Mob Boss x Hitwoman (Closed for KINKYCanada)

[AlwaysFaithful]

Cassandra shook her head, disagreeing with Carmine's choice to leave some of Chris's men alive. But she didn't speak about it. SHe simply watched Carmine go, then gathered her things. Getting a text, she swore "Fuck. Like I need to deal with this now." She grabbed her bag and stormed out. If it was just Michelle, Cassandra would gladly let her figure it out on her own. But Michelle was tied to Carmine. This would bring unwanted attention to him. She threw her bag into the back of her Charger before driving to Michelle's house.

Pulling up, she got out and stormed up to the door. Banging on the door she waited ofr Michelle to answer. When she did, she could see that Cassandra was clearly pissed off. "What the hell have you done now? I don't really have time for this today." She snapped, pushing her way into Michelle's home, in seek of the dead body.

 

[KINKYCanada]

As Cass went into the large, opulent condo she saw the dead body. There in the middle of the living room lying face down was a man Cass knew very well, and he wasn't part of Chris's crew. His name was Paul "Gorilla" Ruggerio. He was an immense man standing at 6'5" and a solid 350 lbs. There was no gun in his hand and he had been shot in the back of the head execution style. Cass knew something was up right away. Gorilla was a loyal soldier to Bugsy. She heard the click as Michelle's pistol misfired.

"Fuck! Ian Kenny get out here. My gun isn't working!" Michelle yelled. Cass turned to see Carmines wife standing ten feet behind her holding a small automatic pistol, pure hatred on her beautiful face. Then she heard the door to the bedroom open and two men hurrying out...

Andrew was driving back to Staten Island for Carmine to go to the house. Carmine was in a heated discussion with Billy. Billy was with Cass on not letting any of Chris's men live. "Just the fact that they are willing to turn on Chris will show you that they can't be trusted! Come on Carmine you know your girl is right on this one. Kill'em all!"

"No I am no butcher. There is a strong chance that they wouldn't have followed him down the path he chose! You know this! That was the whole reason we left the Gambino's, the fact that we could no longer follow what the boss was doing! Were we to be killed in the streets for the decisions those cock suckers were making! No we will give them this one and only chance! They prove them selves loyal to me, they live. They don't they die!" Carmine yelled into the phone.

He collected the money from the house for Vanessa, Bugsy's widow and her kids then he was going to go to his place which was just down the street from his own. Give his respects and the money. Then he would have her go out of town, till things were safe. He would put a few men to guard the house from attack. He was waiting for Cass to call with an update on her men.

Cass frowned, eyeing the body, something wasnt right. Then she heard th3 clicking. She snarled "You have to be ducking kidding me." She didn't hesitate she pull her gun and turned putting a bullet in Michelle's leg. It was just a flesh wound but it would be enough pain to keep her down. She heard the men running but knew she didn't have a chance at catching them now. She pulled out her cell phone. "Carmine you need to get your ass to your wife's house." Her voice was harsh and clearly pissed. "She just tried to kill me." She snarled glaring at Michelle who was on th3 ground in pain. Cass hung up and stormed over picking up the gun. "You are damn lucky Carmine thinks it'd cause too much trouble to kill you." She growled as she waited for Carmine.

 

[KINKYCanada]

Swearing loudly Carmine hung up the phone. "Andrew let's go!" He called Vanessa and asked her and the kids to come to his place where his men were and that he would be back later that day. Then he and Andrew set off for Manhattan again. It took nearly an hour to get to the condo. He walked in looking over he carnage. "Jesus fuck Michelle what the shit have you got yourself into?" He asked seeing her holding her leg Cass had bandaged it enough so Michelle wouldn't bleed out.

"Fuck you asshole!" Michelle spit at Carmine. He walked over to Gorilla and looked him over. He took his wallet and his keys out of his pocket.

"Why Gorilla? He was nothing but nice to everyone! Well you know what's going to happen right?" He asked. Michelle didn't answer she just looked down at the ground. He called a man on his phone and spoke Italian to him. Then when he was done he hung up. "Andrew you stay here. There are two men coming to pick this sorry sack of shit up they will also take care of Gorilla and clean the place. She moves you put another bullet in her but don't fucking kill her!" Carmine instructed the young mobster. "They will knock and ask for Mrs. Winters! If they say anything else you kill the fuckers!" Andrew nodded that he understood. "When they get in and start you leave and come to the warehouse!" Carmine then turned to Cassandra. "You ok? Anyone else here with her?" Carmine asked with concern for his lover.

