whole family around.” I hissed the words out softly, feeling my cheeks heat with a blush.
    “They can’t hear me.” His hand slid under the table to stroke the inside of my thigh and I slapped at his hand. “What are you thinking about, Karen?”
    “I’m just happy that Tony loves Amanda so much.”
    His dark eyes grew serious. “Love is a powerful thing.”
    His words made my heart beat faster, and I had to turn away from him and take a sip of water. I didn’t know what to say to him. Luckily, Maria turned to me at that moment and started chatting. “So, Karen. What do you say about having coffee with me tomorrow? We can share some girl gossip, and I can tell you all the horrible things Angelo did when we were kids.”
    That made me laugh. “I’d love to.”
    Angelo leaned over and joined in the conversation. “Not tomorrow, bella . We’ll be sleeping in late.”
    I looked at him and raised a brow. “Will we?”
    “Yes, cara mia . It’s Friday night, and I don’t plan to let you out of my bed until Sunday at the earliest.”
    “Ugh, you’re such a guy .” Maria said as she rolled her eyes. “I so did not need to hear that. Well, Karen, how about Monday then? We can make it lunch instead.”
    I grinned. “Works for me.”
    With the evening coming to a close, Jonathan checked to see if I needed a ride home and simply smirked when I’d told him Angelo would drive me home. I hugged my friend goodbye and noted that he and Rocco left the hall together a minute later.
    Looks like I wasn’t the only one getting lucky tonight.
    Angelo rushed us through the rest of our farewells, and before I knew it I was seated in the back of a town car as his driver took us to his apartment. The entire night had been like foreplay to me. Even with our earlier encounter, it had been way too long since I’d felt him inside me. Sitting next to him I reached out and ran my hand over the thick muscle of his thigh. I looked up at him through veiled lashes when he put his hand over mine and stopped me.
    “Behave, Karen,” he commanded in a soft voice. “I promised you that next time I was inside of you it would be on a bed, and I always keep my promises.”
    Trying to be good, I removed my hand from his thigh, but he kept it in his and simply held it for the rest of the drive. The gesture was sweet and seemed so unlike him, and that made it even more precious to me.
    The mid-rise building we pulled up to was sleek, modern and new. I was sort of surprised, as I saw him as more, how to say it, ‘old-school’ than that. The doorman rushed over and opened the back door of the car for us. Angelo got out first and then held out his hand to assist me.
    We walked through the lobby and the guard at the desk smiled at Angelo. “Good evening, sir.”
    “Hello, Bill.” Angelo stopped at the desk, keeping hold of my hand. “Please make sure that Ms. Karen Blackwell is added to the list of persons that you’re to allow direct access up to my condo.”
    “I’ll add her right now, sir.”
    “Thank you, Bill. Have a good night.”
    Angelo pulled me gently with him to the bank of elevators and I couldn’t help but smile at him. When he looked down at me he shot me a questioning glance. “What?”
    “Putting me on your list? That’s a big step.”
    He snorted. “Karen, I plan to keep you here as much as I can. But the times I do let you leave, I want to make it easy for you to return.”
    Smiling at his cheekiness, I stepped into the elevator with him silently and watched as he hit one of the four top buttons with a “P” on it to indicate it was one of the penthouse suites in the building. During the quick ride up, I tried to study my own feelings. It was time for a reality check. A part of me was thrilled, and another part was terrified at the commitment he was talking about. To actually hear it from a man that I wanted a relationship with was scary and uncharted territory for me.
    When the elevator stopped and the doors
