Do what to him? Tell him the truth? I wanted to ask him, but I couldn’t. “This isn’t my fault,” I said. “You can’t think this is my fault.”
“It’s not,” he replied. “But I liked it better when I didn’t know.”
“I’m not asking for your forgiveness.”
“Maybe you should,” he said. “Leave me alone, Sofia. Tell your men to stand down. I can take care of myself.”
“Sam, don’t--”
But before I could say anything else, he slammed the door of Teo’s bedroom behind himself, and he was gone.
Chapter Five: Sofia
The door slammed as Sam left, echoing through Teo’s opulent living room. I had tears in my eyes as I rose from the bed. None of the men had stopped him and he hadn’t even looked back.
I stood rooted to the spot, the aftershocks of Sam’s anger quivering in my bones as Teo and the rest of the gang slowly made their way into his bedroom. “Fuck,” I said, rubbing the bridge of my nose, trying to ignoring how much my head pounded.
Sam was out there now, alone and hunted, because of secrets our father had buried in the murky depths of his life as The Everglades Viper.
“Hey.” Teo’s voice was a low rumble, his hand on my arm warm and steadying. “Sunshine, look at me.”
I turned, my gaze meeting his—honeygold covered by large pupils that covered them almost entirely. I could have been out looking for my brother, yet here I was, ensnared by the gravity of Teo’s presence.
“Sam’s going to be okay,” Teo said. It sounded like the truth when he said it, even though I knew it was a lie.
“How can you be so sure?” I whispered, my voice almost breaking.
“Because we’re going to make damn sure of it,” he said, his teeth raking down the length of my neck and sending a shiver down my spine. “
“Teo, I...”
In an instant, he turned me around and pulled me into his arms, his lips finding mine in a kiss that spoke of power, of possession, of promises too dangerous to keep. I melted against him, lost in the heady sensation, the taste of him—dark espresso and danger—filling my senses.
“Let me take your mind off things for a while,” he whispered against my lips. “Do you want me to?”
My body responded instinctively, my ache for distraction overpowering the nagging worry for Sam. I didn’t want to think about his absence, the danger that lurked outside those doors. I wanted to lose myself in Teo, in the intensity of his touch, and forget, even if just for a moment. And the rest of the Blades watched me, none of them saying a thing, all of them waiting for Teo to keep going.
These men were going to be the end of me.
My heart raced at his words, my mind torn between the worry for Sam and the desperate need to lose myself in Teo. Teo’s fingers traced a path down my spine, sending electric shocks of pleasure through my body. His touch ignited a fire within me that I couldn’t deny.
“Yes,” I managed to whisper. “Take my mind off things. Just for tonight.”
Teo grabbed the bottom of my top and pulled it over my head, revealing my bare chest.
“God, you’re hot,” he said softly. “Isn’t she hot, boys?”
He didn’t let them say anything. He kissed me again, his hand slowly moving down my stomach, his long fingers touching the waistband of my pants.
I moaned into his mouth, my body craving more of his touch. Teo wasted no time in unbuttoning my pants, his skilled fingers slipping inside and teasingly brushing against the lace of my underwear. My mind was clouded with desire and the thought of an audience made my heart race even faster as Teo pulled down my pants in one swift motion, leaving me almost completely exposed in front of him.
“I can smell how wet you are,” he said.
“Teo, please,” I pleaded, feeling a flush of embarrassment heat up my cheeks. The realization that the rest of the Blades were watching only intensified the mixture of arousal andself-consciousness coursing through me. “Can we...take this somewhere more private?”
Teo’s lips curved into a wicked grin, his fingers still teasingly playing at the edge of my panties. “Are you sure? It seems like they’re enjoying the show,” he said, then slipped a curved finger into my pussy. “Fuck, you’re soaked. You’re clearly enjoying it too.”
I gasped at the intrusion, my body arching against his touch. He was so good at this, I instantly felt like I was on the edge of an orgasm. The room was filled with the sounds of my pleasure and the low murmurs of approval from the men watching. My cheeks burned with shame and excitement, torn between wanting to run away and wanting to surrender completely to this man.
