Fuck.

My abdomen tightened, and anger and annoyance bubbled up inside me. How might she be so reckless and silly?

And delightful.

I leaned again, folded my arms over my chest, and watched the video of her stomping alongside. Her face regarded fierce, as if she was a warrior princess going into battle—or coming from it—and he or she was mumbling one thing and waving her palms, most likely cussing me out. Then she stopped for a second to greet and go the guards earlier than she continued the arm-waving.

I smiled at her antics, leaned ahead, switched cameras till I acquired one other one, then zoomed in on her behind.

I took a few deep breaths to decelerate my instantly elevated heartbeat.

I felt an odd admiration for her defiance.

How had she turn into such a insurgent regardless of rising up, absolutely below tight reign, because the daughter of the top of the Irish Mob?

And the way might a spitting-mad lady look so lovely?

“You’ve acquired some spirit, Payment, I’ll offer you that. However you annoy the heck out of me, you little brat,” I muttered, gritting my tooth. My life was messy sufficient with out enjoying babysitter to a grown lady.

Or enjoying with hearth.

However I had no selection.

I needed to go after her and drag her again, earlier than she acquired into bother.

However proper after, I might to have manage a safety element to look at her 24/7. And I might inform Gabe I used to be too busy to take over babysitter obligation.

Payment Donnelly was harmful.

And never the type of hazard I had time for.

I threw on my leather-based jacket and sun shades, grabbed my helmet and a spare one, and the keys.

I informed Susie, the receptionist, I used to be off for the day, exited the foyer, swung my leg over my bike, and revved the engine earlier than rushing off.

How might one tiny lady be so cussed?

She wasn’t afraid of me, not even a little bit, which was each infuriating and intriguing.

Ladies normally both flirted with or feared me—however not this princess. She was simply totally different. Was that what caught my eye all these months in the past?

The solar beat down on my helmet as I handed the guards, then wound alongside the slim road resulting in our lodge earlier than I opened her up.

The wind whipped previous me, clearing my ideas because it at all times did, and I centered on the surroundings for a second.

I beloved Malta—the blindingly blue sky, the muted shades of inexperienced and grey of the vegetation, the azure sea.

It was the proper antidote to the storm raging within me more often than not.

I centered again on the highway. I wanted to seek out Fiona and drag her again. Would she be silly sufficient to go away the highway? What was she pondering, wandering off alone?

We nonetheless hadn’t discovered who precisely was behind the assault on our household house a few days in the past and what their goal was.

I’d tightened the reins since I used to be again on the island. Had executed the deal Gabe had made with a brand new importer from South America. It left some very highly effective folks very pissed. Was that what the assault was all about?

Or was it the Moretti household?

There have been some rumors that ever since previous Moretti had made his deathbed confession of me being his son, Bruno Moretti had it in for me. And why wouldn’t he? I used to be older than him. I used to be a Moretti, not a Falcone by start. I used to be a menace to his energy. He can be dumb to not attempt to get rid of me.
