“Sin, swap seats with me I don’t want to see them fuck.” Havoc whines, I bite the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing.
“Get fucked. I don’t want to see her herpes ridden snatch.” I balk at Chanel’s comment.
“Herpes or not, her pussy tastes fucking amazing and fits me like a glove, so perfect and tight.” My mouth drops open and my brows hit my hairline at Royal’s comment, he just defended me against his bitch of a cousin. Chanel shoots him a glare but says nothing further, I tuck into Royal and close my eyes smiling, maybe in a different life he and I could have been more than this.
* * *
I wake to the feeling of lips on mine, I snap my eyes open and melt into him, he pulls back and smirks down at me. Fuck, this man is going to be the death of all my panties. Even wearing his clothes, no makeup and my hair in a messy bun he doesn’t seem put off by my appearance and that warms my heart.
“We gotta move Sirena.” Nodding, I slowly sit up and shuffle off his lap, he climbs out of the car and offers me a hand to help me out. I look around us and see we are parked in front of a beach style home. It even has the wrap around porch, the waves of the ocean can be heard crashing against the shore. Royal’s hold on my good hand tightens as he leads me inside the home, it’s very rustic and decorated in bright colors. He leads me into a tiny kitchen where a woman in a teal pantsuit sits on one of the stools, she stands when she sees us and smiles.
“Erika meet Amelia, she is going to tend to your wounds.” I look up at him in surprise. “Amelia is a doctor and my cousin.” The warning in his tone is clear, don’t fuck with her or try anything. I look the woman over, she’s stunning. Brown hair with hints of blonde that frames her slender face, her green eyes hold a hint of disdain but it isn’t directed at me. “Meelz–.”
“Don’t, Royal.” She snaps cutting him off. “The next time you have one of your henchmen drag me out of my room in the middle of the night I’ll stab the bastard. I told you, I want no part of this life and I’m not at your beck and call to tend to the wounds of your conquests.” I jerk backward at the venom in her tone.
“She isn’t some conquest.” The protective tone of his voice has Amelia eyeing skeptically. “Help her and when we get back from getting Chaos, you’re free to go.” Her eyes widen.
“Where the hell is Chaos?” Royal gives her the cliff notes version of what happened.
“Mom told me her and dad were flying to Miami to help your dad but she never said anything about Chaos, I’m sorry.”
“You should have been in Miami.” He forces out in an even tone.
“Don’t judge me, I love my father more than you know but there are also a lot of things you don’t know, Royal. I have my reasons for staying away from my dad.” He ignores her as he turns to me and cups my face gently between his hands, before I can react he places a chaste kiss to my lips then my forehead.
“Stay here, don’t run, Sirena. If I’m forced to chase you down you won’t like the man I’ll become.” Reaching up I grip his forearms and hold his gaze.
“I promise I’ll be here when you get back.” He stares at me for a minute longer then nods and steps back and walks away, I watch him transfixed until he disappears out the front door. Immediately my stomach begins to knot with worry, what if something happens to him? Before I think better of it I race after him and out the door, the moment he hears me call his name he turns away from the waiting SUV and jogs over to me, I meet him halfway and throw myself at him wrapping my arms around his neck and ignoring the pain that tears through me as I smash my lips to his. One arm locks around my waist to secure me to him while the other tangles in my hair as he deepens the kiss. I show him with this kiss that he means more to me then I want him to, I need him to know that I never meant to fall for him on my hunt for revenge but I’m not mad I got this taste of happiness with him before everything comes to an end.
He breaks the kiss when Havoc calls out to him, resting his forehead against mine he breathes me in as we just look at each other saying so much without words, he feels the same as I do and that scares the shit out of him.
“Be here when I get back and be ready to be owned.” His words send a shiver down my spine, He places me on my feet and jogs back to the SUV. I stand here watching until the taillights disappear, I turn to head back inside but pause at the sight of Amelia leaning against the post on the porch. She stands there with her arms crossed over her chest and a smug look on her face that irks me.
“I’ve never seen him be gentle with a woman who wasn’t his mother.”
Frowning up at her I ask. “I don’t follow.”
She shakes her head and shoots me a deadpan look. “Royal Murdoch is a cold, heartless, killer with no moral compass.” Anger bristles inside me at her description of him.
“You don’t know shit.”
“I know more than this family would like, trust me. I lied earlier.”
“About?” She shrugs her shoulders and motions for me to follow her inside, I do as she says shocked to spot four men on the way inside patrolling the outside of the property, he left men behind to protect us. Amelia claims her seat from earlier and motions for me to take the other, once seated she begins to pull out what she needs from her bag and lines it all up on the counter. She begins to clean and disinfect each of my fingers ignoring my hiss of pain.
“My mom did tell me that Royal brought a girl home.”
I snort. “That’s not exactly how I would have put it.” Amelia chuckles and applies bandages to my fingers.
“Well, from what I heard my cousin couldn’t stand the sight or thought of you being hurt so he wouldn’t watch any of the recordings from when they were…. Interrogating you.” I jolt in shock, she shoots me atold ya solook. “Royal is worse than my uncle, unlike uncle Bishop my cousin thirsts for blood and loves to hurt, maim and end lives. The fact he couldn’t watch some girl get the shit beaten out of her to extract the location of one of his cousins says more than you think.”
I mull over her words trying to read between the lines but I’m scared to let myself think too hard on it because then that would mean Royal actually does care and I don’t know if I could keep my word to Chanel if I knew there was a chance of him and I being together.
“Royal has never and I mean never allowed a woman to deter him or come between him, the twins and Chanel. It has always been the four of them against everyone else, even our parents. The four of them want this life, when he was denied taking over as Don, they created their own family.”
“The Memento Mori?”
She nods. “Yes. Royal has amassed an army of his own behind Uncle Bishop’s back. What my uncle doesn’t know is that all the men under Royal’s grandfather are all loyal to Royal, not him. My cousin isn’t supposed to take over until he is twenty-one but that changed when he went to Miami.”
