“No.” I didn’t tell him that we were busy talking about everything except for this world, or that if we weren’t talking, we were fucking. Not a bomb that I wanted to drop on him right then.
“Do you think she would tell you?” Romeo asked thoughtfully. “You guys had to sort out some of your issues while you were there. I mean, you didn’t kill each other.”
I laughed. “We’re fine. We’ve always been fine.”
Romeo looked skeptical, but nodded. “I texted both Costa and Leone to get their asses here. Leone responded he was on his way, but I haven’t heard anything from Costa yet.”
“I thought they were together?” I questioned quietly.
“If they were, Leone didn’t mention it.”
I nodded. If they weren’t together, why did Gino say that the boss sent them out together? Something wasn’t adding up.
“Gino said the boss sent them on a job. Implying they were together doing a job. Why would they be separate now?” I whispered and looked around to make sure nobody was there. They weren’t. Luca was still in his office. He basically lived there, and Gino was inside it with him and the mystery man we had yet to see.
Romeo’s face flamed with fury. “You said that the Russians knew shit they shouldn’t have?”
I nodded. “Yeah. Digger knew about your dad’s business dealings on the other side of the line, and he knew that he was aiming to link our family to the cartel through marriage. They seemed to know as much as you and I do. There were only a handful of people who knew about the plans for the cartel and the marriage.”
“I want to go over Leone, Rossi, and Costa with another fine-tooth comb. I want to see financials. Someone is talking somewhere, and I want to know who.”
“You think it’s one of our three guys?” I didn’t think it was possible. We hand-selected them, and we had already gone through their lives in detail. Rossi took care of his brothers; his grandmother was in a home, but apparently just passed away. As hell-bent as he was about protecting his brothers, I couldn’t imagine him siding with the cartel. Costa had his mom to consider, and so did Leone. Any one of them siding with the cartel was unfathomable.
“No, but they are the ones who protect the girls when we can’t, so I want to make sure. Deep dive into them, Enzo. I want to know when they had their last blow job and by whom.”
I nodded. “I’m going to take this up to Bianca before I head out, but I’ll head to the club office and start digging.”
“I’ll be there after the guys get here. From now on, two guys need to be on duty at the house if you or I aren’t here. If the girls need to go out, you or I need to be with them.”
“There are three of them, Rome, and only two of us.”
He gritted his teeth. “I’ll call that security agency again for outside support. I want them covered until I know what the fuck is going on and what my father is up to.”
I gave Romeo a curt nod, then bent to pick up the bag Bianca had left earlier. Her room had been the same one since shewas little, so I didn’t hesitate to walk down the hall toward it. I knocked softly, trying not to draw the attention of Giana or Nic.
“Come in,” her voice called out from the other side of the solid oak door. I turned the knob and pushed it open. The sight that met me was pure heaven. Bianca was standing in the middle of her room wearing her practice outfit that consisted of tight stretchy material that left nothing to the imagination, and a sports bra that had a zip-up front. I’d seen her in this getup a few times, and it never ceased to make my mouth water.
“Fuck, Princess,” I muttered, stepping into the room and dropping the bag on the floor by the dresser. My dick was hard as a fucking rock, and I had to go back downstairs without anyone noticing the Loch Ness monster in my pants.
Bianca didn’t hesitate to move into my arms. My hands threaded into her hair, and I held her head as I slammed my mouth down onto hers. It was a short, hot kiss, but filled with so much damn need it made my head spin. Christ. I needed to end this because going another night without her in my bed was unfathomable. I’d had her now, and there was no going back for me. Ever.
“I have to go,” I groaned, breaking the kiss. “I don’t want to, but I have work to do, and your brother is here waiting for me to come back downstairs.” I kissed her again, even as I was telling her I had to go.
Bianca arched her body into me, and I slid my free hand to her firm, tight ass, lifting her and holding her against me as I ground my cock into the cleft between her thighs.
She whimpered and clung to me even as I started to pull back from her. “I’m sorry, Baby,” I said, hating that it was necessary. I never should have come up here, but I wanted to hold her one last time, for just a few minutes. “Your brother will get suspicious and so will others if they find me in your room.”
She sighed and allowed me to step back. Her lips were swollen. Her nipples were hard and beaded against the fabric of the bra, and she was taking quick breaths as if she’d just run a mile instead of spending a moment in my arms, lost in a kiss.
I reached forward and adjusted my dick so it wasn’t so obviously hard, and she watched me longingly. My mind flitted back to the blow job she had given me in the shower. It was clear it was the first time she’d ever sucked a dick, but that wasn’t something I would complain about. I relished it. If she’d known what she was doing, I would have killed the motherfucker who taught her how to do it.
“I’m going to call you tonight when I get home,” I promised quietly and reached up to run my thumb across her full lower lip.
“Okay, but I wish I could go with you.”
“I know, Princess. I wish you could, too, but not yet.” I pulled her in for one last hard, quick hug and a short kiss before pulling away from her. It took every ounce of self-control that I had to walk out that door and away from her.
