Dear Reader,

I hope you enjoy this revised, expanded third edition of Trent & Trey. I’ve added two scenes that I’m confident only enhanced and added to the story. In addition, I do hope my love for tattoos comes through loud and clear. Someday I will bite the bullet and get one!

Prologue

Her nude body writhed in pleasure, pressed between two equally naked, muscular men. It mattered not that the men were faceless—after all, this was just a dream. She moaned and mewled her pleasure as the two hunky men prepared to take her to heights she’d never before experienced. On her knees, she straddled one of her drool-worthy lovers while the other positioned himself behind her. Both dreams-gods stroked massively large erections. Their impossibly hard and thick cocks each held a pearly bead of pre-cum at the slit. With a saucy grin on her face, she began to lower her body over the blond rake beneath her as the dark-haired Adonis at her back brought the tip of his turgid length to her rosette. Suddenly, the two drop-dead, sexy men morphed, becoming Vince Morella—two horrid visions of Vince to be exact, as if one wasn’t enough to shatter the sensual dream.

Cassie St. Cloud, formerly known as Castellana Barbaretta, the daughter of Miami crime boss Salvatore Barbaretta, gasped as she bolted upright in her bed. Her cream-colored sheets tangled around her perspiring body, and her short-sleeved, knit pajamas stuck to it in several places. Her heart hammered so hard she wouldn’t be surprised if it burst from her chest. Icy-cold fear gripped her until her equilibrium slowly returned. It took several deep breaths and one thorough look around at the pale blue walls, warm oak furniture, and the morning rays of sun filtering between the slats of her blinds before she realized she was safe.

Telling herself it had only been another nightmare, she forced the frightening visions from her mind. The revolting dream had plagued her for almost a full year now, and it all centered on her horrific twenty-third birthday. It always began the same way: two faceless, muscled gods showered her with carnal attention, preparing her body for the two of them to take her simultaneously. And just when they were about to do the dirty deed… Poof! Her lusty duo would transform into two duplicate figures of her father’s right-hand man, Vince Morella, the man he wanted her to marry.

After numerous months of therapy sessions, the nightmare had finally gotten less frequent. She’d begun to realize that she wasn’t to blame for what happened. But for some odd reason, as her twenty-fifth birthday drew closer, the dream seemed to be recurring a bit more frequently. As her senses continued to come back online, she knew she’d have to call the therapist about this issue.

No longer resembling her old self, both inside and out, she was a different person now. Vince Morella and Salvatore Barbaretta were behind bars, both serving a life sentence.

Her father, Salvatore Barbaretta, had been a notorious crime boss in Miami. Emmanuella Barbaretta, her beloved mother, had done her best to protect Castellana from his often cruel, domineering ways, even taking several beatings in the process. Sal expected his wife and daughter to do as told without any questions or hesitation. His explosive nature flared quite often, making Lana, as she’d been nicknamed, fear him, as well as grow to hate him. Struck by a drunk driver who had hopped the curb while shopping in downtown Miami when Lana was only ten, her mother’s tragic death meant that she quickly had to learn how to bypass and work her way around her father and his temper in order to take care of herself.

Six years later, Lana discovered just how deep her father’s reach extended when she overheard him on the phone discussing the death of someone he obviously considered a rival. His tone of voice had been so matter-of-fact when he asked the person on the other end of the line if the victim had suffered before dying. Because her mother took charge of her upbringing, Lana clearly knew right from wrong. Her father had his hands in so many morally wrong business deals it made her head hurt just thinking of
