“You’d better watch your tone,” Hiro warned.
“I will be sure he’s taken care of. And I’ll ask him to call you when he’s feeling better,” Enzo told me.
“You aren’t going to hurt him, are you?” I asked. I mean, I knew he said he was taking him to a doctor, but Enzo Salvatore was not known for his kindness.
“You have my word that I will not,” Enzo said sincerely.
I nodded because it was likely the best I was going to get.
Enzo glanced at Hiro again. “It appears I am in your debt.”
“It’s killing you, isn’t it?” Hiro mused.
Enzo’s chin lifted arrogantly. “Let me know what I can do to repay the favor.”
“You provided a distraction for me to get to Pip. Consider it even,” Hiro replied.
“Boss,” one of the men called from beside Enzo’s SUV.
Enzo turned immediately and lifted a hand. To us, he said, “Don’t worry about the cleanup. I’ll have it taken care of.” And then he was climbing into the back of his car, and it sped away.
I really hoped Wyatt was okay.
“How’s your head?” Hiro asked, scooping me into hisarms again.
Throbbing. Funny how I hadn’t felt it until someone pointed out it was there. “Not terrible,” I replied. Honestly, my broken fingers hurt worse, but I figured saying that wouldn’t help the situation.
“Lying to your husband is a sin.”
I giggled. “The plug inside me is a good distraction from the pain,” I whispered.
Hiro made a low sound. “It was also a good way to keep track of you.”
My nose wrinkled. “What do you mean?”
“I put a tracker in it just in case we got separated.”
“That’show you knew where I was?”
“Well, that and I lit someone on fire,” he added.
“You did what?”
“The whole place actually.” He seemed proud of himself.
“Is that why you smell like cigarettes?”
“Didn’t even enjoy the drag I had of it really,” he answered and leaned down. “You taste way better.”
“You really put a GPS in my ass?” I asked, clenching around the small plug and feeling only a zing of excitement.
“Damn right, I did.” At least he owned the devious behavior.
“You aresucha stalker.”
“I told you location services are my love language,” he mused.
“Thank you for coming for me,” I said, a little emotional over how far he was willing to go to keep me safe. I mean, itwas absolutely unhinged, but I liked it.
