Page 50 of Sing to Me (Dark Renzetti 1)

Ifell asleep hours later after Gavriel made love to me a few more times. Yes,made love.He took his time learning my body and my tells. He said he wanted to know what made me feel good, what parts of my body were most responsive and even though I loved being tied up, I thoroughly enjoyed the soft and slow. I feel like a live wire all over. The way he touches me, like I’m his religion, makes me feel like a goddess. He asks me questions about myself while running his fingers across my body like he can’t stop touching me and he quotes Poe by heart.

Is there a better man on earth? No.

We have a game we like to play where he’ll start a quote and I have to finish it. If I don’t get it right, I have to keep myself from climaxing until he gives me permission. I’ve messed up once and had to suffer those pleasurable bites to my clit.

After waking up I found a note from Gavriel saying, “Good morning,tesoro mio. I’ll be home for lunch. Please enjoy your new phone and credit card. Go shopping and buy those lyric books you were telling me about. Anything you want.”

I reread the note a few more times and then look at the new phone he got me. I knew he’d be buying a new one for me. He said he didn’t trust my old one to be clean enough, so I’m guessing this one has been fixed up by Nico. I guessed correctly because I see the contacts already added and a calendar alter for the day Luca is supposed to go to Medusa’s. I wanted to message Luca back after reading the request Luca left on FB, but I decided I’d let him walk in and meet me.

What can I say?

I’m the kind of woman who likes to wing it.

I’m thankful I was able to get the bastard to tell us what he did to my family, but I feel incredibly sad for Andino. He lost both brothers. It seems I wasn’t the only one who suffered from this betrayal. Three families did.

I felt a slight satisfaction at making Adriano cry out and bleed, but to be honest, nothing done to that piece of scum will ever soothe me.

I spent the day and the rest of that week getting to know my cousins and video chatting with the Renzetti sisters. Gavriel andZiotold me that it wasn’t fully safe for us to be out and about quite yet. Not until all the threats have been squashed, but I’ve waited long enough to meet my brother and plus, his life is also in danger. I gave them seven days to make it as safe as possible for me to go to Luca. Once the week is over, I’m going whether anyone agrees with me or not.

Of course, not all threats could be put out in that short amount of time, but Gavriel agrees we can’t leave Luca exposed to the dangers. So here I am, one week later, setting up the stage at Medusa’s.

Turns out the comment Luca left on Medusa’s page was a request for me to sing for the birthday of a friend. I definitely do not want to become a birthday singer, but I’ll do anything to get to Luca. So, I’m making sure I have everything ready.

“Do you think he’ll recognize me?” I ask Gavriel.

“He might but you’re older now and I’m sure when he thinks of you he sees a little fat baby with drool on her chin.” Gavriel answers as he dodges the olive I throw at his head.

This guy.

I have some terrible nerves running through so to help me I press play on my upbeat tracks. “Tongue Tied” by Grouplove begins to play, helping me calm a little but I need something more.

“Let’s get a drink and calm your jitters, yeah?” Gavriel says as if he read my thoughts.

God, I love this man.

As we’re sitting at the bar drinking a little and laughing a lot, the cutest greaser girl I’ve ever seen with silver blond pin-up style hair and makeup, comes in and pulls up short staring straight at Gavriel.

“We’re not open yet.” I inform her.

“Mr. Renzetti.” she tensely says at the same time.

I look between the two of them wondering how they know each other. If she’s one of his past lovers I think I’ll lose my shit but I can’t help checking her out, she’s fine as hell.

I’m legit stuck checking her out from head to peep-toe and crushing hard when Gavriel speaks up, “Yo Silver Mazzi. What brings you to Medusa’s?”

She visibly relaxes and gives us a big smile, showing off her double vampire gum piercings. I swear, if I didn’t love Gavriel I’d be chasing this girl.

“I could ask you the same thing. I’m here to speak with Anastaisa.” She looks over at me and I give her a smile while trying to keep my eyes from wandering past her face.

“I left a message on Facebook about having you sing for a friend of mine.” I furrow my brows at that because the only request we got was from Luca.

“Sorry Silver, I got a request from a man named Lucian but that’s it.” I tell her.

“Oh yes! I completely forgot about that. It was actually me who booked you for Lucian. You see, today is his mother’s birthday, but she passed away years ago. He gets a little withdrawn and blue around this time, so I thought I’d set up a surprise and have you sing for him when I bring him in for drinks later.” She throws me off with that tidbit, but the sweet gesture she’s showing my brother has my chest tightening. The world needs more people like her.

My mother’s birthday is today. She’s a Scorpio, just like Carla. I love it.

I stand and reach my hand out to her for a shake. “That’s a very sweet thing you’re doing for your...boyfriend?” I know it’s obvious I’m digging for information and I feel like a jerk when she blushes.
