I turned to look at Massimo, who’d just appeared in the bedroom doorway of the beautiful suite we were staying in. Fuck the cops. They could clean up the sites and figure out who had died and trace their families, but I didn’t trust them for more than that.
“Ok, shall I give it some time... say a few weeks? It would be sad if anything terrible happened to the folks in charge there.”
“Yeah, it would be such a shame,” I agreed, a wicked smile curving my lips as I looked at my husband.
I said goodbye to Giada and hung up.
Massimo approached me. I could hear the thundering sound of the bath running in the other room. The man loved to fuck in the tub.
“Who was that?”
“Our IT specialist. She has a location for us to visit... our second honeymoon stop point,” I said with a grin.
“Hmm, why do I think this one never made it onto any top-ten destination lists for honeymoon ideas?”
“Let’s just say it’s specific to us,” I murmured. I leaned up and threaded my arms around his neck. “Would you go to another Hallow Hall with me?”
“In a heartbeat,” he answered immediately.
“Would you hurt someone for me?”
“Without question.”
“Kill for me?” I added.
“Just tell me who, angel. You’re my conscience. I kill on your command.” He leaned down and grabbed my ass, hauling me closer.
“Good to know. So... you want to make a deal with me?” I teased.
“Hasn’t anyone ever told you not to make deals with devils?” he said back, picking me up and carrying me toward the bathroom.
I nodded solemnly. “Yes... so I only make an exception for one. My own personal devil.”
“Good,” Massimo growled. “Don’t go making me jealous. You’re my wife. If someone needs killing, I’ll do it. Now, let’s seal this deal the old-fashioned way,” he said, and put me down next to the bath. It was a huge soaker tub and was already steaming.
“With a kiss?” I asked with mock innocence.
Massimo laughed. “A kiss? Those babies aren’t going to make themselves,micetta. Strip, wife. The water’s waiting.”
And so I did.
There was nothing I wouldn’t do for my husband, the killer, the soldier, the sinner.
God’s favorite monster.
