Wrapped in Chains - Nicola Jane Page 0,3
like her. When I meet my woman, I’m gonna treat her so good, she won’t ever want to be away from me.”
“Chains, you’re way too fucked up to get an ol’ lady. No woman would put up with your ass,” he mutters.
Leia appears with Ziggy in her arms. She looks like a queen, and with a kid on her hip, she’s the most beautiful specimen of a woman I’ve ever seen. I shake my head. If Riggs catches me looking at his sister again, he’ll go off on a rant. There’re ten years between us, so it ain’t ever gonna happen—plus the fact that Riggs will gut me and leave me to bleed out if I lay a finger on her.
“While Lake is away, you’re gonna mind Leia. That okay, brother?” asks Riggs. I make a show of annoyance because that’s what they both expect from me, but I want nothing more than to stare at her all day every day. Lake’s one lucky son of a bitch.
“I have a thing tonight,” she says brightly. “You’ll hate it and that makes me want to go even more,” she adds.
“Perfect,” I huff. “A night babysitting the club princess. Just what I dreamed my Friday night would be.”
“I’m going to delight in torturing you.” She smirks and I throw my leg over my bike so she doesn’t see my erection at the thought of her torturing me. Fuck, what a dream. She climbs on behind me as Riggs puts Ziggy on his bike. “I need to go and get my nails done,” she says into my ear. Feeling her pressed against my back isn’t helping the erection problem. I close my eyes and think of one of the oldest club whores and that soon makes it disappear.
We get to the nail salon and I sit in a seat by the window. I keep my shades in place so I can watch Leia without her seeing me. I slouch like I’m sleeping and she settles into a chair nearby, chatting happily with the nail technician. Her short skirt shows off her tanned thighs. I feel the twitching again and inwardly groan. She laughs and I watch her fingers entwine a tendril of her hair. She often touches her long, dark strands of hair that frame her gorgeous face. What I’d give to run my fingers through it, to pull it and smack her ass. I shiver at the thought. I’ve gotta stop this.
I follow her around several stores. She’s looking for the perfect outfit to wear and she’s tried on around fifty different things. I can’t tell her she looks amazing in everything, so I just shrug and grunt that she looks ‘okay’. Does Lake do this? Give her fashion advice? I’m seriously gonna question him when he gets back from whatever mission Riggs sent him on.
We’re heading back to the bike when Enzo steps from his restaurant shouting my name. His thick Italian accent causes Leia to smile. She loves Italian food. “Come,” he says, waving us in. “Let me feed this beautiful girl. Do you starve your women at the club? She needs meat on her bones,” he says, ushering us inside and pushing us over to a table.
The Kings Reapers have just begun a new alliance with the Italians, and so far, things are working out well.
Enzo’s son, Vinn, steps over to us and we shake hands. He turns to Leia and his eyes light up. He kisses the back of her hand and she flutters her eyelashes. I glare between them. “Vinn,” I say coolly. “This is Leia, Riggs’ sister.”
“You’re gorgeous.” He smiles and she blushes.
“His nineteen-year-old sister,” I add.
“Almost twenty,” butts in Leia. “Lovely to meet you.”
“The pleasure is all mine,” he says with a wink.
Enzo returns to the table with two plates of pasta. “Eat something before you waste away.”
Leia smiles gratefully. “I was getting hungry,” she admits.
“And Chains wasn’t going to feed you?” Enzo gasps in mock horror.
“It ain’t my job to feed her,” I grunt.
“Lake always feeds me,” she says and I scowl at her.
Vinn places a flyer down on the table for Leia. “We like having pretty girls in our club. Free entry for you and your friends and full use of the VIP area.”
Leia looks over the flyer and smiles. “I love this place. Thanks.”
“Again, can I point out she’s nineteen,” I huff.
“Almost twenty,” Vinn and Leia say at the same time. They both laugh and I tuck into my food before I
