One might think she would be hurt or shocked, but I have a feeling she knew exactly what would happen if she told me where to find him.Especially when the man easily surrendered her to Cillian to do with her as he fucking pleases.
It’s another thing I will handle as soon as I can get my hands on Cillian.First, though?I’m going to take care of the man who got the ball rolling.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Four days later
– QUINN –
Standing in front of my bedroom window is something I’ve done each morning for the past few days.I’ve been staying here ever since Cillian’s men drugged me and Fiero saved me.Though, saving might not be the right word.
I’m not exactly a captive, but I also don’t really have a say in doing the things I’d normally do.A sigh rips from me.I miss Bri the most.We’ve been roommates for a long time which kinda makes it not normal to be alone in the house.
Maybe that’s it.I feel lonely.The only times I’ve left this room is to join Fiero for dinner, something he’s persistent about.Another deep sigh flows from me.The pile of problems is stacked high.The most life-changing one is me being pregnant.I needed to see the proof for myself, and it took peeing on a stick twice for me to finally accept being pregnant is my new reality.
The few days I had to process was at least enough for me to rearrange my future plans.I have one year left of college and hopefully I can finish with Fiero’s help.Fiero.Ugh.How can I have a kid with this man?We have nothing in common, so how is a relationship going to work between us?
Other than being parents...do I even want a relationship with him?Does he?I sure as hell don’t have warm and fuzzy feelings when I think of him.Becoming hot and bothered when I think of the sex we had that one time?Yes.Most definitely.Though, it was the whole fantasy deal angle with others present, and it’s not something I want to repeat.
Especially not when I’m pregnant or become a mother.No.Everything has changed.I need to focus on the future, one where a solid job has to be the main priority to take care of my child.Hopefully I can finish the app I was working on so I can sell it.It’ll give me enough money to look for a job.
The app still needs work, and I do have plenty of time being confined to this room.Another sigh follows, and this one has everything to do with the man stalking out of the stables.Okay, maybe me standing in front of this window involves an added reason; to watch Fiero.
The man rides his horses early in the morning and sometimes late afternoon.I’ve only seen him wearing a suit, but those aren’t fit for riding horses.I swallow at the dryness in my throat and have to duck behind the curtain when he glances up.
Shit.I can’t be caught ogling him.His ego is big enough as it is.I close my eyes and still see the image of Fiero in his tight black riding pants, leather boots, and black jacket.Such a massive difference from the crisp suit.Those slacks hide thick muscled thighs that don’t leave much to the imagination.
A jolt of lust runs through my body and I can feel my panties getting wet by the mere thought of Fiero, knowing how good he felt inside me.Dammit, definitely not what I need right now.On the other hand, all I do is ogle the man.It’s not like I act on my desire.The one and only time I had him was due to a contract.Nothing personal or intimate about it.The man didn’t even get naked.
Frustration replaces the lust.Great.I feel as if the walls are coming at me.It’s my choice to stay in my room while I’m allowed to roam the property.I haven’t heard a peep about my father or Cillian, so for now it’s safer to stay where Fiero and his men can protect me.
I come to an abrupt stop in the middle of the hallway when I come face-to-face with Fiero.Shit.Why didn’t I wait until he was in his room?
My mind is a scrambled mess, which is abundantly clear when I blurt, “Where are your riding boots?”
He raises one of his eyebrows, letting me know he’s aware of my scrambled mind.
