We fit so fucking well together. He’s the moon to my waves, the breeze in my branches. I love him. I do. I really don’t give a fuck if people think it’s too soon or too fast to feel such emotions because I know my mind and heart.
And my heart is screaming with love.
Just as he pushes my back up against the wall and continues kissing the life out of me, Marco’s voice has us both flinching. I laugh because anytime we’re together we always forget everyone around us. We get lost in each other so easily. I love it.
“You two want to get caught making out when the bastard shows up? Fine with me, but I’m taking Carla home,” Marco says with his arms crossed.
“We’re coming, sheesh,” I say, but when Gavriel glares at Marco’s smirk and wagging eyebrows I know I said something suggestive.
Rolling my eyes, I mutter, “Boys,” and pick up my bags before anyone can see me turn red. I swear, Marco, Drake, and Nico are the brothers I wish I had growing up, but sometimes I want to hang them by their heels.
“Stai zitto, idiota,” Gavriel says to Marco. I’m not quite sure what he said but theidiotpart tells me enough.
With one last look around, I give Gavi my bag. “Okay, I got everything I need. Let’s go.”
On the way down to the car I’m thinking of the ominous letter left in my notebook. Who the hell left it and how long have they known where I live? Fuck! Did they ever come in while I was there, sleeping, fucking showering?
No, that can’t be, not only am I a light sleeper—due to nighttime creepers, mind you—but they would have already killed me.
Gavriel must be thinking about it all too because as we climb in the car, he asks, “Do you recognize the writing on the note?”
“No, and I don’t have any paper like that. So, this person must have written it beforehand. They know I’m with you and they confirmed that Luca is alive.”
Reading over the note again, Gavriel growls to Marco, “DidPapaever tell you who he suspected of the Romano killings? Thisbastardois claiming the murders so obviously the culling of traitors didn’t eliminate him.” The culling? What the fuck? Does he mean that his father went on a traitor killing spree when my mother and father were killed?
I know it sounds twisted as fuck, but I could kiss Andino Renzetti right now.
My parents were loved by these people. They must have been great if they were worthy of such devotion.
“No, he didn’t. We were too young at the time and Pop hadZioto help him find and kill traitors. We’ll find this piece of shit, brother. Our women will be safe at the house. We’ll have Nico and Drake on them at all times when we’re not there.” I think Marco has decided he’s not going to tiptoe around his feelings for Carla anymore. He confirms that thought when he reaches over and grabs her hand while driving. She doesn’t fight him, so I’m certain she’s feeling the same way too. I just hope he stays true to her or I’ll cut his balls off.
“Yes, and have Drake bring his crew in on it. They’re to be at the house at all times, even if the girls aren’t there. This fucker knows Sia is with me, so I don’t want any slack in the security. Have Nico run a check on the security system and make sure there’s no blind spots,” Gavriel says while pulling out his phone and dialing someone.
The loud ringing tone coming through the speakers tells me he has his phone connected to the Range Rover’s Bluetooth.
“Ciao.” Andino’s voice comes through. “Come va, figlio? What’s going on, son?”
“Pop, we need a meeting as soon as possible. Family meeting first and then we’ll need afamigliameeting after,” Gavriel says in a cold voice while sliding his hand between my thighs. He’s going to be the death of me if he keeps making my heart beat erratically.
“What’s happened?”Zio’s voice has now gone completely monotone. He sounds like the Don that he is.
“There’s been a threat to Sia and Luca. A note was left in Anastasia’s room.” Gavriel sounds like he’s ready to rip someone’s head off. Now my heart is beating quickly for another reason entirely. No one has ever been protective of me.
He’s my loaded gun, unrepentant in his devotion to me. Willing to unleash his wrath on anyone I point him to. I’ll be damned if I ever walk away from him and with the way he looks at me I don’t think there’s anywhere I could go that he wouldn’t find me.
“Cazzo!”Ziosays with rage. If he’s pissed now, I can only imagine how he was when my parents died. If the killing spree is anything to go on, I’m fairly certain he putsicariosto shame.
Breathing deeply, he says, “I’m here with your mother. Nico is here, but you’ll need to get Drake here. I’ll call Adriano.” He doesn’t wait for a reply, he just hangs up.
I look over at Gavriel and say, “If my presence at your mother and father’s home will bring trouble then maybe I should stay somewhere else?” I don’t know exactly where I’d stay, but I don’t want to bring shit down on them.
“No,amore mio. You will stay with us there. We’ll bring our brothers back in and make sure guards are on duty there. I want you with me and I know my family feels the same way. Don’t fight me on this, because where you go, I go and then the family will be split up and less protected.” He makes a good point, but I’ll need confirmation from his family.
Their lives are on the line too.
