“See, Mara always came to me. Even after she got married and had Luca. That father daughter relationship is something special. Were you close with your father, Shayna?”
“No,” I said. “I never met him.”
“See, now that’s a damn shame. That’s a real damn shame. But anyway, the night poor Luca was sick, Mara called me. I could hear my grandson crying in the background. The poor guy was in pain. I told her to stay put and let me get a doctor to come to her. No need to leave the house at two in the morning. But Antonio insisted on driving Luca. He said he could get there quicker. I wasn’t happy about it, but I trusted Antonio. And little did I know Zander had been waiting for Antonio to leave the house. The last sound I ever heard of Luca wasn’t his giggle. It wasn’t the way he made bubbles with his lips. It was the crying of my grandson, in pain.”
I saw the look in Fiore’s eyes. This wasn’t a normal man. The death of his son-in-law and grandson had him teetering on insanity. True insanity.
“I knew nothing of it,” I whispered. “I mean, of what Zander did and when.”
“I’m not blaming you,” Fiore said. “You wanted to get away from him and now you’re helping me with this war.”
“Do you understand… getting pregnant…”
Fiore stood from the bed, gun in hand. “People have babies all the time. Mara is still grieving. Marie insists on leaving her be for now. So my chances of another grandchild are very slim. But I can welcome a baby into my own. I can replace what was lost.”
“It won’t replace your bloodline,” I said, taking a chance by talking back to Fiore.
“You’re right,” Fiore said. “It won’t keep my bloodline going. But it will ease the pain in my family. We will have a child to love and raise. Mara will see beyond the grief of losing Antonio… and then I can bring another man into her life. Not to mention I get to steal life from Zander. Drive him insane before I kill him. Plus, the power of life and love…”
Fiore just stared off into space. The man was beyond crazy.
He looked at me. “Understand?”
“Yeah,” I whispered.
“Good,” Fiore said. He grabbed at the door. “Now it’s time for some proof.”
“Some what?” I asked.
“I want to see it.”
“See what?”
Fiore smiled big and his eyes narrowed. “I want proof that my commands are being obeyed. I’m going to watch Finn fuck you, Shayna.”

My breath and words were jumbled and stolen. Fiore tore open the door and whistled. A second later Finn appeared in the doorway, a man standing with a gun to the side of his head.
“You work under pressure, right?” Fiore asked Finn.
“Jesus Christ,” Finn said. “Are you fucking kidding me, Fiore? After everything I’ve done for you. Come on.”
“No,” Fiore said with a smile. “You’re going to come in…” He pointed at me. “… in her!”
Fiore and his thug laughed.
“Get that dick hard,” Fiore said. “What do you need? You need Shayna naked? You need her to touch herself?”
I started to shake under the covers.
Fiore looked at me, waving the gun like it was a laser pointer and I was some kind of exhibit. “Go ahead, Shayna. Tear those covers off. Show it all off. Get your man hard.”
Get my man hard? Finn was… my man?
I looked at Finn and my stomach flipped. His words ran through my mind from last night. All I was to him was someone to fuck, right? Fiore was just driving that point home right now.
I started to push the covers down, trying to wonder if I really had a choice right now. If I didn’t do it, Fiore would. If I didn’t let Finn inside me, then Fiore would have someone else. Not that I didn’t want Finn… just…
“Come on, come on,” Fiore said. “I don’t have all day. Just get it over with. I want to see it happen. So I know my command…”
“She can’t,” Finn yelled. “Okay? She fucking can’t.”
“Why not?” Fiore asked. “She have a dick or something?”
“She just can’t,” Finn repeated.
“Give me a reason,” Fiore said.
I had nothing. My eyes were wide. My cheeks on fire. My body tensed and scared.
What was Finn doing?
“She’s… she’s got her thing.”
“Her thing?” Fiore asked.
“Her monthly thing.”
Fiore looked right at me. “You’re bleeding right now?”
I hurried and nodded. “Yes. It’s my time of the month. Sorry. I was embarrassed to say anything. I didn’t want you to kill me.”
“Are you lying to me, Shayna?”
Now I had to get bold. I threw the covers off my body, showing that I was in nothing but a t-shirt and panties. I kept my legs together, tight. I knew everyone watching could see my boobs pressing against the shirt, including my hard nipples.
“Want to check?” I asked. “Touch me? See if I’m lying?”
My face got hotter, redder.
Fiore looked but didn’t approach.
“She’s not lying,” Finn said. “I have no problem with it, just for the record. I’ll ride that out. You know me, Fiore. Nothing stops my cock.”
Fiore looked between me and Finn. He raised an eyebrow. “But you just hesitated, Finn.”
“I don’t want my boss watching me work,” Finn said. “You might use my moves and charm on Marie.”
