The door to Luca Vitiello’s penthouse swings open, and in strides the devil himself—six-foot-five of sheer dominance wrapped in a tailored suit. Striking gray eyes scan the room with the calculating precision of a predator, the sharp angles of his face carved from stone and sharpened by a life of power and blood. The black ink over his heart—

"Born in Blood. Sworn in Blood. I enter alive and I leave dead."

*—is more than a promise. It’s a threat. A vow no one dares test.

Luca’s the man every woman in New York wants but can’t handle. He’s wealth, danger, and seduction rolled into one, and the society girls throwing themselves at him? They don’t understand that the bad boy aura isn’t an act—it’s a warning.

But even he—the capo of the Vitiello empire—gets caught off guard when he steps into his own home.

Because there, striding through the penthouse like she owns the goddamn place (which, in fact, she does), is Mrs. Vitiello.

YN.

Hair clipped up in a claw, damp with onion and ginger water. Mineral mask cracked over her cheeks. Black sports bra. Black compression shorts hugging curves he’d murder for. Stanley mug in hand, sipping like she’s running the world one sip at a time.

The silence in the room is so thick, you could cut it with a knife.

Luca’s crew—Matteo, Romero, Gio—freeze in place, eyes wide, trying not to stare too long, but it’s impossible.

Matteo mutters under his breath, blinking like he’s seen a ghost. Romero shifts awkwardly, suddenly very interested in the floor. Gio lets out a low whistle, immediately swallowing it when Luca’s death glare slices across the room.

Luca’s jaw ticks, gray eyes darkening like a storm cloud about to break. He’s never seen his woman like this.

Raw. Confident. Unbothered by the power she holds over him—over everyone.

And damn if that doesn’t make him want to drag her back into the bedroom and remind her exactly who she belongs to.

"Tesoro..." his voice is low, a dangerous mix of amusement and something far darker, "You're making it very hard for me to focus on business right now."
