He asked, a strange familiar glint in his eyes as he eyed me up and down, noticing everything as he raised his glass to his mouth taking a sip of the whiskey-the same one Jacob always had. "You asked for one night, right?"I cut straight to the point, "If I spend the night with you, will you return everything you have unfairly taken from him through your false reports in the media?" "Yes, Bella Dona," he replied, rising from his seat with a sly grin, coming closer to me. So close that I could feel his breath on my skin, "I'll return everything to him," his cold rings grazed my skin as he traced my shoulder down to my finger, where he noticed my ring with Jacob's initials. "However, there's one thing I can't return to him," he fixed his gaze on my face. "You." "It's just for one night, Tyler. I'll never be yours." *** Upon our arrival in Italy, none of us gave a second thought to the idea that Love in Italy might differ from how we were in America.
