Chapter 28

AswedrivedownLas Vegas Boulevard, toward the Pink Sapphire, I hold Bellamy’s hand and listen to Tobias’s side of a phone call with his mother. From the sounds of it, they’re discussing his brother, Gabe, and what next steps should be.
The three of us remain undecided on when to tell his and Bellamy’s families what happened with Lorenzo Trentini. Tobias hinted at something to Julian Harper when they spoke last night, but he didn’t provide the man with any details.
Bellamy thinks we should tell them right away and gauge their reactions. I prefer to wait until I’m finished tracing the finances of those we suspect of being involved. Despite Lorenzo not talking, we were able to find the names of at least three people working for him. That kind of information is invaluable, and my work will go much faster.
Tobias is on Bellamy’s side of the argument, which means I’ll probably get outvoted. It was easier when she just deferred to me. But I would be lying if I said it wasn’t nice having Tobias back in my life.
Bellamy squirms, and I glance down to find Tobias running a hand up her bare thigh, beneath her dress. She bites her lip and squeezes my hand as his fingers travel higher and higher while he talks on the phone.
I lean in and nuzzle her neck, giving her an extra dose of stimulation as I watch Tobias’s fingers dance under her skirt. She isn’t wearing panties, and I can tell by the way she’s squirming that he’s found her clit.
A little moan escapes her, and she bites her lip. I nip her ear with my teeth, then whisper, “Quiet, love. Tobias is on the phone. You wouldn’t want your future mother-in-law to hear you coming.”
The turmoil on her face as she fights the urge to cry out is delightful to watch. Another moan escapes, and I shift in my seat and put my free hand at her throat. “Perhaps this will help you keep quiet,” I say, squeezing lightly.
Her eyes grow wide as I tighten my hold on her throat, always careful not to go too far.
Her mouth opens and closes, and she gasps as Tobias moves his wrist and stimulates her from a different angle.
“That’s a good girl,” I murmur as she looks at me with fear and arousal. “Come for Tobias, love.”
Judging by the way she grips my fingers, she’s close, and I keep my hold steady around her throat until she gasps out a moan and trembles against me. When I let go of her throat, she lays her head against my shoulder, trying to catch her breath. Tobias, who has kept his gaze straight ahead this entire time, looks down at her as he pulls his hand free and licks his finger quietly.
“I’ll expect another update tonight,” he says before tucking his phone into his jacket pocket.
He leans over and kisses her cheek. “Good girl.”
Not letting go of my hand, she sits up straighter so she can face him. “Thank you, Sir. That was incredible.”
He winks and picks up her other hand, kissing each of her knuckles. “That’s what you get for sitting next to me with no panties on.”
“I’ll keep that in mind,” she says with a giggle, knowing full-well we’re the ones who took her panties from her before we ever got on the plane this morning.
Our car pulls into the VIP drop-off zone at the Sapphire, and we pile out of the vehicle and head for the elevators inside.
Back in our suite, Bellamy hugs me tight and then reaches out for Tobias to hold her hand.
“Do you mind if I go take a nap?”
I kiss her tenderly, and she melts against me. It’s almost painful to let her go, and I want to go nap with her, but Tobias and I have work to do.
She steps away, and Tobias takes her in his arms for an equally tender kiss. “Sweet dreams, vixen.”
She chews on her lip, then gives us a little wave before disappearing into her room.
“What’s happening with your brother?” I ask when we’re alone.
Tobias pulls a bottle of water out of the mini bar and leans against the counter. “There are some signs of brain activity, so now they’re leaning towards keeping him on life support.”
“That’s a good thing, yeah?”
Tobias looks pained as he cracks the seal on the water. “For my mother, of course it’s good. This is killing her. But with rumors that he was involved in the attack, on top of his terminal cancer, I’m not so sure that my father isn’t correct. It might be time to let him go. I don’t want my brother dead, but I also don’t want to go to war with my family over something he did. They’ll never believe he was involved even if they’re faced with irrefutable proof, and I won’t rest until I find out if he was acting alone. If I discover my father or her father was behind all of this, I won’t be able to let it go just because they’re family. She’s my top responsibility above all other responsibilities on my plate.”
I put a hand on his shoulder. “Our responsibility. We’ll face this battle together.”
