“Yes, you’ve made your point clear,” I reply.

“Good.” He kisses me, then lifts off and pulls out of me.

“Where are you going?” I cry, desperate to have him stay.

“I’m going to find some cream to rub on your ass.”

“Oh.” I can’t help the smile on my lips.

“Yeah, oh.”

“Grumpy Enzo rears his head again,” I sing-song.

“For the record,” he says as he wanders out of my room, butt naked. I take in the glorious sight of his ass. “I’m still mad at you.”

“Good!” I yell back. “You better get back here pronto and do all that again.”

I hear his laughter from inside my bathroom, and it is such a wonderful sound.

I realize I like that better than making him mad, not that I intended to do that on purpose.

I really do not want to find Toby on the news headlines while I eat breakfast tomorrow morning.

I’m falling hard. So very hard, and there is nothing in the world I can do to stop it.

ENZO

I feel welland truly satisfied after our bedroom antics.

She’s so fucking hot; it seems impossible to stay mad at her very long. I love what we do together, and although I have never liked the thought of being with a woman sexually in anger, I had well and truly simmered by the time she had my cock in her mouth. I never want to take her in full blown anger, that just isn’t my style. I enjoy pleasing her too much.

Yet, I put aside the text I got just before I went in the house. That I can deal with.

What I won’t do, is leave Valentina alone, not for a second. Whether it’s me and several soldiers or fucking Rocco and Santino, she can’t be left by herself.

A ransom for one million dollars?

I never thought I would see the day when something like this would ever happen, especially to me. Worst of all, I have no fucking clue who it’s from, and Toby was a dead end. Even breaking his nose isn’t soothing any of my anger and annoyance.

I have to tell Angelo.

And, I prepare Valentina before I leave that I have to come clean sooner or later about us. I can’t keep doing this; I need to be able to see her free and clear and not be sneaking around behind people’s backs, namely Angelo’s. It doesn’t feel right to me, and it hasn’t from the very start.

But now there is serious shit involved, and I don’t know how much longer we can keep hiding this.

I call Dom and get him and Rocco to station themselves at Valentina’s and her Ma’s place. I don’t tell them why, only that Angelo will call soon with the details. Valentina knows none of this.

When I leave her place, I call Angelo from the car.

“Where are you?” I ask him.

“Just left the hospital. I’m going over to Fortress. Why, what’s going on?”

“We need to talk,” I say, feeling stressed, “I have a situation.”

“A situation?”
