2024-10-29 19:42:56"why do the soldiers do all the dirty work?" Bianca asked her uncle Luigi. it was forty five minutes after eight in the morning and her uncle showed her around the warehouse behind their house. even after all her uncle Luigi taught her yesterday, her mom still insisted on her learning afresh today again. her mom had suddenly turned to a disciplinarian since her dad's death. she guessed the passing of her father was still taking its toll on her mom.
"they have the lowest ranks in all mafia families" answered her uncle Luigi
"oh" she exclaimed "what about the capos?" she asked
"they have a higher rank than the soldiers" he said "they are assigned to take care of the soldiers"
"how?" she didn't understand
"each capo is assigned a particular amount of soldiers, to control and give them orders " her uncle explained
"are the soldiers usually bigger than the capos?" she asked
"it isn't always like that" he said "in most cases, yes"
so mafia families were all about hierarchy? this was a new experience. she squealed mentally, she liked learning new things
"so when new people are initiated into the mafia, what rank will they start from?" she asked
"that depends on the boss" he then clarified "that depends on you, Bianca"
she gulped. she'd forgotten why she was learning all these in the first place, that she was learning to be don of. the mafia. since her mom was so serious about this whole family thing, couldn't her mom be the boss instead of her? maybe her mom had a reason for training her to be a boss. maybe it was her destiny.
"but normally, when a group of potential mobsters get newly inducted into the mafia, they become soldiers" her uncle Luigi explained further
"what then will happen to the soldiers who were already in the mafia?" an intrigued Bianca asked
"some of them get promoted to capos, according to their performance " he said "the higher the rank, the higher the pay"
"capos can't get promoted?"
"yes" he said " the next rank after the capo is the underboss"
"how does the underboss become the underboss" she asked "how did you become the underboss?"
"your dad trusted me" he said to her "look, Bianca, everything depends on you. whichever way you bend the rules is okay. you're the don now, the mafia don chooses the person he or she trusts the most to be his or her right hand man " he explained.
her uncle Luigi said it like she was going to be a boss right now. she wasn't ready to be a boss, she wasn't sure if she could will herself to order any one around.
not just yet.
"and finally, we'll talk about our mafia associates" said her uncle
"what about them?"
"they aren't members of our family, but they help us get bad stuff done" he said
"they can be in form of lawyers, officers, politicians and you know the rest"
"oh!" was all she could manage. this business was truly a complex one, but it was her family's legacy.
"why does the mafia make up of a family? the soldiers aren't my family members?"
"it's been called that for generations now. I don't know, Bianca, the name 'family' traces back to the generation before us" he explained.
"I see" she said
"so Bianca, that's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow" he said
"okay, thanks Zu"
"my pleasure " he said and left her.
she stood in the warehouse and continued looking at the place as her uncle gave orders around.
Her phone suddenly rang and she picked it.
"hi babe" it was Matt. her darned ex boyfriend who didn't care to comfort her when her dad died.
"what do you want?"
"I miss you, Bianca, that's why I called"
"you didn't miss me all this time? you didn't miss me when my dad died?" she asked, her voice laced with sarcasm.
"I figured you weren't lying to me" he said with a low voice
"okay. look Matt, I've got things to do with---"
"I'm sorry babe, I admit I was a jerk..."
"a total jerk" she interjected in a sour tone
"I'm sorry I didn't call when I heard about your dad's death. I felt betrayed because I thought you were cheating on me" he gushed "Kim told me everything" she said
"how convenient for you to believe Kim when she tells you the truth but you disbelieve me when I tell you the truth"
"I'm truly sorry. I---"
"you dumped me on the day I heard about my dad's death" she said as tears well up in her eyes " you couldn't even wait...."
"Bianca let me---"
"how could you date me for over seven months and harbor a feeling of distrust through out our relationship?"
"I really do love you. I couldn't think straight after we broke up" he said "I wanted to reach out to you but then I heard you've gone back to Italy"
"yes, Matt" she firmly said " the world doesn't revolve around you. my dad died!" that realisation still pained her soul. she wished for the thousandth time that her dad was here with her.
"let me make it up to you" he offered
"you left me when I fucking needed you! what could you possibly do to make up for that?"
"I want to see you "
Bianca scoffed. how did he plan to do that?
"I'm not at Los Angeles, Matt " she told him
"I know. I want to travel to Italy to see you"
"I don't know, Matt"
"all I need is a yes from you, then I'll be there before you know it"
she didn't know what to say. a part of her still wasn't over her ex boyfriend and she wanted to see him. but then she thought about Lorenzo. she didn't know where she was going with him and she didn't care. she wanted to continue to hang out with him. she wanted to continue seeing him and getting to know him. she didn't crave Matt's company the way she craved Lorenzo's. she had to choose between the both of them.
"we are over, Matt" she said to him "you made that clear when you accused and dumped me "
"please let me make it up to you "
"you should have said this when the pain of losing my dad was heavy on me" she said, recalling the anguish she felt "when I suffered so badly and I needed someone... you should have told me this when I still loved you"
there was silence at the other end of the line. Matt finally said
"there's someone else right?"
"that shouldn't be your problem, considering the fact that you are now my ex" she said in an icy tone.
"don't call me again Matt" she hissed "and I don't want you to visit me"
she disconnected the call as
she made her way out of the warehouse. it was twelve o clock now and her mom wasn't at home. she had to get ready to meet up with Lorenzo.

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.

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.

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
