Page 481 of Sinfully Savage Mafia

I follow the security guard around a corner and he stops just outside of a door, waving me inside. I push open the door, and before I’ve had even a second to see who’s inside, a powerful right hook sends me into the door frame.

“Fuck!” I groan, holding a hand to my flaming hot jaw, pain shooting upward into my brain from the blow.

I turn my head toward the direction of the punch and see one of the girls from the club last night glaring at me, her hands on her hips. In this second, I can’t even remember my own name, much less hers.

“Okay, Kat, back off,” Alek says, sitting behind his desk.

She narrows her eyes at me and flips me off before flouncing over to a chair and sinking into it.

“Can I ask what the fuck that was for?” I thunder.

“Sit down,” Alek orders.

“No, I’m not sitting down!” I shout. “Tell me what the hell is going on and then I’ll decide if I want to sit!”

The door opens again and Kazimir struts in, holding a cup of coffee. “What the hell is up, Alek? Why’re you dragging my ass outta bed so early?”

“Shut the fucking door,” Alex hisses, flipping a monitor around so we can all see a gallery of security feeds blinking on the large screen. “Do you see this?” he says to me.

“Yeah…” I squint at the small tiles. “So what? You’ve got surveillance over your hotel. Great.”

“Not great,” he growls, pointing at one of the tiles. “Do you see that?”

I lean closer, recognizing Lily in the frame. She’s grinding her hips against me as I attack her neck with my lips. “Oh. Well, shit. Looks like I’m a movie star.”

Kat jumps out of her chair and grabs me by the shirt. “What the fuck were you thinking?”

“What’s the problem?” I yell. “Kazimir told me to fuck a cocktail waitress, for Christ’s sake!”

“She’s not a cocktail waitress!” Kat shrieks.

“Look, I’m sorry if I did anything to offend your friend, but it was nothing. Just a little fun.” I shrug, reclining in the chair once Kat lets go of my shirt.

“You were told to fuck a cocktail waitress, not the only daughter of Joe Salesi,” Alek seethes. “As in the Salesi crime family. As in the Salesis who are considering becoming part of this syndicate! Do you realize that what you did could completely fuck up our plans to bring him in? And your own plans, for that matter?”

I push back my hair. “Listen, we messed around a little bit. It was nothing. Don’t get your dick in a twist.”

Alek gets up and walks around to face me. “Listen, asshole. I worked very hard to get Salesi on board. He needed a lot of fucking convincing. When you took care of that hit for him, it was supposed to be an assurance that you could work together. We need his money and influence. If he finds out what the hell happened between you two, him pulling out of the syndicate will be the least of your concerns. His daughter is off limits, do you understand? You don’t look at her, you don’t think about her, and you don’t jerk off to her. You’re here to do a job, and in that description, there’s nothing written about pleasure, you got that? Pussy isn’t one of the fringe benefits.”

“She’s a big girl,” I say. “I think she can make her own decisions about who she wants to screw around with.”

Kat lets out a frustrated yell. “You really are dumber than you look! Joe Salesi doesn’t want Lily anywhere close to his organization or this life! She’s smart and has her whole life ahead of her. The last thing he wants is for her to be fingered by some fucking thug, exactly the type of guy he’s trying to protect her from! I thought you could be trusted.” She turns and glares at Kaz. “I guess I was wrong.”

“Hey, I barely know the fucking guy!” Kaz exclaims. “How is this my fault?”

I stand up from the chair. “You know, you’ve got a lot of fucking nerve dragging me down here for this bullshit. I didn’t know who she was, and if he’s gonna turn his back on you because I hooked up with his daughter, then pull the plug on us joining your little club!” I turn around to Kazimir. “If you wanted me to stay away from her, you should’ve sent a hooker to my fucking room to keep me occupied!”

Alek’s face darkens. “We’ll do whatever damage control we need to do. In the meantime, you’re free to go. I got word that Domenico Messina landed in Sicily eight hours ago. Looks like you’re safe to move on to your own hotel.”

I let out a sarcastic laugh as I turn toward the door. “Oh, and thanks for the fucking hospitality. It was an experience I’ll never forget.”

Alek narrows his blue eyes to slits. “Remember what I said, or else you won’t be safe anywhere. Or from anyone.”

“Come on, Alek,” I grumble. “You think I’m ever gonna be safe again?”
