“You have beautiful thighs.”

“Don’t try to change the subject.”

My body stretches up against his. The hot buzz in his cock throbs through my skirt. I want to take hold of it. Grip it in both hands. Jam it all the way into my throat.

Then bite it off and swallow it, whole.

A vein in his temple throbs. His neck is red. He steps forward, pressing into me, unbalancing me. Making me almost topple back. He grabs my shirt and bunches it in his fist.

“I’m going to make you swallow my cock.” His voice is thick and hot. “Then I’ll impale you with it.”

Alessio has been forceful with me before. He’s been direct, just like that. Then it was hot. Now, something is not quite right.

There’s a glint in his eye that I don’t recognize. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he was on drugs. That can’t be right, though.

I want him, I want us to be together, I’m tense and near desperate to fuck him. But something sounds wrong, something I can’t put my finger on. It’s like the band’s playing but there’s one string out of tune.

We all take our pleasures seriously and I don’t think I would have a problem with anything my men wanted to do, but I would need us to talk about it beforehand.

His hand is on the big silver buckle on his belt. Like Now he’s pulling it out of his pants. We’ve done all kinds of things like this before, but we always have a bond of consent. Even if it’s just a look in the eye. Most important, we all check for signs of agreement — or disagreement. Always. It could be as small as a frown. A turn or a tilt of the head or a lifted finger.

We all have safe words and stop words. And none of us has ever needed to use one of them. The instant anyone has become uncomfortable, we’ve all pulled around them.

I’m feeling like Alessio has been taken over. Like he’s not my Alessio. Or our Alessio. I need Bruno and Carlo’s view on this. but they’re not here. Now I’m wondering if it’s really a coincidence that Alessio picked today, when they’re away at Sky Table Resort.

“Alessio, I have to go.” I bite my lip. Hard. “I don’t recognize you, Alessio. You’re making me uncomfortable.”

“I never knew you were so easily scared.”

“I’m not scared. Not of you. Not of any man. I think you know that. Do not make me prove it.”

“So, what, then? You’re afraid I’ll challenge the rule of the Donna? Threaten the power of the queen bee?”

“This is not you talking, Alessio.”

“It really is. My uncle told me. I said he was wrong. I didn’t believe him.”

“You discussed our private life with him? With Jerry?”

“Don’t you know, Lucy?” Lucy? What the fuck? “That’s what hew came to talk about. Chicago can’t put us up to the Commission. Not while we’re living this way.”

“Living…”

“At least, not while you’re in charge.”

“Okay. Here it is.” I have to stay calm. I know it. But I can’t. I’m getting hot. “Jerry’s got a tune for you to dance to.”

“You know nobody in the Life operates this way.” He waves his hand. “It will come. Maybe. In time. But it’s not how things are. Not now. Not yet.”

“So. Jerry is dangling the shiny object you always wanted, and you dance like a monkey after it.”

“Careful what you say, Lucy.”

“You be careful what you say, Alessio. Chicago and the Commission are jerking you on a chain. As soon as they get what they want, they’ll just let you drop,” I lift my hand, pinching my thumb and forefinger almost in front of his face. His eyes flash as I widen my eyes, I spring my hand open and say, “Plop!”

I watch his face harden. I shouldn’t rub it in. “Straight down into Puget Sound.” His jaw works. I shake my head. “You’ll hardly shake the surface, and you don’t even see it.”

His lips tighten. “You’re so obsessed with your power, your crusade, your battle for recognition,” His nostrils flare and his chest shakes. “and for what? So you can be a hero for a couple of dozen women around the country? A few women who could never in a million years do what you do.” his eyebrow cocks and the side of his mouth twists in a sneer.
