No, that wasn’t true. I’d had somewhat of a normal life up until my parents’ murder. With Gio as a grandfather, no one could claim anything as typical. But my mother had done her best to keep simple things a part of our life, from dinners every evening to afterschool activities both parents attended.

My phone beeped with an incoming message.

KASEN:Get your ass up. You need to pack a bag. We have shit to deal with that needs your undivided attention.

A second later, a picture of a burning half-finished ship appeared on my phone.

Well, that was just fucking great.

ME:Tell the pilot to ready the jet. I’m on my way. Was it Albert?

KASEN:My gut says either Albert or Hal. As of now, we need you to get your ass to Greece.

ME:On my way.

Sighing, I set my phone to the side, unwrapped myself from Nyx’s heat, and rose from the bed.

“When are you coming out to Vegas again?”

“I’m not sure. I’ll let you know as soon as I deal with some business issues. It may be one to two weeks, possibly more.”

“Issues.” She sat up, tucking the sheet around her chest. “I see.”

The coolness of her tone had me pausing.

“What do you see?”

“You want me to believe that you aren’t going to fuck around.”

“Yes.”

She closed her eyes, turning her face away from me. “Don’t lie to me, Simon. I’d rather you just lay it out for me. I know how men like you operate.”

“Want to explain what ‘men like you’ means?”

“I grew up in this world. I’ve seen it all and heard it all.”

I climbed on the bed, caging her with my body. “I thought we cleared this up last night. The only person I plan to fuck is you. And the only person you will fuck is me.”

“You’re going to go more than two weeks without sex?”

“No, I’m not.”

She narrowed her gaze, but before she could say anything, I spoke. “The longest I’m planning to go without being in your tight cunt is two weeks, tops, if that.”

“Are you saying that you’re going to fly out between whatever issues you are handling to come fuck me?”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

“It will get old. Especially with your busy schedule.”

“Is that a challenge, Ms. Mykos?”

“It is, Mr. Drakos.”

“Challenge accepted.”

“And how are you going to explain your trips to the world?”
