Ciao Bella

by Dixie Lynn Dwyer

  “I don’t know how this all happened. It isn’t fair. My parents, my brothers, and I were just trying to continue a family tradition. A business that helped to put all of us through college and to continue and be close with our parents. I had no idea how deeply connected Costano and Feluppe are in the mafia or whatever they call it these days,” she said and she sat up and swallowed. Chord reached up to wipe away the remnants of a tear that fell.

  “Sweetie, listen to me. These men are not deeply connected to a mafia. They’re men who prey on the weak, the unknowing. Your family, your business, isn’t the only one, the only family, who have become a victim of their tactics.”

  “I don’t understand. I thought you said this guy Asid was a terrorist and that the others were being looked at as co-conspirators to assist Asid in some kind of attack or forceful action on US soil?”

  “To be honest, the way the investigation has been going on our end, it’s almost like the connection to Asad came from men who are associated with him and his activities. Men who get access to weapons and artillery. You see, distribution of firearms illegally is big business, and profitable, if you have a way of doing it without getting caught. That’s what the feds, what all of us are discovering. These routes across Texas and other states are run by small time criminals, operators looking for quick, good money. They get paid well by whomever is in charge of operations. So your uncle, your family’s truck, are part of hundreds of other trucking companies, small businesses that have been used for the sole purpose of transporting these illegal guns. It could be as small as one to three boxes or as large as a tractor trailer load, perhaps even bigger,” Chord explained.

  “So when my uncle decided to get involved with this type of thing. To look the other way and even go behind our backs and use our truck, we all became suspects, people who were aiding these criminals like Costano, Valderez, and even Asid, a terrorist?” she asked, her eyes filling up with tears.

  “Yes,” Chord said to her.

  “Why would my uncle do this? Why? I mean my father told him about what happened to us in New York. He told him about Costano forcing his hand.”

  “Well until Sodo and them talk to your uncle, which isn’t going to happen until the raid on these warehouses gets approved and set up, we won’t know. What we’re assuming is that he ultimately didn’t know that Costano was even connected to any of this. His main contact was Pino who pulled him in and enticed him with cash money, and low risk.”

  “All these men, they get away with doing this, with destroying people’s lives, their businesses, and taking whatever they want. It isn’t fair. My family and I could lose this restaurant too. We could wind up in jail if it seems like we knew this was happening even though we didn’t. It isn’t right.”

  “No, it isn’t right, but we know the truth and we’re going to do everything we can to ensure you and your family are out of danger or jeopardy of being arrested and charged,” Lucky said to her.

  She laid her head back against Chord’s shoulder and covered Lucky’s hand that was on her thigh.

  “Thank God I met you guys. I’m so grateful that you’re in the profession that you are in and that you can help us. I don’t know what we would do without you.”

  * * * *

  “We have about four days to pull this together, to keep it under wraps with only certain people aware of these raids. The main place looks to be this one in Crescent Valley. From what Bella overheard at that dinner tonight, there’s going to be some kind of shipment there. We won’t be able to get Costano and Feluppe though because they would be in New York by then. We can work things out with Detective Floyd from NYPD. It sounds like some big shots will be at that estate in New Jersey. They can coordinate with detectives in that state as well,” Vince said their boss, Lucas.

  “You guys are doing a great job, and that young woman has helped immensely with the information she had provided, plus the location as well. That could be the main headquarters for everything. Do you know that the first satellite images of that spot in Crescent Valley show a huge fenced-in property? It’s listed as a manufacturing facility for equipment parts. The store is registered to be a hell of a lot smaller than the large building and multiple storage facilities on the property. So on another note, where do you want to place this family, and Bella for safe keeping?”

  “Lucas, we can’t take them all away from their restaurant. There won’t be anyone who can run things. I say we assign them protection there. When Costano comes looking for Bella, she won’t be there.”

  “But the raids and getting him to go to New York are the problem. She isn’t there or doesn’t go with him, then what?”

  “She isn’t going with him. She will be with us.”

  “Oh shit, Vince. Seriously, you guys and Bella?” Lucas asked.

