Nicolai Valentino is the almost perfect heir to the Valentino Family-impeccably dressed, devilishly handsome, impossibly cold, and absolutely dedicated to a family that scorns his very existence. Born to the infamous Boss and a Japanese woman of no consequence, Nico must fight for respect in a blood-thirsty world that would be much happier to see him with a hole in his head. Blood runs thick in the Valentino Family. To them, Nico's little better than water. Gabriel Delatto is Nico's right-hand man, his childhood friend, and under the darkness of their ruby red sheets, his lover. But more than that, Gabriel holds the secret to unlocking who Nico really is-the true Nico, not the mask beginning to crack around the edges. But there is a pleasure in that pain, he knows. There is only ever pleasure when it comes to Nico, even if it comes from the crack of a whip or on the edge of a blade. But there's someone lurking in the darkness, something that neither Nico nor Gabriel truly understand. But there is one thing they do know- It isn't afraid to bite. Author Note: Please be advised that there are sexual scenes of explicit graphic nature, including spanking, within the following story.
