I decided it was time to excuse myself.“I'm going to shower.We can meet back here in a half hour or so to make lunch?”
Eve looked at me and nodded.“Yeah, I'll make sure our chat,” she briefly glared over at Carlo, “is done by then.”He grabbed her hand and started walking them out of the kitchen, in the direction of Stefan's office.
Yikes.
I opened the fridge and grabbed an apple.I took a quick bite.“Yum,” I said as the juicy apple exploded in my mouth.Cool, crisp, and clean.
I wasn’t quite ready to go upstairs.The wall of windows was calling to me, so I walked over and stared outside for a while.Then I decided I really needed a shower.
Because I did.
And if I didn't shower now—I might not get another chance to take one until tonight.
So, I wandered through the dining room and up the stairs.Except when I got halfway up—I got a weird feeling in my stomach.Eve had been really mad at Carlo.
I didn't know Carlo very well.Like, hardly at all.
Zero.
Yes, he was Stefan's brother.And Stefan seemed to like him.Obviously, Dani liked him.He was her father, though.And she was a super sweet little girl.Not a reliable judge of character.
What if Carlo was someone who got mad?
Like, mad, mad?
Stefan and Nick were upstairs with the kids.
And I'd just told them I was going up for a shower.
Which meant Carlo would know that nobody would be around.Was I leaving Eve in a vulnerable situation?
I mean, yes, she currently lived with the man.With three other people and a houseful of kids, too.But she still knew him.Really knew him.
Even so.
Something in my stomach wouldn't let this go.My shower could wait until I checked on Eve and made sure she was okay.
I hustled down the stairs and made my way through the dining room and kitchen.I took the long hallway more slowly, waiting to hear loud voices.
Nothing.
I continued sneaking closer to Stefan's office.
My ears perked up.I definitely heard some kind of noise.
I tiptoed closer to the windows around the open door.And stopped.
My hands immediately covered my chest as I silently gasped.
“Oh, yeah,” Carlo said, thrusting inside Eve.She was on Stefan's desk, leaning back on her hands—
Blouse open.
Breasts out for Carlo to enjoy.And trust me, he was enjoying them.A lot.
While—
He fucked her.
