“If I sleep, I won’t be able to see you.”
“Please listen to me...” I bite my lips, “you’re white as a sheet.” I’ve never fussed this much over anyone but his stubbornness is infuriating. “I won’t sleep with you until you rest.”
“I could seduce you into it.” He moves to snatch me but I let out a yelp and chase for the exit. I shoot him a smile but shiver because it seems like he’s fuming and then I close the door. Outside I take a deep breath. It’s harder to say no to a mobster than I thought. Down in the kitchen I have breakfast, stuffing my face full of fresh fruit and pastries the chef had made for me but I get interrupted by the maid.
“Mr. Roz keeps asking for you.” Her face blushes. “He wants you with him upstairs.”
“Tell Mr. Roz he needs to take my advice first,” I murmur and flip a page in the newspaper. There’s an article about what happened in the alley but it’s a tiny one, so small that nobody will pay any attention. Once I’m done with breakfast, I wash up after myself even though the maid says she’ll do it but then she smiles at me as if appreciating the gesture. Drying the dishes, I’m busy putting them back on the shelf when I notice a giant man in the corner of my eye. He doesn’t say anything, just stares at me with bitterness.
I ignore him and walk out of the kitchen and roam down the hallway, and let out a squeak of surprise when I notice there’s a movie room. And a popcorn machine! Flipping through the selection, my eyes widen in surprise when there are even movies that aren’t out in the cinema yet. Walking out again, I take to the left but notice a figure moving behind me and I look back.
It’s him again. The man who was watching me down in the kitchen and I clench my fists.
“Stop stalking me”, I cry and he growls back,
“It’s my job.”
My jaw slacks. “Viper wants eyes on me even in his own house?”
The guard curtly nods and I roll my eyes. Oh my goodness, Viper truly is something else. He’s being way overprotective and I’m not sure what he thinks will happen in his own home but I know better than to protest. The guard follows me around like a shadow everywhere I choose to explore. At first I don’t mind so much but after a while, it starts to get on my nerves. I excuse myself by going into the bathroom and then sneak out again when he’s not looking.
It feels good to get rid of him and I walk over to the window and glance with longing at the pool that’s in the middle of the park. I could use a dip. There are some clouds on the sky but it was a long time since I went for a swim. Besides, maybe the cold water will help soothe the fire I feel on the inside...
6.
Viper
She refused to come up. Even after I had sent the maid for her. I pace like an animal in a cage in my room. I’m furious...and so turned on that it feels like I’m about to explode. My angel gave me orders. Had it come from a man, I would have slit his throat on the spot but somehow she makes everything sound appealing. She has a way to make her little commands sound softer than a nursery rhyme. Cursing, I get into bed because if this is what she wants then I guess I’m going to have to oblige.
Squeezing my eyes, I groan when I’m flooded with images of her from last night. She has a funny way of sleeping, on her stomach and with her butt sticking out. It took all I had to not bite into one of her cheeks and hear her shocked little gasp. Licking my lips, I imagine exploring her every crook and nook and my erection scrapes against the sheet. It’s been hell walking around with that thing. There’s so much need accumulated in it that I’ll probably bust as soon as Tamsin breathes on me.
One hour. That’s the amount of sleep I’m able to gain, before I’m up again and stab my legs into a pair of sweatpants and walk out of the door. Dolph is right outside and his eyes do a double take when he sees me.
“What?” I growl and he jerks his head.
“Nothing. It’s just the first time I’ve seen you looking like you don’t want to murder someone.”
He’s probably right because all I pretty much want to murder is Tamsin’s little pussy. I search for her, thinking that I’ll maybe find her in the movie room watching action flicks because she told me she liked those but she’s not there. I call her name several times and when I don’t get an answer, the more my agitation rises.
She doesn’t even seem to be in the house.
“Maybe she’s out by the pool,” Dolph drawls but I shake my head. There was no bikini or bathing suit in her suitcase and Tamsin wouldn’t dream of bathing naked. Not when I would drown any man around simply because they could walk in on her. But the closer I come to the open windows on the bottom floor, the more my suspicions arise and then I catch a splashing in the pool. She looks like she’s having a hell of a time, her body flipping like a dolphin and I clench my fist.
Don’t get pissed. At least she’s safe.
In the corner of my eye, I catch a movement and my head swats. One of the guards is hiding behind a couple of tall plants, watching her. I didn’t give him orders to watch her. I ordered my men to make themselves invisible. A leaf jerks and I see red when I notice his hand down his pants. Grabbing Dolph’s gun out of the holster, I march up to the guard and fire a shot straight to the back of his head and he falls face down.
The gun had a silencer and Tamsin is diving underwater, facing away from the house. She didn’t notice anything.
Dragging a ragged breath, I rasp, “Get rid of the body. And get someone to clean up the mess. I don’t want Tamsin to notice.”
“Yes, boss.”
I give him his gun back. “And Dolph if I ever catch you spying on Tamsin like he did, you’ll meet the same fate.”
Dolph nods and I march over to the pool. I move to stand at the edge of it as Tamsin comes up gasping for air and she jostles when she sees me. Her green eyes flare.
“Up already?”
