I can feel him harden under me and I know he's big, "Me too. I've been wanting to fuck you since the moment I saw you at the airport." Nate rolls my hips against him, letting me feel his erection. "Tell me." He groans. I gently rock my hips harder against him and lean down to trail kisses down his sharp jawline, "I touched myself with my vibrator, wishing it was you filling me and fucking me." My teeth bite down on his earlobe lightly and he hisses. "Tell me more baby." My hands wrap behind his head and tug at his hair, exposing his neck more as I drag my lips against his neck, "I imagine your head between my thighs, devouring me with that tongue and piercing working its magic and making me come so much. Then when I suck my juices off the vibrator, I wish it was you fucking this dirty little mouth of mine, deep throating me." He groans and I look into his eyes, they're dark and pupils fully dilated. Nate then cups my face and crashes our lips together.

(Original Version) My cousin and I are the only true bloods left in the Thanos Family. I'm eighteen now and my absent father decided to finally take responsibility of having another child. Moving from New York to California wasn't the hard part. The hard part was trying to find the ones who murdered my mother and my grandparents, pretending to be a normal high schooler, and along with that, fighting my feelings for one of my brother's best friends. Didn't I mention that I am also going to be the new Don of our West Coast Empire? I am Gaiana Kallisto Thanos, Mafia Princess, and the best fucking fighter there is. This is book one of the Mafia Duet. WARNING: 18+ Mature scenes and language. _________________________________________ EXCERPT: "I only give respect to those who deserve it, and the only one in this room that deserves it is Alex. Plus you can't call me a slut when you are the one who loves to constantly have her bed warmed with partners. I'm the one in a stable relationship." She gave a smirk. "You sure about that," she asked. She took her phone out and showed me a photo of Luca dressed in what he wore today, escorting Stephany into the passenger seat of his car. I felt my heart drop to my stomach but didn't outwardly show it. Years of being able to turn off my emotions come in handy. "Well there goes that." I looked into her eyes. "What? Did you expect me to drop to the floor and cry? Honey, you don't know me. And you never will because I'm moving out." I looked at my father and said, "It was nice meeting you but I'm good. I'll pack my stuff and be out by tonight." _________________________________________ Start: March 30, 2018 End: August 31, 2018 Copyrighted 2018
