Fuck.
I pulled her in closer to me and kissed her.
She made a small sound in protest and tried to wiggle away.
I kissed her harder.
And harder.
Until she yielded to me, softening against me and kissing me back.
“Massimo,” she breathed out against my skin when I pulled back. I cupped her tit and played with it roughly.
“I’m fucking angry at you,” I said.
She frowned. “Why?”
“Why? You left the house with no one to protect you but Luigi, a man pushing his fifties and who has no muscle mass, so to speak.”
“Luigi is…”
I shook my head. “Not capable of that. Anything could have happened to you. And then what the fuck am I supposed to do?”
Just the thought of her being anything but whole and safe and with me was unacceptable.
I nearly shook her, wanting to get her to see just how dangerous, how stupid it had been for her to agree to meet Lina.
“I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.”
“You’re fucking right. It won’t happen again. And you know why?”
Her breath caught when she saw the dark look in my eyes. “Why?”
I leaned down until my lips touched her ear. “I’m going to punish you for it.”
“Punish me?” she asked.
I smiled, showing her my teeth.
“Luna?” Lina’s voice called out, interrupting the little bubble we managed to find ourselves in. “I’m hungry.”
I let out a small groan over the interruption.
It wouldn’t be long before she found us here.
“Tonight,” I promised. Hesitating. I knew I was going to regret this later. “The girl can stay.”
The smile she shot at mealmostmade the headache worth it.
“Thank you, Massimo.”
I cupped her cheek and took in her gray eyes. Would there ever be a time when I could deny her anything? I didn’t fucking think so. What a scary thought that was.
“Are you going to eat with us? I ordered some takeout. All it needs is some reheating.”
I shook my head. “I still have a lot to do.” I leaned down and kissed her cheek, hating the disappointment in her eyes but knowing I wouldn’t be able to stand eating an entire meal with the other girl. “I’ll see you tonight.”
She shot me a smile that made me feel I could take on ten thousand men. “Tonight.”
