Rome

I gave her another two weeks. In that time, I knew that Ivan had been training her. I knew she still went to see Dante at the gym, even when I’d forbade her to. She wanted a damn punishment, I swear. I also knew she met with Cade and Bastian. They even invited me to sit in on their meetings.

I didn’t. That woman was about as malleable as a rock. She wouldn’t give in to my request for her address at all.

She hadn’t reached out again by texting or calling. I tried to give her time. I even got to the point where I hoped she’d send a message via Cade, Bastian, or Dante.

That shit hurt my pride. It enraged me. Why the hell was I the one she had to avoid when she’d been in my bed, slept in my damn panic room, and wanted me most? I saw the look in her eyes even when I was putting a bullet in someone. That woman wanted me.

I could have hassled Cade for her address. I could have got it, but I was trying not to give in to the rage that normally consumed me. She had me and us all looking at ourselves in the mirror and questioning our own existence. We’d lived powerful lives based on what the mafia had given us. It was easy to take, to enforce, to get what we wanted. I wanted her to come willingly.

That was one of the hardest things to admit to myself over the past few weeks.

We needed to change.

It started with me asking for something. At least I’d given her a head’s up this time. That was more than we normally did.

I was the enforcer of the family. She had to know that, from me, she only got change to a certain point.

If she didn’t want me to show up in the dead of the night, she should have given me the damn address.

Instead, I was sitting on the loveseat in her new penthouse suite, the coils of tension that had been wrapped around every muscle in my body finally relaxing at being near her. We belonged together in the shadows and darkness. It was where we thrived.

I breathed in deep and watched her chest rise like we were in sync. She’d kept her hair bone-straight over the past couple weeks and as black as ink. She appeared lethal despite how small she was.

I left without waking her and walked down a flight of stairs to the apartment I’d bought out from another resident. Ivan’s team wasn’t doing enough to protect her. The fact that this was even doable showed that.

They had men outside the building and thought their checks inside the building were enough. Not now that I lived there. Not now that I could sneak in and out after each of their checks.

I broke into her penthouse the next night and the night after. No man at her door made it that easy.

I’d been about to leave when a whimper escaped her lips.