KC

 

[AlwaysFaithful]

Cass reluctantly bandaged Michelle before pacing still holding her weapon. Her trigger finger flexed, Cassandra was itching to pull the trigger, she almost wished Michelle's gun hadn't misfired, Cass would've taken a bullet for the chance to kill Michelle herself. Letting them in she stood near the back glaring at Michelle, Carmine's words pleased her and she could only hope this would be the last time she ever saw the woman. She rolled her head "Hell, I'm fine. Her gun misfired. No She had a couple of guys hidden in the back room. Ian and Kenny." She remembered what Michelle called them. "Too damn bad her gun misfired. I could've killed her then." She mused her voice cold and lacking any real emotion. "Let's get outta here. I still have to check in with Hunter and Abigail." She said

 

[KINKYCanada]

Carmine went through the condo, he saw that the safe had been emptied, he swore loudly. "Fucking bitch. Michelle you think you helped your cause stealing 75 g's from me?" He called out looking at the empty safe. He only kept money there nothing incriminating.

He came out looked Michelle over. "You know your father might just kill you for this! I promised I wouldn't hurt you and we had a good thing going. Now he lost not only his drug importer! Which was me! But he lost his sellers! Me again! Lastly he lost all the protection my family gave his men, the safe houses, the cars and drivers, the muscle! So by my estimate he will lose close to a three hundred million, plus all the costs of setting up a new network if he can find a family willing to take on the risk, even if he does it'll be a year before he is moving product again plenty of time for all the other dealers to move in and take over his territory! I know he tolerates you but he loves money more then you! Hell I just might tell him all will be forgiven if he kills you!" Carmine said crouching before his wife. "You chose the wrong side my dear. I know we hated each other, our marriage was a sham, but you were wealthy and had the power to do as you pleased. Now you are going to at the very least rot in some whore house in Sicily, getting power fucked in the ass four times a day by all the sweaty mobsters who have a ten spot to blow. Hell if I were you I would probably ask Claudio to put a bullet in your head!" At these words Michelle broke down crying.

Carmine looked at Cass. "Let's go! Michelle enjoy the rest of your life!"

The two left saying no more words Cassandra knew that Michelle would probably die for what she did. And that Carmine wouldn't stop working with her family, the money was to good and everyone followed the rules. No selling to kids and violence was kept to a minimum. Things that were hard to find in the drug world.

Carmine got into the black Charger and let Cass drive away. He said nothing about what happened. Ian and Kenny were names he didn't know which worried him.

KC

Michelle. (How I pictured her!)

[AlwaysFaithful]

Cassandra didn't say a word while Carmine yelled at Michelle, just smirked. Finally they left, Cass slid into the driver's seat, gunning the engine as she headed to the warehouse, speeding. Pulling out her phone she called Hunter, talking while driving way too fast. "Good, bring what you found t the warehouse, set a fire, I want nothing left of that house.v She ordered before hanging up. "Hunt found something at Chris's. He'll meet us at the warehouse." She said looking over at Carmine as they flew down the freeway towards the warehouse

 

[KINKYCanada]

As they drove Carmine's curiosity was roused hearing Hunter found something, he didn't ask knowing he would know soon enough.

"You did the right thing not killing her. Her Father will do that for us. But leaving it to him you helped me save face! I thank you, I know it couldn't have been easy to stop from doing it!" Carmine said as Cass sped through the city toward Brooklyn. The warehouse was in a very large industrial park it was very large and secluded in with a bunch of abandoned buildings. If things went well they would kill a few of the enemy and maybe safe a few. Then form a solid plan of attack and figure out who might also be involved. The killing of the Columbo family member was also still fresh on his mind. Sore and angry Carmine was running out of patents with people trying to fuck with his business and his family. And knowing someone got close enough to try and kill Cass also made him mad.

"When we get there wait for me to call for the killing!After we go to the mattresses and we kill all who are left! We have a busy schedule ahead of us Cass. hope your team is up for it?" Carmine said putting a hand on her thigh and giving it a squeeze.

KC

 

[AlwaysFaithful]

Cass frowns, "You have no idea how difficult it was." She muttered. Driving though the city. "But, I knew you wouldn't want me to kill her." She mused. Of course, had Michelle been an active threat towards her, Cass would've killed her in an instant. However, the day Michelle was an active threat against a woman like Cassandra, well that was the day Casandra needed to reevaluate her career path. "Still, I'm pissed the other two got away, and that I have no idea who they are." The blonde shook her head.

