Kiss Me in the Dark Anthology - Monica James Page 0,115
bloated throat.
“I am paying one million pounds for this girl for my own reasons. One of which is to ensure you and yours do not sniff around and ask impertinent questions. Now, if we have a deal, a long, hot shower is in my future if I am going to scrub your Italian scum off my hands. If we do not…” I paused and carefully cut away a small patch of his dark stubble. A bead of blood welled, then spread through the hairs. “I might have to end you right here for daring to trifle with me. I am a very busy and important man, segone.”
The Italian did not like being called a wanker in his own language, but he roughly swallowed his anger as he wheezed, “We have a deal.”
I dropped him like a sack of bricks, already turning away as he fell to the ground with choked curse.
“Oh and Abruzzi?” I called over my shoulder as Riddick pulled up to the entrance of the alleyway in a black Ferrari he’d obviously rented just to irritate me. “One last condition of the sale. Do not tell Salvatore this is how you have repaid Seamus Moore’s gambling debts until she is delivered into my care.”
He nodded, having learned his lesson about questioning my motives.
After one last look at Cosima Lombardi, I rounded the hood of the car to take the keys from Riddick. If anyone was going to drive this Italian monstrosity, it was me.
I froze with my hand on the door handle, eyes locked on the sight of her.
Obviously, her brother had tugged her into the sea spray because her white linen dress was now plastered to the front of her body, revealing the very obvious fact she wasn’t wearing a bra. Instantly, my mouth watered at the sight of those full breasts, too ample, but obviously natural on her slim form, and the tweaked peaks of her dark nipples beneath the fabric.
She was laughing again, red mouth open, eyes closed with the force of her mirth as she clutched her belly and leaned a hand on Sebastian.
Irrational jealousy burned through me like a flare. How dare he make her laugh, make her wet, make her smile?
She was mine.
That burn branded those words somewhere deep in my body, under layers of tissues and muscles, buried beneath blood and bones.
She was mine.
Not fully, not yet, but even standing across the crowded ocean board walk, even distracted by her brother’s twin smiling face, Cosima Lombardi was lassoed by my plans, by my greed and need for revenge.
That was all it was, I reminded myself as I felt my cock thicken in my slacks, as my blood seemed to heat and carbonate with a previously unknown intensity of desire.
Revenge.
Not lust for the Italian beauty, not kindness for her pitiable circumstances, not even an ounce of empathy stirred by that full bodied, husky laugh.
No. Just stone-cold revenge exacted through her pretty golden flesh.
A smile cut across my face as I sank into the cool leather seats. Revving the engine of the ostentatious car, I peeled out into the street just so that I could watch that thick black hair swing in the rear-view mirror as she twisted to watch the car until it was out of sight.
