Page 76 of Dare To Love Me

“Arianna,” I said in friendly warning, drawing out her name.

“Ok. Ok. Becka told me about the fountain. So hot by the way.”

Oh, hell.Women. “Not all of it.” I ground out remembering the ending.

“I know. I’m sorry.”

“Ok. What am I missing?” Matteo jumped in.

Arianna looked to me with a silent request for permission.

“Ugg. I don’t care. Just not here.”

She snuggled harder into Matteo’s side. “I’ll tell you later. Ok? Husband.”

“Ok. Wife. Let’s get a drink.” They turned to the bar.

With nothing else to distract me I went in search of Becka. She had been gone for a while. I had no clue how long it normally takes a woman in the bathroom, but an uncomfortable feeling churned in my gut as I made my way across the room. Something cold brushed the back of my neck in warning.

Nico was making his move on a woman when he spied me from several feet away. He walked away from the conversation without a backwards glance. “What’s up, Luca?” He asked matching my stride.

“Just a bad feeling.” He didn’t reply but nodded and stayed at my side.
