MY MAFIA MATE

Caught in the web 🕸

Elena stood on the balcony of Dante’s penthouse, wrapped in his silk robe, watching the city wake up below. Two days had passed since she left Marcus. Two days of pure bliss mixed with crushing guilt. Dante had been attentive, passionate, and possessive barely letting her out of his sight or his bed.

Strong arms wrapped around her from behind. Dante pressed a kiss to her neck, his bare chest warm against her back.

“Regretting it already?” he asked, voice low and dangerous.

“No,” Elena whispered, leaning into him. “But Marcus keeps calling and texting. He’s furious.”

“Let him be.” Dante’s hand slipped inside the robe, cupping her breast. “You’re mine now. He’ll have to learn to live with it.”

Before she could respond, Dante turned her around and lifted her onto the wide balcony railing, the cool morning air raising goosebumps on her skin. Anyone with binoculars could have seen them, but he didn’t care. He spread her thighs and sank into her with one smooth thrust.

“f**k, you feel perfect,” he groaned, gripping her hips as he moved inside her. The city sprawled beneath them like a kingdom he ruled. Elena clung to his shoulders, moaning loudly as he took her hard and deep, claiming her in the open air.

“Dante… someone might see…” she gasped between thrusts.

“Let them watch,” he growled, pounding into her faster. “Let the whole city know who you belong to now.”

Elena came hard, crying out his name as pleasure crashed over her. Dante followed moments later, burying himself deep with a possessive groan.

Afterwards, he carried her back inside and gently cleaned her up. For a brief moment, the ruthless mafia king was almost tender.

But reality intruded quickly.

Dante’s phone rang. He answered it with a clipped tone, his expression darkening as he listened. “Handle it,” he ordered before hanging up. When he looked at Elena, his eyes were cold.

“One of my men just informed me that Marcus hired a private investigator yesterday. He’s digging into your whereabouts… and my activities.”

Elena’s blood ran cold. “He knows I’m here?”

“Not yet. But he’s getting close.” Dante pulled her into his arms. “I can make this problem disappear, Elena. Say the word.”

She pulled back, eyes wide. “You mean… hurt him?”

Dante’s silence was answer enough. Elena shook her head. “No. Please, Dante. He’s angry, but he doesn’t deserve that. I’ll talk to him.”

Dante’s jaw clenched, but he nodded once. “You have one week. After that, I handle it my way.”

The rest of the day passed in tense luxury. Dante worked from his home office while Elena tried to process her new reality. She was no longer just having an affair she had left her husband for a mafia boss.

That evening, her phone rang again. Marcus.

She answered with trembling hands.

“Where the hell are you, Elena?” His voice was raw with pain and rage. “You just packed a bag and left? For him? My f*****g boss?!”

“I’m sorry, Marcus. Our marriage has been over for a long time. You know that.”

“I know you’re f*****g him!” Marcus shouted. “I have pictures, Elena. Pictures of you entering his building. Pictures of his car picking you up. How long has this been going on behind my back?”

Elena closed her eyes. “It doesn’t matter anymore.”

“It does to me!” His voice cracked. “I loved you. I was building a life for us. And you threw it away for that criminal.”

She froze. “What did you just say?”

“I did my research. Dante Moretti isn’t just a CEO. He’s dangerous, Elena. People disappear around him. And now you’re in his world.” Marcus’s voice dropped to a broken whisper. “Come home. We can fix this. Please.”

For a moment, Elena felt the weight of her old life pulling at her. But then Dante walked into the room, his presence commanding and protective. He wrapped his arms around her from behind, kissing her shoulder.

“I can’t,” she said softly into the phone. “It’s over, Marcus.”

She hung up, tears streaming down her face. Dante turned her around and wiped her tears with his thumb.

“You did the right thing,” he murmured. “I’ll keep you safe. No matter what.”

But as they stood together, Elena couldn’t shake the feeling that the web was tightening around them. Marcus was desperate. Dante’s enemies were watching. And she was now at the very center of a dangerous game.

Later that night, as Dante made love to her again slower this time, more intense Elena whispered against his lips:

“I’m scared.”

Dante thrust deeper, claiming her completely. “Don’t be. You’re with me now. And I destroy anyone who tries to take what’s mine.”

In that moment, wrapped in his darkness and passion, Elena realized the truth:

She wasn’t just in love with a dangerous man.

She had become part of his dangerous world.
