“Master Blackthorne, I don’t know if you’re a genius, or if you’ve absolutely lost your mind.” Rand sits beside me, rubbing his forehead. “I’ve never felt the urge to throw up in a meeting in my whole life, until today.”

I snort a laugh, but as I stare out the window, my thoughts aren’t dwelling on the Scarpinatos. They’re wrapped around a nineteen-year-old, whose toned thighs have somehow squeezed every other thought out of my mind.

“I don’t even think your father, as bold as he could be, had the gumption to confess to killing a Scarpinato. He wouldn’t even think of it.”

My father allowed himself to amass what I call enemy debt. Too many favors that amount to too many potential enemies. “He was never much of a risk-taker.”

“You certainly have a more reckless approach to negotiations, but I admire your audacity.”

“Had I not confessed to killing Franco, they’d have come sniffing around eventually. You saw the accusation written all over their faces, when we first sat down. I could practically smell it on Stefano.”

“Pretty sure that was spaghetti sauce, boss.” Makaio chuckles from the front seat, and I can’t help but share his amusement. After all, it’s not every day a man gets to press the mafia’s buttons.

“Anyway, they now know I’m a man with nothing to hide.”

“Well, it’s certainly nice to know that I won’t have to sleep with a gun beneath my pillow.”

“Wait. You don’t usually sleep with a gun beneath your pillow?” Makaio frowns back at us from the rearview mirror. “Who doesn’t sleep with a gun beneath their pillow? I do. Do you, boss?”

“Always.”

Rand sneers and turns his gaze back toward the passenger window. “Well, I doubt either of you sleep wearing an undergarment for incontinence, so there’s that.”
