Vicious Union (Flor de Muertos, #1)

by Jocelyne Soto

I’m Leonardo Morales and my life belongs to the Muertos Cartel. To my father. This will forever be my reign.

Boring. Bad in bed. Way too stubborn. You’re probably wondering, Serena, why are you listing these things? Well, those are the things that my now ex-boyfriend used to describe me as he was breaking up with me. He didn’t think I was bad in bed whenever I took his pencil of a cock in my mouth and let him come on my chest. Stupid ass bastard. Maybe if he knew how to pleasure a woman, he wouldn’t have to come up with lies when ending a relationship.

“Whoa, who pissed in your Cheerios?” my roommate, Aria, asks as she walks into our tiny apartment.

If I didn’t love her so much, I would tell her to fuck off, and to let me scream in peace, but I do, so I answer.

“The douchebag of a donkey’s ass,” ...

“Jeremy! He broke up with me and called me boring and bad in bed,” I wave my arms around to get my point across.

“Yes! Oh, and he also said that I’m way too stubborn. Who says that?”

“Well, you can be stubborn at times,” she shrugs, her blonde ponytail swaying with the motion.

“Hey! You’re supposed to be on my side. Not agree with the bastard.” So much for being my best friend. “I am on your side,” she holds up her hands in defense. “I’m just saying that he might be right about that one thing.” I give her a death glare as she comes to sit on the couch with me, putting the TV on mute in the process. “Can I just say that I’m so damn happy that you are done with that bastard? He never treated you right and every time he slept over, he gave me the creeps.” “Yeah, he gave me the creeps too,” I sig...

How do I tell Aria that even at twenty-seven years old, I stay in relationships because I...

Pretty sure it stemmed from my childhood when my parents thought it would be better to leave me with the neighbor to go out or on one of their va...

It’s not all my parents’ fault, my relationship issues have a lot to do with the fact that I feel like I’m not worthy enough to be loved. God, I sound pathetic. “Because sometimes i...

“You will never be completely lonely. You have me. We can be completely lonely together,”

She is just as afraid of being alone as I am.

“Thanks, I really appreciate that. Maybe we will get a thousand cats to keep us company. Or we should buy stock in a sex toy company because we both know we are ...

I joke, but seriously, I’m going to need something to get me thro...

“And where exactly are we going to wear these dresses that show off our bodies?”

“Vegas, baby!”

Plus, there are shows, you can’t forget the shows and the possibility to people watch.

Maybe Aria does have a good idea brewing. Maybe she’s right and the distraction of all the lights and noise will be good for me.

Thinking about it more and more, Vegas sounds way more appealing than my bed at the moment. Even more if ...

The break-up with Jeremy really messed with my mind. I need a distraction And Vegas will be the perfect one.

If you ever want to die a slow painful death, cross a Mexican cartel and they will make sure that your wish is granted.

It’s as simple as lying to them or not giving them their money and you will see your painful untimely death. Sometimes, you won’t see it coming, other times you will get the kingpin himself standing before you, ready to pull the trigger.

And if the kingpin isn’t available, he will send his second in command to get the job done. And in...

My whole life, I have been trained, educated and beaten ...

It was ingrained in my brain from the day I was born that one day I was going to be...

You see, my name is Leonardo Morales. I’m second-in-command of the Muertos Cartel, the largest cartel in Mexico.

We run the biggest drug trade this side of Arizona has ever seen. So big that the cartels in Colombia and Brazil can’t touch us. Even they started to work for us.

You want to get the best cocaine that the Colombians have to of...

You want to get your hands on state-of-the-art weaponry? We wi...

All of it coming at...

It’s your choice on how you pay us. Hard cold cash or your dead body, we’ll take eit...

“Hip, hip fucking-hooray.” We’re going to fucking Vegas.

“Now we just have to find you a sexy man to bang, and everything will be all better.”

“I would never suggest you jump into a relationship so soon.” She takes a drink of her margarita. “But I would suggest you jump some hotties bones, even if it’s only once.”

“Your prince, huh? Well, it looks like the princess is too drunk to distinguish a prince from a villain.”

“Has anyone ever told you that sometimes the princess prefers the villain?” I need to shut up. I’m in a stranger’s arms and I’m making a fool of myself, talking about princes. “And why is that?” A smirk forms on his plump lips that I just want to kiss off. “Because the villain would destroy everything in his way to get to the princess and keep her safe.”

“What’s your name, princesa?”

He speaks Spanish, I like him even more now.

“Serena.” It’s not even funny how fast I...

“I’m going to take a wild guess that you two ladies drank too much by the pool and n...

Oh my god, maybe they are going to kill us. Bound us to chairs and torture us.

“Sleep, princesa.”

There is a guy out there that is absolutely perfect, and I want him and all that he can offer.

Brown eyes that you would get on your knees for. A chiseled jawline, and hair that you wanted to run your fingers through.

So it wasn’t a dream.

He was real and I will most likely never ...

“That’s one of the guys that helped us back to the room.”

What the actual fuck does she think she’s doing?
