I didn’t look at her. I shouldn’t have manhandled her like that, but the last few days did absolutely nothing to improve my mood.
“Now who’s being a bastard?” I snarled. “Don’t waste your time being nice to me when you’re banging three other guys right in front of me. You can suck their cocks if you want someone to be nice to you. Don’t come crawling to me for it.”
She whipped around with a shocked gasp, but I didn’t even look at her. Let her take that to the bank. Maybe then she would finally realize the position she put me in. “What the hell are you talking about?”
“Don’t play innocent. Do you think I could guard you day and night without seeing and hearing everything you do? You really got your bread buttered on the right side, don’t you? You can play the cock-tease all you want with them, and leave me out of it.”
I glanced at her just long enough to see her gaping at me with her mouth open. Then I turned back to the window.
There. I said it. Now she knew I saw and heard her getting nailed and skewered and boned to the end of the world by all three of those guys. She even boned Leo Evangelista, her father’s best friend.
I didn’t tell her how much it turned me on to hear her yelping on Leo’s desk or gasping in her bedroom when no one knew Romeo was sneaking in through the window.
And then there were all those late-night walks she took with Cesare. They kept it in the dark, but I would have to be in a coma not to realize what they were doing.
Fuck, she looked incredible taking it like a little bitch in the woods. She glowed in ways she never did in everyday life. She moved that tight little body like nobody’s business, and she loved it.
Thinking that made me want to gouge my own eyes out. She would never look like that for me. She would never gasp and arch her back for me. She would never take me deep and hard or let me spank that ass the way she did with the other three.
That was the worst of it. She gave them everything and held nothing back. All I got to do was watch and ache for her.
Each of them had the power to become a don in their own right. Cesare and Romeowouldbecome dons, and Leo was one smile away from becomingherdon.
“I’m sorry,” she finally said. “I didn’t realize you had to… I mean, I should have been more careful.”
“You should have been more careful not to be such a filthy slut,” I growled. “What the fuck do you care what I think? You probably liked shoving my face in it now that you know…”
I broke off and didn’t say it. I shouldn’t even be talking to her. I should have pretended she wasn’t even there except to guard her. That was my job, but I couldn’t help resenting it—resenting her.
She snorted under her breath and turned back to the other window. The sound attracted my attention just enough to glance at her. I couldn’t see her expression, but just looking at her flipped a switch in my mind.
“I’m sorry,” I muttered. “I shouldn’t have said that. Just… don’t talk to me at all. I’m not worth it.”
She rotated around to face me, but I couldn’t stand looking into her eyes. I couldn’t stomach thinking she might actually care.
“You better watch your mouth from now on,” she hissed. “I could never give a shit about a piece of gutter trash like you. Just do your fucking job or I’ll get you packed off to the West Coast. Don’t think I can’t do it with a few words to Leo about the way you’ve been acting around me, so you better watch yourself.”
She jerked over to the window and went back to glaring through it. Those words stung, but she was right. I’d been way out of my depth with her for a long time.
She was a don’s daughter and about to become a don’s wife. She did me a giant favor by not reporting me to Leo a long time ago. Leo only trusted me and kept me in this job because Gia didn’t rat me out.
He’d be the first to kick my ass into next week if he knew half the shit I said to her. I scrambled to come up with some way to make it up to her.
I cleared my throat with difficulty and forced myself to face her. “So… which one of them do you think you’ll marry?”
She shrugged. “Maybe none of them.”
“You have to marry one of them! That’s the whole point, isn’t it?”
She turned away from the window. My change in tone must have worked because her expression softened. “I don’t know. I don’t think I can choose. I’m starting to want to keep them all.”
Now it was my turn to gasp. “You filthy little slut! What a tramp you are! Do they know? Do they know you’re slutting around with all of them at the same time?”
She burst into a smile that made my insides clench. Her eyes flicked with fire I had never seen before. Her lips parted, and her cheeks flushed.
My world tipped on its axis as the truth hit me. She was getting excited thinking about it. She liked being a slut… and she liked me calling her one.
“They don’t know. I couldn’t tell them. I just…” She dipped her eyelashes and turned even pinker. “I don’t seem to be able to stop myself. I’m…”
