I miss her already. Our long talks at night, the scent of her lying next to me. I’m not ready to let any of that go, but I know it’s time. We have to prepare.

“I’ll fly you in once a month, but yes, for now, you’re going back.”

She rounds the counter and climbs into my lap. I place my forehead to hers. Absentmindedly, Jace places a hand on her back. She relaxes and buries her face into my neck.

I remind myself this is why I’m doing all of this. The freedom to be us and to have her in my life. I don’t care what people think. I’d give my life for these two and I know they’d do the same.

“I’m going to miss you.”

I kiss her forehead. “This time, I will at least call.”

“You better or I’m coming back here to burn all your shit down.”

I laugh as I grab her face and kiss her hard. “Just remember not to play with me. No dates or bullshit to get someone killed.”

“I have all I want. I don’t need more than you and Jace. Besides, Jace is coming to the States after this thing in Japan, right?”

I growl and she laughs. Yes, Jace will be with her for a while. I’ve been in my feelings because I can’t be. I’m still working out my plan to head back home. I’m not living under Frances’s roof, that’s for fucking sure.

However, all my moves need to look as if I’m none the wiser. I need to establish employment outside of our thing and get a place of my own. It’s all in the works.

I glance at my computer, decision made. My next move is important. I need Romano to secure several of my next steps.

“I want the Russian girl. After he collects her, he’ll be with you.”

Ny leans into my ear. “I love you. I’ll be waiting for you.”

I leave in the morning when Jace does. Nonno’s putting me on his jet. Jace is flying out on Gio’s plane. I have this deep ache in my heart. I’m going to miss them both, but I have this sinking feeling when it comes to Gio.

I don’t think I’m going to find the same man when I see him again. There have already been subtle changes. He’s taken on more responsibility with Nonno and it’s taking its toll.

I want him to know he always has a safe place in me. I’m not even angry with him for the rough, angry sex he has with me. I like it. Gio pours all his passion into it.

I understand him enough to know he’s expressing himself. I think he knows I don’t love him any less, but I want to make sure of that before I leave.

He’s been in a mood for hours. I came into our room to shower before dressing up in the black fishnet outfit I purchased as a part of my going away gift. I knew my time was coming.

I smile down at the mile-high gold heels on my feet. Gio loves when I wear heels. My mind goes to the last time we all dressed up to go out. We came back from the club and Gio spent the night with my legs around his head and waist, eating and fucking me like only he can.

When I open the bathroom door, he’s already in the bedroom sitting in the accent chair with his head thrown back as he stares up at the ceiling. He lifts his head and narrows his eyes at me as he looks me up and down. I saunter over to him and stand with my legs spread wide.

“I want to show you how much I’m going to miss you.”

He gives me a crooked smile that lights up his hazel eyes. Leaning forward, he reaches to grab my ass and pull me into him. Then he presses the side of his face against my stomach.

“Sometimes, I wish I could fast forward to when this is all done.”

“I know what you mean. Let me ease your mind for a bit.”

He turns to kiss my stomach. Then looks up into my eyes. I bite my lip and reach to pull my hair up in a tie. He smiles and sits back in the chair. I wink at him and drop to my knees.

My stomach clenches. I’m a bit nervous. This is my first time giving head.

I place my hands on his thighs. “Wait,” he says with a frown.
