“Here is your drink, sir.  Is there anything I can do for you?”  Marci asked as she placed the drink on the table in front of Sebastian. 

“Hmm, after my meeting, I might need something to help me relax.  Do you think you could help me with that?”  He leered.

“I am available to take care of all your needs, sir.”  Marci moaned.  “If there is anything else you may require this evening, please see me.”

“Wonderful. I am sure I will be needing you later.”  Sebastian reached forward, taking a rather large sip of his drink.  Hmm…that was good.  He licked his lips at Marci, making sure that she knew he would be seeing her later.  Taking in the show, he was impressed by not only the sheer beauty of the women, but also their obvious talents as dancers.  Roberto knew how to run a first rate club. 

“Sebastian, so good to see you.”  Roberto said as he walked in.

Sebastian stood up and greeted Roberto with a firm handshake.  “Yes it is.  It has been too long old friend.  Thank you for meeting me.”

“Glad that I was in town.  Sit, let’s talk business so we can then have some fun.”  Roberto smirked.  “Tell me, how can I help you?”

“I want you to kill Kane Leone.”  Sebastian stated matter of fact.

“Ah, that’s all.  Why would I want to do that?”  He asked, his curiosity had been piqued.

“The family is mine; it should be under my rule.  If you take out Kane, then I will take out my father.  That will put me back in charge of the Morotti family and we can resume our previously profitable business together.”

Roberto sat taking a long sip of his drink and thought about the proposal that Sebastian had made.  Over the years, the Morotti had been one of his biggest clients and it had been a huge financial hit when there had been a change in leadership and they no longer did business with him.  He began to calculate how hard it would be to kill Kane Leone.  Fuck, the Leone family was one of most powerful mafia families in the world.  The task would not be an easy one, but not entirely impossible.  Then he realized Kane was not the only leader of the family, he shared the leadership of the family with his wife, Donna Arabella, whom he had heard was Zachary Morotti’s granddaughter, which would make her… 

“Wait a fucking minute, isn’t the Donna of the family your daughter?”  Roberto exclaimed.

“Yes she is, she will be a bonus to the deal.”  Sebastian smirked as he took out his phone and pulled up Arabella’s picture.  “Take a look.  Your bonus, if you agree to kill Kane, is that get to keep her.”

Roberto took the photo from Sebastian’s hand, and sucked in a deep breath.  She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and he would have the opportunity to have her as his own.  Images of her naked in his bed filled every crevice of his brain.  Licking his lips, he could almost taste her sweet nectar and feel her soft skin.  Damn, he was hard.  Regrettably handing the phone back to Sebastian, he knew he had to have her.  “I’ll do it.”

“Great.  When do you think you execute the hit, this week?  I’ve got to get back to Seattle and start organizing.”  Sebastian’s face was bursting with glee.

“Woah, amigo, wait a minute, it is going to take a bit of time to organize a hit as large as this.  You know as well as I do that the Don and Donna are constantly with security.  There are details that need to be worked out.”  Roberto was already plotting the outline of just how this job would get done.

“But I want it, and I want it now, Amigo.”  Sebastian whined.

Roberto grabbed Sebastian around the neck and began to squeeze.  “Let me make myself perfectly clear, I say when and how, so don’t dictate to me.  Do I make myself clear, fucker?  Comprende?”

Sebastian tried to get some air into his lungs, but Roberto’s grip was too tight.  So he did the only thing he could and nodded his head.  Roberto let go, tossing Sebastian back into his seat.  Sebastian gasped for air, choking and coughing with each gasp.  Finally, when he was able to get enough air in his lungs, he looked at Roberto.  He knew that he had overstepped his bounds and needed to make amends for his stupid remark.  “Whenever you feel best to do it, is fine by me.  My apologies, por favor.”

“Your apology is accepted Sebastian, but I suggest you remember your place, and don’t let it happen again.”  Roberto barked, then took a big swig of his drink as he tried to ease his temper.  Finally, he calmed down enough to continue.  “I will let you know the approximate time the job will be done.  Make your plans to kill your father and grab my prize.  Now, enough talk, let’s have some fun.  Marci, get some more girls in here.”

Marci quickly left the room and a short time later came back with five other girls.  All were beautiful with great bodies and very little clothes.  Bringing over bottles of whiskey, the girls began to kiss and caress Sebastian and Roberto.

Sebastian was so excited to see such goddesses paying him the attention he deserved, but something was off.  Normally by this time he would be so hard that he would need some relief, but his erection was nonexistent.  He was still limp.  Unzipping his pants he grabbed one of the girls and pushed her down to his limp dick.  “Suck it until it gets hard, bitch.”  Sebastian screeched. He was beginning to panic.

The girl began to suck his dick and fondle his balls, wanting to make sure she showed him a good time.  Her previous encounter had left the customer less than satisfied, and she was not willing to endure the pain that happened afterwards.  For several minutes, she sucked on his dick, but it was not getting hard, not even a little bit.

