VINCENT
Natalia was proving to be a very good nurse.
She called us multiple times a day when she first started staying with Levin. Then Levin started calling once he was up and moving about.
Nearly two weeks into his recovery, he was on the phone bitching to Dom while I kissed on Bianca in their room. I’d had to head off Celeste so many damn times that I’d switched up my walking route just to avoid her. I’d told her Levin was hurt and recovering, which had set the bitch off. All she wanted to do was visit him. Eventually, I told her to call his ass. If he answered, he could deal with her.
He still hadn’t spoken to B. He’d asked me about her the first time we spoke, but after that, it was radio silence. B hadn’t said anything about calling him. I suspected she was nervous, so I didn’t push the subject with her.
I wasn’t sure if them keeping their distance from one another was a good thing or not. I did know Levin was still talking to Celeste.
“He is?” Dom asked into the phone, his voice colored with surprise. “Really?”
I pushed B onto her back and slid my hand beneath her skirt.
“Vinny,” she murmured, her fingers raking through my hair.
I hadn’t fucked her since the night of the reception. Even Fallon had been left out in the cold with pussy. Dom insisted on hogging her, and it was starting to piss me off. He was becoming more obsessed with her getting pregnant, which was leaving the rest of us out in the damn cold. I didn’t know how Fallon did it. His right hand had to have hella muscles at this point.
“Yes. Set it up…. I’ll be there tonight.” Dom hung up the phone.“Vin, enough,” he barked at me.
I let out an exasperated groan and pulled away from B, who pouted.
“Man, for a guy who promised to share, you’re sure a fucking cockblock. I haven’t been laid in almost two weeks. If you aren’t going let me fuck B, then you’d better put out for me.”
Dom ignored me and grabbed his glasses. He slid them on and stared down at his phone for a minute before finally answering, his brow raised as he looked at me, “You couldn’t handle me, Vin.”
“What?” I sat up straighter and looked from B, whose eyes widened, back to Dom, who was scrolling through his phone, his dark brows knit.
“Isn’t that what you wanted to hear?” He peeked over at me. “Or no?”
“I’ll try anything once,” I muttered, thinking back to me and Levin with B.
I noticed how B perked up. She wanted to see it, and I’d give her whatever she wanted. It was all about her anyway. I had no real interest in men, other than doing whatever she asked for. Maybe that counted though. I didn’t give a fuck either way. I just liked making her feel good, which in turn made me feel good. I didn’t care who was stroking my cock if it meant she was smiling. I wasn’t so uptight about my sexuality that I wouldn’t experiment. It all felt good to me.
Dom smirked at me before turning to face B. “I’m going to pick up Levin.”
She sat up. “I-is he OK?”
“He’s fine. He’s ready to get back to work. He wanted to last week, but I wouldn’t let him.” Dom glanced to me. “Vander Veer is delivering. Tonight. We’re going to meet with him to get the supply.”
“You trust him?” B asked.
“Yes. He hates the Ivanovs, and he hates my old man more. Anything to fuck both is right up his alley. Plus, I have cash and an intent to fuck up their lives. He doesn’t need much more motivation than that,” Dom said.
“It’s true,” I assured B. “He was entertaining the deal with Ivanov because I suspect he just wanted to fuck them over somehow.”
“What makes you think he won’t fuck you guys over?” B demanded. “I’m sure he isn’t going to come out and tell you he hates you.”
“That’s why I’m taking Celeste with me. I’ll kill her if he tries to fuck with me.”
B’s eyes widened more. “You’re taking her to see Levin.”
“B,” I warned.
“We’re in a bit of a shit spot, wife.” Dom put his phone away and adjusted his glasses. “I have a few loyal men. My father has the rest. I’m recruiting. I’m going to be fighting from every fucking side. I need whatever I can get, and that means doing things I wish I didn’t have to do. If Levin needs to fuck his girlfriend to do it, I’ll hold his dick for him so he can. This is war, and it isn’t always fought the way you think it is. Sometimes we have to get dirty and do shit we don’t want to do. You saw it firsthand when I had Natalia on her knees.”
B glared at him but didn’t bite back.
“When are we leaving?” I asked.
“You’re not. I’m going to grab Celeste then meet up with Levin. Natalia has the Hummer, so she’s taking Levin to the drop-off, and I’m picking him up then she’s returning to the safe house. I need you and Vasiliev here with Bianca to make sure she’s safe.”
“So you’re going with just Levin?” Bianca’s voice held a note of alarm. “That’s not nearly enough backup if you’re ambushed and he’s luring you out.”
“I love the way you think.” Dom stomped forward and leaned over B, pressing his lips to hers. “That’s why you’re my queen.”
“Don’t go,” she whispered, twisting her fingers into his black button-down. “I don’t want something to happen to you or Levin.”
“I’ll be fine. I’ll bring a few of the court if it’ll make you feel better.”
