Anastasia Mancini; everyone in the underworld knows her name, the Fiore Mortale. After her Grandfather murdered her parents, she was raised as his personal assassin, learning to kill without so much as a second thought. People fear her, men fall on...
Alessio flashes one last smile at Izaria who doesn't dare return it before we walk off.
"I don't like him," Alessio spits out, "Anyone can see he obviously treats her like shit, did you see the way her body froze when he touched her?" his eyes burn with anger.
"Well then wait until she leaves and take her yourself," I sigh, leaning against a wall as I watch the people dancing before us.
"Catch yourself on," Alessio scoffs, lowering his gaze as I look at him in surprise. I raise an eyebrow at him, "Not a kid kinda guy," he mumbles, and I almost laugh at him.
My brother is the biggest softie I've ever met, he fucking loves kids, and they all seem to love him too. Something which I can't say for myself.
Suddenly Alessio elbows me harshly, motioning with his head towards the doors. I feel my breath get caught in my lungs when I see who it is, my eyes travelling down her body as she walks in.
Anastasia Mancini.
Fuck.
Never before have I been so captivated by a woman, been so transfixed by her every movement.
Her dress cuts low, to just above her navel, her tattoos in the valley of her breasts sinking in against the black material of the dress. Her slender legs moving gracefully amongst the flowing fabric, her heels clicking along the tiles.
Anastasia's dress:

Alessio lets put a low whistle, "She's here for business," he hums, "Go get her," he winks at me and pats my shoulder.
Her eyes travel around the room until they settle on mine, a smirk on her lips as she keeps her eyes locked on mine and stalks over to me.
I smirk as she approaches, offering her my hand, "Care to dance piccolo fiore?" I ask smoothly, my smirk growing as she scowls at me. [little flower]
"Don't call me that," she says coldly, taking my hand.
She speaks Italian.
I hum and place a hand on her waist as we walk to where couples are dancing, our eyes not leaving each other as we begin.
I adjust my grip on her waist as her hand holds mine, her other burning a hole on my shoulder, her touch sending flames of electricity though me.
"I haven't seen you in a while, did the great Anastasia Mancini go into hiding?" I taunt, smirking as her grip on my hand tightens.
"I'm flattered you noticed," she says sweetly, batting her eyelashes at me.
I spin her around to avoid her little comment and my smirk only grows as I notice a light blush on her cheeks.
Our eyes lock together again and she sucks in a sharp breath as I let my hand hang loose on the curve of her waist, almost touching her ass as her eyes dart down to my lips then back up to my eyes.
You can't fuck her.
Her hand slides along my shoulder and to my neck, her soft touch forming goosebumps on my skin as a smirk forms on her plump lips.
Another couple bumps into us and I pull Anastasia closer to me, our bodies pressing together as I cut off all air between us.
Her heels give her extra heigh as I feel her lips skim my ear, "You're not thinking of fucking me, are you Vincenzo?" she whispers, her tone seductive as she kisses just below my ear, pushing her stomach against my erection.
"Are you asking me to?" I ask coldly, my hand falling to her ass, causing her to gasp lightly.
"No strings attached," she whispers, her hand on my neck as I smirk, "No strings," I repeat, dropping her hand as we walk off the dance floor.
This is the dumbest fucking thing you've ever done.
I ignore the stares we get as we walk to the staircase leading upstairs, my hand not leaving her waist as we walk up.
We turn down a hallway and I open the door to the first room, almost laughing at how it so happens to be a bedroom.
I lock the door and turn to see Anastasia sitting on the bed, her legs crossed as she looks at me with a smirk.
"Come fuck me De Santis," she whispers.