Sebastian sat back and tried not to think of anything other than the girl’s mouth on him, but as the minutes passed by, he still was not hard.  He could hear Roberto moaning and enjoying himself as two girls were sucking his dick and balls and the other girl was straddling his face, allowing him to eat her pussy.  Usually that would turn him on, but nothing was helping.  WHAT THE FUCK WAS GOING ON?!  OH NO SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY DICK.  Sebastian thought to himself.  Pushing the girl off his dick, he stood and zipped his pants.  “Roberto, I’ve got to go, something has come up.”

“Are you sure?”  He responded, the girl’s juices dripping from the smile on his face.

“Yeah.  Call me whenever you are ready to do the deed and thanks for the evening.”  Sebastian quipped, then quickly rushed to the door.  After leaving the club, he pulled out his phone and dialed the hotel.

“Good evening, thanks for calling The NoMad, how may I assist you?” 

“This is Arturo Cygnet in room 5137, I am inquiring if you have a physician on staff or can you refer me to one. It is a dire emergency.”  He groaned.  He knew he couldn’t go to a normal hospital using his alias, so he hoped that they had someone on staff.

The girl at The NoMad had been made aware that if anyone called about a physician, she was to follow a certain protocol that had been sent down from the owner of the hotel.  “We do have someone on call, sir.”

“Wonderful.  Tell them to come to my room in about an hour.  I am on my way there now.  Please tell them it is extremely important.” 

“Certainly, Mr. Cygnet.” 

After Sebastian hung up, the girl dialed the number the staff was directed to call when and if someone asked for a physician.  It rang twice and a man answered the phone.  “Hello, I was told to call this number.  I work at the NoMad.”

“Someone has asked for a physician?”

“Yes, sir.  Mr. Cygnet in room 5137 says it is a dire emergency and would like someone here in about an hour.”

“I will take care of it; what is your name?”  The man asked.

“Connie Estep, sir.”

“Connie, you did well and you will be compensated for you extra effort.”

“Thank you, sir.”  Connie said and disconnected the call.  She didn’t know what was going on, but she knew she would keep her mouth shut and eyes closed.

Kane and Ara were sitting on the loveseat in the family room enjoying the evening with their families.  The women had arrived not long ago after spending the day with Maggie, searching for the perfect bridal gown for an Irish Princess.  Maggie was going on and on about what would be required for a wedding that would involve the marriage of two of the most important and feared crime families in the country.

She continued telling them about the numerous gowns she had tried on and how excited she was that she had found her “perfect” dress and that it fit as though had been made for her.  She gushed about the fact that Rosa had called Kleinfeld Bridal and mentioned that Sean O’Leary’s sister was looking for her bridal gown.  They were immediately booked for an appointment.  They provided her with several choices in styles, but Maggie insisted that the gown had one specific requirement, Irish Lace. 

Dress after dress was brought into the private room, where she was served champagne and had not one, but two of the highest in demand Kleinfeld’s Sales Assistants at her disposal.  Finally, she stepped into a gown that she immediately knew was the dress when she saw her reflection in the mirror.  It was a custom made ball gown with an Irish lace bodice, a sweetheart neckline and off the shoulder cap long lace sleeves.  The body of the dress was layer upon layers of chiffon with the same Irish lace sewn onto the bottom. 

The dress had been a special order for another bride, but, to the dismay of her parents, the bride had run off with her driver and got married to him instead.  The parents had already paid in full for the dress because it was custom made, but didn’t have any need for it.  They had asked Kleinfeld if they could sell the dress and recoup some of the money that they had put for it. 

The gown fit Maggie as if it had been made for her, even the length of the gown was perfect. When she came out of the dressing room and stepped up onto the dais to show everyone, there was not a dry eye in the room.  After the momentary shock of seeing her in the dress, the ladies rose to go to Maggie.  Everyone expressed their joy in seeing her in the beautiful gown.  After changing back into her regular clothes, she made arrangements to schedule her fittings, then went to the counter to pay.  Chuckling to herself when she heard bill total, she couldn’t help but admit to everyone there, 

“Well, Sean said to buy whatever I wanted, but I wonder if he meant for me to spend $127,000?”

Simon had not been with the party, because he had not wanted to see the dress.  He wanted to wait until she walked down the aisle to him on their wedding day. 

Elizabeth walked into the room.  “Kane, Ara, there has been a huge development.  I need to see you right away.”

Kane and Ara excused themselves and followed Elizabeth back to the command center.

“What is going on?”  Kane inquired.

“Well it seems that the dose of drugs we put in Sebastian’s vitamins was more than precise.  He is calling the hotel in a panic requesting a doctor.  We have already changed out his shampoo with the hair removal and put the hydrochloric acid in his body wash.  We are ready
