“You love me?” Her head perks up, turning to look at me.
I never said it out loud, especially to her. I hadn’t even admitted it to myself. But there’s no going back now.
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“Isn’t it too soon?” she asks, not making eye contact with me.
“I mean, I love you now, and I’ll love you in six months, and I’ll love you forever if you’ll let me. I can wait to tell you, but what’s the point?” I loop my fingers around her hair that’s fallen onto the side of her face, and she looks at me with that damn smile.
“Say it again.”
“I love you.”
She kisses me deeply and pulls away, looking into my eyes. “I love you, too, Nico.”
I grab her head and deepen the kiss. She maneuvers her body and straddles me. My cock is already at full mast, aching for her pussy.
I want her so much. Removing my shirt from her, I show her exactly how much.
After a long night of sex, she lies on my chest. I love that I can just be silent with her. I run my fingers through her hair as she rubs my chest. Fuck, if I want this forever.
“Your thoughts are practically bouncing off the walls,” I joke.
She laughs before taking a deep breath.
“What if we can’t kill him? What if we do but I’m a bad leader? I didn’t grow up with them. What if they don’t accept me? What if this ruins us?”
“That’s a lot of what-ifs.” I pause. “First of all”—I grab her by her shoulders and force her still, her tits in front of my eyes—“you and I are a done deal. We’re solid and always will be. Second, wewillkill him. And third, you won’t be a bad leader because you’ll have the support of the Outfit and the Cosa Nostra. But even without us, you’re smart, strong, and despite your size, terrifying. I’ve seen it firsthand and have no doubt you’ll turn things around for them. Plus, you can’t be worse than Li.”
I shouldn’t have lifted her up, goddamnit.Focus.
“Dom was right, you know. My loyalties are all twisted,” she says.
“Don’t see why you have to pick, babe. There’s family, business, and pleasure. Your duties are completely different. The Outfit is your family. So long as Cesare and Dom are alive, they won’t abandon you. Think of the Triad as business and me as pleasure,” I say, wiggling my eyebrows, leaving out the part that I hope to also be included in the family part very soon. That gets her to laugh at least.
“Do you think the Triad will accept the Cosa Nostrawhoreas their new boss?”
“You’re not a whore. Although, there’s that one thing that you do that just makes me—”
She smacks me with a pillow. “Focus, Nico!”
I chuckle. “Do you trust me?”
She lays back down on my chest, and I wrap my arms around her.
“I do,” she replies.
She has no idea how ironic her reply is.
“Okay, then. Get some sleep. I have a plan.” We lay in silence until we both fall asleep.
Chapter Twenty-Three

Iwake the next morning and look at the time: six thirty a.m. Nico is already dressed and walking back over to the bed.
“Where are you going?” I ask, yawning.
