Coming Soon!<\/p>\n
Adult (18+) Excerpt: (pre-edit)<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know anything.\u201d I didn\u2019t expect Greco\u2019s sniveling whimpers. More evidence the fucking rat had betrayed me. For five years, he\u2019d worked under my brother, had been trusted.<\/p>\n
My brother had trusted too easily. Now, he was dead.<\/p>\n
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\u2019t just about business. Power, money, loyalty, and family were interwoven and unable to be separated. They were worth defending\u2014worth killing for.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
