Cat’s eyes darken and she adds, “Don’t worry,Dick, it was harmless.”

“Call me ’Dick’ one more time,Pussy Cat,and expect my cock shoved down your throat.” I then say under my breath so that only she can hear, “Respectfully.”

“You’ll have to excuse us, my husband and I have engagements elsewhere this evening that we’re late for.”

I glance behind me to find three men the same height as me but easily fifty percent larger. I quickly whip my head back around, my gaze falling to Cat. My posture stiffens, but relaxes when she lifts my hand to her face and kisses my palm.

Cat drags me by the wrist toward the exit. Once out of earshot, I pull her back flush with my chest, and press a kiss to her shoulder. She sighs against me.

“I’m done faking, Cat,” I groan.

“Good,” she replies, and I can hear the smile in her voice. “I’m pretty sure you promised me a cock shoved down my throat,Dick.”

CATARINA

Arriving home, my nephews must be running around playing somewhere in the house; their toys are scattered everywhere.

“These were not the toys I had in mind for tonight,” I grumble, stepping over them.

Richard picks up a large water soaker gun that I painted black for one of my nephews. He chuckles and asks, “What,Pussy Cat?You want me to do some kinky shit like fuck you with a gun?”

My eyes widen. “Absolutely not,Dick.”

He snakes his arm behind me, pulling me to him by my lower back with his free hand, stealing my breath. “Two minutes. You have two minutes. If you’re not naked in bed, legs spread for me, you’ll be soaking wet… and not from my mouth or cock.” He pulls the trigger and a stream of water squirts out.

I hold in my laughter as I pull the lapels of his jacket and whisper beside his ear, “Do I have to choose between your mouth and cock? I’m quite fond of both.”

Richard buries his face in the crook of my neck and groans, “Ninety seconds.”

He releases me, but as I begin running away, the front door flings wide open, shots firing into the house. “Cat!” Richard screams as a bullet nearly grazes my hip. I rush to the entryway closet and pull out a small pistol, turning to find Richard spraying the man in the face with the soaker gun. I aim for the hit’s temple and pull the trigger, watching with satisfaction as his wet body crumples to the floor.

Richard drops the water gun and rushes to me, looking over my body for any signs of pierced skin. “I’m ok, Richard.” I place my hands on his shoulders to ground him. “I’m alright.”

“Fuck, is this going to be a daily thing?” he asks with a huff of a laugh.

Yes, amore, it will be daily.

Amore?

I search his eyes, finding fear and a swirl of emotions I can’t place. As long as he’s here with me, he’ll never be safe.Wewill never be safe.

“We should get away,” I rush out.

“Is there anywhere we can go where someone isn’t actively trying to kill me?”

“Naples should be safe.”

He smirks. “I can try the cannolis your grandmother told me about.”

“When did you talk to my?—”

“Catarina, you better get that delicious man out of Verona and marry him. Or I will,” Nonna says, nonchalantly sipping a small glass of limoncello as she walks in.

“Nonna!” I shriek. About to speak to her in Italian, I switch to English for Richard. “Where did you come from?”

“What?” She shrugs. “He’s quite handsome. Probably good in bed. Look at those muscles…”

Richard coughs. “Hi, Nonna. We were just talking about?—”
