Jacopo's hands roved down my body, and he crushed me to his chest as the kiss grew passionate. A soft moan escaped my lips as I savored the feeling of his touch. His hard frame pressed against me, and I could feel the unmistakable bulge in the crotch of his pants.
 "You want me even though you know how bad I am for you," he murmured against my lips, his voice rough with desire. 
I nodded, unable to form words. The feelings I felt for him were consuming me, and I knew there was no going back.

Vendetta and Vino: Tuscan Temptations

As I leaned in close to Francesco's lifeless body, I noticed something sticking out of his shirt. It was a thin black wire that connected to a small box in the waistband of his slacks.

My voice echoed in the empty parking lot before I angrily ripped it off and ground it into the ground with the heel of my shoe. I looked over to my bodyguard who had been hit during the gunfire, "Are you okay?" 


He nodded, "Just got me in the shoulder. I'll live."


Two of my other men helped him from the ground and we all walked together to the cars. We left Lucia and Francesco lying next to each other on the pavement. It was picturesque, really. It reminded me of Romeo and Juliet.
