I sneak a peek at Rose who’s still quietly tending to my cuts. Any other woman would’ve freaked out and ran. Hell, if someone had said that to me, I would’ve been on the next jet out of the country.Dio, I’m a completecoglione. Fucking idiot.
“So, are you going to tell me what happened to my apartment or are you just going to pretend nothing happened?” Her enchanting eyes turn to mine, and I release a shuddering breath.
How can I tell her I did this? How can I admit that my inner demons got the best of me, and now, her apartment is reduced to ashes as a result of my temper?
“The second one.” I throw her a smirk. “Let’s just pretend the last ten minutes didn’t happen and go back to my room so I can fuck you properly in my bed.” It’s either that or I go on a bloody rampage and take out half the city.
“Dante….” Her cheeks flush with desire despite her disapproving tone.
Dio, how did you find this woman for me?
Rose places a bandage across my palm and tucks away all the supplies back in the kit. Before she turns away, my hands fasten around her hips and drag her back into my lap, so she straddles me. She lets out a faint gasp as my raging erection brushes her center.
“Stop trying to distract me from the fact that I’m now homeless,” she squeals.
“You’ll never be homeless, Rosa … but is it working?”
“Yes!” A soft chuckle escapes through her forced scowl.
“Do you want the truth?” The question pops out of its own accord. It’s like my damned lips get hijacked every time I’m around this woman.
“Always.” Her eyes lock on mine, andDio, the depth of emotion hidden behind brilliant blue steals the air from my failing lungs.
“You, right here, in this moment, are the only thing keeping me from tearing out of here and shooting up all of China Town until I find Feng Zhang and crucify him.” My hands curl around her thighs, fingers digging into her soft flesh. “This is my fault. Your apartment was torched because of me. Because of something I did in a moment of rage, and I’m about a second away from doing it again. Because no one hurts what’s mine and lives to tell the tale.” I draw in a breath and close my eyes. Rose presses her forehead to mine and brushes her nose against my own. I slowly pry my lids open and meet those lively orbs. “And You. Are. Mine. Rosa.”
She raises her hips and sinks her sweet pussy onto my cock.
It’s so unexpected, a tremor rolls through my entire body as I fill her.
“This isn’t your fault, Dante.” She starts to ride my cock, gliding up and down my slick shaft but her eyes remain pinned to mine. “If I thought it was, even for only an instant, I wouldn’t still be here. But I am. So, use me to quell the anger, fuck me until it’s gone. Because you think you’re this terrible monster who doesn’t deserve to be happy, to be loved, to have a family, but it’s bullshit. You say I’m yours now, but you and your monster have been mine all along.”
Something shatters inside me. I feel the tear across my heart, rending it in two because I’m so damned torn. I don’t deserve this woman.Dio, I could live a thousand years and never deserve her loyalty, her admiration, her love, but she’s giving it to me anyway. The asshole inside me wants to take it all, but a tiny hidden part knows how wrong it is to drag this woman through hell with me.
“Let’s get out of here.”
“What?” She falls back on her ass, staring up at me.
I’m so deep inside her I swear I feel her insides, and I’ve never felt so at home. “I need to get you out of town. I need to getmeout of town before I do something I’ll regret.”
“Right now? It’s the middle of the night. And I really should go see if I can salvage anything from my apartment—”
I cut her off, pressing two fingers to her mouth. “I’ll replace everything you lost, I swear.” The last thing I want to do is pull out of her, but I know myself, if I don’t leave now, the moment we’re done, the rage will return. And if Aldo drives, I can fuck her on the car ride out to Long Island. I gently lift her off me, despite my cock screaming and that pouty lip she’s throwing at me. “Pack a bag, we’re leaving in ten minutes.”
She twirls around, and I smack her ass becausecazzo,I can’t help myself. “Hurry up,” I bark as she scampers down the hallway. Then I grab my phone and shoot off a quick message to Aldo, then a second one to Tony.
Me:I need confirmation it was the Red Dragons that lit up Rose’s apartment.
Tony:Sure thing, boss. We’re on it.
Me:And if it was them, I don’t want you to move until I give the go ahead. Got it?
Tony:Got it.
I attempt to slide my phone into my pants’ pocket until I remember I’m still naked. Glancing up at the clock on the wall, I hiss out a curse as the hour hand ticks past the two. Tomorrow’s going to be a hell of a long day. But at least Rose will be far away from the city, far from Feng and far from that MIA asshole, Mark.
That reminds me.
Me:One more thing, Tony. Any luck with Dr. Mark’s credit cards?
