CHAPTER NINETEEN

I guide Emelia out, right past our soldiers. When I tell them we’re heading to the airport, a few eyebrows raise. This is a first for them, because no one, not one woman, has ever stepped foot on the Larussio Gulfstream with me. They don’t question me, though, and that’s a good thing for me, because she certainly wouldn’t pass any of the requirements that our protocols demand. She not only wouldn’t get a level of security clearance, but if I tried to get her one, I’d be answering to Salvatore and my great-uncle for losing my mind. Maybe I have, but still. Emelia is coming with me.

There’s no way I can send her home when any day we may hit her home again. I’m not about to leave her with the soldiers no matter how much I trust the rest of them. Those reasons may all be valid, but right or wrong, the real reason is that Emelia belongs to me now, and I pity the man who tries to tell me otherwise, family or not.

We make our way to the airport, unaccustomed to having a female in our company. “Wait here,” I tell them as we get to the private area of the tarmac. One of my men jumps out of the front seat to open Emelia’s door for me, but I wave him back into the car and do it myself.

Her watchful jade eyes slide over my suit, and she gives me a large red-lipped smile, making it hard for me to keep my features flat. My hand falls naturally to the curve of her back, guiding her up the ramp until we get to the top, where our flight crew awaits. “Good evening, sir,” the captain says.

“Thanks for making the trip on such short notice, everyone.” We make our way into the main cabin of the custom designed jet, one of the newest of its kind. A luxury that makes a round trip to Italy a much more comfortable affair, especially now that Salvatore, Giovanni, and I are dealing with the family affairs and operations in both countries. “Make yourself at home,” I tell Emelia. “I’ll be right back. Linette will pour you a drink when she stops by.”

Her eyes narrow and then they roll dramatically. “And here I thought you were different, that you wouldn’t keep secrets, and that you would talk in front of me.”

I grin. “Perhaps, but I can’t do that if I’m making plans for you; can I, kitten?”

She smiles, and her cheeks tinge with a light pink that I’ve come to enjoy seeing on her delicate features. “Let’s hope it has something to do with telling your crew not to bother us until we get to Italy, that we’ll be too busy doing this mile high thing,” she says, batting her eyelashes at me to stress her point.

I walk down the ramp and back to the car and slide into the back seat across from the two soldiers that will make the trip with us before getting Matteo and Renzo on the line.
