Sophia: See you then, girly.
“That’s enough.” He yanks down my pants with one hand and steals my phone away with the other. As he runs his tongue down my slit, he throws the phone across the room. It clatters into the wall.
“If you broke that—” I say but my anger gets broken off by a low moan as he sucks on my clit.
“I’ll make it up to you baby,” he whispers, his mouth doing its beautiful, dirty work, sucking and licking, his fingers sliding inside of me, until I come on his mouth in a burst of pure bliss.
Yeah, I made the right choice.
Chapter 42
Gian
One Month Later
The truck rollsdown a quiet neighborhood block. We’re on the edges of West Philly in territory that used to belong to the Russians. “A week ago, they had gangsters on that corner,” I say, nodding toward a little bodega sitting on the intersection. “Now, nothing.”
“Gotta admit, bro, I really thought the Rinaldo guys were going to be fucking worthless.” Carlo grins at me and makes a gun shape with his fingers. “But those fuckers like to battle.”
He’s not kidding. Once the Rinaldo Famiglia made it official, their Capos started organizing themselves with our forces, and they weren’t shy about getting aggressive. For the first time in a while, we’re making progress against the fucking Aslanov Bratva bastards.
“We have a long way to go though,” I say as I park in front of a coffee shop. “Jasha Aslanov’s a vicious fuck.”
“You’re telling me.” Carlo’s eyes darken as he glares outside. “Do you know how much it hurts to get shot?”
“You’re still whining about that?”
He grins and punches my arm. “Just saying, I’ve got skin in the game. How about you?”
“I’ve got skin too.” I look at my hands, thinking of Allegra. “More skin than I know what to do with.”
“Lovesick fucking…” He curses at me in Italian. It’s lighthearted though and I don’t mind. Carlo doesn’t get it, and I’m not sure he ever will.
But Renzo knows. We’ve talked a couple times over the last few weeks about what it’s like to care about someone more than yourself. It’s lifechanging. World-altering.
My axis tilted. My center shifted toward her. Now, Allegra’s my everything.
I like it. I don’t want to lose this feeling. Not for anything.
“You want something?” I ask, pushing open the door. “Gonna get coffee.”
“Yeah, just a regular large. Cream, no sugar.”
“You got it.”
I head toward the shop, but I stop before I reach the door. My phone’s ringing. I lift it to my ear.
“Yeah, this is Gian.”
“Baby. It’s me.” Allegra’s voice is shaky and all my hackles rise. My heart starts racing and I freeze about a foot from the coffee shop entrance.
“What’s wrong?”
“You need to come home.”
“Allegra. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I’m okay. I mean, I’m fine, I just need you to come home. Can you come home?”
