Ryan

What the fuck am Idoing?I kept asking myself as I splashed my face with water. Sienawantedme. She didn’t have to tell me; I’d felt her need for me in her body when we’d kissed.

I was supposed to put Carlo, and in turn, Tony before all this shit, but the more I learned about how Siena felt about me, the more Carlo and his family slipped from my mind.

I couldn’t fight this. I wanted her so fucking much, and knowing she felt the same way meant that, at some point, we would break. There might have been too much at stake, but we were at the point of no return.

I’d jerked off in one of Carlo’s guest bathrooms when I left the kitchen. Yeah, I’m a pervert, but after getting my hands on Siena again, even if it was only for a few short moments, it had stirred up all the memories of our time together.

God, I hoped that Siena had moved from the kitchen when I surfaced fifteen minutes later. I groaned internally as I spotted her, still there in that motherfucking robe, sipping a cup of coffee as I walked back in. She was practically naked under that robe, and I felt my cock begin to stir again. Stay the fuck down!

“Is everything okay, Ryan?” Siena smirked, crossing her legs. She knew what she was doing to me, and I fucking loved her for it.

“I needed to relieve a little...pressure.” I chuckled, putting my hands through my hair. Why was my body burning? What was this aching inside of me? A woman had never made me feel this way before.

“I can imagine,” Siena mused, her eyes roaming down towards my crotch. I needed to change the direction of this conversation right now. My dick couldn’t take much more of the fucking teasing.

“I’ve taken over the East District. If you were wondering why Tony has trashed the place, that’s why,” I muttered, taking a step back. I needed to keep my distance. My dick felt like sonar in search of her sweet pussy.

“I did hear that,” she stated, standing up. I became lost, watching her robe slip off her shoulder again. My lips had been there less than thirty minutes ago. “Do you think it’s wise? I mean, Tony is never going to accept you taking over his district.”

“I have to clean up his shit. Once everything is running again, he can have it back!” I snapped, still looking at her bare shoulder.

“Always the big man, I see,” she teased. “Well, I’m going to bed now, Ryan .” I gulped. My mouth began to water, wishing I could join her. “I take it you’re going to wait until Tony gets back?” I nodded, swallowed hard, and tried to fight my stifling desire. “Are you staying here for your benefit or for mine?”

“Yours, Trixie. It’s always been for your benefit.” She was gazing up at me now, her tiny frame pressed against my chest.

“Will you ever stop trying to protect me?” Her voice was a soft whisper.

I gently moved my hand, threading my fingers softly through her hair. It was pure silk, just like I had remembered. “As long as I have a breath in my body, I will keep on protecting you,” I murmured.

Siena gasped a little, pulling away quickly from my hold. “Goodnight, Ryan.”

“Sweet dreams, Trixie,” I called as she began to climb the grand staircase.Dream of me,I wanted to add, but then I thought,When did I turn into a motherfucking pussy?

Tony came back late that night, completely wasted. That was easier for me; I watched Adam dump him on the living room couch once he had passed out.

“I know what you are trying to do, Ryan,” Adam spat just before he was about to leave.

“Excuse me?” He really shouldn’t be starting this with me. I was in no mood for this shit right now.

“You really expect us to believe you don’t want to be top dog? It’s all playing into your hands, isn’t it?”

“I don’t want it, Adam, and I don’t give a fuck what you think anyway!” I snarled. “If Tony and you boys were doing your jobs properly, I wouldn’t need to come and clean up after you.”

“We had it under control!” he growled.

“You have been losing shipments left, right and center! No one respects you or the work you do. How many protection payouts were you unable to collect this month, huh? Payouts thatIhad to go get because you guys fucking couldn’t!” I laughed in disbelief. Adam was fucking delusional. “None of this matters. Carlo made his decision.Carlois who I follow, who I’d fuckingdiefor. We are all on the same fucking side and it’s aboutdamntime Tony realized that.”

“Who will you follow when Carlo is no longer around?” Adam smirked. The fucker and I both knew the moment Carlo died, Tony would put a bullet in my head. Like I’d said before, I wouldn’t go down without a fight.

“You and I both know what will happen when Carlo is no longer here.” I glared just as Carlo returned home.

“Mr. Valenti,” Adam dropped his eyes, “I’ve brought Tony home. I’m afraid he’s had a little too much to drink. Would you like me to carry him upstairs to his room?” No fucking way! Tony wasn’t going anywhere near Siena in that state.
