“Demetri,” I challenge.

I hear a choked laugh to my right, and I glance over at Luca who is standing by the sink with his silverware midair watching the back and forth between us. It isn’t until he grins the most salacious grin and nods his head in a manner that would suggest I turn around that I feel Demetri’s heated energy on my left side. I turn and have to look up because Demetri is so close. My food is slid across the counter in haste, and within seconds, I am lifted off my stool and tossed on top of the counter.

“What the fuck?” I fluster, hiding the excitement I feel at being lifted so easily.

“You did it now, gorgeous.” Luca crosses his arms and leans against the sink to watch Demetri’s show.

“I will tell you this one time and one time only.” His hand snakes around my jaw so that I have no choice but to look at him. “You being jealous, it’s a turn on for me. You not listening to an order, is not.” He runs his thumb over my bottom lip. “You want to play games with your refusal to obey, then I’ll have to show you what really happens to bad girls who don’t listen.”

My belly flips at his words. There is something about Demetri that makes my insides squeeze with an unbearable intensity before becoming jelly. “It isn’t fair. You know that, right?”

“What isn’t?”

“That you get me, and I get your past.”

“I’m a damn lucky man, aren’t I,” he states it as a fact.

I huff a breath. “Luck has nothing to do with it.” I throw his words back at him that he said to Ciarán and Domenico when they complimented me and told him he was lucky to have me.

“When it comes to your virginity, you couldn’t be more wrong.”

“Arrogant ass.” I push at his chest, wanting him to back up so I can get down.

But he doesn’t budge.

“Ah, ah,” he tsks, pushing my see-through shirt to the side and finagles my tank top and bra to expose my breast. The tip of his middle finger circles my nipple, teasing it to a hard point. He opens his hand and palms the tender tissue, squeezing a few times before dropping his head and sucking me into his mouth. I whimper at the force he uses. When his teeth connect with my rosy bud, I drop my head back and mewl at the warm, stinging sensation. I feel his arm snake around my waist. He pulls me to the edge of the counter, into his hips. His erection is on full display through his dress pants. My ego soars knowing I can make him that hard, that fast. I’m in my own little world as he works me. Then he pulls back and says, “Think of it this way.” He watches his thumb flip back and forth where his mouth just left. “You get the expertise of an experienced man.” He pinches my nipple. “Instead of a fumbling idiot.” Then he drops his head and sinks his teeth back into my now throbbing nipple. My hands go to his shoulders and my head drops back. He maneuvers me to lay back. The button on my white pants is popped. The zipper released. His lips caress every inch of my soft belly before gliding his tongue down through the open V. I moan knowing what is about to come. Me. My pants are jerked off my hips. It’s a sudden movement that jilts my body, making my eyes spring open. I hear the deep, unforgiving thunder of pleasure in Demetri’s chest, but in that moment, I am frozen. Because with the first swipe of Demetri’s tongue over my clit, my eyes roll back in my head, and when I reopen them, I see a shadow. Luca is standing there, leaning against the counter. His arms are at his sides, and he is watching us. Our eyes connect. His pupils flare. My back arches as Demetri manipulates my clit. I want to jump up, cover myself, run and hide, be embarrassed for myself, but the look in Luca’s eyes and the clench of his jaw as he watches on has me staying in my spot. My hands go to Demetri’s hair. Luca’s hand goes to his groin. I pull Demetri into me. A deep chuckle sounds through the room. Not one of ridicule but of satisfaction. My mouth drops open. My insides tighten and when Demetri slides a finger inside me, I moan with the deepest urge to come and please myself, Demetri, and the witness to our sexual act. Two pumps of Demetri’s thick, unforgiving finger has me mewling, gripping at his shoulders. When I don’t think I can take anymore, when I think the world will explode around me, shattering into shards of shiny pieces of me, Demetri stops. His hand grabs mine and pulls me up to face him, breaking the connection between Luca and me. My focus is blown wide at the change, spinning back to normal when I connect with Demetri. His hand captures my jaw and his thumb presses against my bottom lip. He swipes at what’s left of my gloss while his gaze is steadfast on mine. “Bad girls don’t get rewards.”

I’m flustered, confused, and stunned at the sudden shift in what is transpiring. He knew Luca was still in the room. He knew he was watching. It was me who never gave it a thought until he and I connected eyes. How could he be mad at that? And why was I so turned on by Luca watching? I open my mouth to argue that point when Demetri pulls me down from the counter. My legs shake, feeling weak. He steps into me and pins me against the edge of the stone. “Eavesdropping on the wrong person will get you killed, Haven. I’d rather not defend my wife just because she can’t stop herself from being nosey. Secrets aren’t secrets in this family. They are withheld protection. Which is what I made a vow to do. Protect you.”

“I—”

He plants his lips on mine. They’re hard, bruising, and unforgiving. When he pulls back, his gaze flicks over my shoulder to where I assume Luca is still standing, still watching. Then he turns his attention back to me. The look in his eyes is so feral my insides twist into a knot. He huffs a disbelieving noise and steps back. As he walks away, he orders me to go clean myself up, that we are leaving in five minutes.

I button my pants and as I’m adjusting my shirt, watching him walk away, he turns back and says, “That black garment you covered your body with. Take it off. I want to watch every man salivate over what is mine.”

I linger, watching his back disappear around a corner I have yet to explore. I just stand in my spot when I hear Luca behind me.

“Better do as he says.”

I twist and look at him. “Is he always so moody?” I look back in the direction Demetri walked.

“No.”

“He knew you were there, watching us. How could he be mad?”

“So did you but you did nothing to stop him.”

“I didn’t know until I saw you. He has a way of making my brain become mush.”

He snorts a chuckle. “And yet you let him continue while you connected eyes with me.”

My skin flushes, knowing he is right. I look away, embarrassed that he just watched Demetri go down on me. “This is not how I thought…”

“What did you think?”

“Nothing.” I shake my head, feeling overwhelmed, wanting to tell him how my feelings and emotions have been all over the place these last few days. Excited that I will be a wife to a man like Demetri, but also lost when it comes to his ups and downs. That I have fallen completely for his overbearing friend, but there is also a small voice telling me to be careful with my heart and only give away so much of my love. But I also know my own words have fallen flat and it’s already too late.

I don’t even excuse myself. I just walk away. An emotion I’ve never felt before hits me hard. I take off my heels and run up the stairs, and instead of going into the bathroom to take care of myself, I drop down onto the edge of his bed. After a few minutes, I grab my phone and call Paisley once again. She doesn’t answer. I try my mom, needing to hear the comfort of her voice, but she doesn’t answer either. I sit for a few more minutes before I decide to get up and get ready. The whole time, my thoughts become scattered unanswered questions only I have the answers to.
