“And now?”

“Now I do.”

Alessandro walked up to them.

“Well, brother. You got yourself a keeper there.”

He winked at Mia and he walked away.

“Now what?” Mia asked.“More tests?”

“The biggest test of all,“Lorenzo said.“I want you to meet my family.”

Chapter10

Mia walked into a dark, deserted parking garage. She waited near the elevators, as instructed.

A few seconds later, a figure emerged from around the corner—Greyson.

He touched her shoulder tenderly.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

Mia was definitely not okay. The stunt Lorenzo pulled at the warehouse freaked her out.

“I’m in way over my head.”

“What happened?”

“He’s testing me..”

Greyson nodded.“That’s to be expected.”

“He tried to get me to shoot a cop.”

“But you didn’t, obviously.”

Mia shook her head. It wasn’t exactly a lie—she hadn’t shot him. But she had pulled the trigger. She wasn’t sure why she’d done it—it was against every moral she had. But in the moment, with Lorenzo and his crew, something had come over her.

And now she didn’t trust herself.

“That’s part of being undercover,” Greyson said.“The Rossi’s aren’t stupid. They’ve been infiltrated before. They’ll take any opportunity they can to test you. You just have to stay a step ahead.”

“How do I do that?”

“That’s what you have me for.”

He put his hand on her shoulder again, let it linger. She looked up at him—there was something there. He had some kind of feeling towards her.

He pulled her in for a hug. Mia let it happen. It felt safe with Greyson, not dangerous like life with Lorenzo was.

Greyson pulled back a little. He looked into her eyes.

He kissed her.

It was tender, a little unsure. Nothing like the depth and passion she had with Lorenzo. It was pleasant—but it felt wrong.

She pulled away.“I can’t.”
