Everyone has happy women with them, except me. I have the devil in my house. “Good, what’s the news?”
“It wasn’t a hit. It was a reroute—” His voice grows muddled as he says something in the background. Can’t they all not be getting laid when they’re on the phone with me?
“What the hell do you mean?” My patience is running thin.
“The shipment was diverted to the Capri’s warehouse. Maddie, stop for—” He lets out a small gasp.
Fucker.
“Okay. Is that all?”I can’t handle much more of listening to them messing around.
There’s a thump, like he dropped his phone. “Sorry, boss. You alright?”
“I’m just at Rosa’s engagement dinner.”
The line goes silent.
“Luca,” he sighs.
“I don’t want to hear it. Not today, Grayson. I can deal with this.”
“Fine.” He huffs.
“Keep me updated,” I say and cut the call. As I stuff it back in my pocket, I can’t help but notice the distinct sound of Rosa’s sniffles. I head towards the sound and lightly tap on the door. “Rosa, baby, can you let me in?”
The lock clicks, and I breathe a sigh of relief she still trusts me. Her puffy red eyes greet me. Instinctively, I wrap my arms around her tiny frame, my brows furrowing as I feel her ribs through her skin.
Resting my chin on the top of her head, I tip my face forward and inhale her sweet floral scent. Kicking the door open further, I walk us in, Rosa still attached to my torso. Her warm tears spilling through my shirt.
Closing the door and turning the lock, my back against the door. I tip her chin up, forcing her to look at me.
“Who is he? Why the sudden engagement?” My jaw ticks.
I know I have no right to be angry, I’m engaged. But not out of choice.
She casts her gaze down and bites her lower lip.
“You will always be mine, tesoro. Always. Now, tell me. Why are you doing this?”
“Because I need to move on.”
I take a step back. I know her well enough to know she’s lying to me, the way her pupils dilate, the way she’s now picking at the skin around her fingers.
“Do not lie to me, Rosa.”
She closes the distance between us, and I close my eyes as she trails her finger along my jaw.
“You have your reasons for your engagement, I have my own. I have to do this.” Her voice is stern, but she keeps stroking my face, skimming them south, down my shirt and stopping at my belt. I bite back the groan from her distraction tactics. All the blood is leaving my brain and heading straight for my dick.
“You love him?”
Her eyes go wide. I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s definitely not love her face is filled with.She shakes her head and relief floods me.
“Okay, better question. Do you still want me? Because I want you. I’ve never stopped,” I rasp, brushing my nose against her jaw. She shivers against my touch, tipping her head back.
I trail my index finger along her arms, a tiny little moan escaping her lips.
“Yes. God, yes Luca.”
