I wanted not to be bothered by what he did for a living –
But it was hard.
And I wondered if I was ignoring reality just because I liked him.
To be honest…
…I didn’t just ‘like’ him.
I was falling for him.
Hard.
It was scary to admit that.
And I sure as hell wasn’t about to admit it tohim.Not until he said it first.
But Giorgio was by far the kindest man I’d ever been with…
The most cheerful…
The funniest…
And the most handsome. Mygodwas he hot.
Not to mention incredible in bed – better than anyone else byfar.
But…
I didn’t want the man I was falling for to be a bad guy.
Yes… okay… I’ll admit, there was something about the danger that I kind of liked alittle.
A feeling of safety… that nobody, not even another mafia asshole like Maurizio, could touch me as long as I was with Giorgio.
But I was afraid that one day the darkness might turn on me…
And it scared me.
Even more terrifying was that his job might take him away from me forever.
I couldn’t see myself married with two kids, praying every day as their daddy walked out the door that he would come back alive that night.
Then I snapped back to reality.
Two kids?!I thought in disbelief.Their DADDY?!
Stop it!
You’re just having fun!
Relax and stop trying to plan the wedding.
It was easier to relax and stop caring about his job when he said things like, “I’m just a guy on a date with the girl he’s crazy about. That’s it.”
All my fears melted away and were replaced with this feeling ofAwwwww!
I smiled up at him. “…you’re crazy about me?”
