Cruel Prince: A Dark Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance

by Piper Stone

  As much as being in a huge house surrounded by guards twenty-four hours a day could be considered normal. We’d even taken several day trips. He’d been so proud to show me the countryside, taking me to quaint restaurants and cozy shops. He’d even smiled more than frowned, which was a feat in itself.

  Now I stood all alone in a fabulous tasting room owned by the Benedetti Empire. The most beautiful classical music was coming from unseen speakers, the scents of vanilla and cinnamon all around me. Else had outdone herself for the evening making chocolates and other incredible desserts for the special moment he wanted to share.

  He’d selected the purple dress himself, one that reminded me of the frock I’d worn the first night I’d met him. I felt like a princess tonight and all because the man continued to surprise me. Three distinctly different bottles of wine had already been opened, champagne in gorgeous artistic creations of glass.

  The only thing missing was the man I called my husband.

  As I moved toward the table of goodies, swaying in time to the music, I was able to confirm just how happy I truly was. Maybe this was a jaded fairytale, but one I wanted to enjoy, savoring every moment of passion.

  When I felt his presence, my heart skipped several beats. I remained where I was, the sound of his footsteps making me quiver all over. I was breathless when I felt the touch of his hands on my bare shoulders.

  “You look exquisite tonight.”

  His whisper was husky and ripe with hunger. I had the distinct feeling that I might be on the menu tonight.

  “Thank you,” I purred, lolling my head against his shoulder.

  Growling, he pressed a series of kisses against my neck before brushing his fingers down the length of my arm, intertwining his fingers with mine. A sly smile crossed his face as he pulled me against his chest, holding me as tightly as possible. When he began to sway in time to the music, I lifted my eyebrows.

  “You didn’t ask me for a dance, Mr. Benedetti.”

  “No, I didn’t. Remember, I take what I want.” He twirled me several times, the smile remaining.

  He lowered his head, pressing his lips against mine. The kiss was sweet, yet every part of me stirred from an increasing desire. As he slipped his tongue inside, I shivered to my very core. The man could reduce me to a puddle quickly. A few seconds later, he eased away with a husky growl.

  I pushed hard against him, shaking my head. “What do you have up your sleeve?”

  “Who says I have anything?”

  “I know you too well by now. What did you do?”

  He laughed heartedly, still swinging me around the makeshift dancefloor. “I’m sorry for my delay. I was engaged in a conversation with Enzo.”

  “I thought we weren’t going to talk about business.”

  “We’re not, but eventually you’re going to need to.”

  “I don’t understand.”

  “Well, my lovely wife. Enzo has offered not only to help you learn basic Italian, but also to tutor you in Italian law.”

  I continued to press my palm against him. “Why?”

  “If you want to become an attorney in this country, you’re going to have to be reeducated.” The twinkle in his eye was almost amusing.

  “Are you serious?”

  “Yes. You deserve to have your life. However, my offer comes with conditions,” he said in a dominating manner.

  “Of course it does. And what are they?”

  “You will never prosecute a member of the Benedetti Empire.”

  His comment caught me completely off guard. Laughing, I rose onto my tiptoes and pressed a kiss against his cheek. “Oops. You have lipstick on you.”

  “Hmmm… Now what is my wife going to say?”

  “Thank you for this.”

  “I hope you know that you’ve changed my life, my lovely bride.”

  Sighing, I rubbed the back of my fingers across his strong jaw. “I do love you, Matteo.”

  “I know and I will always love you.”

  As he broke away, I couldn’t stop tingling all over. Perhaps all my dreams could come true after all.

  The perfect job.

  A gorgeous place to call home.

  A precious pup.

  And a man I could fall in love with all over again.

  I was startled when he dragged a chair from one of the tables, immediately walking in my direction and taking my hand.

  “What are you doing?” I asked, although I knew what he had in mind.

  “First of all, I’m reminding you who you belong to. And more important, punishing you for all those infractions you’ve had over the last couple of weeks.”

  “That’s not fair.”

  “Very little is.” A grin remained on his face as he sat down in the chair, immediately pulling me over his lap. Without hesitation, he yanked my dress over my hips, bringing his hand down several times.

  As he continued the spanking, making me hot and wet all over, I heard the same words that he’d spoken many times. Only this time, they brought tears to my eyes.

  “La mia bella principessa.”

  Emily Porter saw me kill a man who betrayed my family and she helped put me behind bars. But someone with my connections doesn’t stay in prison long, and she is about to learn the hard way that there is a price to pay for crossing the boss of the King dynasty. A very, very painful price…

  She’s going to cry for me as I blister that beautiful bottom, then she’s going to scream for me as I ravage her over and over again, taking her in the most shameful ways she can imagine. But leaving her well-punished and well-used is just the beginning of what I have in store for Emily.

  King’s Hostage

  When my life was threatened, Michael King didn’t just take matters into his own hands.

  He took me.

  When he carried me off it was partly to protect me, but mostly it was because he wanted me.

  I didn’t choose to go with him, but it wasn’t up to me. That’s why I’m naked, wet, and sore in an opulent Swiss chalet with my bottom still burning from the belt of the infuriatingly sexy mafia boss who brought me here, punished me when I fought him, and then savagely made me his.

