“Fuck off, Leo.”
The underboss for New York stands, his hands held up in surrender. “Was just rescuing your wife from your fourth cousin or whoever the fuck she is while you were taking a shit or diddling yourself in the bathroom.”
The look in Diego’s eyes tells me he could kill his friend right now and not regret it.
“Now.” Leonardo holds up the bottle of whiskey in his hands. “I’m going to take this and see if there is a woman inside that I’mnotrelated to who might be looking for someone to cuddle tonight.”
We watch his exit, and I decide that I know what side of the Leonardo Caruso fence I sit on, and it’s one filled with admiration and appreciation.
“You like him,” Diego comments.
I turn back, a soft smile on my face. I don’t need to answer. It wasn’t a question but a statement that he needed to vocalize for his sanity.
“I wasn’t in the bathroom,” he adds, still standing a few steps away from me. “I was checking in with Lorenzo.”
“Filling him in on all Chicago’s secrets,” I joke.
He gives me a strange look. “Christina is a bitch. Her loser husband cheated on her with the nanny, and she’s convinced herself that every man cheats so she doesn’t feel so alone. That sounds like I’m making an excuse for her, but I’m not. I want you to know that it’s not personal.”
Sliding my hands into the pockets of my pants, I let myself look at him unabashedly. His jaw is set tight, which isn’t abnormal, but when paired with the narrowing of his eyes, his temper ricochets from his face like an almighty bellow of rage.
It’s annoying that even bristling with fury, he’s more handsome than anyone I’ve laid eyes on. I mentally pat myself on the back. Trapping a husband as delicious as Diego Greco isn’t theworstdecision I’ve ever made.
“You’re mad?”
He nods once.
“I won’t apologize for standing up for myself.”
His frown deepens. “I’m not mad about that.”
The line between my brows pulls together tightly.
“We’re leaving.”
I stand, looking back at the house. “I need to say goodbye to your parents.”
“We don’t have time for that.”
I step toward the house. “It’ll only take a second. I want them to like me…”
“You let Leonardo flirt with you when you knew I was listening.”
I pause.
“I onlyhearda recount of the way you stripped Christina down, and my cock is hard. I’m annoyed I wasn’t there to witness it firsthand.”
I swallow.
“I came out here searching for you, only to find you with Leonardo. You let him joke about you being his.”
I step toward him. “I belong to me, Diego.”
“Wrong.”
Our bodies flush, I drag my hand down his chest, enjoying the possessive gleam in his eye.
“You claimed me, Sia. I’m still not sure why, but the why is irrelevant when it comes to your body and how it responds to me. You forget that I told you from the very start that I planned on claiming you, and you were silly enough to make it legally binding,” he whispers.
