"Forgive my stepbrother, he can be an impolite motherfucker."
Seb grabs her palm and brings it up to his lips.
Thestronzokisses the back of her fingers. I stiffen. How dare he? And after I warned him to stay away from her. I’d told them all to leave, but Seb had stayed back. Next to him, Adrian shuffles his feet.
Clearly, Seb had coerced him to wait, as well. Now, he glances between us, uncomfortable. "Seb," he says in a low voice, "we should leave."
"What’s the hurry?" Seb drawls in a tone that ensures that I can hear it.
Clearly, he is testing me. I roll my shoulders, take a step forward. Then stop. It won’t do to give away what I feel…which is…a confusing set of emotions that sits heavy in my gut.
I take in her face, her gaze alight as she glances up at him. No doubt, her attention is captured by the bastard’s beautiful countenance. It’s what makes people trust him, that is, until he pulls the rug out from under them.
Seb’s smile widens. His gaze dips to her lips, down the slope of her breasts—and I snarl low in my throat.
He laughs. "Why,principesa, I believe it’s going to be delightful to get to know you."
Anger laces my blood.
"Didn’t I tell you to leave?" I growl.
"How could I? Especially after you mentioned that you have a guest. It was but polite to stay on and introduce myself to her. Though I understand, now, why you prefer to keep her to yourself. She is stunning." He peers down at her, and his face alights with a smile, "Your beauty is breathtaking,principessa."
Karma giggles. I glance sideways, watch the blush rise to her cheeks. Anger crawls at my gut. She isn’t allowed to respond to any other man, to react to their flirtation, to have them hook her arm in the crook of their elbow and allow them to lead her to the table.
Seb pulls back the chair and she drops into it. He places his hand on the back of her chair and his fingers graze her shoulders. My vision tunnels. I stalk up to them, grab him by the back of his collar and haul him back.
"Whoa!" He swings around, fists raised.
"Leave," I snarl. "Get the fuck off this island and don’t come back until I send for you."
His eyebrows furrow; his breathing is ragged, "You should know better than to step up behind a man."
"You should know better than touch what is mine…"
"Interesting choice of words." His smile twists, "I do believe this is the first time I’ve seen you lose your composure,fratellastro."
"Fuck off." I jerk my chin toward the exit.
"Or what? "
The blood begins to thud at my temples. I step up until we are toe to toe, "You don’t want to find out."
A chair scrapes, and she appears between us. "Stop it."
"Stay out of this," I growl without taking my gaze off of thestronzoin front of me.
Seb shoots me a glance from under hooded eyebrows. "You threatening me?"
"What do you think?"
She thrusts her face closer, "I think you guys are hangry."
I glower at the man in front of me.
