The truth would be the end of something good before it had a chance to begin. A lie could be the start of something better that never had to end. My fingertips pressed against my scar.
I broke another promise to her, and I lied.
“I’m yours. Only yours.”
Allegra
Showered, shaved, and moisturized, I dressed in a sexy pair of panties and a matching bra. I wore a maxi skirt that clung to my curves and draped to the floor. I paired it with a tight sleeveless turtleneck that clung to my breasts like a second skin.
I wasn’t sure what time Marco would arrive, but I assumed I had a couple hours to pack and get a ride downtown to the Onyx. Because Marco hadn’t mentioned how long he’d be staying, I packed a small suitcase.
Sifting through my drawers, I picked out skimpy panties and bras. Mostly I packed casual skirts and tops. If he wanted to go anywhere special, I could always come home for a change of clothes.
Wearing a walking boot on my sprained ankle, I hobbled to the en suite bathroom to gather my toiletries.
“Hi,” I said to Deidre as she came into my room and plopped onto my bed.
“What’s going on?”
“Marco called.” The words sent a rush of excitement through me. He’d only been gone for a couple of weeks, and yeah, I was discovering that I wasn’t immune to fits of jealousy. We had ridiculously crazy chemistry.
Or maybe we were just both dark and a little bit psychotic. He’d had me mark him. Giada and Francesca would only need to see him without a shirt to know he was mine now.
At least, that was how I had tempered my doubts when he’d ghosted me for days at a time.
“He’s on his way,” I said.
Deidre’s brows lifted, and a smile curled her lips. Then she glanced at the suitcase. “So where are you going?”
“His suite at the Onyx.” I wasn’t going to waste a moment of our time together.
“What about Lanny and Emilio?”
I sat on the edge of the bed. “He didn’t say, but my guess is that they’ll be staying at the hotel, too.”
“I assumed they’d be coming here,” she said.
“They wouldn’t just show up. If they’d planned on staying here, they would’ve made arrangements.”
She pouted. “When will I see them?”
“We’ll figure something out for tomorrow. I’m meeting Marco tonight, but I’ll call you in the morning.”
“Can’t you just call me tonight?”
“I’m sure Orlando and Emilio are just as anxious to see you. But they’ll be tired from their flight and the time difference.”
“Then can I come with you? Please, Ally.”
My heart hurt for her. But I needed to be alone with Marco. I didn’t just need the physical touch of his hands on my body and his dick deep inside me, but there was the wedding to discuss, how long he was staying, and what happened when he went back to Italy.
“Dee, I need tonight alone with him.”
“But you won’t be alone. Lanny and Emilio are with him.”
“Not in the same room.”
“Then I’ll stay in their room.”
