I nod and hug him back. “You weren’t saying anything I didn’t need to hear.”
Enzo raises an eyebrow at me. “What did he say?”
Dominic slaps Enzo on the back. “It’s what she needed to hear, not you, cousin. You two came right on time. I’m starving.”
The next few hours pass so quickly I can’t believe it when I yawn, then see it’s almost ten o’clock. Enzo nods. “Yeah, it’s time to get you home.”
We say our goodbyes. Dominic whispers in my ear, “I am sincerely happy you will soon be my cousin. Have no doubt about that.”
I thank him with a kiss on the cheek.
Enzo’s hand goes around my arm, then pulls me tight against him. Dominic laughs. “Cousin, you are too funny.”
“It’s not funny,” Enzo growls.
Pushing up against Enzo, I insist, “Yes, it is. Come on, take me home.”
Once we’re out on the street, Everett opens the car door for me. “Has Everett been waiting this whole time?”
Chuckling, Enzo shakes his head. “Only you have ever asked that question. He took your car home, grabbed his own dinner and he’s only been waiting a half hour or so.”
“Thank you for getting my car home, I wasn’t even thinking of it”
“No problem.”
When we pull up to my place, I’m out of the car before Everett can open my door. Enzo follows me up the stairs. “Pack enough clothes for a few days, we can come and get your stuff later.”
“What?” I whisper as I realize Russell is in bed already. I pull Enzo with me into my room and close the door.
“You’re coming home with me.” He glances around the room. “Where are the carriers for Pepe and Cetta? I’ll get them while you pack.”
“I—we.” I’m flabbergasted. “You’re staying with Bethany and Dante.”
“In Che’s old condo on the other side. They knocked the wall down but it’s still a separate space complete with front door.” His hands go down on my hips, pulling me up against his hard, hot body. Like flipping a switch, I instantly melt into him. “We were rudely interrupted this morning. I want you in my bed tonight and every night. I can’t take another night of jacking off to the memory of the taste of you.”
Lord, he’s making me tingle there at his words. “You’re so dirty.”
“Angel, you haven’t heard anything yet. I’ve been planning what I’m going to do you since the first damn night I met you. I have so many much, much dirtier things in store for you.”
“Tell me more.” I moan into his mouth. Savage, hungry, I fall headlong into his kiss. Enough isn’t enough, I want more, need more.
Enzo’s head comes up, and I can’t swallow my moan of need. “No, angel, you only have a queen bed. I don’t fit in them, they’re too small. And by the time I’m done, we’re both going to be too exhausted to do anything but go comatose.”
“Promises.” I groan as he gently pushes me toward my closet.
“A Sabatini keeps his promise. Pack, where are the carriers?”
“In the laundry room, their carriers and litter box are in there.”
“Fuck, I forgot about litter boxes. Will they be okay here tonight?”
“Yes, they’ll be fine. Russell feeds them in the morning so they don’t claw me awake. I’ll come by and get them after work.” I grab a change of clothes and underwear and toss it into a carryall. In less than five minutes I have everything I need and we’re back downstairs in the car.
Enzo has been working his cell phone since we got into the car. I’m wondering what’s so important as we make it into the elevators with him barely looking up. He mutters, “Asshole.”
“What?”
“Dante being a dick as usual. He thinks he’s so damn funny.”
