“I’m confused.”
Matteo sighs. “Nikolai is convinced that his guy, Vladimir, didn’t kill my cousin.”
“He didn’t?”
“He called me earlier to tell me he got the evidence to prove it.”
I nod, trying to wrap my head around this whole story. It’s definitely not the kind of thing that usually happens in my life, mainly because my dad always kept me in the dark about pretty much everything. “So now you’re meeting with Nikolai tomorrow so he can show you the evidence?”
“Yes.”
“And you’re going by yourself?”
“No. Zeno and a few of the other guys from the team are coming with me.”
“Okay.” That makes me feel so much better, especially knowing Zeno will be there with him. “Do you think Nikolai’s telling the truth?”
Matteo’s forehead wrinkles. “Honestly, I’m not sure. Tommaso, my cousin, he got into drugs pretty badly. When we found him, we immediately assumed he’d overdosed, but then we saw the bags with the drugs next to his body, and it hadItalian bastardwritten on it in Russian. We knew he got his drugs from the Russians, but at least their products are good quality. Tommaso met with Vladimir that night, so we put two and two together, especially once Vladimir disappeared.”
“Shit, I’m sorry. I can’t even imagine finding someone like that.”
Matteo shrugs. “We knew it was going to happen eventually, but we can’t just let someone kill him and not pay.”
I stay quiet, not sure how to respond, my mind still going over all of this information until something stops me mid-thought. “What are you going to do if Nikolai is telling the truth and it wasn’t one of his guys who killed Tommaso?”
His gaze locks with mine, his hand rubbing soothing circles on my back. “Then I’ll reevaluate. If it really wasn’t Vladimir, I hope that whatever proof Nikolai has might be able to tell us who actually did it.”
“That makes sense.”
I get lost in my thoughts once more, a swirling mess of Nikolai and Ally, my dad and Emilio, the arranged marriage to him and my actual marriage to Matteo, now myhusband, and the chaos all of this will unfurl. Because there’s no way my dad will just let me walk away like this. I’m his prized possession, and there will be consequences to pay. One way or another.
Chapter20
Matteo
“Again.” I pump my fingers in and out of Gemma’s soaking wet pussy and latch on to her clit once more.
“I can’t. It’s too much.”
“Just one more, baby. Then you can ride my cock.” Pleasuring Gemma has quickly become one of my favorite things to do. After our conversation yesterday, we had a nice dinner before we consummated this marriage. Over and over, all evening, in the middle of the night, an hour ago while it was still dark, and now again as the sun is rising beyond the city.
Gemma whimpers when I suck on her clit exactly the way she likes it. Her inner walls tighten around my fingers as the orgasm rocks through her and she cries out her release. Her cum runs down my fingers, and I leave my position between her legs to sit up on my knees and rub my wet hand all over my cock, stroking it a few times. Fuck, that feels good.
“Mmmm.” Gemma’s propped up on her elbows, watching me with excitement in her eyes.
I love she’s so into sex and is as eager to learn as she is to please.
“You want some of this, baby?” My grip on my cock tightens, and I slowly lose control. That’s what she does to me. Mywife.
She nods and licks her lips, her gaze fixed on my dick.
I get off the bed and pat the end of it. “Come here and lie on your back with your head hanging off the edge.”
The little minx makes her way over to me on all fours, her tits swaying, and her eyes never leaving mine.
Fuck. I’m not going to last long.
She gets into position and blinks up at me, waiting to be told what to do next.
