“You have, but if we can beat the Conti brothers and foil their big play there’s no telling what we can accomplish together,” I grin. “Now, kiss me.”

I longed for his lips. It doesn’t matter where I am, I want him with me. He’s the first man I can trust to have my back and he’s had the trial of fire so I feel confident that there isn’t anything we can’t overcome together, and it feels nice.

It’s a feeling I have to get used to. Love. How complicated we make it and how simple it can be.

But I know we won’t have an easy go of it. There is so much to sorted out but for now, I return his kiss as it deepens and his hand slides under the sheet.

I’m naked and his hands find their way between my legs and my pussy is wet with anticipation.

“Who’s here?” I mumble.

“No one close enough to hear you screaming with pleasure, but the place is guarded. Heavily.”

He slips out of his pants and shirt, sharing the single bed with me which makes it hotter and more challenging due to his size, and my inability to move.

He slides over me, dropping kissing down my body as he flings the sheet to the floor.

I grab his hard cock with my one good hand for the moment and guide him into me. I want to possess me.

“You are mine Francesca, never forget that.”

“You are mine.”

“I am,” and he enters me making me gasp at how he fills me completely and we find a rhythm that doesn’t jar my shoulder as we climax together.

Dawn comesin through the tiny window and I hear dogs barking. The door opens and breakfast is on a tray, left by a woman in a maid’s uniform who leaves as quietly as she came.

Sal stirs, I’m laying on his shoulder and arm that by the groans he’s making, have fallen asleep under my weight on the for the night.

I have no idea how long I’ve been here, but I do know it’s daytime and I have to get to the compound and figure out what’s up with the situation.

“Who is at the compound?”

“We left Angelo there with an ironclad provision signed, that he’s temporary acting on your behalf to keep the family together. We figured you needed a few days and he’s the best man for the job. We couldn’t be caught there.”

“No, of course not.”

“And Sofia?”

“She’s with my family, I’m sure Juliet is taking good care of her. She can’t be around to be questioned and we don’t know if Guido is one of the dead or injured.”

“Good call.”

Idrive Francesca back to her compound and turn on the TV in her old room, which we’ve been sharing. A news flash comes on and it’s an update on the missing Conti brothers.

“Breaking news. The Conti brothers, Mario and Fausto, known racketeers of the mafia, have been found dead after what appears to be a local war. This is just coming in, but Mario was found shot execution style and was in the river not far from the compound. Fausto was found strangled in his sports car. There are no witness at this time.”

“Wow.” I expect Francesca to be in shock and am surprised she’s taking it so well.

I turn to her as she stands to dress herself. She’s so stubborn insisting on doing more than what the doctor recommended.

I help her put a blouse on her stiff shoulder that needs to be immobile and take the opportunity to drop a kiss on her lips.

“No trace of us at the compound?” she asks.
