Bingo.
“And?” Grayson interrupts.
“Well, she was our bargaining chip over the Falcones for Maddie.”
That isn’t even remotely true. Marco made clear his thoughts on his daughter.
Frankie starts to shift uncomfortably, and Grayson notices far too easily. “Do you have a fucking problem?” he asks Frankie, who rubs his hands along his stubble.
“No problem. Want me to take the body out… boss?”
“Yeah, fine. Go and get the supplies from the warehouse and come back. Grayson, you’re with me.”
I storm past them both, my restraint now wearing thin. I have to get away from Frankie. I head to my office and drop down on the desk that’s scattered with CCTV footage photos looking for Maddie.
“Should I send a condolence card out to Marco?” Grayson smirks and sits opposite me.
I shoot him a look in warning.
“What do we do now, boss?”
The door flies open, and my heart is in my throat. I squeeze my eyes shut, hoping it’s not her.
“Luca, I can’t get the coffee machine working!”
She waltzes towards me, completely oblivious to Grayson. Her hair a curly mess, her cheeks flushed. My god, she looks beautiful. I can’t take my eyes off her, in that black robe that leaves very little to the imagination.
Wrapping her arms around my neck, she goes up on her tiptoes. I suck in a breath, completely forgetting who the fuck I am right now.
Grayson clears his throat, and I give him a death glare. I know I’ll have some explaining to do. But, right now, I have a semi hard cock and the woman who invades my mind is wrapped around me.
“Sorry, I heard the door go and a car leave. I assumed they’d gone. I went to make a coffee, but it’s broken, so I’ve started running a bath instead. I thought you might like to join me. I really want to taste you again, Luca. I can’t stop thinking about it.”
She looks up at me through her lashes. It takes everything I can muster not to groan in front of my best friend. Or throw him out and spread her across my desk.
I bring my lips to her ear. I can see the goosebumps appear along her throat.
“Baby, you can suck my cock any time you like. Seeing you on your knees for me, your mouth stuffed with my dick, is what dreams are made of. So go and run that bath. I’ll meet you in a minute.”
I watch as she blushes and she steps out. I run my hand through my hair as the door clicks shut. I know I’m on borrowed time with her, with everything going on right now. So, I want to make the most of it. My sliver of happiness will be ripped away if Romano was right and Frankie has Maddie.
“So, railing your captive. That’s a new one for you.”
I turn to look at Grayson, who’s biting back a laugh. It’s the first time I’ve seen him smile in weeks.
“Fuck off, it’s not like that.”
“Whatever, boss. I don’t care. What I do care about is why you lied to Frankie.”
Shit.
I pull out my phone and show him the photos of the documents Romano gave me. I can’t tell him who gave me the intel. I can’t risk Romano’s threats. I’ve sent the driver’s license to Enzo to investigate. I have to err on the side of caution, for now, until Enzo can confirm whether tracking Frankie leads us to Maddie or not.
“I think Frankie is working with the Falcones. You were right, something wasn’t adding up. He appears out of nowhere, wanting to work with me. I met with Romano Capri in Sicily. Frankie wasn’t a damn bodyguard, he was his right-hand man. He left because he had family business to attend to in New York. Every damn time, he knows exactly where the Falcones new hideouts are. He was the last one to see Maddie.”
I watch as the realization settles over Grayson, his face turning red.
“Can I do the honors when he’s back?” His teeth showing in a menacing smile.
