He left my body and I shivered, instantly feeling the loss, but he opened his arms and let me curl up next to him.
“I’m sorry.” I whispered. I didn’t want to ruin the serenity surrounding us in the moment, but at one point we had to talk about Milano. It might as well be now.
“What are you sorry for?”
“For leaving. You were right, I should have been with you. It was selfish of me to leave when you needed me here.”
“There will be other parties for you to look pretty on my arm.”
I pinched his chest and he scoffed.
“I’m proud to be married to a man like you – so smart and fearless and dangerous – and I should have been here to tell you that.”
He placed a soft kiss on my head. “I know.”
“Your father would be proud too.”
“He hated this idea with the power-plant. He thought it wasn’t smart to get in the eyes of the government like that.”
“Adrian was old school, but I’m sure he saw the potential.”
“Maybe.”
Tracing circles on his pectorals, I looked up, but he was not paying attention to me.
“Sasa?”
“Hm?”
“I love you.”
“I know,Tesoro.”
“Tell me you love me too.”
“I adore the ground you walk on. Stop worrying, Grazi. I was angry and knowing you, I’ll probably get angry a lot in this life, but I will never stop loving you.” I exhaled and Salvatore’s hold around me tightened. “I don’t have to say it, Grazia. As long as there’s blood in my heart, it’s because I love you.”
“I know, but I hated that you didn’t say a word to me for so long. I would rather have you scream.”
“It’s over now. Are you sure you’re ok after everything that happened?”
“Yes.”
“Good.”
“Will there be problems in Milano? People saw Yannis breaking Walsh’s legs.”
“That’s the last thing you need to worry about.”
“I hit him in the nose. He was bleeding.”
“Good. There will be a lot more blood when I get my hands on that motherfucker.”
“Sasa, no. I don’t want you to risk…”
“I said not to worry. You married me and I take care of you. End of,Tesoro.” There was no fighting him on that. Now I was talking to myDon, not to my husband, andDonSalvatore Fiori didn’t let men hurt women. “Try and catch some sleep, ok?”
“Will you hold me?”