Smirking, Cass eyed Carmine. "Oh, We're up for it." She promised. "Zev will arrive this afternoon. I said we'd meet him at my cabin, around 3. After that, my team and I will go hunting." She said, finally arriving at the warehouse, "And so the fun begins," She grinned, leaning over to kiss Carmine slowly, deeply, before getting out of the car, insuring her weapon was at her back, and her Kevlar vest was snug beneath her black t-shirt. She was prepared to take a bullet today, for Carmine if necessary. However, she was not prepared to die, and she took every measure to insure that she would live through this fight.

 

[KINKYCanada]

Carmine nodded at her as she told him about her team and his body guard. He knew the streets were going to get bloody and he knew he had to lay low so he could account for his whereabouts in case he was questioned by the police. He hated to hide but also knew Cass could work better if she wasn't worried about him.

After they kissed he got out and walked towards the men that were there. Billy along with all the capo's. Four of Chris's men showed up, there were about seventy five men there all standing with their respective bosses. All the bosses hugged Carmine and assured their loyalties were with him Chris's men knew something was up and spoke up.

"We don't hold no loyalties to a man who attacks the boss Carmine! I hope we here can prove to you that we are members of the DeSilva family! You were the one who let us prove we were your men and we still are despite what Chris did!" one of them spoke. Carmine listened. and nodded.

"Good to hear! But it isn't so easy. You speak of loyalty sure but you will now need to prove it to me all over again. Your friends that refused to come here as you have, will die! There is no second chance for them now! You did the smart move coming here risking death to try and prove you are my men. Now to do so you will give me all the info you have on the rest of Chris's men! If you lie or try and trick us you die! You will remain here with out your phones or weapons until I say you are free to go! Is that understood?" Carmine said to the four men who all instantly gave up both their phones and guns to other men. "Now to the rest of you! Bugsy was killed, the man who pulled the trigger is dead! I took two bullets myself, yet here I stand. Billy will be the new underboss! You all will give him you full and total respect! Cassandra, a name you all know and have all heard rumors about us! I don't care what you might think you know, what you might think at all really. But she is now my murder inc! She and her team answer to only me! You are free to chat and flirt and fuck just like everyone in the family, if she wants to! But you have no say over her, no will over her. This had been a problem with Bugsy and Chris they are not here! It all ends now, think of her and her team as my little helpers. They help me and only me! NO FUCKING QUESTIONS ASKED GOT IT?" Carmine yelled at the men there. All nodded and none of them dared talk back.

He had not wanted to do that but he thought it was high time people knew she was not just a soldier in the family that her skill set made her more to him and the family! The four men spent the next hour spilling all they knew to Billy and Carmine while Cass kept a close eye and a sharp ear on the conversation. When Hunter and Abby showed up Carmine pulled them aside with Cass, Dimitri, Billy. He was eager to hear what he found!

KC

 

[AlwaysFaithful]

Stepping into the warehouse, she stood behind Carmine a few feet. Demitri and Delaney moved to stand with her, they were part of her team. Soon Hunter and Abigail arrived, they moved like shadows, silently entering, standing with Cassandra. She eyed her team quietly, "Watch them carefully. I don't want any surprises." She felt like she was standing in a snake's pit, where a bite could come at any moment. She listened quietly as she stood near Carmine, acting very much as his body guard. But that was her intent. Most men here knew what she was capable of. She was hoping that would keep an all out war from starting here, today.

Finally they broke off, Carmine wanted to speak to Hunter ad Abigail. he pair told him all they knew, showing the documents. It was everything Billy promised it would be. Files on each of his men, and it gave a good idea of who would be unlikely to remain loyal to Carmine. There was a lot of evidence against the family. "There's nothing left of the house, it'll be burnt to the ground by now. We removed everything incriminating us." Abigail assured.

 

[KINKYCanada]

"Excellent! Cass you will be able to put all the info on these soon to be dead motherfuckers to good use!" He said leaving the information on Chris's men with her. "I will personally destroy all the shit on the family. You two did good! Keep it up and there will be good money in it for you! Speaking of that what money did you recover? You can call it an early bonus! Well... Anything under a hundred g's that is haha! I'll take anything over that!" He laughed. Carmine knew they wouldn't dare steal from him with Cass around.

