The sight of blood was an aphrodisiac. It warmed my gut and seeped lower into my groin like a secret lover. I could feel the flare of anticipation in the pounding of my heart, and the sizzle of heat along my spine. My cock hardened as my enemy weakened.
“I don’t know anything.” I didn’t expect Greco’s sniveling whimpers. More evidence the fucking rat had betrayed me. For five years, he’d worked under my brother, had been trusted.
My brother had trusted too easily. Now, he was dead.
Father Lodi searched for the virtues of men, but it was the seven deadly sins that made men dangerous. The truth, trust no one. I said a silent prayer in my mind. This wasn’t just about business. Power, money, loyalty, and family were interwoven and unable to be separated. They were worth defending—worth killing for.
Standing in front of Greco, I rolled my shirt cuffs one more turn, covering the blood splatter staining the white linen.
His voice quavered. Fear was a powerful weapon. But not always enough to get me the information I wanted. A thousand cuts strategically inflicted to cause pain, but not death, could be highly motivating. So were the two-hundred and six bones in the human body.
I rested my hand on his trembling shoulder. With a hard, fast thrust, I rammed the heel of my palm against the ridge of his clavicle. Bone snapped, giving beneath the stretched skin where his shoulder met his neck.
Greco screamed. The piercing wail sliced through the room, echoing off the walls, and warming me like the smooth notes of a merlot. Some would say the Bruno men were brutal. I would hate to disappoint them.
