Chapter 235: Lucky
"John Russo," Tony said gently tracing his finger over her lips.
He was proud of himself. She was so serious earlier but now she had forgotten about it. He made her forget everything else by his prowess.
"Oh?" Marcella said. Her excitement got down a notch and she scooted closer to him. "Is he Paul Romano’s cousin?" she asked.
That guy said that she killed his cousin. She killed only one person to her knowledge.
"No," Tony pulled her closer to him holding her butt. He gently kneaded her round derriere. "He was the cousin of that guy your father killed in our final year. Those..."
"Rapists?" Marcella asked. "Ewe! Did he not know what his cousin did? And since when I should answer for my father’s crimes?"
"Never mind him. He will not come near you when you’re there. And he’s too interested in keeping his job. He won’t lose his future for avenging his rapist cousin," Tony said.
Marcella looked into his eyes. His eyes were focused and his voice was steady. She knew he believed what he said. That was enough for her.
She trusted his protective instinct. He would be watching that guy like a hawk and throw him out if he was dishonest.
She leaned on his chest and kissed his Adam’s apple, caressing the scars on his back. Every time she touched the scars, she would remember the hot kiss they shared in the bathroom of Tony’s apartment.
Her lips curved to a smile.
He is mine! This hot guy is mine!
