I nodded, having spent some time in Italy before. “Like you want to tape their arms to their sides and see if it makes them mute.”
He laughed so hard he leaned into me and then gave me a hug. “I wasn’t going to take it that far, but damn that’s funny. Now I want to know the answer.”
“I’m glad you’re having fun,” I muttered, blushing when I realized how normal and awesome this was. It was so far out ofmynormal that it was a bit awkward for me. I really liked it though. I wanted to do things like this more often, and Kiera felt the same way from her desires.
Fuck, Kiera.
I’d totally forgotten to follow up with Lewis about options she could buy from corporate to fix her housing situation. And now it was all with Chun and there was a lot there.
I texted Melissa and asked her if she could meet up later and if she wanted any pizza from Naples.
She replied that of course she did because she wasn’t an idiot and to bring her treats too. She was working and I could stop by anytime for whatever I needed.
Apparently, none of us knew how to turn it off and take a break.
We had Cuoppo next which was a fried street food with a tempura-type batter, so it wasn’t heavy. I had several orders of the seafood option which was fried cod, anchovies, squid, and shrimp.
Then it was their sub sandwiches. I didn’t think they were called that, but… They were sub sandwiches and amazing.
And the guy who served us talked with both hands and gestured wildly. Yeah, it was hard not to be amused after what we’d discussed earlier.
Kiera wanted to check out the booze, so Mindy brought us to a great place. I bought a bottle of wine for Aidan since I absolutely owed him alcohol and knew he liked wine. I also got several bottles of Limoncello—which was made with lemons—and Meloncello made from melons. I’d only had Limoncello, so I was excited to see there was something else like it.
We actually sat at a café after that and ordered pasta, pasta, and more pasta as we people watched and took in the ambiance.
The angels and others from corporate headed out after that, but Kiera stayed with Mason and I for a bit longer.
“We’re going for more pizza and dessert, right?” she checked, nodding when I snickered.
Of course, we were.
Mason had tapped out a while ago and didn’t eat as much as we did. Hell, I was eating twice as much as Kiera. It was just all so good, and I didn’t care if it was over the top or one of the gluttony demons could feed off of me.
I just wanted it all in my happy belly.
I was about to call it when we found a shop with buffalo mozzarella. I bought a lot but to go. We didn’t have enough food for later. That was a crime when it was all so good.
No, weabso-fucking-lutelydid. When I arrived at home base to pick up what was ours and bring it to the villa, I burst out laughing that we took up the whole kitchen table. They’d brought the food to share into the dining room but left Kiera’s and my purchases in the kitchen with a sign saying not to touch.
And the table sateightand was overflowing.
“You are never boring, muffin,” Mason sighed and then did a double take. “This is the first time I’ve said that and you’re not hungry. Wow, I didn’t think that was possible.”
“I ate half of Naples,” I drawled. “Even I have limits.” I narrowed my eyes at people when they had a variety of reactions. “Oh, fuck off. None of us are delicate eaters.”
I had the last laugh reminding them that they were the first to go with the new training on Tuesday.

Melissa came over for pizza and so we could talk privately with Kiera. She was polite with Mason but admitted she had a thing with warlocks as well and asked for his understanding.
He was totally fine with it and excused himself to get some work done.
“It’s always lovely to see you, but why are you here?” Kiera asked Melissa.
I answered instead. “I know you don’t want to live in downtown Berlin anymore and want something quieter. I talked to Lewis about what we had available as corporate given what I felt you wanted and was hopeful there was something you could easily purchase for not market value.”
“Wow, thanks, Jasmine,” she whispered, looking a bit shell-shocked.
