My Mafia Madness 3

Chapter 5 - Reaper Rendered Speechless

Dante was in the middle of a conversation when he first lay his eyes on Alexa, all dolled up for her special birthday night out.

His words instantly died in his mouth as he suddenly froze as the elevator ‘pinged’ and the doors opened, revealing such a glorious goddess that had been gifted to him stepping out from the elevator along with her friend.

The Don could not seem to understand how he had been so blessed to have found such an angel in the first place. Since he had, his entire life had changed, and for the better.

Not only did Dante freeze up mid-conversation but do did Roberto and several of the others who had come to join the Don before their scheduled departure to the concert.

It was as if all eyes were on her; the birthday girl.

And Alexa, as modest as ever, blushed while lowering her head in embarrassment as she and Willow made their way out from the elevator and into the lobby of the apartment building, where everyone was now standing by waiting.

Her six-inch high heels ‘clicked’ softly against the tiled marble floor below as she and Willow strolled along, arm in arm with big smiles spread wide across their faces.

Willow had been dressed in a brilliant silk red cocktail dress that came down to just above her knees and clung to her figure firmly.

Her long red hair had been loosely waved for this evening and came down over her back and left shoulder, bouncing with each of her steps.

A ruby red lipstick covered her lips, and her eyes had a smoky look to them.

Alexa on the other hand had a more golden goddess look to her, with her Elora Wu designer golden spaghetti strap dress made entirely of glittering sequins and coming down to just above her knees as well.

It appeared that short dresses were the hottest look for this evening.

Alexa’s long blonde hair had been layered and then straightened, coming down towards the middle of her back, with stray strands gently wafting across her face.

Her eyes too were dusted with a dark smoke to them but hinted with a hue of flashy gold and her lips were visibly glossy and tantalisingly plump as she parted them to smile.

Dante’s emerald eyes were fixated on her.

To him, there was nothing else in the entire world but this incredible woman right her and now.

And how he wanted to stroll right up to her, bend her over the counter and have his way with her, there in front of everyone present.

They would choose to watch, or not… he honestly didn’t care.

This woman was practically killing him right now with how delicious she looked.

Alexa’s dress showed off her incredible cleavage too, as she also bounced with each of her sensuous steps; a true picture of Dante’s greatest desires, and apparently headed right towards him.

His shook his head, suddenly snapping himself out of his temporary daze and lifted his gaze to meet hers as she finally reached him, stopping less than a foot from him and smiling.

“Well?” she questioned, lifting both brows as she waited for him to reply to a question she hadn’t yet asked him.

“How do I look? And be honest.” she insisted shyly.

As Dante tried to formulate words, his open mouth seemed to produce nothing; not a single sound or word spoken in response.

It appeared that this beautiful woman had the infamous Reaper at a loss for words!

A foreign feeling of nervousness washed over Dante as he fought to rid himself of it and voice a reply, but no matter how hard he tried, no words could describe her beauty in this very moment.

Nothing would even come close!

“Dante?”

Alexa’s tone of voice sounded worried, as did the expression on her angelic face.

When Roberto noticed that his brother was unexpectedly caught like a deer in headlights, he quickly stepped in to save Dante from further embarrassment.

“I think your beauty may have broken my brother, Alexa.” he joked, causing the others to chuckle as Roberto stood there with Willow arm in arm.

Willow too smiled proudly at her best friend on her special day.

The stylists really had done a tremendous job, not that it would have taken much to help someone as gorgeous as Alexa look good.

She had a natural beauty that many others did not.

Dante turned to face his brother and a single warning glare from the Don had commanded his brother’s silence right there on the spot.

Roberto’s jokes, it seemed, would have to wait… for now at least.

Forcing his mouth closed, Roberto pursed his lips together to try and hide his taunting smirk from view of his brother as he suppressed his laughter from rising to the surface.

Shaking off the sudden nervousness for a moment, Dante took control once more and stepped forwards, closing the gap between him and Alexa as he spoke to her with a deep voice and his glimmering eyes hooded with lust.

