The Mafia King

Alora walked alone to her final class of the day she'd got three months left at uni before she earned her degree. She was meeting Liana later to go to the most exquisite club in the city starlight; Liana had got them VIP seen as her brother: Castillo Adesso owned the club. They ran a shit load of clubs here in the U.K. and many more in Italy they were well known for their dealings with the Italian Mafia. He was hot and he knew it, he prayed on girls that knew he was and An Italian sex god. Most of the Adesso family worked in clubs across the U.K.

and Italy. Alora didn't know much about their background, but she knew enough not to get involved. Liana kept herself to herself. They'd become friends at college and six years on they were still friends. She just wished Gianni was still around; he'd have loved it at Uni, he was a real popular guy that only had eyes for her.

They'd met in the last two years of high school and had hit it off right away. She knew he had three other brothers and his father was a well outed business man, what she didn't know was his family and Liana's family were connected to each other. Castillo had promised he'd watch over her; she was like a sister to him. She'd spent most weekends at their six bedroom house. Liana and Alora were joined at the hip.

Gianni was now in the U.K. and he was going to take her home, his home. Castillo has called him a week ago letting him know that both her and Liana were going to be at starlight the evening of the 21st. He'd given them VIP passes to go into the VIP lounge he said once Gianni had arrived he'd be waiting for him to take him to her. He

also said that Alora was staying at there's the weekend. Gianni has told him to pack some bags cause he and Liana were joining him in Italy for the holidays. He agreed and disconnected.

Liana had met Alora after her class had finished and they headed back to her house to have dinner, shower. Get ready and plaster themselves in makeup. Both of them were wearing short dresses, one black and a violet colour matching clutch bags and high heeled shoes, their makeup not too extravagant, but enough to get noticed. They linked arms going out of the house. Liana locked you, making sure that the alarm was active.

They slipped onto the stretch limo sliding across the leathers seats the music pumping. The door closed and the driver got in pulling away.

"I can't wait until we get there."

"How the hell you manage VIP Lia?"

"My Bro. You know he owns the club."

"I do."

"It's your birthday Alora. I know you like to live it up like you did last year."

"Don't remind me I was shit faced."

"We were drunk Alora and you will be tonight. We will be totally wrecked. Your 21st was a blast this one will be better. We'll be with the stars and not like last year. Castillo tried to get them last year, but they were all gone not this year ugh- ugh he made sure he got them."

"Thanks for all this."

"My pleasure hun, you're like a sister to me and I know Castillo feels the same."

She smiled. Liana poured them some champagne. "To us and all of our memories and making new ones in the future. Happy birthday babe."

They clinked glasses drinking their champagne, two bottles later they'd arrived at the club and tipsy. The driver opened the door and they got out Liana tipped the driver before we walked over to the club entrance. Castillo stood by the door waving them in. The line to get in was huge and many unhappy faces stared at them as Liana waved the VIP'S in front of their faces, smiling.

"You're evil Lia."

"I know." She Chucked. "They're just jealous that we are VIP and they're not."

"Follow me, it's up the stairs."

They followed Castillo through the corridor which was pre lit with red lights the music thumping louder as they walked further down. They came here the same time last year and had queue for two hours before Castillo finally called them in and apologised for their wait. Not tonight they were VIP and they got a free pass allowing them in before the gathered line going past the car park it was going to be a busy night tonight.

He opened the door at the top of the stairs. "Welcome to the VIP ladies. Keep your tags around your necks at all times or you won't be aloud back in."

"Thanks bro."

"Thanks Castillo."

"My pleasure. And happy birthday Alora." He said kissing her on the cheek.

"Thanks."

"Enjoy your evening." He closed the door as he left.

The two friends linked arms "This is it Alora, are you ready to do this?"

"As ready as I'll ever be Lia."

They both took a deep breath. They could still hear the music pumping as we entered the VIP room. It was almost a mirror of downstairs, but more luxurious with the leather sofas spread across the back of the room, the bar the other. Many Celebrities gathered and groupies. This was going to be fun. "Come on let's get a drink."

