Page 7 of Sinfully Savage Mafia

“Did you hear what I said?” His voice rises in a slight panic and blood ices in my veins.

“But Dante…

Sergio sucks in a breath. “He’s there? Tell me you didn’t drag him down with you.”

I don’t answer, studying the face of the woman whose gun is now level with my gaze. There’s a five-pointed star , the telltale mark of theStidda, peeking out of the top of her dress.

She’s an operative for Salvo.

But where the fuck is Dante?

“You need to find him, now, before it’s too late.”

“Why?” I clutch the phone in my hand, straining my ear to hear Sergio’s next words. And I almost wish I hadn’t.

“Because you’re not the only one who’s looking for Salvo. And if you guys don’t get out of there now?—”

The blonde fists my hair, yanking my head backward. Startled, I drop the phone and it shatters on the floor. Her lips curl upward into a sinister smirk. “It will be too late,” she seethes, finishing my brother’s sentence. “Forallof you.”

The stiletto knife strapped to my calf burns my skin as a reminder of what we’re trained to do when people makes threats against us.

“Did you really think you were going to crash Salvo’s party and get out without being noticed?” she purrs against my ear. “Someone as hot and sexy as you, Matteo?”

With a lick of her lips, she lowers the gun so it’s pointed at my throat. “I’m glad I was assigned to you. I figured a guy who looked like you wouldn’t be worth a damn with a weapon. You’re too gorgeous to be dangerous.” She leans forward and brushes her lips against the side of my face. “I was right. Pretty but useless.”

My fingers twitch, aching to grab the blade and jam it into her neck. But I fight the urge since I still don’t know who she is or what she wants with me…other than to fuck me then kill me.

“Where is Salvo?”

The blonde giggles and moves closer to me. “Maybe he’s with Dante. Your master assassin brother.” She uses air quotes for the master assassin part and it fuels my rage. This bitch is going down hard.

“Take me to him.”

“You think you’re making the rules tonight, Matteo?” She scoffs. “Please. You’re in our territory now. You’re playing our game and spoiler alert, we’re gonna win because we have for a long time. Your family is finished. Coming here tonight was stupid because you’re not leaving.” She hisses her last words, murder glittering in her dark blue eyes.

I rake my eyes down the length of her body than raise my gaze to hers. She flashes a self-satisfied smirk, but really, she shouldn’t be so ready to claim victory.

“You like what you see?”

“I’d like to do more than just look.” I lift my hand to her thigh but she grasps my wrist, wrenching it away from her. I swallow a smile.

She doesn’t even realize she just gave me everything.

Once she flings my hand back at me, she runs her fingers down the front of my shirt and pants, stopping when they rest on my cock.

The blonde lifts an eyebrow and leans closer. “Pretty impressive.”

“It’s even better in person.” I keep my eyes focused on hers because I’ve already seen what I need to see…what’s going to save my ass once I leave here tonight.

With the one hand now tugging at my belt, she yanks me close. “A quickie before I plug you? Pun intended.”

Perfect.

I loop one arm around her waist as she dips her head toward mine. Before I can taste her lips, the stiletto knife is in my other hand. I thrust the blade right into her jugular. Her eyes fly open wide, her hand lifting to the knife handle. She falls backward, gurgling. Her body spasms. I grab the handle and pull it out of her neck. Blood rushes from the wound, pooling under her.

I don’t have a second to spare admiring my handiwork so I reach behind her leg and grab the phone strapped to her thigh. The gun is still clenched in her lifeless fingers so I take that too. Using the edge of her dress, I wipe off my blade and stick it into my pocket before rushing to the door to find Dante.

Fuck. I need to unlock the damn phone to find out what I need about Salvo.
