“And Hunter doesn’t mind?”
I laugh. “Hunter won’t notice unless he needs it for something. And if he does, we’ll move.”
That seems to satisfy her, and she falls into step behind me. I’m almost tempted to give her our hand signal, which means I want her beside me. So much about our dynamic has changed, but I just want things to be the way they were. That’s not going to happen, though. It can’t.
When we reach the suite on the top floor of the hotel, Tobias and I do a quick security sweep before we let Bellamy in. For some reason, I decide not to tell him about the cameras. That may come back to bite me later, but I’ll deal with it if it does.
I point her to the largest bedroom, and Tobias immediately claims the one right next door. I settle for the one across the living room, knowing I won’t sleep much anyway.
Bellamy disappears into her room, leaving me alone with Tobias. His glare would frighten most men, but I spent too many summers with him as a teenager to truly fear him.
“We agree that Bellamy’s safety is our top priority. That’s the only reason we’re here,” he says after several minutes of silence.
“Fair enough. She’s right, you know? About us working together. It’s the best thing for her.”
He’s silent, but he doesn’t disagree, so I pull out my phone. “I’m going to call Matteo.”
Ten minutes later, a knock sounds and I pull up the door camera on my phone. Matteo stands there, but he isn’t alone. Luke and Victor are behind him.
“Fair warning, mate, Matteo brought friends. I trust them with my life. I’m not sure how much Bellamy told you about our life here, but we’ve been working together for the past several years.”
Tobias glowers. “I don’t care how much you trust these people, they are not to be trusted with Bellamy’s safety.”
I snort. “She’s seen them all naked. They’ll keep her safe.”
A gasp catches our attention, and we turn to find Bellamy standing in the door of her bedroom.
“It’s not like he makes it sound,” she says, glaring at me. “We run an exclusive sex club. I’ve seen all of them play there before. Owen is the only one I’ve slept with.”
I can’t help but smirk. It’s childish of me, but I enjoy hearing her acknowledge our sexual relationship in front of her fiancé.
“Does your father know any of this?” Tobias asks, shoving his hands into his pockets.
“Of course not. He thinks I’ve been traveling the world with Owen as my bodyguard.”
Tobias rolls his eyes. “Clearly, he took the body part of his job a little too seriously.”
Another knock sounds and Matteo’s voice comes over my phone. “Owen, I know you’re in there staring at us on your creepy little tablet. Open the damn door.”
I jerk the door open and let the formidable threesome in.
Luke makes a beeline for Bellamy, his arms open for a hug, but Tobias steps in his path.
Luke just laughs and holds up his hand to show off his wedding ring. “Zara would kill me. Bellamy is like a sister. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to make sure she’s OK.” He brushes past Tobias and pulls Bellamy close.
“I’m fine, Luke. Don’t antagonize Tobias. He’s not used to all of you.”
Luke turns and offers his hand to Tobias. “Luke Bowden.”
“Tobias Hunt.”
“You met Matteo. This is Victor Serrano,” I say, pointing to the stoic man still standing near the door.
Tobias raises an eyebrow. “Quite the little crew you’ve amassed, Owen. How did you end up here running a sex club?”
“You told him?” Matteo barks.
“Technically Bellamy did.”
