I wasn't that stupid.

Chapter Eighteen

~ Vittorio ~

I woke to someone knocking on the door. Besides the fact that I could have used a few hours more of sleep, getting out of a nice warm comfortable bed with a sexy man in it was not something I wanted to do, but whoever it was at the door was very persistent.

I groaned almost silently as I rolled to the side of the bed and reached for the lounge pants Luca had loaned me.

I grumbled to myself as I walked across the room and yanked the door open. "What?" I snarled in a whisper so i didn't wake Tony.

Luca cocked an eyebrow.

I sighed as I rubbed a hand over my face. "Sorry, man, you woke me from a dead sleep."

Not to mention a snuggle with a warm body.

"You might want to put these on." Luca handed me a stack of clothes. "Your Uncle Carmine is at the gate demanding to see you."

My eyebrows snapped together. "How did he know we were here? I didn't call him."

"I don't know, but he's making a lot of racket. If he doesn't quite down, the authorities are going to show up and I can't have that."

"No, no, of course not." I'd already caused Luca enough problems. I didn't want to cause him anymore. "Look, if it's okay with you, let him in and serve him some coffee or something. I need fifteen minutes to shower and dress, and then I'll be down."

"I'll give you twenty, but not a minute more. He's starting to get on my nerves."

"Oh, hey, did Vinnie's guys arrive?" I asked before the man could leave.

"Not yet, but they should be here soon. I talked to Vinnie and he's going to loan them to me for a couple of days just in case anyone decides to attack us again."

"Any word on who was behind the attack?"

Luca snorted as he waved a hand toward the bed. "Your boy there did a pretty good job. Those ass hats are all still unconscious."

I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.

"I have them all locked up and under guard. The moment one of them wakes up, I'll be informed."

"If it's okay with you, I'd like to be there when you talk to them."

Luca nodded. "That would be fine."

"I'll be as quick as I can."

"Are you bringing Tony down with you?"

I glanced back at the sleeping man in the bed. "No, I think I'll let him sleep a little longer."

"You know he's going to be pissed at you, don't you?"

"Probably, but it's a chance I'll take. I want to meet with my uncle first and find out what kind of mood he's in before I introduce him to Tony. I have a feeling that that introduction is going to go sideways rather quickly."

Tony was not going to put up with any of my uncle's shit.

"You're probably right."

Oh, I knew I was.
