Chapter Twenty

Massimo

Two fucking days…

That’s how long we’ve stayed in bed. Two days.

It’s dawn on Tuesday morning. Tonight is the ceremonial dinner where Pa will give me his ring. It will be a true symbol of his retirement as leader of the D’Agostino family.

In attendance will be my brothers, my two uncles and their wives, who flew in from Italy, and my three cousins, two of which have wives.

It’s a big deal. I’m supposed to take Emelia to this dinner as a symbol of our family conquering the devil. She’s supposed to be the trophy, a prize.

Right now, as I sit on the window bay of the room I’ve given her, watching her sleep, she looks like the woman who’s filled my every waking thought for the last two days.

Scratch that. Since the night of the charity ball. Starting that night when she floated in on her father’s arm and I knew I had to have her.

Here I am with her, sitting here, doing something I haven’t done in years, and not unless I had to.

I woke before the sun rose and sat here smoking. Watching her yet again. I seem to do that a lot lately. Watch, ponder, assess. All attempts to figure out what I’m going to do next.

Looking at her balances me. She’s so peaceful in her sleep and in this room we’ve been trapped in a fantasy. Her and me. The two of us lost in the throes of passion, where nothing exists besides the attraction and chemistry that draw us to each other.

I forget the past when I’m with her. I don’t know if that’s a good or a bad thing, since my rage toward her father sates and I find myself just thinking of her.

The sun casts its radiant rays over my sleeping beauty, hitting her in all the right places. The sheet is at her waist, she looks like the goddess again with her breasts exposed, that gorgeous mane of hair sprawled out on the pillow, and the soft sunlight spilling over her body. Caressing it the way I want to.

Maybe I watch her because I want to capture it all before she wakes and we become the people we’re supposed to be. Enemies.

Even though my family and I have this massive vendetta against her father, she doesn’t have to be my enemy. I don’t want her to be.

Things are changing. We can’t stay in bed for another day. Out of duty I can’t stay in playing house with my doll because I can sense things happening on the streets, which doesn’t sit well with me. I should have called Tristan by now too, just to check in on him. I know he’s not doing too good, and it’s up to me to watch his back and make sure he’s not doing shit to find Vlad by himself.

As I watch my girl lying in the bed across from me, desire to keep her safe fills me.

My girl…

Could she be?

Having a wife out of convenience is different than being with someone you want to be with.
