Chapter Twelve

ANGELIQUE

Is It Necessary?

After my bath, I stood in the doorway that connected the master bathroom to Gianni’s bedroom. He tugged his shirt over his shoulders and down his taut back, concealing his beautiful tattoos. They weren’t the only things he had hidden. As he adjusted his shirt, I spied a gun tucked in the waistband of his pants.

I didn’t know why the presence of his gun surprised me. It wasn’t as if I didn’t know who he was. Maybe it was because I didn’t see him as a mob enforcer. Or I didn’t want to believe that was what he really did.

“Hey.” He turned and smiled at me. “Did you have a good bath?”

“It was lonely.” I sat on the edge of the bed.

“Sorry.” He took a seat next to me. “I’ll make sure that never happens again.”

“Are you going out?”

“I have to take care of something for my dad but I shouldn’t be long.”

“Do you always carry a gun?”

“Only when it’s necessary.” He caressed my cheek, gazing down at my new, cranberry-colored sweater “I like this on you. Kendal didn’t disappoint with her selections.”

“Is it necessary today?” I couldn’t focus on anything other than the gun.

“Angel, there’s nothing for you to worry about.” He glanced at his watch. “My mother is making pizza with all sorts of delicious toppings. The Buffalo chicken is my favorite. Dominick likes the peppers and onions, and Santino favors the cheesesteak one. All of my brothers and Nadia are coming for dinner tonight. Maybe some board games will make an appearance. Do you want to go?”

“Pizza and board games?” I couldn’t help but laugh because it all seemed normal. Even though my new boyfriend was running an errand for his mob boss father while carrying a concealed weapon, the Marchellis appeared to be the perfect family.

“Yeah, my mother makes the best homemade pizza. I thought you could help her while I’m out. If you wanted. Mama Stella would love it if you came back.” He kissed my lips so tenderly I almost didn’t feel it. “I could drop you at the main house on my way out.”

“Do you have to go out?”

“I do.”

“Is there anything I can do to persuade you to stay?” I touched his thigh as I licked my lips. “I might be ready for more.”

“Hmm...” He tangled his fingers in my hair, bringing my face close to his as he bit his lip. “I’ll keep that in mind for later.”

“How about now?” I stole a kiss as I slithered my hand to his belt. “We could stay in bed all afternoon.”

“Your persistence is sexy but I have to go.” He brushed his mouth along my jaw. “I won’t be long.”

“Gianni?” I pouted.

“We have all night.” He gripped my hand. “I promise.”

“If I asked you where you were going, would you tell me?” I couldn’t let it go because I knew he couldn’t tell me. Wouldn’t tell me. That bothered me more than I thought it would.

“If I told you I
