I was half-asleep when I felt it, warm fingers tracing slow circles on my hip. At first, I thought I was dreaming. The cabin was quiet, the kind of quiet that makes you forget the world exists. But then his touch got bolder, his hand sliding under my shirt, calloused fingertips skimming my stomach. My breath hitched. Gabriele. I kept my eyes closed, pretending to still be asleep, but my body was wide awake now. His palm slid up my ribs, teasing just under the edge of my bra. My skin prickled with goosebumps. Oh, you sneaky b*st*rd. His lips brushed the back of my neck, so light it could’ve been an accident. But then he did it again, firmer this time, and a shiver shot straight down my spine. His breath was warm against my skin, slow and steady, like he was taking his d*mn time. I bit my lip to keep from smiling. His hand kept moving, sliding around to my stomach, then lower. His fingers hooked into the waistband of my panties, tugging just enough to make my heart pound. Okay, game over. I rolled onto my back, blinking up at him in the dim light. “You know I’m awake, right?” He smirked, not even a little sorry. “Yeah. But you were pretending so well, I didn’t want to ruin it.” I huffed a laugh. “You’re such a—” His mouth crashed onto mine before I could finish, swallowing my words in a kiss that was all heat and no patience. His hands were everywhere, in my hair, on my waist, under my shirt again. I arched into him, my fingers digging into his shoulders like I was afraid he’d disappear. He didn’t. Instead, he pulled back just enough to yank my shirt over my head, tossing it somewhere in the dark. His eyes raked over me, dark and hungry, before he leaned down and dragged his tongue over..... ****** Twenty-five years after reclaiming his place as the ruthless Don of Italy's most feared family, Rafael Marino faces a ghost from the past—a dangerous enemy born from the ashes of the Moretti dynasty.
