Chapter 177

• Serafina
• I went into work with my face flaming and my heart beating a staccato rhythm in my chest, half excited and half terrified that Enzo would be there. I was embarrassed by my behavior on the phone the night before. I'd been sound asleep when Enzo had called, dreaming of something I couldn't remember the moment I answered the phone and heard his voice. He'd sounded different somehow. Still as bossy as usual, but also like he...needed me. There'd been something raw and desperate in his voice, and I couldn't help but respond to it.
• So I did as he told me and closed my eyes, imagining it was Enzo's hands touching me and not my own...I'd never come so fast in my life. But it wasn't the phone sex I was embarrassed about. It was what I'd said when it was over about how I wished he'd been there. It was stupid of me to say it out loud. I shouldn't have opened myself up that way. That being said, I thought for sure he would make an appearance tonight.
