She walks up to the closet and looks at all the neatly stored clothes and the new shoes in a row at the bottom. She pulls sweatpants and a tank top from a shelf and lays them down on the end of the bed. She takes her clothes off and walks into the bathroom. She turns the shower above the bath on and washes herself with Logan's shower gel. She feels the last bit of tension leave her body and sighs contently.

She takes her make-up off and rubs a bit of lip balm on her lips. She puts the top and pants on without any underwear under it. Her tattoo is exposed in this top, she smiles and walks downstairs on her bare feet.

She walks over to one of the benches next to the window and sits down on it and relaxes. She leans against the window and listens to the voices in the cafe. Her eyes search for Logan, but she can't find him. She thinks back on the moment Lexy called him. And how his voice alone makes her feel better.

She smiles thinking about it and hears her favorite voice say: "I sure hope you're thinking about me right now, Bonnie. Because you look very happy." He puts a plate filled with steak, fries, and a salad in front of her and puts the utensils on the table next to it. He sits down next to her and she snuggles up to him.

"Yes, Logan. I was thinking of you." She kisses him gently and he smiles against her lips.

"Have a good meal, Bonnie. Do you want something to drink with it?"

She asks for a glass of water and thanks him for the food. She enjoys the meal and the relaxed feel of not having to solve any problems. She looks up from her plate when someone sits down across from her and looks into Dino's eyes. He steals a fry from her plate and grins at her. She shoots him a relaxed smile and pushes her plate over to him. He devours the fries and the last piece of steak and she laughs freely.

Dino looks into her eyes and says: "You look good, sis. I was worried that..."

"Yeah. Mia was rough. But Ricardo and Logan helped me through it. How are you doing?"

"Better. I managed to sleep a couple of hours and woke up hungry."

Logan walks up and asks: "Do you want something to eat Dino?"

"The same, cause the leftovers were amazing."

"And a beer?"

"Yes please."

Logan walks off to get it and Scorpia watches him with a loving look in her eyes.

"How is that going sis? Has Dani caused any trouble lately?"

"I haven't spoken to Dani since that day in the hospital. But I talked about it with Logan and..." She covers the tattoo with her hand and says: "Here. Forever."

Dino smiles and says: "I was able to save those girls thanks to Dani. She told me to reach out to Leo."

Logan places the beer on the table with a loud bang and immediately walks off. Dino cocks his brow and shoots his sister a questioning look. She shrugs and takes a sip from her water.

"Scorpia? Maybe you should talk about it some more."

"Dino... She is not going after Logan and Logan doesn't want her. And I want to keep her on as a lawyer because she can give you tips like the last one. She is a good lawyer. But I would lie if I said I didn't see her as a threat."

Logan puts a plate of food in front of Dino and runs off again.

Dino sighs. "Sister. She's not a threat. That damn Scot can only think of one woman. But I can imagine that it feels uncomfortable when another woman admits to loving your man."

Scorpia nods and says: "I'd feel better if she found a different man to focus on."

Dino nods and hums an answer with his mouth full of food. His phone lights up and he looks at the screen. He slides it towards Scorpia and she looks at the picture on the screen; a sleeping Mia on Bruno's chest. Tears start to form in Scorpia's eyes as she looks at the little girl and her big brother.

Dino eats the last bite of steak, takes a sip from his beer and says: "I can't imagine a more loving family for her." Scorpia nods and looks into the watery eyes of her brother. They look at each other in silence. There's are no words needed at this moment.

The Gentile clan gets up from the long table and two of them walk over to the bar to settle the bill. The rest of the guys put their coats on, wave at Scorpia and Dino, and walk out.

Marco walks up to their table and wishes them a good night. He walks out through the front door too. Logan cleans the big table and puts all the chairs back in their place. He comes over to pick up Dino's empty plate and walks into the kitchen.

Dino gets up and says: "Lock the door behind me. See you later my sweet sister." She walks with him towards the door, hugs him, and locks the door behind him. She picks up the empty glass and beer bottle from the table, entering the kitchen a bit nervously.

Logan is filling up the dishwasher and she moves closer to him to hand him her glass. He takes the glass from her without looking her in the eye and she sits down on the kitchen table.

She studies him and tries to figure out what is going on. She feels her stress levels rise and sighs. He starts the dishwasher and turns around to her. He notices the expression on her face and strokes her cheek. "Bonnie."

She looks sad and asks: "What's wrong Logan?"

"Bonnie... I don't think I ended things properly with Dani. Not properly at all. I sent her a text message saying I didn't want to see her anymore and ignored all of her messages since then. And if she keeps working for you and becomes part of our lives somehow..."

Scorpia looks him dead in the eye and says: "Maybe you should find out if there's still something there between you two."

