Angelina squeezes her arms around my neck and her legs tighten around my waist. “You owe me a house.”
“Yeah, sorry about that. I got a little carried away.”
“A little?” She snorts and buries her face in the crook of my neck. “I thought I would never see you again.”
“Why didn’t you say anything? I would have taken care of Diego for you, baby.”
“He told me he would kill you if I didn’t come back.” She presses her palms on my cheeks and looks into my eyes. “I could never risk your life. I don’t think I would ever forgive myself if something happened to you because of me.”
“Well, I’m sure no one would miss me and my shit.”
“Do not say that!” She squeezes my face. “Don’t you dare say that ever again! Felix would miss you. Mimi. Your brother.”
“Oh, Roman probably would throw a party.”
“That’s not true, and you know it.” She leans forward, pressing her lips to mine, then pulls back to look me in the eyes. “I would miss you.”
My body goes stone-still. “Why?”
“Because I’m in love with you,” she whispers and kisses me again.
When she pulls back, I search her face. “I thought you were scared of me. You said so in the note you left.”
“I’ve never been scared of you, Sergei. What I feared was that you might come after me and end up dead. I’m so sorry for hurting you, baby.”
“So . . . you’re coming back? With me?”
“If you have nothing against that plan, yes.”
I look down into her eyes and crush her to me. “Marry me,” I blurt out.
Angelina blinks, glances around us where at least twenty bodies are scattered, then stares back at me. “You really know how to pick the time and place, big guy.”
“Will you marry me?”
I think my heart stops beating while I watch her with eyes glued to her lips, waiting for her answer.
“Of course, I will.” She grins and kisses me.
Suddenly, a loud honk comes from the direction of the driveway and Angelina tenses in my arms. Grinding my teeth, I look at the car where Felix keeps pressing on the horn.
“I’m going to kill him,” I bite out. The old bat just ruined my marriage proposal.
“Will you two lovesick idiots come here already so we can leave?” Felix yells with his head out the window.
“You’re dead, Albert!” I say as I carry Angelina to the car.
“We’ll all be dead if we don’t leave right now! I’m sure that half of Mexico’s police force and firemen are on their way here.Along with a seismic team, because you decided to rearrange the fucking continent with your explosions!”
“Just shut the fuck up and drive.”
I open the back door and whistle for Mimi to get inside, then sit in the rear, still holding Angelina in my arms. The moment Felix starts the car, I press my face into her hair and inhale her scent.
“I thought I was going to lose my mind when you left,” I mumble next to her ear.
“I’m so sorry. I promise I’m going to make up for it as soon as we get home.”
“Yeah, about that... we’ll be staying in a hotel for a week or two,” I say and lightly bite the side of her neck.