  “It happened, and before we knew her family was involved in this.”

  “Fuck, this is going to go south fast if you guys can’t keep your shit together.”

  “Why wouldn’t we be able to keep our shit together?”

  “Well for one, two specific federal agents you and Sodo’s team can’t stand are looking for Bella.”

  “What for?”

  “Seems she may have had a conversation with them, and by tomorrow morning they are going to want to talk to her again.”

  Vince was angry. Why hadn’t Bella told him and his brothers about the agents?

  “Ask her about it but be calm. Knowing those guys they more than likely threatened her family and her life. They would do anything to catch Asid. That’s who they really want.”

  “Well we aren’t going to hand her over to the wolves. We’ll work it out.”

  * * * *

  Vince and Lucky walked back into the room, and she could tell that they were angry.

  “Any particular reason why you left out having a conversation with two federal agents?” he asked. Chord’s hold tightened on her, and he and Lucky narrowed their eyes.

  “Who told you about that, the agents?” she asked.

  “It doesn’t matter who told me. The point is that you knew this and in everything you told us you didn’t say a word about the agents,” Vince said to her.

  “They told me not to say anything to anyone no matter what. They told me that my family and I would go to jail.”

  “What agents?” Slane asked, standing there. Lucky got up too, and as she tried to move Chord held her firmly on his lap.

  “Who the fuck do you think, Slane?” Vince told him.

  “Andrews and Ford? Those fucking dicks. What did they do, Bella? How and when did they approach you, and what did they say? You better not leave a fucking thing out.” Slane raised his voice and she was scared. These men were so big, so capable, and she was caught in the middle of all this stuff she knew nothing about. She told them exactly what happened, what they said, how they threatened her and her family.

  “Those assholes. They knew that Costano was coming to the restaurant and that he would indicate he wanted to take you to New York. They probably have fucking wire taps and shit on him and Feluppe. What dicks!” Slane said.

  “They were going to use her as bait. They still would be, but we wound up grabbing her and her family. Motherfucker, this is going to get sticky,” Lucky said.

  “It already is. I told Lucas she was here with us and that we’re going to protect her and she isn’t going anywhere,” Vince said but his eyes were locked on her.

  “I’m sorry. This isn’t fair, and I was fearful for my family, for what could happen to them all because of lies, because of my uncle getting involved in this stuff. Oh God, I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to be part of this, but my family isn’t guilty of anything.” She cried and covered her face with her hands.

  * * * *

  Chord watched her sleeping on the couch, her legs over his lap as his brothers continued with phone calls and debated on what to do next. It would be inevitable. The federal agents had full authority over the investigation, and now that it
seemed heavier criminal businessmen were involved it meant multiple task forces, a combined simultaneous raid, but all at the same time and all while somehow Bella would be in New York with Costano. They were angry and disgusted and thought about taking her away, hiding her somewhere and saying that she disappeared on them, but they couldn’t. This was a huge mess, and the agents were not being sensible at all.

  Vince walked into the room. “We need to get some rest.” She heard his voice, and she stirred. Her eyes were red, her chest all blotchy as she sat up and ran her fingers through her hair.

  “Oh God, what time is it? I need to go home.”

  “You aren’t going anywhere,” Vince told her. She locked gazes with him, those glowing caramel eyes, her tan skin, the way her blouse parted, exposing the cleavage of her breasts, all aroused him. She was theirs, to protect, to possess and love, it was just really bad timing, but she needed them.

  “Stay here with us tonight. We can protect you from here on out,” Chord said to her, stroking her thigh.

  She looked at Chord. “I don’t know if that’s such a good idea,” she said to him, but looked at Vince as Lucky and Slane came closer and Vince exhaled. Chord narrowed his eyes and Slane and Lucky both reacted.

  “Why not? Give us one damn good reason why we can’t be together tonight, and every night from here on out?” Lucky asked.

  “Enough of the excuses. We all want to be together. We want you and you want us. We aren’t going to use you, and I guarantee we’ll be the best lovers you’ve ever had,” Slane said as he and Lucky now stood by the couch right there with her, Chord, and Vince.

