Not even his broody bodyguard can help keep me in line because I know the right tool to use against him.
My lips spread into a broad smile as I walk through the park with Jellybean at my feet, and Leo following along behind me.
Game on,mi marido.
Chapter Eighteen
Dominic
Percy's droning on behind me, most likely about something important I should be paying attention to, but instead, I'm standing in my office, a few streets away from my apartment building, glaring out the window as I stare down at the streets of London, scanning the small dots I can see moving around, as if I'm able to see who the people are from up here.
Leo last texted me almost two hours ago, telling me the elevator was coming down to the lobby.
I'd told him to keep her in the apartment unless she was going somewhere to get rid of the animal she'd brought with her, and since then, he hasn't replied.
I've messaged him multiple times and tried calling him, but he's not answering, and I'm growing antsy.
"Dom, are you even listening to me?" Percy shouts.
"No," I tell him, turning to look at him over my shoulder.
Jaylen laughs from where he's sitting in the corner of the room.
"I think he's a little distracted."
I grunt and shake my head, knowing he's trying to wind me up further for his own enjoyment.
"You know, if you really wanted to know where they are, you could ask Kaleb. I'm sure he'd have an idea," Jaylen says, slinging his arm around my shoulders as he joins me at the large, floor-to-ceiling window that sits behind my desk.
"Oh, now it makes sense," Percy mutters. "You're distracted by the feisty little rocket."
Whipping around quickly, I narrow my eyes at him, and his eyes widen as he holds up his hands in a placating gesture.
"Ooo, you made him angry," Jaylen jibes. "Best not to let on to the fact you find his wife attractive, Percy. It seems our man over here doesn't hate her as much as he claims to."
"Get out," I grunt, shaking my head and moving behind my desk, tired of the pair of them.
"But what about the shipment and all the paperwork?" Percy asks.
"Give it to him," I tell him, gesturing with my head in Jaylen's direction.
He grumbles as he stands from the leather chair on the opposite side of my desk and walks out of the room.
Instead of my cousin trailing behind him like I'd wanted, he walks over to my desk, sitting on the edge as he peers over at me, a gleeful smile on his face as I continue to stare at my computer screen, pretending not to see him.
"I wonder why Leo's not answering you…"
Grinding my teeth, I jab my finger on the mouse, opening documents I should be focusing on.
"Maybe he's run off with her?"
Ignoring Jaylen's teasing comments, I stab my fingers into the keys of my keyboard, typing absolute nonsense because the fury buildinginside of me has dark spots entering my vision. The thoughts my cousin is stirring inside of my head are distracting me from making sense of what I'm meant to be doing.
"Or maybe he took her back up to the apartment, just like you wanted him to, and maybe he's—"
"Shut up!" I snap, pushing out of my chair and banging my fist down on the wooden desk beneath me.
Angry tremors take over my body as my furious gaze clashes with his amused one. He slides off my desk before leaning over it to clap his hand down on my shoulder.