"Billy leave six of your trusted men here with these four! No fucking around anything out of the ordinary they fucking die. Your men fail they die too." Billy nodded. "We'll make the Leather house our new HQ Billy you will head up everything when I am away. Capo's are the only ones to know where we are meeting. We will only talk business at my place use the usual codes with the men. We need to be on our toes, we are at the point of most danger now. My condo is to be left alone till this all blows over. Cass you have a good tech guy if I remember right? He's to do morning and evening bug sweeps at the Leather house and my office! We find one and we root out the rat! Other than the drugs everything goes on as usual! all business enterprises keep going. We will keep the diamond mine closed for now, move the girls to the Leather house and The Ranch to keep'em working!" Billy nodded to all the orders that were not directed at other people! "Cass and I are going to meet up with a watch dog for me. I'll call you later tonight!" Then Carmine turned to the men in the large room. "Ok Billy is your go to man no one does anything with out checking with Billy first. Failure to do so will be met with grave punishment. Capo's you know your job keep your business moving. Soldiers you will keep doing what you were. Chris's men are to be reported to Billy no body kills them!" Carmine turned back to Cass and her team. "Remember nobody innocent dies! Cass will be in complete charge of this! Don't let her down or the family down!" Then he called over the capo's one at a time to give them orders. While Cass talked to her team. Billy gave Cass and each of her team new clean phones that were loaded with the numbers she might need.

"These are the only phones you are to use while talking to Carmine or me!" Billy told her. Then he walked with his six chosen men to the four that were now on trial so to speak.

When Carmine was done he turned to Cass. "When ever you are ready we can go!" He was happy things went the way he wanted them to. No more would he meet with so many people from here on in he would only deal with men two to three at a time! He would also ramp up his security.

KC

 

[AlwaysFaithful]

When the meeting was all over, Cass told her team to lay low, wait for her call. She had to look through the documents before she knew who to have them kill. Cassandra nodded to Carmine, "Let's go." She slid into her car, with Carmine, driving 20 minutes to her cabin. There was a big black Chevy Tahoe sitting in the driveway. "That's Zev's truck." She assured before getting out. She led the way into the house, just in case she was wrong. Her weapon in her hand. "You will not be needing that here, Cassie." Cass rolls her eyes, holstering her gun, "What have I told you? I don't like being called that." But still, there is a light in her eyes as she turned to her old friend.

Zev stepped out of the shadows, a tall man, at 6'1", he had short dark hair, and his eyes were a warm honey color. "Good to see you again," He said, as he hugged her lightly, pressing a kiss to her cheek. "And you, Zev. I'm pleased that the rumors of your death were wrong." He chuckled, "Not by much, it was hairy there for a bit." Cass nodded, "This is Carmine DeSilva." She introduced them. "Carmine, this is Zev Daggett, one of the few people I trust with my life." Cassandra eyed Zev, "I need you to keep Carmine safe while I clean house a bit."

The Israeli nodded, "He is safe with me, Cassandra." He assured, as he offered his hand to shake Carmine's. "Good to meet you," He said.

 

[KINKYCanada]

Carmine shook his hand and said his hello then waited for the two old friends to get re-acquainted, after that he told Cassandra that he wanted to remain at his house in Staten Island and asked her again if she still knew an electronics expert to sweep for bugs at the house and the club he remembered that she knew a guy at one time and hoped she could still use him now. He didn't bother asking her about her plans for the killing. She was to good at it to debate with her. That and he wanted her to not second guess herself with his ramblings.

"I would like you to come by later though!" Carmine said before he was willing to leave with Zev. He trusted her but he was still not 100% on him. She also knew Carmine was talking about sex, whether it was an alpha male thing or that he was really just horny she didn't know. Carmine was a confident man but could be prone to jealousy at times.

KC

 

[AlwaysFaithful]

Cass nods "yeah I know a guy. I'll call him when I'm on the road, send him to you." She knew she had to get going, had to make plans with her team. She smirked when he said he wanted her to come over tonight. She knew what he meant. "I'll be there." She assured, walking over she kissed him deeply "Stay alive, would you?" She said before leaving. Calling her team to meet her she drove back towards the city "Hey Jackson, you still the best tech on the east coast? Good, head 5I this address, I've got a job for you." She talked with her favorite tech as she drove. He was the best she'd ever found. Arriving at a small abandoned building she met with her team. The five of them would carry out the hits. They sat and discussed, deciding who to kill and who to kill first. It would be a long afternoon


Zev went to the door, locking it. He didn't know the story and didn't care to. He owed Cassandra a debt. And even if he didn't, he would have came, they were friends. He knew these two were lovers and he didn't care. Zev knew Cassandra slept with whom ever she pleased whenever she pleased. He didn't have a problem guarding her lover now.

