“You’ve seen him in action. Would you not follow him just because of his age?”
“Touché.”
The fact is, I would follow Luca into any fight. The little fucker would happily take down anyone who got too close.
“So you’ll eventually get this place, and he’ll be president in Dog City.” I grin. “The Jacksons are certainly taking over.”
My tone holds no malice, and he knows it.
“It would make the two charters strong as fuck. Stronger than any other charter to us. I can see what Dad’s imagining.”
“I suppose in the long run, it makes more sense to have you both at the top of the two clubs. I don’t doubt Luca would follow you, but he’s not exactly a team player.”
Leo snorts in agreement. We both know Luca does what Luca wants to do most of the time.
“You’re not wrong.”
“So what about Holly? Why is she taking up space in your head? I thought she was only the nanny?” At least, that’s what he’s always telling me.
He takes a quick look around before saying, “We sometimes share a bed.”
My eyes go wide. I’m about to ask him what else they share, but he cuts me off before I can.
“And seriously, it’s nothing. Her nightmares have her screaming the fucking place down. But when she’s not alone, she doesn’t have them as often.” He rubs his hands over his face. “The thing is, she’s been acting weird lately, so I called her out on it. She told me she has feelings for me, and that she doesn’t want to share a bed anymore.”
“Okay. That shouldn’t be a problem for you, though, should it?”
He’s the one who’s been banging on about how she’s just the nanny, and that nothing’s going on between them.
“I… don’t exactly hate sleeping next to her.”
“So it’s not exactly a surprise she’d catch feelings for you. If you’re not interested, just find somewhere else to sleep. You can’t blame her for pushing you away if she isn’t getting anything back.”
“It’s…”
His stammering responses are driving me crazy. Shit, how hard is it to fucking talk? Yet this is the most he’s spoken about his feelings and shit in a long time.
“It’s what? It’s been long enough. If you want to fuck her, fuck her, but make it clear it’s nothing more than that.”
Hearing footsteps creeping down the stairs, we both look up to see Zara, who stops and stares straight at Leo.
I look between them, finally fucking getting it. He doesn’t need to fuck the nanny because he’s dipping his dick into Zara, his favourite club girl before he went and fell in love with India. Zara always hoped he’d make her his old lady, and when India caught his eye, she hated every second of it. When she sees she’s got my attention, as well as Leo’s, she spins around and jogs back up the stairs.
“How long has that been going on?” I ask, tipping the beer to my lips.
“Not that long. And before you say anything, it’s nothing.”
“Seems you got a whole lot of nothing going on for someone with a lot going on. Hell, I thought for sure you were banging Holly.”
“And I told you it wasn’t what you were thinking,” he retorts. “She doesn’t want to share a bed anymore ’cause she smelled Zara’s perfume on me.”
“Fuck, brother. You didn’t think to shower first?” I snort. “Rookie fucking mistake.”
“Why would I? It’s not like that with her.”
“Dude, Holly’s a woman. Women don’t like that shit, especially when they like you—you should know that. Besides, why do you like sharing a bed with her so much if there’s nothing going on and you’re fucking Zara?”
“She…” Pausing, he finishes his beer and leans back in his chair. “India’s in my head every second of every day. I only fuck Zara when I’m drunk, and always with my eyes closed ’cause I can pretend I’m with India,” he admits. “And Holly… she’s a warm body lying next to me, taking the place of the woman I wish I was sleeping next to. It’s all so fucked, man.”
