ChapterOne
Enzo
Itried to live the life Gia wanted. Away from the fray. From the lifestyle. But that life called to me. It whispered in my ears and screamed to me from the shadows. I knew she heard it, too. She had to. For someone like her, it would be a goddamn roar. I tried to keep away. Tried. And failed.
I sat across from Jameson, a deck of cards between us and some of his friends. They were talking shop, but the longer I sat there, the more I knew it wasn’t about cars at all. What the hell were the O’Rileys into? I was inclined to find out.
“Where’s that Silvani girl?” Jameson asked as he shuffled the deck.
“Why do you have such a hard-on for her?” I asked with a bite in my words.
Jameson shrugged. “Who wouldn’t?” The other men laughed. “I’d cut my own dick off afterward if I could get one night with her.”
“Ain’t happening. She’s mine.”
Jameson flashed his blue eyes at me. “You sure don’t act like she’s yours.”
“You don’t know nothing about us.” I smirked.
“Girl like that? You better act like it, or she’ll hop onto the first dick that does.”
I clenched my jaw, causing my cheeks to throb. He knew nothing about our relationship. And even if he did, it wasn’t his goddamn business. I rubbed my hand along my revolver, trying to remind myself that Jameson was the only link I had left to my old life.
“Speaking of adick, we need some more muscle to come with us for a...thing next week. You feel up to it?” Jameson eyed me.
Yeah, I knew I was a dick. I nodded, throwing my losing hand down on the table. Of course I’d go. What else did I have to do in the middle of fucking nowhere? We were still in hiding after getting rid of Bullseye, and as much as I didn’t like to hang around with those Irish pricks, Jameson was the only one besides Gia I could trust right now. They were the only ties to our old life and as much as Gia wanted to be out of it, I still felt the tug toward it.
“And bring that Silvani,” he said with a wink.
I stood up, drawing my jacket back and exposing the revolver on my hip. “I’ll bring her. But mind your eyes. If I catch them wandering over her for too long, I’ll cut them out and feed them to my goddamn dog.”
Jameson smirked, throwing up his hands. He thought he was being funny, but he had no idea how far into hell I’d stroll to protect Gia.

The momentI walked into the house, I was greeted by the big ol’ blockhead of mine. He nearly took out my knees as he bounded into me from the kitchen. I ached for Gia before I even got in the car, an uncomfortable throb in my dick at the thought of her. It was all because of Jameson. I fucking loved how much he wanted her, the way he practically drooled all over himself for her.
I pushed Atheist away with my knee and followed the scent of warm thyme and oregano. It smelled like she was cooking up something perfect for dinner, but I was hungry for something else entirely. She turned around as I entered the kitchen, taking a step back when she saw me. I must have looked mad. I wasn’t angry with her, no, but I was frustrated as hell.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
“Ain’t nothing wrong,” I said, gnawing on the inside of my lip. My eyes roved over her. She wasn’t even wearing a bra beneath her thin t-shirt, and I could see everything.
When she realized the expression on my face wasn’t from anger, she swirled the spoon she was holding, her expression growing playful. “Don’t even think about it. I’m cooking.”
I stepped closer and rubbed my wrist against her side as I reached behind her and flipped off the burner. She shivered. “You can cook later.”
“What has gotten into you?” Gia’s eyebrow lifted.
Part of me wanted to tell her how Jameson dripped with excitement for her, but the other half of me wanted that to remain a well-kept secret. What would a girl like Gia do with information like that? She’d use it against me. But I couldn’t help myself.
“Jameson wants to fuck you.”
“And?” she said in an even tone.
“And nothing. The way he talked about you made me—”
“Jealous?” she asked. She loved to poke me when I was already on edge, and then she wondered why I took it out on her pussy.
