Angelo Rossi

All the mob bosses were gathered under my roof tonight. Fat, arrogant bastards, drowning in my alcohol, eyeing my team, pretending their wives weren't watching from across the room. This annual meeting of power and crime was tradition. And, as always, chaos was inevitable. Some years it was blood. Other years, betrayal. Tonight? We'd see. I stood with one of my potential partners, half-listening to his words, while my focus remained where it should be—on her. My wife. She was perfect tonight. No—she was deadly. That black dress I'd chosen for her hugged every curve as if it were made of sin itself. High-cut, back exposed, and her usual elegance wrapped in something darker. More dangerous. I bought it knowing she'd look divine in it. I was right. But that dress did more than just look good. It made it hard to think straight. I wanted nothing more than to kick all the men out of my house just so I could fold her over the nearest table and make her scream my name.
"Your wife?" A voice cut through my thoughts. I turned around. One of the Russian bosses. A glass of something expensive in his hand, a tailored suit like armor. "Yes. My wife. My" I grumbled. A man doesn't ask about another man's wife unless he's looking for trouble, ally or not. He nodded, his lips curving around the rim of the glass. "She's very beautiful." "She is." "A lucky man."

"No." I slowly lit a cigarette, letting it hang from my lips. "A lucky man." My eyes found her again, always her. She was watching me now. Not the room. Not the other wives. Me. And she saw the cigarette. Her gaze sliced through the air like a blade. Challenging me. I smiled and put it away, just to see her expression soften. Satisfied. Arrogant.

"Can't you smoke?" the Russian asked, amused. I didn't look at him. "I can't disobey my wife."
