“Dante,” I called when he put his hand on the knob. He glanced at me over his shoulder. “Call first next time,” I warned him.
He glared at me over his shoulder. “This isn’t finished, Nico. I know she’s not staying here voluntarily and I’m not letting this go.” He slammed out the door.
Luca’s lips twisted ruefully. “That’s fucked up, Boss.” He continued when I met his gaze. “He finally found a woman he liked and you poached her.” He chuckled.
I gave a humorless laugh. “Dante likes a lot of women. He’ll find another one in a week, tops. Besides, you can’t poach what’s already yours.”
“Not sure your girl agrees with you on that,” Luca said as he dropped down into the chair across from my desk.
“She’ll realize it soon enough.” Something in her called out to me. After I’d learned what she’d been up to in her spare time, I realized she was as damaged as I was. We were fucking meant for each other, our bond was forged in blood, nurtured by the hatred and rage we felt, and eternally sealed by vengeance.
The sun was coming up slowly and I needed to get some sleep. I rose and walked out of the room.
Luca’s chuckle followed me out. “Give her hell, Boss.”
I didn’t bother to respond. Striding down the hall, I stopped in front of my door. For her sake, I hoped Havoc would be asleep. Between the lack of sleep, her escape, and my brother’s visit, I was dangerously low on patience.
I shoved open the door and watched as her gorgeous blue eyes opened immediately. I smirked when I saw that Luca had handcuffed her to my bed. That was fitting and damned if I didn’t plan on putting her in that position again. It’d have to wait until I wasn’t a zombie, though.
Even the quick rise and fall of her tits wasn’t enough to distract me. Her gaze followed me as I crossed the room and entered my bathroom. Pulling off all my clothes, I started the shower. It was a quick rinse, but I couldn’t go to sleep without it.
Too many times as a kid I’d gone to bed dirty and stinking. It’d turned into an OCD habit for me to shower, a way for me to wash away my past as surely as I rinsed off the dirt.
I tugged on a pair of black sweats and rubbed the towel over my hair as I walked back into the room. My lips twitched when Havoc’s eyes widened at my bare chest.
Her eyes snapped up to mine and her mouth thinned. “Why am I here?”
I tossed the wet towel onto a chair and walked up to the empty side of my bed. “You’re mine.”
Her mouth dropped open and my eyes flicked down to those plump lips. Maybe therewastime for more than sleeping.
“What the hell does that even mean?” she groaned. “I’m a person, not a dog. You don’t own me.”
My eyes met hers and she saw the challenge buried there. She sighed. “Why would you want me? You don’t even know me.”
“I know more than you think.”
“Jesus, cryptic much? Why, Nico?”
I smirked at her and got into bed, turning my back to her.
“Um…”
I shifted and looked over my shoulder at her and she jingled the handcuffs at me.
“They look good on you,” I grunted and rolled over again. The vertical bar Luca had attached her to would allow her to slide down enough that she could lay flat. She’d have to sleep with her arms extended up over her head, but it was better than her trying to gut me in my sleep. I was too tired to fuck around with her trying to escape or kill me, so she’d just have to be uncomfortable for a few hours.
I had a meeting at nine, so I wasn’t going to get much sleep to begin with. My dick hardened when she scooted down and laid flat beside me. I laid there listening as she fidgeted, trying to get comfortable. She kept letting out little huffs and sighs, as if I didn’t know she was pissed and didn’t want to be here.
My lips twisted into a grin as I thought about all the things I planned to do to her—starting tomorrow—or today since a new day had begun.

My eyes openedwhen Havoc shifted against me. We’d both gravitated toward the middle of the bed. Her body was as close to me as the cuffs would allow. She shivered and tried to scoot closer for warmth.
I rolled onto my side from my back and wrapped my arm around her, pulling her back against me. She murmured something in her sleep and wiggled against me.
Breathing in deep through my nose, I let my eyes close as she rubbed her ass against my now straining cock. I lifted my head enough that I could read the clock on the bedside table.Fucking hell.I wanted nothing more than to stay here and wake her up with my mouth on her pussy, but I didn’t have time. I couldn’t blow this meeting off, as much as I wanted to.