  “That’s not it. I mean I think I want to. I never felt like this before, but I’m so scared of getting hurt, of making the wrong decision, of just being vulnerable and weak. I don’t know what might come of this. My life is a mess right now and I feel so out of control.”

  “Look at me, Bella,” Vince said to her.

  * * * *

  Bella stared into his dark blue eyes. She could see the wrinkles by his eyes from squinting in the sun, that tan complexion and gorgeous, capable look Vince had. He was a superior man, was probably an incredibly courageous soldier too, and now an investigator. All of those things his brothers shared as well, and of course she was attracted to that.

  “Trust us. Believe in us and that we will never hurt you but instead will protect you. Put all the other lovers, men who failed you, or broke your heart, in the past, and focus on us, the here and now.”

  She didn’t even think twice. Bella followed her gut, her heart, and she reached out and cupped Vince’s cheek. “I do trust you. I do want all of you, and I’ve never felt so protected in my life. Please don’t hurt me. Please be real.” He gave a soft smile as Chord caressed her back. “We’re real, Bella, and tonight you become our woman, and we become your men.” Vince pressed his lips to hers and kissed her tenderly. When he pulled back and stood up, her heart began to race. She went to move, but Chord got up with her in his arms and carried her out of the living room and up a flight of stairs to the bedroom.

  She knew she was on birth control pills because of her periods being so bad. She had waited far too long for the right man, the right time, and the right amount of emotions. She wasn’t just saying yes because she was scared that her virginity, her body would be taken, ripped from her by a man like Costano and maybe even Feluppe too. No, she believed that these men would protect her and that they really cared about her. She was throwing inhibition to the wind, focusing on the here and now and what she wanted, needed. Chord placed her feet on the floor by the edge of the bed.

  “Do we need condoms?” he asked her as he began to unbutton her blouse slowly. She felt his fingers shaking, and she squinted and realized that maybe, just maybe he was nervous too.

  “I’m on the pill. Because of bad periods,” she added, hoping they didn’t think she was loose or had sex all the time. Jesus, she was freaking out. She should tell them she was a virgin. What if they didn’t want her? They were older and experienced, so maybe that would be a turn-off?

  “My God,” he said as her blouse parted and fell to the rug. Lucky moved in behind her and kissed her bare shoulder. “So beautiful, and your skin is flawless,” he said to her as he kissed her shoulder again and unzipped her skirt. Slane kissed her other shoulder and then began to push the strap of her bra down. It was overwhelming having them all touch her, kiss her skin, and all focus on her body.

  “You’re so voluptuous and sexy. You’re perfect for us and we will always protect you,” Vince said to her.

  One of them unclipped her bra, and it fell to the rug along with her skirt. They all paused to look at her. She worried her bottom lip, her nipples hardened, her pussy clenched.

  “Sweet Jesus, perfection. Pure perfection,” Lucky said and he lowered down behind her, squeezed her ass cheeks, and then licked along the crack. She gasped and bent forward only for Vince to capture her mouth with his and Chord to lower to his knees and slide a finger up into her cunt. He stroked her and she moaned into Vince’s mouth. She felt the other mouth on her breast, and knew it was Slane. He suckled and tugged as another finger slid into her asshole. She came. Just like that she shook and came.

  “She came. Holy fuck, that is so hot. She’s super wet and ready,” Lucky said as he continued to slide fingers in and out of her asshole. She felt the burning sensation and she was overwhelmed right now. She never even had sex before, and now with four men, four lovers who were definitely experienced and knew their way around a woman’s body, she was going to be filled in every hole. Vince pulled from her mouth, and she cried out, “Oh my, it burns. It feels so strange.”

  “You never had a cock in this ass, baby?” Lucky asked her and nipped her ass cheeks as he stroked her asshole.

  “No. Oh my God.” She rocked her hips against his fingers and Chord’s. She felt Chord’s mouth against her other breast as he stroked her cunt.

  “Holy shit, a virgin ass,” Lucky said and his brothers chuckled.

  “Our ass,” Slane said after he released her other nipple. She was panting and rocked her hips.

