The Bodyguard's Weakness: An Accidental Marriage Mafia Romance (Scaliami Crime Syndicate)
Page 11
“Yes sir.”
He turns his gaze to Tomas, and then Giovani. “Shoot these bastards.”
“With pleasure,” Dominic growls.
“Signores!” The priest shakes his head and waves his hands. “This is a church!”
My grandfather groans. “Okay. Then take them out back and then shoot—”
“The Scaliami’s are going to burn in hell!” Tomas suddenly roars. I scream when he pulls a small pistol out of his tuxedo. He snarls like a cornered animal. He raises the gun and aims it right at my chest. The gun goes off with a loud bang. I scream again… but I’m fine.
I blink in shock. Tomas slumps to the ground. When I look up, I see smoke curling from the end of Dominic’s gun.
“Seize them!” Michael roars. Suddenly, the whole church is chaos. The Scaliami men and the Mendino crews come together hard. But the Scaliamis outnumber Giovani’s men four to one. There are fights, but even without guns, it’s over in less than two minutes.
Suddenly, Dominic is rushing towards me. I grin, and I start to run too. We crash together halfway down the altar steps. His strong arms hold me tight before he pulls back.
“It was never pretend,” he growls. “It was never an accident. Or a mistake. It was always just you.”
“Dominic…”
“It’s always been you, BabyBella99.”
I freeze. My face goes white. “What did you just say.”
“You heard me,” he grins.
I stare at him. “How... how do you…”
“I heard you were visiting the states.” He smiles and shrugs. “So what do you think? Should we get that coffee or a drink?”
My mouth falls open. My heart races.
“How is this real?” I whisper.
“Because you’ve always been mine,” he growls. “And I love you, Lucia.”
“I love you too,” I gasp. Our lips finally do come together, and I kiss him with every part of my soul.
Someone clears their throat loudly. We pull apart. I turn and gasp to see my grandfather standing there.
“Grandpapa…” I blush. “I…”
“I do not need an explanation,” he says quietly.
Dominic frowns, but he stands tall. “Sir—"
My grandfather holds a hand up though. He shakes his head. “No, I don’t need any explanation, Mr. Ferrari. I was wrong. This wedding is wrong. But this?” He smiles at both of us. “This is right. What I was thinking was wrong, but this is right.”
“Thank you,” I whisper. He smiles and turns to Dominic.
“You,” he jabs Dom in the chest and frowns. “You will not hurt her?”
“Never, sir.”
“You will not dishonor her.”
“Never.”
You will protect her, I know that.”
“I will.”
He shrugs. “Then so be it. If she is happy?” He smiles at me. “Topolina, all I ever want is for you to be happy.”
“He makes me very happy, grandpapa,” I whisper.
“Then good.”
I have to tell him. I know it feels like the big happy ending. But I can’t lie to him anymore. He has to know.
“Grandpapa, I have to…” I look down at my hand. “I need to tell you something.”
“Anything, mi amore,” he says gently.
I hold my hand up. The ring glints in the light.
“We… in Las Vegas…”
He stares at the ring. He blinks and turns to Dominic. “This is true?”
“Yes,” Dom grunts. “Except, no.”
I frown. “What?”
“We’re not,” he says gently and turns to me. “Not really.”
“Dom…”
He chuckles. “It, uh… it turns out Jimmy and Teri are a couple of scammers. They’re not actually ordained.”
I stare in shock. “Wait, you mean we’re not actually…”
“Not legally.”
I start to laugh. I throw myself into his arms, and I kiss him. My grandfather sighs and chuckles to himself. He crosses himself and turns to walk back over to Micheal.
“Well, we are in a church.”
I smile and look up into Dominic’s eyes. “We barely know each other.”
“I think it’s slightly more than barely,” he growls. I blush.
“I am wearing this dress and I have to say, I look hot in this.”
He groans. “You really do.”
“I’ll remind you that we’re in church.”
“Too late. I’m full of all sorts of impure thoughts.”
I grin. I squeeze his hands tightly. “Same,” I blush.
Dom grins. “We’ve got the rings already, too.”
“And a priest.”
He sighs. “It all sounds great. But the thing is…”
“What?” I frown at him.
“I mean, you are a bit of a brat.”
I laugh. “And you’re a prick.”
He grins, and so do I. Then he turns to my grandfather. “Don Salvestro?”
My grandfather turns away from talking to Michael. “Si?”
“Could I have a moment?”
My grandfather grins. “For?”
“I have something very important to ask your permission for.”
“Well, at least you are asking this time,” my grandfather smiles.
Twenty minutes later, we’re face to face. We’re out in the courtyard of the church, wearing jackets. I mean, I’m not getting married over blood stains or a dead body.
The priest finishes the words. Dominic and I both say I do.
“I now pronounce you, man, and wife!”
“Again,” Dominic whispers.
I grin as his mouth crushes to mine in a fierce kiss. I wrap my arms around my husband, this time, for real.
For real, and for forever.
Epilogue
Dominic
“Oh fuck, Dominic!”
She moans under me. I growl, gripping her hips tightly. My big hands circle her waist. Her tight, curvy ass pushes back against my abs when I thrust. I slide one hand higher and wrap her hair in my fist. I hiss and start to fuck her even harder, just like she’s craving it.
“Oh fuck!”
There it is. She moans gutturally. The sheets are balled into her fists, and she moans into them. Behind her, I groan and pound my fat cock into her. Her hot little pussy squeezes my dick so tightly. She’s so pink and tight wrapped like a glove around my shaft. I’m glistening from her; slick with her lust.
