he was on a very thin sheet of ice with even saying something that even seemed like he wanted Alessandra. “Yours,” he said to Gregorio with a bow of his head.
“She will be. She’s not yet, but very soon. Giovanni is dragging his heels on allowing me to marry her.” Gregorio smiled and looked around. “Ah, Candy is here. Boys, we’ll make plans a bit later.” If only Gregorio could slake the need he had, but all he could think of was Alessandra. She was all he had been able to think of for far too fucking long, and the blue balls he had proved it.
“I think I’m going to go and find someone to fuck as well,” Jack said for both him and Snake.
Chapter Eight
“Do you all understand what I need you to do?” Gregorio asked the men standing or sitting in the clubhouse adjacent to the strip club they had all spent some time in blowing off steam.
“Yes, sir,” Snake said as he cleaned one of the knives he always had on his body. “I’m taking my boys, and I’m going to flush this fucker out by killing off his men.” He looked up at Gregorio and smiled. “I get the fun job.”
“Just don’t get caught. Most of the cops are on our payroll, but there are some fucking do-gooders out there that will get pissy if you are caught. We have the Chief of Police in our pocket and most of the judges, but there are one or two we don’t have,” Gregorio said and then looked to Tony. “You are going to plaster yourself to Alessandra’s side. Giovanni already knows I want you as close to her as her shadow. You’re to protect her from everything. Got it?”
“You know I will boss.” Tony bowed his head in respect. “She’s going to be yours. I get it. I will make sure she comes out of this without a scratch to her. Well, any more than she has now.” They had all seen what the rope did to her skin, and it made more than one of them pissed off and ready to kill for it.
Gregorio had to take a moment and breathed deeply. Alessandra was one of those rare women that women wanted to be friends with, and men wanted to love and protect. She was kind, gentle, and sexy as hell. Add to it that the woman was smarter than most of the men around her. She was the full package, and they all knew it. She had the loyalty of all of the men under her father far more than he did.
Jerking out of his own thoughts, he shook his head and looked at Jack. “You’re going to go back to the Russian’s house and find out how they got out. It might give us an indication of where they are now since there has been no chatter and not even a fucking sighting of them. I want those fuckers found. If you happen to find a Russian that’s part of that Family bring them back here. We will persuade him to speak to us.”
“You got it, Boss,” Jack said and nodded.
Gregorio gave the others their marching orders. Once that was done, he stepped outside of the club and looked up at the skies. Darkness had fallen. It was time to get to work. He got onto his bike and took off with several vehicles following him. He had shit to do as well.

Two hours later, Gregorio turned to the man on his knees before him and asked again, “Where is Vasily?”
“I don’t know.” The words came out as a slight gurgle from the blood that the man’s mouth and throat.
Gregorio punched him once more and asked the question again. “I can go all night, Ivan, and you know it. You’ve run across me twice and barely got away both times. You only did because you sent others to be killed in your place. This is the third time, and you know what that means. You won’t be getting away again.”
“Fuck you, pretty boy,” the Russian said with a bloody grin on his face. “I liked touching that bitch we removed from her father’s clutches. She’s all woman, her body filled out like a woman’s body should be. Her sweet little cunt was shaved bare and smelled so fucking good.”
Gregorio saw red. “What. Did. You. Say?” Each word was forced out of
