He reaches to cup the sides of my face, holding me for a moment as he assesses me with an intensity that’s unnerving.
“I don’t like another man’s hands on you.”
“Then do something about it.”
He looks torn. So very torn. Like whichever way he decides will be wrong.
He kisses my lips quickly. “Rocco’s in the car.”
“Then come back.”
He frowns, pressing his forehead to mine as we stand for a few moments.
“Go to bed,” he says. Then he lets go of me and turns to leave without a backward glance.
I’m gutted.
I want him so bad, and he just teases me with a kiss, then stalks off because he’s got his big boy panties in in twist.
I take my sorry ass to bed, but not before jumping in the shower because I smell like a bar.
Leaving a glass of water and two aspirin on the side table for Bianca, I make sure she’s tucked in and has everything she needs, including a small trash can too… just in case.
I check my phone again, but there are no messages.
He didn’t stay.
As I slide into bed, I turn out the light. I drift off quickly, not realizing how I tired I actually am.
It’s not until after three when something startles me awake.
I jolt out of my sleep and almost scream when I feel Enzo slide into my bed.
I know it’s him by the way he smells.
“Enzo?” I breathe, my heart almost running away with me.
“Shhh,” he says. “I came here to sleep, not to fuck you.”
“You could have warned me.”
“I sent you a text.”
I frown. “Wait, how did you get in here?”
He gives me a pointed look. He did install the security and all, I guess that is a dumb question. “I’m risking a lot by coming here, Val. My sanity, for one, along with my balls if Angelo shows up in the morning.”
I pull him to me. “I’m so glad you came back.”
He pushes me back down to the bed gently, pulls me into his arms, my back to his front, and we spoon.Freaking spoon.
It feels so warm and so right in his arms. I never want his warmth to end, it encases me and makes me feel special. Like I matter to him, despite how I may act sometimes, it’s all I’ve ever wanted. Even if I’ve only recently discovered this information and have no idea what to do with it.
I’m about to open my mouth again when he says, “Shhh, baby girl. You need sleep.”
Drifting off in his arms, I know nothing can get me while he’s near. I love that idea more than I should, more than he will ever know.
He came back.
