Mafia Obsession

Kane

What the hell did you do?” Rick asks, pacing the floor of his office. His muscles are tense under his expensive tailored suit.

I don’t envy my brother and his position in the slightest. The weight of his crown weighs heavy on his head. Although Rick is my younger brother by two years, he always had the natural ability to lead. Whereas I had the natural ability to fight and win. He was the right guy to become the boss of the mafia when our father was murdered.

Rick is more intelligent and calculating. Leo, our younger brother, is standing by the bookshelf, leaning against it and watching with an amused smirk on his lips. He has a mix of both of our skills. He sure as hell knows how to handle himself in a fight, but he’s quick thinking and intelligent too.

I shrug. “Alex Cavino offered her to me, so I took her.”

Rick stops pacing and glares at me. “We don’t own women, Kane. What the hell were you thinking?”

As I consider his question, the answer isn’t one he’d want to hear. I wasn’t thinking, not really. My cock was doing all the thinking when I agreed to Cavino’s deal and took his step-daughter home with me.

She’s locked in my room upstairs after she passed out in the car. Not exactly the best reaction when you tell a woman you want to keep her forever. I had to carry her up there. “Why would I say no when I was offered a pretty woman?”

Rick growls a low noise, before turning around and sitting behind his desk. “Somehow, I’ve got to fix this mess.” He runs a hand through his

golden-brown hair. “What man gives away his own step-daughter to the damn mob?”

Leo steps forward. “A coward.”

I nod. “Damn right, he’s a sniveling, trembling little coward.” I shrug. “She is better off with me.”

Rick sighs heavily. “What do you intend to do with her?” His dark eyes burn into mine.

I lick my bottom lip, crossing my arms over my chest, as all the dirty little fantasies I have about her flash through my mind. “I’ll keep her for myself.”

Leo chuckles. “Sounds like you have got the hots for the beautiful, barely legal piece of ass.”

I growl at my brother, fists clenching. “Watch it, Leo. You don’t want me to kick your ass right here and now, do you?”

He claps me on the back, smiling. “I’m only jesting, big brother.” He’s always joking around, but with Jasmine, it’s not a joke.

Rick hasn’t said anything, he’s just staring at me through narrowed eyes. “Why do you want her?”

“Why the hell do you think? I want to see if I can get that girl to beg me for it,” I growl, feeling possessive over her and hating being questioned on my intentions.

Leo bursts into a fit of laughter. “I’m not sure she’ll want an old man like you.”

He’s trying to piss me off and get under my skin, It’s what he does best. My hands clench by my side, but I don’t bother replying. She will want me. I’ll make her so desperate for my cock, she’ll be begging me for it.

I’m not into bedding a woman who isn’t totally into it. My tastes are inclined toward getting a woman to submit to me and letting me control her body, letting me make her feel better than she’ve ever imagined.

Rick nods. “Fine, you can keep her.”

A strange sense of relief pulses through me hearing my brother’s permission. We may be brothers, but Rick is the boss of the mob and what he says goes.

“But, Kane, I don’t want you making a habit of keeping girls as pets,” Rick says.

“Don’t be an asshole, I’m not keeping her as a pet.” I shake my head. “She will be given anything she wants and treated with respect. I will

not make her do anything against her will.”

“I think the fact she is locked away in your bedroom right now against her will, makes her your pet.” Rick shakes his head “This is the first and last, no more owning women after her.”

I can’t understand why, but the mention of me owning any other women after Jasmine makes me angry. All I want is her for some insane reason. What the fuck has gotten into me?

I’m sure the novelty will wear off once I break down those walls and have her submitting to me, making her mine. Actually, I’m not totally sure as I’ve never felt like this before. My fists clench and my jaw does too, but I keep my calm. This isn’t the time to draw attention to my questionable feelings toward this girl I don’t even know.

Leo claps me on the back. “You really need to chill out brother.”

I tense under his touch and glare at him. “You really need to stop touching me.”

His eyes widen and he takes a step back, holding his hands up. He knows the warning signs. The caveman inside of me has broken free, and I’m full of hot rage that I’m unable to tame.

Rick gets up from his seat and walks around his desk toward me. “Leo is right, you seriously need to chill out.” He cocks his head to the side. “What exactly do you intend to do with this woman?”

My jaw clenches. “I told you, I want her for myself.” Rick shakes his head. “In what capacity?”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

I rub the back of my neck, trying to control myself. Rick may be my younger brother, but he’s above me in rank and I’ve got to hold my tongue. “As my woman.”

Rick’s eyes widen. “Like a girlfriend?”

I nod, grunting. “Yeah, exactly, she’ll be with me all the time. Mine.” I shake my head. “If anyone even thinks about touching her, they will be dead.”

Rick walks sets a hand on my shoulder. “You need to sort yourself out brother.” He shakes his head. “I don’t get it, you’ve just met her, but you know how dangerous it is to show you care. It’s a weakness that anyone could exploit. No one else can know how you feel, other than us.” Rick nods at Leo.

Rick is right. Jasmine has imprinted on me in a way no one ever has, and I can’t even think about letting her go. It paints a target on her. The way

I act toward her in public will have to be different, even if it pains me to act distant toward her. This girl has bewitched me, and I’ve known her two hours. It’s ridiculous.

My father always made me aware of his rules, one of which was to never care about anyone but your family.

How can I be thinking this way? I’ve not had a relationship since freaking high-school. I run a hand over my cropped hair. “I know.” I let out a long breath. “I’ll be careful, I promise.”

Rick stares me out for a few moments, before nodding. “Remember, we’ve got the sit down tomorrow morning with everyone.” He pauses a moment. “It is up to you if you bring her. If not, she’ll have to stay here, but she will be unguarded.”

I give my brother a swift nod. “I’ll be there, without her.”

A knowing look passes through Rick’s eyes. I’ve only just met her and leaving her here unguarded is safer than taking her to a sit-down. Jasmine already knows who I am and what I’m capable of. She doesn’t need to witness the true power of the Romano Mafia-not yet. Our weekly sit- down with the rest of the members always results in a few murders.

It twists my gut at the thought of letting her see that side of me even though we’ve only just met. It doesn’t matter though, somehow, I know deep down this girl is meant for me. The way she looked at me in the back of that car today wasn’t fearful. She was intrigued and slightly aroused, at least, until she passed out when I told her she was mine forever.

I clench my fists together, feeling irritated at that reaction. My heart is set on claiming her, but she doesn’t feel the same way.

She was aroused at first, though. I could tell from the way her lips parted ever so slightly, and her cheeks tinged a pretty pink. The girl wants me, but will she want me when she realizes the true monster I am?
