Dante (Chicago Ruthless, #1)

by Sadie Kincaid

“We were supposed to ...

“So why didn’...

“I thought we had. She was almost gone. I thought someone had found her a...

“What we’re going to do is more merciful than what you did to Kat,” I tell him. “You see, there were two of you when you raped her and you violated her while she cried and begged you to stop, but there’s only one of each of you.”

“You’re going to do to each other exactly what you did to her,” I tell them. Elmo retches, but nothing comes out, while Tony pisses himself. “One of you will hold the other one down and you will fuck his ass until he’s bleeding and crying. And when he begs you to stop, you’re going to carve the words SICK FUCK into his back. It’s up to you two who gets to give and who gets to take.”

“Did Kat scream like that?” I take the knife from Maximo and walk over to the two men on the floor and pass it to Tony. “Carve those fucking words into his back and make it fucking hurt, because if he’s not crying and bleeding all over this floor in agony, I will make both of you feel pain like you have never even imagined.”

“I’m not going to hurt you, kitten,” he growls. “And the next time you have a memory of being bent over and held down, it will be me you think of.”

“All you’ll remember is how good it feels when I fuck you. How much your pussy loves to come on my cock,” he goes on talking to me while he fucks me, and I whimper as the memories dissolve like salt in hot soup, until all I can see, hear and feel is Dante.

“I can get inside you so fucking deep like this, Kat. I’m gonna be bending you over every piece of furniture we own.”

“Every single part of you is perfect, vita mia,” he says between kisses. “Every single part of you already belongs to me. So you can let go my little wildcat, because I’ve already got you.”

“To Kat, my best friend. My wife. The woman who made me a father. Vita mia. Sei la cosa più bella che mi sia mai capitata .”

“You changed that. Baby or not, I knew the minute you walked into this house, I could never let you leave. I wanted you. I needed you. And I figured that was enough for me to keep you here forever. But then you went and spent every damn minute of every damn day making me fall in love with you too.”

“I’ve been waiting to taste my wife’s beautiful pussy all day.” He starts to trail kisses up my thighs. “You’re already so wet, Kat. I wish you could see your cunt glistening with your juices.”

“Tomorrow morning, you can wake me up with the best head of my life,” he says as he crawls over me, pulling me up the bed with him until my head is resting on the pillows. “But tonight is all about you, Mrs. Moretti. Let me fucking worship you.”

“Have I ever told you how much I love you?”

A frown crosses his handsome face. “No, you haven’t.”

“I do. I love you more than you will ever know. That day you took me, you sa...

“You saved me first, kitten,” he says and then he seals his mouth over mine as he slides his cock deep inside me. I wrap my legs around his waist as he claims me fo...

As I expected, her torso is covered in bruises. Some fresh purple ones on her right side and some faint yellow ones on her left. There’s a large bite on her left breast, peeking out from her bra. She keeps her eyes downcast as she unbuttons her jeans and pushes them over her hips.

She nods almost imperceptibly as she follows my instruction. The tops of her thighs are covered with fingertip bruises and similar bite marks to the one on her breast. Her chest heaves with the effort and the humiliation as she stands there allowing me to inspect her abused body.

“Thank you. You can get dressed again now,”

“Who did that to you?”

“Your brothers?”

“Does your father know?”

“Does he know?” she snorts. “Who do you think taught them to be the animals...

“How long has this been happening?”

“I was about eleven the first time,”

“And how did they think I wouldn’t find out? On our wedding night, was I not supposed to n...

“There’s an operation you can have to have your hymen replaced,” she says. “You were never supposed to see me until our wedding. And once we were engaged, my father said they w...

“They think I’m that...

“I know we can’t be engaged now,” she sniffs. “But can you please not tell them that you know. They’ll suspect, but if they can’t prove it, maybe I can convince them. Vito will tell them that you sent him out though....

“We’ll get engaged. Today,”

“As my fiancée, you will live here in my house. You can stay in one of our guest rooms until we’re married. Your virtue will be safe here. Nobody will touch you while you live in this house.”

“They won’t let me leave.”

“They won’t have a choice...

“Why would you do thi...

“If I tell my father we’re engaged to be married, he might let me breathe a little,” I lie. But the truth is, her father and brothers have been top of my shit list for months now. “Go say goodbye to Vito, and my housekeeper will show you to your room...

“You’ll be safe here, Nicole,”

“My name is Nicci,” she whispers. “I hate Nicole.”

“Ni...

“I have no intention of marrying you, Nicci, but until I figure a way out of this, everyone must believe that we are engaged. Do you understand me?”

“Yes.”

“That includes ...

“S-Sabine? What does she have to do with anything?”

“I don’t want you speaking to her for a while.”

“B-but she’s just my friend, Dante. I...

“Nicci!” I snap. “This has to look real. I am the head of the fucking Cosa Nostra. Do you think I would allow my fiancée to consort with her lover?”

“She’s n-not…”

“Do not fucking lie to me. I am not your fucking white knight, Nicci. I will keep you safe here. I don’t care who you fucked, who you love, who you want, but...

“H-how did you know?” she whispers, tears running down her ch...
