“Thanks?” I said then narrowed my eyes. “Or did you insult me? I’m really not sure.”
“It wasn’t an insult.” “A compliment?” “A fact.”
“Do you consider yourself so different from them?”
“No, which is why I wonder why you aren’t scared of me, especially when you have trouble with people in general.”
“I’m not scared of people, they only make me anxious. And I’m not scared of you because…”
…because I just know deep down that I don’t ha...

How could so much loveliness be related to Nevio fucking Falcone?
This was Greta Falcone. Twin of the guy I’d one day kill. Daughter of the man I’d probably have to kill right after.
She was off limits.
She was eighteen and I was only four and a ha...

“The atmosphere got a bit tense so I decided to catch some fresh air.”
“Nevio likes fighting.”
“Depends. I used to go to dance clubs a lot when I was younger, now not quite so much, but I suppose you wouldn’t call that dancing.”
Mostly I was out with Maximus looking for easy pussy. That was definitely not something I’d mention to Greta.
“Why would I say that? Me dancing ballet doesn’t mean I appreciate other dance styles less. If dancing in clubs is your passion, then that’s as valid as my form of dancing.”
Yet, at the same time I loathed the idea of her dancing for anyone but me.
I was engaged. I had no business wanting Greta to dance for me. I couldn’t have her.
But Greta wasn’t a girl who deserved to be an affair. She was a woman who deserved to be someone’s number one, their one and only queen.
I briefly wondered if Nevio had actually managed to ram his knife into my body and I was caught in a strange limbo between life and death.
“I’m not wearing anything beneath.”
I parted my shirt, revealing my bare chest beneath. Her eyes roamed over my pecs and abs, leaving a hot trail on my skin with her gaze alone.
“Thank you. Your shirt smells good.”
let her eyes roam my body once more, lingering on the Famiglia tattoo over my heart.
“Is that your only tattoo?”
“It is and will al...

“They look pretty.” That was the oddest thing anyone had ever said about my scars and a low chuckle burst out of me.
“That’s Maximus’ special talent, creating pretty scars.”
“He was your friend.” “He is my friend,” I corrected. “He’s still your friend?”
“He is, he has similar scars from me, not as pretty of course,”
“We tortured each other to make us stronger. He’s going to be Enforcer under his father.”
“Oh. He’s my cousin.”
I always forgot that Maximus was related to the Falcones, that his father w...

“You handle my closeness better than I thought after you ran off screaming when you saw me.”
Her expression was strained as if she was trying to solve a difficult equation, then she put down her chin on her knee again and drew in another deep breath of my shirt.
“I don’t know what it’s about you, but…” She gave a small shrug and didn’...

“My dog. He’s terrified of everything and you are a very terrifying sight for a small dog.” She paused, “...

“I’m sure he’s run to someone from your family.”
“He’s terrified of almost all of them.” Clever dog.
“Maybe he went to Kiara but she’s in the library in her wing, so I doub...

“You’re lucky Bear wasn’t there with me in the studio. He would have attacked you. He’s a Cane Corso.”
If he’s 120pounds top. I have a hundred pounds on him.” “He’s all muscle.” “Me too.”
Considering her crazy twin and the rest of the crazy Falcone bunch, you needed balls the size of Nevada to ask for Greta’s hand.
“What about you? Are you promised?”
“No,” I said without thinking about it. Why was I lying? News about my engagement had certainly made the rounds in Vegas as well, and if I wasn’t mistaken the whole Falcone clan was invited to the wedding.
On the other hand, she seemed like a girl who lived in a...

Her eyes settled on my face. “I never thought about kissing someone. But I think with you I could imagine having my first kiss one day.”

“I assume you have a reasonable explanation for this,”
