"I’m never giving up carbs," I growl, my tummy rumbling for a big bowl of pasta.

God, I’d love to eat spaghetti off Dino’s body.

ChapterFifteen

DINO

Romeo signs on the dotted line, then rips the check free from his checkbook. "Aaaaaaand, for you."

I take the check in my hands, tears welling in my eyes.

Five million big ones.

Fuck. Me.

I picture my poor dad, getting older every year with this giant albatross of debt haunting him like the sailor in Coleridge’s opium-inspired poem.

Now, he won’t need to live in fear.

Now, he can retire happily without worrying about those asshole loan sharks coming after him.

I dry my wet cheeks with the check. "You can’t understand how much this—"

"Ah, crap, boy." Romeo takes the check from me, then frowns. "You smeared my signature with your tears. Okay, I’ll write you a new one, but you’d better not use it as a napkin. God, no wonder your whole family’s in debt. Gotta learn to respect the value of a dollar, boy. Let alone five million. A dollar makes me holler, honey boo boo. I might be in my sixties, but I’ve never lost my respect for money."

I ram the new check Romeo writes into my pocket. "There. It’s safe from the flood."

Romeo smirks. "Eh, you tryna multiply it in your pocket like Noah’s animals? Is the pocket the arc—you wanna produce a lil’ ten-million-dollar baby? Two by two n’ shit—that’s the way it works in the animal kingdom, boy. Daddy will write you another lil’ check so you get a nice money baby of your own."

Romeo writes this new check, then slides it to me.

Five million dollars.

Again.

More tears well in my eyes. "You don't need to do this."

"Oh, you can’t keep this money. You only have this check to see if this one and the one in your pocket make a baby—hopefully, quadruplets. You get to keep the baby money."

I roll my eyes.

Cheese. Central.

"I think I’m going to tell my dad to deal with his own problems," I drawl, pivoting away from Romeo and heading toward his balcony. "I’ll use this money to start a new life in Bali."

"Don't you dare."

In a flash, a thunderous roar sounds in the room and Romeo wraps his arms around my waist.

He smashes his mighty hips against my ass, sending my face against the window.

Bam.

"Gonna ram a hook into this man cooter," Romeo growls into my neck, licking my skin, sending shivers up my spine. "A barbed hook that I’ll tug to bring you back to me. No matter where you go in the world, my line will be coming out of your ass, wrapping right into the spool in my hands."

I moan, rubbing my cheeks on his hard dick. "I-I feel your fishing rod!"

"My maker did right giving me a rod like this, didn’t he, boy? A big rod, perfect for reeling you in. Can’t deny it—my cock is an ass magnet. The funny thing is that the only ass I want is yours."