We walked over to the bar ordering cocktails. The room soon became full. He stood at the bar. He looked at Alora and Lana. "So what can I get you girls?'

"Sorry were not interested we don't know you."

"How rude of me I'm Raven, my band is over their the misfits."

"Holy crap we're sorry."

He smiled. "So what can I get you lovely ladies?"

"Sex on the beech."

"Coming up." He smiled calling the waiter over. We waited as he made the cocktails and placed them down with the scotch in the rocks.

"Thanks."

"My pleasure." He studied both of us. "So how come I haven't seen you in here before?"

"Lia's brother got us the VIP's for tonight."

"Must be an important night."

Liana spoke this time. "It is , its Alora' s birthday."

"So how old are you Alora?"

"I'm twenty two."

He leaned forward pressing his lips on hers kissing her, she felt faint. "Happy birthday."

"Th-thanks."

He smiled trying not to laugh. "You know you two are really different than the other girls here, you don't fall over yourselves to get to know me or my band. What's your secret?"

"We don't have one."

"I'm sure that's not true."

"It is."

"She's right you may be hot, but we don't class ourselves as low as your groupies. We enjoy your music. And we never fall over celebs. It's so degrading."

"I like your honesty. Here some VIP tickets to our next gig." He said holding them out.

"Are you sure?"

"I am, please take them."

"Sure."

They took the tickets and they both looked at them. "This is in Italy."

"Not a problem is it?"

"We're at uni."

"You have passports right?"

"Yeah Bu.."

"I'd like it if you were there. They include backstage passes too. We're on for three nights; these are for the last night. I don't give them away likely. I'd like your company after the show so whatever it takes be there."

"Okay."

They looked at each other and how the hell were they going to get to Italy the gig was in a few days.?

Castillo waited by the VIP entrance for Gianni. He looked at his watch as the limo pulled up, the tall male in a dark suit opened the door. A tall dark haired, dark eyed Italian make slipped out the door closed and he walked over to Costello. '"Gianni glad you could make it." He said, holding out his hand.

"Castillo long time no see." He said, shaking his hand bringing him in for a hug. "My apologise for my lateness. Damn fucking English traffic. Fucking road works, we got diverted."

"No probs you're here now."

They dropped hands. "So is she here?"

"They both are."

"I can't wait to see her."

"Raven Lupo has taken to both of them. He's been buying them drinks all night."

"He's here? I thought he was on tour."

"He returns to Italy tomorrow, he's passing through."

Gianni nodded.

"Come on let's go up. She has no idea that your here."

"Good I'd like to surprise her."

"You'll do that alright. You've been gone that long I doubt you'll recognise each other."

He nodded to the others and they followed suit the four brothers following Castillo into the club. They walked up to the VIP lounge.

He opened the door and Gianni and his brothers followed through. Castillo leaned over to Gianni. "Over there the two girls dancing sexually with Raven and his band."

Gianni looked over.

"There she is with Raven."

"He's a little close isn't he?"

"You know Raven Gianni he's a flirt. I just think they impressed him cause they didn't fall at his feet."

Gianni grinned. He and Raven had met in Italy about four years ago and had been friends ever since. He'd gone to all of his gigs when he was in Italy and he was going to be at his next; he had to persuade Alora to go to Italy with him. Like tonight it was almost midnight when they had arrived in the U.K. and now it was almost two, he hadn't much time to convince her to go with him. He ordered four scotch on the rocks for himself and his brothers. He downed the first watching her, Raven holding her tightly at the waist as she swayed to the music, his brother Levi dancing with Liana those two sure knew how to pick girls up. He put the glass on the table asking for a refill. Four more he decided to go over to her, he'd watched them for far to long now he was taking what was his.

He smashed the glass onto the bar, striding over to two of them. Tallen nodded his eyes towards Raven, who looked at Gianni, he knew who he was even if Alora didn't. Raven slipped his arms from around her and stepped back. He was not going to argue with the Mafia king no fucking way, he knew this guy inside out and he'd prefer his insides were they were, they looked at each other and nodded.

