United and Dangerous by Cherie Benjamin (the speed reading book .TXT) 📕

"Not yet.  Don't fucking cum until I tell you to." 

Ara was so fucking near to cumming that she didn't know if she could hold off.  His cock was filling her so snuggly that, with each and every thrust, he hit the right spot.  She began to remember the capitals of each state, trying to take her mind off of the tight coil in her stomach that was ready to snap. 

"Fuck, baby, it's always so fucking good."

"Please, please, please let me cum!"  Ara begged.

 Kane was close, too, and, shifting his hips slightly into this new position, he felt even more connected to her. As his own orgasm started, he yelled "Cum for me…NOW!" Then he began shooting long ribbons of cum deep inside; suddenly, he felt her walls clamp down hard over and over again as she rode out her own orgasm. 

Holding onto each other for what seemed like forever and after finally catching their breaths, Kane eased out of her wet, but very sated, pussy.  "Fuck; that was unreal."

"I know.  Shit, I’m a mess."  Ara said as she climbed off Kane’s lap, their combined cum starting to leak down her leg.  "I am glad I have fresh panties in the bathroom."

"Well, you could go without them." 

"Nothing else is going to happen; we have a busy day ahead of us.  I am going to go clean up and I suggest you do the same."  She said, pointing to his sated and flaccid cock.

They went off to clean up before Maggie was supposed to arrive.  Washing up and putting on new panties, Ara sprayed a little of her perfume, fixed her hair and lipstick, and then she was ready to go.

Maggie arrived as scheduled and they got down to business.  She had found a piece of property next to the docks that the Morottis had owned.  Since Tony was the President of the Longshoreman Association, this made it a perfect location.  The building was a large concrete and steel building.  The large open spaces could be easily transformed into offices, training rooms, gun ranges, storage, sleeping quarters, and garage for all the vehicles. 

Kane and Ara were impressed that they had a building for the Coven’s headquarters, and that it could be up and running in no time.  They were also impressed with Maggie.  Unlike David, she had already fixed the plans for Solar Eclipse and gained the permits that were outstanding.  With everything approved and scheduled, construction had started up again.  They were still behind schedule, but Maggie was sure she could get them back to where they needed to be in no time. 

"Maggie, I can't believe how much you have gotten done in so little time."  Kane said.

"Thank you."

"Have you talked to your brother?"

"Yes, at least I have for a few minutes.  He was happy that I am happy.  He says that I should watch my language around you."

Kane laughed loudly.  That fucker.  "Well, you tell your asshole brother of yours that my child's first word won't be fuck."

Maggie knew that there was something behind that statement and she hoped that one day she could find out what.  Sean had always spoken so highly of Kane and the Leone family.  When she needed help all those years ago, Kane came in provided the protection she needed, and now that she was working with Kane and Ara, she could understand just why her brother felt that way. 

"Maggie, I think that just about covers everything we had on the agenda for today.  Would you like to go to lunch with us?"  Ara asked.

"Are you sure?  I don’t want to impose."

"Yes, we’d love for you to come.  We’re meeting my brother and his mom for lunch and since you are going to be working closely with him, it would be a great opportunity to get to know him better.  Simon will primarily be our accountant for this, and several other projects.   He is a computer whiz and is in the process of writing a special program for this project."

Hm, Si was a computer programmer. Maggie wondered if Si and Simon knew each other.  Maybe she would get the opportunity to ask over lunch.

"I would love to join you.  What time were you planning to leave?"

"About 12:15, we will pick you up on our way out."  Ara said.

"Great.  I will just get back to work then."  Maggie said, and then went off to her office.  She loved her office and there was nothing she wanted to change.  She was even lucky enough to have a bathroom attached.  She put her work on her lovely antique white desk.  In front of the desk were white armchairs with pink accent pillows.  She walked into her bathroom and made sure her hair and makeup were just right.  She had wished she had worn something more upscale, but the little black dress that she had selected was a perfect fit, and she had been able to wear the pearl necklace and earrings that her brother had given her for a graduation present.  She brushed her teeth and applied a squirt of perfume and, with one last look, she was as ready as she could be.

Soon, it was time to go, so Kane and Ara came to Maggie's office to pick her up.  She saw there was a new guard that was now guarding Ara.  He was a very large man, with huge dimples, and, as she glanced down, she saw a shining wedding band on his large finger. 

"Oh, Maggie, I am sorry; let me introduce you, this is Erik, my bodyguard.  Erik this is Maggie O'Leary, our new architect."

"Sean's little sister?"  Erik questioned.

"Yes, I am."

