And kissed me.
I kissed her back.
I only stopped when she bit my lip so hard I bled.
“Fuck you!” I laughed as I pushed her away.
She giggled, then drummed her hands on my chest in excitement. “What are we going to do first?!”
My mood suddenly darkened. “Find out who killed him.”
She snorted. “We already knowthat.”
“What?! Who?!”
“ThatCosa Nostrafucker from Tuscany. The one Papa got hired to put out a hit on.”
“…Rosolini…?” I asked, struggling to remember the name.
“DarioRosolini,” she said, then huffed in exasperation. “That was the whole point of the riot – to give Papa cover to kill him! Jesus, do you not read the messages Papa sends us atall?”
Actually, I didn’t. I relied on Lucrezia to handle the business end. I was the one who led the troops and did all the killing.
“Who paid for the hit?” I asked.
“We don’t know,” she said with a shrug. “It was anonymous – came through one of Papa’s lawyers. He thought it might be someone in theCosa Nostrawho wanted Rosolini dead.”
“Cosa Nostrapieces of shit,” I grumbled. “They’ll backstab their own family just to make a buck.”
“Youdorealize we’re celebrating our own father’s death, don’t you?” she asked sarcastically.
“Yeah, butwedidn’t kill him. And now I’m going to skullfuck the bastard whodid.”
“You ought to be thanking this Dario asshole. After all, he got you a promotion.”
“I’m still going to kill him,” I snarled. “Blood is blood, even if Papawasa son of a bitch.”
“I guess we owe him that,” she said grudgingly. “I’ll have one of our men in San Vittore do it.”
“Rosolini killed five other guys besides Papa.”
“At the sametime?!”
“Yes.”
Lucrezia’s eyebrows shot up. “Really.”
“That’s what the warden said. He didn’t mention any names, so I’m guessing he doesn’t know Rosolini did it – but whoever it was killed all six of ‘em.”
“Hm… impressive…”
Suddenly jealous, I grabbed her hips and pulled her into me. “What – you wanna fuck the guy?”
She giggled again as she crawled one hand up my chest like a spider. “Why… does it make youhot?”
“…yeah,” I growled as I bit her neck. “It kinda does.”
“Too bad,” she laughed as she pushed me away. “But it wasn’t just one guy. Rosolini obviously had help.Nobodycan kill six men singlehandedly.”
