Maybe I’m being overprotective, but what the fuck?
“No one enjoys messing with Scarlett and her henchmen.”
“Scarlett and her henchmen?” I repeat it as if he’s insulted me.
Insulted us.
“Miss Barbieri is a duchess, and those men are basically her henchmen who enjoy following her like she’s a fucking goddess,” Ares grumbles.
“And?” I need more because I know she has to be important if Domino isn’t doing shit.The man hates me but isn’t giving this woman and her posse of testosterone fuckers shit for trying to hurt his royal comrade?
“Domino’s ex,” Zander answers my prime question as he slowly rises up.
“Ah.” The way I begin to smile while my mind spins with various ideas has Domino’s hands gripping my arms, drawing my attention back to him.
“Don’t.”
“Don’t what?”
“Disobey me,” he argues.
“Funny,” I begin and proceed to tug my arms out of his grip and swiftly walk away toward the group in question. “You never gave me an order, my Ruthless King.”
“Iva,” Domino hisses, but I’m already approaching the group, which immediately straightens up at my approach.
Scarlett is off her little makeshift stool and standing at her full height. We’re exactly the same height with heels, which is perfect when we face one another.
“Now, who might you be?” she asks in intrigue, though she’s looking at me from head to toe.
Immediately belittling my existence.
“I just wanted to introduce myself,” I try to talk sweetly, but it’s fake as fuck.Oh well.“Verena or Gemini. Take your pick.”
“Verena or Gemini?” she mocks and rolls her eyes. “I’ll probably forget both of them before the end of morning period.
“Good,” I sweetly declare. “Yours is Scarlett, yes?”
“Yes. Scarlett Barbieri,” she formally states.
“I’ll make sure to forget it when we enter the courtyard,” I say with a wink and turn around, my very long strands flicking right into her face.
She huffs at the light assault, but before she can say a word, I’m taking three steps forward.
“Aim anything at my Ruthless Kings again and you’ll enjoy me beating you at your own game, Scarlett,” I vow.
“Excuse you?” she comments, but I’m walking away.
By the time I return to my group, I take Ares and Zander’s hands and tug them forward, leaving Domino to stand there like the stupid idiot he is.
“Sweet Dynamite, you’re diabolical!” Zander gasps. A glance over my shoulder confirms how flabbergasted he is by my spontaneous actions.
“Or completely insane,” Ares mutters but sounds like he’s happy as fuck. “You want to start a war?”
“If we do, will we lose?” I question and move my gaze between them as they take the lead in their strides, so I’m being pulled by them.
“Never,” Zander hums with pride.
“We’ll have the advantage,” Ares vouches. “Domino, hurry the fuck up,” he calls out in annoyance, making me look back to confirm Domino is at least five steps behind us.
