Chapter 21 Your Exaggerations Are Beyond Me

• “Mother?” Leo breathed in the air of one who didn't know he was being watched.
• Because she couldn't understand Italian, the family has made it a point to speak English whenever she was within the vicinity, but there were still a few times when they resolve to Italian like now as mother and son greeted themselves in Italian.
• Flavia turned to them and looked from Leo to her. Leo was still holding her against his body which caused a rivulet of fire to spread throughout her body and she enjoyed it so much she was a step away from turning putty in his hands. Paige tried to think of a time when Leo had held her like this before but came up with nothing. He had never held her like this and she knew he was doing it today because of the charade because he wanted his mother to see them as the couple they were pretending to be, however, it was making her feel something in her belly. She risked a glance at him, but his gaze was fixed on his mother.
