown. I came back a month ago '
Bianca's heart skipped a beat when she saw his reply. was it finally time for them to meet? or was he still too busy to meet with her?
before she could think of anything else, she received another message from him and it said
'Let's meet'

She ought to be showing more decorum, but his tongue moved the silk of her top against her nipple in delicate friction. The dampness of his mouth enclosed her in heat, sucking and inciting. She was lost, groaning with delight as he tortured her, licking and moving that damp fabric, squeezing the swell of her breast just enough to push more blood into the tip.She was going to climax from this alone, she thought, working her nails with agitation against his shirt, thinking she should stop this, but she was compelled to keep going because it felt so damned good.Her waistband released and his other hand slid in, confident and possessive, cupping soaked lace, saying something in Italian she didn’t have the wherewithal to interpret, but he sounded pleased. Like he was complimenting her. She absolutely flowered when he sounded so appreciative and admiring.He held his palm steady for her to grind herself into the heel of his hand.

With a little sob, she finally capitulated, softening and letting him take control.Her reward was a wash of delirious pleasure. Suddenly she felt what this kiss was doing to her. Her blood was hot, her erogenous zones sensitized and singing. His body seemed to envelop hers in sexual need. She was so steeped in desire, her knees folded.She would have gone anywhere with him in that moment. Would have let him do anything. She wanted him to cover her and push inside her and take her to a place where nothing could touch her.His assertiveness eased. His hand moved soothingly over her back. His damp lips tenderly caressed hers until they broke apart to gasp for air. He tucked her head under his jaw and held her ear against his pounding heart.She rested there, trying to catch her breath, listening to his heart slam, feeling like she’d been running and now the ache of exertion was catching up to her.He was hard, she realized, and she panged again with longing for this to be real, for the

She hadn’t known any kiss could feel like this. like a drug. like a craving. she swept her hands up and down his sides and around to his back, tracing the indent of his spine and urging him to crush her because his weight felt so good against her.“this is all I think about,” he growled against her cheek, thumbs circling and circling her distended nipples, sending runnels of heat and need deep into her loins.His knee barely suggested inserting itself between hers and she flowered open, accepting his hard thigh against her mound with a shaken gasp of gratitude.While the edge of his teeth stole down her neck and he sucked on her earlobe and swept his tickling caress across her breasts, all her focus drilled down to the bright, hot place where his hard thigh pinned itself to her pulsing flesh.She was moving against him, she realized. seeking those sharp, piercing bolts of pleasure. she was as shameless as she was mindless. her hands were clenched in his hair and she was arching and sh

Bennett painted kisses across her shoulders and she inhaled his fresh sun, sea, and hot-man scent, the heat from his body engulfing her. Her nipples puckered against the triangles of her top and she swallowed, noticing there was no moisture left in her mouth. He was plastered against her, and being in his bedroom—a beautifully decorated space dominated by this huge bed—felt incredibly intimate. She felt as if she belonged there, that being in his arms was where she needed to be.No, she was doing it again, reading more into a situation than there was. This was just sex and if she was going to become mushy, then she should roll away and put some distance between them until she regained a modicum of control.His hand settled over her breast and she knew she was fooling herself, she had no intention of applying the brakes to stop this runaway train. Her tongue twisted around his, and she arched her back to press her nipple into his palm. She was putty in his hands...Rachel murmured her

He lifted one eyebrow. ‘Yes?’ he prompted.‘Yes.’Thank God and all his angels and arch angels.Picking up her hands, Bennett tugged her to him so that her lips were an inch from his. ‘Too much talking,’ he murmured. ‘Definitely not enough kissing.’‘I agree,’ she replied, her sweet breath fluttering against his lips.‘Slide your thigh over mine,’ he told her.‘Why?’ she asked but did as he requested.‘So that you’ll be more comfortable when I do this...’ he said before slanting his mouth over hers, tracing the seam of her lips with his tongue.She tasted like the woman he’d met before, as an awesome memory should.

He lifted her, dress riding up at the same time, and sat her on the cold marble of the table by the door.Before she could decide what she thought of that, he pushed her legs apart and stepped between them so they were eye to eye, mouth to mouth...Kissing again. Deeply. Unreservedly.The fine lace of her new Parisian panties snapped.She gasped and closed her teeth on his bottom lip, waiting... There. He touched her, stroking lightly, just a tantalizing caress that made her flesh pulse for more. After a long, breathless moment he easily deepened his caress into her slippery folds.Encouraging him with moans of pleasure, she inched forward and layered on openmouthed kisses, letting him know how good he was making her feel as he caressed her. Velvety waves of pleasure rolled outward from his touch, making her limbs weak and tingly, her core tight and eager.With clumsy fingers, she undid his shirt buttons, wanting to taste his skin.He took his hands off her long enough to yank his shi