“I don’t know if I feel comfortable allowing you outside looking this good, bella.” he spoke, looking her up and down like a hungry predator.

Alexa immediately blushed, lowering her gaze towards the floor as she shyly took on his compliment.

This handsome man standing right in front of her was the billionaire CEO of Romano Enterprises and Mafia Boss, now admiring her appearance in front of everyone present.

She felt giddy, like a schoolgirl who needed to pinch herself and wake up from such a delightful dream.

A dream that she never could have imagined would come to fruition, especially for someone like her; a nobody from New York.

And little did she know, this was only a mere taste of what was to come for her this evening…

-

With the arrival of the girls, they were headed out through the grand entrance to the apartment block and onto the evening streets outside.

Of course, there were many well-dressed men surrounding the group as they walked outside together.

And as they did, Alexa set her sights on the white Triple Axle H2 Hummer Jet Door Limousine parked at the curb side, eagerly waiting for them to get inside.

Obviously, her heart leapt with excitement as she shrieked happily.

“Are you kidding me right now?” she announced, almost jumping on the spot as Dante’s warm arm wrapped around her, pulling her in for a warm hug as he spoke.

“Only the best for my woman.” he insisted with a proud grin.

“Dante, this is…” she began, but was suddenly cut off by the even louder screams of Willow as she too set eyes on the luxury vehicle waiting for them.

“Holy f*****g s**t! Is that our ride?” she turned to Roberto in question, noticing him nod his answer to her.

“Are you serious!” she screamed happily, then looking over at Alexa with a massive smile.

“Lex, come look at this!”

Noticing both of their excitement, Dante knew that Alexa and Willow would probably enjoy spending some time together before their arrival at the concert.

And he too had to go over some last-minute plans with his boys on the ride over as well.

He turned to look down at Alexa with a smile.

“Go on…” he spoke with a gesture of his chin towards Willow who was waving them over towards the limo.

“Tonight is your night… go to your friend. Have fun.”

“You’re coming too, right?” she suddenly seemed cautious in her expression as she asked her question.

He frowned at her concern.

“Of course.” he replied matter-of-factly.

“I wouldn’t miss this for the world.”

Alexa’s smile only widened at such a perfect man as she looked deeply into his glistening emerald eyes, lovingly and with thanks for his understanding.

“Thank you.”

That was all she said before she leaned in and pressed her lips up against his, giving him a brief but gentle kiss before she quickly squealed and went to join her bestie in admiring the expensive car they were now getting into.

“Lex, would you look at this f*****g car!” Willow cursed in disbelief as the two women each crawled inside, finding themselves a suitable seating area.

As Dante stood by watching their happiness, he couldn’t help but notice his own sense of happiness beginning to grow from deep inside, and the foreign feeling was somewhat strange… rather difficult for him to deal with or accept.

A man like him could never know what happiness was like… could never experience happiness… could he?

“You ready for this?” came the familiar voice of his most trusted friend, Nicola as the large well-dressed underboss approached and stood beside his Capo for a moment.

Dante didn’t need to make eye contact with his friend as he voiced his response.

“God, I hope so.”

“We have everything set up, the acts have all arrived and are preparing as we speak. And they have the VIP booth prepared for your arrival. It’s been stocked with food and drinks for the night.” Nicola reported calmly.

“Very good.” Dante replied.

Noticing his boss’ anxiety about what he would soon be doing in front of tens of thousands of people for Alexa, Nicola placed his hand onto Dante’s shoulder as he turned to him and spoke with a smile.

“Hey, you’re the f*****g Reaper, remember?” he spoke to reassure his Don.

“You’ve got this.”

With that, Nicola lowered his hand and walked across the footpath towards the waiting limo before climbing inside with the others.

Dante too, after taking one last deep breath to try and centre himself for the night’s events, followed along and entered the luxury hire car before the doors were promptly closed behind them by one of the security guards.

Eventually, pulling out onto the streets of New York while following along behind a black SUV and with one following along behind it, the limo began its journey towards their destination.

The prestigious Madison Square Garden.
