“How could I forget?” She pointed to her chest. “Always have it on me and always practice.”
“What?” Tanya craned her neck trying to see what Laura was talking about.
“Valentino taught me how to shoot a long time ago.” Laura flashed a wide grin, lifting her shirt to the base of the gun handle. “I carry my gun in a bra holster.”
“Good.” I flickered my gaze back to Noah who was staring at my sister with pure lust in his eyes. “Noah.”
Startled, he snapped out of his daydream. “Right. I’ll keep her safe. You have my word. We still have some time before dark so we’re good.”
I subtly bowed my head before they exited. Just as Noah reached the archway, I groaned. “Noah?”
He spun around. “Yeah, boss?”
“Where your earpiece and for my own sake mute—”
“Okay, we should get going.” Noah nervously laughed as he ushered Laura out of sight. “I’ll keep in touch while gone.”
Isabelle stood and sashayed over to me. I wrapped my arms around her waist. A smirk formed on her smooth lips, and I was reminded once again that she saw the best in everyone. It was a look of approval and admiration for me not snapping Noah in two. Standing on her toes, she pressed her mouth to mine.
“I love you.”
“I love you and I’m so proud of you.” She whispered.
I rolled my eyes. “It was his suggestion.” I lifted my chin toward William.
“But you didn’t murder anyone over it.” She snickered then glanced over her shoulder. “Thank you, Liam, for that idea.”
The sun began to set but Laura and Noah were not back yet. Noah had been keeping in touch with me but there was no sign of anyone sneaking onto the island that they could see. He was still convinced Felipe, or his men would show up some point soon. He told us to rest while we had a chance, and he would notify us if anything was happening.
I hoped for one night of peace, but my guard was still up. We had just gotten here, and I wanted to spend some time with Isabelle. I loved her more than anything and felt we had not truly been able to have peace since all this started. We were always on edge. Between Felipe and all the other business dealings I had, legal and illegal, it felt unfair for me to be constantly distracted from the person most important to me.
Hatred swelled in me, knowing this was happening all over again but once it was over, it would be done…for good. Never would we have to ever worry about that prick again. I was exhausted from all the emergency traveling and the jet lag was beginning to conquer me.
Isabelle was in the bathroom, getting ready for what she had hoped to be a long nap. I entered and began to undress as I watched her flawless reflection in the mirror. Her gaze fixated on me as I unfastened my belt and pants. Turning away, I pulled my shirt over my head before glancing back over my shoulder.
She was gawking at my back muscles. She always told me she loved how they flexed when I removed my shirt. Normally, I would have given her a show, but I was trying to conceal my injury as much as possible.
It was too late. Palm clasped over her mouth, she gasped. Her gaze narrowed in on the sutures on my side. Instantly, she rushed over. Placing a hand on me, she traced around the wound with her fingernail. I peered into her eyes watching her pained gaze.
“This is why you’ve been acting as if you’re in pain when I touched you here?”
I nodded, cupping her cheek in my hand. “But bella, I’m okay.”
“What happened exactly?” She laid her soft cheek on my bare, tanned chest.
I wrapped my fingers around her upper arms, pulling her away from me. Looking into her eyes, I smirked. “Can we discuss that later?”
“We do have some time to kill, I guess.” She tilted her head, taunting my naughty mind. She always knew what I wanted.
Running my fingers through her hair, I pursed my lips, whispering, “I don’t want to kill it discussing a mission.”
“Take m—”
I crashed my lips into hers, shutting her up as I struck my tongue with hers. Yanking her closer to my body, I walked her backwards through the door, guiding her with my mouth to the bed. The back of her legs hit the edge causing her to lose her balance, tumbling onto the soft blanket-covered mattress.
Crawling over her frame, I leaned forward, biting the hem of her shirt with my teeth, inching it up. I grabbed her wrists, pinning them above her head. She lifted a bit, allowing me to guide her shirt up but I became too impatient. Rocking back on my knees, I snatched her top ripping it open. The tearing fabric caused her to smile. Her ample cleavage peeked out the top of her black, lace bra.
I raked my fingertips around her chest, teasing her. She arched her back, begging for me to touch her further. Hooking my fingers in her bra, I pulled it down, exposing her breasts. Instantly, her small rosy nipples hardened in the cool air of the room. Holding the end of my belt, I pulled it from the belt loops, dangling it over her.
