Because of him, she had everything she’d ever wanted—all she needed—right here in her arms.
They said their final good-byes to Scythe, then drove his black Range Rover back to the vineyard in Potenza.
Hours later, with Chiara and Pietro settled again in their home, Ettore took Bella’s hand and walked her out under the starlight.
She saw his gaze drift to the sleek blue Pagani that had brought them to this place two nights ago. It seemed like forever since he’d stormed into her life again and whisked her away from the villain who had held her.
Now, she and Ettore had forever waiting for them in their new life together.
She couldn’t wait for it to begin.
He gestured to the sports car. “You don’t suppose Chiara has any use for that, do you?”
“Hmm. Probably not,” Bella replied with mock contemplation. “The Rover would be more practical. Not to mention it might give Scythe a reason to come around and check on them from time to time.”
Ettore grunted. “I’ve got a feeling that might happen either way.”
She smiled. “You may be right about that. Still, a sports car won’t get much use out here at the vineyard. And Pietro is still years away from truly appreciating that kind of machinery.”
“Shame to let a perfectly good Pagani sit unappreciated.”
She smiled up at him. “And it’ll certainly get us back to Rome a lot faster.”
Ettore smirked. “Faster to Rome means faster into my arms again. And into my bed.”
“I like the sound of that,” she said, arching her brows.
“Then let’s go.”
He playfully smacked her backside, and they both raced down to the waiting car. They climbed in beneath the lifted gullwing doors, and in seconds the Pagani rumbled to life.
Ettore took her hand, bringing it up to his lips. “Ready for the ride of your life?”
“Oh, yes.” Bella smiled. “I’m ready for anything with you.”
