“And?” I shrug my shirt off my shoulders. Her eyes go to my chest and then fall to my hands as I undo my belt.
“And we’ve had sex.”
Cute.“Having.”
“Huh?” She licks her lips while I lower my zipper.
“We’re having sex,” I state and kick off my shoes.
“I’m a queen.”
“We’ve established that.” I shove my pants down my legs along with my boxers. My cock isn’t hard, but it won’t take much. Just looking at the way she stares at it is doing the job. She seems to be in a daze. I bet her pussy is already wet.
“And we have sex.”
I reach out, grab her hand, and pull her body into mine. “Why are you still dressed?” I run my hands up and over her ass, gripping her jeans.
“I’m trying …”
“Shh.” I place my hand over her mouth. “Quit thinking about it. It doesn’t matter.”
“But it does.” She pulls away from me. “Are you breaking some rule by sleeping with me?”
“I’m the boss. I can do whatever I want.” All the Kings break the rules at some point. That’s how you succeed.
She snorts. “Spoken like a true gentleman.”
I arch a brow. “Is that what you want? A gentleman? Because I promise you, what I’m about to do to you is not something a gentleman would do.”
“I’m serious, Titan,” she growls.
“I’m standing before you naked, and you want to argue with me?” I ask, starting to get irritated. I don’t have a lot of time.
“I want to know how many queens you’ve actually fucked because you’re theirbossand can do whatever you want.” She crosses her arms over her chest.
I open my mouth to say none, but she continues. “And how many have you and Bones shared?”
I don’t know why her words piss me off, but they do. Maybe because I expected her to see me differently. Maybe I expected her to understand the connection between the three of us. Either way, stepping into her, I say the first thing that comes to my mind. “You didn’t think you were special, did you?”
And just like that, I fucked everything up.
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
EMILEE
AS I TOSSand turn in bed, my mind is in a hundred different places right now. Plus, my blood is still boiling from Titan and what he said to me earlier today.
It hurt.
I don’t know why I thought I was special. I guess because of our conversation we had last week in The Palace. He had said that he had feelings for me once, but that doesn’t mean he has them now. Too much time has passed.
The Kings have always had girls falling at their feet. But even though me and Bones weren’t exclusive, I knew for a fact that he only slept with me. He didn’t have time for anyone else. Believe me, he kept me busy. But we never had to say it. And as much as we used each other, he never made me feel that way.
Titan was always fucking random women in high school and college, and apparently, he hasn’t changed a fucking bit. The fact that I did him and Bones at the same time should have been my first hint.
I didn’t expect him to be faithful, but I did expect honesty. He made me feel worse than any client could, but maybe that’s my fault due to the expectations I had. I thought things were going to be different. I allowed myself to fall for him. And why? Because I needed someone to save me? Fuck him. I never asked him for a dime. He hasn’t bought me expensive things or handed me money. He gave me a job. That I auditioned for. On my knees. That wasn’t even a job requirement.
Getting out of bed, I pick up the robe that hangs over the back of my leather chair in the sitting area. I tie off the sash and exit my room. Tiptoeing down the stairs, I stop on the second floor and take a peek in my mom’s room. She’s sound asleep like usual. The chemo takes so much out of her.
