My eyes narrow. “You’re doing no such thing.”
She makes a face. “You know you can’t make me do something I don’t want to, right?”
“I can damn well try. Maybe I’ll tie you to the bed. And then spend a couple of hours reminding your body why I’m the only one it belongs to. You’re mine,” I say fiercely, stepping between her legs and looking up at her. She swallows softly. “Now, care to tell me who this man is so I can plan his murder?”
She rolls her eyes. “You’re such a caveman. The man is Roman De Luca. As in the Don of the De Lucas. We’re friends, remember?”
“Sure,” I mutter, still unhappy with what she said.
“He’s happily married, Xander. It’s not a date. I was just trying to mess with you.”
“Consider me messed with.”
She sighs, placing a hand on my chest. “We try to go out to a shooting range once in a while to talk. Roman’s one of the only friends I have. He’s a good man too and I like hanging out with him.”
“I’m sure the both of you will be able to hang out fine with me present,” I state.
Her lips part. “You’re kidding?”
“No, princess. I’ll be joining you on this ‘date’. It actually works out well. I’ve been meaning to continue to learn to shoot. You and Roman can give me some pointers.”
She frowns. “No one invited you, Xander.”
“Sure, but I’m going regardless.”
“No, you’re not,” she shakes her head.
One good perk to having the Don wrapped around your finger, is that I get to do whatever the hell I want all in exchange for a few orgasms. By the time afternoon rolls around, we’re stepping out of the door to meet Roman De Luca. Nate’s nanny has arrived to keep watch on him while we’re gone.
I sneak a glance at Katerina on the ride to the shooting range. She looks content, happy and I’m so glad every day that I get to see her like that. That I contributed to it. Every single day, I try my best to ensure that I’m able to fulfil at least one of her heart desires.
When we arrive at the rink, I’m surprised to find a couple of men already situated on the outside of it. Most of the time when Katerina has security following her or Nate, they’re inconspicuous, she gives them strict orders to blend in. I’m sure the men standing outside are Roman De Luca’s protection.
I arch an eyebrow as we pass them, heading inside the building.
“It’s a meeting between two Dons and while it’s completely friendly, there’s always an underlying threat that shouldn’t be ignored,” Katerina explains.
“A threat from the outside, or a threat of a fight that could occur between the both of you?”
“Both.”
Roman De Luca’s expression grows intrigued as we approach. He’s a tall man at nearly six foot three, with eyes so blue they’re practically black. His intrigue is bordering on amusement by the time we’re standing in front of him.
“So you can bring your boyfriend along but when your brother in law asks to tag along, it’s a no?” Roman asks the woman beside me.
Katerina shrugs. “My brother in law doesn’t give me orgasms now does he?”
That makes me grin, meanwhile Roman lets out a chuckle.
“True,” he says before looking towards me. He stretches his hand for a shake. “I’m Roman De Luca.”
“Alexander Steele,” I reply shaking his hand. His grip is firm. “Nice to meet you.”
The both of them give off the same aura. I’m guessing from having a shared reality.
“You too. But take it from you, Anthony’s going to be really pissed when he finds out you’re here.”
“He’ll get over it,” I say shrugging.