  We’ll return when things are safe in New Orleans, but I won’t be going back to my old home.

  I belong to him now, and he plans to keep me.

  King’s Possession

  Her father had to be taught what happens when you cross a King, but that isn’t why Genevieve Rossi is sore, well-used, and waiting for me to claim her in the only way I haven’t already.

  She’s sore because she thought she could embarrass me in public without being punished.

  She’s well-used because after I spanked her I wanted more, and I take what I want.

  She’s waiting for me in my bed because she’s my bride, and tonight is our wedding night.

  I’m not going to be gentle with her, but when she wakes up tomorrow morning wet and blushing her cheeks won’t be crimson because of the shameful things I did to her naked, quivering body.

  It will be because sh
e begged for all of them.

  King’s Toy

  Vincenzo King thought I knew something about a man who betrayed him, but that isn’t why I’m on my way to New Orleans well-used and sore with my backside still burning from his belt.

  When he bared and punished me maybe it was just business, but what came after was not.

  It was savage, it was shameful, and it was very, very personal.

  I’m his toy now, and not the kind you keep in its box on the shelf.

  He’s going to play rough with me.

  He’s going to get me all wet and dirty.

  Then he’s going to do it all again tomorrow.

  It will be me.

  King’s Temptation

  I didn’t think I needed Dimitri Kristoff’s protection, but it wasn’t up to me. With a kingpin from a rival family coming after me, he took charge, took off his belt, and then took what he wanted.

  He knows I’m not used to doing as I’m told. He just doesn’t care.

  The stripes seared across my bare bottom left me sore and sorry, but it was what came after that truly left me shaken. The princess of the King family shouldn’t be on her knees for anyone, let alone this Bratva brute who has decided to claim for himself what he was meant to safeguard.

  Nobody gave me to him, but I’m his anyway.

  Now he’s going to make sure I know it.

  His as Payment

  Caroline Hargrove thinks she is mine because her father owed me a debt, but that isn’t why she is sitting in my car beside me with her bottom sore inside and out. She’s wet, well-used, and coming with me whether she likes it or not because I decided I want her, and I take what I want.

  As a senator’s daughter, she probably thought no man would dare lay a hand on her, let alone spank her thoroughly and then claim her beautiful body in the most shameful ways possible.

  She was wrong. Very, very wrong. She’s going to be mastered, and I won’t be gentle about it.

  Taken as Collateral

  Claimed as Revenge

  Made to Beg

  Sierra Fox showed up at my door to ask for my protection, and I gave it to her… for a price. She belongs to me now, and I’m going to use her beautiful body as thoroughly as I please. The only thing for her to decide is how sore her cute little bottom will be when I’m through claiming her.

  Ruthless

  Treating a mobster shot by a rival’s goons isn’t really my forte, but when a man is powerful enough to have a whole wing of a hospital cleared out for his protection, you do as you’re told.

  To make matters worse, this isn’t first time I’ve met Giovanni Calduchi. It turns out my newest patient is the stern, sexy brute who all but dragged me back to his hotel room a couple of nights ago so he could use my body as he pleased, then showed up at my house the next day, stripped me bare, and spanked me until I was begging him to take me even more roughly and shamefully.

  Now, with his enemies likely to be coming after me in order to get to him, all I can do is hope he’s as good at keeping me safe as he is at keeping me blushing, sore, and thoroughly satisfied.

  Dangerous

  I knew Erik Chenault was dangerous the moment I saw him. Everything about him should have warned me away, from the scar on his face to the fact that mobsters call him Blade. But I was drawn like a moth to a flame, and I ended up burnt… and blushing, sore, and thoroughly used.

  Now he’s taken it upon himself to protect me from men like the ones we both tried to leave in our past. He’s going to make me his whether I like it or not… but I think I’m going to like it.

  Prey

  Within moments of setting eyes on Sophia Waters, I was certain of two things. She was going to learn what happens to bad girls who cheat at cards, and I was going to be the one to teach her.

  But there was one thing I didn’t know as I reddened that cute little bottom and then took her long and hard and oh so shamefully: I wasn’t the only one who didn’t come here for a game of cards.

  I came to kill a man. It turns out she came to protect him.

  Nobody keeps me from my target, but I’m in no rush. Not when I’m enjoying this game of cat and mouse so much. I’ll even let her catch me one day, and as she screams my name with each brutal climax she’ll finally realize the truth. She was never the hunter. She was always the prey.

  Given

  Stephanie Michaelson was given to me, and she is mine. The sooner she learns that, the less often her cute little bottom will end up well-punished and sore as she is reminded of her place.

  But even as she promises obedience with tears running down her cheeks, I know it isn’t the sting of my belt that will truly tame her. It is what comes next that will leave her in no doubt she belongs to me. That part will be long, hard, and shameful… and I will make her beg for all of it.

  Dangerous Stranger

  I came to Spain hoping to start a new life away from dangerous men, but then I met Rafael S
antiago. Now I’m not just caught up in the affairs of a mafia boss, I’m being forced into his car.

  She will try to run, of course, but it won’t be the law that comes after her. It will be me.

  She is my bride. Mine to claim, mine to punish, and mine to use as shamefully as I please. The sting of my belt on her bare bottom will teach her to obey, but obedience is just the beginning.

  I will demand so much more.
