“Never in a million years would I have guessed that Marta would do something like that, that she’d betray me to my freaking dad. I always thought she was on my side, you know? I thought she was looking out for me. Turns out I was wrong.”
“Could be. Perhaps in her own way she’d convinced herself of the rightness of her actions. Might be that she thought she was doing you a favor.”
Emily sat up, running her hand through her thick, dark hair. “It’s too much to process.”
I sat up with her. “Not to mention that you don’t need to worry about anything right now other than getting better. I’ll find out the how’s and whys of what happened.”
Still sitting up, she turned her attention to her twisted ankle.
“Be careful on that thing,” I said. “You lucked out by not fracturing it. You go too hard too quickly and you might make it worse.”
Without replying, she rotated her ankle slowly. I watched, expecting her to let out a cry of pain. That didn’t happen. Instead, she turned toward me and flashed a smile.
“Barely hurt at all.”
“That’s good. But don’t—”
Emily didn’t even let me finish my sentence before she slid off the bed and onto her feet. Instead of buckling under the pain, she stood normally.
“You OK?” I asked.
“It hurts a little bit. But nothing crazy. Much better than earlier.”
I watched her step around the room. The sight of Emily moving around, completely naked, was almost hypnotic. Her heavy breasts bounced with each step, the muscles of her long, slender legs tensing. She was a thing of beauty. When she was done testing out her ankle, she turned to me with a smile.
“Good as new, I think.”
“Maybe. Still, I wouldn’t go running on that thing if I were you. Give it a few days before you’re back to normal.”
Emily came over and sat down on the bed next to me. I glanced ahead at the open door to the bathroom.
“I’m going to take a shower,” I said. “Why don’t you relax here for a little while. Lie down and rest, at least until I’m done in there. Give your ankle a little time to recover.”
She nodded, as if seeing the sense in my words.
“Alright. Only because you asked.” She followed up her words with a wink, then scooted back onto the bed and laid down.
I rose, eager to step into the shower. I was still tense from the fight, and a little high-pressure soak sounded like just the thing to work through it. As I stepped into the bathroom, I cast one last glance over my shoulder.
Emily was on the bed curled up, laying on her side in a way that drew my attention to the sensual curve of her hip. We’d only just had sex, but a single orgasm hadn’t come close to satisfying my desire for her. My cock twitched to life, stiffening by the moment until I forced my eyes away from her.
I closed the door slowly. My bathroom was huge, perhaps excessively so. A clawfoot tub was at one end, a jacuzzi in the corner on the other side of that. A massive mirror with two sinks was situated on the opposite side of the door.
The real piece de resistance of the room was the enormous shower sauna that took up a third of the space. It was gigantic, big enough for a dozen people, at least, that’s what the contractor had told me.
I stepped into the shower, the floor and walls dark wood, a bench going all around. The electronic panel lit up as the sensors detected me, numbers appearing as I waved my hand in front of the control panel. After a bit of tooling with the settings, I had a triple-stream shower going, hot water hitting me from just about every angle.
It was heaven. Not quite as nice as being in bed with Emily, but the shower did wonders to help me work through tension that had taken hold since the attack.
The attack… A fresh wave of anger ran through me as I remembered it. I’d done the right thing by letting those pricks go. All the same, I couldn’t help but imagine what could havehappened had things gone differently back there. It’d be a simple matter of grabbing one of their guns and popping them off one by one. I’d leave Marta alive so that she could inform her asshole boss of what had gone down.
There was a hell of a lot to do. I’d need to meet with Roberto and discuss the assault and come up with a plan to defend against the next one. On top of that, I’d need to add more guards, make sure they were armed with top-of-the-line weapons, no room for mistakes.
Through the sound of the rushing water from the shower, I heard the bathroom door open. I turned where I stood, my blood running hot at the idea of someone getting the drop on me. But beyond the fogged glass of the shower, I made out a figure I’d be able to spot anywhere.
Emily approached the shower with slow, sensual steps, and as she drew closer, I could see that she hadn’t bothered to put her bikini back on. She approached the glass and knocked softly.
“Yes?”
