Commanding Thirst: Mafia Romance (Rough Redemption Book 2)

by Olivia Fox

  The Incan god grew agitated, shooting off flames behind the giant spinning wheel that promised winning prizes in different sizes: mini, minor, major… and I’ll be damned if the blasted thing didn’t come to a painstaking stop, landing on “grand.”

  “Holy shit, does that number mean what I think it means?” I put my fingers up to my mouth, rubbing them back and forth across my lips.

  “If you’re thinking seventy thousand big ones, you’re darn tootin’.” Horace sounded as pleased as if he won the money himself. “All you have to do is hit that payout button and claim your prize. Here comes one of the floor managers to help.”

  My eyes locked on the numbers over my head as if they might puff away like a cloud of smoke, “I don’t know what this little guy’s name is,” reaching a hand up to the screen, I stroked the intimidating, gilded-faced dude with the green flaming hair and skeleton teeth, “but he’s beginning to grow on me.”

  Tomorrow, I thought.

  Tomorrow my feelings will kick in.

  Give it time.

  “Apu-punchau,” a familiar voice husked the name, and before I could stop it, my pussy was purring in response.

  Not that he needed to know that.

  “Gesundheit” I said.

  “Apu-punchau. The name of the god bringing you good luck tonight. Yours is the biggest take of the evening so far.” His words vibrated through me, and for the first time since Bobby’s disappearance, I wanted to feel my existence. Even though his next words were more of a promise than a threat, “Just in the nick of time, Tessa. I kept them at bay as long as I could, but we’re not running a charity operation here.”

  His hot breath landed on my bare shoulder, and a hum of pleasure slipped from my lips; my entire body longed to slip into him like a warm tub.

  It wasn’t right.

  I should be in mourning, or at the very least, sick with worry.

  Not luxuriating in the sweet sensation of Enzo Drago’s voice dripping all over my skin.

  He reached out his hand to pull me off the stool, the inked bands which looped around his bulging arms concealed beneath the premium quality business shirt sewn in Europe. Every inch of me lit up like a slot machine flashing the high winning payout, with the burning, urgent need to possess him.

  WTF?

  Fiancé missing.

  One day I’m in debt to the Dragos and the next, I have everything I need to pay the bills.

  Thrilling at the thought of my dad’s best friend moving inside me should not be at the top of my agenda right now.

  I needed another drink to calm my ass down.

  “Come with me to claim your winnings, Tessa.” The cut of his tux, and the regal assurance that all Drago men possessed as if they exited the womb a burning hot jackpot winner, intoxicated my senses like rum had replaced all of my blood.

  I stumbled a little, getting off the stool, and he grabbed my elbow to lead me past the crowd that gathered, steadying me.

  It wasn’t the best idea to follow him like a lost puppy, given my outstanding debt to his family’s empire.

  But that was before I learned he controlled not only the stakes but also the rules of the game.

  Enzo had already made up his mind to treat me like a toy. He’d play with me even though my fiancé, Bobby, was a missing person who nobody, besides me, missed at all.

  Get Obsessive Thirst

  An Italian mobster. A missing fiancé. A forbidden obsession he cannot resist.

  Enzo Drago:

  I watch her like a hawk.

  Someone has to. My best friend’s daughter has a knack for getting herself into trouble.

  Turns out, protecting her isn’t as easy as I expected.

  She doesn’t realize I’m obsessed with her. Watching over her when she has no clue I’m there. Taking photos to stare at later on, privately, satisfying my urges while looking at her hot pics.

  My vow to keep my hands off her is impossible when she follows me around like a lost puppy. Does she tempt me on purpose? Or is that the wishful thinking of a beaten and battered, middle-aged gangster?

  Tessa’s clueless about how much trouble her outstanding debt to the Dragos will bring.

  I kept them at bay as long as I could, but we’re not running a charity operation here.

  Crazy chemistry aside, I’m the wrong guy for her — a monster disguised in an expensive suit.

  But no matter how hard I try to resist, I can’t stop thinking of making her my toy.

  Showing her the rules of my game.

  Risking just one touch to fulfill a forever fantasy.

  She is sunshine and I am darkness, and I assumed I controlled the stakes between us.

  But now Tessa’s in real trouble.

  You can bet your life on it, there’s going to be hell to pay.