"Well, glad to have someone who knows about the family.  It makes everything so much easier."

"I am happy to be here."  Maggie said.

They left the building and soon were on their way to the Purple Cafe.  It was a wonderful restaurant downtown and Ara had only heard good things about it.  Portia had called earlier and said she was under the weather, but Simon was going to come to lunch anyway.  Ara wished her well and told her to call if she needed anything. 

Pulling up to the restaurant, Erik got out of the vehicle along with Ben and ensured that the area was secure.  Once they felt it was safe, they opened the door and Kane got out and helped Ara and Maggie.  They quickly went into the restaurant where Simon was waiting for them.

"Sister, so good to see you."  Simon cried as he wrapped his arms around her and gave her a large hug. 

Ara was so happy to have a brother, even a half-brother, she could love.  In such a small amount of time, she had grown to love Simon.  His sweet nature drew you in. "Oh fratello, it is great to be seen."  Ara said as she turned and took Maggie's hand.  "Simon this is our new architect, Maggie O'Leary; Maggie, this is my brother, Simon Morotti."

Maggie looked up at Simon and smiled sweetly.  Damn, he was a fine looking man and he clearly loved his sister, which meant more than anything to her.  The love of your brother was a beautiful thing; this just enhanced Maggie’s attraction to Simon.

"Hello, Simon, it’s nice to meet you."  Maggie cooed.

Simon looked at the extremely beautiful woman.  She had long red hair, sparkling green eyes, and the face of an angel.  He had never met anyone as lovely as her.  And, in this moment, he wished that he could be as confident as Kane, but he was not so adept at pulling the confidence he had deep inside.  Simon reached for her hand, raised it to his lips and kissed it lightly on the knuckles.  "It is a pleasure to meet you."

When Simon had taken Maggie’s hand, she had felt a connection that she hoped he had felt, too. 

Ara watched the interaction between Simon and Maggie and smiled, because she could see them together as a couple.  They were both gentle souls.

Kane leaned down and whispered into Ara’s ear.  "Now, that is very interesting.  I bet even Sean would say ‘fuck’ over it."

Ara giggled lightly, yes, he probably would.  

The maitre’d escorted the two couples and Erik to a table in the back of the room.  The waitress quickly came and took their orders; soon, they were talking about the project. Simon was very vocal about how the program he was designing was coming along. 

Maggie’s curiosity grew with each word that Simon said. She was almost sure that Simon was her online friend, Al.  She didn't want to say anything in front of Kane or Ara so she decided to wait and hope to have the opportunity to ask later.  Of course, she noticed that Simon was unique, but his mannerisms weren't repelling in any way; no, they were making him even more attractive to her. 

Ara watched the interaction between Maggie and Simon; she knew there was something going on.  Wanting to give them a moment alone, she asked Kane to escort her to the upstairs bar area to make a phone call.  Kane wondered what type of call was so important to interrupt lunch, but, if she felt it was important, then so be it.

Maggie watched as Ara, Kane, and Erik left the table to make a call.  Once she was sure that they were out of hearing range, Maggie looked up at Simon and took a deep cleansing breath.  "Simon, I am going to ask a question and please don't hold it against me if I am mistaken."

"Sure, ask me anything."  Simon said as he tried to remain calm.

"I have an online friend, who reminds me a lot of you. Are you Al?"

Simon was shocked, this beauty before him was his Mags.  He couldn't believe she was here in front of him.  "Yes, I am, Mags."

"Oh, Al, this is so wonderful."  Maggie cried.

Simon once again took her hand and kissed it. "Yes, it truly is."

A meeting between Kane and Ara with Nazario and Zachary, to discuss who would be on the Coven Commission, was soon scheduled.  The Commission would consist of senior members of the former Leone and Morotti families.  They would be responsible for screening job requests and determining which jobs Coven Inc. would be using to accept contracts.  The Commission wanted to ensure that their reputation was not that of a group of mercenaries who killed greedily and recklessly, but a professional group of expert assassins, which eliminated threats to theirs and other families.  Amongst the crime families, people knew that there were always undesirable elements trying to infiltrate their ranks.  People were always trying to make a play against them in attempts to overtake the family.  These people had no honor of family.  They would not hesitate to perform jobs that a mafia family would never consider.  It was not unheard of for some of these elements to kidnap, rape, beat, and disfigure, innocent members of the family just for information.  Over the years, almost all the families had to deal with these types of individuals at some point or another.  They were sloppy, dishonorable and vile, often leaving behind evidence of their despicable actions pointing a finger of guilt directly to the family whom had hired them. Many family
