“I’m going to go clean up. I’m suddenly tripping over testosterone,” I mumble, trying to sound like I’m annoyed, when in reality I’m secretly pleased.
“I’ll be here, hot stuff. Feel free to think of me while you’re touching yourself,” he jokes. When I get out of the bed and see his face, I’m starting to think he’s not joking at all. He must read my mind because his smirk moves into a full-fledged grin. “What? I’m going to be thinking of you and that sweet pussy of yours when I’m jacking off in the shower.”
“Victor!”
“It’s just the truth, sweetheart. When I paint the shower wall with my cum, I’m going to imagine it’s your ass.”
My mouth drops open and for a second, I think my heart stops. I can’t even begin to figure out how to respond. So, I do the only thing I can think of. I run to the bathroom. I can hearVictor laugh, but I can’t help it. I’m in over my head and it’s definitely time to retreat.

“Are you ready to roll?”
“Not really,” I laugh as I look at Antonio. “But I’ll be at the airstrip bright and early in the morning. After this, though, I’m going to need a couple weeks off to spend with my woman before I start training and going over everything with Niko.”
Antonio raises an eyebrow, and I shrug. “Is there a reason?”
“I’m going to stay at EZ’s club for a few days to do some research and then I want some time with my woman.”
“What kind of research?” Antonio asks.
“I’m going to hunt down whoever hurt my woman and then I’m going to end him,” I declare calmly. Truthfully, I’m anything but calm. I want whoever the bastard is in my clutches. I want him begging for his life, and then I want him gutted. I want his blood running under my feet like a fucking river and even then, I doubt it will be enough to curb my anger. Still, he’ll never be standing under the same moon as my woman and he will never have the chance to breathe the same air she is, so I’m okay with that.
Antonio lets out a whistle. “Does Angelina know you plan on opening up this particular can of worms?”
“Hell, no. This is something that I never want her to think of again. He’s robbed her of way too much and I aim to see he doesn’t get anything else from her,” I growl.
We’re sitting in Antonio’s office. He’s supposed to be going over what’s going on with Marco, but the truth is, there’s not much to say. I’ll get there, access the situation, and provide backup for Marco as needed. I’m taking three men with me, and I’ll be in charge of those men. It’s not much different from how things have been done in the past and I’m comfortable with it. I didn’t really mean to discuss my plans about finding my Kitten’s attacker, but I don’t mind it either. Antonio and I are cut from similar cloths. He’ll understand my need to find this bastard and ultimately, I know he’ll help me anyway he can.
“She might not see it the same way as you. Girls can be funny like that. I know Emilia and my woman have both adapted and fit well into the family, but Victor, Angelina has been much more sheltered. She didn’t have a strong man in her life. She may not understand.”
“She will,” I insist. “Gia hasn’t had an easy life. The attack stole something from her, and she feels its loss with every breath she takes. I need to do what I can to help repair at least a little of the damage.”
Antonio nods. He understands. He also knows that if it was Melina, he’d still be going to war to erase everything from that period of her life if it was possible.
“Max tried to check into it, before his sister made him stop.”
“Gia’s mother made Max stop looking into the attack?” I question, even though I’m just repeating him. “What the fuck for? Did she not want to know who attacked and almost killed her own daughter for Christ’s sake?”
“Racine said Angelina heard them talking and went into a panic attack and screamed that she didn’t want anyone to know.She said Angelina threatened to kill herself if anyone so much as spoke about it again.”
“Fuck,” I hiss, feeling swamped by physical pain at the thought of Gia being so low that she thought the only out she had was death.
“Yeah. Max continued looking into it. He couldn’t find out enough to get anywhere.”
“Shit. I can’t let this go, Antonio. I need Gia to be able to breathe free air and not look over her shoulder.”
“Niko has Max’s files. I’ll have him send you the ones he has on Angelina when you’re out there. Who knows, maybe you will see something that Max missed.”
“Thanks, man. I truly appreciate that.”
“Anytime, but I do have one more question.”
“What’s that?”
“Who is Peter Scott and why do you have EZ’s man Ghost searching for him? Is he a lead you have on Angelina’s attack?”