"No Bonnie! There definitely isn't from my side. But maybe I should try and explain to her how much you mean to me. For her. To help her move on."

Scorpia searches his eyes for the things he's not saying out loud. "Logan? What is it that you're not telling me?"

Logan rubs his neck and says: "She was here this afternoon. She told me she still loved me and couldn't believe I loved you more. She asked me to think about it and left."

Scorpia jumps from the table and takes a few steps away from him. "Maybe you should. Think about it. Without me here."

"Fuck Bonnie!" He runs up to her, lifts her up, and pushes her back against the wall. She wraps her legs around his waist automatically and he kisses her wildly. His eyes pierce through hers and he says: "I'm not doing a damn thing without you. Do you hear me? I am never letting you go. Ever. I love you, Bonnie. With everything I have. Ti amo."

She stares into his eyes and says: "You'll have to talk to her then. And make it crystal clear to her. Because I was already feeling uncomfortable with it all, but it's a lot worse now. And I will end up hating her. Which is not fair if you were the one who started to ignore her. And even though there was no love from your end, she thinks it was. And thinks she still has a shot."

Logan stares at her and she feels how tense he is. "Talk to her. Tomorrow. Until she gets it. We're dropping it for now. Hold me handsome Scot."

She takes her shirt off and Logan's mouth finds one of her nipples quickly. She moans softly and pulls his hair. He massages her other breast and sucks on her nipple. His hand slides down and pulls at the cord of her sweatpants, making it drop to the floor. He looks down and gasps.

She can tell by the look on his face that he is about to scold her for sitting in the cafe without any underwear on but quickly bites his bottom lip. Her tongue slides in his mouth and she plays with his. He moans and pushes her against the wall with more force. He holds her up with one arm trying to open his jeans with his injured hand.

He groans annoyed and Scorpia pushes him back a little and helps him out. She steals his wallet and looks for a condom in it. She finds it and tosses the wallet aside. 

She whispers in his ear: "Put me down handsome. I'll help you with this."

He puts her down gently and she tugs his jeans and boxers down. She grins at the sight of his rock hard member. She opens the condom packet and grabs a firm hold of his dick. He gasps and she kneels down. She sucks the tip of the condom into her mouth and leans forward. She rolls the condom down over his cock with her hand, following the path with her mouth.

Logan moans and she gets back up slowly. He puts his good hand behind her knee and lifts her leg, before thrusting into her wetness wildly. She yelps and he grins down at her. She pulls him down for a kiss and they kiss as wild as he thrusts. It doesn't take them long to see stars together, high on each other's love. 

He whispers her name as his whole body stiffens. 

She screams his, while trembling all over.

Scorpia slowly wakes up the next morning and hears Logan snore softly. She turns to her side to look at him. They spent the remainder of the night in each other's arms and she didn't have time to tell him she has the day off today. She shuffles closer to him and he automatically wraps his arm around her. She kisses the tattoo on his chest and strokes his back.

"Mmm. Good morning Bonnie."

"Morning."

"Shit! What's the time! You're going to be late for work!"

She chuckles softly and stays relaxed.

"Bonnie?"

"Yes?" She opes her eyes and looks at him with dreamy eyes.

He strokes her cheek and asks: "Don't you have to leave for work?"

She shakes her head and kisses him slowly. "I'm going to change the hours I work, but we'll discuss that later."

Logan kisses her neck and strokes her belly. "Mmm, that means we can stay in bed all morning, right?"

Scorpia sighs and says: "No because you need to talk to Dani. As soon as possible."

Logan moans and says: "No. I have you all to myself. Why would I see her?"

"Because I will never be able to relax again if you don't. The thought is killing me. So please talk to her today. For me."

Logan sighs and says: "You're right. But I don't want to. I just want her to stay away, forever."

"There's only one way to get that wish granted. By convincing her that she doesn't stand a chance of being with you. Ever."

Logan pulls Scorpia in for a hug and cuddles her. "I will do whatever it takes. I'll send her a message right now. To get the first step out of the way." He grabs his phone, sends the message, and immediately receives a reply. "She'll be here at ten."

"Okay. I'll make sure I'm gone by then."

"But Bonnie..."

"No, I don't want to see her. And I am not going to eavesdrop on your conversation like a jealous girlfriend. I don't trust her. But I do trust you. I don't have to be here." 

She walks over to the closet and pulls her leather pants from it. She gets dressed quickly. Stiletto boots, leather pants, and a black T-shirt. She grabs her leather jacket and gloves and puts them down on the bed.

Logan gets dressed too, while Scopria is in the bathroom. She walks out with a bit of mascara and lipgloss on, wearing a bright smile.

