The Devil (Mafia Empire #5)

by Michelle Heard

I want Jenna Dotson all for myself. Which is fucking insane. I’m always in control. Work is all that matters. But still, I’m so captivated by Jenna, I can’t stop myself from watching her.

It’s something I’ve never felt before, and now that she’s in the house and I have men guarding her, I know with dead certainty I’m never letting her go.

“A hundred and twenty-five thousand,” I mutter. Ricky frowns at me. “What?” “That’s how much it will cost you for ten minutes of my time,” I say, my tone emotionless. “Come back when you have my money, and we can sit down and talk.” “I have to remember that line,” Leo whispers.

🤣

What will I do if Jenna can’t accept who I am? Letting her go is not an option. I’ll keep her against her will if I have to, and with time, she’ll learn to accept me. There’s no other option.

“You’re mine. The choice isn’t yours. It's the only thing I can’t give you. You’ll never belong to anyone else. You’re mine forever.”

Sir please. Take a girl out first

You watched me while I was sleeping. You’ve killed people and admitted that you will kill again. You said you’re not giving me the choice to leave. Do you not hear yourself and how insane it all sounds?

I clench my jaw throughout the entire process, not taking my eyes off my woman. My woman. I’ve never had one before, but the thought makes the corner of my mouth lift.

“What am I doing that’s making you so uncomfortable?” You’re being all hot and talking about attraction. I’m not used to…

I haven’t been able to fully trust anyone since the rape, but as I stare at Enzo and see the tenderness in his eyes, I fall irrevocably in trust with him. It’s a big thing for me. Bigger than the crush

I’ve never belonged to anyone. I’ve never had a home. Until her.

“I can’t let you go, Jenna. Don’t make me force you to stay. Become my home and belong to me.”

“You are everything I never knew I wanted, and the biggest surprise of my life.” Jenna’s face is so expressive, it allows me to witness the exact moment she falls in love with me. Her eyes fill with wonder, and she looks at me as if I’ve just given her everything she’s ever wanted.

I begin to feel emotional, and as my chin quivers, I realize a man is lying on top of me, and I’m not freaking out. That’s huge.

“To others, you might be the devil, but to me you’re a guardian angel.”

“I will worship at your feet until the day I die, and even then, I will raise hell to find you in the afterlife.”