  “She’s ready,” Chord said and Lucky eased his fingers out of her asshole and Chord pulled his fingers from her cunt as Vince and Slane stepped back. Chord undressed quickly, then his brothers did, and a moment later he lifted her up with one arm and lowered her to the bed. Her back hit the thick, fluffy white comforter as he loomed over her, his thick thigh between her thighs and his cock, huge and long against her belly. “You’re gorgeous and you’re mine already,” he said so seriously. She saw the honesty in his dark green eyes.

  He eased his fingers into her cunt again and then lowered down to kiss her on the mouth. He trailed his lips along her collar bone and then to her left nipple and tugged. She moaned and he licked along her chest to her right nipple and did the same thing. Vince was there, naked, stroking his cock, and then he raised her arm above her head as Chord kissed lower and lower and then removed his fingers and replaced them with his mouth. The second his hot, warm tongue licked into her cunt, she came again.

  “Holy fuck, she is so responsive. I love it,” Lucky said.

  “She sure is, and I got the lube. We’ll take her together. Make it all official. I feel so fucking desperate to claim her and make her ours. I want her safe and secure always,” Slane said.

  “We all agree, and tonight she will become all of ours,” Vince told him.

  She was overwhelmed with sensations and so lost in her orgasms, in the feeling of all four men feasting on her, that when Chord lifted his mouth from her cunt and began to nudge his cock into her pussy, she realized this was it. She was about to lose her virginity to these four men, and they didn’t even know it.

  “Holy fuck,” Chord exclaimed as he nudged and nudged, trying to get into her pussy. She felt how thick and hard he was, and as if he could tear her pussy wider as he went deeper and deeper.

  “You’re so tight. Jesus, baby, I can’t get in. Let go, honey. Let me i
n,” he said and Vince raised her arm back up against the comforter and Lucky did the same on the other side. Slane stood right by Chord and watched her breasts move. When they restrained her she came again and Chord thrust all the way in, breaking the barrier, and she cried out and moaned. He paused, but her eyes were closed and she felt so good. She let go and let him take her virginity. She belonged to him and him to her. Tears filled her eyes, and she realized he wasn’t moving. He cupped her cheeks and she looked at him.

  “Bella?” he questioned her and the tear fell.

  “Was that what I think it was?” he asked.

  “What? What’s wrong?” Vince asked.

  “Yes,” she said to him. “Holy fuck, baby.” He cupped her cheeks and kissed her. She kissed him right back, and as he gripped her hip he slowly stroked into her pussy. As he eased his mouth from hers his brothers asked questions with concern.

  “What is wrong? What happened?” Lucky asked.

  “She’s okay, and she’s more special than any of us deserve, that’s for sure, but she’ll be ours and ours only,” he said and rocked into her.

  “Our woman is, well, was a virgin,” he told them and then continued to stroke into her as he leaned down and kissed her again, made love to her as his brothers freaked a little about her never having sex, and then Lucky said about her virgin ass, and they sounded shocked. She focused on the feel of Chord’s thick, hard cock thrusting into her a little faster. He eased up and gripped her shoulder as he held her gaze. “You okay?” he asked out of breath.

  “Yes, oh God yes, Chord, keep going. I’ve waited forever for this, for the right man. Well, the right men. Make me yours. All of you, take my virginity and make me yours,” she said and he held her shoulder and thrust faster, deeper into her cunt. She could feel her pussy tighten and then a deep need encased her insides right before another orgasm hit her. She cried out and he came too. He kissed her everywhere he could, along her mouth, her cheeks, her neck, and then her breasts. He suckled on her tits, tugged, and swirled his tongue over them, then to her belly as he eased his cock gently from her cunt. She felt the aches, and then Vince was there with a wash cloth to clean her up. They were sitting on the bed all looking at her differently. Lucky and Slane seemed uneasy. Vince looked carnal. As Chord got up, Vince took his place. She lay there on her back, his body wedged between her legs at the edge of the bed. He pressed a palm to her belly and eased it up her chest, over her breast on the left, and then to her neck as he lowered over her. Their gazes locked.
