I knew he wanted to get back out there to look for our pup.

He didn’t speak, simply placing a few comforting kisses on my neck and shoulder. ‘A debt must always be repaid, by blood or by life. ‘I had done it! I gasped, dropping the pen. Alejandro instantly grabbed some napkins from the tray of leftover food from last night and dabbed them gently over my bleeding hand, then over the paper smeared with blood.” This person’s got some f*****g problem  with me … “

I washed my face and brushed my teeth, rummaging through the suitcase I had grabbed from the other room last night, pulling on some shorts and an oversized top. I didn’t want to wear any of these tops. I didn’t wish to care about any of this colourful crap, but it was all I had brought alon

Liam had already gone, and I wanted to go too … I couldn’t just sit back and do Nothing. I took a plate to the lounge, where Alejandro was smoking at the open patio doors.

Didn’t he understand that I can’t stay still and do Nothing?” Think of it however the f**k you want. You are not leaving this villa.” His tone was cold and final, and when his piercing black eyes met mine, I knew he wouldn’t budge.

He kissed her forehead before looking at me.” Forgive me, Amore Mio …” He leaned over, kissing my lips passionately. I kissed him back slowly, looking up at him as he moved away,