Logan looks at her and says: "You've missed spending time with Ombra. That's clear."

Scorpia smiles and says: "Yes. I really need to ride her for a bit. It makes me happy. I'll go to the hotel. Chat with everyone there, without having to work."

Logan sighs and nods.

They go downstairs and drink a cup of coffee together. As soon as it's nine-thirty she gets up and kisses him. "Good luck handsome Scot. See you later."

She puts her coat and gloves on, shoves the helmet over her head, and gets onto the bike. She takes the long way over to the hotel and enjoys the freedom she feels when she rides Ombra. 

She arrives at the hotel and parks it in front of the door. She swings her leg over the seat and takes her helmet off.

She strolls through the door and waves at the completely stunned Annette. 

She walks up to her office and throws the door open. 

She freezes on the spot and can't believe her eyes.

She looks straight into the eyes of a smirking Dani, who is bent over Ciro's desk, while Ciro thrusts into her.

Scorpia swears, Ciro looks up at her and she turns around. She tries to run away but bumps into Dino, who is instantly worried and asks her what's wrong.

"Let me fucking go, Dino! Ciro is fucking that damn bitch! In MY office! While Logan is waiting for her in the cafe!"

"Who?"

"Dani!"

Dino swears and says: "What? I fucked her last night..."

Scorpia is exploding with anger and frees herself from Dino's hold. "You can all choke on it! I'm out!" She runs outside and jumps onto the bike.

Dino looks into the office and watches his brother trying to finish what he started. He steps into the office and says: "I think Logan is waiting for you Dani. Was last night not satisfying enough? Or did you come up with it all to hurt my sister?"

He looks Ciro in the eye and yells: "And you are an asshole! I hope you wrapped it up because my cock was in that same hole last night! And god knows who else she fucks. And you have just lost your sister! I hope for your sake that she doesn't relapse! Because I will shoot you in the head! Brother or not!"

Dino storms out, leaving Ciro confused and frustrated.

Scorpia can only think of one person, one place to go to. She races over to the gym and rushes in. She opens the locker that holds her spare workout clothes and pulls them out. She gets dressed quickly and starts jumping rope.

She drops the rope and starts punching the boxing bag with her bare hands. She hasn't even looked for Bruno yet, she needs to get rid of this anger first. She feels the shadows tempting her and beats the boxing bag up some more, while the tears stream down her face.

Bruno saw her come in and noticed right away. He knows she needs to work through the worst of her anger first before he can find out what's going on. He sends a message to Ricardo, telling him he's worried about Scorpia. Ricardo says he's ready to help as soon as Bruno thinks it's necessary.

He notices the tears on her cheeks and walks over to her carefully. "Sorellina? What's wrong girl?"

She throws herself into his arms and cries her heart out. "Oh Bruno... Dani... She told Logan she still loves him and she was supposed to be in the cafe at ten to talk to him.

Logan was going to make it clear to her that he doesn't have any feelings for her and loves me with all his heart. I wanted to give him space, so I went to the hotel on Ombra. I walk into my office and what do I find?"

She swears and turns around to hit the boxing bag again. "Ciro. Fucking that whore on the desk. And as I run out, I find out Dino was screwing her last night."

Bruno groans and says: "She was here last night as well. Threw her out. Tramp." Scorpia turns around and stares at him wide-eyed and he says: "She tried to seduce me. That bitch is insane."

Scorpia says: "Oh god. She is alone with Logan. Right now. In the cafe." 

She rushes into the dressing room, changes, and storms out. 

Bruno yells after her to be safe and sends a message to Ricardo right away.

She parks the bike in the driveway and walks up to the back door.

Nothing could have prepared her for what her eyes see as soon as she opens the door.

Dani is kissing Logan, pushing him against the wall with her body. 

The same wall Scorpia was pushed up against last night.

She drops her helmet and Logan pushes Dani away forcefully.

Dani turns her head to Scorpia with a foul grin on her face and that's when something snaps. She grabs a firm hold of Dani's blonde bun and pulls her through the cafe, towards the entrance. She opens the door and drags the lawyer across the sidewalk.

She stares into Dani's eyes and sees the fear in there. The fear of losing her life and that only feeds Scorpia's rage more.

"This is where you belong. On the streets. As the goddamn whore you are! I hope you enjoyed it all because your life ends here. Today. In front of the cafe of the man you claim to love!" 

Her eyes are almost black, consumed by hate as she spits on the blonde bitch at her feet. 

She pulls her arm back with her fist clenched and...

Well, there you have it. Chapter 46.

I could tell you there's meaning to my madness.
But I am pretty sure you don't want to hear that right now.

Anything you'd like to share? 

I'll see you tomorrow.

Hankie.
