My protective instinct kicks into gear. “Office, now!” I bark at them. Their eyes go wide as they shuffle off, out of my sight. The prick smirks at me and carries on walking, and suddenly possessiveness gets the better of me. I turn to a stunned Sienna and guide her chin up with my finger. “Just trust me, okay?” I ask and she quickly nods in return. Then I turn on my heel and stalk over to the prick, stopping him in his tracks. My hand laces around his throat, his eyes go wide in shock as I squeeze tightly on his windpipe.
“If I so much as see you glance in her direction again, I’ll slit your fucking throat and leave you to bleed out on my floor. Now fuck off out of my sight.” Violence drips from my tone.
A smirk creeps up his face as he nods. I loosen my grip and push him away and he slowly steps around my body to follow the rest of the men. I bring my sights back on Sienna, who is still planted in the same spot I left her, flicking her gaze between me and Luca with an eyebrow raised.
Luca breaks the silence with a chuckle. “Always the hot head this one,” he points at me winking at Sienna.
“Really brother,” I cock my brow at him.
Closing the gap between him and Sienna, Luca offers his hand to her. She accepts as he brings her hand to his lips for a quick kiss.
“I’m sorry about this. I’m Luca Russo. It’s nice to finally meet you,formally,and see the woman that’s finally tamed the beast.” He winks at me.
Oh, he has no idea.
She offers him a small smile as she removes her hand at the first opportunity, still eyeing me.
Good Girl.
“It’s nice to meet you too, Luca,” she says sweetly, not an ounce of fear in her tone.
Clapping Luca on the shoulder, I find my words. “Right brother, let’s get to the office before those fuckers start a fight amongst themselves in there.” Luca nods and heads off to the office.
Quickly reaching Sienna, I drop my head to hers.
“Thank you, Baby. Thank you for trusting me,” I whisper. Propping up on her tiptoes, she presses her soft lips to mine for a slow kiss. Fuck, no matter where we are, this woman always has an effect on me.
“Stay in the lounge. I won’t be long. Then we can go back to other more exciting things,” I say with a wink.
“I’ll be ready and waiting Champ,” she quips back with a tempting smile. Stealing one more quick kiss, I reluctantly leave her and head to the office.
The shards of glass crunch under my trainers as I walk into the office. Luca sits in a recliner that’s now back at the desk.
“I see you had a tear up in here, Keller,” Luca grins.
“It was either that or the Falcone’s, so the chair took the brunt of it. For now.”
Luca clears his throat, takes up the picture of me and Sienna and crumpling it in his fist before tossing it in the trash.
“Keller, I have a plan. I can’t risk you before the fight. I can’t let you lose your head and do more damage than good, to yourself, to Sienna, and to us. We’re keeping close tabs on Jamie and the Falcones. They are a weak unit. We will exploit them and take them down. In the meantime, Enzo will keep watch of Sienna when you aren’t with her.” He says, pointing to the prick from earlier who has eyes for my girl.
My fists clench. “I don’t fucking think so, Luca.”
I storm past the men and stare out the window, taking in the skyline, trying to calm the rage inside of me. Usually, this makes me feel powerful, like I can take on the world. Today it does nothing. I simply stare as the world goes by. I know Luca is right. I can’t risk it. They know who I am now, my mask has been stripped. Thoughts of Sienna flood my brain. In that moment, I know what I have to do. Everything I do from this day on is for her and our future.
Everyone in the room is silent. The only noise is the irritating tapping coming from Luca’s zippo against the desk.
“Fine” I huff.
“I want two men protecting Sienna, and it sure as shit isn’t going to be that limp dick,” I say, pointing to the fucker that was eye fucking Sienna earlier. My eyes dagger into his. He doesn’t even flinch. Maybe he isn’t a complete waste of space.
“Enzo stays. He runs the best security service in the country. I give you my word”
“Enzo,” Luca shouts. He snaps his head to him, giving him a slow nod. “Don’t fucking eye up Keller’s woman again, otherwise I won’t be able to stop him killing you. Okay?” Luca tells him, trying to keep a straight face.
“Of course,” the prick responds, offering me a nod. Letting out a huff I nod in response. Fuck it. I know I won't be leaving her side until this is over, so I will agree. For now.
“Okay, agreed. Keller. I trust you have everything under control here. I’m going to have to skip dinner, things to do, wars to start and all that. I’ll leave Enzo stationed in the building and send over Nico. I’ll speak to you later.”
