As I watch my only hope that this agreement won’t happen vanish from my sight, I realize that this man is going to drive me insane for months, and I have no choice but to let him.
CHAPTER15
LEVI
The news was worse than I’d thought. Way worse.
If I’m thinking logically, I understand how we can benefit from this. But we’ve gotten to where we are right now without anyone’s help. And the shitty thing about this is the fact that we have no say. And Justin’s right. We gave away our freedom when we signed the contract, but I didn’t think I would ever have to fake date someone.
That means I have to touch her, talk to her, and be in her presence …
I’m scared for myself. She’s a beautiful girl. I can’t deny that even though I can’t stand her. Why couldn’t she not look how she does? It would make this a lot easier.
The shittiest thing about this all is how both teams brushed our concerns off and acted like we had no say in what went on in our lives. This is my image that might be destroyed just because some people are money hungry. That’s fucking ridiculous.
I don’t want to gain more success because of the Drakos siblings. That might as well be soap in my mouth.
Justin also acted like a complete dick, and I hoped Amelia would speak up and defend herself. I almost did. But I caught myself. He really needs a reality check that he’s not his own boss. He works forher. I can’t stand men who feel more powerful than women because they have a dick hanging between their legs.
“Who’s that?” Amelia’s soft voice breaks the tense silence.
I glance over and find her gaze pinned on my little sister.
“That’s my sister,” I grumble, cracking my neck.
From the corner of my eye, I see her nod.
“She’s adorable. What happened to you?” Her fingers fiddle with a necklace. “Do you have anything to say? I can feel the heat coming off your body. Might as well be on fire,” she mumbles, picking at her nails nervously.
“What is there to say? You’re going to make my life a living hell for the next few months, and I have no choice but to put up with it. I’m trying not to think about it,” I grumble, gliding a hand through my hair in a frustrated manner.
“I’m going to make your life hell? Says the king of insults. You don’t even know my brothers. They’ll be furious with this,” she scoffs, turning her body to face me.
“I don’t want this just as much as you don’t.” I gesture to myself. “And, yeah, I’m trying to erase your brothers from my head.”
A tiny part of me feels sorry that she’s forced to deal with me. Just a small percentage though.
This is the very first time in my life that I’m completely speechless. I have no idea what to say, other than I’m furious at the world. Amelia and I don’t get along. And for a good reason. We’re each other’s competition. Every interaction, we have ended up in a fight, and when I look at her face, I only see her cocky brothers.
How am I going to convince people I’m in love with her?
“Well, there’s honestly nothing I can say right now that will measure up to how angry I am. But we should exchange phone numbers.” She extends her phone to me with her Contacts already open.
Raising my eyebrows, I muse, “I always knew you wanted my number. Jumping on the first opportunity, huh?” Putting in my number and my name, I hand it back to her and smile at her glare.
“You’re so full of it. Knowing you, my phone will suddenly come down with a virus, just from getting your number,” she says with a roll of her eyes.
I watch, curious, as she types frantically on her phone. She now grins.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, nothing.” She shrugs while flicking her silky hair over her shoulder.
Thoughts of fisting her hair as I bend her over my knee and spank that attitude out of her consume my head. Making my dick spark to life.
I’m blaming that reaction on the fact that I haven’t been able to find a release in weeks. Taking care of a little kid has really made my sex life nonexistent.
I edge closer to where she sits. “Show me.”
