“I…God this sounded so much better in my head.”

Something crosses his eyes, and I realize what it is…he thinks I was just saying it in the heat of the moment. That couldn’t be further from the truth. After our night together, I can honestly say that I love him all the more.

“Baby, I want you to be honest with me, even if you think it’s not what I want to hear, alright?”

I nod, cupping his face as I stay sitting on him, his cock still inside me. “I really meant it, Dante,” I whisper, afraid if the words leave my mouth, he’ll regret saying them back. That he’ll realize it probably was just in the heat of the moment.

It does feel good being with him, I can’t deny it, but whether he feels the same way…I don’t know.

“So did I,” he whispers back.

My heart accelerates. “You did?”

He smiles against my mouth as we sit wrapped around one another.

“Oh, Mia, what am I going to do with you?”

“Corrupt me some more?” I shrug.

He shakes his head. “I think it’s you who corrupted me,little bird.From the first moment I saw you.”

“I want to keep seeing you,” I say. “Back in Boston.”

“I want that too.”

“But what about Angelo?”

“We’ll hide it for now, until I can talk to him. He’ll understand. He just doesn’t want you getting hurt and, in turn, the potential for Rayne to be hurt. It would make things awkward with the family.”

I don’t care what Angelo says. He doesn’t own me just because my sister will be his wife. I can date whomever I want. If he’s got something to say about it, then so do I.

I won’t be told what I can and can’t do by anybody.

“I’ll do whatever it takes,” I tell him, knowing my words are dangerous. I’ve fallen in love with him, and it’s been a slow build-up to this point. Being with him this weekend has made everything so much clearer.

“I’ve never heard such sweet words come out of your mouth,” he tells me as a small smile spreads across his face. “We’ll figure this out.”

“I want that. I want to be with you, like this.”

He kisses me as I draw him closer, his lips soft and smooth as we kiss slowly.

“Just give me some time,” he murmurs between kisses. “That’s all I ask.”

“Yes,” I whisper as he rolls me over so I’m on my back. “Just stay with me, here, now. Please.”

He presses another kiss to my lips as he hovers over me.

“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,little bird.”

And that may just be the sweetest words I’ve ever heard.

DANTE

When we get backto Boston, I dive straight back into work. I have a lot to catch up on from the weekend I’ve been away, and Marco is as relentless as ever.

Even though I have a lot on my plate when I return, my mind never leaves Mia and the time we just spent in New York. It has been one of the best weekends of my life.
