“Are you okay?” he asks when I remain still.
“Yeah, I’m good. Just a little tired,” I lie.
He bends his head and his warm breath dances over my skin as he kisses my neck so softly it makes me shiver. His lips are against my ear as his hands slides between my thighs, and he starts to toy with my clit. “You want to go to sleep?”
“You told Joey about us,” I reply, opting for a distraction.
“No, she guessed. I didn’t know it was a secret though,” he growls as his fingers go on teasing me.
“Well, she kind of blindsided me with it. A heads-up would have been nice,” I say, biting on my lip to stop myself from moaning as the familiar waves of pleasure build in my core.
“Joey will make it her mission to make you as uncomfortable as possible, Kat. You just have to ignore most of what comes out of her mouth.”
“Well, if that was her mission, she achieved it,” I snap, clamping my thighs together to stop his fingers from driving me to distraction.
It works because he pulls his hand from my panties and brushes my hair from my face. “What did she say to you?”
“She… she suggested I was taking advantage of you.”
He laughs darkly, and I glare at him. “I’m glad you find that funny, but it was horrible, Dante,” I say, remembering how small and cheap she made me feel. “She made me feel like…” I choke back the emotion.
“Like what?”
“A whore,” I whisper. I hate that word. It’s one that’s used to degrade women, but I don’t know how else to describe how she made me feel.
“I’ll speak to her.”
“No, please don’t.” I sigh. “I can handle her myself.”
“Whatever you want, kitten. You know I don’t see you that way, right?” he asks as he starts to kiss my neck again.
“Don’t you?”
“Just because I fuck you every chance I get, doesn’t mean that’s all I want from you.”
“So, what else do you want, Dante?” I ask.
His hand slides down my body again and back into my panties. “Everything,” he growls, and before I can ask him what the hell that means, he silences me with a deep kiss full of fire and longing, while he slides two fingers inside me.
Dante Moretti is a monster — the most ruthless and violent man I’ve ever known, but that’s not why he’s so dangerous. He’s dangerous because I’m falling for him a little more every single day.
Chapter18
Kat
Irifle through the cupboards of the medical room as quickly as I can before someone catches me. When I open the cupboard above my head, a roll of bandages falls out, bouncing off my head onto the floor.
Dammit. I’m sure I saw some in here. I know I did because I wondered why the hell Dante even had them in his house. Chasing after the errant bandage, I wrack my brain to recall which cupboard they were in.
I’ve hardly been in this room lately. I don’t know if that’s because Dante’s men are no longer getting themselves into any scrapes that need my attention, or whether it has anything to do with Joey’s return almost three weeks ago and her protective older brother doesn’t want his injured men in the house. Whatever it is, I haven’t been using any of my nursing skills and I’m wondering exactly how I’m paying off my brother’s quarter of a million dollar debt. I spend my days reading or walking the grounds — and mostly avoiding Joey. But I spend every night in Dante’s bed and occasional afternoons in his office where he fucks me over and over again, no longer giving me any of the warmth or affection that I was becoming used to. Currently that seems to be the only service I provide and whenever that fact starts to make me feel uneasy, I’ve become an expert at pushing such thoughts away.
But when Dante asked me if I’d called the doctor to prescribe me some birth control, well, now I have some thoughts that I can’t push away no matter how hard I try.
Opening the small set of drawers beneath the locked medicine cabinet, I find the little pink boxes I’m looking for.
I take one out and stuff it into the pocket of my jeans. Now I just need to get out of here and reach a bathroom without getting busted.
I stareat the small piece of plastic in my hands and the two lines that are marked so clearly they may as well be flashing neon. I cover them with my hand, half suspecting Dante to be watching me on some hidden cameras.
