Chapter 17

Enzo

Glancing at the clock, I watch the minutes tick by as the red numbers tell me it's almost three in the morning. Darkness grips the apartment in its hold, as I paw through the paperwork Romano had in his office. Mario and I emptied out what we thought was important. Now, I have to wade through information before this evening's festivities.

I've been in two minds, wanting to take Luna with me, to show her what my life entails since she's so adamant to be a part of it. But I also want to show her who I really am. She's only seen me at home, and I know being cooped up in this apartment may be making her crazy.

I push to my feet and stretch. My back clicking in all the right places before I sigh and make my way to the living room where I pour a drink and settle at the large grand piano I bought when I moved into this place. It was perfect for this corner of the room with a view of the sparkling city below.

Setting the glass on the stool beside me, I allow my fingers to stroke the keys gently. My mind drifts to Luna in her bedroom, how she would sound if I were to touch her just like this. The smooth skin under my fingertips flourishing with goose bumps and a soft shade of pink. It always happens when I'm near her.

Earlier when I admitted to wanting her, to keeping her as mine, I noticed how her pupils flared. Mario is convinced the girl is falling for me, but I'm so much older than her. I'm a monster compared to her angelic beauty.

Even though she has grown up as a mafia princess, she still comes across as almost innocent. I close my eyes and play. The gentle notes of a contemporary song by Zolita filters through the room. 'Holy' with only the piano certainly sounds different as I go through the lyrics in my mind, while my vision is filled with Luna dancing in the studio.

How I wish she would dance for me.

I breathe deeply, and the scent of apples fills my senses. A small smile twinges on my lips. But I don't acknowledge her yet. Instead, I keep playing until the song hits it's crescendo and I'm lost in the melody.

The moment I hit the last key, silence rings in my ears, and I feel Luna padding closer, until she's inches from me. The heat of her body cocoons my back, but she doesn't touch me. Deep down, I want her to reach out to me. I have found myself focused on hating her, on being angry with her, but right now, all I want is for her to look at me as if I were a good man.

Like she looks at me when I touch her.

"You play beautifully," she remarks from behind me, her voice a whisper as if she's afraid she'll anger me. I don't respond, instead, I reach for my glass and tip it back until I've swallowed every drop.
