I looked at her, then back at Lorenzo, hesitating as a dark thought spread its shadowy fingers through my mind. She’d feel incredible if I forced my way inside her.

And then she’ll try to kill me.I rubbed my thumb along her lips. “As good as she looks like she’d feel, not tonight.”

“But boss—”

“I said not tonight!” I rose to my feet and locked eyes with Lorenzo. “We’re leaving.”

Istayed up most of the night, pacing with regret over my scheme. They had locked the door on their way out, trapping me in this bedroom. My mind raced, making it hard to do much more than worry about what I’d gotten myself into.

Still-life paintings encased in gold and silver frames covered the walls. The gold embroidery on the comforter gleamed in the gentle overheard light, and the plush bedding felt expensive. Soft sand-colored carpet cushioned my feet as I paced. Aside from how I got there—and being locked in—it wasn’t a bad place to stay.

When I walked into the large en suite bathroom and looked at myself, my mouth dropped open.Oh boy.I turned the faucet’s silver handle above the sink and rubbed a bar of floral-scented soap between my hands, scrubbing my face until every trace of my smeared makeup slithered down the drain. Satisfied, I forced myself to lie on the king-sized memory foam mattress and wrapped myself in the cozy blankets. The accommodations were incredible, but the hospitality in the room pissed me off.Fuck you, Enzo.The moment I’d seen him in the light, memories flashed to the front of my mind. And I hated him. It had been so damn long since I last saw him, and my brain had forced him out of my thoughts for all those years. For good reason.

I didn’t think any of this through. I’d been too enamored by the freedom dangling in front of me.

My eyelids grew heavy, and I fought sleep until I gave in and let myself drift out of the nightmare I’d put myself in.

The sun shiningthrough the large bay windows crept beneath my eyelids and forced me awake, despite my body still feeling like I needed more sleep. I yawned as I looked around and remembered where I was.

What did I do?

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to clean up. When I walked back into the bedroom, there was a knock on the door, and it opened with a slow creak. The familiar gruff voice of Silvio broke the silence in the room.

“I take it your arrival here was to your liking?” He smirked as he tossed my bag into the room.

“You know damn well it wasn’t.”

“Well, shit, that’s what I get for sending my son to do my job,” he said with sarcasm lacing his words. His flirty stare hovered over the cleavage peeking from the top of my low-cut shirt. I covered my chest with my arms.

Enzo came into the room behind his father. He wore black dress pants and a dark blue dress shirt that paired well with his mesmerizing eyes.

Fuck that.I tore my gaze away from his face, looking anywhere else.

“We need to know you aren't concealing any weapons or wires,” Silvio said with a grin. “Take your shirt and pants off.”

Enzo's eyes snapped to his father as he wrung his hands together in front of his lap.

“We disarmed her last night,” Enzo said, but Silvio waved him off.

I hesitated, knowing my family would do the same thing, just not in such a perverted manner. My breath hitched as I grabbed the bottom of my shirt and lifted it over my head, sending my hair tumbling down my back. My eyes remained on the men as I unzipped my jeans and wiggled them down until the fabric bunched at my knees. Silvio’s eyes climbed my body. Enzo stared at me as well, his gaze lingering on the black bra pushing my cleavage together.

“Nope, no wires.” Silvio groaned. His cellphone rang, and he looked at me with clear desire before leaving the room to do business.

I was alone with Enzo.

He walked toward me, each step more confident than the last. He reached around me and ran his hand along my spine until his fingertips met the waistband of my panties. I looked up at him, my thoughts racing and taking U-turns into sexual territory.No fucking way. Fuck him.His fingers dipped past my underwear and drew me out of my mind, a shiver climbing up every vertebra in my back. I blew out a breath and took a step back from him.

“Why?” I demanded.

“Why what, Giovanna?” His voice was soft and sultry, unlike how he’d spoken last night.

“Did you actually abduct me? I shouldn't have been taken like that. It wasn’t part of the plan.”
