I pressed on the screen to flip it back to me, but the buttons weren’t working.
“Veronica, is that you? So, are you spying on me now?” Rupert got close enough to notice who I was talking to.
Shit, I needed to switch off this phone as soon as possible, but then he snatched it and stalked away.
“Damn …” I said to Spencer, who towered over me, still dripping wet. “Why are you staring at me like that?”
“What? I’m admiring your gorgeous body,” he replied with a smirk. “But you really have to do something about that bikini because I’ll be walking around with a permanent hard-on if you keep this up.”
A flush crept over my cheeks. I reminded myself to keep breathing. I was too turned on to think straight, especially when he was standing so close.
“What do you suggest I do in this heat? Wear a coat?”
“I suggest that you stop looking at me like that if you’re not planning to do anything about it,” he growled.
Despite how flustered I was on the inside, I tried to play it cool, so I placed my hands on my hips and stared at him.
“And how am I looking at you?”
His nostrils flared, and his frown deepened. We were standing way too close to each other again, while Maja was still splashing in the pool—she must have jumped back in. I was so glad she couldn’t hear us.
“Like you want me to stop being a real fucking gentleman and demand that you sneak into my room late at night, so we can finally fuck each other’s brains out.” He sounded like he had been thinking about this for a very long time.
I swallowed hard, staring directly into his prominent blue eyes. Speechless.
“And what would happen if I did sneak into your room late at night?” I whispered when I found my voice again. I should back off, but Spencer had put a spell on me, and my body was rooted to the spot.
“I'll make you moan my name while you ride my face,” he whispered back. “So please, woman, stop acting like you don’t feel this incredible pull between us and let me in, or I’ll wait outside your door every night until you do.”
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Spencer
This was going to be so fucking hard because Laura’s tiny bikinis were going to tip me over the edge of my obsession. I wanted to peel them off her with my teeth and then taste her dripping-wet pussy.
That evening, after Rupert had cooked our evening meal, we sat at the table. Maja had been chatting animatedly throughout dinner while the three of us maintained an awkward silence, occasionally stealing glances at each other. I didn't know what Rupert had said to Veronica, but he’d nearly thrown Laura’s phone into the pool. The details of what was going on between them remained a mystery.
The idea of cutting the holiday short crossed my mind. I wasn’t sure if I could deal with blue balls all the fucking time. Laura kept peeking at me, pretending to eat but barely touching her food. Eventually, she excused herself to take Maja upstairs.
I was tired, too. I had promised my daughter a tour of the coastal area and towns beyond the city of Palermo. Another day, we’d be heading to Mount Etna, too.
I was exhausted and ready to head to bed, but I wanted to know why my brother was acting so strangely when it came to Veronica. The opportunity finally arrived when, in the evening, he brought beers and we sat outside on the terrace. We chatted about mundane things until I point-blank asked him what was going on between him and Laura’s roommate since they’d finally been reunited with each other.
Rupert had been talking about a certain red-haired woman from the moment he’d returned from Greece two years ago. He had tried to search for her in London, with no luck.
He took a swig of his beer, looking defeated. “Nothing at the moment. We talked, but I can’t get over the fact that she lied to me.”
“How did she lie to you?” I probed, recalling the night I’d mistaken Laura for an escort.
Massaging the back of his neck, he hesitated before saying, “When we met at that bar in Greece, she told me she worked as an air hostess. We got a bit wasted before going back to my hotel. The sex was incredible, mind-blowing.”
It didn't surprise me that Veronica had lied to him. She was an exclusive escort, and honesty wasn’t her forte. “And you found out what she did for a living when you saw her with Laura in the club after that video went viral?”
“Some guy showed me the video, and I planned to call her. I had already invested the money in Emperor before I knew she worked for Matthews. When he mentioned her exclusive clients, I felt betrayed. I told her to take the video down, and we argued,” Rupert explained, his disappointment clear. “I know I told you not to mess with the nanny, but I think you should go for it now.”
“What? Earlier you said it was a bad idea.”
“This tension between you two is getting to me, man. Just fuck her and get it over with.”
