17 NINA

We drive for a good twenty minutes before Giovanni pulls onto the side of the road and parks the car outside a tattoo shop. I thought he’d had enough of them—his arms are covered. They’re even inching up onto his neck.

The lights of the city shine into the car. The sign on the shop is flashing with busted batteries.

I push my palms down on my sweatpants, trying to dry them off. “What are we doing here?” I finally ask.

He falls back into the seat of the car, stretching out his long legs as his hand brushes over his sharp jawline. “Let’s make a deal.” His voice sounds demanding.

“No.” I laugh more than I intend to. “That’s not something that interests me when it comes from you, especially when we are parked outside a tattoo shop.”

“Just hear me out, Donnina.”

“Okay, I’m waiting.” My fingers tap on my legs aggressively as I grow impatient even though it’s only been a few seconds.

He rolls his eyes, letting out a sneer. “I want your father’s phone.”

My head falls back when I hear what he said. “Gio, just stop. Why do you want his freaking phone so badly?”

“I wasn’t done.”

“Oh. Please, continue.”

“I will let you tattoo anything you want on me, in exchange for his phone.”

My eyes fall from his, staring at a blank space on his neck. Ideas flood my mind, some of them making me laugh out loud.

“See? It’s tempting, no?”

I bite down on my bottom lip as I come up with more ideas. “It is.”

I still don’t understand what he wants from my papa’s phone. I haven’t had the chance to look through it myself yet, but now he has me wondering if my own father is involved in something that would make Gio want to step in.

His head tilts toward the door of the shop. “Ready?”

“I guess so.”

I push open my door and slam it shut fast. “Wait.” I freeze. “What makes you think I will uphold this deal?”

He stutters as he thinks about the chances I won’t go through with getting the phone.

“Like, who’s to say I don’t just go in, draw a tiny dick on your skin forever, and you can’t do anything about it?” I smile. This is interesting to me.

“I figure you’d know better.” He glares at me.

I mean, he’s right. I wouldn’t, but just the idea amuses me. He is trusting me with a lot right now.

“Okay, let’s do this then.”

He waves his hand at me as he walks around the car to open the door. He’s trying to be a gentleman so I won’t ink something embarrassing into his skin forever.

His hand reaches for mine, and I take it.

We walk into the shop full of intimidating men—but none as intimidating as Gio.

“Genovese, who is this fine lady?” a woman with bright red hair asks as she leans over the counter, pushing her breasts together.

Every woman looks at him like that. It kind of makes me sick to think about how many of them he has been with.
