I smile at that, and Walker chuckles.
“When Mila is involved, it’s always entertaining.” I smack his arm and he laughs again.
“Give me your number, Mila.” Alessandro asks and I freeze. Why does he want my number?
“So I can get in touch with you if I have any more questions. But don’t worry. Your problem will be taken care of. You won’t hear or see from either of them again.”
Oh, God.Sounds a little “sleeping with the fishes” type of saying. And as much as I don’t want these guys around, I don’t want to know about their deaths either.
I nod and take Alessandro’s phone and put my number in there. I save myself as ‘Mila gate jumping girl.’ So, he remembers me in a good way. He looks at it and laughs.
“I’ll show you to the door.” He gestures to the way we came with his hand, and we follow him.
He turns around in the foyer and gives me back the money, I almost forgot about that. I hand it over to Walker.
Alessandro nods at him and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders from coming here. It’s done. We are free. I smile to myself. This is going to be so much better for us all going forward now.
The guard at the door nods and opens the door for us. And I can see Roman running towards the house with Hunter on his tail. What? How did they get here so fast? Alessandro moves swiftly and so does his guard.
Fuck.
“He’s harmless.” Asher quickly says to them both. The guard is holding his gun. And where did Alessandro get a gun from? Did he have that the whole time.Oh, my God.
“Roman,” I tell Alessandro. I want him to know it's Roman.
“He’s very protective of Mila.” Walker explains. “Like insanely protective.” Asher adds.
Alessandro nods towards Roman, and I run. I didn’t realize until then how much I needed him here. As I see him, I cry. This weight was so emotional that was pinning us down and now we’re free. All of us.
He crushes me to his chest, spinning me away from the house as he hugs me tight. We drop to our knees as he takes me down with him. His back to the Amato house. When I try to look over his shoulder to see where Asher and Walker are, Roman grabs my face and pulls it to his chest again. I let out a deep, shuddering breath and let him hold me. He wants to protect me. I’m going to let him do that. I need that as much as he does right now.
Hunter wraps his arms around me. And the three of us. Just hold each other tight. Until there’s a clearing of a throat and Hunter stands.
“I’m Hunter, Mila’s boyfriend.” He says. He looks down at me and smiles.
“Well, one of her boyfriends, but I don’t think Roman’s gonna let her go right now. So let me thank you for everything. Asher kept me in the loop on our way here.”
I realize then it’s Alessandro, he’s talking too. Jace appears to our left, and he smiles at me before looking at the others.
“I’m Jace, future husband of Mila.” He almost growls. He catches my eye, “once she kisses me,” and winks. I roll my eyes and he chuckles.
“Wow, Mila.” Roman lets me look over his shoulder at Alessandro.
“Three guys? I would think you would have to be someone very special to have three of them wanting to share you. But I’ve now met you, and I can see why.” Alessandro speaks and I smile. I'm the luckiest girl.
“Four, actually. When she’s ready to admit her feelings for me.” Asher states. Looking down at me, nodding. I roll my eyes, but it’s painfully true. And I need to do something about my feelings for him.
Alessandro chuckles. “Do we have number five here, Walker?”
Walker bursts out laughing. “Hell, no. I love the little firecracker, but she’s too much for me to handle. But I love looking at her ass in that little red—”
Asher smacks Walker in the chest, cutting off what he was just about to say. I laugh. Roman grunts and whispers into my ear.
“Asher… he’s okay.” I smile into his chest. He is. He came with me and I’m so glad he did. I need to tell him and Walker thank you for today. I don’t think I could’ve gone through with this without them both.
I try to stand, but Roman won't let me. He cradles me in his arms and holds me close to his chest as he picks me up. He slowly turns to Alessandro, and it's then I realize Roman has a cut under his eye and a bruise. That would be from the fight last night. The last fight he will be in.
“Roman, I’m sorry for what’s happened. I promise you they will be taken care of.”
