I realized he’d been making a point, and a laugh bubbled out of me.“Okay, fine.Maybe I just like the bossy, controlling Garrett during sex.”

Garrett brushed my hair back over my shoulder, and his gaze fell to the last bite mark he’d left on me.“I might need to save my gifts for when I’m buried deep in that hot little cunt.”

I shivered.“That would be unfair.”

“Hmm,” he replied as his eyes lifted to meet mine.“A Mafia boss rarely plays fair.Especially when he wants something.”

I leaned into him and pressed a kiss against the veins in his neck.“What is it that you want?”I asked, trailing kisses against his warm, sun-kissed skin.

“Other than you?”His voice was husky.

I was affecting him.I loved that.

“Yes,” I probed.

He moved his hand from my waist to cup my butt.“I want you to go to Paris with me.Tomorrow.Spend the week.”

I stilled.Paris?He wanted to take me to Paris?

My eyes shot up to look at his.“You said it was a tourist trap.”

He shrugged.“You said it was the number one thing on your bucket list.”

I let out a small, disbelieving laugh and studied his face.He was serious.Did he think I was expecting a trip like that?I wasn’t.

“You don’t have to take me places,” I told him.“I love you.I just want you.”

His pupils dilated, and his gaze darkened.“That’s gonna get you bent over the closest piece of furniture and fucked.”

“That’s not a threat,” I pointed out.

A smile touched his lips.“It’s not meant as one.I’m just not used to a woman who doesn’t take what I give and demand more.”

When he said things like that, it broke my heart.I hated every woman who had taken advantage of him in the past.I’d never allow it again.I wasn’t leaving his side.

“Get used to it.I’m not going to be easy to get rid of.”

He reached up and grabbed my face, cupping it with both hands as he looked down at me.“Please, Fawn.Please let me take you to Paris.For me.I’m a selfish bastard, and I want to see your face the first time you see that damn tower and taste your first Parisian macaron.I want to be the one to walk you through the Louvre and show you theMona Lisa.I want to take you shopping and dress you in the finest fabrics.Let me have this,” he begged.

My chest felt as if it would explode.My eyes watered, and I took a deep breath.“When you say it like that, it is impossible to tell you no,” I admitted.

His eyes bored into mine.“You’ll go with me then?”

I nodded, unable not to smile at the hopeful, boyish gleam in his eyes.“I need to talk to Gypsi first.”

“She can stay here.Enjoy the pool.Saxon can take her horseback riding.She’ll be safe and entertained.I’ll make sure Trev doesn’t have any of his wild parties.It will give her a chance to see that living here isn’t so bad.”

I knew he thought that was an easy fix, but there was a lot he was going to learn about my daughter.The only thing that I thought might convince her was that it was Paris and she knew how much I had always dreamed of going there.

“I’ll talk to her.”

He beamed at me before his mouth covered mine.

Thirty-Six

Fawn

The Louvre had been amazing.Everything since the moment we had stepped off the plane was like a fairy tale.We had immediately gotten into the limo that was waiting.Inside, there was expensive champagne in a fancy gold bucket with ice and a tiered tray of pastries that looked like tiny pies, elaborate cookies, and tarts.
