Chapter 42

• Mia.
• "I need to lay down. Take me to your room, please" I tell Rico when I pull away from the kiss. It will be a while before the guys return. Alessio had mentioned they have a lot of injured men, so they are bound to delay. Furthermore, I have less to worry about now that she has been rescued.
• "Okay," Rico helps me to his room and I quickly take his hand when he turns to leave. "Lay with me" He doesn't hesitate. He gets in the space beside me and pulls me to him. I know we will revisit the prior topic when I get better.
