I stretch and turn toward the empty spot at my side. I can still breathe in his scent. I wrap my arms around the down pillow, hugging it to me and letting the memories of the night and the delicious tenderness between my thighs fill my thoughts.

I should be scared, should be running back to Italy, getting my passport changed again and counting my lucky stars that they’ve kept me alive this long.

But I’m not scared, one little bit…

I’m not sure exactly what that says about me as a person. I know who Salvatore Larussio is, what he does. I’ve researched this family for longer than I want to admit. I know all about the rumors, all about the accusations and allegations. They may not have been proven, the charges may have been dropped, or a number of other things may have prevented them from being locked up, but they say that the truth is usually somewhere in the middle. And I have no preconceived ideas about that.

No, Salvatore Larussio is no saint. In fact, he’s probably the dark-eyed devil himself. But destiny is a funny thing. It has a way of pulling and drawing you toward what your life is supposed to be, and I have to believe that everything happens for a reason. The magnetic attraction to Salvatore is undeniable regardless of who he is.

Some may ridicule the attraction of being bedded by a bad man. I smile, knowing just how good that can be. I hug the pillow tighter, wishing it were as easy as just being with him. What if I find out which family member shot my father? What will I really do? I’ve waited forever to confront him. I can’t just give that up.

I swallow hard. Or can I, should I? Maybe dredging up the past is in no one’s best interest. But rage still pounds through my blood whenever I think about the life he left my mother and me.

Even all that rage couldn’t keep the shield up from Salvatore. I really should be ashamed of myself. I didn’t even play hard to get. I smile. No, I certainly did not. I wanted everything that he gave, and if he were here with me now, I’d want more and more. And instead of feeling scared of him, I feel protected in his arms.

A quick glance at the time. It’s only four a.m., but I still get up and shower before getting ready and going to check in on Great-Uncle. His vitals have improved, and when my clipboard hits the white marble counter, he shifts in bed. I turn, and his dark eyes are watching me.

“Well, good morning. How are you?” I ask.

He glares at me from bloodshot, tired eyes. “Why are you here?”

I adjust the drip on his IV. “I was in the reception hall when everything happened. I was trying to help one of your family members who got caught by one of the bullets. Salvatore brought me down to care for you and the rest of your family.
