Henry's gone on one of his runs. Then he's driving out to visit his grandfather's grave. I know, though, he's going to be thinking of Evie too.
Our Duchess.
Fuck. I need to fucking concentrate. It's hard, though, when my cock is dying to be inside her.
Just a few more hours, and I'll be claiming her virgin passage.Five hours. It’s one p.m. now.
I fix the overhead projector, switch it on, and look at the guys.
The only time we gather like this is when we’re at work or having the crazy wild X-rated parties we’re known for.
This time we're gathered in the meeting room of the three-story mansion I share with Henry.
In my presence is Salvatore and his brothers, Nick and Gabriel—Gabe for short. And, my brother Christian, the youngest of the pack, but his age means nothing. The same as mine doesn’t.
It never did. So, when the guys used to get up to all kinds of shit when they were younger and drive our mother's bat shit crazy, I turned a blind eye.
They wouldn't allow Frankie or Vincent to see them, though, just me. That's what makes them perfect for this venture.
We're all cut from the same cloth, and this morning as I finalized all the contracts with the contractors we'll be using to set up the club, I knew everything was going to work the way I imagined it.
We're having this meeting now because I was too busy yesterday at Giordanos Inc., and then the auction took up the rest of the time.
Since there was no fucking way I was going to meet later like they wanted and screw with my plans to savor the experience and taste of breaking a virgin, we’re meeting now.
“Ready to start?” I ask.
"Born ready," Salvatore answers, and they all nod and straighten up in their seats.
I click on the computer screen and bring up the designs of the club I went over with the architect I hired.
Instantly the screen is covered with a sleek black building with the chic sophistication of one of the classy hotels in Vegas.
“This is the Dark Odyssey,” I announce.
That’s the first time they would have heard all the name. Saying it feels perfect, just like the building design Salvatore and I came up with.
We wanted something to show the guys. Something that didn’t look like the dive the place still is now.
They all look impressed. This is the first time Salvatore is seeing the structure on a bigger screen. If I feel blown away by what I'm seeing, I'm guessing he does too.
We got our inspiration from a combination of buildings in Italy. The roof and structural design is a blend of the Pantheon and the Basilica di San Giovanni. That's why it has that hotel feel. But there are parts of the entrance that are inspired by the design of the Trevi Fountain. I have something special in mind for that, so it was done on purpose.
'The Dark Odyssey' is written in gold, and the color scheme of black and gold runs across the building.
It has glass doors and windows where the offices are, but the other rooms have French windows.
“That’s what you guys came up with?” Nick asks, looking thoroughly impressed.
I expected him to be the first to talk.
"It is," I confirm, and he and Christian exchange glances.
He and Christian are the youngest of us, so they're automatically close. The two also just finished college: Nick a year ago and Christian last month.
“Salvatore did most of the design work for the building,” I add. “The color scheme is mine. Of course, things can be changed around to suit what you guys want.”
“Black and gold work for me,” Gabe says.
