“Rellik,” I call out, followed by a whistle.
As if waiting by the door, he runs in and jumps on the bed.
Ciera gasps and yelps while scooting toward the headboard, her need for modesty forgotten.
“Sidet,” I order the command for sit in Russian. Then, in an equally harsh and authoritative tone, I say, “Myjesto,” for him to stay.
Tilting my head and meeting Dom’s stare, I say, “That’s why we came here. Or one of the reasons.” Flipping my eyes back to Ciera, I soften them for her. “He won’t hurt you, kitten. He’ll only bite if someone tries to hurt you. And then he’ll rip the motherfucker’s throat out.”
She swallows but doesn’t say anything as her pretty green eyes watch Rellik in case she needs to run for her life.
“Go take a shower, Ciera,” Dom tells her. “If K says they won’t harm you, then they won’t. You have my word.”
“They?” she questions.
“There is one male, him, and two bitches in the house,” I clarify, watching all the color drain from her cheeks.
“Are you afraid of all dogs, or is it the look he gives off that says, I’ll eat you if you breathe wrong? Because that’s his permanent look, kitten. Make no mistake about it, he’s a trained killer, but he’s my killer, and he obeys me. If there is one thing you can believe to be true from my mouth, it’s that if I tell you he’ll protect you, then he will do so with his life.”
“Just the big, mean-looking ones whose name spelled backward is Killer,” she admits as she slides off the bed, her cautious eyes still on my dog.
Irritation crawls up my spine as anger washes over my scalp. It’s not aimed at her but at myself. It bothers me that she doesn’t trust me, and well, it’s not like I’ve given her reason to.
“Come on,” Dom beckons as he turns away from us, walking toward the door. “Leave her to clean herself and bond with Rellik.”
“Come find us when you’re done,” I say, then turn my back to her as I follow Dom.
“We’ll have you something to eat by the time you’ve finished, little pet.”
Closing the door, I quicken my steps to catch up before Domenico descends the staircase.
“Hold up,” I call to his back.
When I’m in reaching distance, I grab him around his bicep and swing his body around. Forcing his back to the wall, I crowd his personal space, pressing my chest against his.
“I need to know that your need to murder her was squashed after everything we just did.”
CHAPTER 31
DOMENICO
“Murder is very much on my mind,” I answer him honestly. There’s no sense in denying what’s been swirling inside my head since I saw my father gunned down. “So many goddamn people are going to die by my hands in the coming days, K.” I pause, eyeing him harder than I ever have. “But Ciera isn’t one of them anymore.”
At least I don’t think she is. I’m not even sure if she really was, or if I would have gone through with what I’d planned to do to her the other night. The thought of putting a gun to her beautiful head makes me feel ashamed for the first time in my life.
“Good,” he says. Then taking a breath, he releases me, but his winter blue eyes stay locked with mine. “Because after being inside her, I’m more certain than ever that I would kill you if you tried again.”
I’d probably off myself before he got the chance, but I don’t voice that thought. As long as she doesn’t betray one of us, betray our families, then she’s safe. At least from death by my hands. I can’t guarantee I won’t murder her pussy again or strangle her throat with my dick.
“Her pussy is too good to waste,” I finally settle on replying even though he and I both know it’s pointless. He can read me like a book no matter the mask I wear the same way I can him.
Ciera’s pussy is the best either of us has ever had, but her mind is as intoxicating as the rest. She’s smarter than Krishna and I put together. Neither one of us could have accomplished what she did in mere minutes. I’m not even upset that she donated all the money she stole. It’s a fittingfuck youif I say so myself.
There’s a lot I don’t know about the woman my father had me marry, and for the first time in my life, I want to dig up all the dirty details but not to use them against her. I simply want to know it all.
The good. The bad. The ugly.
I’ve watched Ciera when Liam’s name has come up in conversation. She doesn’t love him. I don’t think she hates him either, but that’s because I don’t believe she’s capable of hating like I am.
