I smile. “I think you’ll be a good one. You’ve been taking good care of me.”
His smile to me is genuine. “Grazia.”
We arrive at the hotel and head up to my suite. I plan to try again to call Luca. I may have to cut this trip short if I don’t talk to him soon.
Bruno opens the door, and I step in. Movement near the window has me sucking in a breath of air.
Bruno must have seen it too as he steps in front of me and pulls his gun. “Who’s there?”
Luca steps from the shadows, his arms up in surrender.
“Luca?” I ask, both confused and joyful.
A warm smile spreads across his face as he moves his arms open for an embrace. "Aria.”
I feel a deep sense of belonging and throw my arms around him, kissing him passionately. Luca returns the kiss, his strong arms enveloping me.
“What are you doing here?”
“I couldn’t be away from you one minute more.”
I turn to Bruno. “Did you know he was coming?”
“I did not.”
That surprises me. I look at Luca.
He gives me a sheepish smile. “I acted impulsively. I missed you, and so I got on a plane and here I am.”
“I thought you couldn’t come.”
“I decided I’d risk it to see you. Paolo is watching things, although I’d like for you to return to Italy, Bruno.”
“I should stay and protect you,” Bruno says.
“I’d feel better with you managing things in Italy. Oh, and that issue we discussed before? It’s resolved. Rocco Perotta is dealing with it.”
Bruno’s brows knit together.
“It’s Rocco’s responsibility,” Luca says.
Bruno sighs, almost looking disappointed. “Grazia. I’ll take my leave.”
When Bruno leaves, I turn my attention to Luca. “What’s that about?”
“Just an issue that’s dealt with.”
“Is this about Electra? He told me he was going to marry her because he was her baby’s father.”
Luca arches a brow, but his smile is amused. “He told you that, did he?”
“Yes. I think he likes me.”
Luca laughs. “Everyone likes you, Mio Angelo. As far as Bruno, it turns out he isn’t the father.”
“Rocco is?”
Luca nods.
