“I never thought I’d see the day a woman nails Luca Russo down.”
“She’s special. I knew right from the start. I always joked about you and Grayson being pussy whipped, but damn, I get it. That woman can tie me up and spank my ass and I won’t argue.”
She did rope me down, and I loved every second of it.
“Yeah, it happens, but I prefer to be the one doing the spanking,” he chuckles.
A seriousness flashes across his face. “Why didn’t you tell us? We could have helped. You didn’t have to do this all on your own. If they threatened my daughter, you know I would have hunted every single one of those fuckers down.”
His hand tightens around the glass.
“That’s exactly why, Keller. You have a family. I’m not letting you risk it all to deal with my screw ups. I stole the guns, I made the deal. I wouldn’t let anything happen to my niece. I still couldn’t save Mom though.”My throat feels like it’s closing in.
“You didn’t kill Mom, Luca. Dante did. Romano did. And now we will get our revenge. You can’t live your life blaming yourself. You’ll go mad.”
I scratch the back of my neck, the image of Mom lifeless on the floor still burns in my mind.
“I’ll take you to the airstrip tomorrow. I’ll call them to get the jet ready. I’ve heard Greece is nice this time of year.”
We both stand, and he pulls me into his frame.
“I love you, brother. Never forget that. We might not have had the family growing up, but I’m glad we made our own.” His voice breaks as he speaks.
“I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
CHAPTEREIGHTY-THREE
luca
Rosa’s head rests on my shoulder as Keller drives us to the airport. I let mine roll against the seat and let out a breath. “A few more minutes and we start our new life.”
She sits up, her face beaming. “It’s going to be everything we ever dreamed of.”
I nod. “And more.” I pull her back against me.
Keller looks at me through the rearview mirror and smiles.
I stroke her silky hair, finally feeling complete. I have everything I’ve ever dreamed of right here.
Our hangar comes into view.We did it.
“I love you, Ro–”
My body jolts and crashes into the metal door. Glass shatters around me. I instinctively wrap Rosa closer to me to protect her.
“Stay down,” I shout.I rub my forehead and blood covers my fingers.
“Rosa.” Panic laces my voice. I turn to her, her worried eyes stare back at me.
The door slams, making her jump in my arms. Keller rushes out of the vehicle and rounds the front of the car, aiming his gun at the blacked-out SUV that’s impaled into the passenger side of our car.
My Bentley.
Grabbing Rosa’s face in my hand, I let out a ragged breath. I check her over, relieved when there isn’t a mark on her.
She flinches and squeezes her eyes shut as the gun goes off. I squash her face into my chest and hold her tight, my other hand wrapping around my pistol.
Keller storms back to the car, opening my door.“We gotta go.”
