dance tune. She answered and lifted it to her ear. “Dominic? Oh, thank God.”
    “Where the hell are you? I’ve been looking everywhere! I went by Vino’s but he said you’d already left.”
    “I’ve been calling you forever. Why didn’t you answer?”
    “I left my phone at home, so I rushed here to get it when I couldn’t find you anywhere else.”
    The panic in his voice wasn’t faked. She cast a quick glance at Luke to reassure him it was her cousin. “Calm down. I’m with Luke. We went to find you, but something came up.”
    “What do you mean something came up? Where the hell are you?”
    Gina sighed. It didn’t matter that he didn’t have Tony Moretti for a father, Dominic definitely displayed alpha tendencies at times. “We’re in Luke’s car. He’s bringing me home.”
    Dominic’s voice tightened. “Let me talk to him.”
    “To Luke?”
    Her cousin growled. “Yes.”
    She handed over the phone. “He wants to talk to you.”
    Luke took it, the brush of his fingers against her setting her nerve endings aflame, and cradled it between his shoulder and ear. “What’s up?”
    The volume was turned up loud enough for her to hear Dominic’s reply. “What the fuck, man? Gina is my responsibility. I can’t have you playing with her.”
    Gina snorted and rolled her eyes. Luke gave her a cautious look. “She can hear you, by the way, so watch what you say.”
    She jerked to attention. What would it matter what he said? Were they keeping secrets? Curiosity was the bane of her existence. She hated being left out.
    “Good. Then she can hear me when I say get her ass home now.”
    Luke chuckled. “Don’t worry. We’re on the way.”
    “What came up?”
    “Nothing I can’t handle. I’ll tell you when we get there.” Luke disconnected the call and gave the cell back to her. A reassuring smile softened his features. “See, he’s fine.”
    She pocketed the phone again. “He’s mad at me.”
    “No. If anything, he’s mad at me.”
    She was confused. “Why would he be mad at you?”
    One of his eyebrows arched. “Why do you think?”
    “Oh.” Heat touched her cheeks. “That.”
    “Yes, that .” He glanced at her, about to say something, when his attention was diverted to the rearview mirror. “Are you fucking kidding me?”
    “What? What is it?” She twisted in her seat to see what had made his curse. A black car with dark tinted windows trailed a few feet behind them. “I don’t see anything.”
    “Turn around,” he commanded.
    She did as he asked, nervousness making her voice tremble. “I don’t understand.”
    A roar of an engine drowned out her words. Her head turned again at the noise. The black car surged forward, the front end slamming into the bumper of Luke’s Lexus. The collision jolted her. She put a hand against the dashboard to remain steady.
    “Luke!” she screamed as the car bumped them again.
    “Hold on.” He pressed down the accelerator, and the Lexus shot forward during a break in the traffic. He weaved in and out of the cars, doing his best to lose the car tailing them. “Do me a favor. Call Dominic and tell him to get out of the apartment.”
    Her animal senses went on full-alert. “What does Dom have to do with any of this?”
    “Just do it. Now , Gina.”
    The urgency in his tone brooked no argument. With shaking fingers, she dialed Dominic. She looked at Luke for reassurance, but found none. As soon as her cousin had answered, the words spilled forward in a rush. “Luke wants you to leave the apartment.”
    Luke swung to the left to avoid another swipe from the black car. “Tell him to go. Don’t take the time to pack. Just go somewhere safe and we’ll contact him when we can. Don’t say anything else. The call may be tapped.”
    She gave the instructions to Dominic word for word. He was understandably upset. “Gina, what the hell is going on?”
    “I can’t talk right now. Just do what I told you. Luke will keep me safe.” As she said the
