The Mafia Contract Series

I meet up with Malik after class and we head back to the house to discover his findings. He doesn’t say much, but I see the steely glint in his eye that tells me he’s discovered something at least and as soon as we’re inside, we head to the kitchen as usual and grab some Gatorade.

“What you got?”

He wipes his mouth and throws me a hard stare. “Eden.”

“What about her?”

“She’s your masked intruder.”

“That figures.” For some reason, I feel better about that and laugh softly.

“Revenge is sweet. Well, she certainly caused a ripple. I’ve got to hand it to her. How do you know?”

“I asked around and one of the girls told me her friend Brianna was bragging about it in the girl’s locker room. Apparently, they wanted everyone to know they got back at you and made out it was a prank to get them back on top.”

“Not much of a prank, sad really.”

“Possibly, but what are you going to do about it?”

“Nothing. It’s not worth the energy.”

Knowing it was Eden, makes it ok somehow. I know she’s just a vindictive bitch and I’m happy to let this one slide. Acknowledging it gives it an importance it doesn’t deserve, so I yawn and laugh softly, “Well, that’s a relief.”

Malik nods. “How was your night?”

“Eventful.” He raises his eyes as I fill him in and laughs. “Miss. English is a dark horse; I almost respect her. Then again…” “What?”

He fixes me with a dark look. “Something feels off about it.”

“You think?” I roll my eyes. “That woman is seriously fucked in the head. You should see her room, it’s Barbie’s Malibu mansion. She’s a good fuck though. I’ll give her credit for that.”

Malik looks deep in thought, and I know what that usually means and say quickly, “What are you thinking?”

“That I need to run a few checks on our sexy, Miss. English. Something doesn’t feel right.”

He voices the thoughts in my own head, and I nod. “Agreed. I’m not sure why, but I lost part of last night.”

“What do you mean?”

I’ve got his interest and I sigh. “I think she drugged me. It certainly felt like that.”

Malik’s eyes gleam with interest and I’m not surprised because he loves that kind of twisted fuckery himself. “What do you remember?”

“Just downing a beer blindfolded while she sucked my dick. Then I woke up and felt as if I’d fought a war single-handed.”

He looks thoughtful. “Leave it with me. I’ll do a little digging.”

Alessandro walks through the door and nods. “Man, I need a beer.

Townsend was brutal today.”

Thinking about our Phys Ed coach, I must agree with him. He’s a bastard who loves pushing his students to breaking point and Alessandro looks wrecked. “I’ve crawled back here to recover. It doesn’t help that Ivan wants to practice tonight, which is the last thing I feel like fucking doing.”

He exhales sharply, and Malik grins. “You looked fucked, brother.”

Alessandro looks up and I don’t miss the look that passes between them, which sets me on edge. I’m not one to miss signs that something isn’t right, and then Malik shrugs. “Anyway, I have a job to do. Catch you later.”

He heads outside and I jerk my head toward him. “What was that all about?”

I stare at Alessandro hard, and he shrugs. “Fuck if I know. I gave up trying to work him out years ago.”

He turns and heads out of the room, saying over his shoulder, “I’m off for a shower.”

As I watch him go, something is making me uneasy. There are so many dangerous personalities in this house and I’m still trying to work them out.

We may all be brothers here at Rockwell, but in the wider world we’ll be enemies. Do I trust them? Not entirely, but they’re the only hope I’ve got and if I’m to survive my future, they are the ones I’m counting on to have my back.

LATER THAT AFTERNOON, I’m heading out of class, and I see Eden and Brianna in the distance, whispering and smirking in my direction. Feeling pissed, I head their way and stop just short of them. Eden has that look of longing in her eyes that she’s always directed at me, and I nod respectfully.

“Eden.”

“Angelo.” She pulls herself up and thrusts out her chest and I note her freshly bleached hair that she’s had styled into a bob cut, making her look way better than before. “We did you a favor. I like the hair.” She blushes at my compliment and her eyes sparkle with longing. Brianna is looking at me as if I’m Santa fucking Claus and I laugh to myself because these girls are so transparent, it’s funny. Despite what I did to them, they would still willingly spread their legs and after my lack of control last night, I’m feeling particularly devilish today.

“Fancy coming over later, both of you.”

I stare at them with a lust-filled look and the look on their faces makes me almost laugh out loud. “Sure.” They share a look and I know they would do anything asked and they are probably thinking this has brought them back in my favor. They always thought I admired a bitch at work and tried to work harder than most and so I lean forward and say huskily, “How do you fancy a threesome?”

Their wide eyes tell me this is a step they have never taken before and they look a little unsure, so I shrug. “Your loss.” I turn away and Eden reaches out and grabs my arm, saying nervously, “What time?”

I turn slowly, “I know a place during history. Meet me at Miss. English’s house.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re not serious.” They look shocked and I grin like the devil I am.

“Wait for me in her bed, both of you naked and if you get cold, maybe you can start without me.”

They share an anxious look and I whisper, “It’s turning me on just thinking about it. You up for something different? I may even make it regular if I like it.”

The promise that seals the deal because I know they would do anything to be considered one of us and so, as Eden licks her lips, she says huskily, “I’ll be there.”

Turning to Brianna, I see the flush to her cheeks as she nods. “Me too.”

“Then I’ll look forward to it. Ladies.”

As I head off, I laugh to myself. Fuck, that was easy. This is going to be fun. As I round the corner, I take out my phone and punch in the text that will seal their final humiliation. Sometimes it’s good to be me and for the first time in ages, I feel a lightness to my spirit that hasn’t been there for some time.
