Page 28 of Bound to His Oath

"We have our own personal suite of rooms as well." Luca frowned. "It's more like a three bedroom condo than a suite, though."

"How so?" I asked.

"Well, there's the master bedroom, of course, but there's also a sitting room, an office, and a guest bedroom. There's even a small kitchenette in case we get hungry and don't want to go downstairs to the main kitchen."

That sounded amazing, and a little overwhelming.

Luca must have seen the panic in my face because he gave me a quick hug and then opened the car door and scooted out. "Come on, cuore mio. Let's go in so I can show you that there is nothing to be afraid of."

I took Luca's hand because why wouldn't I? No matter the situation, I knew he'd make sure I was safe. I trusted him with my heart so it made sense that I'd trust him with my safety as well.

Once I was out of the car, I grabbed Luca's arm, wrapping my hands around it. It was the biggest lifeline I had right now.

It was also very muscular.

Really, really muscular.

Damn.

Luca's low chuckle drew my attention. "What?" I asked.

"Your face."

"What's wrong with my face?"

Did I have something on my face?

"Nothing, love." There was still amusement in his voice. "Come on."

I held tight to Luca's arm as we walked up the wide stone steps to the massive double oak doors of the villa. The door was opened before we reached it so I assumed people were watching for us.

"Welcome home, Mr. Sabatino," the man holding the door said. He was dressed the same as the bodyguards were, but a bit older than any of them.

"Thank you, Alberto." He gestured toward me. "This is my husband, Nicolas."

The older man's shoes clicked together and he gave me a rather deep bow. "Welcome home, Mr. Sabatino. We are glad to have you."

"Nico, please," I corrected.

"Mr. Nico then."

Yeah, that was going to be fun.

"Can you ask Sofia to make us a light lunch?" Luca asked. "Give us about an hour. I want to show Nico to our suite and then I have to meet with Grandfather."

"Of course, sir."

"Come on, love. Time to face the firing squad."

I glared at him. "Not funny, Luca."

Luca chuckled and leaned his face down close to me. "It was a little funny."

Okay, maybe, but I wasn't going to let him know that.

I raised an eyebrow.

The amusement instantly fell off his face.
