“Even if they have, it might be best if they kept an eye on him while we take some time to come down from this morning. I don’t think you’re ready to face him after what just happened.”
“I can do whatever I need to do.”
“I didn’t say you couldn’t do it. I just think it would be better if you had some time to process all of this.”
“What the fuck good will it do to sit around talking about it?”
“I actually thought you might want to take it out on me.” I sensed his eyes on me then. I glanced over and watched his hungry gaze drift down my body.
“Take it out on you?”
I grinned. “It seemed to do you a lot of good the other night.”
“Matteo, I don’t?—”
“I would love to give you that. I enjoyed every second of what you did to me, the way you punished me, the way you used me to make yourself feel better. You can be as rough with me as you want. You need to take the edge off before you talk to Landon.”
“We don’t even know if he’s been located.”
“So let’s find out.”
Carter pulled out his phone and put it on speaker. Miles answered after a few rings. “Any word on Landon?”
“Have you seen your father?” Their questions clashed into each other.
“Yes,” I answered. “Dear ole dad is still the asshole he’s always been, and he says he doesn’t know where Landon is.”
“I see Matteo is there too.”
“He never leaves my side now,” Carter said.
“Well, you do need a babysitter right now.”
Carter scowled at the phone. “Fuck off. Have you learned anything?”
“Landon hasn’t been located yet. We found some places he’s been, but not where he is currently. We’re closing in, though. I think we’ll catch up to him soon.”
“We’re going to go back to my cabin and wait there.”
“So in other words you’re going to?—”
“Don’t, Miles. Just don’t.”
Carter used his scariest voice, but Miles just laughed. “I’m sure you need it.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of him,” I said.
Miles huffed. “I don’t doubt it. Carter, what did you learn from your father?”
“He didn’t kill my mother; my brother did.”
“Oh my God, Carter. Do you need anything?”
“No, I….” He glanced over at me. “I’ve got Matteo.”
“I’m glad you do.”
I smiled. “I knew you’d come around.”
