A smile small enough that you’d blink and miss it graces his lips. It quickly morphs into an angered frown when one of the men gets too close, his camera close enough to my face that I startle.
In one quick shift of his feet, Diego steps in front of me, shielding me with his body. He grabs the guy’s camera and drops it to the ground.
“What the fuck, man?”
“This is your first and only warning.” Diego ignores his protest. “Ifanyonestands close enough to my wife that she can smell your desperation, it’ll be the last photo you ever take.”
Everyone goes quiet. There is no exaggerated threat in his tone or sensationalized words. The sentence is a statement of fact that leaves no room for interpretation.
“Nod so I know you understand.”
They all nod.
“Now move the fuck on so I can check on my wife.”
“You owe me a thousand bucks for breaking my camera.”
My eyes widen.
Diego steps forward, looks the guy in the eye, and crushes his boot against the broken lens. “Another word, and it’ll be your face.”
The photographer huffs but picks up the remnants of his camera and walks away.
Diego waits until we’re alone before turning back to me. “You okay?”
“One hundred percent. That was nothing. I’ve had worse.”
He growls, and I step into him to feel it rumble against my body. I kiss him, but he pulls away before I can slide my tongue into his mouth.
“Sia,” he hums. “The things I want to do to you…”
I nod, a buzz of anticipation vibrating on my lips.
“We don’t have time. Your flight was delayed, and everyone is already at my parents’ house.”
I drop my head to his chest.
“My mom would kill me if I didn’t show up.”
I look up at him with a small smile. “You afraid of your mom?”
He laughs. “I’m afraid that if I don’t share you with her now, she’ll spend the next few days at my house, and I plan on living with my cock buried deep inside you while you’re here, which would be awkward with her hovering around.”
My laughter catches me off guard, and I snort.
Opening my car door, he waits until I’ve climbed into my seat before closing me in and moving my suitcase onto the backseat.
We’ve been driving for five minutes when he says. “It’s nice to see you.”
I lick my lips. “I’ve missed you, too.”
He doesn’t attempt to hide his grin.

Cosimo and Anna’shome is brimming with family. Mafioso, their wives, and countless children. In truth, I hadn’t thought this through and likely should’ve brought a man or two of my own for protection. Diego sensed my dilemma the second we arrived, curling an arm around my waist and placing his lips against my ear. “You’re safe, but if it makes you more comfortable, I will stay with you at all times.”
“It makes me more comfortable.”