 

[KINKYCanada]

After she left Carmine found he was a little worried, she had been through a rough time even before the civil war broke out. He was sure he would see her again but in what state. He also knew that the sex they would have would be rough. Though still in pain, all the death had made him super horny. "So tell me Zev what's your story?" Though not proud of it, he was fishing for stories about Cass and Zev. It was a twisted little fetish of his. Most women he fucked, he liked to hear them talk about past sexual exploits. But he cared nothing for them and it made it hot for him. He cared very deeply for Cass so he never asked her about her sexual past in bed. Not that she would tell him! That was another thing he loved about her. She wasn't willing to bend to his every will like so many of the other women.

While they talked Carmine texted Billy. "The eagle left the perch, I think I might take the guide and head in!" Billy would know that it meant Cass had gone hunting and he would be going back to the house soon and with Zev in tow.

KC

 

[AlwaysFaithful]

Zev tilted his head, a faint smirk on his lips. "I figure you only care about the part that concerns Cassandra?" he asks, his Israeli accent rather thick. "I was a Mossad black ops agent, tasked mostly with assassinations. We happened to have the same target. She got to him first. " he chuckled. "I was tasked to learn everything I could about her. Before long Mossad got pissed about her presence in the middle east and ordered me to kill her. That was easier said than done. By that point I knew as much about her as there was to find out and I didn't want to kill her. Of course by disobeying that order I was dishonorably discharged from Mossad." He shrugged not seeming bothered by that at all.

"We stuck together for a few months, nearly 9 I suppose. She has her assignments and I aided her. We slept together, and traveled through the middle east. Eventually she needed to return to the states and I did not particularly want to, so we parted ways." He explained. "We talked occasionally, but it was two years until we saw each other again, my wife was kidnapped in London on our honeymoon. I needed help in finding her so I called Cassandra. We tore London apart but we got her back. Haven't seen each other since that, that was three years ago." he said, sitting on the couch across from Carmine

 

[KINKYCanada]

"Sorry it's none of my business! I can get a little jealous at times is all. She is free to do as she pleases!" Carmine was very unsure of Zev. He wouldn't have given it a second thought but now that he was fighting men that he at one time trusted, he was hesitant to trust to many people now. He went to her liqueur cabinet and poured himself a tall drink, then another and then a third. With his pain gone he sat back down. "So before we head to my house is there anything you need?"

Carmine would treat him well and not dwell on the fact that he used to fuck his now would be girlfriend if you could all what they had that! He thought of Cass now in her glory doing what she probably loved to do most in this world. He subconsciously checked his Glock and re holstered it! "Well let's go! We can make any stops you need to on the way to Staten Island! Do you know your way around New York?" Carmine knew he could be condescending at times and now that he was a little on the tipsy side he knew Zev might have to put up with a little more shit then he was used to.

KC

 

[AlwaysFaithful]

Zev shakes his head, "I don't mind questions. Besides you are trusting me with your life, you are entitled to know who you are trusting." Standing he shook his head, "I don't need to make any stops and yes, I know my way around the city." he led the way out to his SUV "Where do you need to stop?" He asked as he started the engine. Once Carmine told him where he needed to go Zev headed into the City.

Cassandra stepped into a house quietly her weapon had a silencer on it. Sneaking to the living room she shot the four men in the room, turning she left as silently as she came. Heading off she found her next target and drove off

 

[KINKYCanada]

Billy was held up in the strip club, making sure he was up to speed on all that had happened to his boss and the rest of the family, he was also trying to get info on the killing of the Columbo family member. He was a real go getter and if that had anything to do with the war he wanted to know about it. Though he heard that Carmine had basically started it when he attacked Chris.

Carmine didn't fish for anything else from Zev. When they got to the house Vanessa and her family were there Carmine introduced them to Zev and made sure they were comfortable. Then he ordered food for all of them. As they ate Carmine told Zev about all his legit businesses. "If you want pussy it's only a call away!" Carmine laughed. Vanessa who knew the score with wiseguys giggled to.

"Now the house is safe but we will not talk business till the techie that Cass is sending us gets here and checks the house!" Vanessa nodded to this knowing to shut up till she knew it was safe not that she would be talking any business anyway!

