I stare at her for a second. “What type of protecting yourself did you have in mind?”
She shrugs. “What if I learned how to shoot a gun? And maybe some self-defense moves? If someone tries to grab me or something? I’ve always wanted to learn anyway…for when customers at the club got out of hand.”
“All women should know some self-defense maneuvers,” I admit.
“Exactly. After what happened with Enzo and Lovato…” she pauses for a difficult swallow. “I’d feel better if I’m at least able to try and fight against something like that.”
She warms my heart. It’s been weeks since the situation in Miami with Lovato and Enzo abducting her, but it still weighs heavily on her. Tonight’s failed hit job has only worsened matters. How can she not be afraid? She’s been caught up in our bloodthirsty battles for weeks now.
It’s not surprising she’s felt powerless. I still don’t want her involved, but if it makes her feel better to know some basic maneuvers and learn how to shoot, I don’t see the harm.
“All right,” I concede. “I’ll arrange for Louis to take you to a local range.”
Relief flickers over her pretty face. “And self-defense?”
I grin. “I can show you a few moves. Some easy ones that are not about strength or power, but speed and flexibility. Your dance background will probably come in handy.”
She kisses me. “Thank you.”
“Now, take off your clothes.” My gaze dips down her delectable body, pausing on her exposed stomach and how it curves into her hips. “How does a soothing bath sound?”
“Like the only way to unwind after my boyfriend was almost murdered.”
“He was a shitty shot. After a few lessons, you’ll be even better than him.”
“I’m sure that’s totally going to happen,” she says, laughing. She tugs her crop top over her head and reveals the beautiful lace and satin trim bra her breasts are encased in. That’s next to go as she twists her arms around her back and unfastens the hooks. Her breasts jiggle to freedom, and my hands are waiting to greet them. She moans as soon as my thumbs flick over her nipples. “Will you be joining me in this bath?”
A grin crosses my face. “I’ll have to make sure you unwind, won’t I?”
“Sure, as long as that’sallwe’re doing.”
“That’s never all we’re doing, and you already know that.”
Our happy spirit from earlier returns as we undress on our way into the bathroom. I start the water in the tub, and Falynn grabs the bath salts and bombs. As the sound of streaming water fills the bathroom and we dim the lights, I glance over at her.
It’s never been more important that we have more moments like this. More moments like earlier today. But it seems we’ll never be afforded much time in Vegas. It's more than deserved after everything that’s happened over the last couple of months.
The idea I’ve been toying with since earlier floats back to the front of my mind. I reach for her, pressing her lovely naked curves against me. Surprise flashes in her eyes before I drop a few soft kisses on her mouth and elsewhere, showing appreciation for her.
“Gio,” she breathes. I know she can feel my hard cock pressing against her stomach.
“How about we take some time off?” I ask. I run my hands down her bare flesh, cupping her breasts and then grabbing her hips. “How about a vacation? Just the two of us.”
