that in life, playing fair will only get you so far. We play to win, at all costs. I thought courting her would work, but you were right, she grew up accustomed to nice things, so it never would’ve had the same effect on her as it did with Grace. You took me by surprise, however, telling the Irish it was Dante Vendetti in those offices and not your wife. Way to assure they’d seek retribution and hit hard. I’m sure they’re stirring up more trouble for the Empire as we speak.”

I shrug. “Dante made the mistake of believing I wasn’t onto him from the moment he stepped foot into Chi-town. Bloody smug New Yorkers, the lot of them, always peering down their noses at the syndicate, at our crew. Too many chaps run their no good mouths. It was only a matter of waiting on the right intel. Once Mario had mentioned the Irish looking for Vendettis, it all fell right into place. For the Empire having so many enemies, it should’ve been done already.”

“And they were too foolish to know you belong to the syndicate, that the henchman is British.” He chuckles, thoroughly amused at their ignorance.

I snicker. “Perhaps I’m not a proper mobster if my details haven’t made the rounds with them. Sounds a bit of a challenge, if you ask me. I should teach them a lesson for not doing their research.”

He shakes his head. “We can use this to our advantage, your lack of details amongst them. You, my friend, can plant some seeds in their ears. They’ll be at war with the Vendettis in no time and keeping them off our backs. I’ll be left at the table, alone, to reign over Chicago. Frankly, I’m surprised you didn’t kill any of those convicts, especially seeing as they messed up that face of yours. You must’ve wanted this to work out badly to leave them breathing and all.”

“I killed them at Isa’s office, so it worked out. None of them had a chance to speak. It’s a dangerous game you’re playing with Dante, mate,” I warn. Those seem to be the ones I enjoy the most though.

“Aren’t they all? And yet we grow stronger.”

“Touché.”

“Go home and fuck your wife, Max. Your secrets are safe with me. All of them. As are mine with you.”

I’ll take them to the grave.

I enter the flat, discovering my provocative wife on the couch amongst the ridiculous amount of throw pillows she’s added. She’s alluring in her satin nighty, especially since I know the fancy material will soon be on the floor where it belongs for the remainder of the night. She’s far too stunning to waste time wearing clothes when I’m around. “Aren’t you a positively brilliant sight.”

She beams a wide smile in return, hopping off her arse to come at me. I open my arms, tucking her curves against my solid frame. “I ordered us sushi. Don’t worry, I didn’t answer the door.” She’s learning how to be my wife, and that pleases me, knowing I’ll get to keep her forever.

“Mm,” I murmur, running my hands down her back to rest on the perky globes of her arse. She has the best behind I’ve ever seen and touched. It’s one of my favorite parts on her. “Hop up, love,” I order, lifting her until she wraps those luscious thighs of hers around my waist. “Sushi sounds delicious, but I’d rather eat your pussy first. Tell me, are you wet for me? Will I find you dripping?”

“Max,” she gasps, her gaze instantly heating. She loves it when I lick her until she screams. One orgasm is never enough. I want her quaking from them, always going through her days satisfied.

I carry her to the counter separating the living area and kitchen, setting her down. The marble’s cool against her warm silky flesh, but she doesn’t complain, only grins as I push her backwards. My hands glide over her shapely thighs, pushing the satin material up until her pussy is before me. I groan at the sight. Her waxed cunt with a middle strip beckons me, welcoming my tongue and touch with her dripping juices.

“How hungry are you?” she goads, spreading her thighs wide. She’s never one to shy from showing me what she wants. It’s beyond sexy when the vixen in her comes out.

“Bloody ravished,” I manage before my mouth is on her core. I open wide, sucking as much of her at once, relishing in her cry. I