KC

 

[AlwaysFaithful]

Once settled in to Carmine's home, Zev sent Cass a text, assuring her all was well. He learned the Techie Jackson should be arriving within the hour. At Carmine's offer, Zev smirked "Thanks but I do believe my wife may oppose that." there was amusement and love in his eyes at the mention of his wife. "She's not the type to share." He said with a chuckle. Soon enough Jackson arrived and Zev let him in, checking his ID then searching him for weapon before allowing him to search for any listening devices. Glancing at the clock he knew he had several hours yet until Cassandra returned which would allow him to return to his hotel for the night. He looked at Carmine. "I was nut texting with Cassandra. Thought you'd want to know she's alright, working h3r way through her list."

 

[KINKYCanada]

"Hell man I was married! Still am actually and I fuck whomever I want. Shit Vanessa how many men in your life?" Carmine asked the tall dark haired Italian, who he had known for years.

"Not as many as Bugsy!" She laughed.

"But I respect what you are saying and I will leave it for now!"

After Jackson arrived Carmine and Vanessa went into the theater where her kids were eating and watching a movie. So Carmine could let Zev do his thing securing Jackson before letting him do what he needed to. After he knew it was safe he called Billy and talked with him for awhile.

After he stayed in his office drinking waiting for Cass to come home and fill him in on it all, after he would not hold back with her he didn't care who was in the house.

KC

 

[AlwaysFaithful]

Zev knew it was a bit odd, in their line of work to not sleep around, but since meeting Athena he had no urge to be wit anyone but her. It was several hours before he got a text saying Cass was on her way home.

"Come on Danny, time to go." Cass said. It had been the two women on this last hit. And it had gotten bloody. Danny had a twisted arm and bruised ribs. Cass had a thin cut running from just under her left eye down to her jaw. "It's been a long day, I want my man, a shower and some food. In that order." Cass groaned as she slid sorely into her Charger. Danny smirked, she knew of carmine and Cass's relationship but Cass didn't speak of it often. "That sounds like a good plan." Danny agreed as she called her own man to see where he was at.

Cass dropped her off at her house before she continued on to Carmine's home, which she often thought of as her own many days. Walking in she was greeted first by Zev. "All was quiet, he's in his office." Cass nodded "Thanks Zev. Go on back to your wife for the night." Cass slid her boots off as Zev left. Walking as silent as shadows she slipped into Carmine's office. "Hey." She greeted

 

[KINKYCanada]

Carmine was sitting looking out over his back yard and pool, his back to the door. when he heard her he turned to see her. His heart beat faster when he looked at Cass. He had grown up mistreating women and using them, he hit, hurt and had even killed a few, never had he thought that he would have a woman in his life who he cared the way he did for Cass. Michelle his own wife was just a convenient formality, no love, no worry and no passion.

But with Cass his whole view of women changed, for the first time he felt love, caring and compassion. He stood up and walked around the large oak desk. "Hey, I want you to tell me all about what happened but first!" Carmine pulled her into a powerful kiss. his hands busy trying to pull her clothes off as well at his own. He wanted her so badly, he wanted to make love, and he wanted to fuck her brains out, he wanted to hold her and throw her around the bedroom, and he wanted it all at once. He was an emotionally charged beast and was going to let it all out!

Vicky had given him enough pills to keep him happy for a year! That coupled with all the booze he was feeling no pain.

KC

 

[AlwaysFaithful]

Cassandra smiled, seeing him, as she shrugged off her leather jacket which had slices in it, exposing her body underneath, hidden only by a tank top. She had cuts along her arms, and a few on her chest, clearly she got into a fight with someone with a knife. Her eyes never left Carmine as she took her weapon off, setting it on the desk. She knew she felt something when she saw Carmine, especially after a long day. For a long time she called it fondness. But recently, she wasn't so sure. She was fond of people like Zev, Demitri, and Danny. This was more. She wasn't sure it was love. She'd grown up, being told by many professional that she didn't have the capacity for love, she'd never felt love before, But Cass had the growing suspicion that was exactly what this was.

She met the kiss without hesitation, her hands fisted in his hair as she kissed back. Her teeth scraping his lower li, her tongue brushing his. Her cold eyes fluttered shut, simply enjoying the feel of their bodies pressed together as their mouths fought for dominance. Though she would let Carmine win, she always did. He was the only man, she'd ever surrendered to. Only man she'd ever wanted to surrender to.
