His gaze keeps mine as he slides his cock inside my molten core. I shudder.
“Sensitive?” he asks.
“A little.”
Wrapping his arm around me, he rolls us until I’m on top of him. I rotate my hips slowly, loving the way it feels to have him under me like this. His cock is huge, filling me to the brim, and each little move ignites every one of my nerve endings. I revel as his hand travels up my stomach and chest to wrap around my neck.
“I’m so sorry,” he says suddenly, his voice sounding broken.
“What for?”
Alessandro doesn’t reply, only watches me with a strange look in his eyes. I lean a bit forward, and Alessandro lifts and places his other hand on my cheek.
“I love you, Ravenna. More than anything or anyone else I’ve ever loved,” he whispers. “Please, remember that.”
I don’t understand why he sounds so . . . sad. Rocco is gone. We’re finally free.
“What’s going on?”
“Nothing, baby.” His lips curve up into a small smile. “I just wanted you to know. That’s all.”
I keep riding him, marveling at the feel of his body under mine, while he keeps staring at my face, that sad smile ghosting his lips the entire time.
Chapter 21
I pull the blanket up to cover Ravenna’s naked shoulder and sit on the edge of the bed, staring at the phone in my hand. Several scenarios were running through my head as I was lying next to Ravenna earlier, her head tucked into the crook of my neck. None of them were great, and each option seemed worse than the last. The moment I offed Pisano, I knew there’s only one feasible outcome to this situation.
I find the name I’m looking for in my contacts list and dial. It’s well after midnight, but he’ll answer. No one calls the don at this time unless it’s an emergency.
“What happened?” Salvatore Ajello’s voice comes through the line.
“Rocco Pisano is dead,” I say.
“Did the Serbs get him?”
“No. I did.”
Dead air reigns before he speaks again. “And are you just calling to confess?”
“No. I called to tell you that Ravenna had nothing to do with it. No harm should be done to her.”
I’ve been working for the don directly for years, and he gets me well enough to know that I wouldn’t kill anyone without a reason. Especially a capo. But it doesn’t change the fact that I did so without his approval. I went against the don and betrayed the Family. The punishment for that is death. I can’t run and I can’t lie to him. Besides, he probably already knows what happened at the brunch party, including me and Ravenna kissing in front of everyone.
Ajello again falls silent, making panic rise in my chest. To keep Ravi safe, I wouldn’t bat an eye over killing him, too. But I’m not sure I’ll ever get that chance.
“Please.” I close my eyes and squeeze the phone in my hand.
“Did he deserve it?”
“He deserved much more than what I served up,” I say.
Another pause. It probably lasts mere seconds, but it feels like eons to me.
“Are you at Rocco’s house?” Ajello asks.
“Yes.”
“The body?”
