A few of the men snickered, and I shot them a scowl. “I didn’t ask for your opinions.”
“I’ve never seen either of them so volatile,” the one who’d answered my earlier questions stated.
“They bring out the best in each other,” I muttered as I made my way to the residential section of the house.
Nerine’s shout of “You’re a fucking asshole!” reached my ears when my foot hit the landing near her bedroom.
Then came Theo’s, “And you’re a spoiled child who needs to grow the hell up.”
I hurried to the room, knowing this would end with her shooting or fucking him, and neither was an option.
I stepped through the doorway to see Nerine hurl one of her boots directly at Theo’s head and him ducking and ready to retaliate.
“How dare you call me a child. You have no idea what I’ve endured.”
“You aren’t the only one who’s suffered.”
“Were you forced to marry and fuck a man thirty years older than you?”
Theo stepped toward Nerine, clenching his jaw. “I lost my mother to this life, then my whole family. You still have your mother and sisters.”
“Is this a game of tit for tat?”
I had to find a way to get these two under control. Nerine teetered on powder-keg mode, which meant if Theo kept poking at her, there was no telling what she’d do.
And after everything that had happened in the limo, our emotions were too charged to think rationally.
“The two of you need to simmer down.”
Ignoring me, Theo took another step in Nerine’s direction. “This isn’t a game at all, brat. Only a child would say it’s a game.”
“Call me a child again, and I’ll punch you in the face.” She smacked her fist against her palm. “Those assassins taught me more than you can imagine. I will fuck you up.”
He lifted and then pointed at his chin. “Give it your best shot, Angel.”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake.” I ran to intercept Nerine as she charged for Theo.
Her body collided with my front as Theo’s hit my back. I held Nerine by the waist, trying to steady and push her back. At the same time, Theo fisted her hair, pulling her forward, and she reached over my shoulder and clawed at his forearms.
“You’re a jackass,” Nerine spat. “I hate you.”
Theo jerked her closer, sandwiching me harder between them. “Feeling’s mutual, brat.”
“You two need to calm the hell down before this goes too far.” I threw my head back, willing the biting lust surging forward to ease to something manageable, less demanding.
This was how it had always started—an epic fight between these two morons and me standing in the middle.
The energy in the room seemed to crackle, and my idiot cock wanted to join the party.
Breathing through the raging need, I made the mistake of looking down.
Nerine’s livid attention connected with mine right as she grabbed my shirt.
“You mean like this?” She jerked me toward her, covering her lips with mine.
Her essence exploded against my mouth, causing every one of my good intentions to evaporate into thin air.
My palm slid up her back, dragging her against me. I feasted on her, knowing the memories of the past were nothing compared to the reality of this woman here and now. She tasted better than the rarest scotch, intoxicating, decadent, indulgent.
