“Yes, they are Enemies always aim where they can hurt you most”

“And where would the Bratva aim if they wanted to hurt you?”

Luca extinguished the lights “They won’t ever find out”

That wasn’t the answer I’d hoped for but I was too tired to ponder about it Instead I closedto the toilet burnt like hell, and walking wasn’t exactly comfortable either I winced as I stepped back into the bedroom where Luca lay with his head propped up on his arm He watched me “Sore?”

I nodded, blushing “Yeah I’m sorry”

“Why are you sorry?”

I lay down beside hiain, but I don’t think I can”

Luca traced his fingertips over my ribs “I know I didn’t expect you to be ready so soon” He rubbed my stomach, then inched a bit lower “I could lick you if you are up for it”

My core tightened and I really wanted to say yes “I don’t think that’s a good idea”

Luca nodded and settled back against the pillows The blanket crowded around his hips, revealing his muscled torso and the scars there

I moved closer and proppedwhat kind of stories hid behind each of theure out Luca scar by scar like a puzzle Where did he get the long scar on his shoulder and the bullet wound below his ribs?

Trying to distract ainst a et this scar?”

“I was eleven” My eyes greide I was pretty sure where the story was going “The Faht they could grab power by killing ht when I heard screaet out of bed, a un at me I knew I’d die as I stared into the barrel I wasn’t as scared as I thought I’d be He would have killed me, if Matteo hadn’t juer The bullet went a lot lower than it was supposed to and hitand probably would have passed out if the un stashed in the drawer of htstand, took it out and put a bullet in the man’s head before he could kill Matteo”

“That was your first ht?” I whispered

Luca’s eyes, which had been lost in another time, focused on me “Yeah The first of many”

“When did you kill again?”

“That saht” He smiled humorlessly “After that first man, I told Matteo to hide in er and locked hih on adrenaline and could still hear shooting downstairs, so I headed for the noise withmatch with two attackers I came down the stairs but nobody paid me any attention, and then I shot one of them from behind My father took the other doith a shot in the shoulder”
