In shock, all Damien could do was stare.
“My brother was close with my father, so naturally, we became enemies. We haven’t spoken since the day…and it’s been five years.”
Damien’s eyes were still wide. “Jesus…that’s heavy.”
“Now I need to make peace with my brother if I ever want to vindicate myself.”
“What are the odds of that happening?”
“Pretty much none.”
He drank his entire glass of scotch, as if he needed the booze in his blood to digest what I’d said. “Have you ever considered just telling Sofia about all of this? Maybe if she knew, it would be a much more convenient shortcut.”
I gave him an incredulous look. “You literally just talked about how crazy we sound. What the hell is she going to think?”
He shrugged. “She trusts you.”
“Even if she did believe me, what’s that going to accomplish?”
“I don’t know… Maybe she’d been more open-minded about giving you a chance.”
“No. That’s not how I want it to be. It’d be a much more romantic story if I won her over and then told her everything.”
“Don’t want to rain on your parade or anything, but you have no idea if that’s going to happen. You just said you have to get your psychotic brother to forgive you for murdering your father…and that’s not going to be easy.”
“Telling her now won’t help, so that’s out.”
Damien stopped arguing with me. “I’m surprised you aren’t home with her now. She seemed anxious to see you.”
If I had it my way, I would put my entire life on hold so I could stay in bed with her forever. “I’ve got shit to do. And I have to figure this out soon.”
“We need to figure out what to do about Maddox too. Have you considered what I said?”
“Yeah…a bit.”
“I think we should keep going. When he comes for us, we come for him harder.”
I didn’t like that idea, but I didn’t know what else to do. Letting my company fall apart would affect every other part of my life. It would even affect my clients with the bank. If I looked like the pussy that got bested, I would never reclaim my reputation.
“Let’s get all our resources together and prepare for war. We take him out once and for all.”
“If it were that simple, we would have done it already…”
“But we’ve never really tried. We’ve been avoiding it for years because it’s too challenging. But if we do, put everything on the table, we could get everything we’ve ever wanted—”
“Or lose it all.”
I was in the car on my way home when Sofia called.
I answered in the back seat, watching the ancient buildings pass as we drove down the narrow streets. “Hey, baby.” I lifted my wrist to look at the time. It was almost nine, so I was much later than I usually was.
“I haven’t heard from you all day…wanted to see if you were alright.”
I liked it when she checked up on me. Made me feel like she loved me…even if she didn’t. Now that I knew she was my soul mate, I was much more patient about the situation. Maybe she couldn’t give me what I wanted right now, but she was the woman I was meant to be with, so I would bust my ass until I could free her mind from this mental cell. “I was at Damien’s, talking about work.”
“How’s he doing?”
“Looks like shit. Nothing new.”
“Will he be okay on his own?”
“He wants the privacy.” Couldn’t exactly bring hookers to my place, especially when my bedroom was so close.
“Yeah…he mentioned that.”
“I’ll be home in less than ten minutes.”
“Alright. See you soon.” Her dreamy voice disappeared, and the line went dead.
I kept the phone to my ear even though she was gone. I loved the sexy noises she made, the way she pronounced every word like she was making a speech. She was a woman of class, full of elegance that had been ingrained in her DNA. I finally dropped the phone from my ear, wishing I could tell her about everything…but I couldn’t.
My back was against the wooden headboard with my knees apart. My hands gripped the backs of her thighs, and I helped her rise up and down even though she seemed athletic enough to do it on her own. She rode me from the crown of my cock all the way to the base, pushing white cream around my balls before she rose again. With her shaking tits and bouncing hair, she was a fucking fantasy.
I kept coming…over and over.
Her tight body was covered in sweat because she was working hard to please me the way I pleased her. She never took a break or asked for a new position, as if she were trying to prove something to me.
Like she needed to prove anything.
The sweat coating her skin made it shine, made her tits glow. Her nipples would harden and soften over and over again as her desire reached critical heights then softened after a climax.
