ME:Actually, I don’t want to handle you, at all. I don’t want anything to do with you.
SIMON:You’re going to do a lot with me when I get to you. Especially if you don’t listen to what I’m telling you.
ME:We’re texting, not talking. I can’t hear a damn thing you’re saying, asshole.
Almost immediately, my phone rang. The spiteful side of me wanted to let it go to voicemail, but the idiot part of me answered.
“What do you want?” I barked into my phone.
“You’re going to do as I say, Goddess.” The way he spoke those words reminded me of another time he’d used that exact phrase, commanding me to drop to my knees and suck him off.
My traitorous body reacted, and I bit the inside of my cheek instead of focusing on how my nipples pebbled and my pussy grew slick.
Through gritted teeth, I said, “Don’t.”
“Don’t what?” He let his voice do that thing that intensified the ache deep in my core.
“You already made it clear you’re done with me, so stop fucking with me.”
“Is that what you think?”
“It’s what I know. I’m a big girl who’s familiar with how things work.”
“That’s surprising since I’m the first man who’s ever touched you, who’s ever fucked you, who’s ever come inside you.” I closed my eyes, hating the way I wanted this fucker. “What gives you the impression I’m even remotely finished with you?”
I shifted my phone to the other ear. “Your actions.”
“I was handling business. Business that I wish to hell I could hand off to someone else without causing more chaos.”
“I don’t care.”
“Liar. You’re wondering who I put my dick in for the last five weeks. Want to know the answer?”
“I don’t have time for your mind games.” I pressed my fingers to the bridge of my nose. “Get lost. I have work to do and a different Drakos to get rid of.”
“You will not see him. That’s an order.”
My temper was piqued. “Listen up, dickhead. I don’t take orders from you. You aren’t my father. You aren’t one of my brothers. You are my fake fiancé who I used to fuck. Hear that. Used. To. Fuck. You have no say in my life. Now fuck off, Drakos. I have things to do.”
I hung up, set the phone down, and closed my eyes for a moment, knowing I’d done the one thing I shouldn’t have. I’d gotten attached.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
I had gotten attached to the dickhead, and it hurt like hell that he’d ghosted me.
It was better to deal with it now than to question everything later. I had to remember he represented everything I hated about the world I’d grown up in. The rules, the expectations, the pretenses.
I wanted a normal life, a normal job, something away from the craziness I’d grown up around, with someone who accepted me the way I was, someone who wouldn’t want me to fit a mold, someone who wanted me for me, someone who put me first, or at least on the priority list.
Maybe seeing my parents had spoiled me. Papa and Mama had fallen in love as teens but were expected to marry different people. Then on the day of Mama’s wedding, Papa stole her away. It had caused a huge scandal, but in the end, another scandal overshadowed theirs and people forgot about it.
Well, except the fact Mama was the greatest weakness of the man known as the Mykos Surgeon. Papa never shied away from saying that he would burn the world down if anything happened to Mama. That was probably why he made sure she had protection around her day and night. At times, I felt he went overboard, but Mama always seemed to find ways around it.
In fact, I’d learned a few of my tricks from her.
Thinking of tricks, I had to find out who out of the Drakos clan wanted to see me. Simon had made it pretty obvious he wasn’t privy to the information.
I rose from my desk and made my way out of the back side of the gardens. Standing next to a collection of tall flowering hibiscus trees stood a man with Simon’s similar height and build. The style of clothing looked almost the same, as well, except this guy seemed to have the edge of vanity where the designer labels were prominently displayed on his shoes and belt, whereas Simon wore clothes everyone knew were custom made and needed no labels.
