CHAPTER 19

Vasile

My father sat across from me in the pair of leather chairs that flanked the fire. He leaned forward, grabbed the poker from its hook on the hearth, and jabbed one of the logs. It broke in half and sent showers of sparks up the chimney.

I looked at my father and thought about how exactly to put this. But I’d never been one to mince words. And this was no fucking time to start.

“I wanted Valeria. So I took her for myself.”

He furrowed his massive salt-and-pepper eyebrows and blinked a few times. His cheeks were flushed with the vodka shots. Or, shit, he might actually be blushing. A lot of crime bosses were womanizers, but my father most definitely wasn’t one of them.

“Just to be clear. When you say took…” he said, trailing off.

I glanced at him briefly, then stared into the fire. Took her hard, took her long, took her deep. Took her because I needed her, wanted her, had to fucking have her.

“When I say took, I mean took,” I said.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my father clearly trying to suppress a smile. Trying and failing. Failing badly. But he wasn’t being creepy about it. He seemed genuinely tickled by the situation.

He folded his hands over his stomach. “And her…” my father trailed off, searching for the word. I knew what he was looking for—virginity, chastity, purity. Some nonsense like that. I couldn’t imagine him saying any of them, and he didn’t, because finally he asked: “Is she like she was when last I saw her?”

I turned my eyes to him and shook my head. “Definitely not.”

“And,” my father inhaled thoughtfully. “Are you?”

Fuck no, I wasn’t the same. I’d been away from her for all of four hours and I was fucking aching to see her again. Last night, everything had changed.

Completely. Forever.

“Definitely, definitely not the same as I was. I’ll never be the same again,” I said.

He spun his crystal glass of vodka slowly in his hand, serious again now, the smile replaced with a frown.

“I can’t honestly say I blame you. She reminded me very much of your mother when I first met her. All full of fire, but with the kindest heart. Not to mention beautiful.” He held his glass up, then took a sip.

To hell with beautiful. She was heaven-sent. A goddess on earth. “Tell me about it.”

“But you’ve gotten us in the shit now, son. Your brother is going to be furious. I should be furious. Truth is, I am furious, despite it all. You’ve interfered with my plans. Our family’s plans. I had plans for that girl. Things that are in motion. Do you know what having a royal title does for this family? It raises us. It brings us new clients and new opportunities. Had you come to me and told me what you were going to do, perhaps we could have made a compromise of some kind with your brother so he could save face,