Giant slipped his arm around her dancing with her he leaned over moving her hair off her shoulders. Kissing her neck. "Mmh you taste good." He said into her ear.

She turned looking at him confused, who the he'll was he where was Raven?'

She was about to ask him those exact questions, he placed his lips on hers kissing her passionately slipping his tongue in the room spinning as he deepened his kiss.

Alora groaned, coming round. She looked around the large room, one she didn't recognise the bed had silk covers and pillows where the hell was she?

"So you're finally awake?'" His voice rang through the room as he closed the door behind him. He made his way over to the bed.

She watched him, his muscles were something else, they looked like he was in the gym seven days a week training for sorting mysterious things. His hair is almost black in colour. She trailed down his six pack, he was half naked all he had on was shorts which looked like swimming shorts. But, why? there surely wasn't a swimming pool around here.

He sat on the bed. "How are you this morning Alora?"

"Fine. Who the hell are you, and where the hell are we?"

"We are in my room in my families mansion in Italy."

"You didn't answered my first question."

"Gianni"

"Do I know you?"

'"Yes you do."

"Are you sure? I think I'd remember someone as good looking as you."

He laughed getting closer. His eyes dark and fascinating. "You seriously don't remember me Alora?"

"No I don't."

"They say time heals it sure as hell didn't take you long to forget me."

"Stop messing with me." She demanded "I don't know you, so stop pretending I do."

He got closer talking into her ear. "Gianni Robustelli."

Her eyes widened. He smiled.

"No you can't be. He went to Italy when we finished school you look nothing like him."

"I grew up my princess. And so did you. You haven't changed you're still sexy when your nervous."

"Why am I here?"

"For our wedding of course."

"Of course." She said sarcastically, She suddenly looked at him. "You what?"

He smiled. He couldn't be serious.

"I can't marry you. I have uni."

"And you'll still be able to go and finish your degree. You're on Easter vacation right."

"Yeah."

"Good, the wedding is next Saturday."

"What?"

He smiled mischievously.

"Your serious aren't you?"

"Deadly."

"Oh shit."

He kissed her forehead and moved away. Pulling the concert ticket out of his pocket. "Where did you get these?"

"Raven gave them to me and Liana, how the hell did you get them?"

"They dropped out of her bag, so I picked them up. We'll be going together."

"Where's Liana?"

"Here. She and Castillo will be joining us to."

"Oh."

"And by the way they'll be playing at our wedding."

"How the hell you pull that one off?"

"Like you managed to get these."

"Can I see Liana?"

"Later. I was going to ask if you'd like to go for a swim before brunch."

"You have a pool?"

"I do. You'll find all your clothes you need in the wardrobe."

"How did they get here?"

"The same way as you did sweetheart."

"Did we?"

He grinned. "We most certainly did."

"Oh."

"It's nothing to be ashamed of Alora. We'll be having lots of sex while you're here and after the wedding." He smiled

"What happens when I finish uni?"

"You'll come and live here with me. Everything will be all sorted by then."

She swallowed she hadn't seen him for almost seven years so why now, what was the story being his marriage proposal she was sure as hell going to find out?

"So will you join me?"

"Yeah. Can you please give me a little privacy."

"It's nothing that I haven't seen before."

"Please."

"You'll have to get used to been naked around me Alora. We'll be married in less than a week and I'm sure you won't be wearing anything in my company."

"Please."

"Sure." He pecked her in the forehead pulling himself up off the bed walking out closing the door behind him.

She pulled herself out of bed. Walking over to the wardrobe her clothes spread in order she pulled her tanking out slipping into it and slipping her feet into her flip flops making her way through the large hours of the staircase there were a lot of men in suits dotted around the house was he some kind of celebrity? She'd remembered they'd had security at their house in the U.K. when she asked why he'd told her that they'd been broke into several times and she'd accepted it. Liana's house was no different, she'd just accepted it as she got on with all the security there.
