boxers. They were a little big on me, even with my big butt. I smiled when I thought about the way he squeezed it like it was a treasure. I laid back in bed, fell straight asleep. I guessed my mind and body were overwhelmed with today’s events.
    I woke up the next morning, and he was still not there. Something felt wrong. I got out of bed and used the restroom, brushed my teeth, and then opened the bedroom door. Marco wasn’t standing there anymore, no one was. I walked out of the room and climbed down the stairs. I had been afraid that something happened in the night. Where was everyone? I thought.
    I made it all the way down the stairs before I ran into the housekeeper. “Signorina, good morning. I am Rosa Maria, Signore Franchetti is in a meeting at the moment. Are you hungry?”
    “Yes,” I whispered full of embarrassment. I wondered if this was a regular. Did she have to entertain all his lovers once he left them alone?
    “Please come. Signore Franchetti, ordered your attire. It should come in a few hours. It is good because his parents will be here today.”
    Oh, Lord. His parents were coming. Great, on top of everything that’s happened, I have to meet his parents.
    I was in the kitchen helping Rosa Maria cook pancakes for breakfast, when I heard a commotion and yelling in Italian.
    Dove diavolo è lei? Dove!
    Rosa excused herself. I heard whispers before the kitchen door opened violently causing me to drop the mixing bowl onto the floor. He was on me in a moment and instead of anger I’d expected for leaving the room, I was wrapped up in his arms. Rosa followed behind him.
    “I’m sorry, I frightened you. I told you not to leave the room.” The look in his eyes was crazed with worry.
    “I wasn’t going to leave, but I wondered if you’d left or something. I opened the door to ask Marco, but he wasn’t there. So I walked down further until I saw your housekeeper, and she asked me if I was hungry.”
    “Let me ask you this. Can I trust you?”
    “I’m not a liar. I’m now a cheating whore, but I’m not a liar.”
    “You’re not a cheating whore. The mother of my children is not a whore.”
    “I’m not the mother of your children. I’m the woman you kidnapped by mistake. Hell for all I know I’m just a replacement for my cousin. Excuse me, I’m no longer hungry.” I tried to run away, but he was too quick for me. His hands wrapped around my waist and pulled me back against his chest.
    “Rosa Maria. Ci lascia.” I watched as she turned off the stove and left the room.
    Turning me around, I saw the anger in his eyes and something else. I didn’t know why he kept looking at me like that, but it was doing things to my heart and my pussy.
    “Regan, do you know why my men kidnapped you?”
    “No, all I gathered was that you wanted Diana instead and that you didn’t care for her.”
    “Yes. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. She played around with my cousin. He fucked her, and then she told her father that she’d been raped by him. He was shot last week and was lucky that they had shitty aim. We’re at war with them. She was going to pay with her life. My cousin had no idea who the slutty broad was that took him back to a hotel room. You were picked up by my men by accident.”
    “So are you ever going to let me go then? I have a family.”
    “I’m your family now.”
    “Is this how you’re getting my uncle back, taking one of his own as a trophy?”
    “Not even close. I’m keeping you because I want to do so. I’m nowhere done with your uncle the man has crossed the line, and there’s no way I’m letting it go. I don’t know about your parents. They seem like clean folks from what I can tell, but I need more information.”
    “You better not touch them. They are nothing like my uncle or you. They are good people who live normal, crime free lives.”
    “I better not? What the fuck are you going to do about it?”
    “If you do anything to harm them the only way you’ll be
