I almost hated how familiar I was with his home and how he never blinked at the way I wandered through it freely. It had been that way from the start. With his reputation, I just assumed he wouldn’t want a woman lurking around his place. But he was always so unbothered. And somehow, the more comfortable I got, the more content he seemed.
I cleared my throat. “Well, I’m going to call it a night. Thanks again for everything.”
“You got it. Rest well. I’m here if you need anything.”
“I know.”
Smiling, I went inside.
If I could fuck that man without falling harder than I already have, I would.

Kill him or let him breathe.
I slid one hand behind my head and rested the other on my chest, my eyes glued to the ceiling fan.
Decisions. Decisions.
But it wasn’t really that tough. I’d had a harder time choosing what flavor syrup I wanted on my pancakes. Enzo’s fate was sealed the moment he tried to come at my brother wrong and caused a shootout that fucked up my club. The only reason he was still alive was because of what went down with Jassi, which sent Eli to the top of my hit list instead.
But now, it washisturn.
I turned toward the wall, my thoughts shifting away from blood and back to Skye.
I couldn’t help but wonder what she was doing.
Had she managed to fall asleep yet?
My cell phone vibrated on the nightstand.
Given how late it was, and how many calls I’d already ignored, I knew exactly who it was.
“What’s up, Melina?” I said. “You good?”
“Yeah, but I’ve been trying to reach you. Did you not see my calls?”
“I did. Sorry about that. I was busy.”
“Busy doing what?”
I frowned, confused as to why she thought questioning me was an option.
“I mean, I was just worried,” she corrected. “It’s not like you to ignore my calls.”
Still stretched out on the bed, I slid my hand down my face, pleased that her tone had changed. “No worries. I’m good. I just had some things to handle.”
“Would any of those things involve Sanya?”
“And if it did?” I said, irritated that yet again we had landed in territory that wasn’t her fucking business.
Just like Melina, Sanya was an employee at my club, and yes, I was fucking her too. Was it in my best interest to be sticking my dick into two women who held down my business? Probably not. But one was for pleasure, and the other was for something else.
“I don’t know why you mess around with her. There’s no way she fucks you the way I do.”
You’re right, she fucks better.
