“There is. I can pump fuel between tanks.”
Ella smiles. “Good. Do that.”
Who is this woman?
The blushing girl has disappeared, replaced by a badass goddess. She surprises me at every turn. There’s a depth to her I didn’t expect, and I can’t wait to discover more.
“I think we should let Santino catch up now, or he might have a heart attack,” I say.
She doesn’t respond right away, but pushes down on the accelerator one last time before begrudgingly slowing down.
“That was so good!” She looks alive with rosy cheeks and bright eyes that rival the stars. “This baby flies like the wind.”
Santino catches up to us and overtakes our Ferrari, glaring at Ella as he does.
She laughs. “Oops, I think I’m in trouble,” she says with a mischievous glance at me.
“Good thing I’m the only one allowed to put you over my knee.” I wink at her and enjoy the blush coloring her face.
Looks like my little innocent Ella is back. I can’t wait to show her all the fun I have in store for us.
Her innocence and my experience are like a match made in heaven. She’s like a blank page, and the thought of molding her into my sex goddess is making me instantly hard.
Patience, I remind myself for the hundredth time tonight.
We pull up at her hotel, and she kills the engine, handing me back the keys.
“Thank you. This is, without a doubt, the best car I’ve ever driven,” she beams.
I might just buy one for her for her birthday.
“My pleasure, princess.” I take her hand and kiss the top of it. Her skin is incredibly soft, and the urge to tear off her clothes to discover just how soft is burning me up alive. Reluctantly, I let go of her and get out of the car.
I’m about to take her hand to guide her inside, but she turns to me with a timid smile. “No need to walk me up to my room. Thank you for a… memorable night.” She leans in to kiss my cheek.
She wants to put distance between us, and unfortunately, I will have to let her—for now.
I need to take care of the threat that could derail everything and put her in danger. If Molinaro knew how important Ella had become to me in only four short days, he would stop at nothing to hunt her down.
“Prego. Let me know if Rhia is working tomorrow. I’ll take you out on my boat, and we can explore the islands around here.”
“That sounds lovely. Thank you, Tiero.”
Good, she’s not trying to get out of it and run from me… not that she could. I gather her into my arms, planting a chaste kiss on her lips. “Sweet dreams, princess.”
“Buonanotte,” she calls over her shoulder as she climbs the stairs and disappears into the hotel.
Santino walks over with a glare on his face. I laugh. “Lighten up.”
With a heavy sigh, I shift into business mode. “Tutto pronto?” All set, I ask.
He nods and informs me that more of our men are already on the way to Molinaro’s Sicilian villa.
It’s rare he stays there, preferring to run all aspects of his business from his heavily guarded residence in Rome. Not that his house here is any less secure, but the intel we collected over the past six months revealed a few weaknesses we’re able to exploit.
I suspected he was on the island after the car incident last week, but it was confirmed when we captured one of his soldiers this morning. With a little help from Santino, he spilled the beans.
This war between our families will end tonight.