I snarl and pound into her harder. I grip her ass and her hair, and I give her every inch. My abs slap against her ass. Her pussy quivers and squeezes around me.
“Dom! Oh God, Dom!”
I sink in deep, and she starts to come for me, hard. She writhes beneath me on the sheets. She screams into them as her orgasm rocks through her gorgeous body. I keep on thrusting, until with a groan, I bury my cock to the hilt. My balls surge with my release, and my hot, sticky cum pours into her.
I hold her hips tight with my hands. My cock throbs and twitches deep in her pretty pussy, until she’s taken every drop. I lean over and kiss her neck, and between her shoulder blades. Lucia purrs with happiness.
I slowly pull out of her with a groan. Pearly white cum drips lewdly from her puffy, freshly fucked pussy. I run my thumb down between her lips. She whimpers when I rub my cum over her clit.
“Oh, my God, you’re insatiable.”
“You do this to me, babygirl,” I growl.
“Oh, do I?”
“Yes,” I grin. I roll onto my side. Lucia snuggles into me. We both look out the window at the bright blue Mediterranean Sea. It’s been a hell of a honeymoon so far.
After all the shit that went down that day, things have calmed down a little. When we dug into it, it turned out that Tomas was actually acting outside of his father’s knowledge. He was actually planning on taking out his own fucking father to take over the entire Mendino family.
So, we didn’t go to war with them
or anything. But there’s still bad blood there. It may have been warranted a hundred different ways. Tomas may have been plotting to stab us in the back. He may have plotted to kill his own father. And for fuck’s sake, he was pointing a gun at Lucia.
Giovani gets all of that. But, I did kill his son. That’s not going to just go away. There won’t be a war over it though, at least. With tempers still a little on edge, Lucia and I opted for one of the many Scaliami owned estates scattered around Sicily and southern Italy.
It’s safe, secure, and absolutely private. And we’ve spent the last month screwing on maybe every single surface of the place.
“Ready to head back to the real world tomorrow?”
I chuckle and kiss her forehead. What really is the “real” world? After all, against all odds, I managed to find the girl of my dreams. I managed to not get shot getting her, too. I even managed to marry her, twice. Or sort of at least.
I’m married to the heiress to one of the most powerful crime families in the world. I’m not sure that quantifies “real world” at all. But I’ll take it.
She’s right though. Tomorrow, we fly back to New York. My work is there, and Lucia’s taken a real shine to the city. She’ll be finishing up her degree in economics at Columbia. It’s not like a girl with her fortune and connections needs college. But I love that she’s doing it anyways. Also, she’s a goddamn genius, and at the top of her class.
We’ve got a new penthouse apartment waiting for us. And I’ve got my new job to get started on. Yeah, I’ve been promoted again. Saving the entire organization from internal destruction and stopping a psychopath from killing the Don’s granddaughter will do that, I guess.
“Tomorrow it is,” I growl. My cock thickens against her. “Guess that means we’ve got until our flight to make sure we covered every surface in the place.”
She blushes. “You really are insatiable, aren’t you?”
“Like I said, babygirl,” I growl. She trembles. “You do this to me.”
“Oh, do I?” Her eyes burn with lust. “Do I, daddy?”
I groan. Lucia squeals in delight when I roll her onto her back and slide between her legs.
“I love you, baby,” I growl.
“I love you too.”
My lips seek hers. And then I’m found.

The Hitman’s Obsession
Available now on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited!
I was born into a dark kingdom. I’m a mob princess—a pretty little flower in a gilded cage. No boys ever climbed my tower. No men ever got through the walls built around me.
* * *
No one, except Vincent Cave.
* * *
My bodyguard, my shadow. My gruff, silent, watchful guardian angel. A teddy bear to me, but a savage to anyone who’d seek to harm me.
* * *
First he was my innocent crush. Then, it wasn’t so innocent.
* * *
Eleven years older, and utterly gorgeous. Eyes that make my knees weak, arms I could get lost in, and lips that mine wanted to taste since I knew lips could do that.
* * *
I’m back after three years away at boarding school. I thought that would cure me, but there’s no cure for Vincent Cave. Not when three years have made him hardened, and growlier, and even more irresistible.
* * *
When the danger he always shielded me from comes calling, it’s Vincent and me, alone, on the run.
* * *
I’ve grown up. He’s noticed.
* * *
It was just a crush. Now, it’s just dangerous.

The Boss’s Temptation
Available now on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited!
I’m torn between a hero I don’t know, and a monster who makes my knees weak.
I come from Bratva royalty. But this is no fairytale, and I’m no princess. Right now, I’m a bartering chip. I’m being pushed to marry the cold, hardened kingpin boss of the Scaliami crime syndicate to smooth over a wrong I didn’t commit.
He’s known as a savage. A cold and calculating villain. He’s a monster, and yet he’s also captivatingly gorgeous. He’s twice my age. He makes me think forbidden thoughts I’ve never had before. He makes me crave things I shouldn’t.
Years ago, I fell for a hero. But now I’m losing my mind for a villain. One is the fantasy. The other is my future. And the lines between them are blurring by the second.
But there’s more to this than meets the eye. The walls are closing in. My own criminal family wants me to play the double agent. Outside forces want to use me against him.
But he just wants me. He wants me to scream his name. He wants to make me his in every possible way. And God help me, I want him to.
