Michele stepped out of the room with me. The guard straightened and visibly became uncomfortable when he looked at me. He would not ask anything since Michele was with me, but I could tell that he was planning to report this to Gabriele in the morning.
“We are leaving for the hotel bar, Daniele,” he said with a wink. It was damn hard not to roll my eyes at his looks.
Daniele cleared his throat. “Have fun, Mr. Falzone.”
His eyes went up and down on the guard. “Oh, I think we will,” he said and pushed me to the elevator by the small of my back. It was very unfair that people thought I was the one who seduced guards for my own benefit. It was another Falzone.
After all, we were all just too hot. I mean, Michele was irritating, but he was still very handsome. Good genes.
I texted Antonio when we were in the elevator. He responded right away. I was sure he was going to be waiting at the door when I was out of the hotel. Just the way I wanted and deserved to be treated.
“What are you going to say when you show up without me?” I asked even though I knew the answer. I also knew he was not going to give me that answer.
“That is for me to worry about Priscilla. Now go to your little date with Mr. Heartless and remember how much of an amazing brother I am.”
This time I did roll my eyes before thanking him with a fake smile. He didn’t care anyway. He was not doing this to be good. He was planning to get something from this. Well, he was not getting it.
When I stepped out of the hotel, a car in front flashed its headlights, and I looked inside to see Antonio’s beautiful marble-carved face looking back at me. I smiled and opened the car door. I was so bad at knowing car models and shit, but it was a nice black car. I liked nice cars. I just didn’t know anything about them other than they were pretty.
“Hello,” I chirped as I closed the door and reached for my buckle. Before I could touch it, Antonio’s hand came to my cheek, turning my face back to his. My brows came together with confusion, and he pulled me to him. It was so easy. He was like a magnet for me.
“Hi,” he answered before pressing his perfect lips to mine. Oh, I could get used to being greeted like that.
He didn’t deepen the kiss, but when he pulled back, my heart was crazy in my chest. I had kissed a lot before, but I was not used to kissing Antonio. It was new for me, and I knew my shyness was showing despite all my strong acts. Luckily Antonio didn’t seem like he minded.
I reached for my buckle with shaky hands, and he didn’t start the car before I was buckled up safely. He only watched me with amusement since I was still shaken by the kiss. “You were really not joking about sneaking out.”
For some reason, it made me loosen up. I was good at talking. I could talk for hours without running out of topics, so it was my safe territory. Sexuality, on the other hand, was something new to me when it was me doing it.
“It was a little hard,” I admitted. “I needed assistance.”
His dark brows came together. “From who?”
“Michele. He is easy to manipulate.” I mean, it was kind of true. I didn’t exactly manipulate him, but I was not planning to hold my promise to him. I was not in the mood to focus on anything in the future other than Antonio. Michele didn’t matter to me.
“Edge,” Antonio murmured. “He is a little heated guy, isn’t he?”
I remembered how he caused kind of a fight today. “He is. Gabriele is not happy with him either.”
Antonio shook his head. “Cosa Nostra has many men like him. It is just when he comes face to face with someone like Salvatore it gets complicated.”
Yeah, Salvatore was called Crazy Eyes. He was probably even more heated than Michele and more dangerous. I felt like it would be easier if it were just Gabriele and Antonio. “Yet, you are the one Gabriele doesn’t like.”
“Gabriele doesn’t like me?” He asked. He didn’t sound offended or surprised, but I still felt like it was something I wasn’t supposed to say.
I cringed inwardly. “Well, yes.” Lying would just look more pathetic.
Antonio’s lips twitched. I guess it was the closest thing to a smile for him. “Maybe he sensed that I was going to take his little sister out.”
That remark made me giggle like a little girl. I was happy he didn’t react harshly to my mistakenly shared information. I also liked that he brought the topic to us from all the business stuff. We didn’t need that. We needed to focus on ourselves.
“So, where are you taking me?” I asked curiously. He was dressed in a three-piece suit, but it was like a uniform for Italian mobsters, so it didn’t give me any indication about our destination.
“I figured we don’t have enough time for a tour, but we can watch the city. It is also late for dinner, but I have a little surprise for you.”
I clapped my hands, and Antonio got a shine in his amber eyes I saw before. He got that weird bright look in them sometimes, but it was impossible to understand if it was good or not. I hoped it was good since he was here with me in a car. I just hoped the reason for all this was not just to have a quick fuck. I mean, it was too risky for a few minutes of fun.
After a while, we reached our destination. It was a hill, and it seemed deserted. It was seeing the whole city perfectly. I jumped from the car, “It is amazing!”
