“Nah, I see no reason for that. Don’t take this the wrong way, Leo, but you got one of those faces that don’t stand out.” Enzo comes to me, handing me the things I’m to make my wife wear.
“Enzo, I don’t want to put her in danger.”
Looking into my eyes, I see nothing but darkness in his stoic stare. “It’s gotta be this way.”
I know better than to try to get him to change his mind. What I have to do is turn Lisa into a super spy in the space of one night.
Leo draws our attention when he asks, “Is this worth the risk? I mean, if we’re found out, there will be hell to pay. Lives will be lost.”
“And that’s why you can never tell a soul what you’ve done. I know I won’t say a word,” Enzo says. “If I hear something, then I’ll know it was one of three people who have spoken out of turn. And I will end all three people. You get it?”
My brother has never threatened my life, so this is more than a little upsetting. Leo thinks so, too, as he asks, “You would kill your own brother?”
“I do what I got to do. Now, you guys know what you gotta do.” He turns his back to us, meaning he wants us to leave.
As we walk out of Enzo’s hotel room, Leo pulls me to one side of the door and closes it behind us. “You sure your wife won’t talk?”
“I don’t want her in this at all. To be honest, I haven’t known her long enough to know if she’ll talk or not. All I can do is promise her that we’ll all die if she does and hope she takes that to heart.”
His deep sigh says it all. Our lives are in Lisa’s hands, and that’s not easy to take. “Of course, we could just kill her right after she does her part. That’s the surest way to make sure she never says a word .”
He’s not wrong to bring this up, and I know that. But it sure as hell is making me mad. “I’ll make sure she understands. She’s taken to her role as a Mafia wife. I think she’ll do what I tell her to. And if she doesn’t, I will kill her myself.”
“If she talks, it will be too late for you and me,” he states as he nervously rocks back and forth.
“I know.” I don’t know what the hell to do. But I know I’m not letting anyone kill her. “Trust me.”
His brow arches. “You’re asking a lot.”
“I know. I’ll make it up to you somehow. Trust me, Leo.” I hope I’m right about Lisa. But if I’m wrong, I’ll have to take her life. Better me than my brother, that’s for sure.
Thinking things through, he says, “If she argues about what she has to do, there’s a chance she’ll talk,” He looks at me, his jaw jutting out. “Promise me you’ll take her out if she argues about it.”
“I don’t expect her to argue. She knows she has to do as I say, or we’ll kidnap her grandmother and kill her if we have to. I’ll remind her of that when I tell her what she has to do.” I don’t know what else I can do to make sure she stays quiet.
“Let’s hope she really loves her grandma.” Shaking his head, he begins walking back to his room. “This isn’t what I thought I’d be doing.”
“Me neither.” Leave it to my brother to pull something this insane out of his ass at the last minute.
Stopping at my hotel room door, I take a few deep breaths before opening it. I don’t know how Lisa will take this news, but I can’t imagine she’ll be completely up for doing it.
She’s never killed anyone before, and what she’ll do will kill lots of people. I can’t expect that she’ll be happy about it. I can’t expect her not to refuse to do it.
I don’t know what the fuck to expect. Opening the door, I find her sitting up in bed, the sheet covering her naked breasts and a sexy grin on her face. “You’re back.” She lets the sheet fall and wiggles her finger at me. “Come here and let me do things to you that will take your mind far away from everything but me.”
God, she’s beautiful. Don’t make me lose her over this.
Chapter 15
Lisa
Closing the door behind him, Frank strips away his expensive suit, unstraps the various guns he had to wear all day, and then makes his way to me.
I get off the bed, stand next to it, and hold my arms out. He picks me up, my feet leave the floor, and then his mouth crashes against mine in a savage kiss that takes my breath away.
It’s not what I expected. I had intentions of taking care of him and letting him do nothing but lie back and relax. But this is good too.
His mouth leaves mine, and he tosses me onto the bed. “On your hands and knees.” His dark eyes seem to go even darker as he looks at me with pure lust.
