Before joining the cartel, that comment would have infuriated me. Now, it’s likepass the saltat the family dinner table. This is the way these assholes think. Women are assets to be used, sold, bought, and fucked.
“Yeah, yeah, I’ll rein it in.” I yawn instead of slitting his throat.
“The boss had me put a couple of soldiers outside.” Jose steps back, and I see the black-clad men with rifles in their arms.
Pablo doesn’t trust me. Not because he has an inkling about who I am, but because he thinks I’ll take her for myself and sell her. It’s likely he sensed something last night.
Then again, no one really trusts anyone in this life.
So I smirk. “Tell Pablo he has nothing to worry about. I’m just after her pussy. You know I don’t fuck a lot of the goods.”
I don’t fuck any of them. They think I do when I know I had better fake it or raise suspicion.
There is no way I would touch a single woman.
I glance back at Isabelle. Well, except for that one.
“Yeah, you need to get laid more,amigo. You are a pain in the ass.” Jose grins.
“Fuck off,” I say and go to shut the door. He puts his foot in the way.
“Don’t do anything stupid, Dex. I saw the twinkle in your eye. She belongs to the boss.”
It’s not a friendly warning. It’s a threat.
I stay on brand.
“You think I want to marry her? I sampled her pussy. It’s not that sweet.”
He relaxes and lifts his chin in response.
“See you in a few days, asswipe.” I shut the door on his laughter then run my hand over my hair and watch Isabelle as she rolls over.
I had a feeling she wasn’t asleep.
Those puppy dog sapphire eyes connect with mine and I walk over and sit my ass on the bed.
“It’s going to take a little longer than I thought to get out of here. Although it gives me time to get a bit more prepared.”
“In the meantime, am I safe?”
“No. While you’re here, you are not safe at all,” I say truthfully. “Stay quiet. Say nothing. Do as I say, and I will get us out of here.”
I slip back inside the bed and remain quiet as Isabelle tucks herself against me closely. But as I hear her breathing soften and realize she’s fallen asleep, something inside me starts to awaken.
It’s more than just the command to protect.
It feels like she ismine to protect.
––––––––
FOR THE NEXT twenty-four hours, I lay low, formulating my plan. I take Isabelle to the kitchen to get the chefs to make our meals and force her to eat outside in the sunshine.
It’s mostly for show, so doesn’t lose her mind staying in the room. No one will touch her while Pablo has given her to me. That doesn’t mean one of them won’t go rogue and try, so I make a big deal about glaring at anyone who stares too long at her.
I also run my hand crudely over her ass and the side of her breasts in public. I warned her I would touch her, but I wasn’t prepared for the hitch of her breath and the way my cock thickens at her feminine little moans.
“It’s a pretty nice house if it wasn’t full of bad people,” Isabelle says when we walk through the garden the second day.
