“None of your business,guapo.”Handsome.
Nico says something in return but everything fades when Twitch comes toward me with the sexiest smile on his face. He has a glow about him and I know what Jefa said is true. Twitch looks positively happy. In the past, he looked content and good with life, even after we stopped fighting our desires. But right now, he looks like I moved mountains and carved the Grand Canyon. He looks like a man who found his treasure.
Doesn’t he realize? He’s the treasure. He’s the golden crown on my head and the sparkling jewels around my neck. He makes me better than I am but he never asks me to be more than I am. I love how his eyes see more than my outside, he sees past the scars and flaws.
He kisses me as he sits down, pulling styrofoam boxes out of the bag. Opening up the first box, my mouth waters and my stomach growls like a beast in a cage.
“Mmm, mushroom sausage ragù. I can’t believe you drove all the way to La Cucina for me, Twitch.”
“Always.”
Everyone digs in and the room falls quiet. As we eat I take in our company. The Renzetti’s aren’t total strangers to me. I’ve had conversations with them in the past but I’ve never actually hung out with them. Marco is second oldest and he is one ripped guy but there’s an air of anger around him, like he’s not quite here but rather somewhere in his head. Drake is next and my god, he’s gorgeous. How have I not noticed that before? Don’t get me wrong, he doesn’t hold a candle to Twitch. Not in my eyes at least, but I can’t deny the pure fucking sex appeal he gives off. Even shoveling food in his face he looks like a sex god. Then there’s the youngest and the coldest, Nico. Cold and closed… until his eyes land on Jefa. I see the light fill his face when he looks at her.
But none of them can turn me from Twitch. I look over at him and see he’s watching me with a brow cocked. I laugh a little and shrug.
“You’re lucky I know you so well, damsel, otherwise I think I’d question your ogling of my cousins.”
My eyebrows shoot up to my hairline, “Cousins?”
Twitch nods his head, “Not by blood. It’s a long story and one I’ll tell you later. Right now, though, I wanted to tell you what’s happened since we found you. Are you up for that?”
“Yes, I am. I need to know how long we’re going to be here and what’s being done to find Ruslan. I want blood, Luca. I need to see that bastard in the ground.” I put my food down and sit back. I’m ready to move the fuck on as soon as possible.
Everyone crowds around us and I listen to Twitch recount everything from when I was taken to how they found me. I feel a huge weight lifted when they tell me about Popov and Mila being in custody of Dimitri. I don’t know if Mila had her hand in any of Ruslan’s plans and I don’t care right now.
“What about Ivan? Where is he?”
Twitch’s lip curls at the bastard’s name and I don’t blame him. Even saying his name has my heart racing and my hands shaking. I can deal with the trauma the brothers caused but that doesn’t mean I’m unaffected by their damage.
“He’s currently on a jet to New York,” Marco says stoically.
I stare at him a moment thinking I did something to upset the usually smiling Renzetti. It seems like he’s seen some things that have hardened him. He’s almost as cruel looking as his brother Gavriel.
I turn my questioning gaze to Twitch who shakes his head. “Don’t mind Marco. He’s itching to get back to New York. We all are, I want to see these bastards put down and I want to get you home.”
I don’t think anything has sounded so wonderful. I want to get home as well and if I never see Texas again, it’ll be alright with me.
“I’ve got a weight plan set out for you too, Sil.” Johnny says. “You’ll be back to your normal weight in a couple of weeks. Guaranteed.”
I can feel the excitement running through my veins at the thought of working out again. Feeling the burn in my muscles and the sweat on my brow. I can’t hold back my squeal of joy, making everyone around me chuckle. Even stoic Marco.
Jefa smiles, throwing an arm around Johnny and Nico, “Yeah, it’s time to get our girl out in the ring again. The Boss Bitch is back!”
That’s right, the Queen is back, baby.
