"Stop."

The word hung between us like a blade.

But I couldn't stop. Not when she was looking at me like that. Not when her body was arching beneath mine, begging for what her mouth was trying to deny.

I grabbed her wrists, pinning them above her head.

"Don't worry," I whispered against her lips. "You won't regret this."

She trembled beneath me, her breath coming in short gasps. I could feel her pulse hammering against my thumb where I held her wrists.

"Alessandro, we can't—"

I silenced her with a kiss. Deep. Demanding. Claiming.

Her protests died in her throat as she melted into me. This was what I'd been craving for weeks. This surrender. This fire between us threatened to consume everything in its path.

She was mine. She'd always been mine.

Even when she was running from me, even when she was lying to me, even when she was hiding whatever secrets were eating her alive.

Mine.

I kissed her like I was drowning and she was air. Like I was starving and she was sustenance. Like I was

    Aria's bathroom was warm and steamy from the hot water. I tested the temperature with my elbow before lowering her into the tub. She splashed happily, her earlier fussiness forgotten. Water went everywhere, soaking my shirt, but I didn't care. This was peace. This was simple. This was real. "You like your bath, don't you, sweetheart?" She babbled something that sounded like agreement, slapping the water with her palms. I was reaching for her towel when Alessandro appeared in the doorway. "Need help?" "I've got it." "I know you do. But let me help anyway." He moved into the small space, his presence filling the room. I could smell his cologne, feel the warmth radiating from his skin. "Lift her," he said, holding out the towel. I scooped Aria from the tub, and he wrapped her in the soft pink towel, pulling her against his chest. "There's my clean girl," he murmured, pressing a kiss to her damp hair. We moved to her nursery, working in comfortable silence. He held her while

    The phone slipped from my trembling fingers. It hit the carpet with a soft thud, the screen lighting up with my handler's contact information. But I couldn't move. Couldn't breathe. Couldn't force myself to pick it up again. My hands shook as I stared at the device like it was a snake ready to strike. One call. That's all it would take. One call to destroy everything. "Mama?" Aria's sweet voice broke through the fog of panic clouding my mind. She crawled across the carpet toward me, her chubby hands reaching up. I scooped her into my arms, holding her tight against my chest. She smelled like baby lotion and innocence. Like everything pure in this twisted world. "I'm here, baby," I whispered, my voice cracking. "Mama's here." But for how long? How long before I had to choose between my mission and this little girl who'd stolen my heart? Aria babbled happily, her tiny fingers playing with my hair. She had no idea that the woman holding her was living a lie. That every day I

    The door was slightly ajar, and I could hear everything. "—The Morettis are getting too close," a voice I didn't recognize was saying. "They're asking questions. Digging into things that should stay buried." "Let them dig," Alessandro's voice, cold and dangerous. "They'll find nothing." "What about the girl?" My blood turned to ice. "What about her?" "She's a liability. She knows too much." "She knows nothing." "Are you sure about that?" There was a pause. A long, terrible pause. "I'm sure." But I could hear the doubt in his voice. The uncertainty. They were talking about me. "The De Luca business is expanding," another voice said. "We need to secure the eastern territories before anyone else makes a move." "Then we make our move first." Alessandro's words were like ice. "What about the competition?" "What about them?" I pressed my hand to my mouth, trying to process what I was hearing. They were talking about business. Dangerous business. The kin

    Pain shot through my body as I shifted in the massive bed. Everything ached. Every muscle. Every nerve. Every inch of skin that Alessandro had touched with his hands and mouth. The soreness was a reminder of what we'd done. What I'd let happen. What I'd wanted to happen. My heart hammered against my ribs as the memories flooded back. The way he'd looked at me by the pool. The way he'd kissed me was like he was drowning. The way he'd made me feel things I'd never felt before. The way he'd claimed me. Body and soul. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the images. But they were burned into my memory. The way his hands had felt on my skin. The way he'd whispered my name like a prayer. The way he'd made me forget everything except him. Everything except us. Alessandro's arm was still wrapped around my waist, holding me against his chest. His breathing was deep and even, lost in sleep. He looked younger like this. Peaceful. The hard lines of his face softened,

    One week.Seven days since Aria's fever broke and she smiled at me like nothing had ever been wrong.Seven days of Alessandro watching me with those dark eyes that seemed to see straight through my soul.Seven days of pretending I wasn't drowning in feelings I had no right to have.The tension between us was suffocating. Every accidental touch sent electricity through my veins. Every shared glance across the dinner table made my heart race. Every time he said my name, I felt like I was coming apart at the seams.He'd meant what he said in the hospital. About wanting a family. About not caring what I was hiding.But he didn't know the truth.And when he found out, his beautiful promises would turn to ash.---Aria was finally sleeping peacefully in her crib, her fever long gone but my protective instincts were still on high alert.
