So, I washed my hair the best I could using the bench seat in the shower and the spray nozzle that you can detach from its base.
Now I’m towel drying my body off as Rellik watches me from approximately four feet from the shower door. It’s a bit weird and a whole lot unnerving to be the center of his attention.
I believed Krishna when he said the dog wouldn’t hurt me, but Rellik is still an animal and having experience with my uncle’s dogs, I know they can turn on you without reason.
“Kill!” Sasha’s excitement startles me as I’m tucking the corner of the towel down between the soft material and the outside of my boob.
She plops down to the tiled floor next to the dog, a big smile plastered on her made-up face.
“I’ve missed you, boy.” Squeezing him around the neck and pulling him onto her lap, she finally glances up. “I’m starting to think you’re a motherfucking majestic unicorn. First, you have Tony wrapped around your finger. Then Dom and my brother. My husband even likes you and now Kill too? Is your vagina sprinkled with fairy dust?”
“He looks like he’s biding his time until he can eat me.”
“No, he doesn’t.” She laughs, but I see no humor in my situation. “That’s his normal pretty puppy dog look. If he didn’t like you, you’d be dead before a scream had time to bubble up from your throat.”
She dropped her head and then her hands grab both sides of his snout aggressively. “You better remember I loved you first, sweet boy. My feelings will be hurt if you trade me in for the newbie this quickly.”
Releasing him, she jumps to her feet. She’s dressed in black dress pants that fit snugly around her tiny waist and flair down her legs. Her top is canary yellow and sleeveless. It’s businesslike yet looks sporty on her with the colorful ink that decorates both arms in a girly, yet don’t fuck with me vibe.
“I brought your suitcase from Tony’s house. It’s by my brother’s bed. When you’re dressed, come downstairs. Just follow Kill. He’s bringing you to the kitchen where the rest of us are.”
Does the dog have human abilities?She didn’t issue any type of command other than to me to follow their dog’s lead.
Maybe Domenico’s pet name is fitting, and it’s me that’s supposed to be the obedient creature instead of the guard dog.

I didas I was instructed.
After putting on clean undergarments, leggings, and a short-sleeved tunic, I followed Rellik until I heard voices.
“Dad’s funeral is Tuesday,” Sienna announces as I stop in the opening to an enormous kitchen.
There is an industrial-sized stove to my left and an island with enough barstools to seat two to three families around it. Ren and Sasha are sitting with their backs facing me. Sienna is seated to my left, with Giovanni standing next to her while Krishna is leaning over the countertop on the other side of his sister but closer to where Domenico has his arms crossed on the opposite side of Sienna. Matteo and his daughter are missing, but it’s a big house, so they could be here or somewhere else.
Rellik pads his paws over to where two other fully grown Doberman dogs sit alert as they eye me in the same way Rellik was.
“It’ll be graveside as per his wishes,” Sienna continues. “Afterward—”
“Stop standing over there and come eat.” Domenico’s stare meets mine as he interrupts his sister to make my presence known.
The way his dark eyes appraise me is uncanny, much like the dogs. It’s impossible to tell if he likes what he sees or if he’s thinking about all the ways he can kill you before you’re the wiser. Whereas I can’t stop thinking or remembering the way he felt inside of me or how much I loved the feel of both of them touching me at the same time and wondering if he can read those thoughts on my face.
Stepping towards him, he pulls the stool that’s tucked underneath the counter out in front of him, telling me without words that’s where he wants me to sit.Where better to keep an eye on me if I’m within reaching distance,I guess.
“Continue, Si,” Dom says as I slide my bottom onto the cushiest seat I’ve ever sat on.
Pressing his chest against my back, Domenico reaches over me and pulls a pizza box in front of me. My stomach rumbles its need for food as the smell of grease and cheese wafts to my nose.
“Eat,” he growls in a low tone against my ear, making me feel him down to my core. My eyes glance to my right, seeing Krishna watching me as Domenico straightens from behind me. His front still touches my backside, but it’s not in an intimidating manner but rather a comforting one instead. “Spit the rest out, Sienna, so we can be done with this conversation.”
“Rainbow,” Giovanni calls out, pulling my attention away from Krishna. “Why don’t I take you to get something to eat while they talk.”
“Her name is Ciera,” Dom bites out from behind me as his left palm squeezes my hip, preventing me from moving. “And she isn’t going anywhere. You, on the other hand, are free to leave whenever the fuck you want.”
“Ciera,” Giovanni enunciates in a way that’s clearly supposed to get under Domenico’s skin. “Doesn’t like pizza.”
Dom’s fingers dig into my flesh over the material of leggings in a bruising manner, and as if my ears hone into the sound he’s making from behind me, I think his teeth are grinding together.
