THIRTY-ONE
ANTHONY
I didn’t have shit.
I was flying by the seat of my pants. A week after learning about Sunrise I found out Messina Associates was leveraged to the hilt. While I’d been dealing with enemies to punish, my father ran the company into the fucking ground.
I fired the CFO and needed Rebecca more than ever.
I needed her to clean up my company, and I needed Domenico Holdings’ cash.
Rebecca had a soft spot in our cruel, harsh world and so I brought her here tonight to see what I was capable of in the generosity department.
But first I had to make a scene. Stick to the plan. Ruin her character to the people she wanted to rule.
“Look, I don’t want to be here with someone who’s giving me dirty looks all night,” I said, holding her chin, surprised she let me and didn’t punch me. “So, let’s get the show over with.”
I glanced around. A majority of the people who counted were seated in the courtyard at tables set up under the stars. For a moment, my throat tightened, thinking I could try another approach. Be my charming self and seriously seduce her.
“What do you suggest?” Despite her head held high and that I-don’t-give-a-fuck look on her face, Bastien had hurt her. She was wounded. Old wounds I might be able to heal once and for all. But humiliating her the other night the way he did surely hurt more. I had a better chance now than ever. Any scabs that had formed from Bastien breaking up with her got ripped open. I could either dump salt in them or caress them with a soft healing balm.
Like my cum.
My charm was rusty. I needed her charged up to be affected by it. “Get in there. We’re at table 2. Be prepared.” I grabbed her face and devoured her with an open-mouth kiss.
An explosive shock fired through my system, feeling her lips on mine again. My body tensed up and ached to feel more. More of everything. Her lips. Her arms. And yes, her pussy. It all coalesced in this striking moment, feelings for her I’d pushed back since we were in school. I loved her. Wanted her for myself. Feelings I kept hidden because she was with Bastien.
Now they swamped me, consumed me. Doomed me.
Letting go, that mad-fire wash of arousal made me dizzy. Becca looked out of her depth too. She licked those pillowy velvet lips, soft and wet. God, how they’d feel around my cock.
“Go sit,” I said, watching her walk away stunned, almost wobbling.
Vale followed her, glaring at me. I had a Kershaw boot knife on my ankle I could yank out and throw before he cocked his gun. Reggie and Mark lurked in the shadows, giving me space. No one in their right mind would fuck with me.
Rebecca now knew she’d been promised to me. That secret finally out. Her showing up on my arm tonight also told everyone here she knew. And that she would make good on her father’s promise. Rage soared through me at what Bastien had done. Not because he stuck his dick in her mouth. That was fun as fuck to watch as teenagers. But to do that in a room full of people who knew she was mine was pure disrespect. In our world, we don’t only punish men for touching what belonged to us.
Women were punished. too. It was expected.
She was mine, now.
I had to go remind her of that. And everyone in that courtyard.
