“We have dinner with my papà tomorrow,” I remind Vittoria and let Luna know.

Luna’s body stills, and she turns to me with wide eyes. For the first time since I took her last night, she closes her eyes off to me. I stand and take her hand.

“We’ll be back, Toria,” I say as I lead Luna through the door that leads directly into the master suite.

“Wait, Dario.” Luna tries to stop me, but I don’t let her. I lift her up and throw her over my shoulder, holding her skirt down.

When I drop her on the bed, I fall on her and cage her in.

“Don’t freak out. My father is a very important man in Vicenza. In America, you’d call him the boss. Here we call him the Capo.”

She looks over my shoulder and doesn’t look me in the eye. “Like a mafia capo.” Her soft voice holds no fear in it, as I would have thought. She doesn’t word it like a question either but a statement, as if she already knew.

More secrets.

I gently grip her chin and turn her face to focus on me. When she tries to look over my shoulder again, I drop down, putting a lot of my weight on her but not too much. We are breathing each other’s air, and she can’t look anywhere but at me.

“Yes, like that. But after I tell him you are mine, it’ll be okay. He’s demanding a family dinner, and I didn’t want to not include you. You’ll get to meet mynonna.” I told Luna earlier how mynonnaraised me after my mamma died. Instead of making her feel like we had something in common, I noticed she didn’t acknowledge it. She has so many secrets and hides so much of herself from me, but I’m willing to battleherfor all of her.

“Okay,” she says softly, and I kiss her lips deeply. Before it can get out of hand I jackknife up off the bed and lead her outside, where my housekeeper is setting the dinner food out.

We eat dinner together, and instead of Toria going back to her parents’, I let her stay in the spare bedroom on the floor I have done. She’s stayed there many times when she was trying to get away from her parents. Her papà is just like mine, old-fashioned and trying to set her up with men that will make a good union for the family instead of for love and something more.

I’m not going to allow my papà to do that to me with Luna. I want her and I will have her. He can’t stop me; he knows I’ll walk away. I’ve told him that already regarding my galleries and the vineyard. I’ve always liked art and music. Things he deems are distractions. But for me they are calming and centering.

Luna

I’ve enjoyed the day more than I thought possible. Dario and Vittoria are fun to be around. They joke like what I think a brother and sister would do instead of cousins. The banter had me laughing so hard one time I almost fell out of my chair. Dinner was amazing. Dario has a housekeeper, but he made sure to tell me he was a good cook too.

When we walked through the fields earlier, I had a recollection of myself watching a faceless couple in a garden at dusk. The memories are coming more and more. I had a dream last night while I was sleeping next to Dario of myself killing another man.

I tried. I really tried to get away from him today, but I couldn’t do it. I know if I’m not here, they will send someone else. But the pain of lying to him over and over about why I’m here is becoming too much. I can’t tell him the truth, or he will push me away, and I know that to walk away from him would kill me.

My heart is involved now.

After Vittoria heads into her room, Dario smiles at me. His grin is devilish, and my panties instantly combust with desire.

“Come with me.” He stands and holds out his hand, which I take.

We move from the poolside lanai to a pathway that leads around the side of the manor to the backside and along the wall where the master suite is. He stops at a spot shaded over with beautiful trees. A spa tub is lit up with underwater lights, and there are candles on every surface. A door from the master suite leads to the private area.

He pulls me into his arms and kisses me tenderly. It’s these kisses that are causing my heart to clench and thump harder for him. The zipper at my back is slowly drawn down. He steps back and watches as the red material slips down my body, leaving me in only a red thong. I slip my fingers in the sides and let them fall to the ground too. He reaches down and snags them when I slip them off my feet. I slide my sandals off and move to the edge of the tub. I take the steps and watch him as I sink down into the hot water. He strips and is in next to me in no time.

When he lifts me to straddle him, I don’t hesitate to slide down his length and take him all the way in. We hold there with him deep inside me as he kisses me thoroughly. He kisses my neck, then he pulls my hair from the water to fist it in his hand as I slowly move up and down on him.

“Ride me,dolce angelo. Take your pleasure on me. Use me.” His words do something to me. I started out slow, at a pace that gave us both pleasure, but I can’t take it anymore. I’m riding him hard now, using him as he told me to. I’m chasing that orgasm as he licks and sucks my skin.

“Dario,” I moan when he pinches my nipples and cups my breasts. My orgasm slams into me and I cry out.

“My turn,” he groans when he stands and lays me on the edge of the tub without breaking our connection.

He stands on the seat and starts moving in and out of me, looking down at my body. The coolness of the stone under my body, the heat of the tub of water that sloshes on me as he uses me like I did him, and the desire that is pulsing through me all cause a hurricane of emotions. I scream when I come this time, and he falls over me as he comes too.

“I’m going to fill you with my cum,il mio dolce angelo. I’ll breed your body so you can’t ever leave me.”

I can’t stop the words. “I’m no angel, Dario. I can’t have children.”
