“You know I don’t.”

“I know no such thing, Duchess. It’s the whole badass Italian thing he has going on, isn’t it?”

I can’t believe this. I simply can’t. This is exactly why I forget reality when I’m with either of these two men. They complete me.

“I like that about him, but there are tons about you that I like.”

“Oh yeah? Why don’t you come over here and tell me what you like.”

I pull the sheet closer to my breasts, and he stops me.

“No, take it off and come over naked,” he says.

I allow the sheet to slip from me, and his eyes glue to my breasts as I move over to him and sit in his lap.

While he circles his arms around me, I slip mine around his neck.

“Go on, Duchess. You can start anytime now.”

“I like your eyes, and your hair and your face and everything about you,” I say. “Most of all, I like how you make me smile.”

“You have a nice smile, so I do my best to see it as often as I can, Duchess.”

“Thank you.”

He slides his hand up to touch my bruised wrist and brings it to his lips to kiss. The bruise doesn’t look as bad as it did when I first got it.

I hated lying to Georgiou, but what else was I supposed to do. Peter could literally get away with murder, and no one would know.

Telling a guy like Georgiou or even Henry who and what I’m running from is just asking for trouble. It would get back to Dad, then everything would go to hell.

“How’s your wrist?” Henry asks.

“Better. I’m fine.”

“You sure? You’d tell me if you’re not good, right?”

“Yes, I promise.”

“Okay, well, today I’m taking the day off to spend it with my girl.”

My girl.

If I died right now, I’d be happy to be called that. The only thing I would miss is Georgiou.

“Maybe I should leave then before she gets here,” I tease.

“Like fuck. You know I’m talking about you.” He nuzzles his mouth into my neck playfully, and I laugh.

It’s been so long since I laughed like this it feels freeing.

The last time was before Dante died. That was years ago. I’ve lived my life in misery and grief from one day to the next.

It’s like I was trying to make my way back to myself, and I finally found it when I met these two gorgeous men who’ve turned my world upside down.

“What are we going to do?”

“First, I’m going to fuck you in the shower,” he replies, and my pussy clenches at his crass words.
