“She’s going to be suspicious either way, but I’ll at least find a reason why I’m not at home and can’t answer my damn phone, okay?”
“Don’t give me attitude, amore. I didn’t tell you to be sneaking around with your fucking piece-of-shit boss.”
“Is that what you think I was doing there? I was about to get assaulted by the asshole and tried to run when you showed up—for your information.”
“What the fuck?” I’m on my feet and out of our bedroom in seconds. I come to a full stop and turn back around. “Stay fucking put. Take a shower and get into bed. You can put on anything in the drawers, or you can sleep naked if you please, but I’m dealing with Coleman now. I should have killed him before,” I say, finishing that last sentence under my breath before storming away, locking the bedroom door.
Rage drives me to where Coleman is being held. It’s not exactly on the property. See, where the kittens are is a farm, and it’s where we have some special animals and some of our clean-up work is done there.
Luca and two other soldiers are waiting with my nemesis. “Come on, Dario, can’t we come to a deal? You took my waitress anyway.”
“She wasn’t yours to give away. May is mine and has always been.” My blood pressure skyrockets, and all I want to do is shoot him in the head. What I need to know is if there are any more girls on the trading block that we need to free.
“What were you and Johnson running?”
“Nothing, absolutely nothing.”
“Bullshit, Coleman. I know you were trafficking girls, and my woman was next on your fucking list, as well as her sister and roommate.”
“Fuck, that pussy couldn’t keep his fucking shit together and stay quiet, could he?”
“Well, you don’t need to worry about him anymore because he’s dead and you’re about to join him.” I grab a fist full of his hair, pulling his head forward and dragging him off the chair and onto the tarp on the floor.
“Wait, wait. If I tell you, will you spare me?”
“You have my word. I’ll let you live.”
“Okay, so we’re working with this reporter and cop who comes into my shop. He helps us hide the girls’ disappearances. Unfortunately, the reporter’s new assistant is getting a little too suspicious. Luckily, she’s hot and will be joining the rest of the women.”
“Who is the reporter?”
“I never met the reporter, but the cop is Nick Thompson.” I release him and then nod to Luca before walking out the door. Coleman stumbles to his feet, and then Luca shoves him to the ground. “Wait, I thought we had a deal?”
“I said I’d let you live. I didn’t say fucking shit about Luca. He lost his sister to fuckers like you.” With one quick shot, Coleman is dead before his body hits the ground.
“That felt good. Thanks.”
“I’m glad I could help. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must welcome my bride to our home.”
“Have a good day, sir.”
“Since everyone is indisposed, I’ll need a witness.”
“I’ll be there when the judge arrives.”
“Thank you, Luca.” I walk out and go in search of the soon-to-be Mrs. Dario Conti.
“Where did you go?”
“Why? Did you miss me?”
“No, but I don’t want to catch any diseases.”
“Sure, amore. That’s truly your concern. Don’t lie. It doesn’t do your pretty face justice. I was dealing with Coleman as I thought you would have surmised with my rapid departure.”
“You killed him?”
“No. I didn’t.”
“Ah, so that’s the way you’re going to play things with me, are you?”
“Don’t know what you mean?”
“Don’t all of a sudden play dumb with me. Word games. You didn’t pull the trigger, snap his neck, stab him, but one of your men did it for you, so technically you didn’t do it, bullshit. Don’t lie to me either. Your handsome face won’t look good with claw marks in it.”
“I knew I picked the right woman.” I pounce right on the bed, trapping her with my larger frame and causing her to let out a gasp.
“Oh yeah? Did you, now? I have no intention of making this easy for you.”
“Good. Then I’ll fucking work for it, amore.” I crush my mouth on hers, parting her lips forcefully, sliding my tongue inside and letting it caress hers.
I flip her onto her back and pull off the damn comforter between us to find her in just my undershirt. Fuck, my dick is so damn hard it could break off, but I won’t slide into her hole until she’s my wife. After that, all bets are off.
“Like what you see?” She tries to be bold, but I read the nervousness and innocent self-doubt that I’ll somehow find her lacking. It’s impossible.
“You know that I do, May. You’re the most beautiful woman ever created.” I swipe my tongue over my lips slowly, staring at my woman like a damn wolf. “I told you I needed my whole meal.” Lowering my head, I kiss her until she’s breathless before sliding down her body. Every inch of her is heated from my touch, burning for me.
