Chapter Thirty-Three

GIA

"Are we ready? What are you..." my voice died in my throat when I saw what Alessandro was holding. "Oh."

"You got all your stuff, right? You wiped down every surface? No fingerprints?" His words were clipped. There was no pretense of kindness now, no tenderness or affection. Understandable, though.

I nodded. My heart was pounding so fast, sending so much blood rushing to my ears, that I thought I might faint.

"Okay. Let's do this." He handed me a giant bottle of lighter fluid, the kind you normally use on a bar-b-cue grill.

"Yeah. Right. Lets. Do this." I gulped a breath and walked into the kitchen. He stalked into the bedroom.

I flipped open the top of the bottle and just like we'd discussed an hour ago — after we'd had sex in the shower but before we'd packed our stuff and put it in the boat — I squirted the liquid on all wooden surfaces. He'd told me to spray in long, zigzag motions, so when the place caught fire, the flames would spread fast.

It didn't take me long to empty the bottle, and I reached for the next, spraying the sofa, the chair, the wooden coffee table. We'd fucked on every piece of furniture in here, I realized, and soon it would turn to ashes. Fitting.

Alessandro rushed into the room just as I was squirting the last of the second bottle. I handed it to him and he shoved it into a plastic bag.

"Go outside," he commanded.

I obeyed, walking out the door and standing about ten feet from the house as we'd agreed. I stuffed my bare feet into my pink flip flops. A pair of Alessandro's shoes, those blue and white striped Adidas sandals that men often wore, sat on the cement paver, and I nudged them with my toe. Craning my neck, I watched his muscular form walk into the kitchen, turn a knob on the stove, and open the oven door.

Less than a minute later, he burst out the door. He was barefoot and holding two plastic bags. "Go," he shouted, pointing at the dock while shoving his feet into the sandals.

We ran at top speed to the boat and jumped in. He fired it up and we roared off into the darkness. I twisted in my seat to look at the island, which grew small in the distance. To the naked eye, it appeared that we'd left a light on in the bungalow. I knew differently.

I glanced to Alessandro, who was standing in the cockpit of the boat, his eyes steely, focused on the path ahead, looking like a commander of an army. Possibly more beautiful than I'd ever seen him look, more than when he fucked me or more than when he held me.

He'd rolled up the sleeves on his white linen shirt, and I swear to God, I'd never seen a more incredible sight.

I should've been smarting from guilt and shame. I'd taken another human's life, and that act was wrapped up in how I felt about Alessandro.
