“Yes, really. My horse is called Enyo, and she is a beauty just like Buttercup.”

Eva wraps her arms around my waist and hugs me and I feel warmth blossoming in my chest. When she pulls away, we share a silent moment with Buttercup before we turn to leave.

I’m surprised to see that it’s past lunchtime now. The hours have passed quickly and I realize that I’m hungry. My stomach growls and we both laugh.

“Hungry?” I ask her and she nods.

We head back into the house and aim for the kitchen in search of food. However, as we pass through the main foyer, I hear raised voices coming from a room to the left. Eva looks up at me.

“That’s daddies office,” she declares. “My brothers now though…” her words trail off and I see the light go out of her eyes.

The voices have grown even louder, the odd word filtering out to us.

“…no!...For fucks sake, are you insane?...

“…don’t say a damn thing!”

We both jump when the door is thrown open and Sisco storms out. He looks furious. His eyes ablaze with rage, his hair wild as he runs his hands through it, but his entire persona changes once he sees Eva and me and his mouth splits into a wild grin.

He comes to us quickly. “There’s my two favorite girls.” He wraps an arm round both of our waists and pulls us close. He buries his face in my neck and takes a deep breath, like he’s sucking me into his lungs. “Hello, beautiful,” he says, his voice already thick with lust.

Eva giggles and kicks out from under his grip. “Can’t catch me!” she squeals excitedly and takes off running down the hallway.

Sisco lets her go, his lips now kissing along my throat. His other arm has come around me, tugging me tighter to him.

“You smell good enough to eat, Natalia,” he moans against me, and I feel him hardening against my thigh as he pushes me backwards until my back hits the wall. Something wild and untamed unfurls in my stomach, heat building in my core. He kisses along my throat, his hands cupping the sides of my face as his lips find their way there.

Sisco’s eyes are like wild pools of raging water. Liquid danger that screams insanity whilst begging to be loved and I find myself completely at his mercy as he presses his hips into mine. His hard length grows harder still, and as his mouth finds mine, his tongue parting my waiting lips. He grinds himself against me and I sigh involuntarily.

My hands move to his hair, gripping it tightly as tingles electrify my body. From head to toe I am alive and silently begging for something I can’t put a name too.

Our kisses have become wild and frantic, and Sisco reaches for the hem of my dress, reading to lift it and no doubt fuck me here on the stairs where anyone could see us when another voice sounds out behind him.

“Brother, I believe Eva is waiting for you to find her.” It’s Dominic. His stern voice splits the igniting passion between Sisco and I and Sisco pulls out of the kiss, his hands releasing my dress from their dexterous fingers.

Sisco presses his forehead against mine. “Another time, beautiful,” he says breathlessly, and then he is gone. “I’m on my way!” he calls gleefully, almost childlike.

My cheeks are flaming red with desire and embarrassment as Dominic watches me with his attentive gaze. I reach up and straighten my hair and then my dress, before clearing my throat. I can’t look him in the eye I realize, no matter how hard I try. And I wonder why that is.

He’s seen me like this before…worse than this.

So why do I feel shame from his stern stare right now?

“Everything okay, little mouse?” he asks and I nod automatically, my voice suddenly lost.

Dominic takes a step towards me and I hold my breath. His suit jacket is undone, the top two buttons of his shirt undone. This is practically casual for him, and the thought makes me suddenly smirk.

His eyes widen at my smirk and the whole situation becomes suddenly comical and I laugh. The sound begins quietly at first until I’m laughing loudly. I clamp a hand over my mouth to hide my nervous laughter and try to get control of myself.

“Sorry,” I mumble, not sure why I’m even laughing.

A smile tugs at the corner of his mouth and he looks like he’s about to come to me when Joey steps out of the office.

“What the fuck are you doing out here, brother? We’re in the middle of a meeting!” his eyes move from Dominic to me and then back again. “Never mind, we can finish up another time.”

He turns to go back inside but Dominic pulls his gaze from mine and turns to his brother. “No, lets finish this.”

“And Sisco?” Joey asks.
