The St Patrick Series Book #3: Twin Trouble

Chapter 36: Loose Ends

Daniella's POV
I felt his warmth cuddling close to my own, skin to skin. Our clothes are on the floor, setting a trail of how we spent our early morning after partying through to the morning. We barely had a wedding night but we did have the best hour or two before the sun started to caress the horizon.

I played with his fingers, especially the one with a ring. I smiled to myself with nothing but happiness. He's my husband.

"Mrs St Patrick." He groaned. "Not to complain but I can't feel my arm." I chuckled and raised my head. He moved his arm away.

"I'm sorry. It was better than the pillow."

"All this hard muscle is better than the pillow?" He chuckled.

"Yes." I sighed with the sheet secured around my chest. I get shy after we make love and I'm not sure why I become a blushing mess. "Good morning."

"Mrs St Patrick, I dint think it's morning." He chuckled. "Probably late afternoon. Stop hiding." He propped himself on one elbow and gently tagged the sheet to reveal my body. The back of his hand ran over the swell of my breasts, fleetingly touching my sensitive nipples. "I love where you're going with these."

I looked away from his face.

"Uh... Are you back for good?" I used a pillow to cover myself from his eyes.

"No. I have a week with you. I couldn't get a longer time."

"We have to make that count. I think we should stay here."

"I just need to leave for a day or two-"

"Why?"

He got up. He pulled a pair of shorts on. He brought over his backpack. He unzipped it and showed me a leather bound journal. "This was Danica's. I got it from Izzy." I received the journal. I flipped through the pages. It's her handwriting. "She talks about Levi Monáe. I need a day or two to track him down."

"Why?" I looked into his serious green eyes.

"He probably killed her."

"And what will you do when you find him?"

"I'll send him after Giorgio."

"Bruce, I appreciate what you're trying to do here but what happens when things go wrong? What happens then? We are newly married and I'm pregnant. I want revenge for Danica too but is it as important as you staying alive and being a father and a husband? No. Don't go."

He climbed on the bed. He knelt in front of me,easing himself to rest on his folded legs. "I loved your sister. Just like you wanted Giorgio to pay, she would want Levi Monáe to pay. If I don't do this Dani, I'll never be at peace."

I don't need this right now!

"Bruce... I don't want you to do it."

"I have to. That is how I put this behind me. It's just two days. I know where he is. You'll stay here until I come back."

"Am I safe here? Do you know Mancini was here? He summoned Kei. He wanted me too but my bodyguards intervened."

"What did Mancini want?"

"I don't know."

"You're safe. I'll double security. I'll be back quickly. I promise." We shared a kiss. He pulled away quicker than I expected.

Come to think of it, did I see Kei at the wedding? I don't remember that.

"Bruce!"

"Yeah?"

"Did you see Kei yesterday?"

"Nope." He answered.

"Are you sure?"
