“If you’ve got a brain like that, darling, why the hell aren’t you back in school in LA?”
She shrugged. “Do I look like the kind of girl who has any interest in being confined to a desk?”
“No,” I admitted. In truth, there were times it surprised me that Greta could sit still at all. There was this energy that radiated from her. And even tired and freshly fucked, like now, she couldn’t seem to stop. “Though, I have no trouble imagining you bent over one.”—her hands holding on tight and her tits bouncing while I fucked her until she screamed.
Her gaze shot up to meet mine, and her tongue darted out to lick her lips, making them glisten. Perfect fucking lips. They’d looked even better wrapped around my cock than I could have imagined. Definitely a sight I wanted to see again. Pretty damn soon, if the blood surging back to my cock was any indicator.
“The school shit never really fit, you know?” she said, turning her body in my direction just a little. “I might have been good at it, but it didn’t feel like it was what I wassupposedto be doing.”
Interesting. “And you believe in that? Fate… destiny… whatever you want to call it?” Generally, I was a skeptic of all that fate shit, but at the moment, I had no trouble believing the girl’s body and its tantalizing sweet scent had been made just for me.
Her face was blank for a fraction of a second, looking like I’d caught her off-guard, but she recovered quickly. “Not destiny, exactly. I think it’s more of a ‘harmony’ thing.”
“Harmony?” Hell, I hadn’t pegged the girl for a tree-hugger.
She nodded like she was warming up to the topic even as she leaned in closer. I don’t think she was even aware that she was doing it. “Everyone has different talents, different skills, but why?”
“Because otherwise we’d be damn boring.”
She smiled. “True. But Raven’s a healer, Cait’s an artist and one hell of a mother, myziettoVito is an enforcer,SignorLuciano’s a leader. If we were all the same, we wouldn’t just be boring; nothing would work.”
All right, that was something I could buy into. It made me curious, though. “So, what am I, darling?”
She smiled. Again, it was a little sheepish. Out of character for her, but really damn cute. Sexy as hell. “You’re a king,” she said simply.
“A king, huh?”
The girl certainly knew how to stroke a man’s ego. She was damn good at stroking other things as well.
She nodded. “The way you talk, the way you carry yourself; it’s like the world’s your kingdom and every fiber of your being knows it.”
“I do what I want and make no apologies for it,” I conceded.
She shook her head like I’d missed her point. “That supposes you’re selfish, and that contradicts everything I’ve seen from you—from the way you care about Leo’s girlfriend, Ella, to how you stood up for Leeri, even after she tried to serve your ass up. And—” She closed her mouth, cutting off whatever she’d been about to say.
Usually, I didn’t give a flying fuck about what others thought about me. I was damn curious, though, what she wasn’t saying. But since the look on her face said there was no point in inquiring further, there was something else I wanted to know.
“And what about you, darling? You’ve got healers and artists, enforcers andkings,but what are you?”
She stared back, silent for a moment, then shrugged. The movement looked a little robotic. “I don’t know.”
Her brow furrowed, and she shook her head. “I don’t think we should talk anymore.”
“Oh? You have something else in mind?”
“Si,I do,” she said as heat flared in her eyes. “I don’t know about you, but I think I’m ready for round two.”
Well, if it was what the girl wanted, who was I to stand in her way?
Chapter Eighteen
Greta
“Are you sure you don’t want me to wait for you, darling?” Brute asked from his bike outside my apartment building.
“I’m sure,” I said because I was… and I wasn’t. And that was just a whole other bag of crazy to deal with later. For now, we had more important things to worry about. “You should go check on Leeri. I’m just going to get fresh clothes, and I’ll meet you over at the Costas.”
He nodded, but as he moved to rev the throttle, I stepped back toward him.
