Quiet Storm by SexyLexiCullen

"Two weeks. Two years. Who cares?" A lesson in love, crime and passion. When two young lovers find themselves in the middle of the storm, can love conquer all? AH. OOC. Rated M - Mafia fic
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6575026/1/Quiet_Storm



This story came to my attention a while back, but I didn't have much time to read then. I did get through the first chapter, thought it was hilarious and sexy, but then I got busy and forgot to go back to read the rest. I really wish I had!!! I could just slap myself for that!

When I finally went back and read, about halfway though, I became obsessed with it. I love a good fic, but I have a special place in my heart for Mafia fics. Especially if it's done right, the kind that could easily be turned into a Martin Scorsese film because it's just that raw and real.

The kind of mob story were shit gets heavy, mistakes are made, people get killed...and the sex...oh the sex, it's primal, it's delish...it fucking takes you home!

It starts with Bella meeting Edward at a party, simple enough, right? Well, she was suppose to hook up with Carlisle, at least that is what her cousin Alice was hoping, so that she could became his goomah on the side...pay her bills, hook her up with a car, maybe buy her a fur coat or some shit...

But Bella, being the girl we love, she goes for the single, hot, smooth and charming brother that she won't get shit out of...except a damn good night of fuckin'!

"Wow," I sighed, lamely, while I rubbed my pussy against his steel cock.

He gave my ass a light spank and leaned his head away from me. "Back up a minute." He looked as though he was in pain.

I frowned, doing as he asked. He reached into his pants and my eyes went wide. He was about to show me his cock.

"Let me see it baby." I moaned, like the wanton slut I am.

He smiled and pulled out a gun. "See?"

I screamed, falling from his lap, and landing in the garbage that fills my living room.

"Shit. Are you okay?" He looked down to me.

I nodded, trying to catch my breath. "Wha—what—Uh," I stammered.

"I thought you wanted to see it…"

"Your uh—cock!" I covered my mouth.

"I'm a what?" He chuckled.

"No," I whined. "I thought—I wanted to see—forget it."

He patted the spot next to him. "Come here."


As the fic continues, Bella gets thrown into Edward's Mafia life. She has question, concerns & she's curious, which is a good and bad thing. So much shit happens in just the first few chapters alone, it's insane!

Or, and the other characters, like Carlisle, are just as insane as well. He really does fuck up a lot, making Edward into his brother's keeper. Then there's Aro, one of E's men, who I just want to lick. Yeah, like, a lot...

I love how the relationships in this fic are written. I also adore how realistic it seems. These scenes don't feel like a big deal, because to the characters, it's just the way life is. Just another day, like this chapter with Edward & Aro...

"Stop the car." I said.

He pulled over to fire hydrant. "What's up?"

"Find a spot. We're going on foot." I said.

"Skip?" He looked to me. "Um..."

"Do it." I said. "Right there—doesn't matter." I hopped out of the jeep. "I saw a spot a few paces up." I pointed, grabbed a cigarette and lighter out of the console, and closed the door after me.

I waited, smoking the cigarette while he parked the car, and then joined me on the sidewalk.

"We going into the park?" He asked, lighting his own bone.

I shook my head no, continuing to walk.

"My number up?" He asked.

I laughed. "You know who lives across the street?" I stopped walking.

He stopped too, recognition dawning on his face. "Now?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah."

"Me?"

I shook my head. "Me—but you don't mind cleaning up a bit, do you?" I pat his shoulder, throwing the cigarette butt to the ground.

"You don't have to—I can do it." He whispered. "I owe you—"

"I need to." I whispered back. "-and after tonight we won't speak of it again."

"There's still so much I have to tell you." He said. "You need to understand—"

"Not tonight—tonight has been fucked. It's late too. I wanna do this and go home." I looked to him. "When it comes down to it, I don't give a fuck what your reasons were—" I bopped him in the jaw, needing to get rid of some aggression. He had one coming too. Then I put on a pair of those gloves I had.

He cupped his jaw, nodding. "I was wondering when it was coming." He opened and closed his mouth, flexing his jaw.

I shrugged all that shit away. Then we quietly walked across the street.

Having known the house for years, I picked up the phony looking rock to grab the key out from under it. My actions made Aro silently snicker. "We're in Brooklyn."

"-and stupidity runs in their family." I whispered back, also handing him another pair of latex gloves.


This one is a big obsession for me right now, so I wanted to make sure I didn't drop the fucking ball and make something half-ass'd. There was another banner for this story, a Goodfellas poster, with Marcus (Robert De Niro), Ed Sr. (Ray Liotta) & Edward. Being a huge fan of that flick, I thought it rocked hard.

So I based these blinkers off that (blinkers=banner/blinkies, tonguetwied came up with that!). An updated version for the recent chapters, if you will. A big grope to the author, @SexylexiCullen, for all the great footage & for agreeing with me about that scene in Goodfellas being romantic! Then I also threw down a E&B blinker as well, cause at the end of the day, this is a love story as well. A brilliant, sexy, fucked up, love conquers all kinda fic.

Enjoy!

  4. Fabulous. A new name is needed for these banner/blinkies, because neither is appropriate.

    The chin shots of our guys - oh, yes! The added animation and portraits meld beautifully. You add sparkle and joy to my world.
